[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] chy_vak:
Hello everyone,

I've recently gotten the Huawei Ascend G7 phone. Spec wise, it's amazing; nice camera, solid processor - but I digress. The amount of bloatware on it is absurd, and it's always running these obscure instances and redundancies. I feel like, if it were running a custom ROM that didn't take up 98% of all resources 99% of the time, it'd be a JetPhone, (million dollar idea, anyone?)

So back to the point, I want to root my Ascend G7 but I can't do that without unlocking the bootloader first, which I also can't do because if I wouldn't spend $7 on a subway sandwich, I definitely wouldn't spend $30 for an arbitrary expense (unlock code from my service provider) that, technically speaking, I can live without.

But we all have wants, and all the best things in life are free. Now, currently, I am working on my own rooting process specific to the Ascend G7. Before such an administrative decision was made, to write my own root script, I've shuffled through countless root tools, and not a single one worked. Root Genius came pretty close, but it failed, and ended up prompting me the attached photo. Now, I should take that as a compliment, but this is no time for that.

Anyway, if anyone has any information regarding how to unlock the bootloader, please feel free to throw in some suggestions. I am pretty sure that the Ascend G7 cannot be rooted without first unlocking the bootloader, but if anyone has anything on hand that is on the contrary, that'd be great too.

Thank you in advance, everyone! I will post a root tool specific to the Ascend G7 whenever I finish it, (assuming it works, in the end). One way or another, you will be rooted, G7! You will be rooted ;)
[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] MiniatureTheGod:
For rooting use kingroot or kingoroot, they should both work pretty good on G7.

For costum roms you need your bootloader unlocked, try searching on google how to unlock your bootloader and how to get a costum recovery.

I cannot believe I bricked mine after 2 weeks -.-
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
They could never release them. Please keep calling and emailing them - explain to them that it was THEIR OTA that bricked your device because it didn't have the proper checks in it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
I doubt they will release them. They are used at their service centers tp repair phones which brings in money for repairs. We can only hope that they will be leaked someday. Technically they don't release firmware for non pure edition devices either. Those are leaks, not releases.

If you use Motorola Device Manager to upgrade your OS, it leaves a copy of the fxz on your computer.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Yes, but those files are used to upgrade the phone through mdm. They did not release them to us as a firmware file for us to flash as we want to when we want to.

Sent from my XT1095
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
The firmware stays on your computer until you delete it so think of it however you want to, but they provide us with a piece of software that if you use it gives us the firmware for our device. And we can use that firmware at any time as we see fit.

The firmware is left in this folder:

c:\programdata\motorola\SUE\firmwares

You can flash it as much as you want.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfu11:
And that's the problem people are trying to treat their device like a pure edition then complaining when something goes wrong.

There's a reason that the files disappear after the update it's to stop people from screwing things up.

It appears the bricks started a few days ago, I downgraded my X once, 3 weeks ago, no brick...Did it again yesterday, bricked.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Those are not the blankflash files for the MX14. Someone posted a link to those without knowing what they were talking about.

There are no blankflash files for the MX14. The MX14 blankflash files are the 8974 not the 8960.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

The bricks started once people decided to downgrade from the 5.1 soak. Instead of downgrading to 5.0, they erroneously downgraded to 4.4.4 then took the 5.0 OTA causing the bricks.

This is entirely motorola's fault for not writing the 5.0 OTA updater script properly. There should be checks in it that prevent the bricks by preventing the 5.0 OTA updater script from trying to patch the 5.1 bootloader.

Complain to Motorola - their faulty prorgramming caused the bricks. At a minimum, they should provide warranty replacements if they won't provide the blankflash files.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduard666:
So, the files could be find in the firmware, or any other way, or the only way to get them is motorola's release?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
I have a copy of what appears to be the blankflash files for the XT1085, which is the Moto X 2014 sold in China.

https://mega.co.nz/#!BkNTARoR!JMHaSbk4qC0QnutDmU4tcB8UE7HwlksaQDDIO8xtLug

First - when I download the file in Chrome, it is blocked due to possible malware. I had to change my setting to download it. I am not sure why that occurred..

Second, I don't see the hex file in there, rather there is an mbn. Is the mbn the same as the hex file?

