[Q] Can't setup touchless control now - Moto X Q&A

Has anyone else been unable to setup touchless control after root and slapmymoto? When attempting to setup TC, I press "Let's get started!" and it wont let me get past the play sample step.
Running 4.4 root

Try go to App, slide sideways to All tab, find Touchless thing and clear Data/Cache, most likely you had it before and something stuck

There's probably only one way to cure your issue but it involves doing the whole rooting process from scratch.
When you factory reset, did you lose any files, data and the such?

Lost a few files from reset, but I have the ones I really need through titaniumbackup. Hard for me to pinpoint exactly where in the slap process it stopped working. I'm thinking it was before upgrading to 4.4 OTA.
Now when flashing back to 4.2.2. Does it remove root and write protection?

Not sure about slapmymoto and that method of rooting but I believe it does.

Ok so I reran root. I'm already not write protected, which is taking me straight to step 3 after entering the dalvikvm code in telnet/puttytel, but not installing su to root the device. Any thoughts?

[Q] Any way for us on Verizon DE with TWRP to install the update?

Not sure if I missed it, but didn't see anything via searching. Is there any way yet for us on the Verizon DE with a custom recovery to install/flash the current update? Without restoring the phone to stock and/or flashing back to a stock recovery.
I assume we are just waiting for the correct files to be extracted from the update, so that we can flash them, but thought maybe I missed something along the way.

Flash stock recovery via fastboot > reboot > download and flash OTA via stock recovery > reboot > flash twrp with fastboot > reboot/root > enjoy. If you have made any mods to your system you will probably want to rsd or fastboot completely back to stock.

I knew this method would work, was just hoping to avoid rsd'ing back to stock. I've got everything backed up, but its still annoying setting everything back up.
Did you read what I wrote? Unless you made changes to the system all you would need to do is flash the stock recovery. Your data will be intact.

Thanks for the help, for some reason I was under the impression flashing system wiped your data as well. In the process of flashing now, everything is going smoothly after I updated my fastboot.exe since the default one I had said my system.img file was too large.
Be careful, flashing system and then updating will wipe root away, if not done properly

This won't help you but in case you didn't know you could, I'm running the updated tmobile rom on my dev edition vzw Moto x. You get native tethering that way too. You just have to flash the vzw build.prop on top, the original one works fine. Then you need an app like 4g lte switch to enter phone settings and change to lte/cdma auto(prl) to receive and make calls and txts. Pretty cool I think. This way I've had the update for almost a month now and didn't have to wait for Verizon

I suppose that would work if you didn't want to wait on Verizon for updates. FYI native tether is also easy to achieve on Verizon without the T-Mobile hack.
Hopefully Verizon is fairly quick when updates are released, this round wasn't bad at all so I didn't mind the wait too much.

not 100% sure but if you do factory Reset you will have to reinstall SuperSU from the market place and then grab root checker and see.
i think it will because i have done it before but my bootloader was unlocked.
Thanks. This is what I suspected. I will find out for sure tomorrow night when my new Dev edition shows up and I reset thus phone. I guess as long as write protection is not reenabled, it should be no problem reinstalling supersu.

the issue is not with reinstalling SUPERSU the issues is if SlapMyMoto sticks or not. you can install SUPERSU on a device that is not rooted at all it just wont install the binaries
That's true. As long as write protection is still of , I would not have to flash back to 4.2.2 and start over. Slapping again is not too bad.

i think you would still have to flash back to 4.2.2 Post Camera Update because there is a couple commands that you need to run before you update to 4.4
Well , the slapmymoto root method will survive a data reset. All I had to do was reinstall SuperSU from the play store and all is well .

HELP! I lost/borked an important apk.

Long story short, I was trying to invert my contacts. I failed.
I used recovery's file browser to delete corrupted files so I could
boot without errors crashing phone. Im using safety strap.
Locked boot loader.
Now, up and running with write protection off
However, while I have the contact apks I have no app. Nothing.
I tried the apks from att ROM and it did nothining. If anyone
can help... all my texts are just numbers now. Who are these
people? Lol
You may need to fix the file permission. Try setting the permission to rw-r-r.

Did you factory reset it. The app that contain the contacts is "Contacts Storage" which is a different apk, I think it's /system/priv-app/ ContactsProvider.apk

I tried. It's not listed in settings/apps and I know now that the apks from the att ROM that I used do not agree with the phone. Clicking on the apks gives me the response that the app was not installed.

