[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
While I was on RR, it baffled me that I was not be able to send/receive messages, which was the killer for me. I reverted back to stock because I really didnt want to deal with those issues. Data/wifi worked fine with the method I posted. Flash Resurrection Remix, gapps, then go to mount and check the box next to system. Flash the apn fix provided in the link, then you will need to power off your phone in twrp. What i did was I put the phone into download mode and flashed the derp3 boot image via command prompt on my computer.

Some observations I found:

First boot into the rom somehow I was able to send/receive messages

If I rebooted the rom only once after the first boot, I cannot send or receive messages anymore

Data and wifi worked fine for me the whole time

Signal bars in status bar didnt look out of the ordinary

This problem is why I went back to stock. It was a real hassle for me, especially because I had to do all these steps to get everything working, and even after I did that i still had the sending/receiving messages part and I could not figure out why that was happening.

Bottom line, go ahead and try the method. The apn fix and derp3 img are provided here: http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/or...-g-3rd-gen-t3174926/post64104373#post64104373

If you wanna experiment (like flashing the rom gapps apn fix but not derp3) go ahead, I tried it and it works fine.

The only rom in which everything worked flawless was cm 12.1: http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-moto-g-3rd-gen-t3174926

Hope this helps!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSpeedZ:
Appreciate the quick and detailed response.

That is strange if data was working, texting wasn't.

When texting, did you use the RR text messaging app or a third party texting app? If you were using the RR text messaging app, I wonder if something like Chomp (which has it's own built-in APN stuff) would work - or maybe 8SMS or Textra?

Were you getting 4G speeds when not using WiFi?

I would use the CM 12.1 but I'm a 'dark theme' junky. Have to have all my settings and windows, etc dark mode.

Thanks again for the quick response. :good:
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
No problem man I actually tried to return this phone but couldnt... :p

I used RR's default messaging app and tried hangouts as well. Even a 3rd party app like hangouts gave me the same issue. In terms of Chomp or something like that, no I did not try that. Maybe you try it and tell me if it worked for you.

To answer your question about speeds, my plan was a bit odd. After 3gbs of "highspeed data" any data used after that would be reduced. And oh man it was a pretty drastic reduction in speeds. I used this phone for one month and was on unlimited everything, so yes with the high speed data I was getting 4G. It was consistent and fast after the reduction..

Ahh dark eh? Right in the same boat. On your phone go to this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283828 and grab the updater app

Once you have the app click the three lines in the upper left hand corner, choose themed apps. Then choose Main Apps. This will give you the option to choose individual apps you want blacked out (ex. Chrome, Hangouts, YouTube). For example, if i want to install the blacked out chrome I need to uninstall the default app from the play store first in order for it to work. I did this on my G2 running Marshmallow, so just choose the desired app and install it as an apk (in some cases you will need to flash it).

I will let you play around with that if you are interested. A great theme that comes with RR is their Pitch Black theme which you can find on the Play Store. This theme literally makes everything black and red, which is my personal favorite. :good:
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSpeedZ:
I actually don't have the Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen 2015 phone - yet. Just doing my homework before purchasing - which may be sooner then I expect as my current phone (ZTE Supreme) isn't getting any data at all. :confused: That just started within the last 30 minutes or so.

When/If I do get the Moto G, I will be trying the Resurrection Remix Rom. I had the TeamBlackOut app installed on my ZTE Supreme, however, I think they quit supporting the app at the first of the year. Whenever I would updates, no updates would be listed. Could have been that the site was down. Never did go back and check.

BTW, why couldn't you return the phone? Virgin Mobile has a new policy of 'no questions asked' when a customer wants to return a phone.

------------
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
The blacked out apps are pretty awesome, even though it isnt supported anymore..

I bought the Moto G3 at a Best Buy store at the mall, and they only gave me a 14 day return policy. I unfortunately went over the 14 day period and could not return it. I am now trying to either sell it or just give it to someone for a present. Its a great all around phone, but it seriously got slow at times which I did not like at all. It is waterproof too! That's a plus.

Compared to my LG G2, the phone was a step back for me. It is a mid level phone, not a flagship. It got quite frustrating, but that's only my opinion.

i tried to return it for that reason and am stuck with it at the moment.. :p
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSpeedZ:
That stinks that Best Buy won't take it back.

I agree, Blacked out apps are awesome. It's too bad nobody wants to keep them up.

Do you have an eBay account? You should be able to sell that moto 3G easily on eBay And probably get most of your money back.

