Restored ROM and I can't uninstall apps. - Moto X Q&A

I had to return my first moto under warranty and being lazy I made a complete backup through twrp. I restored this to the new phone and wiped cache and dalvik. Now everything works fine except when I try to uninstall any app it will soft reboot the phone. Has anyone encountered this?

You'll probably have to clean install your firmware.
Restoring Nandroids from one phone to another can cause many issues. Especially system partition. There can be phone specific info in there and putting it on a different device, even same model, can cause issues.
Its not what Nandroids are intended for. If your EFS partition had been restored from one device to another let's say, you could easily brick the new phone.

Restoring to a different device with Titanium Backup would have been a better solution. User apps only....NOT system apps.

If you did a nandroid backup of the new phone before you restored, then restore it.

That's what I get for being lazy. I can't restore the factory without it boot looping. So I guess I have to flash through rsd light.

Yup.
Use titanium in the future to backup user apps only. Transfer them to PC for safe keeping if you wish....and restore those.
Nandroids are best left as system images of your device, to restore totally if needed. To same device.

You can use fastboot to restore stock as well. Or RSD.

HELP Unbrick NOTE 3 N900A 4.4.2, 32GB

Help !!!
I have a N900A, tried to unlock the phone and now is dead.
These Steps Do not Work:
Windows Instructions
Download win32diskimager
Download your debrick image
Unzip both items and run win32diskimager
Run win32diskimager
browse for your extracted debrick image
Select your microSD in the dropdown box
Click write
Instructions required for both
remove the microSD card from the reader
remove the battery, sim and external microSD card from your device
insert your debrick microSD into your phone
insert the battery and down your power button (at this point your phone might actually boot completely and you can recovery any software/data you want)
reboot into Download mode either via adb or Volume Down + Home + Power
Once the device is booted into bootloader remove the microSD card.
follow the directions in the ODIN thread and make sure you UNCHECK partition!
I'm using a 16GB SD memory, but the phone is Interna 32, is this the problem?
Can you get into download mode?
Or is completely dead, I mean, it won't turn on at all?

I am trying to fix sm-N900A (AT&T) phone from my friend. Unfortunately, he does not know which version he was on before hardbrick (about a month ago). I tried using NC2 file on 8 GB card but no luck. (Also tried the image from this thread but no luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476353). He had forcefully restarted the phone while it was in download mode and since then all button combinations with any image on SD card gives QDloader.
i need help please nc2 poted helped me alot but now i did mistake

[Q] Mexican ROM update? Version 98.2.16.en.MX available

I just got notified on my phone that 98.2.16.en.MX is available to install. Its an upgrade from the current Mexican ROM I'm running. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it 4.4?!
Odds are its just the heartbleed bugfix.
ATT's version was 98.5.38.MB866.ATT.en.US
I'll check it out. I've upgraded phones now so I don't care if I lose root. Give me about a couple hours and I'll report back.

So I decided to upgrade the phone, not realizing it wouldn't work with my phone already being rooted. My phone failed to install the update, something about signature invalid. It then proceeded to continually boot up normally, wait 15 seconds, then reboot and try to install the update again. I couldn't get it to start up normally.
I finally was able to boot up into CWM recovery and wipe the /cache and dalvik partitions, which seemed to delete that update .zip file, wherever it was.
Anyways, i'm curious what this update is, but I don't want to brick my phone trying to update it. Is there a way to install this update if my phone's rooted? What about CWM's Signature Check feature, can I enable that, then install the .zip file (assuming I can find it) from within CWM?
Thanks

If your boot loader is unlocked, no issues at all... just clean flash stock via fastboot (including stock recovery) and try updating....

I can't flash custom ROMs to my AT&T nexus 6??

I have also tried to do it using my Mac (hate rains down) but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? Or does it have to do with it being carrier locked? Please help.

why would it have anything to do with it being carrier locked??? my guess is that you are doing something wrong. ok, you want to download the whole rom to your phone, and gapps. then boot into your recovery, where you want the wipe menu. chose advanced , then wipe your system and user data. dont wipe anything else, you do not want to wipe your storage. nownow, go back to the main menu, and chose to instal. now flash the rom, then the gapps, then reboot. and thats all.

Wiping phone and flashing with stock Pie?

My wife's phone has been so slow and laggy after upgrading to Pie. Is there an easy way to wipe the phone and install a fresh copy of Pie for this phone? Or can it go back to the stock Oreo too?
If you go back to Oreo you will loose your Wifi/mobile connection as long as you're on this version.
There is no need to flash a new firmware for a better performance. A factory/hard reset is enough.
