I need some advice, I am considering unrooting because I want to sell my G2x because I am not fond of it anymore. I tried to unroot now, using the unlocker website that works in tandem with this forum. I still see Super User on my phone. I watched the video, and followed every set of the directions. What is going on with my phone?
Why would you want to unroot? I mean the buyer ( if you sell it ) probably wont even know? Just delete superuser

I might be selling it off to one of those websites that buys phones because I found one that might give $180.
SuperUser still shows up as a random APK image, not like the pirate logo. It shows a generic Android icon. I can only freeze super user. The app I downloaded to show root access is present or not says my phone is not rooted. I just am stuck in the LG-P999 Stock Af rom. I don't want Froyo anymore, I prefer going to Gingerbread for the sake of selling my phone.

You also seem to have a test build of key lime pie. This is definitely strange.

Looks like a pre-launch device.
Did you buy this from Google or your carrier? What version are you running?

@Neurotica i got it from one of the wireless stores around my area he was selling them for cheap so i took a bite on it but any methods of trying to root it or getting my pc to read it is not working any suggestions?
@MakoVince is there somthing i could do with it as far as rooting it and changing the ROM? im new to Android devices so im not sure what to do with this phone
I'd suggest that you try to update your device while it is still stock. Sideload the updates until you read KitKat.

0. Unlock the bootloader
1. Install CWM or TWRP via fastboot
2. Back up the pre-release software and save it on your computer
3. Install 4.4.2 factory image via fastboot to 'fix' your device
4. Share the backup you made, because it's interesting

Do what rusty said, you dont even know how lucky you are . We missed an oppurtinity to get a an early prerelease system once. I hope we don't lose the chance again.
Follow these instruction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnlUdjUaD3Q when you come to the point to select build number select any build.

So first of I am assuming that you have already rooted the phone and actually if that's what you're concerned about I know that Sprint will allow you to reflash the firmware at their service centers rooted or not so if that's what you're concerned about I would just go ahead and do that also I did see that Kyocera has a zip of the jelly bean update you can download I'm going to try to work on an open recovery for our phone but haven't had a chance to do it yet but those are pretty much your auctions other than trying to go into the bootloader and flash the recovery update but I believe you have to do that through our phone anyway I hope this helps some good luck manwhen I first rooted my phone I uninstalled the basic launcher and the bloatware and when I did a factory reset I had to go into the place store and download a new launcher so if you can at least get into the Play Store then you may be able to rock and roll

Hi guys,
Iam trying to get the screen mirroring enabled on myAXX but it turns out that the Mirror Enabler app only works on KitKat. I am not willing to give up my root access since alot of my daily apps use it. What options do i have?
PS: I have disabled the apps on the droid that are used for OTA updates.
Thanks for reading.
Regards.

I think as far as full display mirroring goes, you're outta luck.
A lot of third party apps can mirror content (photos, videos, audio, etc) to a Chromecast on any +4.0 device.
Also, you are aware that there is a root method for 4.4 right? (not the latest ota, and still not compatible with the mirroring)
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
That worked on my rooted max, should work on yours. I'm on 4.4.4 rooted and unlocked bootloader. I would imagine it works on all as long as you have root.
If not mistaken due to build prop data being changed with out WP being disabled you lose it working after reboot.
I can confirm full mirroring with audio does work with 4.4.4.
I too am unlocked and rooted.

True, if write protection is not disabled it would need to be ran again after reboot. But honestly, how often do people reboot their phones? Personally the only time I reboot mine is when installing an xposed module or something like that which requires reboot.
Thanks for the reply. I was sort of expecting that ..
With regards to the knowledge of a 4.4 update that retains root, no I wasn't aware of that. I've had a look in the forum and there doesn't seem to be any pros or cons related to this update so i'll be sticking with what i have working. Besides, nowhere does it say how to update to 4.4 while keeping root.

Thanks but my 4.2.2 version is what holding me back from using that method as it requires KitKat.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
i think you cant do this because it needs some apis from kitkat

You can update to 4.4 19.5.3 and still retain full root and Wp off. That will put you in the same spot you are in now but with working cast. I made a guide for this wayy back when here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616104
Use that to a T and youll be fine.
Thanks for the info but didn't the 4.4 build have the potential to brick your phone? I vaguely recall moto pulling an update from ota, can't remember if it was 4.4 though. Furthermore, are there any issues with this build, reboots, poor battery, screen issues and the likes.
EDIT: Link about the 4.4 fiasco: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Moto...4.4-for-the-DROID-MAXX-ULTRA-and-Mini_id51357

I have applied that patch several times with no brick.
Thanks for confirming. I've followed the guide (excellent guide btw) and successfully upgraded to 4.4 with root.
Installed MirrorEnabler v4, though without success
FYI for anyone reading this.

That is odd. Which 4.4 build are you on? If 19.5.3 try it with 19.6.3. I don't use the app myself so I'm just guessing.
I do know with root on 4.4.4 it does work. Even though I am unlocked as long as you only do a soft reboot it should work. Not sure but it may need to have the update Chromecast app installed as well that has the cast screen option in the settings. Mirror app prior to v4 required sqlite root since it changes a value in the build prop if I remember right.
But I maybe of on that part been a bit since I did mine back on version 2 I think it was. Any how I do know the droid ultra and x line it does work.
If you still have issues I suggest you head you over to that thread for better detailed help it very active since the day it started those guys there are way more knowledgeable then I on that topic

I'm on 19.5.3. Will share some logs and tests with the MirrorEnabler author and wait for a reply.

I tried all versions with no success
Just confirmed latest version of Chromecast app in the store and noticed an updated "What's new" section saying that mirroring works from KitKat 4.4.2 MR1.
If I get the unlock code and successfully unlock my boot loader would I then be able to get 4.4.2 on my MAXX with root?
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
No 4.4.2 software for max unless it's a ROM. Latest is 4.4.4.
CC software for the phone is 1.7.4 to mirror. Had to get a down load from the other thread or in that section. Should be able to get it to mirror I would think before updating to 4.4.4.
To keep full root with w/p off you need to be unlocked and replace the recovery with a custom one if you goto to 4.4.4 at this time.

Still digging
Chromecast uses WebRTC to stream content using VP8 and H.264 video compression. Can't find any documentation with reference to VP8 encoding being supported by the MSM8960DT, the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is the same as the SoC found in the 2013 Nexus 7 (has official screen mirroring support).
One you unlock (correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood you are trying to get unlock code), you can OTA up to 4.4.4 or even install it via TWRP as I did and still have root. Enabler works on mine, 4.4.4 unlocked/rooted/wp off.

Thanks. Do you happen to remember if you updated from 19.5.3 directly to 4.4.4, and was it using stock recovery?

So I made the mistake of not backing up the MetroPCS​ sim unlock app and couldn't make a nandroid due to the encryption limitations, which I've since fixed.
I was seeing if anyone could upload the app, then we can also have this for archive purposes and incluebitnin custom ROMs
Anybody? ?

There is the simlocker folder
Thank you very much downloading now
Update: so I placed the files in the priv-app folder and it shows up and runs fine. Unfortunately, I think since I'm running Walker blue v2 and not stock. I get the message saying the app is incompatible with this device. That because the rom reports that it's an S7 I believe.
When I'm eligible for the network unlock, I'm going to flash back to stock.
Just a heads up to anyone that needed this as well.
