lolipop rom for cdma verizon moto g 8gb? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone know one that works or maybe they like? Im having a hard time finding any rom at all.

uh I found some cm12 that kind of works. no text/calling/data but everything else works. I was only using it as a remote control so I guess thats fine. although It doesnt seem to be rooted. anyone know how I could root it?
EDIT: ah nevermind I found the file to root it.

Please provide links for the rom(s) your speaking of, along with screenshots of (root) file, also are you on an unlocked boot loader? As of this writing there isn't a known rooted CDMA verizon Moto G...

my bootloader is unlocked and I think its probably a gsm rom because in my last post remember I said texting/calling/data Doesn't work. also the file that rooted the rom im using is UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37 and the rom was..meh i dunno. some nightly verision of cm12 thats stable enough to use hangouts and yatse. I was using that cdma test rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-t3036120 but i wasnt sure about it because some weird things on a post somewhere in there. Also I wasnt really looking for a rooted rom. I was looking for any rom. the person who sold me the phone wiped the os an left it with nothing on it. would you happen to know a stock verizon/boostmobile rom for it?

You don't have to flash anything to get root on CM12 - turn on Developer Options and go in there to enable built-in root access.
And isn't there already a CM12 build specifically for the XT1028(VZW)/1031(Boost) right in the Dev subforums? If you're unlocked then I think these should work for you.
FYI, I personally use a SIM-modded XT1031 so can't be of that much help.

Is it possible to use a Non-CDMA MotoG on Verizon PP ?

I couldn't find any dev options Could you link the rom your talking about? Also I don't know if PP allows gsm phones. Also what's modded about your sim?

Settings - About phone - click Build number 7 times - press Back - you can see Developer options. Get in there and an option for enabling root is right there.
XT1028 and XT1031, like many CDMA phones, don't natively have SIM slots (SIM info written onto chips), but here in China, many such phones are hardware modified to remove the chips and solder the SIM slot so that we can directly insert a local SIM card. These are sold online at a bargain which makes them a hot choice.

Physically soldering a SIM slot, or even 2 slots (because the phone's body has 2 reserved slots). Yes, both slots are (only) CDMA capable - I use it on China Telecom for tethering.
Similar mods can also be done on the 1028, but because of the locked bootloader, if you do sth to the system that messed up the signal, it's nearly impossible to recover. Hence the preference for 1031.

Cricket Galaxy S3 Discussion Thread

Just wanted to start up the discussion thread for the Cricket Galaxy S3 model SCH-R530C. We share models with the USCC version, but the data doesnt work correctly when a USCC build is flashed.
Heres a write-up on how to root the Cricket GS3:

Actually. The cricket GS3 is basically the USCC GS3 with a different modem. So, they're very similar. Exactly why its in this forum.

Have everything working but the camera and MMS it looks like. I'm not a dev by far so someone who knows what they're doing can do this right I'm sure.

My cousin got the cricket s3, ive been helping him out, getting rooted and cwm, now just need a real ROM. I cant seem to find any dedicated places for this phone specifically, there doesnt seem to be much dev work on it either, or am i wrong?

There isn't much work on US Cellular and MetroPCS so you can expect the same for Cricket. ShabbyPenguin is being a gentleman and devoting some time. He's already started to post on CricketUsers.
I got everything working minus MMS and camera with CM10. I think others can figure out the rest.
Yep, wondering myself if a JB TW STOCK ROM can be put on here.
I have the S3 on VZW and Stock w/ Root w/ Touch CWM. The only issue is since this is ICS and not JB yet, NFC doesn't work. (unless its just not working) Says something about it can't handle the file size in transfer.
We got it with a rebate for $330 what about you?

Stock NFC can only handle small transfers like a contact card. S-Beam will allow you to transfers photos and video but of course this will only work between Samsung devices.

Stock NFC as in ICS? Whats different than ICS NFC and JB NFC? Because I can transfer anything else with my phone. Like normal 8mp images between other JB S3's and Note 2 with JB.
Is JB NFC updated or advanced?
EDIT: NVM dont know why NFC worked before without sbeam, turned on sbeam a second ago and even transferred a video.
In case people in this thread didn't know noobl did a good bit of work and got the camera working.

1) is this thread for vzw flash to cricket, or cricket s3? Found in verizon forums, part but title slightly confusing.
2)if so, anyone point me to the place for a patch/method for getting the data connection off Verizon? Flashed with talk n txt, and 3G, but still getting verizon data network instead of cricket or sprint. Has to be something I have over looked. TUI

I would guess because XDa doesn't support less popular carriers. Therefore people place the threads in the models which share the most similarities.

[Q] How to dual boot (multi boot)?

Hi All, here's the use case: I use my phone for work quite a lot, so I need a stable, fully configured version running during working hours (this is, my curent rooted-stock 4.1.2, but also I want to play with other ROMS and possibly in the future migrate from my main stock ROM to a custom one.
I've read that it was possible to dual-boot on CM9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774795) and that for other S3 (I9300 and I9305) there's a kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686) that allows multi-boot pretty easy.
Now I want to know, is it possible and is there a good totorial to dual boot in an updated Verizon S3 (I535VRBMF1)?
Thanks

No as none of the kernels has a dual boot option.
As mentioned it's not possible. Next best option is to nandroid and restore as needed

Is it really impossible? Back before the bootloader was unlocked we were using kexec to theoretically do the same thing.

No isn't possible with this phone since we no longer use kexec and pretty much all of the custom kernels don't have any dual boot option.

