Replacing the 360 Gen 2 Battery

The disassembly site linked earlier in this thread has a step that says "Remove the two screws near the button." and below the photo , says "This operation will destroy the metal bracket and cannot be restored.".. which is before getting access to the battery. Is that a big deal, has anyone replaced the battery and ran into this issue?
[Moto 360 2015] DeLutisJ:
I have a Moto 360 in a bootloader that I am looking from USB connections to send a new firmware file over, after prying off the plastic ring I can see the pins any guesses for the data pins.

---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

I meant bootloop not bootloader
[Moto 360 2015] M4GNV5:
Hey,

I successfully connected my watch via USB!

I cut open an usb cable giving be four cables: red, black, green and white. The following is the pin connections that worked:

A1: USB green

A2: USB white

A3: unused

A4: unused

A5: USB red (5V)

A6: USB black (GND)

The best thing: There is no need to open the watch fully! Simply removing the back case should be enough.

I soldered some wires to the connectors on the ring, but i assume one could build a spring based connector. Here's an image of my setup (Please note the wire colours are not the USB wires):

I connected the wires shown in the image above like this:

purple <-> USB green

blue <-> USB white

orange <-> USB red

red <-> USB black

After plugging it into a Linux Mint machine and booting it into Fastboot lsusb found the watch:

Bus 002 Device 010: ID 22b8:2e80 Motorola PCS

and dmesg said:

[ 662.633549] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
[ 662.732596] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=22b8, idProduct=2e80

In order to boot into fastboot Press and hold the power button, the clock will vibrate once when it turns on, after some time it will vibrate twice when you can release the button.

I hope this helps you guys, I myself wanted to move to AsteroidOS and already gave up on the watch so i decided to take it apart. Now that I can access fast boot maybe I'll find the time to port AsteroidOS to it.
[Moto 360 2015] eltigre4jc:
Great NEWS!

I want to try this myself, but I want to discover a method without soldering the wires...
[Moto 360 2015] T53N:
Did you manage to flash AstroidOS? I hope it works.
[Moto 360 2015] klabit87:
Thanks for your info.

I started looking into this because of the Wear OS update.

If Moto updates then I won't worry about it. If they don't, then I plan to move to another watch os it compile Wear OS myself.
[Moto 360 2015] kingsleycao:
Well, can somebody make a TWRP Recovery for moto 360 2015? Root this watch and uninstall some system apps.
[Moto 360 2015] MagneFire:
TWRP for Moto 360 2nd gen

I know it's a bit late, but finally I've got TWRP 3.3.1 working on the Moto 360 2nd gen(46mm, codename: smelt) :)

Because I am not allowed to post links, here is a hint on where you can find it:

- Google: magnefire github twrp

- Then you can download the recovery image from the release section.

[Moto 360 2015] kingsleycao:
I'm very sorry for my late reply. It's sooooooo amazing. Thank you so much for such a great work! But I can't make the USB dock it's a little bit difficult for me. So I'll try other ways to connect between watch and computer.

Maybe you can post a new thread about it so that can make more people know there is a twrp for smelt. :laugh:
[Moto 360 2015] rdelro:
I was able to flash AsteroidOS successfully, on the Moto360 Gen 2 (Smelt.) Thanks to this helpful pinout! Soldering was straightforward and clear. Already have a good 3 days in so far after dropping WearOS completely. The companion App from F-Droid is also functional!

Hey guys I just recently rooted my Note 5 and I'm just wondering if there is a way to set up vibration when touching the screen?

I researched for the past hour or so and couldn't find anything because there are threads on "how to disable" or turn it off and I would like to turn it on.

Thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Excessiveidling:
Hello all, having come from an htc one m8 I gotta say I'm liking the note 4 so far. I even purchased the samsung gear 2 neo and feel like **** tracy! The question I have and that I have googled and not found too many results on is whenever I open up my camera app I get a message that states "Not for image quality testing. Ok for functionality test". For all case and purposes the camera seems to operate fine as well as the rest of the phone but I'm curious as to why that message would pop up? I have not modified the phone (short of disabling a little bit of the crapware) and I also have tried clearing the cache of the camera app as well as data of the camera app. All my apps are up to date according to google play. I am still within my 14 days of verizon return policy so I want to make sure I don't have an actual real issue with the hardware of the phone. Any ideas are appreciated. I'd prefer to not system reset it or exchange it, however if that is what needs to be done to verify I have a fully functional phone, then so be it.

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostboi007:
The adaptive fast charger that came with my phone works well with my galaxy s6. Fast charging works well and I can get up to 50% charge in about 25 mins. But the problem is it doesn't charge any other phone apart from galaxy s6. If I plug my htc one or lg g3 or any other phone (even blackberry), it will indicate its charging but won't add any juice. I've tried charging other phones for up to 30 mins, rather than charging the battery % will either stay where it is or sometimes drain. It can't even charge simple things like a modem or even a ps4 controller. I once plugged a ps4 controller and the charging light indicated, but to my surprise after 1 hour of charging it still was not able to add one bar to the battery. In fact if I plug a phone with 2% battery , after 20 mins of charging the phone dies.

I want to know if anyone else have this problem and possible solution, or was this charger designed like this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abmicyau:
Same here. Doesn't charge my Nexus 5. Not a big deal for me though, as I have other chargers.

But sorry, no solution :P
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricks25:

But using other cord with the s6 adapter charger works, atleast in my experience.

Build Failure

Unfortunately, the first nightly build attempt failed due to a bit of carelessness on my part. I forgot to "git add -A" when I was updating the blobs on TheMuppets (CM vendor blobs repo). It should be fixed for the next round of nightlies.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] daniel910821:
Is there any chance that you upload a build with latest changes, as there're a lot of usefull changes for this nightly?

Oh no! A recent change in the CyanogenMod settings code broke otus because of MotoDoze. That's a bummer. I'll patch it now and make you a reconciliatory unofficial build.

That build failure was sad to see. I had been looking forward to the first nightly build for days. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. I've already put up a fix for the failure on gerrit. In the interim, since I'm sure you all want to try a new build, and I want to make sure it builds properly, I'm going to be making an unofficial build tonight and will post it in an hour. You should be able to flash tomorrow's nightly over top of tonight's unofficial build once it comes out.

P.S. Even the mighty victara failed the nightly build due to the same moved class.

There are two patches needed to fix this that are up on gerrit but haven't been merged in yet. Its the same issue as on dual SIM Titan.

[E 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
It may be out in a few hours or by tomorrow but, unless I'm mistaken you'll need to apply the patch referred to in the previous post even with the next nightly to get dual sim working. Dual sim is the main issue discussed in this thread o this point so you should probably review the thread for references to it.

Hello XDA,

If I unlocked the bootloader of a G920V, would it effectively become a G920F?

Would it then be able to be rooted, and be able to flash other software?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
There is no way to be able to unlock the bootloader. If you did it would not change the model number. If you are still on Software version OE2 you can root and then flash my ROM or the other few in the forums. But you will not flash ROMS from other carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jazzamo:
So even if I unlock from the carrier, and am on BOG5 for the G920V, I am not able to root my phone or flash other ROMs/softwares?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JaeKay:
Unlocking from carrier =/= Unlocking bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] J4nu5:
Unlocking from your carrier is not the same as unlocking the bootloader.

If you have the Verizon version of the phone then you will not be unlocking the bootloader anytime soon. Unlocking the phone to use on another carrier may be possible but the bootloader will remain locked.

