when you get into about phone and all that. it shows 1GB. what about when you go to settings > memory ... does it show XXXMB / 1.0 GB being used, or 2.0?

if you are on a 2gb, and you flash 5.1.1 version 23.72-65, and then grab the OTA from settings > about phone > system updates --- what does it install, 1gb version of the OS?

edit: also following lost's instructions, do we definitely need to wipe userdata going from 2gb 23.72-47.4 to 1gb 23.72-65?

It installs the 1gb firmware. I'm not 100% sure on wiping userdata or not. I think you can skip that in fast boot.
[Moto G 2015 General] minieod:
yeah didnt need to "fastboot erase userdata"

for those who want exact steps:

1. download Retail US (1GB) - XT1540_OSPREY_RETUS_5.1.1_LPI23.72-65_cid9 (Newer Build) from (http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639)

2. follow instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750

2a. skip "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and "fastboot erase userdata"

3. phone should be exactly how you left it, but in the about phone, it should read "RETUS_5.1.1_LPI23.72-65"

4. hop into about phone > system updates

5. w00t

[Moto G 2015 General] u42671:
In another thread there were reports that for the 1 GB version Motorola has set the ro.config.low_ram= in build.prop to true, which changes Android behaviour in some places in order to reduce memory usage. For 2 GB version this is not set. So this would be at least one difference between 1 GB and 2 GB firmware image.

This difference *might* still exist in the MM images.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
Sadly, I just joined your club!! lol I wanted to comment here incase anyone else can help us or if I manage to figure it out myself I can find this thread easily. I got it rooted with newest version of Kingroot too, then I used Supersume to update to SuperSU and everything was working fine. When I tried rebooting, same thing as you I presume, I get kernel is not se enforcing I think it said and got the dreaded Unauthorized software was found running on this device, please take to att for service.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargonaz:
Sorry I can't help with your current problem. But, did you ever try to reboot with the kingroot SU?

This is definitely a slippery slope with no installation image.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mlight123:
This is an answer to someone who had done the same thing as us, his question is on the same page.

Can anybody give more detailed instructions to this? And will it even help our situation?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
Yes, the thread you got that info from I am familiar with. The Lp fix boot tar in OP of that thread will fix our issue only if you only used Kingroot then rebooted. To fix and be able to boot phone again, simply flash the lp fix boot tar. However, I also used Supersume Pro to swap kingroot for supersu and that is why even after using the lp fix boot tar I am now past the "unauthorized software detected, please power off and take to att store", message, but stuck now at the att logo on boot. I am thinking of taking it to best buy or even att and hope someone can help reflash the full 5.1.1 firmware. I do not think the above adb steps will help for me, to mount system don't we need root? after I flashed the lp fix boot.img, (It is just the stock 5.1.1 boot.img) that removed whatever Kingroot did to get me rooted. Now I am stuck without root on a tablet I cant boot. I can get into recovery but I can not get adb to see the device unless I choose adb sideload, then all I can do with that is use it to push files to the phone for recovery to flash if it is signed properly of course.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mlight123:
Shocked...

So... Despite what Klown80 said.. I flashed boot(LP_fix).tar from "Rooted NK2 AT&T t337a w/ Tutorial" and it booted right up but I noticed some thing the first time it booted, the unlocked custom logo was gone, and so it went through the normal boot, but it didn't get stuck at the AT&T logo, it booted to the lockscreen. So I preceded to uninstall everything root related, so that if it does get bootlooped I can take it to the store and hopefully get it restored and they have no proof of what I was trying to do, via going into SuperSU and uninstalling, then I deleted Kingroot, the SuperSU app, etc.. Then, now here is where I am really confused, I rebooted and the first thing I see is that unlocked lock logo with "Custom" under it, but at the top of my screen is says nothing about my kernal not being seandroid enforced or w/e, and it booted like normal to the lockscreen.

Sorry if that is at all confusing but I thought I'd just share my findings.. considering I have my tablet back! :D

Edit: I can, and will record this rebooting if anyone is curious to see what I'm talking about if they didn't understand the above statements.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
Glad to hear it worked for you mate! Sadly, it didnt for me. I do have good news of my own though, I was able to have my wife take it by the local Best buy store and after they tried the normal factory reset and such, he must have had an Odin flashable 5.1.1 file or something because the tab is back to working order.

