[Q] Help choosing stock firmware Jelly Beab - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So hey guys I am having a problem. I tried flashing Pink and Render kernel. Both times, instead of the bootanimation, the screen is a little pink, and then it goes to black. A user told me that I needed to flash the 4.3 stock firmware because there was some compatibility issue with the 4.4 bootloader. The problem is, I don't know which firmware to download I have the global gsm version (xt1032) with an AT&T US sim card. So how do I choose the stock firmware? Please I want to use a kernel

i assume that you are on stock 4.4 before flashing kernel.
Pink and Render kernel does not work on stock roms that is why you are getting pink screens. both are meant only for cm based roms
if you want custom kernel then i recommend you to flash faux kernel or Aerokernel.(Only for stock roms)
you need not flash 4.3 firmware.

But in the Render kernel thread, it says it's for cm and AOSP ROMs. Is Ehndroix aosp or cm based? I still get the pink screen. Thanks for answering

I agree no need to Go to 4.3
You should stick to 4.4.2
Ehndroix is CM11 Based, So Kernel should have worked.
I don't know why they are not working
You can try another ROMs which are based on AOSP for the kernel
C-Rom or LEGO Rom
You could also try other kernels like Furnace or Faux123's Kernel
Still If you think You should go back to 4.3 The firmware is here(AWS version) and here(non-AWS firmware)
I still highly suggest against 4.3 Stick to 4.4.2

Sorry for this noob question but what does AWS mean?
Edit: just found out mine is global so it doesn't have aws

Cool,
Just for further Knowledge!
AWS is Advanced Wireless System. That runs on 1700MHz frequency. Mostly T-mobile in USA uses AWS to provide HSPA+ network.
Yours is AT&T so your phone will work OK with non-AWS retail!

[Q] Razr Maxx HD - Need to go back to stock or a stock-based ROM

My dad has a Droid Razr Maxx HD and I currently have the bootloader unlocked and a custom Recovery and Rom on there.
He keeps having problems with whatever ROM I put on (forgot by now) and I'd like to put him back to stock or a ROM that based on stock system.
What version of Android is stock on now? I read that they will be rolling out a 4.4 upgrade sometime soon.
Any advice on which ROM to use or how to restore to stock?
Thanks

You should use RSD Lite and go back to this version: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=5&file=75

Ah, that's a useful site. Thanks.
If you had to choose a 4.4.2 ROM, which would you choose?
Also, what version of RSDLite?

I am partial to CyanogenMod myself. I think CM 11 is at a point now you could use it daily. They have an "M" build out there for it currently which they consider as stable as can be at the time and they allow bug reports on it.
One thing to take into consideration about these roms is they are all using the drivers from the 4.1.2 build thats official for the phone. All of them are waiting on the 4.4.2 update being released to have current Android 4.4 drivers tested to work for the device.
In a nutshell expect some sort of buggyness on roms but especially with custom roms on devices that are using old 4.1 based drivers.
Thanks again. I'll stick with Stock for my dad. I told him to get the HTC One M8 since he can't get the Nexus 5 for Verizon.
He'll be happy soon enough!

D6616 (T-Mobile USA) Rom with locked bootloader

Hello, i see a lot of developing for other roms out there, and we just received root the week before last, I managed to install a dual custom recovery (cwm, twrp) and it works fine, but there isn't a ROM to change to or flash.
when i see other models have locked bootloaders and use custom roms, is there any way we could make an aosp rom without cyanogenmod, (i prefer aosp roms without the tweaks and bugs), a stock rom would be fine as well, cheers

The same happened for the Tmobile USA Sony xperia z1s. We had root but a locked bootloader. There were a few devs who were trying to build a rom from scratch but became difficult of a task due to locked BL and no access to the kernel so it was abandoned. Im sure the same will happen to this. Only roms i expect to see are custom stock roms based on the stock rom.

So a couple of months ago you had root on the T-Mobile z3 and used a custom recovery to flash a different firmware? Or did you use flashtool?
When I get my z3 back I am going to simply try it, but because it worked out with my TL doesn't mean it will work with my Z3

At the time root was not working on the d6616 so that was not possible. It might be now but I have not tried.

I am afraid to try to flash, if you can, please try it we will be glad this work.
I tried last week and I bricked my phone. Took me a few hrs to recover it but it's fine now. Restored back to stock.
Any new ideas???
Now that 5.1.1 is out are there new hopes?

You can update your modem, but you can't use a KitKat modem as they're incompatible with Lollipop. Nobody can recommend one as modem performance varies depending on unique factors like your location. You'll find some here:

Unfortunately you are wrong.I have been using Kitkat modem on Lollipop roms since first Lollipop rom released.Also Sultanxda has a Lollipop rom with 44s modem which is Sep10.But you need to flash sensor fix with Kitkat modem on Lollipop rom,also auto rotation might not be working.Yet if you flash Sultanxda rom mentioned you dont have any of these problems.Pls be advised.

