[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
You should download this firmware:

XT1097_VICTARA_ATT_5.1_LPES23.32-21.9-3_cid1_CFC.xml.zip

Did you install these USB drivers?

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Type:

fastboot getvar all

to check exactly what hardware you have
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
How would I install that firmware? I cant find a way to get anything on it. I typed that in and it's just saying waiting for device. Do I need to do something else to get that to work?

Oh, and yes I did install those drivers.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
I should have specified typing commands in Bootloader Mode, are you able to get into Bootloader Mode?

Firmware can be flashed with fastboot in bootloader mode, the commnads are in the flashfile.xml file.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
Yes I can get into bootloader mode. Flashfile.xml file? And for the firmware you listed above, I found a site with it but it was all in chinese, is that the correct one?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
No, get it from here:

https://mega.nz/#F!ow8igZRL!Z7vmN8GOpez2bVMYDvEKkg!IkEVHRxS

or here:

http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2nd gen-2014)/Stock/XT1097/

But you have to be sure fastboot is sending commands to the phone. Have you ever used RSDLite?

Did you have stock Lollipop 5.1 before you put CM on it?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
Okay downloading it now. And I've never used it, but I read somewhere about it earlier today and I have it installed on my computer. And yes, I did have the Lollipop 5.1 before I put the CM on it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
You should boot into bootloader mode, then connect the usb cable, and check if the phone says "connected"

Then type

fastboot getvar all

To make sure fastboot is actually working
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
Okay I did that and a bunch of stuff came up. I've attached two snapshots of what came up.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
Yes it looks like fastboot is working, you should delete those screenshots now.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
Oh. Okay got them deleted. Didnt think they'd show anything personal?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
After the firmware is done downloading, extract it and check how many system.img_sparsechunk files you have, like 0 - 9? 0 - 8? 0 - 7?

Put the 4 ADB/Fastboot files in the folder with the firmware files:

adb.exe

fastboot.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

Sort of, unique to your own phone, like IEMI, Serial Number, etc.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
How do I check how many of the system.img sparsechunk files? And these ADB/Fastboot files? So I'd just move those 4 to the same folder where I extract the android firmware? (Sorry, a little confusing to me still). Ah gotcha, thanks for letting me know!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
Those files look dated (2014?)

Unzip the firmware file and look at the files.

Here are the latest ADB/Fastboot 24 rc2
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
New thing just happened. I went into recovery from the bootloader, and now it shows my internal storage. Would putting CM on it from there work? Or would I need to also put super su as well? Or neither and just wait for the android firmware to download?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USA1791:
Oh thanks, I guess they are dated lol.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
No don't flash supersu, it causes problems

Yes try copying the CM and Gapps zips to you phone, and try flashing them with TWRP...

which version TWRP you have on the phone?

Here's an early preview of Marshmallow for most of us. This will work on ANY S2. So may I present to you for your flashing pleasure....

Neked Nook​

See post #2 for init.d Kernels, extras and more info

Features:

Not Full ROMs - Neked_Nook_Maker- DO NOT DO ANY WIPES!!!! Just flash it.

Will flash on ANY S2.

Kernel is NOT in this Just flash it and go.

busybox

init.d scripts

Must flash an init.d kernel if you want the scripts in it to work - But will work with stock kernels - See post #2 for init.d kernels

V1 - removes all Downloadable apps. All Google Apps

V2 - removes everything from the full ROM Google, Samsung, MS, Hancom. It'll look like the pic below

MM users: I would highly recommend using SYSTEMMODE 2.74 for root. It works everytime

Install instructions for the "Maker"

Must have root and TWRP installed

Just Flash over any existing ROM (L or M, New and Old S2's - Don't do ANY wipes

Read This post and This post , And another novel if you have any issues.

Possible bugs

5g wifi above 40 doesn't work. But you still have 5g wifi

xposed- just not a fan. It affects performance

Restores from anything - not a fan of Tb either. It creates issues also.

