Trying to flash VZW FW on ATT MotoX (to get languages)

Gentlemen,
I brought a brand new, unlocked ATT MotoX to a friend out of the country, only to find out that the ATT version only has 4 languages compiled into it (ridicolous).
I've done some research and it seems like flashing the VZW ROM on the phone should do the trick (right?).
I've put the phone in fastboot and selected "recovery". After seeing the little Android image with "no command", I held the volume up button for about 6 seconds, followed by a tap of the power button (while still holding the volume button). It gave me the selection screen.
I picked "apply update from sdcard" and selected the "VZW_XT1060_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25.2_CFC_1FF.xml.zip" file I downloaded from here.
Here's the result:

Guys, my friend's English is not good. He needs the OS to be in his native language.
I am leaving town soon and would like to get the issue resolved and return the phone to him with all the languages, and able to work with non-US SIM Cards. Can you point me in the right direction? It will help us save time, since it's running fast.
Thanks in advance!

You can't flash AT&T phones with VZW firmware directly. You need to "port" the VZW firmware to the other model.

Thanks man.
I am reading threads that explain porting, but it seems like a steep learning curve, at least for the limited time I have at my disposal before departure.
I'll continue reading and try to figure this out. I am following this guide. I will report back if I encounter any issues.
In the mean time, if someone knows of a pre-ported VZW ROM that would work in my case - or - of a better guide to follow, please let me know, it would be immensely appreciated.
Cheers!

Ok, 1st issue: I extracted the Zip archives of both ROMs (ATT stock and VZW). Inside the archives is a few ".img", ".bin" files, one ".mbn" and one ".xml" file. I assume the directories and files mentioned in the guide are in the system.img file (1.1GB), correct? Should I extract it and work on those, or is there a better way?

Fist question... Is the ATT XT1058 you have SIM Unlocked or Bootloader unlocked?
SIM unlocking allows you to use the SIM from another carrier in your phone.. i.e. use a T-Mobile sim in an ATT branded X. That process does require you to have a different carrier's sim so the phone will prompt you to enter the unlock code. SIM unlock codes are available from many places around the web. It has no impact on rooting.
Bootloader unlocking allows you to flash a custom recovery, 3rd party roms, etc. By virtue of being able to flash a custom recovery you can easily root your phone. When it comes to the ATT XT1058 there is only only one place you can get a bootloader unlock code.. the Chinese Middleman (not as reliable as it once was, there is a BIG thread discussing it already).
If you are NOT bootloader unlocked, you will not be able to flash anything but the ATT XT1058 rom on that phone, no matter what you try. You will not be able to fully root and can not disable write protection once you have 4.4.2 on the phone.
As for adding languages, I thought there was another way, but I also thought that needed root and write protection disabled too.

And you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the ported rom you make if you follow those instructions.. (since it says you're ready to flash via CWM... and you can't flash CWM, TWRP or other custom recovery to the phone unless the bootloader is unlocked)
Edit: this is the other thread for adding languages.. basically its suggesting flashing the VZW ROM and then your modem files for your device -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/how-to-add-languages-to-moto-x-t2437807 which again needs unlocked bootloader.

Hey bud, thanks for taking the time to help me out and explain.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'd venture to say that it's SIM Unlocked.
Is there a quick way to tell for sure?
If it turns out being bootloader LOCKED, we're pretty much screwed then, right?
Thanks again man.

Boot the phone into Fastboot/Bootloader mode (see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-BootloaderMode.htm ) The status code will be there.
If you have an ATT XT1058, they are shipped Bootloader locked, and the only way to unlock them is to use the Chinese web site or Middeman selling the codes. So unless you bought the phone USED from someone who already did this, its bootloader is locked.

Pretty much, unless you don't mind voiding your phone's warranty, and then depending on the age of the phone, see the Chinese Middlman thread to buy a BOOTLOADER unlock code..
I've not tried to add languages to my phone, so I can't help you to do it. Just that based on the quick searches I've done, the results have always needed the phone's bootloader unlocked.

Can you upload adb, fastboot drivers somwhere again. Link which you share doesn't work

htc desire 510 **tampered** **unlocked**
I recently unlocked my HTC using the HTC dev website. Most forums said when asked which device you wish to unlock, select "all other devices" or something like that. I went through all the steps just as they mentioned. It was quick and simple, but then when it came to flash a recovery I noticed it said "**tampered**" above "**unlocked**". So I want allowed to click the "recovery" option from the boot loader. Instead a second screen appeared but for a sec and returned to the boot loader screen. I don't know whether to click on the "factory reset" and redo the process orrr wait till someone finds a solution to this problem. I have seen other videos of removing "**tampered**" but they need root access, which I can't do due to my situation.

