[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroJoe:
I've done a lot of research on a reliable way to root my Moto X Pure Edition XT1575 and want someone to check my plan before I pursue this. I'm gonna download TWRP for Clark and superSU 2.78 and put them in the same folder and open up the command prompt in that folder. Then hook up to the PC and enter the following command "fastboot boot twrp.img" then I'm gonna replace the twrp.img with the name of the twrp file and backup to the SD. Then reboot into the bootloader again and flash twrp with fastboot "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then start recovery and go to reboot into recovery again to lock it in. Then I'm booting back into twrp and going to Advanced & Terminal and entering the following command "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.superSU then back home then flash superSU 2.78.

Please correct me on everything that may be wrong. If there's a better way to root, tell me how to do it your way.

My device info:

Moto X Pure Edition XT1575 (clark)

Build# MPH24.49-18

Kernel version 3.10.84

Android version 6.0

Bootloader OxAo48

You've researched well. Couple things: The command is "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu", you added capitols on supersu. Next your first command of "fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever you rename the TWRP recovery image to)" will live boot TWRP, which for our device is not necessary. Live booting is essentially booting into a custom recovery environment without actually installing the recovery. This is useful for devices that DO NOT have factory images available, which allows you to make a backup in the live environment prior to altering your device. We have factory images and factory recovery images, so you can skip this step and go right into "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or again, whatever you rename the recovery image to). Then after the recovery flash from within fastboot, you must reboot into recovery using the button select options within fastboot or your recovery will be overwritten by the stock recovery. Upon first boot of TWRP you'll have an option to keep your device read only or read/write. I personally choose NOT to keep it read only, rather read/write, because I don't care about taking OTA's with a custom recovery, but this is up to you. Then you'll want the supersu.zip on your device already (you want the regular standard current version, not a modded one from here: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703), either on your internal or external sd. And yes, prior to flashing supersu enter the command in TWRP without quotes "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" (this prevents the bootloop that our device gets when flashing supersu in systemless mode). And your good to go. I just did this a few weeks ago from clean fastboot flashing the latest factory image, works perfectly.

Now for some clarity, I'd like someone else to chime in on the TWRP command "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" that has to be entered. I know for sure entering the command prior works, and roots properly, but I have also read that the latest 2.78 version of supersu does not require this. I'd really like someone that KNOWS FOR SURE (no opinions) if this step can now be bi-passed, or if our device requires and will always require this step now and in the future. This will help solve a ton of questions about this issue that are spread throughout the forums so users don't have to dig to get a simple answer.

It worked! I'm rooted and looking for a stable rom with a lot of features and customizations that works with Verizon LTE. I also want viper4android. I'm glad I backed up because I tried flashing a viper4android zip and it caused my phone not to boot. It just sat at the unlocked bootloader warning so I just restored it. Evidently, I was supposed to unzip the file in esfile Explorer and install the apk. I think I also needed the selinux mode changer app.

What would I gain by installing a custom Kernel to my rooted stock rom? Can I even do that?

I literally did this to a fresh MXPE two weeks ago... misspelled the filename so it wasn't recognized (it isn't supersy apparently), and flashed SuperSU 2.78-SR1, rebooted and stuck at boot logo for 20 minutes. Rebooted into TWRP and entered the correct echo command to create the .supersu file and reboot, it looped twice quickly and then went to the lockscreen after a 2-3 minutes.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpolds:
I'm quite possibly wrong about this but I believe that if you update to the most recent version of the "Phone" app there is now a setting which allows you to select a phone number which has called your phone and then choose to block the number in the future.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ech1253:
From what I saw on my Nexus 5X now running 7.0 (which I bought this summer after frustrations with my MotoX and lack of regular security and feature pack updates), it does appear the native phone dialer app in Nougat has the ability to flag calls to be blocked and/or "reported as spam" back to Google... With the MotoX on 6.0 today, however, unless you use Google Voice/Hangouts (and Google delivering the incoming call instead), I don't see how Google can block calls before they ring on your device today. That being said, Google is hopefully working on a solution (speculation on my part) to have the native phone app do a "spam check" when it receives and incoming call (even from a carrier) on the device before it treats the calls as legit and notifies you (rings)... In theory, if millions of Android users start reporting spam phone numbers, Google should have a decent database to check against. This is the concept behind apps like Truecaller in the PlaySTore, but BE CAREFUL with those: they require your consent to copy ALL your contacts into their cloud and add them as "safe" (real) callers for everyone!