____________________________________

Older

Full Rom 710 ONLY

Based on T710XXU2CPD9_BTU

Root

Busybox

Almost all Samsung apps removed

Bloat removed

/data/app -Estrong explorer

Removed almost all downloadable apps from /system - give the Tab some wiggle room.

init.d support in kernel

init.d scripts

Probably other stuff I can't remember

You MUST ODIN M first if you want to use this ROM!!!

This must be a clean install to work. No restoring either from Tb or TWRP or...[/SIZE][/B] - ONLY FOR THE FULL ROM

Bootloader MUST be "2". as in 2BPB1, 2CPD9. Not a "1" If you're not sure, look in "About", software and Build id or #

In TWRP, wipe /system, /cache, /data, /dalvic

Flash ROM

Profit!!

***Do not flash ANY SuperSU OR ROOTING APP!!!!! - YOU WILL BREAK ROOT!!!!! - or at least have a broken root.

Also DO NOT FLASH ANY GAPPS!!!! They are already built in.***

Notes:

On first boot you can sign in to Samsung if you want. It'll give you an option to restore.

SU will need to be updated. Just do it through the Playstore.

M is still in it's early stages, so be VERY CAREFUL! AND READ!!

***Do not flash ANY SuperSU OR ROOTING APP!!!!! - YOU WILL BREAK ROOT!!!!! - or at least have a broken root.

Additional files and info

See/Read THIS post.

Take the app/apps you want to add from the zip and place it in the correct "Add_apps_flashable" folder Then flash in TWRP. These will all work correctly as long as the app has all the extra apps needed. It'll be your job to figure out what's needed. :p

Add_apps_flashable

V1_Removed_apps

710_init.d_Kernel - Already included in the ROM.

810_initd_kernel

I need boot.img for any other S2's that want init.d support. Pulled from the .tar or from TWRP. As long as it's boot.???, it'll work. So don't worry about the extension.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I need some feedback on this also. Especially if you HAVE NOT Odin'd M yet. M Is so new that I"m still trying to figure it out.

Make sure you read the OP and post #2. As I will not help you if you didn't follow directions posted. At least until I get a stable base. :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] donky kong 017:
This should not be a request or anything.

I just wanted to ask of there are any possibilities for a t715 version as it is already available and the "for now" in op left me thinking.

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JekyllInside:
I was on Neek PB1, I did a full wipe except internal and external storage. After flash this first releace, I got a bootloop. I'm going to try again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Possibly? I'm gonna try and get all the roms together if I can. But the different markets may make that too difficult and time consuming.

The nice thing is we ALL seem to be getting 6.0.1. Finally all of us on the same Android.

I need to find out some things first, as my attempt at the 815 hasn't been working. That might be in my end. Give me some time. :)

That doesn't sound good. :(

Did you have xposed installed, by chance?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JekyllInside:
Yes I have, but a did a FULL WIPE, it must not remain after that. I tried again with just a factory reset after flash my PB1 nandroid backup. NADA. Bootloop again. I checked MD5 checksum of the file and they match again what a android file host says. I'm going to do again, this time, formating DATA besides the full backup. I will keep you posted.

UPDATE: No luck. Even formating DATA. Bootloop.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] donky kong 017:
Very nice.. Seemed like our tab did not get much attention in the last month.

So great to see some development in the forum again.

Take all the time you need.

Thank you

Hey [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] all is well here but as you know already I Odin'd MM
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Broncos15:
Bootloop here also. Did a full wipe including system, but when booting it hangs on the galaxy tab splash screen then reboots:eek:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lewmur:
Apparently this ROM is based on the UK version, so am I correct in assuming that 5g wifi doesn't work?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
[MENTION=4588796]JekyllInside[/MENTION] [MENTION=6263509]Broncos15[/MENTION] since you are the only 2 I know of with issues installing this out of 21 DL's so far, here's what I need you to do/follow:

1. Make sure your TWRP is 3.0.0.2 - the most current.

2. Remove your ext sd card, and put the ROM on int sd so you can install it.

3. In TWRP, select "Wipe", "Advanced", and select /cache, /data, /system, and /dalvic

4. Install the ROM

If it bootloops, gets stuck, what ever, then boot back into TWRP

Flash this kernel 1st. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533100289590241

if it still hangsup, boot back into TWRP

Flash this kernel 2nd. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533100289590242

Let me know how it goes, and/or which kernel worked for you so I can add it to post #2 for others to use.