Thanks for the input and advice.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
No, but I can make one. And your welcome. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me again. Good day!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSpeedZ:
Depending on the condition of your phone and the price, I may be interested in purchasing. I've purchased used phones in the past, however, I typically don't purchase unless the phone is in excellent to like new condition.

Virgin Mobile's current price on the Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation is $99.99. Beings that your phone's bootloader is already unlocked and you have tested Resurrection Remix and CM 12.1, might be a good thing for me to consider - Especially if you had a descent sized SD Card with a nandroid backup of Resurrection Remix on the card to restore after activating the phone.

------------
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
While it is a budget phone, it may not offer the most high end specs. Its a solid buy for anyone who needs a decent working phone. Now with that said, unlocking the bootloader does take some work via command prompt and research. It's not one of those phones where you can just download an app and you would instantly have root. But, it seems like you are interested in unlocking the bootloader, and I can help you with that.

The major downside with this phone that I noticed was mine only had 8GB of storage, I could barley hold anything on there.

It also had 1GB of ram, so that may be the reason why performance wasn't as buttery smooth at times.

Could you link me to the phone you were thinking of buying? I can see if it is the same one I bought. I would recommend buying the 16GB with 2GB of ram variant if you are wanting to keep this phone for the long run.

And yes always make a backup when installing any rom in case something bad goes wrong. You will then have your old rom to go back to in case you run into that kind of situation.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSpeedZ:
My apologies. I assumed the phone you had already had the bootloader unlocked and was rooted.

In any case, the Moto G I was considering was on Virgin Mobiles website. URL: http://www.virginmobileusa.com/shop/cell-phones/moto-g-3rd-generation-phone/features/

I have unlocked bootloaders and rooted many phones including the Moto G 3rd Generation. My personal feeling on phones is not to spend a lot on them as my occupation can be hard on phones (computer/network engineer) and a good but inexpensive phone is much easier on the wallet if it needs to be replaced.

------------
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
It's all good. Looks like thats the same phone i bought before.

Good thinking, low budget phones are more friendly and even if you need to replace it, it wouldn't be much of a hassle.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgao007:
How exactly do you root the Virgin Mobile Moto G3? I can't find any instructions.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topmouse:
Not a guide by any means but the general outline is as follows:

0. Prepare for bootloader unlock by enabling OEM unlock in Developer Options.

1. Unlock bootloader, here's the link for the 2nd Gen of Moto G but it's the same for 3rd Gen.

2. Flash TWRP

3. Install SuperSU with TWRP

Remember to back up everything and remember that unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty.

Good luck!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Rooting the VM Moto G is the same as other Moto G 2015 models. Be aware when flashing SuperSU you MUST use the manual systemless method or it will soft brick. The unlock/root/Xposed thread has the specific methods.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgao007:
Thanks! For some reason, I was under the impression that the Virgin Mobile process would be different from the regular Moto G3.

Thanks for the tips!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSpeedZ:
I know this is an older thread, however, I finally got around to purchasing a Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen from Virgin Mobile.

I had a ZTE Supreme - which actually is a very good phone - especially since it has two radios so one can use data and voice at the same time (which the Motorola Moto G doesn't have :p). Need that data/voice feature to do my job.

Anyway, I had to go with a new phone due to the ZTE Supreme tried to escape to the Pacific via the toilet :crying:

You were so helpful before, thought I would ask additional question about your experience with CM12.1.

Everything worked well (couldn't find a download for Derp3 image so just flashed ROM image, Gapps and APN Fix) with CM12.1 with one exception - couldn't send text messages. Did some research and found that to be a relatively common problem on CM12.1 on any phone/carrier.

Was curious if you had that problem and if so, how did you fix it? Really need to find a custom ROM for this phone other than stock. The stock Lollipop has way too much white backgrounds to be useful for me.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I just wanted to confirm, I can flash this over Graffix's H9 GPE rom to update my phone?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Yes, but to be fair I made that H9 build.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zabalba:
Thanks for confirming, and my apologies. I missed adding the word "thread".

Those of us that still rock this HTC One appreciate the time you take to update our devices.

Does the stock rooter rom work ok on sense m8s? I am S-on and don't want to S-off.
[One (M8) Android Development] garekinokami:
Says it right there if you click the button for the stock rom.

"You do not need to be S-Off just make sure you are on the latest Sense firmware for your device and a custom recovery"

Click the link, check the names. The first in the list is HTC_One_M8_Lollipop_5.1_LMY47O.H10.zip -- that's the one you want to download and flash.
[One (M8) Android Development] tlazar4:
Yes i have seen that, but in other XDA threads are talking about different partition sizes, some also say that stock android runs very laggy on sense m8 so i wonder if someone has tried it already?
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
No...

All ROMs made for M8 won't work on M8S

M8S is completely different device

Thank you [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] for opening this thread and continueing with your work on GPE!

Just a question, is it better to be on GOOGL001 cid than on 11111111 cid before RUU-ing GPE RUU?

And is it possible that you add your steps for converting back to SENSE from GPE in the OP? The "converting back" thread is old and very confusing. That's the only reason I'm holding back not to RUU GPE.
[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
I just want to be sure. If I'm updating from H9 to H10 no wiping is needed? No bugs will occur?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
The partition size doesn't matter, you actually probably want to stay on a sense partition since its larger especially if you want to add mods. And the rest of the firmware doesn't matter either, least from my experience. I still use the sense hboot to keep sense partition while I do use the rest of the GPE firmware I never noticed any difference to be honest.

If you want to convert and take OTA's then I would use the Google cid but if I remember correctly super cid number is in the OTA script so it should also work. If you don't care about the OTA as much I wouldn't convert. In the firmware section there is GPE firmware without hboot that will retain sense partition while utilizing the rest of the firmware.

I'll add steps for returning to sense in the op...

Obviously make a backup first, but yes you'll be fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] gustav30:
So glad you started this thread, as I literally converted to GPE just a few days ago. Have been hemming and hawing about it for about a month and finally took the plunge. Forgot how fast and fluid the M8 can be!

While I'm running the latest H10 release, I am thinking of going back to KitKat GPE. Reasons are just personal, kind of just like the interface a bit more. My question is to stop the OTA to upgrade after I go back and flush the KitKat RUU. What are the best ways to stop the lollipop ota notification without causing wakelocks? Does autostarts still do the job in blocking the google play service receivers? I know I want to truly stop the OTA, and not just disable the notification as i know that will still cause wakelocks. Any advice would be appreciated.
[One (M8) Android Development] blackbuffalo:
Set DPI to 430

Use Nova Laumcher

Reduced navigation size to 32

Enable AmbientDisplay

Dont used Xposed, this is all I used on this rom. Fast as hells

Love this GPE rom - Only one GPE I used. Sense always LeeDroid rom

Sitback and wait M come to our M8 :good:

[One (M8) Android Development] lesterinidad:
i did copy the boot.img and system.img to my Downloads folder, i dont have SD card so I think that's my internal?? or i copied the files in the wrong folder? I flashed the Install_M, before that I did full wipe and after I flashed the install_M, im stuck now at the HTC white/green screen. please helppp :(
[One (M8) Android Development] blackbuffalo:
Without root, booted
[One (M8) Android Development] SiK TL:
You need the place the files in the root section of your internal SD. Not the download folder. So basically in that same section but outside the download folder.
[One (M8) Android Development] blackbuffalo:
Copy 2 files in to root of Sdcard (/sdcard/system.img and sdcard/boot.img) not in Download folder. I mean it is your internal sdcard then flash zip file provider from dev

PS: DON'T try root, I'm bootloop when try to root (SuperSu 2.52 and Busybox)

Try without root
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Do as the others said but if you are stuck on HTC boot splash then hold down all POWER, Vol UP & Vol DOWN at the same time until your phone turns off and quickly let go and press Vol Down & Power until bootloader comes up, then you should be able to go into TWRP and move the files, or mount your phone into a PC while in TWRP to move the files and try again.

I didn't have any problems with the RUU and booting...

Though I did stupid stuff with my SD card, and now I'm working to back it up before I format it to "fix it"... 30+ gb of data takes a while to copy unfortunately... :(

Seems like thus far the Nexus forums are using a modified kernel to achieve root... *shrug*...
[One (M8) Android Development] oopstairs:
How long did it takes to boot guys?
[One (M8) Android Development] CirgioD:
I'd say 10 min?

Where is the flashable zip? I can't do an ruu right now.
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
was a ~ 5-10 minute boot... wasn't that long... similar to if you wiped cache on 5.1...

And I was wrong... I didn't corrupt my sdcard... seems that Android 6 treats SDcards a bit differently is all...

Quick question, if I use this ruu and it updates the bootloader to mm, can i reflash lollipop roms? I'm kinda new to htc, last phone was a motorola and if you flashed the lollipop stock rom and it updated the bootloader then you couldn't go back to any kitkat rom.

I would say no, but I'm as lost with all of this as you are. I have no idea what mods will work with this 6.0 ROM... I use to be a bigger part of the community, but school has me busy. I haven't spent a lot of time playing around with my phone
