it can be found in the cyanogenmods forums.
not sure if anyone has tried it but when i flash it i get "pixel experience wizard keeps closing" error upon bootup. perhaps i used the wrong gapps but not sure yet...

this has been the most finicky phone as far as flashing etc is concerned i've ever encountered.

Hi guys, my wife has the Moto Z3 play and suddenly the video quality has become very poor and grainy, any ideas, I cleared data and restarted the phone with no luck, I also installed the modded gcam app and this is also poor quality. The phone is only 5 weeks old and is undamaged. Any help would be appreciated.
My bf is a computer programmer. He's done SOMETHING to my z3 in which I ABSOLUTELY cannot get it rooted. Steps please for stubborn problems....KEY WORD.....
Has anyone got the z3 messi rooted ? If so how? I know its probably on here somewhere but I haven't found it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Noob Question
Hello,
I have the Moto Z3 Play XT1929-4 with Android 8.1.0
I would like to root my phone without erasing anything if possible.
Is there a simple , easy to follow tutorial applicable to my phone / Android version? I tried searching the forum but could not find anything specific.
I tried Kingroot and Kingoroot apks on my phone and neither worked. I am totally fine using my PC to do this.
My goal is to be able to work with my Waze voices but I cannot access the Data folder unless my phone is rooted so I don't need anything fancy.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you !
I have been off XDA for a few years. I recently got a Verizon Moto Z3 put onto another carrier other than Verizon, It is working well but I am curious if I would be able to Flash a Stock Non Bloated Rom (likely a Verizon rom Id assume, since its a Verizon phone originally) to the device with out affecting its port over... please provide any help you may be able to. Phone was taken from Verizon and moved to Metro by Tmobile. If you need additional details please ask.
I am familiar with Odin and the Flashing process, just a few yearas out of practice.
Thanks
What's the sku for the bootloader unlockable model? Is it XT1929-4? I'm about to pick one of these up and I want to get the right one.
So to my understanding since I happened upon the Verizon variant of the z3 I'm pretty much screwed as far as unlocking the bootloader and rooting this bad boy huh.

You can always try Motorola unlocking page
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
But if it was bought through Verizon it's not likely.

Ya I tried that first thing. Pulled the bootloader code from the phone and ran it but it's not eligible to be unlocked. Some one told me patching the boot.img file with magisk would give root but with a picked bootloader I'm kinda weary of trying it.

Afraid to Update to Pie?
So I bought 2 XT1929-4 Z3's, one for me & one for my wife. I did all theuupdates (ota) & rooted it w/Magisk. All was well until I went to use the camera. It just wouldn't work, ever. So I unrooted & returned it. I'm now using the one I got for my wife and I'm scared to accept the Pie OTA because of my first experience. This phone works great & I haven't unlocked it or rooted it. I don't want to ruin this one too.
can anyone tell me if they've done this OTA without issues?
Lately my phone is sluggish. When I open an app it is a delay of about a minute and when playing a game it constantly freezes and all apps give a pop up message of the app is not responding to wait or close the app. Is there any way to fix this?

Xperia V - "STAMINA mode" alternative
Please, can you recommend me any app that works on the same principle as a real STAMINA MODE?
Most important feature:
"Another really useful functionality, is that you can actually choose to white list your most important apps, allowing them to run in the background even when Battery STAMINA Mode is turned on. This way you will get notifications even when your phone rests in your bag or pocket. This is handy if you still want to be able to receive instant messages or IP calls at any time."
I found many apps in Play Store, but the problem is that they have a "WHITE LIST" feature, but this works on another pronciple - see below.
It does NOT stop any app and background data when the white-listed app is running. .
But I need this: Stop all backround data, stop all other apps and keep only 2 my white-listed apps running (chat + notes).

If I root it, I can then install "original" ported Stamina for Xperia V from here: http://d.pr/f/zufy

"Super stamina" is just the stock "extended stanby mode" on xperia T and V. It's not the stamina mode of newer devices.
@nreuge: Really? I thought it is a ported original SONY STAMINA (based on the picture).
How do you know it?

Ok, this one is a real port of the new Stamina mode. But unlocked bootloader is required...
1. Which STAMINA did you mean previously?
2. Why did you mention unlock bootloader? I thought I can safely relock bootloader, or not? (In case of warranty claim.)
Many thanks.