That is how I knew I was in trouble after I rebooted the first time after installing Kingroot and Supersume Pro. I also got the red lettered "Kernel is not SEandroid enforcing in top left corner too, but the next thing I saw was the " Unauthorized software detected, please power off and take to ATT ". I don't think I ever even made it to the samsung screen if my memory is correct (It might not be! lol) It sounds like either kingroot or SuperSU left something behind after install maybe? If you go to Settings > About tablet > Status and scroll all the way to bottom, the last entry says custom as well correct? The unlocked padlock on boot just means Syscope is detecting something not official installed somewhere it normally shouldn't be.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smashboiii:

Can't you guys boot to download mode and flash the stock files via odin?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
The problem is the only stock Odin file available is KitKat, and since they're on official Samsung 5.1.1, they cannot downgrade, even using the official Odin file (attempting to results in a bootloop if I've read correctly).

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelSaya:
Use adb fastboot. Use system.img from Kit Kat. Have phone in download mode and with a adb terminal open, type "fastboot flash system system.img" without quotes. After its finished, go into stock recovery and apply the 5.1.1 update on your extSD card. You can also bring it to a Samsung Experience store inside Best Buy and they will restore it to factory stock for you.

Flash all 4 at once. Put the BL file in BL in Odin. AP file in AP in Odin, CP file in CP in Odin and CSC file the same way and start flashing with all four files at once.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webwarriortx:
Soft Bricked With Locked Bootloader

I have a similar problem but have managed to make it even worse by failing to unlock my bootloader prior to flashing a custom recovery ROM. Before I bricked it, Kingroot only seemed to temporarily root my Galaxy Tab 8.0.4 (SM-T377A AT&T) which is lost upon rebooting, so I would have to root it again. Under those conditions, I was able to back up the stock recovery, which I copied off the device, then flash a new custom recovery.

Now, when I try to reboot normally, I am faced with this error:

"System Software Not Authorized by AT&T has been found on your tablet. Please turn off your tablet and go to the nearest AT&T store for help"

When I try to use ODIN (after correctly creating the tar.md5 package) or Heimdall, it fails and the download screen on the Galaxy Tab shows "Secure Download : Enable" and an error "Secure Check Fail : recovery".

I am unable to boot normally so I am unable to access adb or fastboot services on the device, something that is normally required to unlock the boot loader. I am unable to get any of my computers to recognize the Galaxy Tab via adb / fastboot using Windows 10 or Ubuntu Linux. The problem is with the tablet because everything works correctly whenever I connect my Galaxy 4s Zoom phone, which is not bricked. Both computers (Windows or Linux) can detect the Galaxy Tab and communicate with it, sort of, when using Heimdall or Odin only as indicated by the errors on the Tablet showing that such communication is being blocked with "secure download : enable" / "Secure Check Fail: recovery"

How can I unlock the bootloader for a Galaxy Tab 8.0.4 that will only boot to "download mode" and does not provide adb / fastboot services? Or is there some way to by-pass recovery mode and force the tablet to boot normally so that I can root it again and restore my backed up stock recovery image from within Lollipop?

Thank you for your assistance.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateDG01:
To my knowledge there is no way to unlock the bootloader, thus no custom recovery and no custom ROMs. You'll have to flash the whole factory image in Odin and start from square one.

Which OS version were you on prior to all this?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webwarriortx:
Failed to Unlock Bootloader Prior to Flashing

Thank you for your prompt reply. The OS version included was 5.1.1 (Lollipop). I have signed up with sammobile.com and downloaded some official firmwares but none offered there is for the T377A (AT&T) containing the Lollipop OS, only KitKat, which I can accept, but the Tablet will not accept the downgrade. I have also tried the firmware for T337T (T-mobile) that included Lollipop knowing full well that I probably would be unable to use the AT&T 4G Network, which I can accept because at least I can use the WIFI until I can straighten everything out. But Odin will not accept that either. Do you know where I can get the official stock ROM for T337A (At&T)?

If you are downloading the 4 file repair firmware, you will only need to flash the AP file. Mainly to fix your problem and save your data.

If you are downloading the all-in-one firmware, you will need to extract system.img using 7zip and repack said file into its own .tar archive for Odin. Links in thread.
