Hey, i would be careful with this, if you get caught they can run a history on your account and see how long youve been doing this and charge you retro on it. I had a friend who was doing this and he had to pay the full price for 2 years of service. Not only that, they consider it a Federal Offense just like stealing cable.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostcelt:
I purchased outright this Moto E 4G LTE from Staples.

It's not locked to any single carrier and I more than likely will use it as a pocket computer, rather than a talk and text phone.

The details from within the phone are as follows:

Model Number - Moto E (2nd Generation) with 4G LTE

Hardware SKU - XT1527

Android Version - 5.0.2

Baseband version - M8916_200608.08.02.58.15R SURNIA_RETCA_CUST

Kernel version - 3.10.49-gb86829a hudsoncm@ilclbld33 #1 Tue Aug 4 14:44:21 CDT 2015

System version - 22.46.8.surnia_retca.retca.en.CA retca

Build number - LXI22.50-53.8

This is my first plunge into the world of unlocking, rooting, and flashing Android OS.

So far I've been able to gather that cybojenix and squid2 have highly regarded threads and downloads related to the Moto E 4G LTE but the high volume of custom roms, TWRP files, modem files, gapps, patches to fix issues with the camera and patches to eliminate a warning message that warns of a rooted bootloader, etc have left me somewhat overwhelmed lost. I am in need of a short list of what I absolutely need to do what I want to do, and some hints of what extras would work best with my phone in terms of custom roms or whatever relevant.

I'd like to root my phone so that I can run a specific app not related to xdadevelopers. My needs are mostly related to security and anonymity because in my professional life I conduct social research with vulnerable populations and the ethics of my profession dictate a strict code of conduct in this vein.

[As an aside --The app I use unobtrusively requests root access and I fully trust the app since I am very familiar with its history and development to date. The app is found found at f-droid if anyone is interested in checking out f-droid's offerings.]

My questions are these:

What version of twrp-surnia-3.0.0-r*.img will my Moto E work with?

Motorola says my Android Version 5.0.2 is fully up to date when I try to use the in-phone System Updates feature from the About Phone tab in Settings. However I've read in XDAdevelopers that this version of Android can run into problems when using a later version of TWRP.

Can I install a flavour of CM13 straight from Android Version 5.0.2 or do I need to somehow install an Android Version of 5.1 as a first step?

What flavour of CM (Custom ROM) works best with this phone?

I recognize this thread is a bit long winded but I hope to have provided all the necessary details required to seek help from the many expert coders, programmers, and operators dedicated to xda-developers.

Thank you for taking time to read this, and many more thanks if you happen to contribute to any of the solutions that might follow.

Have a wonderful evening.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
The basic steps you need to follow are:

Unlock your bootloader

Flash the XT1527 RETUS 5.1 modem (see http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/help/moto-e-2015-modems-t3296044)

Flash the latest TWRP (my 3.0.1-r1 build as of this moment, see http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/development/twrp-squid-twrp-recovery-moto-e-lte-t3137649)

From TWRP, go into advanced wipe and erase system, data, cache, and dalvik

Flash CM13 + gapps together in TWRP

Apart from the modem, you don't have to upgrade anything else.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpmule:
I choose to avoid Cm after reading up on it.

I prefer to use the Stock ROM etc

BUT!

I Root it with SuperSU then make my own Bootlogo + Animation

Then i use Squid's Kernel + Squid's TWRP and No-frills CPU Control (to use some of the options Squid's kernel has)

I believe my setup is cleaner and has more stable support and easier to do learn etc.

I checked on what features CM offers and none of it sound like anything i wanted.

I also don't want to have to fiddle around with Gapps or whatever.

I also seen some drawbacks before with some features on the stock Rom that do not work on CM.

I think most people use it simply because it's popular.

Evaluate your options and choose what is right for you.

First thing you want to do is check if you can unlock your bootloader.

Since your from Canada i bet you can.. i did on mine.

Squid's stuff plus Stock Android is good.. in my opinion better than CM.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostcelt:
Thank you for responding to my questions, squid2. I am very much honored to have had you taken the time to write on my behalf, this is certainly something to which I feel very privledged.

For the sake of clarity and accuracy I will quickly repeat the steps I just took after reading your answer to this thread. If you do not write into this thread a second time I will assume the steps I just took are indeed the correct ones.

1. I went to http://xdaforums.com/moto...odems-t3296044 as you directed and downloaded only the one folder titled Modem, ignoring the larger file that includes another three folders in addition to the Modem folder (the larger file containing all the four files is 25.79GB, whereas the single Modem folder is just 561MB).