The system app for "extended stanby mode" of T and V is superstamina.apk. It's why one call it superstamina.
Regarding the bootloader, I've never tried to unlock it, though I'm considering doing it. Yes, you can relock, but if one day your device is broken down and that you need warranty claim, will you be able to relock?... It's at your own risk!!
1. Yes, you can relock it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092227
2. The author of this Superstamina port wrote me that it is not compatible with XV
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40501794
So, we need to use this one (http://d.pr/f/zufy) - that is working with XV.

well, days ago i installed .145 firmware and flashed the custom rom. after flashing the CFW it shows my rom is .140 but im sure it is originally based on .145
now im goin to flash the zip u gave me but i want to remove the __MACOSX folder and screenshot file in ur zip folder and u removed so many other files in the framework folder. i think its better to replace the framework folder as chinese one bcoz it might be modified framework,services, bla bla files.
Correct steps should be:
1 - flash .145 FW via Flashtool (e.g. this one: https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=vUJGu4EeBG9bSU7iknGU3ak3+5zc1GqIufSoaCgwzAQ=&locale=en)
2 - unlock bootloader
3 - ROOT the firmware
4 - Install e.g. ES File Explorer
5 - Add or Replace only these 6 files below in /SYSTEM folder (of course you need to be rooted)
in /APP:
SemcPowerSaveModule.apk
Settings.apk
SuperStamina.apk
in /BIN:
xssm
in /FRAMEWORK:
core.jar
framework.jar
6 - then reboot
Let me know if it does work.
Failed bro :/
Bootloop !
Now i will flash the clean .145 firmware and will test it again. if again fails we lost it again
In that chinese forum no one giving replys to make it work
---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
btw while flashing the .145 firmware i want to exclude the Kernal in flash tool bcoz i already flashed the chinese kernal for S-mode. is it safe to power on the os ?
You need .145 FW - it is written there in the title of that forum thread (if you use Google Translate).
I recommend at first flash FW via Flastool and then that kernel also via Flashtool (.ELF).

CyanogenMOD 11 for Android One Devices
By @varun.chitre15
Feel free to ask questions, or answer questions by others or interact with developer himself.
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
Please flash this ROM only if you know what you're doing!
P.S. Keep checking this thread for updated FAQ's and Tricks and Tips.
Question about installation via recovery.
CM 11 is based on Android 4.4.x specification.
But most of the phones with Android 4.2.x has arecopvery compatible with CM 10.x (not compatible with CM11).
Is there any problem to install this ROM (CM1)9 with a recovery not compatible CM11?
Magnetic sensor not working
I want to know that if this project can be put on an automated build server like Jenkins? It'll be very useful for developers and users as well. We'll be able to fix bugs instantly and any upstream changes in the CM sources will be automatically included. This will make the development faster and users wouldn't have to wait for long time for the releases, ROMs can be built on the Jenkins server and OTA Update support can be given to the ROM.
ThankYou

And people visiting this thread, please help me with something. I'm totally confused with Redmi 1S and Android One. I just don't understand, what should I buy? Redmi has excellent camera, good chipset, processor and GPU. But it has heating and RAM problems. But both of them are bugs in MIUI, I will replace them with CyanogenMod. On the other hand, Android One is also gearing up. Good (but 5MP) camera, Mediatek chipset and continuos updates for next 2 years. I'll install CM on it too if I get it. Please someone suggest me a good pick. Thankyou

That'd be possible once Varun submits his trees for official support to CM, he will do it once he fixes all bugs.
And to your next question, its up to your priorities. No one in my family owns an Android One device personally but my uncle owns Redmi 1S and its pretty good. I have used both and both are excellent devices. Redmi is no way going to live up to 2 years if it doesn't gets kernel sources. So see what matters to you most.
I have heard that unlocking bootloader will trigger a hardware change which allows the technician to check whether the bootloader is locked or not. Is that true ? Does it really affect our warranty ? Do we even have to care about it ?

