[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I think you misunderstand. The band support for this device is determined in software (not by hardware, as it is for most previous smartphones). Once you've successfully run the T-Mob US RUU (which includes the appropriate radio software for T-Mob), you will have the proper band support for that carrier.

However, it does require you to jump through a few hoops (s-off, change CID/MID, etc.) which aren't that hard. But if you are at all concerned that anything will go wrong and prevent you from having the proper band support; and would rather have the proper bands "out of the box" (to be on the safe side) than I'd agree that you should get the T-Mobile US branded version.

If you have access to the phone, I believe you can look at the sticker under the battery. I think the Developer editions read "DE" or "DEV" on the sticker.

Did a quick search on the net and found two websites one which verified my IMEI as a nexus 5. I know swappa has one and imei.info is another website that worked also

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jedpublic:
Yes, thank you. I'm already aware of Swappa and its ESN checker. I'm not worried about whether the phone will work or not.

Rather, I wanted to know if there were hardware/software indicators that would let me know whether the phone is actually a developer's version. The ESN check doesn't tell you the make/model of the phone. And IMEI.info gives incorrect information (says it's a Nokia 1616).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jedpublic:
So yes, it says Developer Device inside. Is that the only indicator? Thanks!

Now, I'm wondering if there is any indication in the software. I realize the bootloader is unlocked but does it have a different version number or anything?

I know the device ID is SCH-I535MBCVZW versus SCH-I535 for the regular VZW contract version. As far as the roms you can use any VZW rom or even d2lte

I've already searched the Grand Duos forum, but I didn't found nothing that could answer me.

I really didn't enjoyed these Android L custom ROMs... And I would like to downgrade from the 5.0.2 Android to the old 4.1.2/4.2.2 Jellybean. Am I able to do this? If yes, then how can I do so?

Try sunshine app
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
That's what I was thinking but, again, seems like there are so many variables when it comes to the maxx and obtaining root. Is there a particular starting point you can link me to? Would be much appreciated (I have not used sunshine app before).
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunscape:
Start with sunshine and just Google search for bootloader unlock and sunshine
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
What sunscape said. Sunshine will unlock your boot loader and you will not have to worry about any of the variables.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Thanks guys. As soon as I get the time to give it a go, I'll post back with results. Much appreciated.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
Here is the link. Sunshine does need root to run but I believe it should be able to get temp root. Download it and run it. If it can gain root it will tell you and ask for $20. If not it will simply fail. If it cant get root, look up slapmymoto which will give you root access. Word of warning unlocking your boot loader voids the warranty.

http://theroot.ninja/download.html
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Thanks chuck. That was one of the things that was throwing me. Will slapmymoto give me perm root, or is it temp? Basically, what do I need to do, if possible, to obtain perm root?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osucowboy96:
Once you get unlocked via Sunshine, you can install TWRP and get perm root.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Sweet. So, as I understand as of now, I should try sunshine app alone first, if that does not work I should try slapmymoto in order to apply the sunshine unlock. Once that is successful, install twrp, and move forward. Is this correct?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
Slapmymoto is a way to perm root but I'm not sure if it will work for you or not. It has been awhile since I used it and what versions it works for. Try downloading sunshine and run it. It will try and get temp root (which is all it needs) to unlock your boot loader. Once your boot loader is unlocked, you can flash twrp recovery(which installs perm root) and never have to worry about losing root again.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Nice. Thanks again, I've been looking at these threads for a couple days and haven't come to a conclusion as to what needed be done.

I know this is a lazy question but, will I need a pc for this at any point? Just wondering, as I don't have access to one on hand.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
No and yes. ;)

On your phone:

click on the link for sunshine, scroll to the bottom and download the latest version. Once it downloads, run it and agree to the permissions. It will try and gain root access. If it does, then it will run some test and see if it can unlock you boot loader. If it can, it will ask for some money(well worth it in my opinion). Pay the money and it will unlock your boot loader which will allow you to flash anything you want on your phone.

Now the computer comes in.