I'm positive. The best and closest thing we can do is backup ROMs and flash back and forth between them... but actually dual booting won't happen. It has something to do with how our phones boot up... I've read the explanation somewhere.

Hmm, I'll have to look for that explanation. It would seem to me that someone could build a kernel with kexec again and multiboot kind of like Tasssadar did for the Nexus 7. I realize it's different hardware than the N7, but seems it would be doable since something similar was already done once-upon-a-time on this device.

There were certain kernels that could dual boot for an S3, but from my understanding, not for the VZW S3 (I could be wrong here, or just wrong entirely). I really don't know much about kernels and hardware, but maybe it has something to do with the lack of hardware that a VZW S3 has compared to the others. Quite possibly the processors since the VZW is actually only a dual core? Not sure if that would have anything to do with it. Lol.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Dual Boot has definitely been achieved on the Verizon Galaxy S3 via kexec. It was how we were able to get around the locked bootloader. Once it was unlocked however we no longer needed it so it was dropped. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28809516
I for one would definitely donate to any dev that was able to come up with a working solution (like Tasssadar's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403)

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.

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.

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.

Anyone know where to find old nightlies?

I've been running CM12 for a while now, but today it just crashed and wouldn't boot. Sadly, all the nightlies available to download won't install due to my boot loader which I'm not currently willing or able to update, so I was wondering if anyone knew where to find old nightlies, or more specifically where the XT1032 2015 0314 ROM is (which Is the last one I understand which has neither the boot loader issues nor the annoying screen updating). Im not really too fussed about the newer, small improvements and will probably only update when there is an easy and (mostly) risk free way of updating the boot loader anyway, I just want a version of CM12 with features like the theme manager and custom notification bar icons which arnt available on the version i currently am forced to run.
Thanks in advance
The only places I know:
1. goo.im/devs/CM
2. oss.reflected.net/jenkins (you have to know the build sequence number for the specific nightly)
Updating the bootloader isn't hard - there are actually recovery-flashable zips that will do the trick. These are model-specific (e.g. XT1032's can be only used on XT1032), so you should search with your model number. If you have 1031 or 1033 I'll send you the files directly.
Also, there's a way of flashing these new nightlies on old BL which involves modifying updater-script, but even though you can flash it, the screen flicker problem will be there.
What solution you will take is totally up to you.

First of all applying a stock rom update requires already installed old firmware
And second it is possible only with a stock recovery

First of all I wasn't being rude its just that people here ask things that are already told many times before( like for example some are still asking if cm supports dual Sim) and still help them if I know about it and second I didn't know that CM link gave an error so he should have mentioned it
And for flashing stock firmware there are literally a lot of guides with link to the firmware and standard set of fastboot command
People should Google things first and then they can obviously ask

True. But see, people flashing *custom* ROMs rarely expect that they have to flash a *stock* ROM first in order for it to function as planned. Anyway, let's just tell similar people to go to General section for guides and alike, because (damn) Google isn't really doing me justice recently...

Yes general section provides most of the things
And why did you say a stock ROM is required first for a custom ROM to work properly because I that's not the case

A direct (but time-consuming) way to upgrade his bootloader to 5.0's. Isn't this the whole reason why he's looking for an older nightly?
If I had the bootloader files for XT1032 I would've directly handed him the flashable zip though... Even faster than fastboot.

The bootloader for lollipop on both xt1033 and xt1032 are strictly same and md5 checksum is also same and that's available so you can download the Asian 5.0.2 and extract the bootloader image given in this thread

Great then. Here's my flashable zip for XT1033 that should do the same thing: http://d-h.st/rI1n
Keep in mind: the original creator of the package is not me - I only modified it to put in files specific to XT1033 and prevent flashing a few suspicious partitions. Because I manually updated mine using fastboot, I can't test out the package personally, but responses from my Chinese community is fairly positive. Be careful as anyone proceeds with this.

I don't need it myself, I already have an updated bootloader on my xt1033
I provided you the link to help the person that created this thread and he has an xt1032
Either way I don't think he needs help because know he hasn't posted here for some time

Yeah I meant that link for him... Hasn't responded though, hopefully he figured it out.
Might as well open a new General thread for this...

Thanks for the help, I ditched the plan of reverting to stock after finding a guide for flashing an updated boot loader with OS X, I only wish CM kept old nightlies for longer or at least remove links for ones they have taken down. If this thread has taught me anything though, it's to keep backups!

[Q] XT1031 updated bootloader? (Boost Mobile edition)

I have the Moto G XT1031 and I have not found a way to update the bootloader. Can anyone direct me to the official XT1031 Lollipop stock rom which has the bootloader update, or a flashable zip I can use to update my bootloader? Thanks.
Don't do it. Just wait for lollipop.

I suppose that's the only choice I have. Since Xposed isn't working on my 5.1 rom I might as well downgrade to 4.4.4, and I have the screen flickers anyway
I have the bootloader flashable zip, and there is a tool in the dev subforum that upgrades bootloader for many variants of G.
However, you do have to consider the fact that once you upgrade there's no way back, i.e. 4.4 ROMs will also flicker under 5.0 BL. There's also the potential threat of permanent bricking if you downgrade to official 4.4 and take OTAs.
I personally only use CM, so whatever gets the latest CM working will do for me, but as for you... think about it.

I used @AndyYan method a few months ago to upgrade bootloader on xt1031 and it worked flawlessly. No problems to this day.