@aveekbhat
Thank you bro for the detailed reply. Am gonna try it once I get my 64gb Microsd Card and use Link2SD plus.
Original Post:
Heya everyone!
I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on 4.3.
I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. (Maybe because I didn't fully unroot) Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the resource thread but the guide it links to is missing a file so that's basically a no go.
Here's my about device(it's also rooted and I have safestrap):
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-root-at-galaxy-note-3.html
Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.
Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!
P. S. Would this thread help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnl1-4-4-4-12-24-t2983357
Both mrkhigh's and 440bro's posts were insanely useful. Take the time to read carl1961's guide as well. Scroll down to the nc2 files section. The same steps are also included there as well as the same files you can use. Scroll a bit further down and you'll see screenshots(in hidden tags) of the files loaded correctly into Odin. There are several setups so use the one you need.
Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Hi @Crxssroad
Try this:
[First keep your note as you have it]
-Extract your CHIP or SIM, and your SD Card.
-Install a CUSTOM RECOVERY [could be TWRP or ClockworkMod] (This will keep your root or better upgrade your root)
-Download and install via custom recovery the @temasek rom CM13 (Android MM.) or any other CM11, CM12 build @temasek CM13 link: [HLTE/TMO/SPR][ROM][CM13][6.0.1_r30] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build v9.3]
MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR PHONE ITS SUPPORTED BY THIS ROMS (This also will keep your phone root)
-if you want update only the kernel, there is a lot of threads about many kernel variants for diferent versions of performance
[TIP: if you upgrade your KERNEL regardless if you install a new clean ROM or you just update your kernel always make a WIPE CACHE DALVIK, then when you boot in your main system install Antutu Benchmark from google play or aptoide, and run it and click test, then if you phone reboot during the test change the kernel, and then make another wipe cache dalvik, run the test of Antutu Benchmak. Make shure that you are runing a kernel that does not make your phone reboot by itself]
(Useful kernels and mini kernel guide here: [kernel] [lp] [most-roms] [all-qcom] idleKernel, a leanKernel fork (7.1.0) by @jcadduono )
Then put your SIM on, and reboot your phone, you would be able to play Pokemon Go, I ran Pokemon Go on my GlaxyS4Mini (GT-l9195) and in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8)
Hope this help you ::good:
(I'm sorry if my grammar its bad, I did not use to write or talk in inglish )
Easy
If you have "xposed" just search for "wanam xposed" install it , and apply it , reboot.
Open wanam click security or security change (before the last one ) mark the third option , reboot
Go to settings , OTA updates , update and done .
Hope this helpful.
We don't have cm for our device. Update safestrap to latest version and chose the ROM of your choice

Moved to Q&A.
Thanks for all the replies everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I've seen them and I'll take everything into account. I just haven't been able to study them as I've been busy but I'll update as soon as I can!
I just got to thinking.
You only want KitKat.
The second post is useless in this thread it does not pertain to note 3 att.
You should do this:
Download the nc2 Odin files,
And flash a clean 4.4.2 install using odin then install towelroot for root, then busybox then safestrap. Then install app quarantine, then freeze all Knox apps and art updater.
I'll post the URL in a second

Yes, what you described is all I'm hoping to achieve so if this will work, thank you a million times. I'm just having one issue with the thread you linked. When you say "all-in-one" I assume you're referring to this:
If so, the link leads to a page that cannot be found. :/ Is there any other place I could get the files?
EDIT: Actually, after looking above, there are some mediafire links that seem to be working. Are these the same files I need? If so, do I need to download all 5 individual files? If this is the case, I have no issue. I just want to be 100% certain.
EDIT2: Assuming I can go through with this, is there anything I need to backup? I have most important things in a cloud server so all I need to do is get my pictures. I have some in internal memory and some in my sd card. Any that might be deleted?
EDIT3: This person gave me a link to the files I need! So I'm going to be downloading these and I'll go through with the update as soon as I'm able to.
EDIT: 4 Updated! EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE! Thank you thank you and many thanks unto you and all your descendants to come.
When I did it I had to factory reset to boot for some reason so I would back everything up prior to doing it.
I downloaded that all in one file last week so I'm sure on that page somewhere a working file exists

Thanks! I got everything to work just fine using the files from the other guy, but I followed your steps(which were the same as his save for installing busy box, safe strap and app quarantine).
Any other tips you can give me? I'm going to create a backup using safestrap as soon as I'm done installing all my essential apps but not sure if there's anything else I should be doing to save myself from any future possible f-ups.
Follow the guide for tethering... and maybe install xposed. Honestly thats all I did other than some debloating done via app quarantine.

I'm on 6.5 rooted, locked bootloader, Amazon version 16gb
1. what's the best way to update without loosing root??
2. I just received this from Amazon...
"Hello,
We recently learned of a potential security issue with a BLU smartphone our records indicate you purchased or registered:
BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads
BLU intends to push out a software update that will fix the issue.

