New Cricket / AIO / AT&T Overlords Moto G Android 4.4.3 Still Waiting.... - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

New Cricket / AIO / AT&T Overlords Moto G Android 4.4.3 Still Waiting....
I have no faith that att will allow the update as the newer moto 4g lte will be out soon...
so i guess that no one on att's aio / new cricket cares about the 4.4.3 update?
I have no faith that it will be released in this country on any carrier other then the unlocked versions that are carrier anogistic aka the international versions. Well i guess lenovo will not let moto do the update for non google play editions... and att can care less. they would love for us to just buy new phones at full price to get the latest os... also would be great to have sd card slot... phone is limited with out for playing games... i want a 128gb microcdxc

I second this completely, looking forward to 4.4.3 on AIO/Cricket Motorola G.
Anyone heard any news or information about this?

They'll probably update it, because it fixes a root exploit that gives you freedom to do some fun stuff.
Remember, they have to modify it so you don't have wifi tether. I got sick of that and got an unlocked one. Never again.

Yeah but it isn't as easy. Security wise why should it matter since I use wpa2 aes?

Even that can be hacked.

Afaik the AIO/Cricket Moto G can't be rooted.
So where does the information on a root exploit come from sprockkets?

It works.
It is a tethered root and it doesn't give write access to /system but it does give other apps root. I'm going to use it to transfer stuff in /data to my other moto g.

Soft root huh? So basically the root goes away when you reboot yes? Do any of you know of a video tutorial showing this work?
I am so frustrated with this whole process with rooting AIO Wireless Moto G. All I want is to use Tasker and Xposed Framework, is that so much to ask for?

Did you know the simcard from the moto g aio wireless will work on any AT&T phone with no unlock code needed? I contacted AT&T about an unlock code for my motorola atrix 2..I was amazed when they told me that if I use aio which is on AT&T towers that i wont need an unlock code.i put the sim in my old AT&T phone and it fired right up..i had to add a simple apn for data but I'm enjoying my 4g right now

I also am thinking about getting an unlocked one and selling the AIO/Cricket one. I didnt do my research first, so I found out the afterward that the damn bootloader cannot be unlocked on the at&t moto g. What a crock.

[Q] Problem with software update error message.

Hello, I just got my htc one x at&t so I unlock it and try use my carrier. I fix setting for having internet with my carrier and everything is pretty smooth. The problem is that when I try update software I get:
”error
SERVICE UNAVAILABLE
check for software update under settings
when service is available”
trying to update I go menu->settings->at&t software update->check for updates
The thing is I don’t get anything like you have latest software or something like that.
Searching for answer I saw that many people said that changing sim worked for them…the thing is that I don’t have any other micro-sim (yesterday I change my mini-sim to mini micro-sim and I don’t have any other). So I came up with another idea.. trying to update without any sim in phone…but still I get some message so any idea???
ps: I can not use at&t sim I don’t live in usa just bought it from there.
Ok wow ..I'm going to provide this link for you and hopefully you can use it. No offense but it doesn't sound like you know what you are doing....please becareful with your phone so as not to perma brick it

Thanks for the advice..the thing is that phone is out of box just a day..so everything is stock i have not rooted or change room yet.As far as i know it is only when you have rooted your phone or change room that you must not acceps ota,now that my phone is completely stock there is no problem,am i right??
The link you gave me is the first thing i read before i even reacieve the phone!
The phone bought throught a person wich had it as a upgrade from his carrier so he check it works and sell it,so how i can check for 100% its not root?(Just for the 1% something is wrong).
If you are not in the US, that is probably the reason you cannot download the OTA. You typically need to be in the proper country to get OTAs.

If you are not on the current AT&T 2.20 firmware (if you are still on 1.73 or 1.85), and have any desire to root and flash custom ROMs, I would suggest not updating by OTA. Instead, root and unlock the bootloader now. 2.20 firmware updates the hboot, which plugs the hole by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery.
If you still want the official 2.20 firmware, just go to HTC's website and download the RUU for the AT&T version of the One X (download to your PC, and run it with the phone connected by USB). OTAs don't typically work if you are not in the intended country (USA). RUU will wipe the phone, but in my opinion, this is a cleaner/better install anyway and will cause less issues, which often happen with OTAs.

That's what i was saying about micro mini sim.(pic)
So i end up that i will work my mobile one month to see it runs smooth, i mean no need to use my warranty and then (after my exams) when i have time i will spend one day to read the [index] which you upload..and then i will flash the latest stock rom rooted!
One more question, flashing many roms (i did that one on my previous htc desire bravo) means installing the apps you usually use many times is there a trick to put your apps instant to the new room i mean without instaling them one at a time throught play store??
Thanks a lot!

Interesting, I just looked it up on Wikipedia. I didn't actually didn't know a full sized SIM was about the same size as a credit card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module#Formats
Of course, these haven't been used in a long time, so most people just call a mini-SIM a "SIM".
For practical purposes, GSM phones use either SIM (mini) or Micro-SIMs. With the exception of the latest generation of Apple products, which use nanoSIMs.
If you have a nano-SIM, you can buy an adapter to insert it into your One X.

Titanium Backup, which can be found on the Play Store. It will restore your apps and app data. Highly recommend the paid version, as you can batch restore all your apps after a ROM flash.

Rooted - fairly simple

I rooted using twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar via Odin 3.07, and installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip from the SD .
Now, when will there be ROMs?
Did you root the non-dev or dev version?
---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------
Correct me if I'm wrong, but trltetmo is for T-Mobile, isn't it?
FYI - this method does not work on retail phones . . . at least for me.
We probably won't see root until our boot loader is unlocked by Verizon.
Mine is dev and was a quick easy root exactly as stated.