I haven't had time to check that. But even if it doesn't, you can't have it all right off the bat. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lewmur:
I wasn't complaining, just asking. 5g is a necessity for me, so there is no point in even trying the ROM if it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I know that. I was just messing with you. Hence, the wink. Sorry if I offended you.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JekyllInside:
I did it that way yesterday, I will use the alternative kernels and I will keep you posted. Not today, but tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Broncos15:
I tried both kernels, no luck with latest twrp. I will try to install the stock image first with twrp because I have no windows PC to work with, I'll let you know how it goes
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] llawen:

Systemless works on any device running 5.1.1 >> not just Samsung.

Infact I have it working on my Tab S running 5.0.2 after modifying the install script.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Dont know if my issue is related... on V1 and everything was working fine till last week. Since then the tablet either re-starts and stays stuck on Samsung Logo.. I then have to power/volume up/home button to boot into TWRP and wipe. Then it gets back working and have to re-download my apps again. Any fixes :confused:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] mattbeau:
I still haven't had problems. Maybe it's a rogue app

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Either one should be fine. I'd flash the init.d kernel first from post#2, then either version.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Diversion:
Rom is amazing.. but sometimes it just instantly reboots without any rhyme or reason and immediately shows the Samsung booting up logo but never starts up again.. It will do this until the battery is dead.

Only way for me to fix is go back into recovery and reflash the rom where it will last for another few days and then randomly blow up.

Wifi Only USA 710 model.

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Same exact issue here! This even happens with the ROM without any extra apps..

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
That's very strange. And apparently, I can't recreate it to see what's happening. I've had no issues whatsoever.

It's got to be a rogue app. Maybe you flashed SU again?

All I can suggest is to clean install, or maybe try a factory reset. And don't restore anything from TWRP, Tbu, etc. And don't flash any SU as it's already in it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Josephigloe:
I had same issue with reboots but mine would reboot and then bootloop.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Diversion:
I'm definitely not flashing SU over.. Only the ROM.. I wipe data, system, cache, dalvik three times before flashing the ROM.. Then I flash the ROM.. and simply reboot.. Everything is good for a while then it will just reboot randomly and bootloop forever.

I even tried this without installing any new apps and it still happens.. Shrug. If it's a rogue app, it's in the rom, nothing i'm adding to it..

Or we have faulty memory that the rom is triggering somehow.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Maybe try dirty flashing it. So just flash it on top of the ROM. I'm really not sure what to say.

I'm pretty sure the logs are gone if bootlooping. Are any apps updating when it's flashed?

SU is probably updating. What version is it showing?

I'm running it for a few weeks now and it's still fine. Maybe I'll reinstall it again and see if I can get it to do it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] flamand:
I hope someone can help me with this. I've installed the v1 full rom, wiped cache & dalvik. Except for the built-in file manager, I don't have write access to the external card.

I know this is a common problem but I haven't seen a solution with this Neked Nook or other device's roms.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
When you first use a rooted explorer, you'll need to choose ext SD. So you'll need to point the explorer to it.

With Estrong, I can't remember what it asks, but go through the selections and select the ext SD. It'll start with a letter on M.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] flamand:
When you say Estrong, is that the same thing as ES File Explorer?

Thanks for the info. I tried something similar in FX and I have access there as well.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] beitme:
Runs great on MM

Running v2 on a 710 (from hong kong)

Don't know what SYSTEMODE for root is. I'm using superSU.

