ok. so i attempted this today

1) powered off phone

2) booted in BL mode using power and volume buttons (yes it does work very well, esp after taking the phone OUT of the case so buttons are more fully accessible) - phone screen says "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)" at very top

3) plugged phone into computer

4) double clicked the mofo_gui.bat to open cmd window

5) copy and pasted your text exactly

6) after hitting enter, i got the following error

======================================

'mofoe.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

======================================

methinks you have a typo in your mofo command... extra "e" that should not be there??

taking out the "e" worked and it flashed

it then said

=====================

Flashing 'XT1096_5.0_22.21.11_rooted.img' to device. Do not interrupt.

Progress: 100%

Complete. Press power to start.

=====================

i pushed the power button. it passed though a screen showing the battery level at 97%, but it has not fully booted up... black screen for like ?5 minutes!

if i hit the power button again, it still showed the battery level screen

so i pressed and held BOTH the power and volume buttons, and it booted!

when i power down, it goes to the batter level screen. and i can't seem to get into BL mode using the power and volume buttons

however, i can get to BL, then Recovery using adb, and was able to wipe cache partition

i installed and ran Root Checker Basic ... make sure you click "Grant" when it asks for permission while checking root access, or it will return a "no root access" message.

i now have wifi tethering! yahoo!

unfortuantely, the wifi hotspot toggle widgets i have tried from the Play Store seem to be able to turn hotspot on from the homescreen... i tried like the first two or three that came up when i searched for "wifi hotspot toggle"... anyone have one that works??

i am running Nova Launcher... could that be the issue with the widget not working?

otherwise, i have to go into Settings to turn it on/off... which is better than NOT having hotspot at all!
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
Oops! Thanks for catching that - I will edit!
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
Disconnect it from your PC and then press the power button to turn it on.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
That is b/c it is connected to your computer. The same thing will happen if you have it plugged into the wall.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
Yay!!!! I am at over 50GB this month from all of the downloading of images I did to test them, lol! I have never used that much before.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
Go to your app drawer - there is a Mobile Hotspot icon there. Just press and hold it and drag it to your homescreen.
[X 2014 General] en_pneumati@netzero.net:
tried that... that does take you into Settings so you can turn on the hotspot.

i was hoping to get an app or widget that would turn the hotspot on/off from the home screen with one click, w/o having to do multiple clicks.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
you want a hotspot toggle then, but idk of any off hand.
[X 2014 General] en_pneumati@netzero.net:
might want to just add the words "disconnect the phone fromthe usb cable" somehwere in the OP directions, you know, just for all those noobs out there that might get panicked ;)
[X 2014 General] mikeoswego:
After mofo runs and says complete, it says to hit the power button to restart. What you really want to do is hit the volume up button to activate the highlighted "normal bootup" option in the bootloader menu. This avoids all the weirdness if you're connected to power and using the power button.

​

The image with busybox in it also enables the hotspot QS tile which works great to enable/disable the hotspot. If WiFi is on, it turns off the WiFI, then turns on the hotspot. If the WiFi was on, it remembers to re-enable it when turning the hotspot off.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
thanks! I suggest booting into recovery and wiping cache before you boot back into Android.

yeah I noticed that last night, it is great!
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
There is a Hotspot toggle in quick settings. From your lock screen, just swipe down from the top of the screen to see it. From your home screen, swipe down with 2 fingers.

I know this was posted before but I can't find it; does anyone have an image for an unrooted 5.0 image for VZW (XT1096)?

Mines getting replaced (broken headphone jack) and I don't know if they'll look at my root status/would care, but better safe than out of $500....

Followup, can I just flash the above unrooted 5.0 image via mofo?
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
The link to the official software is in the OP.

well your qe will still be 1/1 even after you flash back to stock or at least mine is. But it has nothing to do with a headphone jack so they can't legally deny warranty service for a defective headphone jack.

No - please read the OP it has all the information you need.
[X 2014 General] Casyis:
Either my searches were faulty or I'm just blind. I'm not finding the links to the pre-rooted image. Could someone point me there?

