What made me not sell the Nexus 6, that I got on contract for free, instantly was the fact that the Moto X's performance was just poor. After the 5.1 update I tried to switch back to this phone multiple times but Motorola's software doesn't run smooth. Launcher redraws almost all the time. And that's what makes me skeptical about the 2015 Moto X. The size seems okay. Coming from a 6 inch phone 5.7 is okay and as I have big hands I don't have a problem with this kind of screensize. However I absolutely hate the use of a LCD screen when having a feature like Moto Display. But on the other hand this will get at least rid of the burn in on AMOLED which both my Nexus 6 and Moto X had the first signs of after just a few weeks of usage.

I will probably just look what the price for the phone is here in Germany and then probably sell the N6 if it's worth it.
[X 2014 General] slogar25:
Well as far as software improvements go, Motorola doesn't add much to stock Android other than the Moto enhancements (assist,voice,etc) like other OEM's. Personally Touchwiz, Sense, and LG s skins are a little over the top. Is that what you meant by software improvements?
[X 2014 General] Prash8429:
No no,

I was talking about improvements to the existing moto app. Like adding more commands or making it work even when the phone is in offline mode, something like that :)
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
If they will have more commands ready then they will release the app update through play store, that way previous Moto X versions will also receive the updates.
[P3600 General] Craic Dub:
I received my new P3600 last night and played around with it a little. I installed quite a few apps on to the storage card.

Now, what happens is that when I soft reset the device, it keeps on freezing at the green page saying (Windows Mobile - Direct Push Technology). last night I have seen the little spinning thing, now I dont even see this anymore.

Does anyone have the same problem? I am about to return to the device to the seller but want to make sure that really is a device problem rather then anything else.

Any experience with this?
[P3600 General] tom0_1:
take the manual or use the search for hard reset
[P3600 General] Craic Dub:
well, I keep resetting and eventually the device does start up (out of 10 resets, it works 3 times).

I am wondering though if i should return this one asap. I have had a few devices over the years but never seen a problem like this.

Is resetting a known problem for P3600's?
[P3600 General] Craic Dub:
The error was not the device but one of the applications, I installed.
[P3600 General] NeilM:
Glad you're sorted!

Which app was it- as a warning for other users to avoid?
[P3600 General] nealed:
What was it?
[P3600 General] TehKernelPanic:
Mine has just done it now. Apparently it is usually an application on the device that is causing problems. I would guess something along the lines of a today plug in or similar.

Trinity Rox

I've had my trinity now for about 2 months.

I just did a hard reset using the clear storage option on a WM6 rom I installed. I ran the "miniSD HC v3.1.zip" fix but my 512 card just vanished on boot up. Came back and saw the card, No problems. A word of warning before you start toying with your new Phone. put "PPCPimBackup" on your storage card and backup all your contacts etc. This app is a life saver.

[Moto X Q&A] mcktech:
Hi!

I was searching for this but cant get clear info about it.

I m totally noob in android flashing, etc... I never touch my phone but now the warranty is expired... so i want to root and other stuff, but that's not the reason I'm here....

I have a Moto X 2013 XT 1058

Personal Argentina Kitkat 4.4.4 (212.44.26.ghost_row.Personal.en.AR - KXA21.12-L1.26)

Unrooted - bootloader locked (stock)

I recieved yesterday the OTA to update to Lollipop 5.1. I downloaded and saved for later, but i dont dare to install it, becouse with KK all things going great!.. i use Nova Launcher, Tasker, autovoice, and lots of custom stuff... I dont know what's gonna happend with all that if I update..

But the thing is that i read there's no way to downgrade once you updated to 5.1 (by OTA)

My question is...

What should i do to mantain the possibility of downgrade?

My guess is ..

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. flash 5.1 firmware (can i do this without update the bootloader?? and without wipe user data?, how?)

3. Use the phone, and if i dont like it.. (if the bootloader was not updated) downgrade to KK 4.4.4 again

4. flash 4.4.4.

Is would be a problem if runs 5.1 rom and KK bootloader?...

is possible any of this... without unlock bootloader? (guess not.. but still ask)

any other special procedure or "notes" that i should take care of?

If I root my current rom, can i make an image of the system, and then restore after taking the above mentioned steps?..

(what should i use to do that?)

Thank you very much for helping!! because, I m not going to install OTA update without knowing this things...

