I need KK Backup - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey all
after unlocking bootloader and rooting , now i can't flash any roms because it will stuck on boot animation , SO any one has KK CWM or TWRP backup for GLobal Version to go back to working phone ? i will not flash any thing anymore .
really Appreciated .

I have one, although I'm not entirely sure it'll work?
What about any privacy issues regarding my information?
I'll try and do a backup, then wipe my phone and then do another backup so you get a clean version, okay?
Edit: I don't exactly know how to share the backup. Can I just connect phone to laptop and upload here as is?

I think you are better off just restoring it to factory fresh yourself. It doesn't take long at all just find the correct stock ROM and use fastboot. Here is a guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 it seems complicated, I skipped most of the explanation and just used Fastboot using the commands in 3b).
Here follows a simpler version.

I myself went back to stock, but left it rooted so that I can make backups. I need a ROM which supports the Motorola magnetic flip cover, couldn't find one, so gave up for now. As to your getting stuck on boot animation, I had the same trouble until I used TWRP ver 2631

Here is a cwm 4.4.2 gb backup : https://www.dropbox.com/s/zkynj8eacnlmucb/1970-01-02.18.49.56.zip
It should be a clean backup without any information from previous phone. That's not mine. All credits to Nent.

"starting services" does not stop...on boot up

Hi all , just joined xda-developers but i spend straight 14 hours trying to fix this DAMM photon q yesterday
all i got in the end is a normal boot after following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001108
BUT at the startup , the screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever
any help would be appreciate .
Can you explain what your setup is, and exactly what you've done to get where you are?
For example, you were bootloader official unlocked, on CWM and asa-10, etc.
Thanks.

Still doesn't tell me what you've done, what state the phone is actually in, etc.
I thought my question was pretty straightforward. Unless you provide more detail, I don't know how anyone will be able to help you.
Is this a stolen device? Why is it not qualified for the official unlock? Either way, how does that play into what's wrong with the device?
Did you have custom recovery on it? Give some details!!!

i think i am a noob at explaining things but let me try again...i don't know the exact history of this phone , my friend gave it to me yesterday and its not stolen ... he paid his insurance every month but then who know what he did... i have no idea why its not qaulified for the official unlock probably because he bought a new phone on the same line so the company deactivated this phone..
ok so when i got the phone yesterday , the bootlocker logo appeared and i was unable to do anything ...then i installed CWMrecovery and it was successfull and then i installed every possible rom available online as far as i know but same thing happened with all of them ..... successfully installed , it reboots and little square thing saying " starting services..." and then it does not go away at all ... but at the same time i am able to bring the top menu ..and go to the settings and everything from there but i can't go to home screen since ...it is black and is occupied by "starting services.."
so finally i came accross this thread for master reboot and i followed it ....i installed TWRrecovery and made backup and then restored a backup providers by that guy ... i flashed new stock recovery after that... so following his thread , he told that if all went successful ... it will return to original stock
and now i am at the same screen as previous... " starting serivces..." my friend told me he tired to root it and he messed up really bad ..so i believe there is still some old files in the internal storage from previous rom versions.... but i deleted everything......wiped, data facotry reset and then
installed a clean backup provided by the thread starter...... and everyone else had success except me ...
i hope i answered your questions if not .. i would aprreciate if you tell me what exactly you want to know ..... thanks
i also tired every US ROMS from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/asanti_c/list.php
and all of them showed " starting services.." after i installed them from sdcard using CWMrecovery.

You have to extract the files and edit the xml file. And you use rsdlite on your pc phone connected thru usb to write it to the phone

Reactivate in Sprint? What do you mean? Only Sprint can tell you whether the phone can be activated or not. Call them. Not sure why you would even worry about that if it's not stolen.....

Help: Wipe+Root

Hi all.
How can I wipe my Nexus 5 so it is a plain Kit Kat 4.4.2 (like the day I received it) and just root it? it's currently in 4.4.2 and rooted, but with a lot of stuf in it too. My main concern is how to wipe once it's rooted, and how to reroot.
For those who like to read, a little more info:
I have a Nexus 5 which received 2 days ago. I come from an iPhone 5S, so... pretty newbie...
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device after unboxing, and have been using it since. Problems are:
1. I just found out about CWM and its capabilities, and I intend to use the backups a lot.
2. I kind of ****ed up with a couple of apps I regret installing.
3. After a backup I just did today, it asked to whether or not fix the recovery (or something like that). Selected YES, nothing happened. It then asked to fix the root... said YES and screwed it completely. I had to put SuperSu in the phone as a ZIP and manually install it again to recover my root access. It kind of looks "dirty" now, lol.
Anyways, I'd like to make a whole device backup from CWM with Kit Kat out of the box, no extra apps installed. Just rooted. Then install all my stuff, sync contacts and so on, and make another backup.
That's why I want to erase the device and have it all clean (just rooted).
Thanks!

Because the 2nd method furnishes you with knowledge and experience to help you understand and learn things that cf auto root "automates" for you. Using our recommended method, you will have a head start in knowing how to do things you may need to do to recover your device from various scenarios.

Oh please, I know. I was just hiding my ignorance under the iOS carpet.
Will give a read to both links tomorrow. Will definitely do link1 on friday if I find the time, and will then consider either doing link2 or going the CF-Auto-Root way.
I'll let you know how this all ends.
Again, thanks!
Update:
Followed steps in link1. Everything went fine.
Gave a deep read to link2. Found it understandable and easy to do and follow, but decided to go the CF-Auto-Root way just because I had done it before and worked nicely...
Everything OK. Something weird happened -again- though. After the clean restore and root, I installed CWM and proceeded to make a backup of the plain system. After it, it asked to fix root again. I had previously said YES, which lead to a broken root, so I said NO this time. Same thing happened!! I lost root and had to manually install SuperSu 1.93 from ZIP in CWM... Why does this happen?
Anyways, I have another question. If one day I decide to restore from this backup I just made, will it be exactly as doing a complete restore following link1?
Thanks!

