No, the very first step is using moto dev to unlock the bootloader, ATT models aren't allowed by Moto Dev

Wrong section my friend. This should go in Q&A section. I'm sure it will get moved, but just wanted to let you know for future reference.

OP please read the Forum Rules on posting.....Thread Closed.

Rogers signed 1.6 update.zip

Is there an update.zip file v1.6 for the rogers dream phones?
My searching only comes up with rooted versions and cyanogenmod's neither of which I am looking for.
Thanks.
no, i don't think they released this yet.
BTW, this should be posted in Q&A, because this is a question and you are looking for an answer.

I realized that after I posted it. But it doesn't let you delete your own posts, so I was banking on it being moved by a mod. success.
Thanks, for the help though.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I'm trying to hit everything that comes up with "Rogers" and "1.6" on google. If the admins think it's not appropriate, just go ahead and delete the post.
There is a growing group of Rogers customer that are trying to pressure the carrier into providing an official position on Android 1.6 updates. You can follow their discussions on the subject here.
http://androidforums.com/rogers/10647-rogers-dream-1-6-update.html
There is a petition also asking for rogers to provide the 1.6 update, you can see it here.

[Q] do you think it's possible to flash...

I know this is not the Q&A thread. Don't shoot me. But i figured this was a dev question. Does anybody think or have tried flashing the stock droid ultra ROM to the moto x since they are VERY SIMILAR phones? Is it possible? Can it be done? Has anybody tried? If not and I was to try it do you think I can flash stock moto x IMG files back to normal? Or will i fubar my bootloader. Running Moto x Dev edit Verizon. These are questions that have been running through my head. Just thought I might ask. And is anybody willing to help me look into it? Thank you for taking the time to read and reply.

Very similar is never close enough. Any ROM for a different phone will not work for a different device. Some exploit methods work on multiple devices but never Roms and kernals.

I only asked cause if cm11 pac-rom etc could do it maybe we could. Thanks for answering though. It was worth a shot. I just miss my droid ultra?
They are the same phone in almost every way and yes the builds are compatible, or at least the 4.2.2 and 4.4 builds were last year. When the leaked T-Mobile 4.4 build came out, I was running it perfect on my vzw moto x DE and at least one other person was running it on their droid ultra/maxx with no issues.
So your question for the devs was just answered by non devs. If you KNEW you were posting in the wrong thread, but wanted to make sure you got noticed please follow the rules next time. It's not like you didn't know this does not belong here.
Only try this if you have an unlocked boot loader. If you are locked then you are out of luck. Still recommend finding a build for your phone.

i posted here thinking maybe devs have already tried it and/or have a workaround for it. i'm not going to start a fight with you over the internet cause thats just petty.
Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section, OP please read the Forum Rules on posting.

Flashing a Spring MotoX to nTelos

Hi everyone, I have a sprint moto x running 4.4.2 that I need to flash to nTelos for my friend. I had posted this in the wrong sub so I figured I would repost and ask again.
samwathegreat left me with this information, if anyone has anything else to add I would be very appreciative.
"First, questions belong in Q&A, not General. Please post to the correct sub-forums - read the 2nd sticky thread at the top of the general section.
Second, the GSM unlock (MY sim-crack) only works outside the U.S.
Third, you can follow the guide "Flash Sprint Moto X to Page Plus" to do what you are trying to achieve, ONLY if:
1. nTelos allows you put the Sprint Moto X MEID on your account
2. They give you the correct data authentication information (HA + AAA keys), OR you are able to successfully OTA activate your phone with them.
^I don't know the answers to either of these..."

Verizon DE4.4.4 update

I don't won't to let it update and soft brick my phone bc I'm not where I can do anything about it for a few days. I would think it would be ok seeing it's a DE unlocked boot loader. Any help is gr8 thanks

First, questions belong in Q&A - not General - please post to the correct forums.
Additionally, please search. You can find all the information you are requesting in any one of these threads of the same exact topic:

Good Luck :good:
If you're on stock recovery, with no stock apps disabled by titanium, and without xposed installed (or at least disabled), it will work. I was stock rooted on my dev edition vzw with stock recovery and the ota installed no problem.
That said... Just wait until you get home. The update is very small stuff and isn't worth being phoneless for days over.
As mentioned above questions should be posted in Q&A not general and there is already threads which this question has been asked and answered. Please use them instead of creating a new thread. Thanks

Can we install custom ROMs?

Sorry if these questions sound dumb, I'm coming from and HTC one M8 and when i owned it everything was already rooted and many ROMs out so it was fairly easy to gain information about that phone. I now have my phone rooted using PingPongRoot, does this mean I am now able to install custom recovery and get a custom ROM installed or is there something we're still waiting for with the at&t version?
No. We need an unlocked bootloader. Thank AT&T for that.

If you are a senior member, then you should know that questions belong in the Q&A section. Development is for development posts, not questions. This needs to be moved to said section.
Yes, absolutely, we can install touch wiz based roms, ala the att s5. We just need an interested developer. Anything non touch wiz requires a different kernel, which e cannot change due to the locked boot loader. I suspect since safestrap is dead, we'll have to use Flashfire. I've tried a couple roms from the general section already, but I couldn't get them to boot past the welcome sound.

Why is that? The lg g3 could run Optimus UI and CyanogenMod without an unlocked bootloader.
The question itself really does not make you seem dumb, the location of the question on the other hand..

Lmao and there's that... I didn't even notice when I replied. Lol
More than dumb. Posted the question in the General section under the thread titled: "Dump S6 AT&T stock ROM" started by gjimenez, post #25, and 4 minutes later started this new topic in the wrong section, with a copy & paste of that post, not following the forum rules. What a senior member!!!
You're all correct, I'll delete this thread, as it is in the wrong section. How do I remove this thread?
I think only a mod can delete it.
