You CAN flash a custom ROM but someone has to make it for you in the ext4 format. Basically these modified images are custom ROMs.

So if someone has an XT1250 and flashes a custom ROM zip through recovery, they could then pull the image from their device in ext4 format and you could flash that.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

These modified images ARE custom ROMs.

Let's say you want to run CM. Well the easiest way to do it is to get someone with an XT1250 to flash the CM zip through their custom recovery. Then they can pull the file in ext4 format. Then you could flash it with mofo.exe.

It is just a matter of someone making the custom ROM in ext4 format.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

You can modify whatever you want and flash it with mofo.exe. You can make a garbage file and it will flash as long as it is in ext4 format. However, it won't boot.

So yes, you can do whatever you want to the file - the trick is modifying the file to add features that work w/o bugs.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
Holy moly. Really? So all we need to do really is find someone with an XT1250? Let's find this guy!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
Would cm function though with our radios and hardware? I would doubt it would function appropriately.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
Also keep in mind that if a ROM relies on a custom kernel, then no, that won't work because mofo only allows us to flash unsigned system images. We can't flash unsigned kernels.

But as long as a custom ROM only modifies the system partition and is a full image in ext4 format, you can flash it. If the custom ROM has to write to system during runtime, then no, that won't work either. But symlinks may be able to work around that.

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

If someone has an XT1225 with an unlocked bootloader, they should be able to do it too. Flash the XT1254 firmware, then boot into recovery, flash the custom ROM zip, then pull the image in ext4 format.

The only issue would be if the custom ROM zip has some tweaks in it that won't work right on the XT1254. I don't know what those would be though. I don't know how different the system image for the XT1254 is from the XT1225.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] diabl0w:
yeah i guess i shoulda said boot in place of flash, but i figured it was understood that i wouldnt want to flash an image that did nothing

right, obviously that is key... im suprised (maybe at myself) that this wasnt made more clear. it seemed too stressed that we had to keep so much of the stock framework in order for it to boot. i just never really thought about how mofo worked, but from what i gather its nothing more than overloading the cache to force a /system write... therefore you could put any type of operable image on there.

ahhh yes, this is what was slipping my mind
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
I am not sure how it works. Was it explained somewhere?

All I know is that it allows us to flash unsigned system images. Those images can be modified however you want but you have to know what you are doing b/c they still need to be bootable and functional. Basically when you modify these images you are making your own custom ROM.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
as long as the ONLY thing you modify is the hosts file and the permissions on the new hosts file are the same as the original one, you should be fine.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlgroff:
Uh nope. You'd need the kernel in the boot.img and that wouldn't flash on a locked device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
Thanks for the clarification. Btw nice to see you active on the turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlgroff:
I've been watching, biding my time for an opportunity to help. *Batman*
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
Yeah, like I said in my later post, if the custom ROMs depend on a custom kernel, then no, it won't work.

Interesting, thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PittAussie:
Since it would appear enough people have confirmed this is working, I won't go through testing it yet. I will wait for the rooted image. Particularly I will wait for Xposed and V4A. The V4A sound mods give awesome sound, including tweaking Bluetooth audio which most other equalizer programs don't seem to effect.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Waiting for Computerfreak273's root/xposed/adblock build myself. Hate that V4A stuff, it always disables USB audio out!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] windraver:
How exciting. So a question for the experts:

1. What changes would need to be made in the lollipop image in order for it to be "rooted"
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
Whenever the final image is ready, please please replace the system UI with the stock lollipop one. I can't stand Verizon's molestation of the status bar icons.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Those icons can be changed using GravityBox (an Xposed module). At least it could on KitKat. I haven't used GravityBox for LP yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
I've tried using gravitybox to replace the 4g icon. Doesn't work. I can change the battery, but not the 4g icon. Anyone gotten that to work?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mikeyy233:
wait can i downgrade to 4.4.4 using this threw fastboot? or will i brick ? can we do without mofo root please say yes lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] trikotret:
Mine worked too. But I had to factory reset phone to get it to boot after I flashed image
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] computerfreek274:
Very soon.

I am working on it as I send this msg. However I am not home and I am working over team viewer to my Linux box from my tablet. I will be home tomorrow after noon some time and we will go from there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
On kitkat, yes I have. Although now that I think about it, I might have used a different module for that purpose. I think it was an Xposed module that only did that. I don't remember. But yes, I did replace that ugly 4G icon with the proper icon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
signal icons aosp, I believe is what I use on kk.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] firstEncounter:
I posted the rooted 5.1 image + upgrading instructions in this thread.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] diabl0w:
if you took the ota lollipop update, you cant do this and you arent going to be getting root on this device unless a new exploit is found
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mikeyy233:
i just wanna go back to stock tho without root
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
unfortunately, the gpt.bin repartitions your phone to lollipop and there is no going back. on other motos (even bl unlocked) you have the same problem. a new sw version (kk->lp here) makes it impossible to fully go back. on a phone without bootloader unlock, its not really possible at all. for the moment. very likely forever.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
If you could find the name of it I would really appreciate it. The VZW icon is so goddamn big. It annoys me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mikeyy233:
then why they post the file on here if we cant go down?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] trikotret:
This thread is for folks who didn't take the OTA update only.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] drizzzzzz:
Xstana is the xposed module I use to modify the icons, it's not perfect but it works much better than gravity box ever did.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
signal icons aosp and the color settings from gravity box work well. gravity box on its own just colors the icon. (which i like) but the dang data traffic arrows stay white no matter what. hence why i grabbed aosp signal icons.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
I feel like I can breathe again. Thanks man!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Yeah, it's signaliconsAOSP. I'm using it right now on my rooted, xposed, debloated (manually, because I wanted to keep some of the apps that the patch got rid of) 5.1 ROM! Woo!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
For anyone looking for this apk, when I searched through Xposed installer for it, it didn't show up as Signal Icons or SignalIcons. It showed up as AOSP Signal Icons. So that's what you need to search for to find it. It's going to make your signal icon blue as well, so go into Gravity box and set the color to white under statusbar tweaks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
For future reference, if you are interested in root and your bootloader is locked, NEVER take an OTA. Wait for a root method to become available for the newer OS version - then flash the full files and use the root method. In this instance, you only flash some of the full files and stay on the older bootloader and partition table.

