Change Model Number? - Moto X Q&A

I'm on the XT1056 Sprint Moto X with unlocked bootloader, rooted, stock 4.4.2. I was trying to change my model number in my build.prop. Nothing super important; I just wanted to add the XT1056 to where it simply says Moto X. In my build.prop, it already says ro.product.model=XT1056, which of course is not what shows up in my About Phone screen. Then it says something about how that's obsolete ? Any ideas how to actually change this?

I wouldn't be editing build.prop unless its for something important, and its confirmed by others to work.
But that's just me.

That's great and all, but it doesn't really help me. Build prop editing gets done all the time, and there's no real danger with superficial changes as long as you know what you're doing. I've changed my model number before on previous devices by editing the aforementioned line. Since that doesn't seem to work on the Moto X, I'm wondering if someone can help me figure it out; A. Because I want to change it, and B. Because I want to learn how, why, and what's different from my previous devices.
I appreciate that your reply was meant to be helpful (and warning) in case I'm some kind of noob. But I'm not. I messed with it for a while, tried some searching and research, then figured I'd come to some XDA peeps for help.

[Q] [Question] How to Dump ROM and Root New Device (Mi700 DroidPad)

Hi guys,

I know this is not a G1/Dream question, but I believe the best developers are in this area. I am about to get my hands on a new Mi700 DroidPad, a budget Android Tablet, with Android 2.2. I wrote a review which was picked up at Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/csls-500-spice-mi700-droidpad-runs-froyo-looks-awfully-famili/. The software as I can perceive it so far is problematic (slightly buggy). Since this is a new device (and I have checked for any development efforts from the Net and found none so far), I was wondering what I should do in order to:
1) Root the device
2) Dump the ROM
In regards to rooting the device, I was thinking since it shares the same CPU as the Aria and Legend (MSM7227), can I just use the one-click root method? I will try that, but would like to know alternatives if that fails.
On dumping the ROM, well... I have no idea what can be done, but would love to try doing it, so that Flash can run on it. At the moment, though it is on 2.2, Flash does not appear in the Market.
Anyway, thanks a lot guys. If anyone can help clarify the matter or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Btw, I'm trying to arrange with CSL to give developers some discount on purchasing this device which is equal in functionality with Samsung's Tab, without the crazy pricing.
Thanks!
we need someone hlep us how to root ???? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

you will need to upload a certain file from your phone to jcase for him to edit it and put together a pwnmymoto for your particular carrier. That is assuming that the build for your carrier is not the same as some other carrier. I don't know that so if someone does then they can tell you better. If not, get in touch with @jcase and he will tell you the files you need to upload.

There is no need to pwn Mexican Moto X since it can officially be unlocked. Then you can put any recovery you need and root it without a problem.
you can use the brazilian apk listed in pwnmymoto thread

Samsung Galaxy Tab E -- Woes..

Hello. This will be my first post since I registered. I've been lurking for a bit, trying to get my Tab E 8.0 (Sprint) rooted, and xposed installed. I have narrowed it down to the framework being the ARM variety. At least I can assume that. I have 6.0.1, so with that said, that is Marshmallow right?
I install that using TRWP, and it restarts, but never gets past the Sprint Logo. Not sure why that is, but it wont' boot past that. I recover using the uninstaller, and everything is back to normal.
Is there a different type of framework for samsung tablets? Or am I just not doing something right. TIA.

The above snippet from your post is the answer.
1st, in the xPosed read-only sticky thread you'll see the following
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If your samsung ROM is stock or stock based, that means it is touchwiz so you need to find the build of xPosed that the picture suggests
Next in the XDA search box type
Samsung xposed marshmallow.
Find the most authoritative looking of the threads (hint: it starts with "unofficial") read THE ENTIRE THREAD (if you don't have time to skim it, then you don't have the time necessary to do this right and should leave device modification alone). You can and will break your phone if you do it wrong, so after reading the thread you are unsure where to go from there (such as how to remove the incorrect xPosed) ask in that thread, they will be happy to help.
Second secret hint (but don't tell me I told you): the developer of the xPosed you want is AWESOME! his name is Wanam

Locked phone into "Flashed with unauthorized software" state, IMEI at 0

To make a long story short, a relative bought a phone off ebay that was in Retail/Demo mode and I was tasked with trying to get it out of that state by flashing a different stock ROM onto it. I used to have absolutely no issue before with older phones, but, after a few softboots with no success, I've eventually ended up reaching this far in nuking the phone, and even the IMEI in download mode is showing a 0 (though I'm not sure if that wasn't always like that).
From what I've seen the phone is certainly the Snapdragon variant, and yet there was no way to activate OEM unlocking within the phone. I know this situation is rather insane and I could be SOL but here's to hoping someone could point me in a direction to help fix this thing. I haven't tried flashing the unofficial TWRP in fear that it's going to screw over my recovery (in which I forgot to mention it works perfectly fine at the moment). Alongside with the security error, I have the secure check fail with modem displaying as well. Is there a certain ROM version that might help? I've attached a screenshot that I took right before I fell into the abyss, so hopefully that'll help (unless you can't see it out of me being new). Thanks for any replies in advance.

I think the phone is in Egypt variant since it says carrier ID is Egypt?
For the Recovery mode I had these;
So as you see, I tried many things to fix this without sending it to SC since I live in North Cyprus. I'm pretty sure that it is not hardware related but more likely a software stuff. Any ideas to fix this? Thanks.
Btw, I am not sure if the images are visible or not, can someone leave me a feedback please?

They should be fixed now, thanks for the feedback
i got the problem too
No one has any idea about how to fix this instead of sending phone to Samsung Care? Like draining the battery completely etc? Or possible software conflicts? Since I have updated to bootlader 6, I cannot go back to 5 either.
