Yeah there is a custom rom for the z2 too which supports a visualizer for the lockscreen but I prefer stock roms...
[Moto X Q&A] MotorolaUser1:
[HELP]

I have a Motorola Moto X (1st Gen) and was with the unlocked Bootloader, but came back to Android 4.4.4 and I decided to go for Android 5.1 (installed by the Recovery) and gave success.

But the problem when rebooted the phone had a problem, he "jumped" to the Bootloader with the messages in black line:

"downgraded security version gpt_main update version failed

Failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35

CID Read Failure

Invalid CID status 0x69

Customerid status error. Contact Dealer: 0xdead

Fastboot Reason: Invalid CID. "

Before the Bootloader was unlocked after this error is blocked (status code: 0). I tried to reinstall the Android for Fastboot and RSD Lite but gives error that the Bootloader to be blocked, I tried to unlock but gives error too.

Bootloader version: 30.BE (5.1)

PLEASE HELP ME.

If I erred some Word, correct me. I am Brazillian. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerber:
Thats the problem...Android Device Manager is useless cuz there is already a pattern...I tried almost 100 times and there is no "forgot your password?" option...I need at least do a copy of my pictures.

Is there any solution to this? I feel like a real idiot...I was trying a different pattern and I forgot It...I cant believe it...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
I think there's a file not sure if it is directly under /data/system or one of it's sub directories, but basically what I did was to boot to TWRP , use the built it file manager and delete that file. I could then access my phone. I will search maybe I kept the file name somewhere.

EDIT:

Just remove this file /data/system/gesture.key

and reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerber:
How I do that? my phone is not rooted, the bootloader is locked and debugging mode is off :S
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
That could be a problem. I think that it might be done using adb but not sure if it can be done without root/bootloader secured
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
If cracking an Android device were as easy as deleting a file then I doubt that there's much value in any security on a device at all, no?

Surely this has to be a reinstall of the ROM...? Maybe with no-wipe to preserve the data?

Genuine question - I don't know for sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
Testing it would be really easy. just set a pattern and then delete that file.

Lets us know is it is that easy to hack it or not.

Since obviously you know better, share your findings with us.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
The phone has to have an unlocked bootloader and twrp installed, so you already compromised its security yourself. You could relock the bootloader, flash a stock recovery and encrypt the phone, that would solve the issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
"Since obviously you know better, share your findings with us."

Look, guy, just because you're a senior member there's no need to be offensively sarcastic.

Maybe you didn't get as far as my last comment: "Genuine question - I don't know for sure."
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
Not being Sarcastic at all. Making a point. If you got offended, sorry about that.

I posted what I have , after testing it myself. Had the same issue on Lollipop.

Further more, I will share another piece of Info in here.

When You are able to access any Solaris/Linux server using a console , and boot it from DVD, you can simply edit the /etc/shadow file and reset even the root password. Does that mean Unix/Linux aren't secure OS's ?

When you have access to OS level files you can practically hack every OS.

Same goes here. When you have unlock bootloader and modified recovery you can access system files that otherwise would be inaccessible. if he can have access to that file and remove it, he will gain access to his system.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerber:
Well, I tried everything that I could because my phone is no rooted, and the bootloader is locked, plus, the debugging mode is off too... so I was close to give up, BUT finally I remembered that my phone was connected to Airdroid!; if Airdroid is connected to the phone It can bypass the lockscreen and you can access to the internal memory anyways with the Airdroid website!, so I did a full backup of all my pictures and then I did a factory reset!, the copy was a kinda slow but I didn't care of course!. What a relief!!!

So, I really recommend use Airdroid (and have the app connected of course), it saved my life!, I was really frustrated about this, I cant believe Google doesnt provide the old way the restore the pattern like in Kitkat and Jelly Bean.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibromish:
It worked like a charm!

I have a fingerprint enabled phone. forgot my pattern, followed your suggestion and presented in my phone are data/system/gesture.password.key and gesture.pattern.key so I deleted the pattern.key (guided by forgotten pattern) I rebooted and my apps were optimized and voila the phone is unlocked.

