[Q] Motorola Sensor Services Uninstall

I have had my Moto X (2014) Pure Edition for about two weeks now and am loving it! I am coming from a Nexus 5.
I have a question about a message I received after I unlocked the bootloader and have rooted the phone. Before I did any of this, I did, as prompted, update the Motorola Sensor Services.
After a smooth bootloader unlock and root, however, I now have a message, about "Complete Uninstall" and reverting the Sensor Services firmware. I am continuing to install all of the Moto app updates and getting the phone back to where it was.
What should I do? Should I revert the services back? Or as some has said on other forums, if you reboot, it should disappear?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Matthew

A restart did not make the message go away.

I got it too after rooting I uninstalled the update and few minutes later it prompted me for the update install it without losing root

For clarification

Just to clarify. You are saying uninstall the services like it asks and then I'll be reprompted to install it, and then I should install it?

I installed the update before I unlocked and rooted once I unlocked and rooted phone I was prompted to uninstall the update so I did after a reboot I was prompted to install update I install it with root and exposed I though it would fail but it didn't and I retained root that's my experience short answer its worth a try

Fixed
As soon as the phone downloaded the newest motorola sensors by itself while restoring itself the uninstall notification went away. I think it's fixed! Thanks!

Just in case it helps anyone. I did what the notification said and revert the sensor firmware. And after the reboot, I updated all moto aps and another notification with an update for the sensors firmware appeared. So... nothing happened at the end. But also, it doesn't matter if you revert the firmware because the update is going to appear later again.

[Q] Diable 5.1 update on rooted Pure?

I have a rooted stock ROM Pure and I want to avoid the 5.1 update for a couple of reasons.
Does anyone know how to disable the update process on these devices?
TIA

Disable MotorolaOTA in the system apps in settings. If you're rooted, you can freeze it in the /system folder using Titanium or whatever else you use. Safest thing to do is to rename it with a .bak at the end, then when you're ready to update you just remove it and reboot.

Thanks for the reply. I froze it with Ti Backup, but I'm still able to check for updates manually and it reports normally.
Shouldn't that function be disabled if the OTA apparatus is truly disabled?
I do see in firewall a process called 'Device Management that I thought I could block MotorolaOTA from communicating, but there are other functions bundled, so I don;t want to do that.
Ideas, anyone?

Motorola will still be able to be communicated to, but the OTA function will be disabled, eg. no OTA will be detected. It is my understanding that blocking MororolaOTA just keeps the notification from appearing and prevents OTA downloads.

Thanks again - that makes sense. I'll see the rollout on my stock Pure (if I still have it and decide not to sell it) and be able to compare in real-time if it does the trick.

[Q] Xperia Z2 Boot loop

I installed Xposed, and a module that thought (knock on) I think it was not compatible, to restart the device, it gives boot loop, clean the dalvik and it starts, if I reboot again, boot loop return. Any solution? :crying: my phone is a xperia z2

You have to uninstall the module to fix it. If you're on Kitkat then I think there should be a zip in Android/data/com.somexposedstuff and somewhere in there. Idk about lollipop

You're on your bootlooped phone? If so, just disable and uninstall the module that caused the bootloop. I really don't know how to do this on lolliop. Maybe posting in Xposed General? I t would be the appropriate location for this thread.

I had only excluded files containing "Xposed" in the name with Root Explorer, but remained the files described in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58964632&postcount=2258
Made as described, restarted, he updated one last time and went back to normal. Thanks for your help. : D

No problem. Remember to uninstall the incompatible application.

Please see -> [FAQ] How to prepare for and take an OTA update (All Carriers)
Basically, you need to put back all stock files or the OTA will fail to install. So if those Google Apps came pre-installed, they will likely be needed... as well as any other stock apps you removed or modified.
And you need STOCK Recovery installed.

Installation failed

Even I had rooted XT1052, and the update was unsuccessful. The error was Signature mismatch. (I don't have stock recovery).Did you install the update?

how to stop ota notification

im having a problem with us cellular firmware on android 5.1 if i update i lose data, i must stay on 5.0.2 to make it work.
But it keep asking me all the time to update the phone, how can i stop those notifications?

The only way to stop it is with root access. You have to freeze the MotorolaOTA app.