The real problem with spam calls in the US today is the open nature of the SIP transport protocol implementations all carriers are now using in their networks... Caller Line ID info is spoofed on the fly (by the call originator) to appear to be coming from a legit area and exchange you make calls in/from. THIS is extremely difficult to defend against on a device by only being able to look at CLID to make a decision on allow/deny of call. If carriers spent more effort screening the calls being put on their network (i.e. ensuring the CLID is legit for the originating source IP), they could get a better handle on the current spam crisis IMHO...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDaws:
Never needed to use an app before, so you can't do it with the phone itself?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ech1253:
Sorry, just noticed you aren't in the US... Not sure if the UK has the same spoofed CLID problem that we currently do over here... As the other poster also said, newer versions of the natuve phone app offer some protection against the same number ringing through a 2nd time (once you block it)... However, as long as the "bad guys" can keep changing the # they appear to be calling from EVERY time they call you, there really isn't any point in screening incoming calls based solely on the originating number...

My wife has hundreds of "blocked" callers listed in her iPhone yet she still gets (new) spam callers every day... Is anyone really shocked that scummy telemarketers have resorted to "SIP-hacking" to stay ahead of efforts to block their "real" number?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDaws:
At the moment it's the same 2 numbers that I have to ignore , with my other phone you could turn the phone over to shut it up so wasn't a problem or add the number as a contact and block it but I can't do either with this phone
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ech1253:
As long as the feature isn't removed by Lenovorola in the Nougat version the MotoX is announced to receive, you should very easily be able to do it right in the newer phone app I saw in 7.0...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackz314:
As you may know, T815c and T815 are different when it comes to Flashing ROMs, I got a T815c and would like to try T815 ROMs, but it always fail, I've tried Odin, but it failed everytime when it's just began to flash boot.img, I also tried flash with recovery(TWRP3.0.0-0) it succeed in the script, but always fail to boot, everytime I start it shows a red text on the left-up corner: "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" and stuck at the first booting screen. I'm really stuck here:( , please help! ;)

-Currently I found some reasons, I know that I need to have a MM system in order to flash in CM ROMs, but my T815C's official latest system is still 5.0.2, so the only way I can do this is by flashing in other versions of ROMs(T815), you guys normally have T815 ROMS, but I got a T815C version, so I'm stuck at how can I flash a T815 6.0.1 system in my T815C 5.0.2, like I said before, I've downloaded some T815 ROMs, but flashing them always led to fail right before flashing boot.img(Baisically just fail right after started)

possible(not sure) ways: flash in pit file or boot.img file via odin.

-I'm thinking maybe there's a restriction or a kid of lock on my device, set by the officials to prevent us from flashing other versions, so anyone knows how to get rid of those? or maybe some other problems.

extra information: might be related: on the download mode page, there's a Secure Download:enabled

Also my SElinux status is still Enforcing

KNOX is also not removed

anyways I'm not sure what's the cause of restriction, or other problems, if anyone can help with that will be a great favor!

Your bootloader is likely incompatible with MM kernels.

It's unlikely you will be able to get another bootloader to flash.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
Hey guys, I'm a Verizon customer and my 2 requirements in a phone are unlockable bootloader and sd card support. Since my options are scarce (CDMA compatibility) I've been using a 64GB Moto X Pure since they launched last year. I recently stumbled across the Moto G4 Plus and noticed that it fits my criteria for a smart phone.

Does anyone who owns a G4 Plus also own a MXP? They seem to be about the same size. The MXP has a better camera and screen resolution while the G4+ has a octa core processor. I'd much appreciate anyone's feedback who owns both phones. How do they compare in normal/heavy use, not just on paper?

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] doomed151:
The Moto X Pure is much better in almost every way.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
G4 Plus has a better camera, especially in low light situations. Fingerprint reader is super fast and I use it every day.

And the model with 64GB storage /4GB RAM is fast enough for every need. Who cares what a benchmark say? Nobody uses a benchmark daily...

Screen resolution? 520 ppi vs 401 ppi? Who cares, in order to see that you need to burry your face into the display or, if you are over 40yrs, you need two pairs of glasses to see that density!

PS: That comparison link is wrong, because that's not the US version of G4 Plus, it has the wrong LTE bands!

I ordered one off eBay that someone had lost the IMEI from flashing the wrong rom. Obviously I didn't pay full price. I'm hoping I can flash a stock rom and fix it.

If anyone has a link to the best restore file it would be appreciated. I tried to download from File Factory last night but after an hour or so the download failed. It's a US Moto G4 Plus 64GB.

Or if anyone else has tips about restoring the IMEI that would be great.

Why sell something on eBay if you're not sure that you want to sell it yet?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] MC FLMJ1G:
Btw you should get better battery life on the g4 because of Smaller resolution and same battery. If I recall the mxp also has 3k mah. The CPU should also use less energy, not sure on that.