Flash this in cwm http://d-h.st/YpG. It'll put twrp on
Oh damn it... Really? OK, a couple of quick questions:
1. Did reinstalling SuperSu leave junk in the file system?
2. Will flashing TWRP leave anything either?
My OCD would probably make me restore again if the answer to any of those questions is yes.

Lost IMEI no data no WiFi, files only show in recovery, no efs Backup pls help

Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

How to update rooted android phone?

Hi all,
want to know how to updated rooted android phone as OTA doesn't work for root. Have been told KIES will brick the phone.
tnx
If you want the official update, just flash the new system image, and then re-root.
But do I have to unroot first and is there any risk of brick?
Not a huge risk of getting bricked, this is a pretty simple process. But just in case, you should back up all of your stuff. You do not have to un-root before re-flashing, just delete and clear everything from fastboot. If you are on a Nexus, this article should help you: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-install-android-factory-image/ Good luck.
Its Cannot Update After Root....
Cause Server will Detect Your Device Did a Unathourized Modify...
So Re Flash Stock and Update or You Can Download Latest Firmware And Flash It...

PS by just "delete and clear everything from fastboot" do you mean data and cache wipe from download mode?
Just take a backup of your present system
If you are new to rooting most probably you will make some mistakes so having a back up always helps and always knowing where the backup is stored
Just be careful and flash the new image after backing up

Just be careful and flash the new image after backing up

Tnx. What's the best way to back up the whole system?

Titanium backup is the way to go.

Thanks.
PS what options should I tick in ODIN when flashing 6.0.1 or 5.1.1 over 5.0.1? As I am getting different answers and it's a bit confusing.
I have no idea...

So, I falshed the 6.0.1 on my note 4, but now there is a new built from 25th May. As I already rooted the phone, I would like to know whether I should unroot first, or I can just straight flash that new built with ODIN. If I do flash straight away, will I loose root or any data?
WOW. so many replies.

XT1250 wiped with TWRP... now can't install O.S.

So basically, after I rooted, I was stuck in a bootloop at the "warning: bootloader unlocked" screen when I tried to boot, so I tried "factory reset" with the same result. Then I DL'd the stock xt1250 firmware and the update back to 5.0.2 (which the phone had before I F'd it up), but TWRP won't install either of them.
I can access the bootloader, and TWRP recovery, but any other option from the bootloader, or restarting results back in the "warning: bootleader unlocked" screen loop
I've seen a few places on here that there is a Brazilian version of 6.0.1 that it TWRP-able, but living in the U.S.of.A. and not being able to speak Portuguese, I was wondering if that would work for me?
thanks,
N.K.
Actually, I just tried copying the Brazilian 6.0.1 onto the phone and I got an error that "the file is larger than the device limit", so I guess that option's out!
I feel horrible right now! I just got this awesome phone, and broke it within 2 days
I really hope someone can help!
Status Update:
-I downloaded a bunch of zips... American xt1250 4.4.4 and conversion to 5.0.2 (which the phone is), Brazilian xt1225 5.0.2 and 6.0.1
-I tried RSD because twrp was obviously doing nothing.
-I ended up getting one to work, which was the Brazilian 5.0.2 with some files from another one (I forgot which, but I think the American 5.0.2 conversion) because is was lacking some key components (which it seems they all were).
-none of the others worked at all
-I have yet to test my sim card in it, but...
Problem:
-I got my phone up and running, but now the wifi wont turn on. It says "turning on wifi..." but nothing ever happens. I looked it up and found lots of stuff about wifi and bluetooth not turning on, but my bluetooth seems to turn on as it should.
Aright... I installed Bliss Rom, and it all works! The camera sucks compared to the stock camera, but I can live with that. Thanks for the help everyone! :good: :good: :good:

The TWRP-flashable 6.0.1 ROM was made by a Verizon user who lives in the U.S. It works for ALL Quarks. It doesn't matter what language you speak, you choose the language you want at the bootup screen. Just like every other version of Android.

Tons of people are using that TWRP-flashable ROM. You have 64GB storage space unless you've used it all up. So, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to transfer that file and flash it.

Glad you got it running! However, in the future don't just download and flash anything. Brazilian 5.0.2 won't work because it's not made for your phone (U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250), and the radio/modem won't work. The Brazilian TWRP flashable 6.0.1 file works in part because @iiWoodstocK used custom @bhb27 kernel to make it compatible. It's stock Motorola Marshmallow ROM otherwise. So, that one was OK, but just flashing XT1225 firmware for your XT1250 is not wise.
Also, you can't downgrade bootloaders, so be careful when flashing different versions of software. You can downgrade from MM to Lollipop or even Kitkat, but you have to leave out gpt.bin.
It seemed you were just flashing a lot of stuff, so be careful.

You can change the camera. There's stock Moto Camera files in this forum you can flash. This is from the Bliss ROM thread:

^^ agreed. great ROM. as far as camera quality, that is just the stock CM camera. idk why. i never use it for that reason. there are a few "moto canera and gallery" flash able zip files on androidfilehost.com and mega. or you can try to install them from Play store. the moto ones are better in that aspect. the htc 10 camera works okay as do several others. find a replacement that works for you.

Try reflashing the modem/radio in ADB. Not restoring in TWRP, but actually flashing the XT1254 radio again.

There's fastboot and TWRP flashable in that first post. Read carefully.

In TWRP it's just a zipped file for the radio.