A dev please adapt this for the Edge when it is updated for the Note 4. This is for the Retail version.

I used this same method and can confirm it works flawlessly.
Works great. Having troubles with making and receiving casks atm but I think this is something else since it was working fine before that.
That's odd. I haven't had any issues yet. Using Xposed for a few tweaks and to activate the hotspot. Would be great to have a couple of roms to test.

It's on global but it's been that way this whole time. I tried switching to LTE/CDMA also and it didn't fix anything. I tried a "factory reset" but as you can imagine nothing happened. It rebooted to twrp and deleted all my apps/accounts. But nothing got reinstalled lol. Also on sammobile the link for the Verizon stock is broken all I get is a 404 when I click it... now I've done it lol.

Thank you! It was what I dreaded, but I'll keep hope alive! lol UGH.
Verizon has spent a ton of money locking down their bootloaders, there has been a bounty for the galaxy s4 bootloader for quite some time now (think we are in the third year or more) even if root comes to the retail version (hard to see that since the only root methods currently involve flashing something with odin) it is even less likely any of them will see custom roms. that is unless someone picks up the safestrap project as i last heard it was dropped. Dev editions are going to be the new norm for anyone on verizon, gonna be the only way to get custom anythings.
that said has anyone been able to extract their stock recovery or make a backup of the stock image from their dev edition? at this point i'd be like forever your BFF if you could get me back to stock since KIES wont work and samsung support doesnt even know the Developer Edition is on sale yet...... let along can they get me a stock recovery image lol....
also i just inboxed you @ffr3245 i am not sure if ti will work, but at this point i'd try just about anything.
I can not get these to upload!!! Anyways, I found docugod's post where he had uploaded his recovery image which is stock without root from Note Edge Developer Ed. Thanks go to him. With that being said, you should not have any problems using that recovery image. But as always do so at your own risk. And for anyone else reading.......This is for the Note Edge DEVELOPER EDITION, it is NOT for the retail Verizon one.

With the newest software, root is somewhat useless. Xposed may not work correctly, no OTA, plus note 5 has the electronic root thing, so when you tooth the phone, it is tripped and can never be returned to original state, thus, service providers will know it is rooted and may deny repair, replacement.

You do realize sprint doesn't even remotely care right? They just ask that you have "stock" when you have a problem and need the device serviced. However if you are stock rooted this has no bearing whatsoever.

Rooting and unlocking UK Galaxy S6 on EE

Hey guys, I recently purchased a second hand Galaxy S6 (not an Edge variant) and I'm curious as to how exactly, I go about rooting it in order to unlock it. I remember rooting my S3 was relatively straight forward, but this seems a little more complex partly due to just how many options there are for all the different models.
I'm on Android 5.1.1, and my build number is currently: LMY47X.G920FXXU3QOJF
If anybody could point me towards a relevant guide or provide a little more information, that'd be awesome. Cheers!

Neat, thanks for the response!
Would this Kernel suffice? http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/kernel-hacker-kernel-s6-universal-t3254487
Also, as a result, would this make my phone automatically unlocked from all network carriers?
You can use that kernel. I use SpaceX kernel. They are both with autoroot.
I dont know if it unlock all network carriers. I think phone can already support different ROM's from different carriers.
I flashed for example French ROM. And now im on the official dutch again

I managed to get it working. For those who are curious, this is a great video that illustrates exactly what to download and from where, depending on your region.
Now that I'm rooted, however, does anybody have any idea how to unlock my device?
Try a Nexus 6P

Great answer!
Seriously though, considering I just bought this, and Nexus 6Ps are about 200 more here, that's not really an option.

I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on Nexus Junk. And make no mistake, they are all junk.

Have you tried calling EE? I think they'll do it for a small fee.

I'd rather this not turn into a 'what device is better' thread, please.
And I'm gonna go into their store today and see what they can do for me. Apparently, it's only £8.99 for an unlock, I just wondered if there existed any free method.

I don't understand. Are you asking a question, looking for confirmation, or simply making a statement? What type of input are you seeking?

i assume this is utilizing the US996 Deodexed ROM? If so, it essentially is converting the phone to the North America unlocked variant which would be SIM Unlocked.
Unexpected side effect. But i guess thats great!
If this is confirmed that is a very great unexpected side effect haha.
Beastmode on my LG V20

// You are absolutely wrong! I have dirty santa installed on my LS997 and its only unlock bootloader and root the phone, but not sim unlock!
Yes it sim unlock cause my ls997 was sim unlock but the phone continously dropping service so i revert to the stock rom

Yes it is. IF you had installed the old rom. I recently updated dirtysanta with a Stock rom. Since you posted this morning/lastnight I assume you just did the exploit. Which means you would have downloaded my new rom. If you want sim unlock install the us996 rom.
The Size 6 on your post is completely inappropriate and rude if you ask me so I removed it from the quote. I hope you don't get mad because its not your exact quote.
The us 996 rom can we use this rom to unlock sprint ls997?

OK, I have a ls997 running a 997 ROM. Just flashed a CM build for Sprint & it failed because it recognized my phone as a US996. Thinking it was a derp in build.prop on the ROM I'm running, I check everything but it's all correct.
Then I go to settings/about phone/hardware info......
Under "GOTA serial number" it shows as US996.
Can anyone else on Sprint confirm?

The devices because of the bootloader seem to be considered us996 devices instead of elsa. The easy fix is to edit the updater script to allow the install to us996 devices.