Thanks for the work!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
SuperSU can root systemless and system (systemmode). Systemmode is the old tried and true that just works. Systemless is, or can still give people problems. But it's the way of the future.

If systemless works for you then just stay with it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] rumrunner4000:
Further to post #186-190

I was having the same problem, boot loop after battery strength dropped below 80%.

I found a solution on my 4th clean install, Do a clean install, next flash the permissive Kernel Permissive_MM-710. The only other thing I did was decline the request to optimize the power of seldom used apps.

I tested for a week, battery down to 21% recharged and in use now without any issues. I'm suspecting that the power management is interfering with the Kernel include in the full ROM.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] :) Been a little while. I was just wondering if you were planning on adding any mods to your builds. It has been running flawless with your maker script and I'm not sure how your time looks these days, but a couple nice additions IMO would be status bar brightness slider, center clock with date and the ability to get rid of some of the icons off the status bar. :) Like I said not sure how your time looks, but was just wondering if you'd given it any thought. :cowboy:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I have thought about stuff, but no Android time. I have a V3 in pieces for over a month now and no time to put it together. I think it mostly removed Knox.

If things ever slow down, I'll start doing more again. The ROM, some mods and the kernel. At least M is running really good, so there's not a lot of things that need fixing. Finally.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
:) OK, no problems. M is running great and your maker removed a lot of stuffs that I wouldn't have know to be safe to remove myself. With your tweak and a little xposed magic, I can get about 10 hours screen on time when reading and doing lighter tasks. :good:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] juniorr7710:

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
There's 3 or 4 others having this issue now. And I have no idea why. Maybe one of them can chime in? I'm assuming you mean the 710 ROM. Not the Maker.

I'm still running that rom with no issues and I can't duplicate it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Yes the 710 ROM.. I would say it happens every 2 weeks at most from what I been noticing
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] mankvl:
I can relate to that problem too. All was ok for like 2 weeks, ROM was super fast no problems at all. Woke up today with a boot looped tablet, tried wiping cash and davlik did not help, now at work will try flashing permissive kernel but don't think it will help :/ Any way it could do smth with busybox or some samsung knox crap? I don't even use xposed :( Rly loved the ROM :(
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
The only thing I can think of that I probably did different than everyone, was formatted /data.

So in TWRP, under advanced, wipe the 4, then format /data where you have to type out "yes" so format it. MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! It will wipe your int sd! Then flash the ROM.

My reasoning is because M does things differently with the sd's.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeap...well M and Samsung. I figured out that the way Sammy is set up is that it virtually considers ext SD as internal storage. So there's kind of a strange relationship between the internal SD and external SD. The only way I found to move apps reliably from the internal SD to ext is to use an xposed module called OBB to SD. Any other regular app to SD app won't work. So to get back to the topic, could be a data format is needed. :)

[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] just reflashed the ROM with format data and now all works. Any one noticed that with MM launcher grid is smaller? A little bit annoying, any way to increase it without using other launcher?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Lol, guess everybody is stumped. :p Unless there's an xposed mod that will do it, think you'll need a launcher. Two launchers I like are the venerable Nova and Next launcher. Both work really good and are the most stable out of the lot I've tried. :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Diversion:
I always format system, cache, data, etc.. everything except for the internal storage and I still get the random bootloops. Interestingly, the first time I connect it to my work's wifi connection, it what seems to cause it to bootloop.. Must be certain wifi networks that triggers this function. I never bootlooped at home.. Only when I try to connect it to work.

So it's related to Wifi (for me anyways).
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
What S2 is this on? Formatting internal storage will fix it on the older S's. 710, 810, 715 and 815.

If you're on the newer S2, whatever those numbers are, you may need the kernels that ashyx has just put out. They are in the TWRP thread for those models. He's just released 2 new ones.

Let me know which model you're on. And, if the newer ones, if those kernels fixed it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Diversion:
710 (old version).. I'll try wiping internal and let you know!