Thanks [MENTION=5983610]JulesJam[/MENTION] for this awesome tutorial! However, I am having issues finding rooted images for the AT&T XT1097. Looks like all the links in MoFo thread are for the Verizon XT1096.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
maiko1 hasn't opened MoFo up yet to the ATT XT1097. I am getting ready to post about it on the other thread.

I am uploading the image I made with [MENTION=4049305]G4 Man2[/MENTION]'s help and that he tested successfully on his XT1097. But all this image does is give you root access. And since write protection will not be disabled by MoFo, someone will have to bake in useful apps/features like Xposed and that requires linux.

I will post in the other thread as soon as the image is uploaded.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
Read the OP of this thread regarding how to flash back to stock, get into bootloader mode and flash system back to stock. Then try to get into recovery again and wipe cache.

[X 2014 General] lunarman1000:
Does this root method allow you to install custom recovery and rooms? Or does it not unlock the boot loader? Asking about the Moto X 2014 on Verizon running 5.0.
[X 2014 General] Moondroid:
Nope, this provides root only. The phone is still locked with write protection enabled, so you can't install anything but a stock ROM.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
It does not unlock the bootloader. You can flash custom images but they have to be made using linux. More information can be found in this link (which is in the OP).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60412113&postcount=292
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
No, the whole point of mofo is to allow you to flash custom images. The images are not stock.

You in fact can flash custom ROMs if they are in the right format and for your device. For instance, the AT&T model should be able to flash a CM image for the Pure Edition since they should be the same hardware. You obviously can't do it through a custom recovery using a zip file. But if someone with a Pure Edition installed the CM zip file and then pulled the system image from their device, if you can get it in the right format for mofo to flash - ext4 - then it would be flashable by mofo. I am not well versed enough in linux commands to know how to do it, but I know it can be done.
[X 2014 General] xMIChael91x:
Makes sense man so we just need some to give us their system IMG from a pure edition running a custom ROM like cm12 and then format it to work in mofo
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I believe you have to use a dd command to pull the system image and then idk what format that gives you.

MoFo needs the system image to be an ext4 file. If the dd command gives you the system in ext4, then it would be flashable as is. If not, then it has to be converted somehow.
[X 2014 General] Moondroid:
I can certainly understand how it's doable, and I've even "imagined" the possibility myself. But for me (for now) it's purely imagination. :rolleyes:
[X 2014 General] Moondroid:
[Added] But I think there is still some lingering confusion that I've never found fully answered, seeing that Mofo only "unlocks" the system partition for re-writing, not boot or recovery.

@[mention]JulesJam[/mention], which is why you wrote this in another thread? http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/ge...ning-4-4-4-t3088438/post60412113#post60412113

We get "some" ability to flash custom ROMs, but . . . . what exactly are the limitations in terms of what breed of custom ROM can be flashed after mofo'ing a phone? Like for example, Lollipop bootloader vs. Kitkat bootloader (realizing this is an LL thread). With that I'm just prompting (grabbing at straws) for a far more knowledgeable person's response as to how far "customization" can go with Mofo.

PS: Humblest apologies if I'm running in circles because I've been reading at least 3 different threads on the Mofo method, as well as another method that I used to root my Moto X 2013 running 4.4.4 .
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
It doesn't unlock anything. It simply stops the bootloader signature check from preventing a flash of the system partition.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
There are no limitations to what you can flash. You can literally flash anything including complete garbage as the bootloader signature check is bypassed. Now having said that, complete garbage won't boot but you can in fact flash it.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
If you want a phone that works properly, you have to flash a system image that will work on your device given the kernel you are running, your modems/basebands and associated hardware and the partition table requirements.

So for instance, when I flashed the 5.0.2 ATT XT1097 system image to my XT1096 running 5.0, my phone would boot b/c the 5.0.2 ATT system image was the same size as the 5.0 XT1096 system image as specified in the partition table and obviously compatible with the XT1096 kernel (I believe the 5.0.2 kernel is the same as the 5.0 kernel). However, my phone would not work as a phone because the ATT XT1097 system image was written for the hardware/modems/baseband of the ATT device.

