hey everyone, so I am thinking of moving from my **** I9500 (good phone) just for the reason that I cant flash aosp Roms. So I would like to go for a nexus device and just to makre sure...there are many Roms for this phone without any problems right? I know its a nexus, but just to make sure because the I9500 had a problems with AOSP. Also how much space do you get in the 16gb model....and is it enough for some music and apps.
Thanks

You have about 12,5 GB left for you on the 16GB model, and yes development is great regarding rom`s, kernels and mods.

Not as far as i know, why would storage size be a problem. They are all the same roms for both the 16 and 32GB models.

There weren't any problems with the 32gb model. Just user error

I wonder where all these misconceptions come from?
plenty of asop ROMS to go around and I recommend the 32GB version
Has anyone has success in rooting RW's Moto G?
Mine is going to get here tomorrow and there are some apps that I can't live without; of course, they all require root.
I see that the Moto X (for RW) has been successfully rooted, but no news on the G.
If anyone is able to root this Moto G, I'd love to hear about it, as would tons of other customers of Republic Wireless.
Note: If the rooting was successful and the phone seems stable, please share the details as to the process you used.
Update: After looking further into the situation, it seems that safestrap does not work on android 4.4.
The method for rooting the Moto X under RW requires safestrap, so maybe the Moto G does too?
Just my thoughts, it would be nice if someone responded with their own ideas.
You're the first I have heard of someone having the Republic Wireless version. I see they just became available last month. Do you know what the model # is? Is it a XT1031 like the Boost (Sprint) version? Did u get the 8 or 16 gig version? Could you post what your firmware version is? Have you tried unlocking the boot loader through the Motorola website? I'm really curious about the RW version of these phones. Verizon and Boost don't have 16 gig versions. So, these are the first CDMA versions available with 16 gig of storage.

Me too!
I just got this phone as well.
Not sure how to tell my model number. 16 G version. Firmware, is that baseband, kernal, or system version?
I tried unlocking the bootloader through Moto, the website said my phone was lot eligible.
Will post my info if you tell me where to look on the phone.
Tks,

The firmware is the system version. I just curious. I'm not really sure where to look up the model #. Mine just says "Moto G" on that screen. That's cool that you got a 16 gig version. I wish Verizon had those!

Right ON. Just switched from 7 years with Verizon....
My Model # is Moto G as well.
System Version: 175.44.27.falcon_cdma.RepublicWireless.en.US
Ideas?

Sorry for the super late response. Airdroid refers to it as the XT1031, so same as the Boost (and possibly all Sprint network) versions.
Lenovo S 860 is the latest offering from Lenovo and released recently in India. It has a massive battery of 4000 mah and is the best phone for people who want something which has a lot of stamina and this phone certainly lives up to the expectations.
SInce I was unable to find a specific forum for this phone I am posting it in the general section.
This is specifically for people who want more out of their Android phones.
So here you go, to root this phone, it is very simple, use VROOT. It is a one click process and works perfectly, but the super user installed will be in Chinese.
http://www.mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot
Thanks for posting/confirming that Vroot works for the S860 (and for starting this thread)- I'm about to purchase this phone later today. Is there any way to replace the Chinese superuser with an English one?
Edit: Just found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965781
Has anyone bought and is using this phone? Haven't seen much activity online so far even though it's a fairly decent offering. Perhaps if the Mods could move this thread to Android General it might be more helpful?
On a side note, if anyone is using the phone have you received 4.4 update yet?

Yeah...have been using the phone for the last 3 weeks. Performance is very good for day to day taks - calls/browsing/streaming etc . The best part I like about this phone is the mammoth battery and Lenovo still managed this in a rather slim body. It is also lighter than note 2.
Recieved kitkat update yesterday. A few changes to the UI - now it is lag free.
Kitkat update link
Can anybody post the link or how to upgrade Lenovo S860 to Kitkat. Lenovo released the update but since it around 1 GB unable to do so through phone. It gets interrupted due to unstable net connection and sloe speed. Is there anyway I can do this through PC.
VRoot did not work for me after upgrading phone to 4.4.2. It rebooted the phone constantly, asked for permission to restore data from PC to phone, but the root process kept failing. Anyone else face the same issue?
I have used S860 for a month now. Android 4.2.2 works good except for some lag. I would like to upgrade to 4.4 but don't want to loose google play. Any suggestions? Can I install the Lenovo update of 4.4 and then reinstall google play?

This will only work for the Chinese 1 GB model of Lenovo S860 - not the 2 GB ROW (Rest of the World) Model.
From whatever little is available online for this phone I'm guessing it's hard to root if the phone's running kitkat - and it doesn't look like any developer will come up with Root for it. It's just too bad, I miss using AdAway the most!

Flash S860
I have an S860 (1GB) bought from China obviously and when I received it it had no gapps and no caller id in Europe which was annoying.
What I did:
1. Installed 4.2.2 ROW Version (also when I flashed it I put a custom recovery image TWRP 2.7)
2. After I flashed it I installed root and modem for 3G calls from custom recovery.
That's it, feel free to ask me any question!

