[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justyourimage:
Simple answer: No.

Long answer: No without root you're not going to come out anywhere.

And judging from your posts / questions you don't bring the skills necessary to customize and debloat

(no offense but it takes time and is really easy to mess up resulting in the opposite as in more battery drain)

your stockrom properly that 's why it would be simpler to just flash an well prepared Rom instead.

Simple solution: 1. Root it, 2. Install TWRP, 3. Backup, 4. Wipe, 5. Flash Fulmics or Cloudy.

After that you have a solid base (a properly debloated rom) you can search for guides regarding Maximizing Battery life.

Or you could just skip flashing Fulmics / Cloud and move straight to this point and keep your Stock Rom.

Anyway - root is a must have for getting battery under control (and there are countless threads regarding battery savings around).

Cheers :)

I just got a Moto G from Sears. It is to be used on Consumer Cellular. I have contacted many sources on eBay to get an unlock code but they all seemed to failed in getting that. Does anyone have any info on this?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
It's just a normal XT1540 that they rebrand with their own name. The factory rom may have a cc designation in the version# but any features that work on the XT1540 will work on it. You will have to get the unlock code from Motorola to unlock it. Any of the unlocking and rooting threads will work on it.

My old 2nd gen came from Sears and I wish I'd gotten my G3 from there. Their extended warranty is pretty cheap and if you brick it, they'll replace it no questions asked. They did on my 2nd gen anyway.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
The only one that I was aware of was the "My Consumer Cellular" app which I have on my phone but I don't have the CC specific rom. Now that you mention the CC stuff in Marshmallow, I recognize you from somewhere else. ;)
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnlatn65:
Sorry, I meant unlock code as in for using the device on another carrier.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
OK sorry. That's a good question, since you can bring pretty much any compatible AT&T or T-Mobile phone over to Consumer Cellular without unlocking why shouldn't it go the other way. Assuming that it is locked to CC have you contacted your carrier? If they're on the CTIA Consumer Code for Wireless Service list then they are required by law to unlock the phone.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
So did an alternative AT&T or T-Mobile SIM not work in your phone?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnlatn65:
No. When inserting my T-Mobile SIM in, it asks for the unlock code. I contacted Consumer Cellular for the unlock code but they did not fulfill my request because I do not have an account with them. But I do have the device paid off in full.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
Did you contact your provider?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnlatn65:
My provider is T-Mobile. I doubt they will unlock a Consumer Cellular phone.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
I wonder if they will unlock it if you took out one of their $10 plans. There's no contract or sign up so it would cost at least 10 bucks plus those taxes that get added on.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnlatn65:
Yes. I will definitely give it a try. They also have the "30 Day Money Back Guarantee" so I can probably get my money back. Thanks!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
I've had them for service going on 4 years and I've always found them good to work with.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
And Sears would not provide an unlock code?

I use Consumer Cellular and now glad I did not buy my Moto from them.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
No, Sears sales people wouldn't be any help at all. Even the people that answer the phones are clueless. I found out that's good in a way, they ask no questions when you brick the phone and return it. I found that out twice when I bricked two 2nd gen Motos'. I also think it could be a roll of the dice on what you get from them. The 2nd gen I got from them worked fine with an AT&T Sim in it. All I ever did to it was flash it back to stock from the custom rom I had on it and give it to a friend.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skater4599:
Hi all, I've had Fire TV 1's and rooted them since the day they got rooted, the main thing I use them for is Kodi and as a launcher.

I followed zeroepoch's thread and attempted root in windows but it stopped midway through, not bricked or anything, the only thing I noticed is I could not check for updates anymore (I did not disable the ota service or block in router or anything) since no root access at that point. Well I decided to spin up an Ubuntu VM and use linux to root (MUCH faster/easier btw!) I followed the video guide posted here (Thanks!) and it was a breeze.

Here's my question now though, I want to update to 5.0.4. [MENTION=5957312]AFTVnews.com[/MENTION] posted a topic about 5.0.4 but had suggessted unrooting first, then upgrading officially, then re-rooting. I"m good with doing this, I'm sure it will take some time to complete but that's fine. I'm just not sure how to go about doing this. I have kept my linux box VM, is there a guide I missed or anything? I'm sure it's similar to the rooting process I just want to make sure I do it right, don't want a brick.

Also with FTV1, xposed was working and rbox module to override launcher and this is what I used a lot of, as well as modified Kodi Confluence skin from [MENTION=2544479]elmerh[/MENTION]ueso. I know xposed is not yet up and running on ftv2 but for those running Kodi, is Firestarter the best launcher replacement, even with root? Last question is, I noticed team Kodi dropped libstagefright in Jarvis, this was a major problem for the FTV1 as is was a regression in some video playback as mediacodec is not quite as mature. Is this still the case with FTV2? Or what is the reccomended version of Kodi everyone is using?

Thanks for everyones help, without your work the fire tv would be nowhere compared to what it is now!

