Okay, well I'm willing to try anything before getting my replacement. What do I have to do?
[Fire TV General] retyre:
I cannot be sure that it worked, but it did not report the errors I had when running other commands (even a simple ls -al). It just went back to the shell prompt.

With this working, wouldn't one be able to downgrade (e.g., from rooted 5.0.4 to rooted 5.0.3.1), if needed?
[Fire TV General] Fruchttiger00x0:
First of all let us see who is knocking at your USB. For Linux just look at the kernel right after pluging it: dmesg

For Windows it is the event viewer.

Of course you might skip that cause the python what you had to use for initial rooting should still be there

For Linux it is

sudo su -

./aftv2-tools/handshake.py

Sorry, but the preloader update with the gz killed it beyond a way I know how to repair it. I have one in a state where the preloader is rejected and made a number of attempts to fix it but don't know enough about how the device is brought up to fix it. The comment I made after was for people who just didn't finish flashing system.

Did you run busybox sync immediately after it finished dd or sometime later? Did it return after a second or 2 or as soon as you pressed enter?

I would say the same but he described something like a device notice which was comming from the PC, right? You think it's only some dead impuls from Hardware init? Give it a shot boy, I have to know that :D

For those who also bricked. I'd decided to get a second one cause my full restore project failed in the first place. But now it's running for about 24 hours and I have a good feeling about it this time :)

[Fire TV General] Patrick_445:
Did your new box come with 5.0.4? Which method did you use to root?
[Fire TV General] Fruchttiger00x0:
No it came with 5.0.3.1 but was upgraded right after a first reboot. I notice it but let it go on so I was able to use the common way other writing via preloader. So yes, I took the 5.0.4 aftv2 root from the git repo. No problems this time. Of course busybox was the first damn thing I sideloaded :D
[Fire TV General] zeroepoch:
I just wanted to give people some additional info.

I did a test where I dd'd rooted 5.0.4 over an already rooted 5.0.4 and ran static busybox sync. It took 20 seconds to return to the prompt. That means dd was not really done. So you really need to wait. [MENTION=2516604]aboshi[/MENTION] has a script now that does this sync at the end which should help.

Also I checked the diff between rooted 5.0.3.1 and 5.0.4 and its 750mb of byte differences which is about half the partition so that's hardly better than a full restore if you don't finish the system flash.
[Fire TV General] Patrick_445:
A few people now including you and [MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] have mentioned a way to run sync after dd, but there have been no specific instructions. Is the static linking and later execution a complicated procedure?

EDIT: I just noticed [MENTION=2516604]aboshi[/MENTION]'s new thread. Maybe his script includes static linking?

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Adding a link to the new thread in this post would be really helpful (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64472113)
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
[MENTION=5910180]Patrick_445[/MENTION]

I have updated the post with the link.

Yes the script handles everything including the sync at the end. As an added safety measure it will sleep for 60 seconds after the sync.

when running my tests busybox reboot did not reboot the system at the end, so I just used the regular reboot. It reboots my system but I had already upgraded with this method so all commands were still linked. If for some reason the system doesn't reboot on its own after the script runs you can just power cycle after it drops you back to a terminal prompt.

Hi.

I was searching but could not find an info what is a difference between V20A and V20B.

Can anyone help me decide what I need?

Background

Okay so the glass on my 2013 Moto X broke on September 27th I ordered a new one and while changing it I accidentally broke the digitizer so I disconnected the digitizer and the phone turned on while my digitizer with disconnected then i had no way of turning it off while my digitizer was disconnected the phone started to vibrate every 3 seconds until the battery died... so I was forced to switch over to my Nexus 6 because at the time that was my backup phone because I love the performance of my Moto X.. now a few months later yesterday to be exact my new digitizer arrived and I brought my Moto X back to life powers on and performs just fine

Problem

My wrist twitch to activate camera doesn't work

My dual chop to activate led doesn't work

Whenever I make a phone call or receive a phone call my screen turns off automatically but the phone call works just fine once the phone call has ended my screen does not turn back on I have to reboot the phone to turn on the display again

2013 moto x on 5.1.1 stock rom locked bootloader rooted using crashes method with ultra slim root

any help or tip is greatly appreciated
[Moto X Q&A] hachamacha:
Maybe, but it really depends what's actually wrong. The Moto has a TI MSP430 chip that handles all that 'motion, wave-to-wake, chop-chop' stuff and it's loaded from a /firmware folder or partition (have forgotten at this point). [MENTION=1127036]masteri[/MENTION]fla figured out which files it was on 4.4.4 & 5.1 that got uploaded to the 430 and wrote a .zip file to change from 4.4.4's "wave to wake" to 5.1 "chop chop" or vice versa. I fixed some little bug in it, and stuck the working .zips up in this post although they may be elsewhere as well: (so :: these zips contain the firmware that actually does the wave-to-wake stuff and can be 'recovery-flashed')

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63616790&postcount=17

At least if that works, you'll know that it was the firmware for that chip, and if not, it might actually be the 430 chip(which you can see in the teardown). The post by me and anything by masterifla should be pretty well explained.

