Hello my fellow countrymates,

After lots of trial-and-error and tweaking, I finally made the latest MM 6.0.1 firmware - MPHS 24.107-58 - RETEU (May) work for our RETLA-DS (Dual Sim) variant! This firmware is the latest 6.0.1, released for European variants, and I can tell you it's MUCH better than the latest official 6.0 firmware for our variant. If you flash it as-is, you end up with no SIM cards detected; only wifi and bluetooth work. But, no more! So, let's get down to business...

DISCLAIMER: follow these procedures at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any loss of data, malfunction, loss of warranty, damage to your device etc. and any consequences coming from that.

DISCLAIMER 2: this is NOT FOR NOOBS. I won't teach you basic stuff like how to use fastboot, adb, replace build.prop etc. If you don't understand what it's all about, don't do it, as you may (soft/hard-)brick your device.

1) If you have another custom firmware installed, boot into recovery first, and:

1.1) Make an EFS backup;

1.2) Wipe everything (system / data / cache etc.). Make a backup first if you want to preserve your data;

1.3) Reboot into bootloader.

2) Download the original firmware and follow the procedures from @BooBzi 's thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1572-mm-twrp-root-xposed-t3276792

The download has been kindly provided by @Prazaar (filename XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPHS24.107-58-1.zip).

Follow the procedures there, except the following lines:

fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock

In other words, don't relock your bootloader, as we need it unlocked for the rest of the procedures.

3) Reboot. Confirm that wifi and bluetooth work, but your SIM cards are not detected.

4) Reboot into bootloader.

5) Download the latest official MM 6.0 firmware - MPHS 24.49-18-4 - RETLA-DS-Brazil (May) from here:

https://motox-brasil.blogspot.com.br/2016/06/firmware-moto-x-style-xt1572-firmware.html

Unpack it somewhere. We just need to flash one file from this firmware.

6) Flash only the following, from the original Brazilian variant firmware:

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

7) Flash the TWRP recovery for the next steps (optional but recommended). Search the forums:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img

8) Replace the file /system/build.prop with the one attached here. This is a tweaked version I made, merging the original build.prop from the 6.0.1-RETEU with the 6.0-RETLA-DS (only the important parts). You can do that from the TWRP recovery. Remember to keep the original owner and permissions (root:root, 644). You may backup your original build.prop before replacing.

9) Optional: root (use SuperSU-2.62-3), install Xposed etc.

THAT'S IT!! Enjoy. Share your experiences here, as I originally did a slightly different procedure in step 6) during some trial-and-error, but my conclusion is that you can do only what I wrote there.

Hello,

I did everything you sad. But I'm stuck on a frozen bootlogo.

I don't know what's wrong...

TkU!

Obs: Problem came after replace built.prop to system.

Obs2: Permissions solved built.prop trouble, but SIM cards are not usable.

How do you replace build.prop using the recovery, i can't see system files in the file manager of it.

Edit: solved the problem, working like a charm, but only flashing fsg.mbn did not work for me i had to use

"

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

Guys, one question. Did you note better or worst battery lifetime after update?

Enviado de meu XT1572 usando Tapatalk
[X Style (Pure) General] dollarbr:
I'm a "jackpot winner" since i always had a great battery life on my MXP (the brazilian XT1572 "Style" to be exact).

This is my battery daily use, i get mostly 5h SoT, it always merge crunchyroll/mx player/youtube into "Diversos" (don't ask me why).

The "fixed version" posted here gives me pretty much the same ammount of battery life (i'll updates this info, since i'm using it for the seconds day [still 89% at the moment i'm writting this])

Please, could someone, kindly, upload Brazilian and European modems, fsg and Bluetooth archives, please?

[X Style (Pure) General] dollarbr:
I uploaded them here

Obs: i tried using the 'br versions" of fsg, non-hlos and btfm, it ****ed up everything, just use the fsg and if that does not work i recommend using only erase modemst1 and erase modemst2.

[X Style (Pure) General] rodrigoger:
My brother,

1) Wipe all.

2) Install European rom. Install twrp and root.

3) Flash only brazilian fsg and erase modemst1 and modemst2.

4) Use root Explorer or ES file Explorer to substitute build.prop with THE SAME PERMISSIONS (644).

5) Reboot.

When I tried it the first time, I couldn't get my SIM cards recognized, no matter what. As I made a nandroid backup before I started the process (as I always do that anyway and also it's also recommended on the OP), I restored my EFS backup and that did the trick.

Now everything is working just fine! :good:

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

If you have a backup, you could try to restore your EFS. I had the same problem: my SIM cards were not being detected even after flashing the Brazilian fsg and using the tweaked build.prop. The SIM cards were only detected again after I restored my EFS backup.

I canÂ´t make both chips to work simultaneously. I did exactly as you said. I am able to see both signal bars, however they are empty. No signal at all. I noticed that both IMEI numbers are null.

Can someone, pls help me?? Pleasee!!
[X Style (Pure) General] rodrigoger:
Go back

Go back to stock, then try again.