However, I tried accessing the fingerprint menu on my phone but refused access. I then used root explorer, browse to aforementioned location, copied and renamed gesture.password.key to gesture.pattern.key as it was before deletion.

went back to the security setting of my phone, setup pin option (scared of forgetting the pattern again) and phone screen locked. I try using my fingerprint to unlock (which I am accustomed to) and voila! it says pin required for additional security. entered Pin and the fingerprint menu became functional again and all previously stored fingerprints remained unaltered....QED

Hello, my flipcover clock has changed from analog to digital, i dont know how,

i need changed it back to analog, but i dont know how.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usman farhat:
I just switched to S4 from a Stock android based Motorola phone. In the previous phone having KitKat, I always dismissed all dialogs by touching outside the dialogs in the empty shadowed areas. But since I switched to the S4, which has Lollipop, I see that I cannot dismiss dialogs anymore this way. I need to press the back button for this purpose.

Here's how you can also reproduce the issue:

Go to a conversation in Hangouts, long-press a message, this dialog can be dismissed by clicking an area outside the dialog. Now click options>delete and then this new popup/dialog cannot be dismissed in the similar way. This happens in almost all apps that I cannot simply dismiss the dialogs. Another place where I CAN dismiss it is the wifi details dialog.

Is this a feature or a bug? I have hard-reset my phone already and it started from the very first phone setup phase.
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
For all the music enthosiasts and audiophiles I am starting a thread about this amazing mod thanks to Ael kernel 2.8 from Friedrich and co/B].

Andreilux sound has been known for the galaxy S3 which made it from pretty bad to amazing sound.

The galaxy S6 has a good wolfson dac but was very poorly optimized by samsung, this mod really makes your music back to life!

I'm gonna share you guys my settings and small tutorial how to use it:

What you need is:

- Andreilux mod, Flash hacker kernel

- Vipermod (for me personally I only use it for adding more bass, which is incredible combo!)

- Download synapse app from playstore

Personal Eargasm Settings: (keep in mind this is personal, it can differ alot from headset to headset). I also like warm mid's

MAIN EQUALIZER through Synapse => Audio

Band 1 gain: +12db

Band 2 gain: +8db

Band 3 gain: +7db

Band 4 gain: +1db

Band 5 gain: +2db

Band 6 gain: +1db

Band 7 gain: +1db

Band 8 gain: leave it 0

Viper4android:

- Go to options => Ui setting => Set to expert

- Check Enable V4A-FX powered on

- Dont check firequalizer you dont need it and imo it loses some quality when using it.

- Enable VIPER bass: Bass mode natural, Bass Frequency 50hz,

- Bass boost 16.3 HZ => You chose your own it will vary from headphone to headphone, I need alot of bass to compensate my inears I used.

I recommend try these settings with instrumental genres like rock or metal.

Please share your own results if you found better/other ones!

Thanks to [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION], [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION], [MENTION=7014207]RJTBVK[/MENTION], [MENTION=4587002]Quintz[/MENTION] (info), [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] (Weta rom) and many other I probably forgot to make this possibe :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] mauley:
I can only find AEL Kernel 2.5. Where did you get 2.8 from and is that for only the Edge or is it also for the flat S6?
[Galaxy S6 General] thereassaad:
It's there on echoe forum mate Googled & u will find it
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Kernel is multivariant so it works for both versions g925 and g920. You can download latest kernel easely via the echoe creations app on playstore :)
[Galaxy S6 General] mauley:
I searched their forum but could only find version 2.5. I think someone else said that you have to register on their forum to get it. Thanks [MENTION=4122024]jody2k[/MENTION]

EDIT: Found it! Also v2.9 was released today. Testing it with your config on Synapse.
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Friedrich give public release of AEL 2.9 also, so its not mandatory to buy the app but it would def help him their monthly expenses of having the forum
[Galaxy S6 General] mauley:
I bought it without hesitation as I like to support those who give their time and efforts to our community :)
[Galaxy S6 General] AndreiLux:
I only created the sound interface so people would stop asking for it. The only good thing about it is to be able to tune your left/right equalizer channels differently. Either use the hardware controls alone or keep with Samsung's Adapt Sound.

Frankly a lot of people here are having a lot of placebo - going through the Adapt Sound calibration and enabling the UHQ upsampler will be enough for 95% of the people.
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Samsung adapt sound is just horrible imo why would you ever recommend that? Maybe it was an unwilling effect of you but using hardware equalizer is giving much more warmth and "real sound" control directly from the audio chip without any loss of other frequencies when boosting bass and mid's. You should try yourself my friend youll see its not placebo at all.

Damn so many placebo's then past 3/4 years ^^
[Galaxy S6 General] AndreiLux:
I actually did the frequency analysis and the frequency calibration to even setup the 8-band equalizer the way it is now, maybe you have some superhuman hearing or vastly different headphones with different impedance but in my opinion Adapt Sound is a much better objective equalizer calibration to make sound actually sound the way it should be.
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Yes "sounding the way it should be" isnt that personal too? :) sounds just boring for me but thats my personal opinion too, I'm here to help people who are not happy with stock sound.