If what you are asking is can you flash images written for other devices using mofo, the answer is yes but your phone may not boot and even if it does boot, your phone won't work right unless your phone and the other phone have the same hardware/modems/basebands. Since the Pure Edition XT1095 has the same hardware and similar modems/basebands as the ATT XT1097, you can flash PE XT1095 system images to the ATT XT1097 and they will work.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I just double checked and the 5.0 XT1096 kernel isn't the same as the 5.0.2 ATT XT1097 kernel but they must be close enough so that they will boot the system of the other as I was clearly able to do that.

So that is why you can boot the 5.0.2 ATT XT1097 system image on an XT1096 running a 5.0 kernel - the system images are the same sizes so that is in line with the partition table requirements and the kernels are similar. But like I said, if you do that, your XT1096 won't work as a phone b/c the hardware/modems/basebands of the 2 devices are different so accordingly their system images are different in those aspects that have to do with connecting to the network - e.g., ATT XT1097 does not have a CDMA radio.
[X 2014 General] Moondroid:
That was the heart of the question (and expected answer), but I referred to bootloader when I meant kernel. Sorry for the misdirection.

Nope, wouldn't dream of trying that myself, but thanks for taking the time and trouble to explain all the above.
[X 2014 General] slogar25:
I believe although different kernel versions the drivers are the same as all moto x varients are identical in hardware. The difference would be the radio bandwidths that are enabled in each device. Technically even the pure is capable of all Verizon radio bands. Verizon black lists the pure's imei's which is why we can't activate it on verizon
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
There are definitely hardware differences b/t the XT1096 and the XT1095. I and others have looked at the pictures of the motherboards submitted to the FCC. I don't think the XT1095 has the CDMA chip in it.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/alternative-to-unlocking-verizon-moto-x-t3035256/page4

It is not a matter of blacklisting; it is a matter of not whitelisting. But that only is an issue if the phone is a 3G or a basic phone, which cannot be activated on the Verizon network at all w/o being whitelisted.

For 4G LTE phones, if the phone has a properly configured CDMA radio in it, then all you need to activate it on the Verizon network is an active Verizon SIM card - that is how those with non-Verizon Nexus 6 (myself included) were able to activate their phones on Verizon. Now many people complained to the FCC and were able to get Verizon to eventually whitelist their non-Verizon N6 IMEIs but even before that happened they were able to activate them using an already active SIM card.

Also, there is a clone of the Droid Turbo sold by some regional CDMA carriers - XT1250 US Moto Maxx - that will work on the Verizon network if you put an already active SIM card in it. It's bootloader is unlockable but it's IMEI is not whitelisted by Verizon so it will show as unknown device if you log into your Verizon account and have it on your line.

The XT1250 works fine on Verizon but the issue that arises if you have a non-whitelisted device on your line is that you cannot make changes to your line if one is on your line. And the reps can't do it either - so you have to put a Verizon whitelisted device on your line to make changes. Also, if you are on a More Everything plan and get a line discount for being month to month, then the discount goes away each month and you have to put a Verizon phone on the line and call in to get it added back. Huge hassle if you are on ME plan and are month to month.

Moto X 5.0 to 5.1 not yet MOFO'd

Greetings,

Is there a way to flash a rooted 5.1 image directly over the STOCK 5.0 on the XT1096 using MOFO? Or do I need to get to rooted 5.0 before following mikeoswego's link below to get to 5.1??

[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
You need to also flash the 5.1 logo.bin boot.img, recovery.img, NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn to get the 5.1 system to boot.

Don't flash the 5.1 motoboot.img or gpt.bin as then you will never be able to use MoFo again.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
There seems to be the fewest problems if you delete the contents of the /cache and /data/dalvik-cache folders before you upgrade to 5.1. And to do that you need root.

So I'm on 5.0.1 I want to root my device, install a custom recovery so that I can sim unlock the device. Everywhere I read, it's only possible from 4.4.4 and lower. So my question is, how do I downgrade? I know how to get into recovery. I know how to sideload files. I'm all ears right now. Someone show me the way.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emptyPD:
If you have an Galaxy S4 AT&T you have a locked bootloader, that means you cannot install a custom recovery.

You can go from 5.0.1 OC3 to 4.4.3 NB1 using Odin.