2. I then unzipped the Modem folder and selected the SURNIA-RETUS_5.1.zip, ignoring the SURNIA-RETUS_5.1_new.zip which is also in the Modem folder. (The newer SURNIA-RETUS_5.1_new.zip file is two days newer than the other SURNIA-RETUS_5.1.zip file, but since they are both in the same Modem folder I am taking that to mean I should follow your original instructions precisely as directed. Both files are about the same size, except that the newer file is slightly smaller than the other.)

Again, thank you. Your instructions were vital in enabling me to move forward on this task. We need a bitcoin tip jar for people who take time to help others.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostcelt:
Thank you, xpmule. I had been wondering whether it was a good idea to install CM or to use a stock Rom. From what I've been reading the Moto E version of Android is fairly bloat-free and since I really only need a rooted phone there is no real need for CM.

I've learned more than once that messing around with unfamiliar OS can be a recipe for disaster after foolishly timing updates of a Linux or BSD OS when I have papers due or exams to study for.

I'll take some more time to research the other options you recommended and then follow your lead with respect to this phone.

Again I'd like to thank both squid2 and yourself for helping me on this, and may I suggest that people who provide meaningful assistance such as this put a bitcoin wallet addres in their signature so that people like me can show our gratitude .
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpmule:
I Support Bitcoin and i think i said that to Squid before too LOL

But i have before refused some for helping people more than once.

My help is not as much as Squid's though.. he puts in effort for his public projects LOL

I don't think you will see him giving advice too much either.. at least i haven't.

So Squid.. GET a Bitcoin address man ;)

OP good luck.. i think Moto's Android is fairly bloat free.. The stuff Moto put on there is good.

Like the twist the phone to activate the camera app or the app that tweaks the notifications.

I am happy myself just modding the stock firmware.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostcelt:
Thank you squid2, I followed your directions exactly as prescribed and I am now rocking the lastest nightly build of CM on my Moto E. It was fairly easy and I can confirm that everything works just fine.

And thank you as well, xpmule. I was going to follow your instructions too but when I got to a certain point in my process and my phone asked if I was sure I wanted to reboot even though there was no OS installed, well I had one of those moments.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

Now it's time to explore this CM OS and see what all the fanfare is really about. :D)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] macegoth:
This has been bugging the living crap out of me and I am not sure what the solution is. When I get into HBOOT and select Recovery it goes to the HTC screen, says Entering Recovery..., and then goes back to fastboot. I have flashed the recommended recoveries from TWRP (2.7.0.1) and CWM (Philz) and get the same result from both. I also cleared the cache before flashing and after flashing based on other posts I have found around the forums. Does anyone know what would possibly cause this issue? Bootloader has been unlocked as well.

HBOOT-3.18.0.0000

RADIO-1.08.20.0707_2

OS-1.12.651.1

I am just trying to get in the recovery to flash the new MM roms out there. Any help is appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
You're firmware is VERY old. You should update it. Also, those "recommended recoveries" are not so recommended
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] macegoth:
So basically I broke down and bought a license for Sunshine and now my phone is S-OFF. I am still not able to install any updates because recovery isn't working. What steps should I take to fix these issues such as what updates and recovery to attempt to flash for 1.12.651.1

I am new to this and I am just really frustrated by this issue and not quite understanding what I need to do. Thanks for any help!

1. Download and flash this firmware... 6.20.651.3 Full Firmware...(fastboot flashable): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059188

2. Follow these instructions on how to flash said firmware...

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder

-boot into bootloader

-plug in usb

-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)

-type fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type fastboot reboot-bootloader (normally you would just reboot but the new kernel/boot.img may prohibit that from happening)

3. Click this link towards the top of the page to download the latest RUU

Sprint_HTC_One_M8_non-HK_6.20.651.3_RUU

4. Right click downloaded RUU and Run as Admin (it will take 10+ mins so be patient)

5. You should now be updated to MM

6. Download the latest TWRP from here https://dl.twrp.me/m8/ ( make sure the bootloader is unlocked)

7. Flash a rooted MM rom or download and flash the latest SuperSU from here https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

Sidenote:

If you are having problems connecting to data and making calls after going through this process you might have to go back and flash the modified firmwares(boot.img and recovery removed) from the version you are on now to the latest...reason being is each update may include bits you don't have with the latest.

