Confused here !!! :confused:

Wizard 8125...with wm6...IPL/SPL 3.06 ?...t-mobile loading screens and programs ?...provider at&tt ?........

Hard to swallow all this ! :confused:

ok,let me try to get it straight :-

1. Initially it was on at&tt Rom wm5,right ?

2. Did you try to upgrade to wm6 ? and flashed the T-mobile 2.26 Rom ?

3. Its not ipl/spl 3.06 but ipl/spl 3.08,which you must have gotten by flashing the IPL/SPL 3.08,right ?

well,T-mobile 2.26 is also a wm5 official rom and not a wm6 rom,therefore,by flashing an official t-mobile rom on your already at&tt official rom,has just changed the OS from At&tt to t-mobile OS,but certainly not to a wm6 Rom. That's why your load up screens and programs are of T-mobile.

Plz correct me if I'm wrong somewhere,ok

Have a nice day :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
the splash screens can be easily changed. search for them on here. you will find a few different ones.

for the other things, they were from the extended rom which wasnt installed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zabardast_1:
Its not about splash screens !

How wud you explain this.....Provider At&TT....T-mobile Rom (OS).....Wm6 ?

I don't think T-mobile is offering any wm6 upgrades,atleast not to my knowledge.Care to update me ?

Cheers!

Hello,

I am new to animation and just started my new project .I have to design few flat animation video for my client. So I am actually looking for some new ideas to create these videos.

Can anyone recommend best quicktime codec to render these to for low bandwidth playback that keep the color saturation and image sharpness to best quality and Flat Animation Video?

all introduce color sampling and compression artifacts as they are designed in delivering live action at low bandwidth, not 1 pixel lines against a flat background.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Guys

I have this Moto G xt1032 (version whitout sdcard slot)

I used this cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip and open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170928.zip

I got this message when I tried to use the camera:

My guess is the mount point do not worked fine

So I made a ssh connection:

$: df

$: Vim /fstab.qcom

I tried other snapshots from lineageOS and CyanogenMod but the error is the same

I know some versions of this phone has sdcard slot, but mine don’t.

You guys have any clue to solve this? Thank you
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonpow:
I discover that /storage/emulated/0 or /sdcard has no DCIM folder, so I tried to create with no sucess this fodler, i got no permissions, even root on Terminal.

so I boot on TWRP and create folder there, sucess, but when android boots again I cant write any files there

falcon:/storage/emulated/0/DCIM # chmod 7777 /storage/emulated/0/DCIM -R

falcon:/storage/emulated/0/DCIM # touch 34

touch: '34': Permission denied
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kefemaro:
Solved!

Hi man, I had the same, the problem was I did format internal storage with that every folder was deleted, but I fixed, how come?

Install de rom stock and this fixed the folders problem and then you could flash your favorite rom :D

So I have a non-rooted mobile, and I am trying to record an app which offers video tutorials for 30-day trials. While using apps like DU Screen Recorder and Mobizen, The recorded video becomes black and only records audio. I have also tried bluestacks and genymotion to record videos via Bandicam, But the app doesn't runs on both of them. Please help. What should I do? Will root help.. The recorded video becomes black only on that particular app, and not on other applications
[HTC One X] dotzeno:
I have been looking around for stock recovery for 1.36 and haven't been able to find anything other than CWM or TWRP.

I used the nandroid backups from this thread and I looked for recovery files from this thread - but the links are dead...

I also tried to use the RUUs, but I keep encountering the signature issue - which I assume means I need the right recovery first...

Would anyone happen to have the stock recovery (bootloader 1.36) on hand?

Please and thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, I ended using a recovery from a 4.19 stock rom (here) which seems to be working fine (getting OTA updates).

Mobile Radio bug

Is anyone having this mobile radio active bug in battery usage. The mobile radio of phone stays on for most of the time even when we are not using that app. And that drains the battery of phone without even using it.

Is this a ROM related problem? Cause it is present in AICP and Resurrection Remix too. If yes then can you please solve it. Or if anyone have solution for that can you please guide me. I already know the xposed module Mobile Radio active fix. But after installing xposed I loose the ability to hide root from magisk. So if anyone is having solution for this that'd be great.

[MENTION=7598073]sskr_[/MENTION]

Any information about these?

I did clean flash with this rom.

To reproduce this:

1. Open Settings App

2. Go to Display

3. Scroll down to Color Engine and tap on it

4. Change Accent Color to Primary/Background Color

5. Change to default/Pixel to Grey or Colt black

Once changed to Grey or Colt Black, you'll get this.

And then to return the options just use Default or Pixel for the Primary/Background Color.

Any Fix for Grey or Colt Black Primary/Background Color?

(Changing Accent Color does not help in appearing the options, unless background color is grey or colt black.)

After some days I randomly turned off the on screen buttons just to see if the hardware button works and voila, it was working fine. Lol

Can anyone give me an advice?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] St.Noigel:
Just use RSD lite and flash original FW for youe device.

Here you can get 7.1.1 fully stock ROM (retin or retus - I don`t sure)

I flash it to my XT1635-03 and it works just perfect.