Download twrp on your pc.. (Just search this forum for the right version) and flash it with adb in fastboot. (Lots of instructions on this as well). Once it's done, reboot into recovery and when you exit twrp recovery it will ask it you want to install superuser(aka root), tell it yes.

I don't think there is a method for rooting your phone with out a PC.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Perfect. Sounds easy enough.

The reason I asked about the pc, I did not have to use one to root my SG3 but, I figured since this particular phone has given the development such difficulty, they likely hadn't worked it all into process that did not require a pc.

Much gratitude, sir. I will be on this asap. I just got the phone in today, ordered from swappa, and am looking forward to moving my line from that SG3 to this much nicer device. Always did prefer Motorola and I think I made a good choice this time. May end up trying a work around to use my upgrade (unlimited on verizon) to get a Turbo in the near future but I am weary of mucking up my UDP.

Anyways, I'll report back with results as they come.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Question, would it be possible to ins TWRP via their app, instead of the fastboot method? I know that the app install requires root but, I am able to gain temp root via sunshine before I bought the license and was able to run and use root apps such as titanium backup and rom toolbox. That being so, would the twrp app work if I ran the sunshine temp root first? How risky is this or are there any known complications from this being tried before.

Bottom line, I am trying to get around having to use a pc as I do not have quick access to one.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
did you unlock your bootloader via sunshine already?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Yes
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Just looked in my app drawer, sunshine app is gone. Does this mean I will not be able to run the 'tests', and acquire temp root via their app, since I have already unlocked?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
OK, I reinstalled the sunshine app, ran the test and was told it had gained temp root. However, I was unable to run titanium backup like I was before I unlocked. So, I guess that I maybe should have tried that route before hand. Back to the pc, fastboot method. I have a few questions, as I was at the library earlier but had to leave before I was able to complete the twrp install.

1. Do I need to download and install any drivers if the PC is already able to read my device?

2. Where do I enter the necessary commands on the PC, such as:

From your computer, open a command prompt and type:

adb reboot bootloader

I was a bit rushed and didn't get the time to look over all skd tools, maybe I was supposed to enter the command from there? I would like to get a general idea of how these tools work, or how I am supposed to use them, before I go back to the library so I am not trying to figure all this out while I am in there.

ETA: found most of my answers in post #93 here - http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...oid-maxx-bootloader-unlocked-root-away-4.html
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
OK, the last time I had tried to run titanium backup (to confirm root), it wouldn't recognize the root. This apparently was because I had already opened the app and had not closed it. Realized my mistake, closed the app, reopened with root access.

So, I downloaded the TWRP app from Google play, and got so far as completing the download for the install but, did not have the stones to continue further without knowing this has or has not been tried before.

1. Is it safe?

2. I had downloaded the latest version listed within the TWRP app for the motor x (ghost), would this version work?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
AFAIK you cannot use the TWRP app, it flashes TWRP to the wrong location. If you have root use flashify and flash the twrp from here http://xdaforums.com/droid-ultra/development/twrp-2-8-4-0-droid-mini-ultra-maxx-t3012851, or use fastboot to flash that image.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Borrowed a friend's laptop and downloaded the required files but, I am having problems flashing motoroot to my device. When I type in the command, I get a 'do not install this app' prompt on my phone. I click to 'install anyway', and in the CMD window it says,

"Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]"

What am I doing wrong, what do I need to do?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
I'm not familiar with using motoroot. (maybe someone else can chime in on that) Were you not able to get twrp flashed?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Sorry, got off track trying a different method.

I was successful in installing twrp (or so it seemed) in fastboot as per instructions here, http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/234/

Once I did the fastboot reboot, the phone rebooted as normal. Then I flashed supersu, when I tried to install it I got an error saying "there are no binaries and supersu can not install them"

I tried going back into fastboot to reinstall twrp but, when I did I got an error message saying that fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I then tried boot into recovery from fastboot, and I got the Android belly up with red triangle. From here I held power button, and rebooted the phone as normal.

So, I'm confused. It said twrp install was successful, but it seems as it was not.

ETA: here is a pic of the CMD text for the twrp install.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
TWRP did not get installed. The only thing I can see in the picture you posted was where you had typed fastboot reboot.