Such as safety strap and the whole root process? Sorry I've never done this before with safety strap. Ive always had phones so teeth unlocked boot loaders and plenty of backups on hand. If it's just data and not root then it's okay. I'm backed up but if I have to do the root process again I'll need to get some fresh air first.

Okay, I erased userdata in fastboot and the phone is totally unresponsive now. Can't get back into fastboot or anything. Held buttons down forever. Computer still makes a noise when I plug it in but doesn't show up under devices. ? not sure how to get out of this one.

You need to rsdlite the sbf firmware if you can get to the fastboot screen otherwise you can try the resurrection thread

That's a really bad idea, I was only suggesting to run factory reset inside Settings.

Can you get into the bootloader (hold power + volume down)? If so, you'll probably need to reflash the stock recovery before the update will install.
Thanks, after I stopped panicking and calmed down I was able to flash Stock Recovery and then the next reboot caused the standard update to work. Kind of surprised really, still rooted etc.
Right now phone is working but Wi-Fi indicator is not lit, even though it is using the wi-fi.

Well you have the dev edition, they aren't going to take root from you. Don't know what's up with your wifi, though. When I updated I ended up having to restore a backup and updating again because of several extremely strange problems.

App Updates - VZW Moto X Dead?!

Running a completely stock VZW Moto X on the latest update (4.4.2). Woke up this morning to a half dozen or so app updates, including Active Display and Moto Help. I updated these two, and then an update for Beautiful Widgets started after. My phone then locked up and restarted. Now, it loads through the boot screen and then loads the Verizon screen, then the device goes black. I've tried wiping cache, to no avail. Any suggestions? I've installed the Moto X drivers via the Moto site, but the device isn't being recognized via ADB. I would really really really like to retrieve my files from the phone before doing a full factory reset...
Haven't seen anyone else report this....

Same symptoms on unlocked dev edition
I can't for sure tie it to an update, but the only thing that I did on my Moto X today was enable Motorola Connect. In the ensuing ~3 hours my phone bit it and would get to the Motorola Unlocked Bootloader screen and stop. Tried to boot to custom recovery, but it wouldn't work. Tried reloading TWRP, but gave access error on write but it seems to have fixed it enough to let TWRP open. TWRP showed list of access errors, like the memory had been corrupted. Need to find 4.4.2 image and load it back on via FB, as recovery has no data now.

You have a totally separate problem from the OP. I don't have an unlocked boot loader and haven't done a ton of research on the risks of unlocking the consumer edition. 4.4.2 images are posted all around the forums. I would start there.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Thanks. You are right, not the same problem, when my phone soft bricks when I haven't been doing anything to it I get twitchy. I have the DE and have tried (a bunch of times) using RSD Lite and fastboot to push files back to phone, but after reboot everything looks to be reverted back like if WP was enabled, which it isn't. I will take a cruise thru the forums looking for similar issues, but any suggestions would be appreciated

If you have a Dev edition fast boot stock vzw files, fast boot OEM unlock and reflash SU. simple as that.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Yup. Have gone thru that procedure several times, but phone won't get past the bootloader unlocked screen, and even after flashing stock (with stock recovery partition) TWRP still shows up, so some write to memory isn't sticking. It's very strange, used same procedure on this phone when upgrading to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2 and on other phones with no problem. Since TWRP can't access the flash, I am wondering if I actually have a corrupted memory module. If I can't get things working, I will start a thread. Don't want to hijack this one. Thanks.

As an update to the original post...
My phone "magically" booted at some point while it was sitting on my table. It's been working since then, but I tried to restart today and the thing won't boot up again. No idea what causes this and adb still isn't working with the phone in recovery mode.
Well I'm from the old school of if a car won't start you check 3 things spark fuel air. So in the case of our phones I always say fxz if an fxz fails to fix the problem than I lean towards a hardware failure. I have never had an fxz not fix a software issue. And I have bricked more than my fair share of devices several times.
I just did my custom order of the Moto X today. I hope I won't run into any issues. I'm switching from the iPhone 5S.

Have you tried fastboot?
Also getting the drivers to work can be tricky. You have to install them and then use device manager while you're phone is plugged in to get it working.
