Q&A for Original Motorola Firmware Collection

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Original Motorola Firmware Collection. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

XT1068 downgrade to 4.4.4 fail

Dear all,

I'm new to xda and to ROM tweaking and changing, but I am a developer and I know Linux very well.

I'm trying to restore the factory 4.4.4 ROM on my XT1068 because I can't live with Lollipop even if I tried for weeks.

The factory images are posted in this thread http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/orig-development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533 and I followed the instructions there and other instructions as well with no success so far.

What I tried, after rooting the phone and unlocking the bootloader has been:

- flashing according to http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657 using fastboot commandline from my laptop

- trying to install with TWRP

Attempts with fastboot commands were a total failure and only lead me to bricking the system multiple times. Apparently the signature is not accepted so some of the fastboot flash steps miserably fail and brick the system.

Attempts with TWRP to install or wipe and install (also disabling the signature check otherwise it gets stopped by that) bring nowhere, with TWRP just telling that there was an error flashing right after checking the md5sum. By the way: there was no md5sum on the files in the original thread, so I created my own one (with the risk of having wrong md5 if the download was corrupted).

After hours spent on this the only thing I think I figured out is that lollipop bootloader is a nightmare and prevents me from installing 4.4.4. I can't figure out how you guys managed to install without complaints the 4.4.4 images. BTW: the 5.0 image I had on the smartphone was the RETGB one and it was bought over amazon, originally shipped with 4.4.4

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratt3:
Hey guys,

I use the encryption feature of the stock Android 4.4.4 at my Moto G2 XT1068.

The problem is TWRP and CWM don't decrypt the data partition. Therefore I can't do basic things like wipe cache/dalvik or access the internal storage.

Does anyone know a solution to decrypt the data partition? I don't want to forego the encryption feature.

If I get instructions for modifying the source code I can do this too. But be considerate of me, I have only basic skills about bulding from source.

Thank you for your help.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObadUl024:
Hi, I have a similar issue with the decryption. My Phone is Sky Vega IM-A880S. This makes it a lot harder to get hold of ROMS and recoveries . I have been able to find just one recovery that works for it. But it won't decrypt the phone when I give in my PIN.

Is there anyway I can maybe get around this ?

Thanks.

I was curious, didn't know where to post this, but I noticed that some of the roms have some pretty cool sounds for like incoming txt or mms, or email ...what i am trying to accomplish by this thread is for everyone who views this to share your sound fonts or msg alerts... I know there was a specific one in molski's rom i think it was...anyway, it sounded like green lantern an u hear like some weird whirly sound and then a voice says "you gotta msg" ....(jus so ppl have an idea of what i mean ) ....ight...jus puttin this out there to see who's wit me on this one....Peace
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fikezof:
A few days ago I booted my phone normally and I got an strange app running right as the phone turned on. It's called CommServer, and theres a message saying "CommServer has started".

I investigated a lot about this and it seems that this is a testing app to check the phone functions, and to use it you have to fastboot the phone and select the BPTools option. However, I am booting my phone normally and I get this app running on the background. It's really annoying because the phone starts up on Airplane Mode when this happens, and the USB connection to the computer doesnt work, along with a lot of other functions that are turned off.

When I fastboot my phone and select either "Start up normally" or "BPTools" the CommServer thing disappears completely, and my phone works perfectly. I tried flashing my device from 4.4.4 to 4.4.4 from a different country and the problem persisted. I tried upgrading to 5.1 and the problem still persists.

So I assume something like BPTools became the default launch for the phone, since it appears only when I start the phone without fastboot. Is there a way to permanently change the default boot mode for the phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmpnken82:
1. OPEN UNI ANDROID TOOL

2. CLICK ON MOTOROLA TAB THEN NEW FRP METHOD

3. THIS WILL REMOVE FRP AND WILL ALSO REMOVE "The CommServer has Started." The process is CQATest. NOW YOUR PHONE WILL BOOT NORMALLY.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nagmanat:
Hello.

I used cm-12-20150310-UNOFFICIAL-nypon.zip three months and today I wanted to use MIUI ROM. So I downloaded MIUI_6_Xperia_P_5.6.11_V2.zip, copied to SD, boot into recovery mode (via shutdown menu), cleared caches and flashed ROM => reboot. Now, I see first loader screen SONY and bottom XPERIA STE and second loader screen MI (mi.com) powered by android. Unfortunately, second loader screen is all what I see - there is phone freeze. Propably I forgot clear Data cache. So a simple question is: How I can boot into recovery via hw keys? I googled some tips like,turn off device and press up/down but nothing is working.

Thanks for save my girlfriend phone ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jihey:
the solution is to the stock ROM JB and do everything from scratch
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nagmanat:
Can you explain how? Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jihey:
installing the stock ROM you let flashtool then start ROM then turn off your phone and enter fastboot mode and install the kernel remember to follow instructions either post your problem is very common when a clean installation is not done
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nagmanat:
I just successfully flashed my girlfriends phone and I'm very surprised with MIUI! UI is smooth and fast, but there is one issue, which does this ROM unusable for me: Security Warning popup when I use some app using internet. For example: when I open Messenger, I periodically getting popup: "Messenger is trying to directly send multimedia messages" with options Deny Once, Allow Once. I found thread (http ://en.miui.com/thread-106710-1-1.html) where someone advises to use an old ROM (but for different device). You dont have this problem? Maybe I'm missing some settings. Thanks!

how to install this rom?

flash back my original firmware?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] badhon_raj:
been using this rom for 1 week now.

I liked the interface and all. worked really good. no fc or anything.

But the main problem is, this rom is very slow. Uses a lot of ram. free ram is very low. can not keep multiple app open at the same time.

Not suitable for daily use.

original cm11 runs way better than this. moving back to cm11 bu percy.

[XDA Assist] lukyjunkie:
I bought a Motorola XT1031 Moto G (System version 210.12.57.flacon_cdma.Boost.en.US sprint - Build KXB21.14-L1.57) with Kitkat 4.4.4 from TextNow and I want to root the phone but it comes with special software from them that I don't want to lose. That software basically integrates the TextNow VoIP service seamlessly with the native dial-pad and controls of the phone. It also lets the owner conveniently know how much cellular data is remaining out of the monthly allowance. It's basically a re-branded Boost Mobile CDMA phone (not GSM).

I'm not used to writing in forums so I apologize in advance for anything I did wrong.

Can I back up what's on it or do I need to do something special?

I'm planning to use an OTG drive but I think I have to root the phone to use it.

This is my first Andriod phone and I could use some help.

What's the safest approach to root the phone that allows me to undo any damage I cause in the process?
[XDA Assist] Razvan:
Hi there,

All you need for your device is here: [RC-FAQ] >> Frequently Asked Questions for Motorola Moto G [Updated : 2014/02/08]. Read part where is about root, see post 2, Q8 ...

For other questions use same forum for Q&A.

Good luck
[XDA Assist] lukyjunkie:
Thank you, R_a_z_v_a_n.

This thread you posted has a lot of helpful information but I haven't found anything specifically related to the special TextNow software described in post #1 (or maybe I missed it?). I tried using the thread 'Search' feature with the keywords 'TextNow' and 'Text Now'. I'm hoping to find another TextNow user on this thread with the same situation I'm in and a successful story to learn from his or her experience, assuming I'm not the first person to root a phone with the specifications I mentioned above.

Rooting an Android looks like a risky procedure because I've seen many threads where people complain about stuff not working properly after their attempts. From the lessons learned from other posts it seems to me that I will have to compromise something to root the phone and I want to know what it is before I begin. Thanks again :)

I'm also curious to know if anyone out there is interested in the result I'm trying to achieve in this thread.

Multiple sources makes it seem more legit to me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gecko702:
this is great news well its not what we expected to be 5.1 update but its something im glad alcatel has actually listened to us especially through that Email that was sent last month hopefully in mind they should release the source code soon or someone to capture the OTA and extract it
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
As mentioned in the root or update thread, the OTA updates contain only patches to the binary code and not full source. It'll have to come from Alcatel.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mk3:
well they sure are taking their sweet time pushing it out, its not hitting mine yet.

how many possible users could they be going out to afterall? its not like this phone went mainstream...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brian117:
It's slowly making its way mainstream. It should release this week. I hope it's not one of those updates that break something when trying to do good.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DonnieDoezoe:
Already had the update last week and the performance is much better now!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] usmcnyc:
Looks like an update is rolling out right now, dated today the 13th....still 5.0.2 unfortunately :(
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Yup - installing right now. Still 5.0.2 ..
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Borghi:
Installing right now
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DonnieDoezoe:
After the update try to clear all all opening apps, you will mention that it's without any lag or stutter
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] enano28:
what version of firmware? 5.0.2-01003?

Thk!!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
I am not sure if it is just me - but at least this part is NOT fixed. clearing open apps still has the same stutter that it had before. I restored the animation scale back to 1x and that has not changed anything. Maybe that is how it is supposed to be.

The app launching appears to have improved *slightly* . Whether double tap is more reliable remains to be seen. The update did not reset my launcher setting i.e. it did not revert to the stock launcher .

Overall - so far , I am not seeing anything worth getting too excited about - Not so far at least.

BTW - just to confirm - I now have Android version = 5.0.2 Kernel version = 3.10.49 Build number = 7SQR-UER0
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] usmcnyc:
Same here, not too much difference noted with this update. Anyone know if Alcatel includes a changelog someplace with these updates?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ItsDon:
I feel differently. This update, so far, is great. The lag I had previously is nearly gone and installing apps is much much faster. DTTW has worked everytime (only tried about 7-8 times so far) unlike previously when it hardly ever worked. I don't notice anything different on the camera but I've only played with it for a short period. I've not used this phone as a daily driver since I got it in May because of the user experience, it just lagged and I hate lag - especially compared to my LG G2. Today however, I put my sim card in and will give it a true test, being the daily driver.

I was going to return it initially but held onto it waiting for an update and glad I did. I simply couldn't understand why this phone was not at least as fast (or faster) than my LG G Pro Or HTC One M7 since both of them are running the Snapdragon 600 (vs 615) and slower GPU. Plus both are also running pretty heavy skins yet both were way faster/smoother than the Idol 3. It had to be software and optimization which seems to be what this update addresses. The screen and speakers on this phone are to die for and I'm glad it's now able to be used effectively. I may think differently in a day or so after a real world test but for now I'm excited about this little guy.