I'm aware of that. But it isn't advisable because it can cause other problems.

First of all thanks both for your help, after a long weekend outside home I read today your answers and I have a question, following the link that you provided to me, what modem package should I download to start trying modems if I´m using a 5.1.1 ROM? Maybe this link is for me Full-CM12-16.02.15-modem-flashable.zip ?
Also for flash a new modem I just need to flash it through recovery right?
Thanks in advance.

That one is fine, and so are the top two (they're more recent too).
Hi there
I'm having problems with radio (poor data reception and wifi problems). I thought on upgrade radio firmware (currently DI.3.0.c6-00230-M8974AAAAANAZM-1 with latest update YOG4PAS1N0) but i wonder if the radio firmware is downgradeable or it's locked (like iphone does).
Thanks!

So I can try to flash the modem that I link in my previous post and also with Full-YNG1TAS0YL-modem-flashable.zip or Full-OxygenOs-1.0.0-modem-flashable.zip even if it´s the OxygenOs modem right?
Thanks again for all your help, you always answer me!!!! xD

Help unrooting and flashing a new rom

Hello, it's been some time since I've last rooted and flashed kernels on my devices. My device is having problems with certain apps and I feel it's time to update my root or change my rom or flash a stock rom etc. Here is what I am using now:
Build: MOAR v6.1 OA6
Software: G900PVPU1BOA6
Hardware: G900P.04
Android: 5.0
Kernel: 3.4.0-3859396
Would you recommend I unroot then flash a stock kernel? What is a new root I can use with this phone? Thanks
I would recommend Odin a fresh stock MM rom. Then boot to the desktop, by pass set up. Go to dialer ##72786# it will do a reactivate and update prl and profile.. Then Odin TWRP, and flash a new rom or your choice.. If you like MOAR then Odin a LP stock rom, and do as mentioned and flash MOAR 7.0 it works best. Right now, I'm running crdroid 3.8.5 baset off of Nouget with 7.1 gapps and it works very well You need the latest MM firmware to run it, and at least TWRP 3.2.1-0-ktle.img If you do flash crdroid download ktledv
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-crdroid-t2860894
First off, thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the help. What's the battery life like on MM compared to Lollipop?
I would prefer to use something like a stock rom but just extremely debloated. I also want to be able to play pokemom go without problems and super su keeps giving me problems when trying to play. Do you know of any setups that would allow for pokemon go and are fast, battery effecient, and debloated?

How's the mm baseband? I know the obvious response is updated is better but I experienced better LTE on the firmware I currently have, no idea honestly other than it's lolipop, maybe ok4? I want to upgrade phones but having trouble finding one with sprint newer that can be customized how I like so I'm also looking at playing with this one prior to and after getting maybe a pixel unlocked

I would stick with Lollipop OK4 and flash MOAR 7.0. I to find better LTE and all around connectivity on Lollipop than MM.. I once again, went back to MOAR 7.0 from crdroid.. Crdroid is a great rom, but battery life, sucks, as well as connectivity on calls and data. When in aroma and you get to the point about the kernel, choose don't touch kernel, and finish from there. I never like MM and those are the reasons why.. Crdroid I flashed was 7.0 but naturally on the MM base band, but it was still the same.
Thanks sir nobody could really answer that for me. I found the ok4 of all lollipop got the best LTE where I live, plus I'm on sprint so I'm a bit restricted on ROMs, unified dev leave some bugs with sprints network but not too badly!!

You probably already know, but I will ask anyways. Are you using the KLTEDV version of the unified ROM? KLTE roms does not work very well with sprint.

Thanks! I'll make sure to read which I should use. My daily is still on MM while my old one that's kinda beat up is now on N as it us now the practice phone. Playing with it before Oreo, may stay for a while. And I installed kltespr on both devices as there were still options available for specifically this device with the spr tag. My CM 13 network is fine, no worse than just regular sprint...
Haven't tried the move to either N or O on my daily, worried about the signal discussion. I'll use an old kltespr to test before the newer maintained kltedv if its there probably to see how it goes.

Unfortunately my sprint s5 is one of the phone with that signal issue. I was in the process of changing carrier so to try and fix that issue wasn't worth it for me. My new S5 did not have that issue, when i went to verizon, its a really weird bug.

I think it took a bit to stat with the sprint APN, changed some settings, messed with some stuff, and it seems fine now, I'll have to remember to check back at that before upgrading. I'm on the ok4 baseband
