I did try to sideload and even saw this Large file fix thing on reddit. Tried it out, but it still didn't work. Will give it a shot again. will try to use google USB driver and see how that goes... Not sure if there is a utility for OP3 which can help with the sideload... Like Android Tools for Nexus..

But it is fun doing the flashing yourself, facing bootloop, anxious moments etc and then that feeling when you ultimately get it right!

You will be missing all that. Pity!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] jcostanza4:
I decided to write this post after testing for two weeks to make sure my excitement has held up to the initial expectations and to see if any woes present itself. So far I stand by my initial comment; this is the best Windows Mobile accessory I have found to date. I originally bought this device as a GPS for my car and thought the bluetooth capability would be an added bonus. The handsfree capability of this device is by far the most impressive use of bluetooth I have seen. I have only tested this on the HTC Touch Dual 20 Key (Nike), compatibility and functionality may vary for other devices. So far no real problems; it connects, it works as stated and quite well too.

Highlighted capbilites in order of importance/functionality:

(see screen shots for examples)

Handsfree Bluetooth carkit

Phonebook retrieval with Spell/Search Function

(dynamicaly uses phone address book not programed GPS contacts)

On Screen Dailer/Phone Pad.

Incoming Call Notification (image shows number but also displays name)

Call History (From phone, not GPS)

Phone Status (Signal/Battery)

Loud Speaker

Great Mic w/External Mic hookup

Voice Comand/Dail Compatible

General use description - Use images below for reference:

Device connects within 6-20 seconds after initial GPS bootup(about 20 seconds)

When calls come in there is an easy to use screen with Answer or Ignore option.

To make calls goto the main screen, press phone icon and select either phonebook where you can spell name and it will narrow down, or you can voice dail or use your call records or look up Point of interest and select dail from the results.

Call options let you pull up the dailer, mute the phone or transfer audio back to the phone while you are in a call. You can navigate while in a call, press the red call status button in the map mode to to see the status or end a call quickly.

I have so much more to tell you about but I will leave with this and for anybody to ask questions.

Like everything in the world there are always flaws or downsides. Here are a few (not necisarily flaws but fixes that would have made it better)

I listed voice dail last because the use is great but the audio feedback/voice prompt is quiet and I felt was least usefull in comparison to the other features. (using MS Voice Command 1.6) Voice recognition works great with the Nike but it requres a few key presses to initiate through the on screen buttons.

This GPS can send and receive text messages and read incoming aloud but this feature is not compatible with this phone. Maybe we could fix this another time friends!

Slow Device Bootup (20 secs), but fast paring most times after bootup. I have this device permanetly mounted and the slow boot doesnt bother me ever; its rare when I get a call before I can even pull out of the garage but If I do it will connect within seconds.

Thats all for now but if your interested this device retailed for about 600usd, I got mine on clearance for about 350usd.

Have a good one

Bluetooth stopped working with My Touch Dual - Here is fix

I am posting this as a warning and fix for anyone who may have problems with a Garmin Nuvi that may have bluetooth issues.

I updated the Blueooth Firmware with the Garmin update utility to 4.40 and my bluetooth did not function at all. It would pair up but never would function as a handsfree device; it would also disconnect and reconnect constantly.

I contacted Nuvi to find out how to roll back the Bluetooth firmware only allowing me to keep the GPS function up to date. Here are the instructions and also the firmware version that works best for my Nuvi 360.

This firmware is designed for the Nuvi 360 and I am posting this as a curtousy to others to save time by contacting Garmin and going through the hoops. Flash on your own risk, I am not responsible for these instructions or the file attached below. For other Nuvi owners you may need to contact Garmin to get a different bluetooth firmware file.

Don't forget to unzip the file first.

Here are the Instructions:

1. Connect device to computer and delete the original file (My Computer>Garmin (drive)>Garmin (folder)>Remote SW (folder)>(specific Bluetooth file).gcd

2. Disconnect the unit from the computer, allow to boot up, turn the unit off then back on again.

3. Reconnect to computer and paste new file in same above folder.

4. Disconnect the unit from the computer, allow to boot up.

5. From Menu screen tap on the View map icon.

6. Tap on Speed indicator in lower left hand corner of screen.

7. Press and hold on round speed indicator until screen changes (approx 10 seconds)

8. Tap on the Next button until you see the tab Updt PR (wide screen nuvi), Updt P (on zūmo and c5xx) or Updt (on small screen nüvi ) and press this tab.