But in general, if root is something you want and your bootloader is locked NEVER TAKE AN OTA!!!!!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ds728:
I got this to work when I combined Gravitybox mod + "AOSP Signal Icons" Exposed module.

Not sure if they're both necessary, but once I got it to work I just left it that way.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Can someone please tell where to start with rolling this back to kit Kat. I can't deal with 5.1. It took a great phone to a piece of junk. I just need to know where to start and most posted here is over my head. I will at least admit it. Is there a video or step be step instructions somewhere?

Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] weaver11b:
Can't be done as of right now, and probably never will be able to. You are stuck on 5.1 man...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
If you took the official OTA 5.1 update or sideloaded the soak test there is no way to go back to 4.4.4 as of right now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] neozen21:
If you took the OTA or sideloaded the OTA, meaning you updated the Bootloader, then there is no way of downgrading back to 4.4.4

Unless, mofo is updated to work with 5.1 bootloader, you are out of luck.... sorry...

However, if you didn't update your bootloader to 5.1, then just follow the same steps using 4.4.4 files.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Thanks for the replies. Looks like i am screwed, I am so pissed I even thought about switching. Which would mean giving up my UDP. Funny thing is the only change thats messing me up is Tasker no longer is able to control my 4g signal and background data. I live in a weak signal area and battery now lasts about 12 hours.

A factory reset cures all ills. It is a PITA to have to do it but it works.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] weaver11b:
He did state that he is 80% sure it will work, he just has to find time to write it, even if it doesnt work he said it wont brick our devices, just wont flash. I am really hoping he is right, but either way i am happy with the 5.1. Battery life is insane, but if i could use amplify, power nap, and greenify i bet i could get 3 days out of this phone instead of 2.

This morning. Tinkered with xposed and modules running computerfreek274s 493dpi .IMG. After literally an hour, off and on, my battery was still at 99%. I am so glad I did a complete wipe.

Correct.

Not warranty. Every turbo comes with a screen replacement. You'd have to call verizon to figure it out.

OK, first off I just want to say thanks for the help. I usually can figure the problem out without having to bug anyone.

So my problem has to do with the quick settings on my htc one (m7) running viperone 9.0.0. When I installed extended settings it brought all my quick setting tiles to my notification area (I'm use to that, usually I'm able to take it back to normal). I've tried to set the tiles how I've wanted them but it never seems to work.

In the status bar settings in xtended settings app you have settings panel options I click it and there are 3 options; disable, tile quick settings, and htc quick settings. The disabled option is the only thing that will work.

Even when I tap the edit quick settings from my notification area still nothing will change.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Googleness:
Hello Everyone,

I'm facing some challenging issue for few hours now and now I'm asking for your kind assistance.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE (HLTE \ SM-N9005 \ N9005XXUGB0D3).

The device warranty was over this week so I've decided to try Cyanogenmod on it after the device received OTA update to Android 5.0 which I didn't like much due to its much different menus and user experience (Using Cyanogenmod on my tablet and I'm pleased with it).

So,

First step was to install ClockWork recovery but I'm failing each time.

There is a bug with Heimdall and this specific phone model which cause communication problems so it's not working.

Then I've tried ODIN instead but.

I get the "successfully Installed" message but when I go into recovery it is still the default one and not the ClockWork version.

Then I tried Root+Rom Manager via the phone itself.

Rom Manager tells me it installed the correct version of ClockWork *according to the wiki 6.0.4.8) but when I choose to go into recovery mode to verify it either by menually using the VOL\Home\Power combo or the button from inside the Rom Manager app it is still booting to the default recovery mode and not clockwork.

Now after breaking something (probably using different versions of odin or something) I can't get into recovery mode at all. I can see the blue text message of "going into recovery mode" for 1-2 seconds then I get into download mode screen instead.

And chance you can help me with my problem so I'll be able to install ClockWork recovery on this device?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Using root + app called [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool I've easily managed to install clockwork and then the Cynoagenmod\Gapps pack.

Recently I had some issues with my exchange server account and ended up having to manually enter all of my contacts all over again. No big deal. I go into exchange and type them all in from my computer.

Now when someone calls, it no longer displays their name. The contacts are in my phone, saved with a 10 digit number including area code, but when they call, it's as if it's a number that's not saved as a contact, ie, just the number shows up.

I've tried messing with the number formatting (Including parenthesis and dashes, omitting them, adding a 1 in front of the number, excluding it), and nothing seems to help. If I save the contact from the phone, it shows up when they call, if I don't, it doesn't.

Any ideas? I really don't want to go back and enter all my contact on my thumbboard...
