Did you enable root permissions first?
Download es file Explorer, enable root for it from within its menu, open up the correct sequence of folders and it should be there. It won't show up if you skip that step.
I wouldn't do it from the terminal.

Is there a screen capture feature built into this phone? I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.4. I thought the button combo was power+home, but that just either brings up the power menu or tiled home screen. No screen shot.
I don't know but I'm currently using version 4.1.7
I can capture by pressing power button along with home (don't press power button too long)
try this on your room, it might work.

Negative,
as mentioned, Power + Home does nothing but tile the homescreen, bring up the power menu or put the phone into sleep mode. I've experimented with timing of the power+home key presses which explains the different results.
If it does take a screen shot they show up in the gallery right? Cause that's where I'm looking and no screen shots are in there.

I found the screencapture entry but when I try and edit and save (using ES Editor) I get an error: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"
Before editing it directly on the phone I tried copying it to my SD in order to edit on my PC. When trying to move it back to the phone it said: File cannot be moved.
EDIT:
I just noticed the file does not have write permissions enabled. So do I have to copy to PC, then change permissions, edit/save, change permissions back and copy to phone again?

Hi,
Use ES File Explorer.
Go to settings and make sure "root explorer" and "mount file system" are ticked.
Then edit the file,save and reboot.

Both options are greyed out.
I tried to check the "root explorer" box and got a warning confirmation, something about being an "Experimental Feature", hit the Yes button then it asked for Superuser access, which I said yes too.
Then it flashed something like "Test Failed".Now both options are still greyed out and nothing happens if I tap to uncheck them.

Download File Expert, go to menu and settings and enable root explorer - Check mark the /system directory and hit menu then say mount RW.
I found this one works much easier for editing files than ES Exp.
I don't know about custom rom's but in the stock, yes. However, I have absolutely no idea what the screen cap button is. All I know is that I've accidentally taken a few and they're in my gallery lol

Man, I'm sorry but this is just NOT working.
I installed File Expert, changed the settings to enable Root Explorer, checked the /sys directory and enabled RW.
When I try to edit the file it wont save the changes.
I've tried editing the file using ES Note Editor, File Editor and File Expert (although the latter does not seem to have an editing function; no keyboard pops up when I tap the text).
When using ES Note Editor I change the screencapture command from FALSE to TRUE then menu>save. But when I open it again to view the changes the command is still FALSE.
When using File Editor to change the command I get an error when trying to save: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"
I also noticed when I click out of the editor and back into the file directory the checkmark in /System folder is unchecked (like the Read/Write permissions revert back).
I appriciate the help. I had no idea it would be this complicated

Ok. Try way B.
Skip trying to enable the internal one and go to the market and download drocap2. It is free and works great.
Just use an app called "shoot me".
The perfect screen shot app that works on all roms.
Just instal, go to where you want to make the picture off, shake your phone and voila its in your gallary with his own folder.
Just google for it. its not in the market anymore
Hi, I've just made an Online Nandroid backup of my stock rom. It's stored in the clockworkmod folder located on the internal storage, but whenever i try to copy it from that folder to my PC, it just pastes a folder named "35", which contains no files. I have no idea why it's doing this!

I'm having the same problem as the OP. I made a nandroid backup using clockworkmod and I can't figure out how to get it off the Moto G and onto my computer. The above adb command just brings over two files: .recovery_version and .last_install_path.
The nandroid backup does not seem to be placed on the emulated sdcard. I can find it by using the Rom Toolbox root browser. It is in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
But that directory is not visible when I connect the phone via usb. I try:
E:\install\Moto G Tools\MotoG-Tools>adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
and get:
remote object '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup' does not exist
Any ideas on how I can get the backup onto my PC?
Hello guys, proper path should be as below:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup /designated/folder/for/backup/backup.date
JP
just use a file explorer like es and move your backup to somewhere that is visible from your comp and then just copy it over .

I tried that. With an 8GB Moto G I'm lucky to have enough space for one copy of the nandroid backup. When I tried to move the directory, it runs out of memory - I guess it is actually copying and deleting. I could try moving each file individually, but that is tedious and error prone and I could still run into the space problem.

Would u please give proper instruction on how to do it, my nandroid backup seems hidden when I open it on pc
First time when I have a problem like this, I see the backup on phone but when I conect the phone to PC I can't find it. So, I use Total Commander and move the backup file in phone in other folder, like "download". After that I seen it to PC. Now, I use TWRP 2.8.7 and I make the backup to an OTG connected USB stick. It's simple after that to move the backup where I want.

Already try that app & didn't work.
I'm trying to use same method as this (using adb) but I can't seem find proper instruction or sample on how to do it - at least easy way
Can u help me give instruction (with capture if u may) or at least pointing me to thread that discuss this.