That's my suggestion.
[X Style (Pure) General] joker2mbr:
During the upgrade process, I had a problem just like yours and the only solution that worked for me was restoring my EFS through TWRP. This way everything worked fine (I have both SIMs working). If you did a full backup of your system using TWRP (your EFS should be included) before you made the upgrade, maybe you can try to restore your EFS too.
[X Style (Pure) General] leoaboin:
Where can I find the TWRP´s backup?

First of all, thanks a lot for your time! Lucky me I did a full backup before experiencing with new ROM´s, so my EFS should be within this backup, right? I never used the restore option so I am pretty much noob in this subject. I would appreciate your help again. Thank you!

Thanks!!
[X Style (Pure) General] joker2mbr:
So you do have a nandroid backup... Good! If you didn't change anything on the backup options (it's shown by TWRP before the backup process is started), a working copy of your EFS should be within your nandroid backup. To restore this EFS from the nandroid backup, just boot your Moto X to access the recovery (TWRP), then select restore, and then leave only the EFS option checked (leave all other options unchecked: data, system, etc.). Then click restore. After the restore process is done (it should take only a few seconds), reboot your smartphone to system and check if your SIM cards are detected and if your IMEIs are restored.

Good luck! :)

@dbolivar ,

There's an updated security patch for the EU 6.0.1 ROM (from September, 2016). The security patch is an OTA file (recovery zip update file) and can be applied when you have an unmodified EU 6.0.1 ROM installed. To apply the patch, I did just that: I reinstalled the EU 6.0.1 ROM, didn't modify anything on the ROM, and right after it booted, I applied the security patch. It worked without issues... Then I followed the process you described on the OP and flashed the fsg from the Brazilian 6.0 ROM.

As the build.prop from the ROM after applying the September security patch is a little different from the one from the original ROM (which is from May), I used this new build.pro as base and applied the same tweaks you did on the original EU 6.0.1 ROM (from May).

Once again I had to use a backup from my EFS, because my IMEIs were lost and the SIM cards were not detected after I did all the process. After restoring the EFS, everything seems to be working fine. So, now I have the EU 6.0.1 ROM with the September security patch applied and with Wifi and both SIMs working fine here, in Brazil (both SIMs are Vivo, from S. Paulo). :D
[X Style (Pure) General] leoaboin:
Nandroid backup was wiped out....

I did a backup, however it was wiped up when I had to do I clean up to install a new ROM, so unfortunately, I don´t have it anymore :crying: Thanks anyways for your suggestion.
[X Style (Pure) General] joker2mbr:
Are you sure your nandroid backup was wiped? It wasn't necessary to wipe the internal or external SD cards to install this ROM... So your nandroid backups shouldn't be wiped on the process. Just data, cache and Dalvik / ART cache had to be wiped.

Anyway, don't you have any other older backups? You might have your EFS backed up there. I think it's worth checking this out too.
[X Style (Pure) General] leoaboin:
I don´t see any other solution than flash the 6.0 dual SIM variant and hope to work.

I think I will have to flash the 6.0 ROM dual SIM variant and hope to have it working... I am almost giving up trying. :(:(:(
[X Style (Pure) General] leoaboin:
Totally screwd up! :(

Man, I donÂ´t know anything else to do. I flashed back stock ROM 6.0 LATAM and still 2 empty signal bars. Phone lost both IMEI numbers. Have anyone had this issue before?? I want my phone back!! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[X Style (Pure) General] joker2mbr:
It really looks like you don't have any EFS backups, otherwise restoring it could probably solve your issue.

You could try to reflash your modem using the files from the original Brazilian 6.0 ROM.

Take a look at this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64752951&postcount=8 . Please try to execute the commands described on this post, using the Brazilian 6.0 ROM. Maybe it helps solving your issue (it will help you reflashing the modem). I'm assuming you have fastboot working on your system.

Good luck!
[X Style (Pure) General] leoaboin:
SOLVED! :(

Here is the solution... it�s in portuguese brazil so foreigners will have to ask someone to translate for them. Despite that, I am glad cause it solved my problem. It restaured my baseband so now I have both networks working just fine. Thanks you all for your help! ;)

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. My HTC 1 (UK, Unlocked) was rooted and had TWRP. The 1.80.401 update is now out, so I did the following:

-Restored Stock System

-Restored Stock Recoverd

-Factory reset the phone

-Download the update

Now after the download, the phone reboots and the OTA is applied, but it gets to 25% then displayed a strange red exclamation mark. I can reboot, and the phone still works but the software hasnt been upgraded.

Could someone please help me? I have no idea what the issue is.

Many thanks

Damn, that is a sweet price for the Moto 4G.

Now I am wondering if I should have waited a bit instead of paying 90€ to repait my Idol's cracked screen after it randomly broke in my hands.