When I purchased the phone it said HTC One M8 and the CID-SPCS_001 looks like it is an M8 as well. Looking up the M9 I know it is not that one because this phone is a white plastic body with only an 8MP camera. It is the same innards, but has lower grade parts for the body and camera.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varounmirchi:
I was wondering that with TWRP 3.0, it is possible to convert the file system to f2fs. The performance in f2fs seems to be far greater when compared to ext4. Has anyone tried converting the x play to f2fs? If so, what all ROMs are compatible with it?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claudineimatos:
I don't think it's possible to convert a filesystem to another, you'll probably need to format your partition in f2fs, so make a backup first.

Also, note that f2fs is designed to take advantage of nand-based storage. Have a look at http://www.xda-developers.com/f2fs-put-to-the-test-against-ext4/
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnHorus:
As far as I know, you do need to format in order to convert. I don't think any kind of conversion tool exists at this point, or may ever exist. I remember reading that there's only really a benefit to making the data partition f2fs (and perhaps the cache as well? I'm pretty tired atm so I can't confirm that.) If so, you should be able to format Data without reinstalling the ROM. Correct me if I'm mistaken!

Be aware that while f2fs is definitely faster, filesystems are relatively simple things that wind themselves into complex knots when put into action. So, despite f2fs being optimized for NAND, it hasn't been thoroughly tested the way EXT4 and others have. You could always run into some issues with data loss or other confusing bugs. Because of this, it's probably also safer to leave the System partition as EXT4, if you even can/would want to make it f2fs.

I'd also like to know if anyone has gotten f2fs working on the Moto X Play, [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] has f2fs driver updates listed in the changelog for his kernel, although it may also take support in the ROM to fully implement. Please let us know if you get it running! The performance is significantly faster, and it's also less wear-and-tear on the memory, if I understand correctly.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varounmirchi:
Actually TWRP allows to convert the file system to f2fs (yes by formatting it obviously). Its usually recommended to convert the /data and the /cache partitions for optimum results. I had a Yu Yuphoria before this, and I had converted the file system to f2fs, and the performance was whooping fast.

And I did see that [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] has mentioned f2fs support in his kernel (i guess it comes directly from CAF) but I wanted to know which ROMs do support it? So far I don't see "f2fs supported" mentioned in any of the ROMs for our device and thats why I am still on hold.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
We're already using f2fs. Even the stock ROM uses f2fs for the userdata partition.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaviLerma:
So can we use f2fs with your Kernel and CM13? Data and cache partitions?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnHorus:
Cache shows up as ext4 in TWRP, for me at least. Would that benefit from switching to f2fs?

Edit: Tried formatting the cache as f2fs, no boots.

F2fs does use a log, but still, it took up 128MB of the cache partition, seems kinda weird unless the partition actually grows to accomodate that. Maybe I did something wrong, idk.

Hello Folks,

This is my first post.

I have a HTC wildfire s a510e with broken screen. I went to a local shop for changing the digitiser.

The problem is I tried a couple of different digitizers but all of them were having the same problem.In all of them the part of the screen above the back button including the button was unresponsive.Whenever pressed harder it worked either as the portion above options button or search button. I tried the calibration process mentioned in one of the posts but it doesn't seems to work.

Marshmallow will start rolling out around the end of May/beginning of June.

But it's your choice. If you are considering the 5.5" variant,then it's the best out of the three.

Same if you are considering the 4.7" variant. It is still better than the G Stylo and Escape.

Idols are pretty solid phones for the price, it's gonna be kinda hard to beat them. Don't let the android version stop you, marshmallow or not they are great.

I have the LG Stylo from T-Mobile, and the idol international version on cricket, but using AT&T Apn with great success. In my opinion, the Stylo is a much more solid device, with removable battery, incredible memory management, and already has marshmallow. The idol can't be beat for music though, and hopefully marshmallow will fix high all the time memory usage. Just don't get the cricket version of either of these, as the hardware and software are lesser. I happily use both, and have Google voice for handling the number integration. Have the idol on cricket's inexpensive plan, and it comes in handy when I travel to have AT&T service [emoji51]

I have had this phone through Cricket since Nov. 2015, and i loved it until the patch came through. I have now had to have it replaced twice because it will turn off on its own, when i try and use Google play music it locks the phone screen immediately. I think all of the bugs are A) due to Crickets bloat wear or B) due to the bugginess of 5.0.2. Has anyone else experience any flaws and glitches? I LOVED this phone up until this point and now i want to throw it at a wall, or move back to the ZTE Max Plus (2) since it just dropped.