9. Confirm “Do you really want to update the bluetooth firmware?”

10. Allow unit to boot up and confirm software change to older version.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] roguewave24:
Thanks for the posting on this. This seems to have helped with my Bluetooth disconnects with my Blackberry Pearl connecting to my Nuvi 360. I wish Garmin would come out with a firmware update to address this issue.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] jcostanza4:
No Problem,

I spent a great deal of time reflashing my phone and repairing. Didnt realize it was the Nuvi.

I have had a few quirks since my last post. Mainly my issues are with SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 and how it seems to prevent my Niki from pairing. I have tried disabling the start screen on wake up but it does not help. I am trying to figure it out and when I do, I'll keep this section updated with my finds.

Thanks

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] jcostanza4:
An Update on the bluetooth problem I was having

So I posted about the firmware updating and rollback procedure. Well it seams that the Garmin Nuvi likes to automatically download the latest bluetooth firmware from the GPS siganal and update itself with no option to cancel.

Luckily my bluetooth seems to still operate and has not yet failed me like the 4.40 version did. I do not know which version it updated to but I will keep this post updated with all my finds.

Thanks -

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ripshod:
I'll keep it brief. SM-G920F, rooted with TWRP 3.0.2-1 (zeroflte).

Installed CarHDRom V.27.1.1 (G925F) with arter kernel (G920F).

Everything seems fine and has for a while. Then Saturday evening I had to restore from a TWRP backup. The restore went fine other than losing my imei/sn. Back to TWRP tried to restore just the efs but it only restored part of the files, ie maybe just the first few lines, the rest of the files were filled with zeros.

I had to extract the efs files from the backup and manually copy them across and set permissions. Everything back to normal after a reboot.

Now I was assuming (rather vaguely) that using a the 920F kernel I could still use the TWRP 3.0.2-1. Would you guys recommend going to the 3.0.2-0 (zerolte) to be compatible with the ROM? Would it be safe to do that?

Here is TWRP 3 for the Moto Z

I decided to open this thread and make unofficial builds because the official TWRP (3.0.2) is still based on MM and will not work properly with N Firmwares and ROMs.

It should work when you flash it, but using it is still a try at your own risk procedure.

To temporarily boot this recovery:

fastboot boot twrp.img

To permanently flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The download is up on moto.shreps.fr.

Changelog:

twrp-3.0.3-n2-athene_shreps.img

- Kernel and boot update - should be compatible with more variant

- Some TWRP fixes

twrp-3.0.3-n1-athene_shreps.img

- Qseecom and crypto stuff updated to N

> I'm able to decrypt my /data partition (F2FS) - Tested on XT1650-03_NPL25.86-17-3

- Fully rebased on AOSP Recovery 7.1

- TWRP bump to 3.0.3, with a lot of fixes

- Dark Material Theme

- Removed cursor pointer

I hate phhsuperuser too, but what is this recovery.img that you linked ?

in your images you show up SuperUser 2.78 R2, it works ? What happend with the release 2.59. I tried before and my phone don;t boot any more when I install SuperUser
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] erfanoabdi:
My Link is TWRP recovery image

Here I installed SuperSU as systemless mode, which is always fails installation on official TWRP

In pictures I really only installed es explorer as root needed app and I didn't mess with SuperSU anymore not sure about other's

BTW I recommend to stay on phh's superuser
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] silvercat:
So using this recovery and forcing to flash in systemless mode boots into ROM? Because last time I tried system mode ended up in bootloop and systemless mode dint gain any root access
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Shreps:
Again, it's safer to flash supersuser by phh, everything works out of the box :)

See post #2
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] silvercat:
Currently I'm using phh without any issue :) but FlashFire doesn't work with this, it requires SuperSU
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] erfanoabdi:
First at all I really don't recommend this root method, cause I didn't test it too much

But your answers:

There's no force just flash released superSU from chainfire this will flash in systemless

Before this recovery, old official one could not install SuperSU as systemless and it was stops on decompressing ramdisk, I just fixed installation part which is only related to TWRP bug

And force system (xbin) root still makes bootloop , as I know it's not about TWRP

:)
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] kethsawant:
Then according to you which method of Rooting is the Best or safe instead...or which TWRP & supersu file should be flash , if i am on Nougat updated through OTA
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] erfanoabdi:
I recommend to follow OP guide, it's safe

But if you like SuperSU use my TWRP and flash latest SuperSU

I tried that in Stock rom but ended up in bootloop..

