Hey everyone, my Fiancee has a moto X for the ntelos network. Somehow she has pretty much destroyed the software. To the point where the camera does not work, I cannot even factory reset the phone through the bootloader. The only thing I have been able to do is switch it from Dalvik, to ART. Which is only a bandaid. Does anyone have a working Kernel as well as a working OEM flash for Ntelos? The only thing I can think to do is use the WinDroid tool to attempt to wipe and replace the software on there. I used to be heavy into the flash/ROM game, but the past few years I have not done much at all. Any advice with this would be great as well. Thanks!
Camera issue is hardware problem. Change camera/motherboard

i have a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708937, im no longer on metro so and havent been in about month. if you've never flashed a moto droid before you have a lot of reading to do. you can start with my thread, and go from there to the howard form link. theres a little more you have to do since metro updated the password change for hudini devices. if your totally lost in my thread go to howard and seek help there, in metro pcs smartphone flashing forum.
thanks have a good day
i was hoping that i didnt have to do that since its already flashed to metro pcs
I hope im not to late to help but all you have to do is find a way to access the apn and then turn it on. You can use an app like better cut or smartbar. I only mention smartbar because thats how I came across the apn

I have a Moto X first gen Developer Edition. I "upgraded" to Lollipop BIG MISTAKE for me!
numerous bugs and apps hanging up (either white or black screen). Not receiving Data over 4G LTE despite a topped up account and turning that on in the settings. Multiple times. Factory reset made things more buggy, not less.
Desperately want to downgrade to KitKat as phone is useless to me right how except as a pocket sized 'butt-let' sized wi-fi device.
Please, how can I downgrade.
I am sad, I this is like Microsoft in the 90's all over again. Uglier skin, moving stuff for no reason and it doesn't work well, all billed as an .. 'upgrade'.
thanks

You have 2 options
1. Flash another rom (stable) im on lollipop without bugs i can send you the link of my rom if you want
2. Download the motorola factory image and restore all things except motoboot.bin and gpt.bin, most users say it works but im not sure, it can be dangerous, if you choose this option you should wait a profesional

Lollipop was a mistake
I also upgraded to Lollipop on my 1st Gen Moto X. It keeps crashing.
Phone has no contacts. The devic is getting overheater without mobile data or wifi or any location services.
Battery is draining out almost every 2 hours.
Please suggest me a way to go back to kitkat.
Contrary to what some might tell you there is NO 100% SAfE way to downgrade.
For more, see the thread link in my Signature.

Guys . Use the search button next time .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/guide-faq-how-to-downgrade-5-1-to-4-4-4-t3182118
- This worked for me (XT1052 - unlocked BL). But again, you're doing this at your own risk .
I have bought the second hand device over e-bay and from the beginning I have some problems with it.
Unfortunately I didn't tested it much when I received it because it was still on 5.0.1 stock and rooted. My wish was to have a stock device so it could receive OTA updates as lately I don't have a time to play with the phone.
I have read the beginners guide and followed the guide to return it to stock. I have flashbooted stock recovery, latest Lolipop radio, kernel, system and locked the bootloader. After booting into OS the device has informed that there is a system update. I downloaded it OTA and it installed without a problem. Now the trouble begun when I tried to use the phone. I noticed that youtube won't play any file, Kodi also. Sometimes it even rebooted the phone, but I noticed that when hardware acceleration in Kodi is turned off it plays OK. I thought that maybe video drivers are not OK and tried to check how video benchmark works. Basemark X on medium quality went OK so I thought that I did something wrong in a process of returning the device into stock and tried with a custom ROM.
The decision was to install xTraSmooth . As I didn't had a time to read everything afterwards I found that it is Android M preview and that I should update bootloader and radio as well. But Youtube started to work, Kodi also. Than I noticed that wifi signal is dropping so I decided not to update bootloader but to return to Lolipop and I installed Chroma ROM. After it flashed youtube and Kodi problem started again. I flashed elementalx kernel and Youtube worked but when I turned on hardware acceleration in Kodi it wasn't working.
Than I returned again to xTraSmooth but updated the radio, Youtube and Kodi were working fine, at least I thought. Yesterday I discovered that on some youtube 1080p videos video just freezes the picture after maybe a minute and sound continues to work. When I lower the quality bellow hd it is OK. Strange is that some 1080p youtube videos work without a problem.
Also I bought a slimport adapter and it doesn't work (I have only tested it with xTraSmooth M preview 2). I thought that an adapter is not good but tried it with my cousin Nexus 5 and it is OK.
Don't have a Chromecast and I tried a Miracast with a build.prop hack but the picture is terrible (xTraSmooth M preview 1).
I'm starting to think that my device is defective. Could you please help? Sorry for a quite long explanation.
Please edit this into paragraphs and I'll read it, but I'm not going to read it as it is. Nothing personal, but it's difficult to read block text.

Sorry for writing the post as one block, I have split it into paragraphs now. Hope that it would be easier to read it although it is very long. I tried to explain my problem as better as I could with less words possible.

Thanks for doing that.
Youtube should work fine. I would stick to Lollipop 5.1.1 builds. It doesn't have to be stock. The preview is just a preview so some things may not work.
I cannot comment on XtraSmooth as I haven't used it.
I do have Kodi, so if there is anything you want me to test on the rom I use, please let me know.
Nexus 6 doesn't support Slimport or MHL. I've used EZCast and that seems to work fine, picture resolution wise - though performance is poor, so no good for games or video.
I dont think your device is faulty. I would recommend trying some of the latest stock roms or AOSP roms after a full factory reset and trying again with youtube. What carrier are you on / country are you in?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried Chroma ROM which is ASOP 5.1.1. and Youtube / Kodi didn't worked.
Kodi had a general problem, I was watching a stream of Sons of Anarchy with Genesis plugin but I believe that the same thing will be with any other video. Maybe if it was a video stored on internal memory it would be OK. I'll test this
Sorry to hear that Nexus 6 doesn't support Slimport, I read that it does on GSM arena, NDTV gadgets so I didn't check any further. Does anybody tried Chromcast? I bought this phone mostly to connect it with TV to watch videos and I would appreciate a lot if somebody has a working solution.
OK I will try again to wipe the whole phone and reset it from the beginning.
I'm from Croatia and carrier is Tomato but I connect the phone on internet for any serious transmission over my home wifi.

There is a thread (by pokedroid) about issues after relocking the bootloader.

I was trying to find pokedroid thread but I didn't find anything I could use. All I found out of his threads about relocking was the questions from 2 guys who were asking about messing with their company phone. Could you please lnk the tread you are referring to. Thanks.
Anyway I had some time to play with the phone. I installed stock 5.1.1 and relock the bootloader again, I tried Benzo-Rom and XtraSmooth (both 5.1.1) I tried stock M preview and they all had a problem with a video hardware acceleration. VLC even popped out the message that there was a problem with a hardware acceleration and proposed to turn it off.
I tried internet streams, streams over my LAN, playing video from internal memory. Every time the same problem.
I tried to downclock GPU in Benzo-ROM to 400 MHz and that repaired a problem but just in some cases.
After everything I installed again XtraSmooth M preview and almost all videos were playable. I checked GPU clock in CPU-z because I thought that it may be downclocked but it was 600 MHz (max). Well I won't complain for extra power but it is very strange that hardware acceleration works stable on overclocked GPU on preview OS and it doesn't work on stock clock on stable OS release.
Finally after being couple days on XtraSmooth M preview I tried to watch some video from facebook app but it rebooted my phone. I was going through developers options in setting menu and turned on "Disable HW overlays" and after this every video is playing ok.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
After a lot of trying I finally decided to ask Motorola for a help but unfortunately when entering IMEI number it was rejected. Now I am worried that the phone might be stolen and changed IMEI number. Maybe during that change something has gone wrong and that is why the phone is not working as it should be. Is there any way to check this without going to Motorola service because I live too far. The guy that has sold the phone isn't registered at ebay any more, which I discovered just today.

Many thanks, it showed that it is not blacklisted so I tryed again at Motorola pages and now it was OK, maybe it was some problem on the page because I tried about 5 - 6 times writing it all over again.
I have continued trying to repair the phone but unfortunately I have broken it more.
My WiFi connectin was breaking very often, signal was week, I found how to repair and rebuild persist folder and after the process sensors are not working. I have applied the following:
I have rebooted in TWRP and enered the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
e2fsck -y /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
Persist exist but in TWRP I can see it only as a file not as folder.
After I have tried to fastboot everything from the scratch (bootloader, radio, system, userdata . . . ) several times. I have wiped everything from TWRP. I have tried to return to stock 5.0.0. over nexus root kit, than update it to 5.1.1. but still sensors do not work. Is there any method to return this?
Just to update with the situation: I have installed CM 12.1 hoping that it will repair the issue somehow. Unfortunately it didn't.
Then I went through the root folder and folder /persist exist and it has sens.req file On the other hand it seems that my wifi and data reception are working much better. Is it possible to copy /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist file from some other phone into mine to repair the problem?
I have been reading more and maybe found out what has happened. I think that I have messed EFS but I am not sure as I didn't do a backup. Can somebody please answer is my conclusion true and could it be that the phone will be repaired with just a software correction? If yes is there any mothod to repair ESN other than sending it to service because I would have to send it out of my country (nexus is not selling here and none of the services I contacted will take it for repair).
So I have the T-Mobile variant of the LG G4. I had it unlocked straight from the carrier a while ago and all seemed well. Recently I noticed a huge amount of battery drain and 4G LTE usage from T-Mobile's pre-installed apps--mainly com.tmobile.pr or something which is the "My Account" app (imagine being at 60% left with 27% of the drain having been an app and only 9% the screen. Yeah, it was that bad)
This I obviously found unacceptable, so I went ahead to try and uninstall the bloatware. Lo, much to my dismay, Tmobile has locked it down so you can't uninstall the bloatware, and you can only disable it. This alone irked me enough that I wasn't satisfied with just a disabling. I knew I wouldn't rest until I had obliterated it.
I've had plenty of android phones over the years and done my fair share of rooting and flashing ROMs and the like, but I hadn't touched that aspect of my G4 because I wanted a dependable device for school and I didn't want to mess around with it. I knew I'd have to root it to get rid of the tmobile bloatware so I went and did that using the Low effort root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765). When this was done a lot of my background processes started to continuously crash. I decided to go ahead and put TWRP as the custom recovery and just go ahead and get some dependable 6.0 ROM, and I found a couple of them.
When I flashed the first ROM, the play store services were crashing so I found the google apps package for marshmallow and flashed that too. It seemed to fix the issue. Yet when I would click on my School's WiFi at the setup (which is WPA2 Enterprise) it would crash and say "Unfortunately WiFi has stopped working." I thought that perhaps I mucked something up in the flashing of the ROM, or that maybe there was an issue with the ROM in general, so I decided to just flash another ROM entirely (after factory resetting it all the way). Along the same time as this I found a slightly more modified and feature packed version of marshmallow by this lad here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-genisys-rom-1-0-classic-v10g-t3192649). I decided to go ahead and use this one since it had a h811 version there, that involved flashing a h815 and then flashing a patch.
The "Unfortunately WiFi stopped working" issue persisted, however. I found this odd. I then noticed that if I click any other network that ISN'T the WPA2 enterprise network my school is working that everything seems to work fine.
I went ahead and factory reset it all the way again in the hopes that would fix it. No luck.
I booted it to safe mode and tried to connect to the WiFi network from there. No luck.
I downloaded a third party WiFi app off cellular and tried to connect from there. No luck.
I can't enter the WiFi's name and try to enter directly because it crashes there too.
I can't "Forget" the network as it's never joined that network before so there's nothing to forget. It does let me enter the advanced options but a direct press causes it to crash.
So throughout ROMs and wipes and safe modes and all, this one issue has persisted, where my phone's WiFi will crash when it tries to connect to my school's WPA2 Enterprise network. I've tried plentiful fixes short of flashing back to a 5.0/5.11 stock (which I'm hesitant to do because I read something about phones bricking after they downgrade from Marshmallow using the .kdz files or something?).
I'd really appreciate any help that y'all can provide. I've read these forums for ages but this will be my first time making an account because I can't find anybody else with the same issue and its proving to be quite a pain.
tl;dr wifi isn't working with only one particular network and no fix I've tried under this sun has worked so far. help will be appreciated pls
Have you tried flashing this rom here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-xtreme-rom-v1-0-7-28-15-t3167667
I am using this one here and I have no issues using wifi. I cannot speak for the 6.0 roms because LG has not dropped the sources for the Tmo variant yet.

I got the brown leather variant from Tmobile and it only says H811 as far as I can tell. Not sure of if its the "n" version or not.
I have not tried that rom but ill be sure to give it a go, hoping it will help solve the issue. I did some additional testing and can confirm the issue lies with all WiFi networks that employ WPA2 Enterprise security.
Will there be any issue with the Rom when downgrading from Android 6.0? I was reading about phone's bricking when trying to downgrade certain versions or bootloaders on the tmobile variants.
I'm pretty sure going back to stock 5.1 will be fine. The Tmo variant hasnt been upgraded to 6.0 yet and the ports don't update the bootstacks. Read here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/global-marshmallow-6-0-port-to-h811-t3232760
Update: It seems that any Android 6.0 flash cuts off the ability to connect to Enterprise wireless networks. I went ahead and flashed to the debloated stock rom on the thread you mentioned, but it cut off the ability to record video. As such, I went for the xTreme version that you mentioned, and flashed the camera restores and all.
Everything works fine now as far as I can tell. I also got rid of the Tmobile applications draining the battery and all that. All should be well. Thanks again for the help
I have a Moto X ver 5.1 developer edition that I've recently rooted just yesterday. I installed some apps from Chainfire, but the one in particular I want to talk about is Pry-Fi.
I suspect that this app could had done it because the day before my phone was behaving fine while both WiFi and the app running at the same time but today was different.
What I did differently was that I decided to start Pry-Fi before turning on my Wi-Fi and that's when the trouble happened and the WiFi option to turn it on is greyed-out.
I'll sorry that this doesn't really make much sense, but it's where I'm at now.
Do anyone else have a similar problem that's willing to help? Thank you!
UPDATE: I did a wipe on my phone and didn't fix the problem. At least, I know it's a more internal issue.
UPDATE_2: I fixed the problem,I just re-flashed the stock ROM if anyone cared. lol I did find out that it was Pry-Fi that ****ed my WiFi, don't know specifically what had happened but I do know that Pry-Fi was connected.