Cheers.
[Moto X Q&A] BADDINOROX99:
but have a locked bootloader :( I can't flash anything...but you gave hope maybe if I use rsd lite to flash stock I can fix this
[Moto X Q&A] hachamacha:
There still might be a way. I keep trying to have people get this to work, but I'm not sure of the outcome yet, so give it try if you like: Here's some steps:

1) Locked bootloader / no root means mostly that you can't write system, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to temporarily boot into a PC-based copy of twrp. Once in twrp (for one time say) you are root, and you have access to anything on your gizmo. In theory, you should be able to mount system read-write and change something in the file system.

2) Get the correct copy of twrp and adb (from dev forum for this box) and put it on a PC with fastboot in the same folder. To make this easy, called twrp "twrp.img" and call "fastboot" or "mfastboot" fastboot.exe (I am for some reason assuming you've got a PC, not a mac or linux, but the ideas are similar.

3) quick explain of the files in the .zip from above ^^ : 8 files prefixed by MSP that are located when on the moto in /system/etc/firmware. Unzip them and stick them in that same folder.

4) Tricky part : (I think) : reboot into the twrp.img on your PC by getting your device into fastboot / bootloader mode: (so .. volume-up&down&power keys all held down for ~10 seconds perhaps, then if you've gotten it right (it's touchy), you'll be in the bootloader where it has a small tiny text list of stuff like "continue, recovery, etc).

5) you're good with the phone if you've made it here: now on the PC from that folder, type in "fastboot boot twrp.img" and good luck. If it works, your phone will be in TWRP with root access. If not, I don't know another option at the moment.

6) Probably the rest is most easily done from the PC command (or shell) window where the files are. Since your device is in the bootloader and awaiting further instruction, you should be able to use adb to talk to recovery now. so carry on:

7) (get the files from your PC (the MSP prefixed ones) onto the device, so first remount system r/w):

a) "adb remount" // supposedly should remount system toggling the read attribute to write
b) "adb push msp* /system/etc/firmware/" // copies files to device unless I've got syntax wrong, try one at a time if doesn't work.
c) "adb shell ls -al /system/etc/firmware/" // list all files, and post them back here to see if it even worked.
d) "adb remount" // system partition back to normal ro state.
d) "adb reboot" // moment of truth, a reboot.

8) after things settle post-reboot, check out "wave-to-wake" , camera twist, etc. This works on 4.4.4 or 5.1 (if this other stuff above works).

Note: I could be way off on my idea that rebooting into recovery will give you enough functionality to do this, but I'm not sure what other choices you've got without being able to root. I guess another thing I'm wondering about is why you wouldn't be able to root the phone from recovery regardless of how you booted into it. You still can't unlock bootloader, but I'm not clear on what difference it makes at the moment.

Good luck. It's a "hail mary" pass.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DectonX:
If

Unlocked bootloader=true

Then install XZdual Recovery By Nut

If

Unlocked bootloader=false

Then TWRP MANAGER FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE

notes:

#if u used dual recovery u should have supersu not kingroot.... It may work with kingroot but prefered supersu

#if you used twrp manager u must have busybox installed on your device to use dd command

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxito71:
Hi everybody.

I'm writing this in order to find out if someone else is having the same issue.

I bought a Nexus 6 a month ago coming from an HTC M8 (with GPE 6.0 on board).

When I set the new device I decided to "restore from Google account" all the settings and apps without unlocking or rooting it.

Everything went fine and started using (with great pleasure) the "big boy".

Since ten days (a couple of weeks after) Inbox app decided to give me notifications of new emails just... when it wants to. I have "good days" when everything works smooth and others when I have to open the app to discover I have several unread messages.

I tried uninstalling the app, use GMail instead but the same issue came out. I tried deleting caches and data but nothing: same behavior.

Hoped 6.0.1 (got the OTA) could solve but no, nothing.

Does anybody have some hint to solve this?

It's getting me crazy...

Currently I have an HTC M9 that is S-off with current details:

Htc_himauhl PVT S-OFF

CID:11111111

OS- 1.32.708.15

Here are my questions

1.	I need to update this bad boy to the latest software, after installing sync manager, can I just download 2.11.617.15 / Unlocked/Developer edition RUU found on http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9/news/ and flush away or do I need to do additional steps??

2.	If I can flush away, will my S-off automatically switch back to S-on because I updated to official RUU?

3.	If I somehow upgrade to an official or custom rom with a higher version, and I later on plan to go to stock rom, can I downgrade directly if I run an RUU that 1.32.708.15 with out any additional steps??

Do let me know guys

If you're M9 is AT&T then yes you can run the RUU 2.11.617.15 on your Pc and convert it to a Developer Edition.

There is already a thread on how to convert AT&T M9 to Developer Edition

Once you're S-Off it will stay that way unless you manually go threw the steps to put back S-On. So flashing firmware /radios/Roms will not affect the S-Off status

But you really need to find the thread how to convert your AT&T M9 to Developer Edition it has all the answers your looking for.

hello.

just got my watch a few days ago and am curious to those who decided to switch out the rom to have full android on their watch.

now we all know samsung had to do a lot to make this watch a companion with the phone so the software on it plus the gear manager on the phone give it the ability to be controlled properly. when you install real android on it you lose this functionality ... sure there are a few apps out there that can do that (forward notifications) but mostly they suck.