[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Shreps:
Hum yes, but should work too with MM bootloader. You can try to press power to shutdown the screen and then power or volume again to wake up and the touch should be initialized.

I'm in a bit of a pickle... perhaps someone can help?

I've a Bell Canada XT1650-03, OTA updated to 7.0.

I unlocked the bootloader, flashed 3.0.3-n1 as above, then tried sideloading UPDATE-anykernel2 and superuser per this thread https://xdaforums.com/moto-z/help/bell-canada-version-finally-rooted-t3547956. In the process I managed to lose my OS (sigh... yep, I'm a noob with no backup). I downloaded the stock ROM, did a manual install (series of flashboot commands), but got errors regarding the wrong security version. Found the 7.0 update ROM and installed it the same way. No errors this time, but the device gets the unlock warning, then a Moto splash. then shuts off. Recovery gets me the red triangle, unless I go through adb and flash TWRP, which then hangs on the TWRP splash screen. Feeling a bit of a dunce here. Was looking for root... now just want a working phone. Any help would be appreciated.
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] swejuggalo:
Personally I use 3.0.3-n2 posted a bit earlier. You successfully entered TWRP?

You may want to try out the installation instructions in the LineageOS thread (the wiping part). And then flash a factory image zip or maybe even LineageOS
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] kanuckdroid:
Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately I'm not getting into TWRP anymore: just get the splash screen, and it hangs there. Screen doesn't even dim, although holding down the power button does eventually shut it down. I'll take another look at LineageOS, but I'm guessing I need some kind of working recovery first.
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] swejuggalo:
Fastboot that version of TWRP I mentioned. Fixed that for other users. It's posted earlier in this thread
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] kanuckdroid:
Yay! Newer TWRP worked like a charm. Installed LineageOS, too... looks good. Root seems to be iffy, but I'll deal with that in the morning. For now I've 3-days of voicemail and texts to catch up on, then bed. Thanks for the recommendation!
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] swejuggalo:
It's a addon activated in developers settings to get root ☺️ SuperSu not needed.

There is also a other kernel available if you use battery mods or something.

Not sure this question belongs here but I have tried to contribute as much of my own experience with rooting the Moto Z as possible. And the experience has been very good. Without the help here I might own a brick.

But... I just took a load from Bell Canada today and now the device just boots directly to TWRP. When TWRP loads, it takes about 10 to 20 seconds for the touch screen to come alive but then I can't find an opiton that will recover my phone.

So I now own a brick.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Shreps:
I think you did read carefully the warning on FP.

I will make it in bold red XD

If you don't disable verity with a custom boot, then you must NOT mount /system in RW and must not try to edit /system otherwise it won't boot.

So you have 3 options here:

- flash a custom boot to disable verity

- flash an unmodified firmware system with fastboot

- flash a custom ROM.

Are you using my n2 version ?
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] msymmes:
Thank you very much for the help. I am using n1.

My preference uis to flash an unmodified firmware system with fastboot. But I don't no where to find the firmware and do the flash. I do now how to use the adb.

[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] swejuggalo:
I assume that would be the kernel? We have a Turbo Z kernel thread here. That kernel should boot with modified system partition even on stock firmware

You may find your stock firmware here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25

or here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin/official/

And basically, the fastboot commands are always the same. You can take this guide for reference: https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-restore-stock-firmware-t3562717

Only the "fastboot flash system " commands are necessary for system restoration, otherwise use all the commands to full reset your device.

Be sure to use the appropriate firmware for your variant.

And no need to relock the bootloader, in fact I would suggest to keep it unlocked to be able to use TWRP if needed.
[Moto Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] msymmes:
