[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
I'm on XT1635-02 and the update has worked, OTA should working in future. Only one thing is new, the system partition has 800MB less space after sideload this update. But this is on other devices which has done this update, too. But why is this update need so much more space as the old android 7.0?

Edit: Maybe I have it false in my brain xD On my other test-device I have 1.5GB free. So it can be that was 700MB free on android 7.0, too. But can't remember exactly :D

Ok, but this update is happen now and I can't go back. I do it never again. But OTA should work, because I'm on reteu. And I think there is no difference between US and EU firmware, just the name of zip file. What comes next are just security patches. Should working. Otherwise I would be :crying:
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] freeman_g:
I have looking different manuals through and found out the following:

1) It seems that name of the device for adb is not being kept in some file like build.prop and just generated by the script during the boot from some hardware-related source

2) target script is probably /device/company_name/device_name/init.device_name.usb.rc

3) there is a string in that script: write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iProduct ${ro.product.model} where ro.product.model can be changed for some static value ("addison" in my case)

At the moment I do not know how to edit this file without root (probably, pull through adb and then send modified file back but I am not sure if the system will boot in this case)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connorjolley:
I was gifted a Nexus 6 after my 5X died. As far as I know the device has never been OEM unlocked, much less flashed with anything. I've unlocked developer options and allowed USB debugging and OEM unlock but when I try to use power+Vol(-) to get into fastboot mode nothing happens, the screen is just black. When I bridged the device using ADB I could see the serial number and tried using the boot into recovery mode command and it rebooted to the same black screen. When I used fastboot commands on the black screen I could see the device and tried running fastboot oem unlock, it did something but wasn't successful in unlocking it. I'm not prepared to just start running fastboot commands blind like that without being able to see what's happening on the device's screen.

It's a curious problem, has anyone ever heard of it happening before? I can't find anything similar when I google it.

All I really want to do is clear the Dalvik cache and flash the latest factory image because currently, even after doing a factory reset, the device is very slow and laggy.

Is there anyway I could clear all the caches etc without going into fastboot mode or does anyone know of any fixes I could use so I can see the recovery menu?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
If you boot to bootloader mode, then "fastboot boot <TWRP.img>" you might be able run twrp on your pc and clear caches. If it works, I'd consider factory resetting. You can get twrp here: https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connorjolley:
I have considered that. But that requires OEM unlock, no? I still haven't managed to unlock it yet. The first time I tried, I said yes to unlock (it involves using the rocker to select a response, which I can't see the options for) but in the command window it said it failed (can't remember the error message though). I was going to try again today but because I couldn't see the options when I tried it said I'd cancelled the operation and I was too scared to try again in case something went wrong.

But, do you think I should try the fastboot oem unlock command again? I definitely need OEM unlock to install TWRP, right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
To install twrp yes, you need an unlocked bootloader. This doesn't install twrp on the device. I believe it should work. It certainly shouldn't hurt. I've been unlocked since the N6 came out so I can't double check for you.

If it doesn't work, I'd be a bit inclined to just flash a factory image thus ensuring everything is stock and current. You might want to wait for others to chime in, but it's what I would do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VarDes:
You may consider downloading Nexus Root Toolkit, works like a charm : ).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connorjolley:
I can't just flash the stock bootloader without OEM unlock, right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Correct, you need to be unlocked to flash a factory image, that includes the bootloader. See Google's instructions. Don't get confused by the "fastboot oem unlock"

vrs "fastboot flashing unlock" we are an older device and use oem unlock. The other is for the 6P and newer devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connorjolley:
Successfully unlocked. TWRP didn't help, still can't see the bootloader menu to access the recovery. I'm flashing the factory image now, hopefully a new bootloader will fix it. If not, is there anyway to clear the Dalvik cache using fastboot commands now the phone is unlocked?

UPDATE

Still a black screen even with a new bootloader flash. I'm assuming now this must be a hardware problem
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I think the command is "fastboot erase cache". Also, unlocking will have wiped the device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Why not just flash the entire factory image you got the bootloader from? What can it hurt? It would be really odd for this to be hardware if you can boot into the ROM and the screen works.

Guys, I think I just found the solution how to enable GPS.

On the S730 Wings it's the same problem and since a couple of weeks I was struggling to find a solution. Finally today the mind was clear enough and I firmly believe I found it.

Here is what I wrote in the Wings forum 15 minutes ago:

Since you guys don't have a MFG SPL it is not so easy to get the Niki in QC diag mode, which is necessary to be able to read/write NV items. But I'm sure I'll get that done soon. Hopefully in the week end we can have this all sorted out.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] tom_codon:
ok jocky bro.We will try it right :p
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jvieira:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Drachen:
Nice find! I'm a bit skeptical that this will solve the problem though. There might be hardware differences between the Nike and Kaiser. That could be the lack of a physical antenna (which was suggested on another thread) or a Qualcomm chip with the onboad GPS disabled. If Qualcomm sells the chips with failed GPS or WiFi units for less than fully-functional chips, it could explain why HTC doesn't enable the GPS on this model. They're saving production costs. This is what Intel does with their Core Duo and Core Solo chips. Core Solos are basically just Core Duos where one of the cores doesn't pass inspection and is disabled.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jockyw2001:
Of course, but at least after we have tried it, it will either work or if not, we know that there *must* be a hw difference.

The current status btw is that the NV items on Wings and Niki seem to be write protected. I'm trying to find a solution.

I also get an error about nv read/write due to SP lock.

Invalid nv_read/write because SP is locked

So from the sounds of that I can't edit the values because it's SIM locked.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] joaosousa:
Even after send the password, the problem persist's, after writing NV Item 148 to 17 it will roolback to 11 by itself. At the moment we need to find a way to be able to write this values.

Once again, i hope that the one's who know the 'way' give us some help and share with us all the knollages they have.

Let's go Team!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] SMYKUL:
Once the password has been entered it is possible to change NV values, just not a select few. It seems like a bit of a messy workaround from qualcomm to me.

As jocky has already stated the next logical step would be to flash an earlier IPL (Initial Program Loader) maybe from a Kaiser? In order to gain the ability to write to item 148.

<note>

My understanding of the way this works is that the SPL exposes the device to external input, and handles some specific commands(for flashing roms etc.). But when it comes to these 'power' commands it passes the data it recieves to the IPL for processing(At least for the NV items).

Therefore if patching the SPL(second program loader) Has not solved the issue, the problem must reside in the IPL itself.

Originally the SPL in the Niki did not pass the rtask command to the IPL, which is what the new SPL enables(Alongside access to other commands in the IPL).

However, the SPL in this case ONLY passes on the information, the IPL is responsible for reading/writing and otherwise processing the data.

Feel free to pick me up on anything I am missing here :-) Constructive criticism is always welcome.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] ZhenMing:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] ZhenMing:
oic... thanks for testing this... just curious is that only work or kaiser but not other?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jockyw2001:
No totally wrong!

First, we will never flash a Kaiser SPL (not IPL), we will just load it as a SSPL or perhaps boot it from SD. Secondly, the SPL has nothing to do with reading/writing NV items. The SPL is essential for possibly getting Wifi to work. It's only for GPS that we are working on modifying NV item values.

In the mean time I'm pretty sure that we will have to change another essential configuration item, the product ID which is stored in NAND flash together with CID, IMEI and security flags. I will do some experiments with NetrunnerAT as unfortunately I do not posess a Niki. It's a pity donations are mainly given to rom cookers :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] joaosousa:
Why change the product id ?

How will we be able to write the nv item 148?

Thanks!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jockyw2001:
Don't ask too many questions, I'm not able to answer them now. It's time to experiment and I will do that together with NetrunnerAT.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] joaosousa:
You said that you are almost sure we need to change the product id, and if you say that, i think you have a pretty idea of why we need to do that... But there's no problem if you don't wan't to say why...