Third, the singleimage.bin is in there. I am assuming since the XT1085 uses the same processor as all of the other MX14's, these files should work for all MX14's but I don't know for sure.

I don't know much about the blankflash process so I can't answer questions about it. I don't know what to do with any of these files and I don't know if there are any issues with using the XT1085 blankflash files with other models of the MX14. I am posting these in case someone else does.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
[MENTION=5983610]JulesJam[/MENTION]

The XT1085 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC v3.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=7436&c=motorola_moto_x_2nd_gen_4g_td-lte_xt1085_16gb

Based on the same web, my model (european MOTO X, XT1092) has the PROCESSOR: Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC v3.

The pure edition (xt1095) has Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC v3 http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&...moto_x_2nd_gen_lte-a_pure_edition_xt1095_16gb

So it seems they have the same processor.

I'll try tomorrow to flash that blankflash files to my briked device.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4ph431:

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

So do you think the singleimage.bin files must be for 5.1 version bootloader?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
Yes, I think so.

Or maybe we need the 4.4.4 version... But I'm not even sure what version is the singleimage.bin we have from the Chinese version.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
The Chinese XT1085 is currently on 5.02. I think it was released in late January and I think it released with 5.0.2 and 60.12 bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/img-retcn-xt1085-lxe22-92-18-t3024024

Also [MENTION=5086595]Dusty tears[/MENTION] is the poster who sent me the file so maybe he would know more.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
I don't remember in what version of bootloader I'm stuck :confused:.

Is he capable to access all version files?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
No, he only has this one. Maybe when the XT1085 is updated to 5.1 he will have one for that but that of course assumes that the blankflash files are bootloader version dependent. Do we know this for sure?

Have people tried using the method in this thread on the moto x 2013 forum using these files and also with the emmc_appsboot.mbn file I posted above? Also search the other thread on this - someone else had a hex file they said was the same as my mbn file.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
I only tried with the Chinese method. I don't know what files to use with the Moto X 2013 method.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
singleimage.bin from the Chinese blankflash.zip and the emmc_appsboot.mbn file I posted above, which I was told is the same as the 8974 hex file. So you would use this method here:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

and substitute the singleimage.bin for the Chinese blankflash.zip for MSM8960_bootloader_singleimage.bin and substitute emmc_appsboot.mbn for MPRG8960.hex.

If that doesn't work, then search the threads on this forum for other hex files to see if they work. There is nothing to lose by trying as you are hard bricked.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
I can try, but not today. I'll tell you if I find any successful combination.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4ph431:
I tried it, it didnt work. False version error.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Do you think that means the bootloader version? The XT1085 is on 5.0.2 and you all updated to either 60.14 or 60.16.

Or do you think that refers to the model number XT1085?

Also, my emmc_appsboot.mbn is from 5.0. That file may be unsigned so if that is the issue, then that file may be able to be created.

They probably won't because the only one's covered for unlocked bootloaders are the pure editions. the Nexus 6 files were release by Motorola to probably keep return costs down.

Motorola(after the online support walked me through idiot steps that people could Google) called me and all I had to pay was $24 for them to overnight me a new phone and they put a $500 lean on my credit if the old phone isn't sent in within 7-10 days. They send a package with a prepaid UPS or FedEx shipping label as well. So happy with their service. Sucks that they need better programmers for error checks like this. But hey, I will still have a kick ass phone.

Your beating a dead horse.... The files REQUIRE a signature to flash as this is all part of the bootloader security. Moto will not post the needed signed files as that allows us to get around the security aka with those files you could go back to an older bootloader with a KNOWN vulnerability. If moto hasn't posted the files by now give up its not gonna happen.

Hello everyone!

I am having issues with google maps not updating my location in realtime. It takes no more than a couple of seconds to find my current position, but afterwards, once I start driving, it will only update every 10-30 seconds. This causes problems in my city since I can pass 5 turns in 30 seconds.

I have (obviously) a OnePlus One, running CM12s with the most updated ROM and Google Maps app. I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader. I have the GPS set to high accuracy, and have Google Maps allowed to use the Location services.

No amount of googling I've done could find me a straight answer. Any ideas? I appreciate the help in advance.

Be careful with any updates regarding security. Often these updates patch exploits which means you can lose root.
