Some Motorola phones are just demonically possessed and exhibit this behavior. My girlfriend had a Mini that did it; so did my first Turbo.

Return it for a warranty replacement. Exorcism is not possible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
I resurrected my S2 as a dash cam a while ago running Neat ROM with Ulysses, GPS Locker and AutoGuard. Recently, it has stared to become unstable and restarting regularly, video files just aren't playable suddenly, and the GPS doesn't lock.

I'd like to know what would be the best no frills ROM for the job that perhaps offers a built in landscape/car mode home screen.

With regard to unplayable videos - In the list there are playable ones, then after a certain point, the rest are not and I have no idea why. I have tried MPEG4 and H264.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
BUMP

Can anyone suggest a nice lean no frills ROM best suited toS2 as a dash cam?

Any suggestions?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 92GTA:
I have a CDMA HTC phone, the HTC Mogul. Now that HTC has released the first official ROM for it, I'm looking to start making custom ROM's.

What ROM cooking application is the best currently available that will work for CDMA ROM's? The HTC TyTn/Hermes is the closet GSM phone to the CDMA Mogul/Titan.

Also, what is the best .cab editor out there? I remember a couple years I ago I had a neat little proggy that let me extract them, replace any files I wanted in them, and the it re-cab'd them for me. I can't remember what the heck it was though, lol!?

Thanks! I already read the Wiki and all I could find was something for making WM5 ROM's and another one for HTC Wallaby ROM's. I couldn't find anything for WM6 ROM cooking that I could see. Please enlighten me :)

EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm Windows only. I have no Linux/Unix machines available. So maybe I can't do the ROM stuff at all?

[X 2014 General] beaups:
The testing I did was done using KingRoot for temproot. Your mileage may very, but for the time being you need "some" form of root or temproot. If you have root via MoFo, that is fine too.

Short version: Does anyone have a link to the Verizon XT1096 4.4.4 FXZ file? Please.

Long version:

The past 24 hours has seen it's highs and lows. I had a Moto X 2014 sitting new in box since last year. I purchased it and put it away just in case a bootloader unlock was released. So the "high" is.... my bootloader is unlocked and I WAS good to go. Thanks jcase and team!!!!

The low is, I made a bonehead move in TWRP and now have no OS installed and had not made a backup to restore. Like I said..... bonehead move. I believe the only way to recover is via an FXZ file but I can't find one. I did find an XML file of 4.4.4 but I don't believe that helps me. It opens up like a ZIP file. So can anyone guide me to an FXZ or help with how to use the XML file.

Thanks all.

You can try kingroot to get root but you need root to use sunshine. There is a thread in the Original Development forum.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Just flash the 5.0 fxz. Your bootloader is unlocked so you can flash anything. There is a link to it in my Noob Guide for MoFo on General.

Root Junky has the 4.4.4 firmware here:

http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Moto X 2014&folder=Official Firmware
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
I got a Verizon version, it was on 4.4.4, I used mofo to root it and then sunshine to unlock the bootloader, it cost money to do both things but was worth it, the stock firmware takes up too much storage space on a 16gb device.

Is it safe to flash this device from 5.x back to 4.x? I remembered with the original Moto X people flashed 4.4 to 4.2 and when they receive the OTA it hard bricked the device.
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
No it is not safe to downgrade, it can cause bricks with OTA.
[X 2014 General] GatorsUF:
I'm on a 5.1 mofo img right now. I am unlocked and rooted, but my current "ROM" is giving me issues. What is the best way to stabilize it? Since I already have the 5.0 bootloader on my device and I am must downgrading the system and other partitions, is it ok to downgrade back to stock and go for the 5.1 OTA? I'd like to have the right bootloader if I am going to run 5.1.
[X 2014 General] slogar25:
I'm pretty sure if you have the 5.0 fxz you can fastboot flash that or use rsdlite to get you back to the official firmware, then take the ota to get to the official 5.1. Because your bootloader is unlocked it will always be unlocked from now on
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
If the bootloader is unlocked, you can downgrade everything but the BL and PT, which btw despite the histrionics that go on on the MX13 forum, is safe to do for the MX13, too. HOWEVER - once you do that YOU CANNOT TAKE AN OTA!!!! Unfortunately, the OTA scripts are not coded well. They look to the system version and then will run w/o checking the bootloader version. So if you downgrade /system but not the BL and PT, the OTA will run and attempt to patch the BL as if it were an earlier version. Then you brick.

You simply cannot downgrade the BL or PT - it will either fail to flash or brick. There are rare exceptions to this notably soak version BL and PT - many times you can safely downgrade those and then take an OTA which makes sense.

If you are going to downgrade the system, kernel, recovery and radios, you need to remove or freeze the Motorola OTA app so that you don't accidentally take an OTA after downgrading your system.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

You can flash completely back to stock 5.0 for XT1096 - recovery, system, kernel/ramdisk, logo, modem, basebands and then connect to Motorola Device Manager and see if that will update you to 5.1 If not, you can take the 5.1 OTA. Since you never upgraded your BL or PT, those are still on 5.0 and don't need to be flashed.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

I assume this is true too but now that I am thinking about it, I don't know how Sunshine works. Motorola has never attempted to relock bootloaders with OTAs though.
[X 2014 General] GatorsUF:
When can we expect working ROMs for our VZW devices? Certainly appreciative of all the progress made towards this possibility.

Are 1096 ROMs possible now (with working cellular/data connections) and there just isn't any interest from Devs to make such a ROM?

Are there issues that need to be resolved before a Dev can make a 1096 ROM?

Nice, that's all I wanted to know. If it was a case of needing to do some extra work to get it going or if it was just a lack of interest in creating a 1096 version of ROMs. Sounds like the former is true.

Try "mofo", it worked for me with KitKat, but there are 5.1 firmware now so it should work, ask the dev. But you still have to wait for Sunshine to work with 5.1 to unlock the bootloader.

Mofo does not support 5.1 bootloader.
[X 2014 General] tyleras3:
I'm also on a 5.1 mofo image w/ xposed. Did you flash a stock 5.1 or 5.0 img before using Sunshine? Or did you just stay on the 5.1 xposed img?
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
MoFo DOES NOT WORK if you have taken the 5.1 OTA and are on the 5.1 bootloader!!!!! And the MoFo dev doesn't answer questions like that - it is clear from the MoFo thread OP that it will not work if you are on the 5.1 bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Correct - once you have taken the 5.1 OTA, you cannot downgrade the bootloader and partition table to 5.0. The flash will either fail or you will brick.
[X 2014 General] jcase:
SunShine works fine on the 5.1 bootlaoder.
[X 2014 General] darknessrise1234:
I know the bootloader can not be downgraded. I attempted flashing the system image back to get a root exploit but the sig checks prevented.

Hmm, aren't the sig checks in gpt.bin? Is it safe to flash an older gpt.bin then the corresponding system images? as long as I don't flash motoboot, of course?
[X 2014 General] GatorsUF:
I used sunshine while I was on a 5.1 Mofo IMG with the 5.0 bootloader. I had some issues which were not related to sunshine or mofo, but I decided to flash the stock 5.0 system files and since I was on the 5.0 bootloader already this wasn't an issue. Once on 5.1 (with an unlocked bootloader thanks to sunshine) I took the 5.1 OTA and I am currently on the stock 5.1 OTA with root, xposed and tether.

While this is amazing and likely true, the problem is XT1096 and XT1097 cannot root their phones on that bootloader thus sunshine is no help unfortunately. Not that I am telling you anything you don't already know. Thanks for all you do for the community Jcase! You the real MVP (and beaups)!

No. It is never safe to try to have a bootloader partition table version mismatch. Anyhow, I think it would fail.

Because the chinese version didn't get patched for the vulnerability that kingroot uses.

Is this correct? Am I missing steps, adding unnecessary ones? Any and all help is great appreciated. Thanks.

If you are on 5.1 it does not work for verizon nor at&t. If you have 5.0 or 4.4.4 it works. After you use it to unlock your bootloader in 4.4.4 or 5.0 then you can upgrade to 5.1 and it remains unlocked. Hopefully nobody does the unthinkable and relocks it after the 5.1 upgrade, lol.

You must speak in english on xda. But you can put a translation after the english. No you can't go back to 5.0 or 4.4.4 because the bootloader is locked. There is no way for you to root or unlock the bootloader on 5.1.

Tienes que hablar en inglés en xda. Pero puedes poner una traducción después del inglés. No se puede volver a 5.0 o 4.4.4 porque el bootloader es bloqueado. No hay forma para rootear ni desbloquear el bootloader si tienes 5.1. Lo siento.
[X 2014 General] BoulderGeek:
I'm sorry, i didn't mean to confuse anyone. My 2014 Moto X came with 4.4.4 and i kept delaying the 5.1 system update until i had a solution to root and bootloader.

In another thread, i got info on options for the XT1096, the model I have. I would like to flash it to a Pure or AT&T ROM if possible. I got the APN setup with an AT&T LTE-capable nano-SIM. The phone gets 3G just fine, 3Mbit at home. We shall see if LTE ever clicks on in my area.

The phone is for my girlfriend, and she isn't a technical user. It is a major step up from her iPhone 4S with dead WiFi and BT chips. But, as a systems administrator, I want to optimize it to be the best that it can be, even if it is performing out of specification on AT&T.

Sunshine can support that device. You'll need to get root first with moforoot or kingroot.