HTC Desire 510 Virgin USA
Hi there,
I wish to know if you could guide me through some alternative approach to unlock for HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile.
This is a no contract phone with Virigin Mobile USA.
I purchased an unlock code from another service provider online. Followed the steps. When I insert another sim card, it does not prompt me to enter the Unlock Code and the phone keeps saying Invalid Sim.
Would you guys be able to help.

HTC desire 510 stuck in htc loading screen after unlocking bootloader
i have followed all the steps carefully and thoroughly and yes the bootloader was unlocked but once i open my phone it runs through the loading screen and into the home screen where there is a an unlock button. but every time i slide the unlock button it goes back to the htc loading screen and it keeps going that way? what does it mean? is there anything else i should do? is it bricked? can i still use my phone? its my first time doing this stuff..

Wait... patience is a virtue... did you wait at least 10 minutes? I have experienced similar situations and after waiting a while the screen goes black, of course, wait another 10 minutes, then press the power button and it may be ok! It happened to me!

What you're describing is the result of enabling/disabling bands. Think back at what you did... I doubt it's the result of unlocking the bootloader.

I had to use multiple methods to unlock. Since Boost Mobile is just catching up on making the lives of their customers even more miserable I did the following approach:
Instead of getting Android SDK and it's whole chunk of data [I can't because my speeds get throttled and I have no Wi-Fi]
I got a few tools which I asked around for and made my own Android folder in the C: drive which contained ALL the ADB and Fastboot data.
I did the first few steps via the CMD and after I obtained my unlock code I had to use another tool because the process of removing the rest of the bootloader data was a problem.
So basically after that and about 4 hours of work I did fine. [and I should've recorded it I am such an idiot.]

New banner **tampered** appeared after flashing htc-desire-510-64-bit-root-img
Mine is a Sprint Desire 510, followed the process carefully, was able to pull the token and flash the root.img from adb console. When I removed the battery and inserted it back to proceed to the OS, i am thrown back to the bootloader screen with a banner on top that says **TAMPERED**. What should I do?

The American version of this device is not 64bit. You should have not flashed the 64bit root img. Flash this kernel using fastboot flash boot HTC-Desire-510-Modded-Kernel-v1.img, install TWRP, and root from there. Not to plug my own posts but I created a guide to help with this.

Thanks for your clarification. I was able to push TWRP from adb. I then installed a custom ROM and everything is back to normal, except that the **Tampered** banner wont go away from the bootloader. Is there any known way of getting rid of that??

Not until S-Off is achieved.

Sorry if im bothering too much :/

Was told the VerizonDroid Turbo was rooted and needed to be unrooted.........plz help

did a lil research on google by what I was told........downloaded RSD Lite. When I went to look for phone info, noticed that there was NO IMEI info! No MIN, PRL Version, MEID,ICCID, IMEI, IMEI SV Unkown......No IP Address, No Wifi MAC Address or Bluetooth info...................there is a serial number tho. I can turn it on and play with it; it will go into bootloader or fastboot mode or what ever its called. From what ive read it came with kitkat version, it has lollipop installed. Is there anything I can do?

I'm thinking all that stuff should populate once you install a SIM card and put it on the network. If you really want a rooted phone, do it now with sunshine and unlock your bootloader. Otherwise, after you update to the latest marshmallow version, you will be forever hosed and not able to root at all. If the bootloader of states it is already unlocked, it's likely that sunshine has already been used.
A phone can't simply be unrooted to bet an update. The update will see the ROM is not pure stock, and fail. RSD can put a phone right, but can wipe the data. If rooted, why not put TWRP on, flash a stock rom in TWRP, saving data, reflash stock recovery in ADB, take update, TWRP back on, back up pure new-stock, mess with ROM. Little involved? Sure. More so than re-doing all your apps and settings? HELL NO!

Who told you it was rooted?
Who told you it "needed" to be unrooted? Your post is very confusing.
I won't have a phone that is not rooted. All my phones WILL be rooted. Rooted means you are the "admin", you are the real owner.
In bootloader mode, what does the "status code" say? O, 3 ? What number do you see?