First, you may have motorola drivers installed on your PC. You can find them from here.
Another thing you need is Fastboot. Unzip fastboot on your desktop on a folder.
Charge your device above 60% battery level to avoid shutdowns during the process.
Enable USB Debugging on your phone from Settings> Developer options. If you do not find Developer option under device settings, enter to settings/about phone and touch "Build number" 7 times to enable them.
Conect your phone via USB to PC.
Open folder where you have fastboot, right click it and open a comand prompt from there
In the comand prompt enter:
adb devices
now you will see if all is ok and your device has been recognized. You should see something like:
List of devices attached
random numbers and letters device
If not, probably don't have the drivers installed properly OR you failed to authorize your computer for USB debugging.
Now you can enter adb commands in terminal and pull your backup from your phone. Commands will be something like:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup /designated folder for backup/backup.date

Hello Forgone, I try ur suggestion.
But seems doesn't work, have I did wrong
My phone detected but when I try adb pull, it shows this messages
You not give the right command to pull out. After "...clockworkmod/backup/" you must enter the backup name not the path where to download. It will download to adb folder. The name of backup file could be, how it suggest @pacmanman something like "backup.date" (where date is the date you make it). Sry, but you must find the name of that backup file or at least guess it.

Gorgone, if its not to much, can u give screenshot on how u do it?
I'm confused
Look at your picture. As you see in green what you do till here was good. Your device is recognize. Now, what I underlined with yellow was not OK. There you must put your Backup file NAME. The name is usual something like "backup.date" where date means the date you made the backup. It's nothing to do if you don't know that name, so at least try to guess it.
I use TWRP so my path will be a little different. TWRP is better for make and restore backups, you can even make a backup on an USB stick on OTG, so you don't ocupie the internal memory space, also you can easy move it where do you want.
Not sure if I am posting in the right place, but I have an issue, after creating a backup of my stock lollipop on TWRP and factory reset to install Cataclysm, I can no longer see any of my files on ES file explorer, it says everything is empty (I have enabled root explorer). Also when I try to download any files it just automatically says unsuccessful like it cant save any of the files to my phone. My files are there I can see them when I am in recovery mode in TWRP's file explorer.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Do you mean you uninstalled one of the Bluetooth apps in System > Advanced Settings > Apps > All?
If so, please use some sort of root explorer app (you have to be rooted first) to navigate to either /system/app/Bluetooth or /system/priv-app/Amigo_Bluetooth and install whichever .apk that appears to be not installed. I believe this should fix your issue.

Interesting.
I've uploaded my /system/app/Bluetooth folder here. Could you please download that, extract the folder inside to somewhere, and either:
Push the folder via adb using the command adb push Bluetooth /system/app/ while your command prompt/terminal is in the same directory where you extracted the "Bluetooth" folder (cd DRIVE:\your\directory\path\Bluetooth (Windows) or ~/your/directory/path/Bluetooth (Linux) ).
or
Transfer the extracted "Bluetooth" folder to either your microSD or a USB Drive, plug it into your phone and move the folder to /system/apps using your root file explorer app.
Finally, install the Bluetooth.apk inside (which I'm assuming is the one you uninstalled since it is missing).
Let me know how it goes, thanks!

Can you check again? Make sure you go to your system folder from your phone's root directory. It should contain almost all of the default apps installed on your phone when it came out of the box (with the rest of it being in priv-apps).
I have the exact same problem as the OP - I tried downloading the said file but my phone says the file is corrupt - can someone please send an updated version?
Same problem, file corrupt.
Bluetooth got erased because the system detected that the app was sending sms by itself (or so it said) and thus deleted it. I have the same problem as the one above, the file seems to be corrupt and can't install the .apk
Please, if there is another way to solve this say so.
Same problem...
I have the same problem as above, my phone detected the SMS permission and said it might cost you money and recommend an uninstall. I never realised I would be able to uninstall Bluetooth without being rooted but it did it anyway - maybe it's an android bug?
Anyway, I tried downloading your Bluetooth.apk and reinstalling but it said file corrupt.
Any help would be much appreciated! Sounds like this is a bug that's been going around...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...using-t3088431
As the step 6 says, there wasn't such a line so I created it. As some of the first comments stated, when I restarted, I got stuck in the AT&T logo screen. After a few attempts of restarting it wont do anything else. so I tought that a master reset would fix it. I was able to reset it however, it asks me to set up the phone (common stuff, set language, pick wifi, set google account etc) but when those steps are done it takes me back to language screen, and then repeats all over again
Im stuck in that infinite loop. One thing is that at certain screen I'm able to access the settings, and we managed to put the phone in "easy mode" which allows me to use the phone, however, I cant go back to normal mode because it will get stuck in that same infinite loop. This is what I have:

I just checked the link and is working. If you still cant see it, this is what it says:
Things needed for this
Root
ES File Explorer File Manager
SQLite Editor
Steps:
Open ES File Explorer and from Fast Access Bar, From "Tools" Turn "Root Explorer" on
Go to this folder "\data\data\com.android.prodivers.settings\databas e" and copy "settings.db" file to "\SDCARD\Downlad" path
Open SQLite Editor and go to "FILES" tab from the top and open "settings.db" file from "\SDCARD\Downlad" path
Hit "system"
Search for the term "tether" in all fields
Change the value of "tether_entitlement_check_state" to 0 (If the entry is not there, create such)
Copy and replace original "settings.db" file from "\data\data\com.android.prodivers.settings\databas e" with our edited "settings.db" file from "\SDCARD\Downlad" using ES File Explorer
Restart the device immediately
Enjoy your ability to set up a mobile hotspot!
And, sorry for my ignorance but, how do I reflash the original kdz?