They talk in the notes of a problem with a 3rd party application collecting personal information such as contacts call logs texts but doesn't say which. If we knew of which app perhaps it could be addressed?

From what I can see, it was just the app programmed to send the info, not the whole OS that was compromised.

Thanks -- does that mean if we already got rid of the ads and the amazon layer we are set, or do we need to get rid of that hidden app? If so how would we do it?

After reading the article I am thinking the 3rd party Adups app code is in there still. So I guess I go back to the original question would we have to update the phone then reroot etc? I'm hoping there is another way.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
will need to get rid of the Adups stuff. I suspect we'll have to take the latest update get the ads back. or take your chances with Adups.
The app in question is called "Wireless Update".
I had it frozen in Titanium Pro since the day I rooted it. Mine was 5.0.0. So today I deleted it.
I typically disable OTA because they soemtimes mess up the software. I have a blind faith in original OEM software, not in OTAs from carriers. I know this is a weak argument, just me.
Anyways, if your phone is rooted, try to delete this app and you are all set, until something else comes up.
For security reasons, do not buy any Chinese phones or rebranded American phones like this R1HD.
Avoid chinese apps too, check its publisher before you download it. Examples, Greenify, Kingroot, Master Clean or CLean Master,
You can buy these cheapo for kids as disposable, that's fine, just do not use it for personal , such as banking, payment, etc. You are kindly warned.
Disclaimer, I am Chinese American, i know what I am talking. I use S7 as main, this R1HD is for wechat only, the chinese social media app which collects everything from my phone and loads them to a server in China.
Thanks for the warning and suggestion to delete Wireless update. I'm wondering if the prior blocking of OTA updates that I did actually already did that. But I'll check to see if there is anything else I can delete on that....

I had wireless update frozen and it kept on "melting" Itself
I was having other issues also, not able to flash zips and many apps not working etc
So I did a twrp restore and used a debloat zip to REMOVE system update and ads

Blu says that the issue was only on firmware 5.0 to 5.3 I double checked I'm running over 6 and there's no wireless update app. I don't know if that's because I rooted and removed the OTA's and ads or whether the newer versions of the firmware just don't have it --here is a screenshot from the blu

I think people are confusing the firmware version with the Wireless Updater application version. Two different things.
Ok got it now. I just don't have the app on my blu phones (bought early August) and don't know if that is because they weren't included or because of the disabling of OTAs and ads that I did.

I have an affected R1 HD (Wireless Update version 5.0.0.0.0). Since I had previously rooted my phone, I installed Titanium B/u, uninstalled FOTA and Wireless Update apps.....Rebooted.......
Both apps are now gone....

I bought mine in early August, and it WAS included.
I debloated mine the day I got it (when it was first released by Amazon) and there's no sign of that app on my device, so I guess I'm all clear.

Have you checked it per instruction on BLU's web site?
I knew this was a rebranded Chinese phone (dual sims is a giveaway). I updated to v6.6 the day I got it so have always had the safe v5.4 Wireless Update. Just updated to v7.4.2. Now have v5.5 Wireless Update. I'm depending on the people in Miami to protect me from the Chinese. BTW, it has that Tmo band.
Hi Gents I have a rooted BLU R1 HD non prime version. there is a new OTA update : release date 2017-5-22, 306.45 MB size, can I update the firmware if my phone is rooted?

No. Do not try to install the over-the-air update on a rooted phone. It won't work. Install the modified version of the update from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/modified-8-3-stock-rom-t3602672 This is the latest available version. V21 is the non-prime update.
I have a non-rooted R1 HD that worked great, but after I installed R0010UU_V8.4_GENERIC 05-05-2017 I had a lot of issues with my wifi. Blu sent me the roll-back to to the R0010UU_V7.4.2_GENERIC 09-11-2016 and it was back up and working.
I now see that the R0010UU_V8.5_GENERIC_6 20170613-1831 is available.
Can you tell me if the wifi issue was solved?
Thanks!

My advice would be to install TWRP and root your phone so you will be able to install custom ROMs when Blu stops updating the phone. And, it will get rid of the ads for you. Then, you can flash the modified version of 8.5 here and flash it back yourself if you don't like it - no help from Blu required.
But it's up to you. It seems like lots of people here have updated to the modified 8.5 and it works fine for them.