Okay, if status code is 0, that means your bootloader is locked. As long as you haven't taken all the over the air updates, you can still unlock it (and then root it). Follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

If your bootloader is locked with status code of 0 (zero), your phone has NEVER been rooted and the bootloader has never been unlocked.
As @TheSt33v says, as long as you are not on the very latest firmware from March 2017, then you can unlock your bootloader and root your phone. Verizon released an update last month to block unlocking the bootloader on the Droid Turbo XT1254. Do NOT take any OTA updates!
TWRP is a "custom recovery" to replace stock recovery. It lets you make backups of your system (to restore your phone to earlier time in case of disaster) but also lets you "flash" zipped files like SuperSu to root.
If you are new to this, go read his guide in the link above, VERY CAREFULLY. All the information can be a little overwhelming. But do NOT take any OTA updates if you have not already. Because if you are on the very latest firmware, you are out of luck in unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Good luck.

Reading the guide we told you about, have you unlocked your bootloader yet with Sunshine exploit? That's necessary prerequisite before trying to flash TWRP recovery.
If you haven't done that yet, which firmware version are you on? Settings/About Phone/Firmware -- or something close to that. Let's make sure you are eligible to unlock your bootloader before we get into detailed discussion. If you've already unlocked the bootloader, then ignore this question.

You can install a file manager app from the play store. ES is probably the most popular free one but I prefer File Manager+.
Definitely do more research on unlocking the bootloader and flashing things, once you get root you can make mistakes which can brick your phone. But with that responsibility comes more freedom to do what you want to your device.

[GUIDE] Convert International (GM1917) OnePlus 7 Pro to T-Mobile (GM1915) firmware

Here's the tool. Freshly modded by yours truly.
https://mega.nz/#!uNwERIDK!1fbu5KGWH441r0EFwHb_rgEamjax068RAjT-Ze9ELVc
You know what to do - power down, hold volume up and volume down, connect USB, run it.
This will convert you to the T-Mobile firmware. T-Mobile users with the non-TMO phone who run this tool and convert will get better WiFI Calling support + T-Mobile bloat + possibly working RCS. You will lose dual SIM support.
If you wind up wanting to restore back to international firmware, grab the international (GM1917) MSM tool from the 'Guac For All' thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691
Enjoy!

how's RCS working for you? i have the international version too and thinking about switching to see if its better for my MMS and calling

This works great! Don't know if I will keep it TMobile or not, but working great so far.

RCS chat seams to be working. Although I don't know anyone else that has it to test it out.

I did notice that the fingerprint sensor is not nearly as good with the T-Mobile firmware. It worked almost every time when it was international, but with the T-Mobile firmware installed, it failed most times, so I disabled it.

On the stock T-Mobile ROM does it turn off the cellular radio and disconnect from the tower when wifi calling is connected?
I remember my old T-Mobile Samsung doing this and it would save a lot of battery life.

Also quick question ...i have a tmobile op7pro unlocked bootloader , rooted and on intl fw 9.5.8 ....what i want to do is go back to tmobile 9.5.8 and root /twrp ..... not used to this whole A/B slot thing...so what are my options? Msm tool back to tmobile boot device, turn on dev options make sure usb debugging/ oem unlock is on etc at this point is this where i can just flash twrp in fastboot? Or does this not work on tmobile fw?....because if so thats cool..im sure once twrp is installed i can flash maqisk etc

From I can see, yes this is the same thing as slayer's thread. This thread is directed at T-Mobile users with the international model who want the T-Mobile software. Whereas slayer's thread is directed at those with the T-Mobile model who need to get back to stock.
As far as I know they both are the same, its just two different threads for two different reasons.
So either will work the same. It shouldn't matter if they're both the same T-Mobile firmware.
EDIT: Model number shows different on this build. See OP response.
If you just want rooted stock with Magisk and TWRP, once you're back on T-Mobile stock you can use the all in one tool to flash TWRP and install Magisk.
You shouldn't need to oem unlock the bootloader again. Once you unlock it, it always stays unlocked unless you manually relock it yourself.
All in one tool here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ol-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3930862
Extract that download and open tool all in one.
It should show adb device Oneplus 7 Pro at the top. Check fastboot drivers and usb connection if it doesn't. Also make sure your screen is on with usb debugging allowed.
Then click Recovery Flasher and Device Rooter.
Select "TWRP OP7P" from the list where it shows "MANUAL" in all caps.
Then check the box to root after boot, select the latest Magisk version from the drop down menu.
Click the button to start the process. It may ask to reboot into fastboot/bootloader, choose yes. If it works as it should, it will automatically download TWRP and Magisk and load them onto your phone.