I feel tempted to get a G4 even so... mainly for the gigantic dev community it will surely have.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
thanks for the thread

to be honest ive had mostly what you may call top end phones (most of the flagships up to 2015) but i had too many contracts at one point and i ended up selling most of them (still have the htc m9 and z3)

but the girlfriend uses my m9 and my dad uses my z3 and i was looking just for a cheap phone just till the end of my contract but wanted some good features like (great display and sound and just to run nice)

i wasn't expecting much with the idol 3 but i was surprised just how good it was for the money i paid £180 brand new :eek:

and for me the display and sound beat both my z3 and m9 so for a budget phone i think that's good

i just wish we had more development and support for the idol 3 but at least it isnt non existent

and i agree with the marshmallow builds at the moment there a pain but again at least we getting them

all in all i dont think even today there much of a better phone for the value and when we have a final mm builds up with no bugs ect i think we will have a much snappier and better camera too just to add to the list :cool:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
Nice. Also, the honor 5x and idol 3 are nearly identical aside from the aluminum case the honor has. Same hardware specs. But the idol 3 speakers are way way better (I have used both) and calls sound better too.

Not bad for an almost year old phone heh, its def still worth purchasing now, esp at 70 less than the honor 5x at cricket price.

That zte looks freaking sweet for the price tho heh. I keep finding myself asking why pay more than 200ish for a phone unless u really need the insane camera quality the high end guys have. For general use the canera on the idol 3 is great. Who actually needs freaking 4k res on a phone sized screen or 6gb of ram? Sure big internal storage is nice, but SD cards are crazy cheap lol. My 64gb evo plus was 20 bucks !

I also really liked the blue vivo 5, great specs and beautiful construction. Unfortunately there not much going on for it ROM wise, blu is terrible with updates, and there is no way to get band 12 on it making it virtually useless for Tampa bay gsm carriers.

Nexus 5x is only $199 through Project Fi.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kingoftheafro:
But you can only use it with Google Phi. That's a bit of fine print they don't tell you. Got a friend who tried to use his 5x on different carrier from Phi and it wouldn't read sim, even with rooting. Google knows how to get people so watch out.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Pretty sure that would be illegal. That was the whole point behind the recent laws passed that REQUIRE a provider to provide an unlock method for a device that's paid in full so it could be used with other carriers.

*update* Just went and read the FAQ at Project FI and there's no mods to the phone..they are vanilla...it specifically addresses that you can leave project fi after the device has been paid in full with no contract. People can bring their OWN phones (nexus 5x, nexus 6 etc..on specific models because the phones they are using work on ALL the major carriers) and just order a project FI sim which pretty much settles it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
That is the same reason I bought the Alcatel Idol 3 as well. It was the best value proposition I'd seen since the Nexus 4 (and it actually surpassed the Nexus 4 in every way other than updates).

The Moto G4 (and G4+) look like the new kings of budget smartphones in my opinion. With that said, I think that the areas where the phones excel are still only a few shades better than the Idol 3. OTOH, when I upgraded from my N4 to my Idol 3, it was the equivalent of upgrading to a flagship in terms of added functionality/compatibility.

If I didn't already have an Idol 3, I would definitely be giving the G4 a hard look. Overall though, I'm not sure whether I would hypothetically pull the trigger because the phone design is the same generic Moto feel. (I will give credit for the ability to switch the back as a cool option though). Also, I don't like the fact that there is no NFC and no fingerprint scanner (on the cheaper model) which makes me question the future proofing of the device. Overall, this is probably the best budget phone out there, but it is nothing that differentiates the phone in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Your friend must have broken something. There are a lot of people who bought the 5X for the $199 Project Fi price, then canceled Project Fi and took it to their regular carrier
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Performance and screen on battery time are still going to be a major issue for some folks...marshmallow helped alot with performance but dropped screen on time to around 4 hours....even with the $60 budget ZTE Zmax2 I picked up which has the same cpu/storage/memory as the idol 3 4.7 but a 5.5 screen I'm getting 6+ hours of screen on time showing as a minimum. For some the fact the moto g4 will have a HUGE development community can also be an important issue. Alcatel has totally missed the ball on working with the community to get positive free advertising.

So the general consensus seems to be......yeah there are phones out there cheaper than the idol 3 was that have some specs that are close (but improved) but the idol 3 is still doing good enough FOR NOW.

That being said...I purchased both the zmax2 AND the moto g4...more than likely the moto g4 will become my primary phone however I fully intend to continue working with the idol and zmax2. I'm personally looking forward to [MENTION=4150512]The Marionette[/MENTION]'s "aosp-ify" Marshmallow Rom.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kingoftheafro:
Unless they changed something he got the 5x when google first came with it for 199 with phi, but he also lives in Kansas so that may be an issue too. I've got Cricket/ATT and I barely got any service out there.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

okly dokly then. He lives in KS so I'm guessing he just doesn't receive service from other carriers where he lives then. He told me the other sims didn't work, but I was out there last weekend for family reunion and I got no service in town.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
The confusing part of that was I thought from reading that Project FI piggybacked on the other networks....so if it has service then he should be able to identify what network/towers/bands he's using and find the local provider that uses those.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
Oh no famewolf is switching primaries. Will the new moto your getting sound as good as the idol 3 does? Listening to music while closing at work was a huge factor for me in buying the phone, and it did not disappoint.

Even the honor 5x which I almost spent 70 bucks more on did not sound nearly as good. Compared to my managers s7, hers is louder but idol 3 has way better definition. I haven't found any other midrange phone that even comes close.