If rooting or customising is more your thing you may consider buying out the phone from Verizon and simply buying a new one with the new carrier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cnewman402:
Correct after I moved the phone off their network and it was soley owned by me, I spent hours on the phone with multiple Verizon employees. I explained I wanted my bootloader unlocked and they refused to do so. Most of the employees had no idea what I was talking about. The one that did know what I was talking about spent nearly an hour searching for someone who would do it for me only to be told due to policy they do not unlock bootloaders. Most of them exclaimed they cannot because they did not lock it Samsung did, which I knew was a lie because Verizon updates the bootloader. I even went as far as going into the FCC rules. They gave 0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rbeavers:
Thanks for trying !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] justda:
You bought the phone with the bootloader locked. Verizon and Samsung have no legal obligation to unlock it for you. FCC won't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sam Spade1:
root can be done on s5 with locked boot loader check out jrkruse thread

probably have to wait for them to due same foe s6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] justda:
Root has been achieved on a lot of phones with locked bootloaders, but what does that have to do with this thread? The S6 had root, when it was on the OE2 build, with a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Illogi.xbone:
This. Whether or not the bootloader has been unlocked does not mean you do or do not have root. Samsung phones are all testament to that.

[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kungmo:
Hello.

I have Desire 820 dual sim. Three days ago, screen blacked out suddenly, phone poweered off. After that, the phone didn't power up.

I tried push a power button for 10 seconds or more, and volume up + power button, volume down + power button with similar way. Without charging or connect to computer with USB cable, no reaction has shown. When it is connected to power, orange led is blinking and does not power on.

When it is connected to computer, device is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(COM3). I found that is download mode for snapdragon SoC. I think flash memory is wiped out with unknown reason, and main board seems alive.

I searched the internet to revive this bricked phone, but I can't solve this problem. Even in xda developers.

Is there any solution I can do? I installed QPST package from Qualcomm which contains QFIL and etc. If I can install proper fastboot on this phone, it will revive. I bought this phone in Hong Kong, and I live in S.Korea now, there is no service center for HTC. Please help to revive my bricked 820. Thank you.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kehfren:
A similar situation just happen to me, the phone was ok, I got a voice chat and while hearing it the phone make a strange noise and went off. After a few seconds it came back up at the HTC logo, so I guessed it would boot back up and everything was going to be back to normal working conditions. To my surprise it didn’t happen that way. The phone was on a boot loop and I wasn’t able to go into fastboot, recovery or anything. Some minutes later the phone went off totally and it wasn’t turning back on. I plugged it to see if it was discharged and the orange led was just flashing, I leave it there for more than 30 min and the same thing was going on, flashing orange led, no power whatsoever.

What I did was to remove the device back cover, disconnect the battery cable from the main board for a few seconds and put it back. The phone first comes on normal and enter into android, but just of a sudden it start boot looping again. This time I was able to power it off and enter into bootloader to perform a factory reset. Once finished the phone seem to try entering into android but something happen during the boot process, phone goes back to the boot loop.

So what you can do is to try reseating the battery cable and see what happen. Be careful doing this since you could damage the phone or short the battery out which can be dangerous.

At least now when charging I have a solid orange light, I still have to work out the boot loop issue.

Let me know what happen.

The problem can be accumulated, which mean it can caused by some environmental elements ( e.g. humidity, charging current and voltage ). These can lead to a sudden dead. Is your warranty still in effect? If yes, take it to your local retail shop and ask for repair!

[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
I know it's probably not what you want to hear but from what I can see in your post the best action now would be to start from a clean device by using Odin to flash the phone back to stock settings using stock firmware and Odin. From there proceed to use Odin and your chosen recovery and ROM to reinstall them and start from where you left off :)
[General Questions and Answers] djr~:
Thanks very much TechMiner, that's rather the direction I've been leaning myself as well. And with my query drawing over 50 views.... I very much appreciate at least one response (yours!).

I've perused a variety of others' bootloop issues and it seems that even then (that is, attempting a re-flash back to previous stock) ... a number of folks apparently haven't been successful regaining control of their devices. So since it looks like there's at least a small chance that a stock re-flash may not work ... I was wondering if anyone here *might* suggest just continuing on (because TWRP appears to work) toward trying a custom ROM.

Again, Thanks very much for your response.

Cheers!