Once you get TWRP installed you would need to flash the latest supersu.zip. Just downloading the supersu app from the playstore does nothing unless you already have root.

What I do when I install twrp is to rename the downloaded image to twrp.img (don't forget to set your pc to show file extensions) as it's easier to type

I go to the folder where twrp.img resides and, with the cursor on empty space with no files selected, hit <shift> and right click. Then select "open a command window here"

In the command window type "fastboot devices" if you get a number then fastboot recognizes your phone

type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img let it do it thing then type fastboot reboot-bootloader then boot to recovery and flash the supersu.zip

supersu can be found here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
The pic does not show the command, but it is there. What the pic shows is the installation text of twrp, the end of it. I can post a pic of the whole text if you want.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
Also, I did flash supersu, i was not however in recovery when I did so. My problem now is the fact that I cannot even get the CMD to recognize a fastboot command. Therefore, I cannot flash anything from fastboot.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
The whole text would be helpful.

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

It needs to be flashed in recovery. My intuition tells me that you don't have adb/fastboot installed correctly
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
I may not have it setup correctly, that is a possibility, not saying it is not. However, I was able to flash the supersu program to the phone, even though it was not in recovery. It showed a successful install in CMD, supersu app appeared in app drawer and was operable. However, when I opened it, it then gave me the error message saying no binaries found, supersu cannot install them.

Up until I flashed twrp in fastboot, and supersu after reboot, I was able to give fastboot commands. Now that those two things took place, once I'm in fastboot, the CMD does not recognize the fastboot command.

If I had ADB setup wrong, would I still be able to control the device with ADB commands? Seems like that would not be so but I'm certainly no expert on this.

Post with pic(s) of full text from twrp install to come shortly.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
The first time I tried to flash twrp, I realized I had typed the path variable incorrectly, so I fixed it then reentered the twrp flash command.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
Well you can see where it doesn't flash, it errors out.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
On the first one, yes. Once I fixed the variable, it seemed to have flashed, at least thats what it looks like to me.

Where do I need to go from here? I am not at all against wiping the phone and starting over from fresh if that would be the best/easier solution.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
This is the guide I use to install adb/fastboot on my PC's. It properly sets it up so it's in the system path so you can run adb/fastboot commands from any cmd window and not just in the platform tools folder. http://www.droidrzr.com/topic/6369-how-to-properly-set-up-adb-and-fastboot-for-your-windows-7-pc/
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
You forgot the link but, I'm making the assumption that the guide tells you to copy the fastboot and ADB files (platform tools) into a new 'android-sdk' folder directly in c:/. Is this correct?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
From what you have pictured twrp didn't flash. The command you entered first "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" is correct, you just have to make sure that the file twrp.img is in the folder you are running the command from. ex. c:\users\paula\

Things you can try.

1. make sure you have USB debugging turned on under developer options on your phone.

2. make sure The twrp file you downloaded is saved in the directory you are running the fastboot command from.

Here is a great guide with all the files you need. If you still have trouble, try starting over and following it.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
At this point, I would prefer to start over. Any idea why I am unable to boot to recovery? And, why fastboot is no longer recognized on the pc?

I am able to enter fastboot on the phone via ADB, but once there, the pc CMD does not recognize fastboot. Also, if I try to enter recovery from fastboot via my volume buttons, I get the Android belly up with red triangle.

Trying to understand what I did wrong and where I need to begin to fix the issue.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
it simply didn't flash. You don't have twrp on your phone. The belly up android is the stock android recovery.

When you say it doesn't recognize fastboot, do you mean it doesn't recognize your phone or what?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck864:
EDIT:

Sorry [MENTION=4439832]BladeRunner[/MENTION] My screen didn't refresh so I didn't see your post, I'll let you take it from here. ;)

If you already have fastboot, adb, and twrp downloaded, copy all three into the same location/folder on your computer, launch a command prompt, change to the directory/folder where you have all three files, and try running the commands again.

adb devices (should list your phone)

adb reboot bootloader (should reboot your phone into fastboot)

once in fastboot:

fastboot devices (should list you phone again)

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (should say flash successful)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rg449:
