I installed Marshmallow update, unlocked the bootloader and rooted my X Play a few months ago and now being prompted to install what i've found out is the 'October update'. This is my wife's phone so REALLY dont want to brick it. What do i have to do to install this without a problem?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prosis:
Hello

Since the latest update to my phone, Moto X Play, I'm unable to lock my bootloader because everything I try to flash returns preflash validation failed. I've used TWRP to empty everyting including system. So that means the update affected some other part of the phone.

Do we know which part and where? Is it possible to remove whatever it did and make it so I can flash my ROM again?

I don't know what I can do to lock my bootloader again and get my phone back to the way it was before this update.

Thank you
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
OTA update usually does update boot loader if newer is available, and afterwards blocks downgrade of bootloader and OS. My guess is that you should try to flash the current OS to be able lock boot loader, not an older one.

Is there a special reason why you want to do the locking? Usually it makes no sense as long as you don't give the hardware to other persons which you don't trust.

Before trying clearing anything you should be sure to have a backup of your imei data (PDS partition iirc). All the other partitions can be copied from somewhere, but the imei data is unique. If you don't have a backup, it is lost when cleared and you lose phone functionality.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prosis:
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.

I can't flash the current ROM as it is not available online yet. But I wanted to lock it because, when I find a ROM online, it is my way of knowing it's a signed ROM by Motorola. But other than that it's just me being a bit weird and having the impression that my phone will somehow function better :p

I've tried cm 12 ,14 asop extended, ressurection remix 7.1.1 lineage os and spectrum but none of them work flawlessly. I keep having random reboots but most specifically reboots during GPS navigation. What could be the problem?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
[MENTION=6472708]CasinoReno[/MENTION] I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 where the power button was broken. It showed similar things. It may depend on some temperature that would explain why it is more frequent when navigating.

It still may be caused by some software problem, never used anything but stock, but I'm afraid this sounds unlikely to me.

Anyway you need to determine the exact circumstance when it occurs. I had an X Play where the Micro USB was bad. Touching the power connector the flow changed! Maybe your problem is similar. Do you charge while navigating?

Can you use cool tool to display some temperature?

Can you measure the current flow using Ampere?

I have tried it charged and not charged and still the same issue. I went back to the stock firmware with root. And I haven't had any problems since. But the ROM that worked nearly perfect for me was the Orion marshmallow ROM. Then one day after like a month while I was driving with GPS navigation it restarted the entered a bootloop. Luckily I knew where I was going.

I feel like all that trouble shooting isn't worth the time and energy. After trying a bunch of them moto x play stock firmware is the best and Its reliable. With custom ROMs the thought that my phone can reboot at any second is stressful especially when you do alot of driving.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jfelips:
I read some questions here but didn't get my answer so I'm gonna ask...

My phone is rooted, has Xposed framework and I get ota updates (i got one security update so far and I haven't installed). Will I be able to install this update ? And when Nougat comes, Will I be able?( Even if I lose root)

If I don't... I have a nandroid backup before root and Xposed, if I restore to it, will I be able to get upgrades ?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
You may try, but I'm quite sure OTA update with xposed can't work. It will do no harm to try. Probably it will report that update is not done and revert to previous state. Worst case should be a non booting device where you restore Nandroid and are fine.

Restoring Nandroid of state before root and using xposed should help. If you didn't flash the recovery, but only booted it. Otherwise you need to flash/restore original recovery too before OTA is supposed to work.

Please tell your experiences. These assumptions are given without test. I'd like to do similar things at a later time. ;)

hi, i speak spanish, so maybe my english is not so good.

Well i need your help, i root my device, but i lost my screen rotation, after had test so many rom's i realized that it never would be fixed, so i thought... what if i unroot the device, lock the bootloader again, and install the stock rom.

so i downloaded the stock, wiped the phone, plugged it in the computer, and made all these steps:

mfastboot.exe oem lock begin

mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot.exe erase modemst1

mfastboot.exe erase modemst2

mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot.exe erase cache

mfastboot.exe erase userdata

mfastboot.exe oem lock

but i had some problems, like, when i put these command "mfastboot.exe oem lock begin" the bootloader don't let me do anything.

if i don't write that code, it let me keep going, but this code"mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin" send a purple message, i don't remember what it said but, i'm really sure that it maybe doesn't work, all the other codes, actually worked fine.

the thing is that the rotaition didn't worked, till yesterday. now it works pretty good, like in the old days, but when my phone get discharge, and turned off, i plugged the charger, and wait for the battery screen..., buttt, surpriseeee!, there is just a black screen, and if i touch the power button, it get's me into the bootloader...

Please, help, how can i fix this?

Restarting issue!

Hi guys!

I've been having this issue for the last month now. My Moto X play keeps restarting by itself. I could be typing something on Twitter or scrolling through chrome or my pictures and it would just freeze for 2 seconds and then reboot. It also doesn't reboot successfully on the first go. It reboots as far as the M logo first, stays there for about 20 secs then goes black and reboots again which results in a successful reboot. It's ALWAYS on the second reboot. I have done a factory reset and it started again a few days. It seems to be somewhat random but I notice it happens frequently at night-time. I don't know what it could be. I don't think it's an app due to the double reboot issue, doesn't seem like a normal app would have enough permissions to cause that kind of response. Also getting rid of apps and reinstalling them one by one won't help much because the reboots can happen once one day and then not happen again for another 2 days. I've tried using just data and no WiFi and it still happens. I have no other issues with it at all. The only time it freezes is when it's about to reboot itself and that's just for a few seconds.

Thank you for your help.

If you want to stay on custom rom and with battery backup, believe me you should install Lineage OS 14.1.2 on your moto x Play... I too tried Aosp extended, viper os, etc their status being stable though they aren't that stable as of Lineage OS in my experience. They cause my x play to sudden shut down and battery drain rapidly. I'm on Lineage OS nightly build 14.1.2. with open gapps package installed now the phone performs so fluid i can't even believe it, and the battery backup is truly insane now after installing Lineage OS even it has improved than that was on stock rom. To root your phone try magisk it is new and very great stuff you'll ever find on Android to try mods

Hello there,

I just registered as I'm looking to install a custom ROM on my Moto X Play, but since this is my first attempt I do have a few questions... I have done some research but there are so many technical terms that I'm mixing things up, and I'd like some assistance to get this done right. I apologize in advance if this is not the right place for asking this type of questions.

Let's start with my device info:

Moto X Play

Hardware SKU: XT1562

Android: 5.1.1

I should probably mention is a new phone and I haven't touched anything yet, not even updated Android through the system update option (which is available and asking me to do so), and that's my first question: should I update the Android version if I want to install a custom ROM like LineageOS or ViperOS? I'd also like to know which of these two is more stable/reliable in this device as I've read some posts from users reporting issues (although I guess this is expected). Also, I found in this forum that some people installed "Squid Kernel" which I assume is a custom kernel, but I'm not sure if this is optional and if so, what are the benefits?

And I think this is good enough for starters :D

Thank you all in advance!

Cheers!

My first ROM

Hello again,

So I went ahead and try to install Lineage OS 14.1 and finally managed to do so successfully!

I had a small problem with the recovery menu right before I flashed LineageOS, as it wouldn't load and appeared a message that said "No Command" but I have no idea what I did wrong or what may cause that. I worked around that by flashing a previous version of the TWRP, then everything went fine. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else!

And now that this is done I have a couple of questions.... If I want to install a different ROM, do I need to follow the same steps? The instructions for LOS were very clear on their website but I'm just not sure if it works the same way for other ROMS. Another question, I've noticed that after starting the phone it already has around 8 GB used (out of 16 GB). Is this normal?

Okay so I'm having a SERIOUS issue with my moto x play and i need help.

My phone is HARD BRICKED and i have been trying to unbrick it since a month but I've been failing each time.

Reason for hard brick:- So everything was cool with my mobile.. I had unlocked the bootloader 6-7 months before hard bricking and had twrp recovery and was using AICP ROM...but then i thought of switching to CM14 ROM. I successfully flashed it (both ROM and G-Apps) and I started using it. But then i noticed that it didn't had VOLTE..so I read a forum and it came to know that one has to flash the CM14 Firmware. I downloaded the firmware and flashed it from the TWRP, i clicked on Reboot, and baam! My phone got hard bricked.

And I'm sure there's a solution because my phone is GETTING DETECTED on computer something as "BULK"...and after flashing the Qualcomm driver, it is getting recognised as "HS-QUALCOMM-2009". (I'm not precise about the name).

Please help.