Overall, you're downgrading, especially camera. I like the g4 plus even on 2gb memory. It's smooth and decent battery life. Fingerprint is fast. You don't really have a choice imo. You may even opt for the regular g4 imo. Not much difference outside camera.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] classic757:
Good information. Thanks.

I currently have the moto g4 play (Verizon version)

and I'm thinking about getting the Moto X Pure or the Moto G4 for the bigger display and hd calling. I have read that both phones have a problem with overheating. (The Qualcomm snapdragon 808 and 617 processors are known for overheating issues). I would lean toward the Moto G4 but it seems the overheating issue is a bigger problem with the G4 than the Moto X pure.

What are your thoughts on the overheating issues?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] joa8000:
I have a G4 Plus and it heats, but it doesnt overheat. I tested playing 3 games at the same time and plugged the TurboCharger for 30m and it got very hot like 47° but look what i was doing.

Heats yes, of course but it doesn't overheat. I have a friend who has a LG G3, that phone really overheats. Reachs 60° only playing a game, and 43° in stock. Insane.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] classic757:
Oh okay. Thanks.

I really like the moto g4 play and feel I would like the moto g4(don't want the plus 'cause I don't need or use a fingerprint sensor and there's not that many upgrades that

justify me getting the plus over the regular g4).

My concern is that I play a lot of music videos on my phone and when I tested a Moto X Pure in store,

the phone got hot after watching a music video on YouTube for only about two or three minutes, so I was like okay don't think I want to mess with that.

I'm thinking it might be the same or worse with the moto g4.

I don't want a fire trap for a phone.

May try the moto g4 and if I do experience constant overheating I'll simply return it.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] hayame:
I personally think it's a mix between:

Better camera, fingerprint sensor (and a good one), & battery life with the g4 plus

vs

Better performance (both cpu and gpu, especially gpu and overall performance) & maybe the fact there is more community support since it's been out for a while, for the x pure.

Can't be asked about the heat problems that some users are having with either, I ran antutu benchmark on both g4 plus and x pure and none got hot to the point where you couldn't hold it or have it feel like it was burning you. US variants of course.

I just bought Redmi Note 3 SD. I am running the latest global stable build based on LP. I wanted to move to Global Beta Builds. I tried to flash the recovery zip using updater app. But it always showed "couldn't verify update package".

So i searched a bit. And think it requires bootloader to be unlocked first. But I have some doubts :

1) After unlocking bootloader can I flash global beta recovery rom zip using updater app ? Or fastboot is the only method even after unlocking bootloader ?

2) If I am stuck at 50% during the unlocking process, will the phone wont boot not anymore ? Or I can boot it just like it was before ?

3) Does data gets wiped during bootloader unlocking ?

Thanx in advance...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Shrewdy:
1. Any rom that supports flashing through recovery can be flashed through the recovery.

2. If you are stuck at 50% while unlocking your phones boot loader, don't worry. Your phone will boot and work just fine.

3. Nothing will be wiped after unlocking your phones boot loader, everything stays the way it is.

I hope I answered your questions :)

And you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash the beta global MM ROM. You can use miflash and flash the phone in edl mode. If you take a backup in MIUI first, you can restore all your apps and data too. If you're even braver, you can replace the stock recovery image in the ROM with ZXCTWRP at the same time so you can flash SuperSU, Xposed, etc. all with a locked bootloader.

Just got my RN3 SD last week and I'll share what I encountered

No, you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash latest Global beta. What you need to do is boot to EDL mode and flash Global Beta through MiFlash tool.

TIP Make sure fist that your device is properly recognized by your PC through correct drivers. Usually the MiFlash drivers are sufficient but I had problems with the MTP driver so I had to search the internet for this

Flashing Via EDL Guide

I don't think so since your error seem to depend on the updater app, and not the bootloader

TIP If you do decide to unlock bootloader, try to unlock in your current ROM first before flashing Global Beta. In my case, I applied for permission on Day1, Got my permission on Day 3, Failed to unlock until Day 5 where I EDL flashed Global beta and I was able to unlock by then. I think I could have unlocked faster if I EDL flashed Global Beta earlier

It will still boot. You just need to hold the power button long enough (you're in fastboot when unlocking)

No. Data gets wiped when you flash something in fastboot/EDL or when you wipe it in custom recovery

Other Info

ROM that came with the Phone is official MIUI 7.2.3

Global beta I flashed is 6.9.22

After unlocking bootloader, I flashed ZCX TWRP

After Flashing ZCX TWRP, I flashed xiaomi.eu ROM 6.9.29 and got bootloop. To fix this I had to flash LazyFlasher.zip after xiaomi.eu ROM and then did a factory reset via TWRP