Thanks bro yeah I know I won't have problems with the bootloader I was just worried about the stock boot image.... I thought I saw somewhere that you needed a modified one

It is not the same thing. The tool in Slayer's thread will only work for converting from T-Mobile (GM1915) to international (GM1917 software, but the phone still displays the GM1915 model number in settings). The tool in this thread will only work for converting from International (GM1917) to T-Mobile (GM1915 software, but the phone still displays the GM1917 model number in settings).
Feel free to give it a try, you'll see XD

The stock boot image is injected when Majisk is installed, making it modified. It should install fine with the stock boot image/kernel. :good:

Cool. U the man thanks:good:

Is it possible this can be modded for T-Mobile devices converted to International to go back to T-Mobile firmware? I ask for troubleshooting the sleep-of-death issue some of us have been experiencing and also in case of needing to warranty the device.

If you have the T-Mobile version you should use this download instead to return to stock:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...obile-one-plus-7-pro-msm-tool-revert-t3936528
------------------------------------------------------
I loaded this on my phone and for anyone who wants to know, Safetynet works and L1 widevine (HD Netflix) works. I'm not sure how this happened, but the bootloader relocked on its own. (maybe after a factory reset, maybe I clicked something by accident) Either way you can lock the bootloader running this if needed as long as you aren't rooted or don't have a custom recovery, and it will work okay.
Edit: Locked bootloader wants unlock token to unlock now. Do NOT lock bootloader.
RCS works as well but visual voicemail doesn't even work on the stock ROM. I know this isn't a fault of the ROM, its a Oneplus or T-Mobile issue, but if Android supports built-in visual voicemail without using the terrible T-Mobile VVM app, it should work as intended. I remember visual voicemail working fine on my Nexus 5.
T-Mobile please fix this.

Ok so basically u can flash back to tmobile but it locks the bootloader... .so now if u want to unlock and STAY on tmobile u have to get an unlock token from one plus.....or just flash international and unlock again with command easily.....thats what i was worried about happening. Crazy how the bootloader gets locked again

Quick question to any one on the TMO version. Do the TMO firmware have video calling like must of TMO phones.

Has anyone had any luck getting an Unlock Token for a GM1917? I tried the unlock site and it says I need a valid IMEI, and when I called OnePlus, the support rep said they only have the tools for the 6t.
Might try calling again today in case the late night call center was just ill equipt

Unlock OEM without internet?

Hello,
I have the model XT1965-2
I was wearing a custom rom, so I went back to stock. I put it, blocked the bootloader, and started the system, but the wifi and mobile data were not working, so I unlocked again to reinstall the rom, asked to unlock in Developer Mode >> OEM Unlock
But there was a message saying that an internet connection was needed. Ideas on how to solve?
Thanks.

you need to go to the motorola bootloader unlock website on an internet enabled device and it is pretty easy to understand.

if you did it on motorola's website you should have an email with that unlock code

Okay, let's go.
In Fastboot:
fastboot oem unlock (email code here)
(bootloader) Check 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings > Developer
(bootloader) Options
OKAY [ 0.022s]
finished. total time: 0.022s
Now in: ' OEM unlocking ' in Android Settings > Developer
Says: "Connect to the Internet or contact your carrier "
Screenshot: imgur.com/a/sBgWsvh
But how will I connect to the Internet if WiFi and mobile data do not work?
No problems unlocking via Fastboot, is in cell phone settings

you will probably need an internet connection to enable that option.
did you try the fastboot command after enabling usb debugging?

i don't know then. i searched online for a bit but didnt find another option. maybe try flashing stock stock again but minus the bootloader line to see if you can get wifi working. or use a different device as a wifi hotspot or bluetooth tether

The message that appears on the bootloader "Flashing locked"? because if it is, I have the same problem!

@Coxinha2139
No, that's definitely not the same problem! Your message "flashing locked" means you have a locked bootloader. To unlock it visit Motorola's support page.
But to fix @Feelipe Mashiro problem see this thread:

I stayed with my device like this for a month, today I contacted Motorola and they asked me to send them to an authorized person who would perform the concert, even with the bootloader unlocked on the site.
I tested all possible software to perform the repair, recent rom's, but the only way is eMMC / JTag repair.

If you root and install magisk, it will override and let you turn on that switch in developer mode.

any solution?

Here is a general instruction for this tool
https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
The tool itself cannot unlock the bootloader on your device! It's a "reverse tethering tool". More information about how it works:
