Hey, I flashed a battery mod with Gordon on my s4 active and it caused the phone to mess up a lot. It now constantly says "error, System UI has stopped." Every 12 seconds or so and I have to wait for it to come up to do each action i.e. home button or typing a letter of anything. I have no notification bar at all, can't swipe it down or anything. I reset to factory and I'm at a loss. I have all busybox applets I have root etc what do I do?
Thanks for the help if you can
In case you don't know Gordon allows s4 actives to flash zip files..
I had a similar problem flashing call recording mod using flash Gordon only way I could fix was to flash mf1 download via odin. This is if your have att s4 active not sure about i9295

Q&A for Root z1s on 4.4.4 + Deodex

Hey there! I encountered errors after doing your tutorial, but I was able to fix some errors such as a non-loading YouTube app and SnapChat giving an "internal" error. But I am not able to fix the "No Connection" problem on Google Play after. Is there anyway to fix this?
EDIT: I got it fixed following a tutorial from androidcentral! I am filled with glee right now!
Here is the tutorial.
Unfortunately, No connection - retry in Play Store can mean lots of things.
Another solution that you might like to try involves the creation of a new Google account (this worked for me because I did not want to perform a Factory Reset): -
Close Play Store if it is open.
Click on the following options in turn:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All -> Google Play Store -> Clear Data -> OK
Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Add account -> Google -> Next -> Create
Follow the prompts to set up a new Google account.
Start Play Store. Once you have accepted the licence agreement, Play Store should now connect to the Internet and start working again.
Press the Menu button then select Accounts and pick your old Google account from the list (this will restore your installed applications and purchases).
Unfortunately, your Android applications will now be associated with the new Google Account.
You can manually open any applications (GMail, GTalk/Hangouts, etc.) associated with the new Google Account and configure them to use the old one.

hi, sorry for slow reply, i'm very busy this time. Which rom version are u using? this root method can root version 14.4.B.0.37, not latest version. So if you want to root, flash back to 14.4.B.0.37. I think this cannot root latest version because new version have new kernel version

Thank you so much! I just found this coincidentally SECONDS before you responded. Hopefully it works great. Now, when I lose root each time I update, I can just come back to this application and see if there is a new version?

Wug keeps everything up to date. Shouldn't be a problem. Also, you won't be able to update when you're rooted. The update checks for any modifications and will error out. You will have to flash the update manually, or via the toolkit under advanced. There is a guide under general about how to update manually via fastboot, which is a pretty simple thing. I'm a bit cautious about flashing anything manually and I was able to do it without any hiccups. I'll grab a link for it.

I just sent back the N6 that had the screen burn out, I got my RMA device and its on just 5.1 not 5.1.1 should I update it or keep it does it matter? Also this N6 is doing some of the same issues that the other device did before it burned out. The screen has a lot of flickering and triangle flashes but only when I'm using my web browser, also, today I got off of a phone call and the proximity sensor failed to turn the screen on. What's up with that? I'm starting to wonder about these N6's man. Any ideas guys. I think I may need to just flash the s#-t out of this thing

Unlock it. Fastboot flash the updated 5.1.1 factory image and see what you have. If bad send it back. If good it all good.

I'm using adblock browser. I just updated to Windows 10 so now my adb is all jacked up for some reason. When I turned on the phone it said that there was a 5.1.1 update ready to be installed. Should I just take that one before I unlock the BL and root or do the unlock first? Thanks to all of you who are helping me out. Good people.

Unlock first. Too many been bricked on that update with bootloader locked. I wouldn't take it. Win 10 didn't jack with my adb. I have full SDK tho. Some are using the 15 minute adb/fastboot. I would search and try to reinstall it. Does your usb debug work as far as showing device MTP on PC. If not you lost the Google driver.

More than likely that browser is the flicker problem. I use Chrome but with Adaway and MOAB. No adds anywhere. lol
I'll have to check. I'm so gunshy now I only hooked this to pc just to put music on it. I'll unlock BL and try the update after. Thanks

If able to put music on your driver is good. Need ADB/Fastboot working or you are already dead in the water.

Latest for all carriers is I version unless you are on TMobile then it is the one that says TMobile only. They don't have the security update yet. No need for TWRP yet as long as unlocked. Get it booted and see if everything works. Do NOT relock. DO NOT use toolkit. Do it manually with fastboot commands.

The new I version has the Stagefright security fix otherwize the Z version is fine. That is what I am on. Haven't updated yet.. You can try OTA as long as unlocked. Have seen posts that say OTA won't work unlocked. Not sure. If it bootloops and it is locked you are hosed again and have to RMA.

I can confirm that the latest update for the Verizon Moto Z Force patches the quadrooter vulnerabilities.
I took the risk and updated to see if it would and it did.
I would bet money that if you want to root this phone then DO NOT TAKE THIS UPDATE!
I figured this would happen, thank god I trusted my instincts and have been postponing the update since it came out.
Quadrooter doesn't help with unlocking the bootloader that we'd need for root on MM though(?).
Right, but still might have been useful for a soft root...

Why would you softroot anyway? We have a BL unlock. Just wait for a recovery and flash su

For Moto unlocked devices (developer editions) which have not been released yet.
This is a Verizon OTA for the Verizon Moto Z Force which have locked bootloaders with Verizon signed keys. Unless some amazing leak happens our bootloaders won't be unlocked anytime soon.

Thanks. I took the update. Actually 2. I guess my phone was a bit behind. But, I have been able in the past, using the Debloater tool, to disable the apk for updates. I just don't know what it is for this phone and none of them seem to sound like an update package. If we can identify the apk we can turn it off. Maybe it is done some other way on this phone.