P.s. Sorry for my bad english.. , and really sorry if i m posting in wrong way

[Moto X Q&A] BrownDog99:
What I did so I could go back to kit kat was wait for a developer to make a version that doesn't update the bootloader. There is a rom now that I'm running for the xt1053 model on 5,1, that doesn't update the bootloader. I'm in the same boat as you, using xt1058, but mines Rogers. The only thing that doesn't work is speaker phone. There should be a version available soon for our model, so you can wait. Lollipop has its issues, high cell stanby, which can be fixed by turning off carrier internet. If you want to do what I did, so you can go back if wanted is unlock the bootloader, root, flash custom recovery, then flash the xt1053 rom that doesn't update the bootloader. I will post link to rom

May I also suggest flashing xposed module, it is amazing. Then download gravitybox. It makes it so you have most of the features of a custom rom on stock
[Moto X Q&A] ashatter:
According to KidJoe's thread he is referencing, even you unlock the bootloader and successfully turn on your phone after flash the 4.4 SBF. You may experience bugs here and there. In a word, don't do it.
[Moto X Q&A] liveroy:
Buddy, your info is not very accurate, don't care to blame you, but you can't flash gpt or motoboot if you have newer version, the bl just won't let you.

Also I've downgraded 4 Moto X 2013 from 5.1 to 4.4.4 without any issue.

Unless you can somehow prove your info there, better correct it.

Ppl just tend to do stupid things like going 4.4.2 or earlier and update via OTA, which causes the broken bl.Also some get soft bricked coz of not wiping user data....
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
"Buddy"?? I don't know you, so as written, it comes across with a negative connotation. I'm not really sure how you meant it, or what your feelings are there...

But I suggest you step back and read that post (and the thread) a little closer, because the entire point of that is you can't flash an older GPT.BIN or Motoboot.img (or the parts included in motoboot.img), or downgrade them. Read FAQ #1 in that post, that calls out GPT/Motoboot while suggesting not downgrading... as do others, like #16. So maybe I generalized more than you like with the term "downgrade" but most will attempt using RSDlite and NOT edit the XML. Plus skipping parts (using fastboot or editing the XML with RSDLite) while trying to downgrade can cause other issues, so again, downgrading is generally not advised.

As I said in that thread (just maybe not the first post), some have claimed success... and 5.1 to 4.4.4 does appear to be less risky... We're seeing more try 5.1 -> 4.4.4 and posting "it worked," where as with 4.4.4 -> 4.4.2 and 4.4.2 -> lower nearly everyone who attempted had bricked and needed help recovering their phone. And because of the amount of bricks from attempts at downgrading in the past, the MODS would close and delete any posts suggesting downgrading was anything but risky.

In any case, you now have GPT and parts contained in Motoboot (specifically Bootloader, potentially TZ, and other parts) from 5.1 with the rest of 4.4.4 parts. And we've seen some features not working this way (speaker phone, Settings -> Security kicks you out, etc.)

Also in its current state, if your phone prompts you about the 5.1 OTA, and you click the wrong thing and accept it, then as even you mention, taking an OTA could cause you issues. (I also mentioned in that post/thread.)... So you'd also need to take steps to prevent being prompted for the OTA if your downgrade attempt is successful.

Well, I do have a few threads linked in the OP of that thread from people who did try to downgrade and bricked, including some who skipped GPT/MOTOBOOT. So I would hope that counts as proof, or at least sufficient supporting evidence for providing warnings and caution messages if/when suggesting someone else downgrades their phone. And if you search, I'm sure you could find the many 4.4.4 -> 4.4.2 downgrade attempts that resulted in bricks.

Are all the bricks Hard/Solid? No. And I say that in the post and later in that thread.. there are varying degrees, some could be recovered and some couldn't. s5610 has done a lot with helping many who bricked downgrading from 5.1 to 4.4.4 recover.

Funny, I mention to not downgrade then take an OTA as that causes a problem. (faq #1)

So it pretty much looks like you are agreeing with my warnings in that post/thread, so I'm not sure what your problem is? Just that I didn't word it clearly enough? or???

If you have specific points/numbers that you disagree with, please post in that thread, quoting what you think is wrong, what evidence you have that its wrong (other than it works on your phone, please provide me with posts supporting your stance), and I'll be happy to discuss and/or make corrections if I agree with you.
[Moto X Q&A] liveroy:
I won't multi-quote, to reduce size.

You seem very offended, even though I meant exactly the opposite, this was more like creative criticism. That's why I've used "buddy" instead of smth offensive, just fyi.I also said I won't bother to actually blame you for posting info that is not entirely true and many ppl want to downgrade, because the LP build is buggy, the Moto X just doesn't feel right on it.

Actually for the sake of the argument I can do a live session on downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4.4 on Twitch ot Youtube, but if that's the case you'll owe me an apology, which is not my sole intent.

I agree that you have mentioned about gpt and motoboot, but you still strongly advice against downgrade, when that actually is NOT so dangerous if done right and basically it's not very hard to do either.

Also to be honest, use of RDS from users that for no idea what they are doing is probably the biggest problem. While using fastboot is way safer and the way to go.

Anyway, tone down a bit and let's have a healthy conversation, so the users can actually get a grip on the stuff and what is actually possible , while keeping the risk at minimum.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I apologize if you didn't mean offence by it. You've been on line long enough to know that type written communications on these boards can be misunderstood. i.e. you can't hear the inflection in a person's voice, see their body language, so its hard to read some meanings. So I hope you can understand how, not seeing, hearing or knowing you, that calling me "buddy" could be taken in a way you might not have meant. And yeah, some of my frustration may have shown through the words and phrasing I chose when typing because that bothered me.

That being said...

I know why people would want to downgrade (see FAQ #4 in that post)

As for a live session, I'm not sure what that will do... I've already said people can downgrade by skipping parts (i.e. GPT/Motoboot) BUT that it does cause its own issues. We've seen reports of more bugs, and or things not working properly, some can live with those bugs and others can't. And of course people who accidentally took the OTA later usually, but not always, run into problems.

So if that is how you are downgrading, then there is nothing new to show me.

Your post said that you have "downgraded 4 Moto X 2013 from 5.1 to 4.4.4 without any issue." but you haven't said how. Did you skip flashing gpt/motoboot? In my reply to you, I state that you have mixed gpt/motoboot parts on the phone now. In your response, you did not comment. I've addressed your points, albeit with a slightly aggravated tone for which I apologize, so I was hoping that you could respond to them.

As you say... "if you do it right".... Ok, but no one has provided a "right way" that is 100% fool proof and has been 100% safe.

I've said in the past, I don't know everything. I don't claim to be the "end all/be all" source. In a discussion with someone claiming to be from Moto a while back who started a thread saying it was safe to downgrade and it does work (which was later deleted by the MODs because of all the people that jumped into that thread having bricked attempting it).. I said, I don't know how moto expects it should work, I just know based on hanging in this and other forums, of what actually happens. And that is still my position today.

So I don't mind if someone can show me I'm wrong. I welcome it, and appreciate the corrections as I don't want to spread WRONG/BAD info!

If you want to have a discussion, by all means, lets, but please provide a little more explanation around your difference in opinion.
[Moto X Q&A] liveroy:
I might end up writing a how-to sometime this weekend.

I started getting pms on how I did it, so that guide might help.

With that said, I'm gonna work on the guide and post it and maybe get your input on it later on.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Flashing a stock ROM via Odin, with the ROM loaded in the BL slot, should restore your S4. You'll want to check your cable and make sure it's the original, and that it's plugged into the computer, not a hub. Use a different port if necessary.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrclaver:
Would you be so kind to give me a link to a rom you suggest I should try? Because the original ones I downloaded had five different files.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The rom should be only one of the files. The other files are something else.

Generally, you can get stock roms from sammobile. But their download speeds are excruciatingly slow..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrclaver:
Yeah, but which file is necessary for flashing via odin? CP, AP, CSC, BL? AP is for PDA I think.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The .tar.md5 file. Put it into AP to flash.

This was after I tried to flash the ap file in PDA.

And these are the files which were in there:

I was thinking of using antoher usb port maybe? I hope it'd be that easy.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Odin is telling you that you have no PIT partition. That means you'll need to use a PIT file with the 2.4GB MD5 file in AP to flash. The PIT file can be found on the forums, along with instructions for using it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
In 99% of the cases that error is caused by using a "wrong" usb port. Try all the ports on your pc and/or try a different usb cable.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrclaver:
You guys are awesome! It really was a wrong usb port! I tried then with AP in PDA but it wasn't successfull. So I decided to use all four files (AP, CSC, CP and BL). It took more than 10 minutes in odin but then it finally started! Thank you so much! Thread can be closed!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:

[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] kan_ranga:
Could let us know what steps you used to port? Typical culprits are camera, sound and boot.img.

You may want to replace the boot.img with the stock as is to see if it boots up. Steps i would typically follow is

1. just replace boot.img with stock boot

2. If 1 worked then replace other libs without camera files

3. if 2 worked then replace camera lib

4. unpack miui boot.img and replace kernel with stock kernel and fix camera permissions

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
What is freezing exactly? the RUU or the Guru bootloader reset tool?

No problem here, this is the stock recovery.

It doesn't make sense, why would you want to flash the 1.29.401.12 recovery if your phone is rogers?

This is a normal error on older hboot.

Why do you need to access the stock recovery anyway?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue163:
The Guru tool freezes at 0% after selecting to lock and remove tamper flag

I thought that was the correct recovery for the 4.1.2 Rogers rom?

That's a relief!