I bought my S860 on eBay (Honk Kong), it has KitKat 4.4.2 already installed and all Google services on and working. Language only english and chinese. Also it haso no caller id in Europe (little annoying) so set OFF.
Point 2. will be interesting for me, how to root the phone (with build ver. VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_7_ST_S860 and baseband version S860.V102, 2014/04/15) and set caller ID to Europe?
Thanks.

I have this Chinese version too, I got it few weeks ago.
When I got it, it had Android 4.2.* and everything was OK.
Then I got the notification that there is a system update (over 700MB), and I updated it.
After the update I have KitKat 4.4.2, Baseband S860.V102, Build VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_7_ST_S860., there was no Google Play store and stuff, so I had to loose time to make Google services to work.
Now it works, but I have some problems with notifications from the apps. Sometimes I get notifications from Facebook messenger and other apps, but most times I don't get any notifications, except from the mail.
It is really annoying, and I can't find any solution.
I'm no expert for rooting and stuff, I previously used Nexus 4 with stock system, and I bought this phone because of 2 SIM slots and good battery life.
Do you have any suggestions for my problem?
Do you know if it is possible to, maybe, install Cyanogenmod on it, and would that solve the problems?
2gb ram, 16gb rom, 5.3"ips,
I'm seriously considering this phone, the P780 has more development, but is lacking the extra features this model provides.
I'm in Canada and would need the development to reflect ROW needs.
BUT,,,
No development so far
So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and here's to (Prost!) to further development............

I also have 2gb ram 16gb S860 rom. I was looking for a related article about root, but no one ever discusses it. if there was even discussed in the jelly bean root instead kitkat.
My experience using framaroot and vroot not succeed in kitkat (2gb ram 16 rom).
I am also waiting for this type of developer for lenovo, considering this phone is a new entry in Indonesia. I come from Indonesia.

So the Lenovo site lists this phone "Ports - Micro SD up to 32GB", does your phone have a Micro SD Memory slot?
http://shopap.lenovo.com/hk/en/smartphones/s-series/s860/#tab-tech_specs
If not, is there ROW version of this model?
Mine is 2gb ram and 16 gb rom. I have rooted it with vroot. Then instaled twrm using mtk mobileoncle plus supersu. You can download correct version from lenovo.forum.ru

I think one of the specifications listed there, whether or not there is behind casing. because mine is not available microSD slot. there are only a miniUSB slot and audio jack 3.5, as well as slots for dual SIM
to my knowledge, ROW version is 2gb and 1gb CN. please correct if I'm wrong.

Did you root it while you were on jellybean or kitkat? After upgrading to kitkat neither vroot, nor framaroot are working. I tried with three different windows laptops.
Lenovo S860 2GB RAM = ROW
Lenovo S860 1GB RAM = CN/vibeui
I root it on kitkat with no problems using vroot.

I just got a new Boost Moto G that came with 4.4.2. Upgrade is available. I plan to root and flash CM13 as I have on my GS3. Can I just go from here or should I upgrade to 5.1 via carrier before rooting and flashing a ROM? Does it make a difference? I have everything downloaded and ready to go for rooting on 5.1 as the phone was advertised as coming with 5.1 installed, and I hadn't planned for this situation.
Thanks!
Hi,
Can i ask what's the exact model of your Moto G ? (XT10**)
If it's a 1031, i suggest you to look the great emptiness of available roms before doing something...
Always if it's a 1031, suggest you to do your update and root it...sadly, i think it will be the most you can do for it but i hope i'm wrong and some dev will do something for you and other owners.
You can also unlock it anyway, install a custom recovery and flash it with optimized rom from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
but i'm afraid it will be the best you can do for the moment...

I'm not sure, it says 175.44.1 falcon-cdma-boost, model Moto G. It was a "certified preowned" for 29 bucks from Boost lol
So CM13 nightly won't work on this one if it is 1031? I thought it was for falcon? Honestly, all I want to be able to do is apply CM themes and do a few tweaks to the status bar.

For CM13, sure (just done now a test flashing my previous CM12.1 based BlissPop and back on my daily driver MM CM13 Bean Stalk for another Mate who asked for in Peregrine (XT1039) section. Everything worked flawlessly !!!)
For your CDMA, not so sure...use the latest who's totally safe !!!
2.8.7.0 would be nice & enough if you can find it but 2.8.6.0 must be enough too imao...

I am looking at the TWRP site and did some research...apparently the xt1032 version works on the 1031 but some roms won't install with TWRP because of the model number discrepancy. So I'm looking around to find out if CM13 checks for model number in recovery to flash...some require it and some don't, apparently.

Before you do anything, unlock the Bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47705438&postcount=6
Then flash the 5.1 Factory Firmware Image: (Fastboot Tutorial)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795
From that point you can move on to custom ROMs if you wish.
