[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
Thats actually quite funny that Motorola is referring everyone to Amazon now. The support department won't know a single thing about these phones or what "unlock code" even means.

According to the link you provided Motorola is not giving out unlock codes for the G4 at all though. Not just the amazon prime edition.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
After a rather lengthy support call, explaining what a bootloader unlock was, and directing the representative to the Motorola website to show it referred to Amazon, I was given the email to the "Prime Special Phones support" department. I sent them an email inquiring about the unlock status of Amazon G4 phones, let's see if they answer, and if they do, if they'll do anything about it. I forcefully unlocked my 1st Gen Moto G back when I was on Verizon by using Sunshine (was told by pretty much every other source it wasn't possible,) so I'm not giving up this time!
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
Good luck with that. I'm not holding my breath.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

from amazon support...

Taher: I have contacted our marketing and promotions team, and they will get back to you within 24-48 hours with the bootloader unlock code.

I will personally look into this and make sure that they contact you and help you out in this situation.

Yeah right.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
I don't have my device on me, but someone should also try contacting Motorla (easiest way would be through live chat) and giving them your IEMI and explaining that they stopped giving keys only just today. Maybe they'll at least be able to confirm that either: 1. Amazon shut them down; 2. Amazon is in fact giving keys; 3. They've just temporarily stopping giving out codes (yeah, right).
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
considering I've already removed ads I wonder if I'll even be able to put the ads back on in order to return the phone. According to the OP the bootloader has to be unlocked to put the ads back. If I had known Motorola was going to do this I wouldn't have removed the ads in the first place.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
Honestly, it's not a deal breaker for me, but it does kinda suck that for saving ~$50 we get shafted with a locked bootloader. I literally just left Verizon because of their bootloader policies, too... At least I can still flash stock and use it like a normal debloated phone.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
My concern with flashing stock is what if amazon pushes out an update that overrides that. I haven't attempted to wipe the phone out and just put stock on it but I thought the bootloader had to be unlocked to do that.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] runderekrun:
Whelp, day late and a dollar short.

So much for root. Guess I'll have to return this dude.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
No, I believe Motorola stock ROMs can be flashed without an unlock. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since it's unmodified, official Motorola firmware, it should work. Also, this is the rather humorous response I got to my email:

Yeah, Motorola is trying to give you the run-around because they'll bounce you right back to them.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Locked bootloader =/= no root. It is more than possible to create a pre-rooted stock ROM that can be still flashed to a locked device. Being a Verizon customer for years, I know first hand what it's like to live with a locked bootloader.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
And there it is. Moto won't support it and Amazon won't support it. You knew it was coming.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
Eh, I'll make a few calls and at least get back to here with a definite answer. After all this was only just changed today, there's probably a reason it just doesn't straight up say Amazon devices are not unlockable. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll at least satisfy the curiosity since it was seemingly unlocked no problem for the past week or so that it's been out.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morutimeru:
I waited too long to unlock mine... Dammit...
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yaconsult:
Subsidized phones are always ineligible for bootloader unlocking - it would defeat the whole purpose of the subsidy. It's surprising that they started shipping phones without coordinating with Motorola's unlocking service, so a few people got lucky.

Also, amazon would have had to make a big mistake in their bootloader for it to allow flashing of any rom except the amazon version of the rom. It should not allow the stock Motorola rom to be flashed. If it works now, I'm sure it will be patched soon. For the non-amazon version the bootloader can be unlocked. What would be interesting would be if they had an option, like they do on the kindles, to charge the amount of the discount they gave for the ad supported version in order to remove the ads. But since they don't actually make the phones like they do the kindles, I doubt that that will be an option.