P.S. If you have issues with RSD flashing - just use fastboot with the next commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

Keep in mind if you already upgraded your bootloader from the official July Patch and patch you'll hard brick your Moto Z play if you upgrade and downgrade. I'd advise you to flash the ROM and not the actual firmware.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] klofisch:
i dont have that july patch. Dedrak was still on January.... so its 7.0 and it this was also the las official update i got changed to dedrak.

So it should work.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zixione:
Please explain a little bit more how is it possible. As far as I understand it should be as following

When I get phone from store it will look like:

┗━━━ BOOT ━━━┛┗━━━━ RECOVERY ━━━━┛┗━━━━━━━━━━━ SYSTEM ━━━━━━━━━━━┛

When I get OTA update it will look something like:

F1: STOCK FIRMWARE V.1
O2: OTA UPDATE V.2

F1O2F1O2O2O2O2F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1O2O2O2O2F1F1O2O2O2O2F1F1F1F1F1
┗━━━ BOOT ━━━┛┗━━━━ RECOVERY ━━━━┛┗━━━━━━━━━━━ SYSTEM ━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Then I downgrade via fastboot and it should look like:

F1: STOCK FIRMWARE V.1

F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1

Why hardbrick?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dchoi229:
I honestly can't give you a solid answer. If you look at other threads you can find out why. It definitely has something to do with the bootloader.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zixione:
Already seen this. The only useful bits of info about downgrading\bricking cause is, again, just statement, that "some updates/flash packages do not allow downgrading", but again without much clarification how exactly some data, sent to flash memory, will block itself from being written:

Many thanx, anyway !:good: I just need deeper explanation, will search onward myself. :confused:
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dchoi229:
yea.. sorry I'm not much of a developer. You can definitely look inside that thread and see that there are deeper explanations. I believe after a certain update (april security patch i believe) the bootloader is upgraded and when downgrading to a official firmware (MM 6.0.1) the updated bootloader will not work correctly and hard brick the Moto z play. I dont play with the bootloader anymore after hearing of this. Your best option is just to flash stock roms. Best of luck to you my friend. :good:
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sam0056:
I am in a similar position wanted to go back to stock deodexed N but I can't because it is rooted with super su and I want to root with magisk which is not possible. Or I think as much anyway.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
As I understand it, the hardbrick comes not when you downgrade, but when you use OTA updates to upgrade your device. The likely reason for this appears to be that the OTA only verifies your system version and whether the system, OEM and other partitions are of the same patch level. It does not necessarily check whether your bootloader and GPT are matching your system before patching. Also, downgrading may not downgrade your bootloader (and sometimes doesn't, where it's blocked by a 'security downgrade' warning), leaving you with a mismatched system. Looking through the OTA scripts for the Moto G4 updates, for example, the checks are mainly: is this the correct build to flash over, and are the system partitions unmodified? If yes to both, then it proceeds to flash and then copies over the bootloader files for that OTA. I've not seen an OTA check to verify your bootloader is of the correct patch level (if someone knows better, feel free to correct me).

To use your illustration:

F1: STOCK FIRMWARE [B]V.2[/B]
O2: OTA UPDATE V.3

F1O3F1O3O3O3O3F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1O3O3O3O3F1F1O3O3O3O3F1F1F1F1F1
┗━━━ BOOT ━━━┛┗━━━━ RECOVERY ━━━━┛┗━━━━━━━━━━━ SYSTEM ━━━━━━━━━━━┛

This is after the OTA update to V3, taken after the OTA to V2. We assume that boot is the bootloader (the secondary bootloader, including the TrustZone and other bootloader partitions), and system includes the kernel and other system components.

If you downgrade to V1 from V3:

F1: STOCK FIRMWARE V.1

F1O3F1O3O3O3O3F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1F1
┗━━━ BOOT ━━━┛┗━━━━ RECOVERY ━━━━┛┗━━━━━━━━━━━ SYSTEM ━━━━━━━━━━━┛

You'll notice your bootloader has not downgraded (which can occur in fastboot), since the bootloader blocks you from downgrading your bootloader, especially in the newer stock firmwares. You'll also notice that your system is V1 though. Thus, though your system is V1, your bootloader is V3.

If you take an OTA update to V2, therefore, the OTA appears to look at your system, think your device is all V1 (including your bootloader), and proceed to patch to V2. Of course, as your bootloader is V3, then there is a high likelihood of the V2 OTA corrupting your V3 bootloader, leading to a hard brick.

We've seen this with the Moto Z Play (from the 7.1.1 to 7.0), Moto G4/Plus (downgrading from the June 2017 patch), and other Moto devices. Though this behaviour isn't restricted to Moto devices, it seems to more prevalent after the April/May/June 2017 stock patch updates (possibly to stop you reopening the Motorola bootloader vulnerability?). Thus, as others have suggested, do not downgrade if you can, or be careful and do not flash OTA updates. Try to flash the same stock ROM as what was on your device previously.

Hope that explains things a little more clearly.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] RoboticBuddy:
Whenever I try use any command on fastboot, i get this message

(bootloader) slot-count : not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes : not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes : not found
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
I think those messages are normal, as the Moto Z Play doesn't appear to have the A/B partition system found on the Pixel. Thus, those messages are more informational as there's no separate slot to flash to.