P.S. - Any other Root programs/tips&tricks for the FTV2 now that I've successfully rooted, I'd love to hear what others are using root for on their FTV2.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
I use the latest stable version of Kodi 15.2, running Konfluence skin (modded confluence), get yourself a Logitech K400 plus keyboard their great & have also a mouse touch pad (make sure you unable us debugging or your usb socket won't work). Their isn't a proper guide yet I've looked! We will have to wait I'm sure it won't be long? Their is a quick upgrade in the forums but also some have reported bricks with the "quick upgrade" , so for me I'm not taking the risk just yet, I'd rather do a longer flash of my AFTV2 than a super quick flash & end up with a "brick".
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roligov:
Just enable OTA via package manager then install the 5.0.4 update. It will unroot your device and you have a stock 5.0.4. Then just root as you did for 5.0.3. There is no reason/need to go to stock 5.0.4 and then rerooting. I've done 3 devices with exactly this method, no issues.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
I'm sure it's safe but I would rather wait for an official guide than take a risk
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skater4599:
Thanks everyone!

Good info here, I'm glad to hear that re-enabling the OTA is "safe" to just go ahead and update and re-root, I thought there might be something else needed but I aired on the side of caution as I'm pretty new to the FTV2 and the rooting method used for it.

Your tips/input is much appreciated!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
I don't know about OTA'ing from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4 being "safe". It SEEMS to work... but I still have some reservations about it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Same here, I recall from previous experiences in the past with many rooted devices (mainly phones or consoles) that in most cases that you don't install OTA updates straight from a rooted device because 9/10 times It leads to Bricks! Now I don't know if this would be the same with the AFTV2 but I'd unroot then install the OTA & then reroot.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skater4599:
There any instructions to do this? I would rather do it the safer method, dont care if it takes longer thats ok. Im not sure how to full unroot, use an app or reflash stock image or something? Thanks again
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Hopefully someone will provide a full working guide very soon, it is almost Xmas so I can't see anyone putting a guide up anytime this week? Or Amazon doing another update until at least the end of January? So we will have to just wait. Ask in the main Root thread for AFTV2 if you like?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Cheers mate I've seen this already & as tempting as a 3-5min flash upgrade I think I'd rather be safer with the longer root process than the quicker one, I'm not gonna jump in feet first when rooting (especially when we have no recovery yet).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen3benz:
I hear ya man. I havent tried it either. Im happy with my flawless kodi streaming from my pc to my ftv and phone. Dont really see a need for the 5.0.4 update myself, since i use Firestarter anyways. Cheers bud and merry xmas.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
I have a 4k fire TV box and have kodi installed etc,what's the benefits of rooting them
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
More features, mod the look of stuff, have more control over everything, if in the future Amazon blocks kodi, if your on an earlier update (custom firmware) you maybe able to still use (because we block the ota updates with root), get rid of ads in apps, more accessories options/mods, the list goes on.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupfulloflol:
Unless there is something wrong with the ROM, the kernel, or the combination of ROM + kernel, I would suspect there is something else wrong. Maybe settings somewhere, kernel settings maybe? Maybe an app? It would be impossible to know without more information.

That said, you can try another ROM there are plenty out there. Maybe it fixes whatever the problem may be, but my guess would be it would be a coincidence.

Hi guys!

I added HTC home on this WM6 ROM!

Its excellent!

Rom is very fast no problems! Just waiting for GPRS!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Maggy:
Can you tell us a bit more? Those of us who have not yet flashed the new WM6 rom can't try it out. And fior those who already can I believe it's still nice to be able to read about it first.

What I found so far is:

HTC HomePlug: Today screen plug-in (Displaying Time/messaging notifications/Launcher), allowing quick changes of various options, such as weather, missed calls, sms/email notifications, time/alarm changing & program launcher.

My main questions are

how easy is it to customise its looks? (I don't like the huge clock)

does it give repeating alerts for missed calls etc? (miss this very much)

thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] ^^rac:
Nice

Hi Maggy

I only installed it today.

I tried using it on my WM5 device, but it did not want to work.

Now on WM6 i was able to get it to work.

I did not try and modify the clock, but its features is amazing.

It has a weather screen(Default) And a launcher menu that you can modify to add/ remove shortcuts of programs of choice.

The main screen (One with clock) has got full notification service (mail/ sms/ missed calls) and a function to set your alarms from the main screen.

Im impressed!

You must try it out!

[Verizon LG G3] APeter001:
Hello,

Since rooting the phone it will not restart without pulling the battery.

If in Xposed "soft reboot" or "reboot" both turn the phone off and it will not respond to button input to re-start

If pressing power until power off menu comes up and I press reboot, it shuts down and will not re-start until I pull the battery.

If I plug in the power while it is in this state it will not charge or start

Once I pull the battery, it will:

Charge without starting when plugged in

Start with power button press

All else acts normal.

Any ideas? I just hate taking the stupid case off and pulling the battery any time I have to re-start!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't narrowed down what causes it, but I've eliminated a lot of things:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/rebooted-140-times-attempt-to-narrow-t3251949

Just for clarity, it more than likely isn't actually "off", it's rebooting and getting frozen with a black screen. Besides pulling the battery you can also long press the power button (10 seconds?) to force it to turn off, then turn it back on again. I usually just pull the battery too because it's quicker.
[Verizon LG G3] APeter001:
Yeah, no the long press doesn't do anything no matter if I leave it pressed for 5 seconds or even 45 seconds (Tried that several times)

Leaving it alone for an hour doesn't do anything. If anything I'm doubting that it turns all the way off rather than gets stuck rebooting. It is absolutely frozen until I pull the battery.

Here are the only things I have found which works to avoid taking the phone apart:

From Quickboot: Power Off (do not reboot, do not soft boot, etc, just power off) (quickly powers down, almost instant)

or

Press and hold power button for menu: Power Off (longer time to power down)

From either of those, the power button turns the phone back on no problem.

No rebooting works.
