Yea, your warranty is void at this point anyways so why not just unlock it! :p I root and use TiBu.. so I've not tested other backup methods but I'm pretty sure there are backup apps on the playstore that don't require root you could try.

BUT, the step "fastboot erase userdata" is what erases your installed apps/setting and personal files, etc. Really you can just SKIP that step and you SHOULD be ok. Then your apps and settings will be there when you boot 6.0. I was just providing instructions for a fully clean flash. I would say you have a 98% chance it will be just fine though if you don't erase userdata.

EDIT* oh and IIRC you will probably get an error or weird msg with the gpt.bin part of the flash.. ignore it..

EDIT 2* Here is one such app that doesn't look like it requires root. If you go this route make sure you copy everything over to your PC after using the backup app if you are going to run the "fastboot erase userdata" command.

GOOD LUCK!

Just out of curiosity.. I've just read some posts on here about people getting their phones back from repair and their bootloader says "Device is ENGINEERING" instead of "Device is LOCKED" or "Device is UNLOCKED".

What does yours say? I'm mainly just wondering if it being in ENGINEERING mode is why you are not getting the OTA...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkey586:
Haha suppose you're right! Sure I'll probably just wipe my device in the end, be nice to have a clean go at MM haha.

The bootloader status was indeed locked so I don't know what's causing the issue?

Anyway, thanks a million for the help I'll update if/when all goes well :good:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkey586:
Despite my best efforts, it seems to have been in vain. I'm getting an error when trying to unlock the bootloader (something along the lines of no backup available, please try again) which is common to people who have sent their phone in for repair.

I'm just wondering if I could flash the firmware regardless of bootloader (Odin maybe?) At this point I'm happy to root suit and boot I'm just a bit sick of moto at this stage so want to be able to control my phone haha.

Any help much appreciated :)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMadOne:
Odin is for Samsung. Moto has RSDLite. But if your bootloader is locked the firmware package must be signed by Moto and I don't thing the ones floating around the web are.

So this is the point where it seems you're stuck with the (possibly) more PITA way. What you need to do is find the OTA zip that goes from 5.1.1 -> 6.0 and use the stock recovery to flash that with ADB. Boot to stock recovery, press button sequence to get the menu (I THINK at the fallen android dude you hold vol up for a few seconds then hit the power button while still holding it.. it's something like that to get the actual useful menu) then towards the bottom is an update via ADB, plug phone into pc via usb and select that and then in terminal do "adb sideload <OTA_file>.zip" and it will flash the OTA, assuming your device passes it's check it will feel like it's taking forever. This method won't wipe your phone either.

EDIT* HERE is a post with a link to the EU OTA and much better instructions than mine ;) You can flash it with adb sideload or like that post says by copying it to your phone before booting the recovery and flashing it.

And then.. assuming you get to 6.0 using that OTA hopefully you can trigger the february OTA to auto download. If not... HERE is a link to a post with the february OTA zip for your phone. Flash it the same as last one.

If flashing the OTA with a locked bootloader and stock recovery doesn't work I'm afraid you're either stuck or your phone is on a return path to Moto again. :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkey586:
Ah sure I'll give that a go! Just checking if there are any precautions I should be taking for this? Don't want to brick the phone without the ability to flash it back to life again!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMadOne:
You should be fine. The OTA zip is going to check all of the files it is going to patch first and only upgrade if everything passes. If it finds ANYTHING amiss... it will refuse to flash it. If it refuses to flash it your only hope is to send it to Moto unfortunately.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkey586:
You, my friend, are a hero.

That seems to have done the trick with no issues (going to see if I can potentially unlock the bootloader now) and I'm finally on MM haha. Seems I have to perform the Feb security update separately too for some reason but I'm not too worried about doing things manually.

Sent you a small token of my appreciation, have a pint on me ;)

Thanks once again
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMadOne:
Sweet! Thanks for the pint! Glad you're updated now. Did it end up giving you the OTA for the February patch or did you have to use the 2nd OTA?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkey586:
Had to use the 2nd OTA.zip but I didn't really try any of the remove sim card stuff or waiting long. No unlockable bootloader either but I'm satisfied for the moment haha.

Alright, I wanted to root my moto x play and and i tried doinng it using this tool. http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/development/tool-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3206881

Unlocking the boot loader worked fine and it got unlocked. After when i flashed on twrp, it prompted to me set up the device and so i did turning on usb debug mode. After i flashed on supersu and when i tired going into recovery mode twrp was not there. So i flashed on supersu first and then twrp and finally it worked. After i ran supersu and booted the device it doe not get past the boot loader warning. the device is readable in adb but i cant sideload and push anything onto /sdcard does not exist and when i side load i get error:closed. in device manager the phone shows up as mtp usb device but with a yellow triange. when i run the command adb usb the driver install fails. i really hope this is not a brick and i can recover.

sidenote= the sd card does not work so i can not flash another rom.

please help.

Hi - I bought a korean version of Galaxy Note 4 recently. Everthing works well except from the fact that there is some aplicattions from a Korean carrier and Korean dial keyboard. I have already downloaded two ROMs ( N910CXXS2CPB3_N910CZTO2COJ1_ZTO (Brazil), N910CXXU1COH4_N910COLB1COH3_CAM (Cambodia) ) and none of them worked. I tried these ROMs using ODIN ( Odin3_v3.10.6 ).

As I live in Brazil I was looking for a alternative to clean those korean apps and also remove Korean dial keyboard.