There has not been a working root exploit for the Moto G since the first release of kitkat and that's why all the kingroot-style programs don't support it.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] BigFuzzyArchon:
Would sharing the unlock code work? If so does anybody have one? Thanks
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] acejavelin:
No. The unlock codes are unique per device, your phone's unlock code will not work on any other device.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
here is some helpful notes i made in post 3 about this
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morutimeru:
Nope, there isn't a way to do that like on the Kindle, chatted a lot with live support at Amazon, after they transfered me like 3 times to different departments they concluded that it can't be done but they could give me the opportunity to return my Amazon G4 to buy the normal one... I was like wtf?!
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yaconsult:
It works out to be the same thing because the amount they charge to remove the ads on the kindle is the same amount that the price was reduced from the non-ad version. So returning the ad version and buying the retail version would cost the same amount as if they offered the "ad removal" option. In this case, $50.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Badd_blood:
So has anyone tried flashing the stock motorola firmware without unlocking the bootloader? If it's signed it should flash without unlocking and seems like this would make it identical to the regular unsubsidized version (apart from not having a bootloader unlock code).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unseeingdog:
Hey guys, yesterday I was trying to install cm11 on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo but it didn't work so I just decided to flash the stock ROM back through Odin but when it finished and it turned on, it got stuck in the Samsung logo... I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset and none of it works... I also tried flashing TWRP and wiping through there and that didn't work either. It said "E: can't mount /cache" and "E: can't mount /efs". Same happened when I tried to restore a backup. I have tried flashing the stock ROM again and again and still no luck. I suspect that this might have happened because yesterday I tried to install cm11 and get TWRP to work too much times... Please help me guys... :confused::crying::fingers-crossed:

HI, I have tom tom 6 on my phone, working no problems. I now have a car stereo (dvd/gps/bluetooth etc etc) which runs win ce 4.2 (cut down interface) if I am correct.

Under the gps settings, it has a basic interface to specify the exe of the sat nav software, (and that's it). I pointed it to the tomtom exe.. it runs fine, but reports no maps found.

Does any one know which file I need to edit to point the exe to the right path. (Please bear in mind it is not possible to run any reg edit etc on the device itself, so I'd be looking for something I could run on the pc, transfer to SD card, then put the SD in the device)

Hi,

I have an Android G809 J22 PC Stick and it has no sound. I have managed to get a .img file of newer firmware and it still does not work. I think I found a solution by editing certain files.

drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/rk_hdmi.h

drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi_edid.c

There are a few others as well, but I do not know how to get those files to edit.

I have Android Kitchen up and running, but I do not even know if that is on the right track or not.

Where to start would be appreciated, thanks.

in every forum ,about rooting rn3 pro i got only that i have to flash cracked boot.img or ubp zip after flashing supersu.zip.are they outdated.cant we do direct flash supersu zip directly using alka/cofface recovery or i have to use diseable verify option in recovery advanced menu.very messy please help me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
Simple steps:

1. Go in fastboot mode.

2. Flash official twrp.

3. Boot in recovery.

4. Flash supersu zip.

5. Reboot your phone.

And yeah, allow modification to system partition when asked in recovery. The only downside of the official recovery is that it will be replaced by the stock recovery on boot. No prob, you can flash it again. No need to flash custom cooked boot image or something.

To keep recovery forever:

In system partition, there will be a file next to build.prop, named something like recovery-boot-bak or something, delete it and then flash twrp and this time it will stay.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mr.loverlover:
After flashing for ex. Resurrection Remix (or any other custom rom) the device asks whether it should leave an old recovery or not. Flashing official miui zip doesn't touch the recovery at all.

So it's not necessary to delete any files (regarding my experience).

I've dug through threads for hours already, can't seem to find this specific issue, apologies if it's out there somewhere.

The story:

Vacationing in Canada, phone is on sprint's network in the USA.

Enabled international account settings with sprint before leaving the USA.

Turned on international call and data upon arrival in canada.

Worked fine for a few hours.

Then started rebooting.

I did see an error for firmware unable to download.

Now it is in a boot loop.

I believe it attempted to update another networks version of the firmware and failed, corrupted, and has now left me in this position.

Sprint will not support this, as their towers can not connect to the device (no sprint in canada)

Samsung support will not help in canada because it's a USA bought phone.

I know all i really need to do is flash it with the latest firmware, that's what a tech would do right now.

Attempts to use Kies has failed, the macbook i have available reboots when it's run.

Attempts to use Odin have failed - an auth failure.

I would like to flash it from the SD card - is this possible? (download firmware, transfer to SD, mount the SD,

then using the boot menu, and "install update from SD" - seems like the solution ya?

and if so.. anyone have a good link for SM-g900p marshmallow that isn't a paid user account required mirror? I just paid 5.99 for a mirror that is SLOW AS SNOT, 49kb/s, and pulling down a 1.5gb file.. literally days to download this firmware. There has to be a better host out there.

[Google Chromecast] mendake:
A question for those of you with Chromecast hacking experience.

I'm thinking to use a Chromecast as a device for a physical installation, where people would connect their phones to it and control something on screen. No internet needed, just a wireless local network for people to connect to a server that handles websockets and also renders a video and does some HTML/CSS/JS stuff.

Would something like this be possible? If so, what would it entail. I'm an experienced developer, but don't have a good sense yet of the tech involved.

Quick question.... I am experimenting with something. I want to see if I have tasker and a system SuperSU can I change the state of SuperSu to be systemless temporarily.

Can it be done? Is there Way that I can issue a command to convert SuperSu SYSTEM to SYSTEMLESS?
[SuperSU] :
Yes possibly. You'd need Tasker to do whatever event you wanted and then it'd run this next task.

1. Shell Command = echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

2. Use open recovery script to reboot to recovery, flash SuperSU zip which would use SYSTEMLESS because of above command.

Task to go back to System mode

1. Shell Command = echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu

2. Use open recovery script to reboot to recovery, flash SuperSU zip which would use system mode because of above command.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] redman3170:
This past saturday I decided to get my charger port fixed because you would have to prop the phone up to get it to charge and I get tired of doing it so I took it to a cell shop to get fixed. They fixed the problem with the port but another problem arose. I could get a signal outside my house or anywhere outside but as soon as I walked inside I would lose signal and would have to use wifi to get anything on my phone. So I took it back today and they changed out the port again saying that the charging port and the antenna is all connected in one piece. Well when I get back to the place to pick up my phone they can't get a signal period inside or out!!!! Now they are saying its because my phone is rooted and flashed that its acting crazy. I don't think the rom had anything to do with my problem but I was running Phronesis-N9005-N5-v4 . So I just flashed another ROM on my phone just to prove its not the rom. So I flashed DARTHSTALKER v7. And you guessed it still no signal just wifi. Does anyone have a clue as to what is wrong so I can get this fixed so I can get back to normal PLEASE!!!!! All help is very much appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] android-incredible:
What is a fair price for a Verizon galaxy s4 mdk bootloader (good condition)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cicuye:
I just paid $150 and was glad to get it and I still am. The only other MDK I found had been used as a demo in a Verizon store. I paid $100 for it, was ecstatic, but it updated unbeknownst to me. I now know to not give it the opportunity to upload, by not giving it a network connection. You can freeze the SDM file with Titanium Manager Pro, or immediately install a custom rom which should prevent it from the updating process. Don't assume that the OS will ask your permission to upgrade and install. I caught one downloading an update after I first put a SIM card in it. Verizon has no honor when it comes to limiting an owner's access to his own property. They can, and will sneak an update to your phone through automation and install it, all w/o asking your permission. The MDK build that i found updating was also running Stang's Rom, so don't assume a custom rom will automatically keep that update from happening. I went to a Samsung service center and inquired about them flashing the original OS to my S4 that updated. They said they would take it down one step from what's currently on it. I know that the demo unit I found was running Android 4.2.2 and they wouldn't flash that to it. And I'm not certain that that would insure that VRUGMDK build (the build # that reflected that unlocked bootloader) would install with that flash.
