[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] johnathanamber:
Hey everyone,

AFAIK, the root methods like Magisk via TWRP require the bootloader to be unclocked (To load Magisk via TWRP, If I understand it correctly, the unlocked bootloader allows TWRP to be run so that you could install Magisk.). Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty of your shiny new Z2. Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect. Is there a rooting method that would not require the bootloader to be unlocked?

I know with previous phones I've had some methods didn't require to unlock the bootloader. I realize that is comparing oranges to apples, etc. etc. Just curious if there is one out there that I may have missed.

The following links are for reference:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

For those that are curious, this is what you get without unlocking the bootloader even if you have the Settings > System > Developer Options > OEM Unlocking option enabled without going through the Motorola website to unlock your bootloader:

Disclaimer: This is in no way meant to belittle any efforts to root, etc. Each and every method and endeavor to accomplish this requires great respect for those taking on these great tasks and for those testing such methods. This is simply an inquiry to see if the current warranty can be maintained while at the same time being able to do more with what we have.

Thank you.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
Its even worse when you consider it isn't the unlock that voids the warranty, but merely the request for the unlock code.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] johnathanamber:
That is true. But, they figured that if you are signing in and checking into it, most people will continue. I would rather not voice the warranty just to get Xposed on there to do what I want with it. I might just have to wait until the warranty is done with before rooting. Not a huge deal breaker for me, but it would be nice to do some things more easily. Xposed and Tasker are cool apps.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
Agreed, it is doubtful someone would request an unlock code and then not use it. Their policy feels rather hostile.

The phone is great especially at its current pricing through T-Mobile. However, it does have screen issues and I'm not convinced the screen on my device is one of the good ones. Throwing away the warranty should not be taken lightly with this device.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] johnathanamber:
Other than burn in, are there other screen-related issues to be aware of?

Peeling and scratch issues mostly.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] johnathanamber:
I've heard of those and know the plastic display is easily scratched.

With that, I've purchased a tempered glass protector when I bought the phone. A few days later I found the bumper "case" at Verizon to project the edges and help save the camera lens from being scratched as well. Just waiting for my Incipio wireless power pack to protect the back and add to the battery. When it is all done, should be pretty protected all around.

Hi all!

Is there instructions anywhere on how to flash LOS 15.1? I see on AFH that 2/27/18 is available.

every time i try flashing, i end up with a corrupt bootloader with wrong slot.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
It is very unstable and has issues. Per [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] the bootctrl hal flashes to the wrong partition. You need to boot into fastboot and do the two commands:

Fastboot set_active other

Fastboot -w

Then reboot. As stated, this isn't official and won't have support until it goes official, flash at your own risk!

I installed it successfully. Now what? Where to find the app?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Encik Panda:
Im not pointing in the EmojiMaker itself, its for all user who get the conflict issue. Btw for EmojiMaker, we need the latest camera version, samsung experience 9 + minor tweak or maybe ported rom just like when S8 launch, then the S7 user cant use sticker function.

To boot into recovery on zte overture 3 isnt that hard, just hold down the power button while it is booting up. The screen will go black and it will look like its rebooting again, but instead of booting into the normal operating system, it boots i to recovery mode. Yes this is for the cricket version (just make sure you go into developer tools and allow the OEM bootloader to be unlocked)

[Touch Cruise General] ezyaz007:
hi everyone.

im new to wm6-can navigate and use reasonably well-came from a prophet before.

my problem is when i pick up the touch after it being idle/unused for some time when i check the screen, the gprs has somehow connected itself. even if the touch has been keylocked it still seems to be able to connect to the vodafone network. :confused:

is it possible that the power button also acts as a connect button and i dont know about it??:confused:

the touch is stock standard and is only really used as a phone. any help or thoughts would be appreciated!!

also the bluetooth turns itself off reguarly when its connected to an earpiece. it hasnt happened incall but it seems to happen when the earpiece/touch are idle and nothing has happened between them.. again any thoughts appreciated. thanks in advance.

[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Isaac0900:
I've been searching the forums and internet for a while, but I cant seem to find any twrp that is specifically for the ZTE Maven 3 (z835). I have very little knowledge about this, and I really do not need a new paperweight. I already got the developer options, I know about the OEM unlocking and was looking at another option that I believe might be relevant which is "USB debugging," I feel like that would be important to activate to once I begin the steps of getting twrp installed because it allows file sharing between the device and computer. Ultimately, my goal is to root this phone if that becomes possible, but in the past I've bricked an Alcatel Ideal while messing around with my newly found power since I had no clue what I was really doing (I successfully got the root on that phone, tried flashing SuperSU without clearing the dalvik cache first and soft-bricked it) I wasn't able to fix that since I didn't have a custom recovery installed, that is why Id like to get twrp on this ZTE so if I make a mistake in the future it wont leave me without a phone.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Isaac0900:
Just found a method for unlocking the bootloader and that seems very simple if it goes as planned, Installing the twrp after that is what I'm unsure of now

Please share. How do you unlock the bootloader?
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Triforce0fWisdom:
He was just trolling. Nobody has figured out an unlock for the bootloader for ZTE Maven 3 (Z835) yet. I really would like to figure out a root method, as it's a great quality device for such a low price. Seriously lacking in storage though, which is where a root would really come in clutch for this devices popularity. I hope at least a TWRP is available soon.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] rocoso:
Unlocking the bootloader is in the developer options menu.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] gamescan:
Not sure what you're talking about Triforce. Unlocking the bootloader is a standard, supported feature of this device.

1) Go to About -> Build in the Settings menu.

2) Tap until you unlock Developer options in Settings.

3) Go into Developer options.

4) Enable OEM unlocking.

There really isn't anything to "figure out" here as far as the bootloader is concerned.

Now, TWRP, root, and SIM unlock, those would be useful to figure out.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Bowserman16162:
If you had this phone you would know our struggles I have already done these steps and have used adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery and selected reboot to bootloader which has not worked and the device does not work with fastboot commands and I don't think it has the feature to do so.

Hi all,

I have a very annoying bug going on with my stock messaging application. When I go back into my messages I see the date and time stamp but as I scroll up none of the messages have a date and time stamp. This is a big problem for me right now as clients sometimes message me and I have no dates to reference. My phone storage has been low on the phone but I have been keeping some space by clearing it out.

Regardless does anyone know what the cause could be here? I have some really old messages and they are showing no dates.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 8425317:
If you're worried about the messages, use a back up service like Gcloud or similar, but backing up only the messages. But you can't uninstall it unless you you're rooted and yes it's In the play store. But you might want to abandon backing up messages all to together and just email the important ones to your PC.

Just uninstall the app updates already. Lol

Does the white light at the bottom flash when you try to power it on while it charges?

try this:

Plug your N9 into a good 2.4amp output USB brick

hold down the power button

If the led doesn't flash 3 times annoyingly then you are out of luck. I don't know how to fix it. I have a broken N9 and a good one and the broken one has a dead mother board and sounds the same, but I DOUBT a loose USB cord destroyed your tab.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbat99:
Mine died too, but the led does flash 3 times. Is that a good sign? My USB port began failing and it was getting harder to charge. I left it plugged in over the weekend (forgot about it) and on Monday.... Nothing. But it does flash the led 3 times when I plug it in, sometimes. I probably need to replace the USB board again. Leaving a USB otg stick plugged into it for movie viewing in the truck is what keeps damaging my USB ports.

Update: I finally got it to charge and boot. Just had to hold the cord just right, and plug it into an outlet I have converted to USB next to my couch. New USB daughterboard ordered and on the way.