The current baseband is: N910LKLU0COL1

Model Number : SM-N910L

** English below **

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

Ik kom net van de telefoon van iemand van de klachtenafdeling van T-mobile. Ik had me beklaagd over het feit dat T-Mobile te kennen had gegeven niet te zullen meegaan in het overstappen naar WM6...... :(

Het tegendeel blijkt dus waar :D De allervriendelijkste medewerker stond mij te woord en zei dat ze wel bezig zijn met de update van WM5 naar WM6, maar dat een dergelijk proces helaas lang duurt.

Zij ontvangen van HTC een T-mobile ROM, deze gaan ze uitgebreid testen.

Hun bevindingen sturen ze terug naar HTC, HTC past TMobile ROM aan

En dit gaat net zo lang door tot ze de ROM goed bevinden.

Hij gaf aan dat hij niet wist wanneer precies de update ging verschijnen, maar wel dat het er zeker van gaat komen.

Dus ik hou nog even mijn adem in en hoop dat de update snel zal komen.

Ik heb dit berichtje gepost om te verifieren dat ik niet als enige blij ben gemaakt, maar dat er meerdere mensen zijn die weten dat ze druk voor ons bezig zijn om de Artemis een heuse WM6 onder de kap te geven.

cheerz

Just got of the phone with T-Mobile (NL) and they told me that T-Mobile (NL) is going to update the Artemis with WM6

The testing is taking a lot of time and they can't speed it up. But they are going te update the phone and that's whats matters!

I post this message to see if there are people who have heard a similar message. I'd hate to be alone ;-)

Probeer eens of je nog in de bootloader kan komen, dit doe je door aan/uit knop + voice dialing knop tegelijk in te drukken. Als je na enkele seconden een scherm ziet verschijnen met 3 gekleurde strepen kan je nog in de bootloader en kan je herstellen door de factory rom terug te flashen. Laat maar weten of je het gelukt is.

Nee die is er niet, en anders had je hem makkelijk zelf kunnen vinden natuurlijk. Er is wel een NL Touch rom, die heeft bijna dezelfde opties als Meschle's 3.01.

So the story is about 9 months ago my Galaxy note 4's USB port got messed up. I cannot charge my phone without using an external battery cradle, nor can I connect my phone to computer and sync/odin. I am stuck on a rooted BOB7 rom specifically the noterized rom stable 3. I know I cannot jump from BOB7 to COK1 etc... via flashing. I was wondering if the jump to marshmallow from lollipop would work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
Hmmm. let's see. I think you might be in a bad situation. You can't install ota updates if you're rooted and/or have a custom recovery. So those are the two biggest hurdles. You can use supersu to unroot so do that first. Next you will need to see if you can get a flashable stock OB7 recovery and flash it. Another thing that may be a problem is the debloated rom you're currently running. That may or may not cause problems with downloading and installing the ota's. I can make a flashable zip for you for the stock recovery but you first will need to download and flash my stock OB7 rom. Look for it here in the Sprint N4 forums.

Steps to success:

1. Download and flash stock rooted OB7 rom.

2. Use SuperSu app to unroot and uninstall supersu

3. Find a flashable stock OB7 recovery (I will provide if needed)

4. Do a factory reset by rebooting to the stock recovery

5. Once phone boots up, setup accounts, etc per usual and go to settings/system update and check for updates.

6. Let the update download and try to install it. You should have success. If it is successful then follow update instructions and once your phone is fully updated then you should check for updates again until you are fully updated to the latest MM 6.0 ota.

PM me if you need a flashable stock OB7 recovery or other help.

Good luck.

Can someone confirm with me, that sending picture messages won't go through. Or is it just me?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
Sorry for the late reply Cheryl. There is no reason not to update your software to Marshmallow 6.0. Typically updates bring improved performance and battery life as well as other software optimizations which are always better than previous software builds. You should backup your photo's etc before installing any update just in case. If you're one of those who doesn't like change and is content with your phone with it's current software then you don't have to update the software as long as there isn't a critical update that would prevent something from working on your phone unless you take the update. If everything works and your happy then you can leave it as is. But if you are interested in improved battery life and overall performance as well as new security features and policies of android, then by all means update your software the first chance you get. there are no drawbacks that i have noticed or read from any other users. Marshmallow is a go! :good:

OB7 is the newest bootloader that can be downgraded to kitkat.

on kitkat it's a lot easier to retrieve your MSL number, and at the time there was no xposed for Samsung lolly
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherylbaker:
So that was it. You cannot downgrade to kk? I am sure at the time that was important but i havnt had any interest in downgrading b4 so doubt i will now. I know bob7 was the most popular for roms at the time also but honestly i am past my flashaholic phase and just want to havebrhe best phone i can.

Is there hot spot and root for mm? Hotspot is probably the only thing i really care about and even that isn't as important these days

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterist:
if you don't have your MSL, and don't know where to find/how to get Galaxy Tools, and you still have a while left on contract, it wouldn't hurt to downgrade and grab your MSL first then jump straight to MM :)

Does anyone have a link to a stock OB7 recovery? All that I find are the odin variants.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterist:
I don't know how to extract it from a .tar but I know it can be acquired it like this:

1. full backup in TWRP

2. copy the backup to pc for safekeeping

3. odin full OB7 stock tar

4. without flashing TWRP, root using CF auto root*

5. install Flashify from Google Play

6. backup recovery

7. copy the backup to pc for uploading

*I don't know which version (if applicable) as I never use that method to root. sorry :(

obviously you wouldn't be able to do this yourself, you would need someone on the forum with OB7 bootloader to do this, and honestly, without knowing how to extract / find it in the.tar I still think that would take a lot less time and effort than this method lol