Using the analysis frequency calibration from adapt sound the high's are still sounding too harsh, mid's are recessed and there is little to no bass at all.

I'm having different headsets to test this including low impedance (apple earpods) and high impedance phones like the sennheiser HD 600 and DT770 from beyerdynamic.

The dac op amp is not powerfull enough though to drive high impedance phones for sounding like they should be

If you dont like this combo i dont blame you, and won't force anyone to use it i'm here to help...

Many people seem to like it though.
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
anyway [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION] i'm not doubting your sense of audioquality but i think we are discussing about 2 different things here:

I want to sound my own music as a "new experience" like sitting on a attraction. trying new things and pushing boundries in a good way without having imbalance between frequencies.

Stock adapt sound will give you indeed "the sound music should be" voiced in a U shaped trend of equalizer which is the "new norm" of voicing I don't like, as many people don't like too.

Thats makes you maybe more a audiophile than i am, I have never been searching for the absolute "correct" sound but more for making music a new FUN experience.
[Galaxy S6 General] keaheng:
Listening with M50x... Much improved

Thank man.
[Galaxy S6 General] RJTBVK:
2.9 is out. Hehe Friedrich did not left the building
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Jep he didn't know the mod worked actually as he doesnt have the phone to test it out.

He was very happy to hear it worked and people are interested ^^.

S6 community on echoerom forum just needed/needs a little boost, for all those who can go register on echoerom forum and give your thanks:good:
[Galaxy S6 General] Mentalmuso:
Sometimes its as simple as having the ability to customize it as you prefer, hardware eq gives a better result than sw eq. Placebo or not, I want control. It's a good thing.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mentalmuso:
Is anyone having an issue where the audio eq settings are audibly turning off when you home button out of any app? like music, or spotify, or even synapse

EDIT: it fixed itself after a clean install
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Yeah had it once when i plugged in charger and made the charger sound seemned to disable the hardware EQ. Fixed it by unplugging and back plug the jack cable from my headset. But with home button i have not this issue
[Galaxy S6 General] RJTBVK:
V3 is out, smooth!!!
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
For those who give a crap...Have been playing with settings again today, they are are more ear friendly, more balanced.

Can you guys test these out? give some feedback what you think

Keep your bass in viper the same

Band 1 gain: +12db

Band 2 gain: +6db

Band 3 gain: +5db

Band 4 gain: +1db

Band 5 gain: +0db

Band 6 gain: +0db

Band 7 gain: +0db

Band 8 gain: -2db
[Galaxy S6 General] keaheng:
man what model of the earphone or the headphone are you using?
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
It sounds best on my in ear apple earpods (which imo are suprisely decent) as this phone cant drive properly my high impedance phones (HD 600 and D770)

but nvm i know enough ill keep my settings for my own then :) you may close this thread
[Galaxy S6 General] mauley:
I am using your settings with my RHA RA-350 in ear phones and it sounds great. I didnt use the V4A tweak as these have nice bass reproduction on their own. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
Yes the viper bass is optional for earphones or headphones that needs it. I like to use it when listening to modern metal genres gives you "in your face" sound ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] fc_Kuro:
Hi guys.

Jody I've tried both of your settings but I cant seem to put the volume up all the way because the sound cuts out and then the volume is put lower automatically.

What would i need to change to fix this? lower each band slightly?
[Galaxy S6 General] jody2k:
I guess your having a high impedance headphone otherwise i wouldnt know why u need so much power ^^ you can add gain in viper4android app scroll down: master gain: output gain and from there you can add more volume(gain)

Anyway i dont have your issue do you use stock music player? did u do clean install?

If your keep having issues do a full wipe and go install newest weta rom from [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]. It has the soundmods included

[E 2015 General] IronTechmonkey:
As many owners of Motorola's Atrix, Atrix HD, Moto E and other models know all too well...

- Motorola has not maintained an organized or regular update cycle for their devices.

- Motorola has repeatedly broken vague promises and hard commitments to update devices.

- This includes cases where the updates were promised on the Motorola website.

- This includes a case where the update was released with details posted on-line but was not actually delivered to the devices stated.

- There has been an instance where an OTA that was a 5.0.x update was displayed as 5.1.x when being installed.

- Some of the affected devices are not service provider branded (just Moto) so Motorola cannot blame the SP as they have in the past.

Picking up on an idea considered when Motorola backed out of their commitment to update the Atrix HD to Lollipop last year, an on-line petition has been created to let Motorola know this is not right. It is focused on the Moto E but is crafted so it can be signed by anyone who has been betrayed by Motorola's failed update commitments or want to see a better way of handling updates. If there is any resolution as a result of this petition, it is unlikely to extend far but we can still let them know about it.

https://www.change.org/p/motorola-f...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Of course feel free to share details about pertinent experiences here in this thread but if you want Motorola to hear it, sign the petition and share the link to it. Also, For the Moto E you can make it known here at the Moto thread where details about the Moto E update are posted https://forums.motorola.com/posts/83391de77a?page=1.

Motorola once was, and should still be, capable of better than this!

------------------------------------

Nov 1, 2016, Greetings:

Motorola. Has finally updated most of the Moto E line to Android Marshmallow. Even some of the devices thought to be left off the update list (such as US retail single sim XT1511) eventually got Marshmallow, although sadly only after many boot-loaders were unlocked. Also, this Change.org petition for Moto E has been automatically closed (naturally expired), which was timely because it serves no purpose anymore, so I'll leave it expired and will ask to have this thread closed. I thank all who participated with signatures or in spirit. It was small in scope but every little bit helps.

One last thing: Although Moto E has been updated, Motorola has not mended it's poor updating ways and have done something similar (even worse by many measures) to yet another device, the Moto G3. There is a petition for that described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/2015...sprey-t3476321 which I encourage all affected to sign.

If you mean Android Forums, I've dug up some links to old posts of mine there (or was it Android Central, I don't recall) but they did not seem like good spots for this. Still, it's a good idea. I should be able to find a suitable place at other forums, and am open to specific recommendations. Also, everyone should feel free to share the link to the petition.

[E 2015 General] Semseddin:
I think you guys shouldnt give a penny to motorola instead of moaning to let them hear your voice. Motorola simply doesnt give the smallest damn about this kind of petitions. Tried and didnt work for numerous times. Dont buy motorola, dont let anyone around you buy motorolas, that is what motorola deserves for their customer relations, marketing and update lies.
[E 2015 General] IronTechmonkey:
Boycott is not a bad idea either but that sort of action may actually be harder to organize than efforts like a petition. Have you ever organized a boycott or a petition about this subject? The action of withholding dollars, and the action of creating a petition are not mutually exclusive. Unfortunately many of us already posses these devices and do not have the option to redirect money to a different device at this point but would still like to do something about it. There are no guarantees, but this type of pressure has been made to work before. For me personally, having first used Motorola gear in the form of gray brick shaped walkie talkies and under-dash radios in the 1980s, and since then always being impressed with whatever Motorola device I encountered across a wide range of hardware types; wanting to see Moto do better is part of this. Also, please do note that discouraging the petition and calling it "moaning" in the very thread where it is shared may not go over well;).

I haven't organized a petition like this before but participated for atrix 4g ics update and xt910 bootloader unlock petitions back in time, the electronic signs were counted by nearly 10k and motorola didnt give the smallest damn about those, just igroned us. I am not here to discourage anyone but i posted just to say dont bother your precious time to tame a liar company in a friendly manner, not worth it. They dont listen to their customers at all. I also like motorola hardware and that is where it ends for me, everything else in motorola just have the stinkny worst smell of all. Their marketing, service team, software team are all the worst but they used to have good engineers, not sure if they still have them looking at their 2015 portfolio can be called at best pathetic.

Hope you guys get the updates you deserve for your devices though. Just dont buy anything else branded motorola in future, this will teach them better how to behave as a responsible company when they dont see money flowing into their vault.
[E 2015 General] IronTechmonkey:
10k? To believe that number I would have to have see proof, including the specific details and target/recipient of the petition.

Within one 18 word statement you contradict yourself. If you don't like the food being served then don't pull up to the table. Perhaps you could vent by creating an anti petition petition that discourages people from signing petitions, but whatever you do please take it elsewhere.

[E 2015 General] IronTechmonkey:
Impressive that they got 16k and I agree with it in principal but that is a request to unlock bootloader, against which Motorola (and other device manufacturers) are well insulated legally. The same is not necessarily the case for provably failed published commitments to provide a product or service.

A well presented case with good coverage but again, it is for getting an unlocked bootloader which is a steeper uphill battle.

Thank you for the warm wishes, and for the details of the other actions, which I did find informative, helpful, and actually encouraging (although I still have modest hopes).
