    Post [Q] Missed vendor.img when installing M preview

    Happy to report success - well, partial success anyway. Per GedBlake, I swapped in a new machine and cable, and per simmac I made sure my binaries were updated. As it turns out, this was unnecessary: my mistake, after looking at GedBlake's screenshot was that I was not down in fastboot, I was...

    Post [Q] Missed vendor.img when installing M preview

    So assuming fastboot doesn't see the device, then, I'm out of options and looking at an RMA? Why would this be? I've placed both adb and fastboot both in the machine's PATH, so executing them with the ./ prefix is unnecessary. Certainly worked just fine the first time around without them.

    Post [Q] Missed vendor.img when installing M preview

    Unfortunately, fastboot can't see the device either: ferro$ fastboot devices ferro$ This is with the Nexus 9 connected and in fastboot mode. As for it being a driver issue, everything that I've seen suggests that specific to Windows, and I'm on Mac. Is that accurate, or are there drivers I...

    Post [Q] Missed vendor.img when installing M preview

    In the same boat here. Enabled USB debugging, OEM unlocked, flashed the device manually (build failed, did the .img's sequentially), now the device gets stuck on the Google logo at boot. Attempted recovery and reset, no joy. Gets stuck on the Google logo. When back in the Fastboot menu...

    Post Nexus 7 to get 5.0 lollipop Nov 12th

    Also bummed about the lack of deb images. I probably need to adjust my calculus for purchasing the devices in future. Part of the reason I purchase the Nexus devices in the first place is the expedited access to new Android versions. If the mobile data versions are going to lag so significantly...

    Post Moto Voice: "opening Google"

    Yeah, this last update to Voice addressed the latency issues, but created a whole new set of problems as "set alarm" now just gets passed to Google instead of actually setting the alarm. If I have to actually click "Set Alarm" on the resulting Google search page, it kind of defeats the point of...

    Post Turbo charger

    For anyone curious for some stats, I just got my Turbo charger and let my phone run completely dry. After a timed 15 minutes (only booted up after the 15 were up), my phone was at 29%. After a second timed 15 minute segment, it was at 57%. That's not as good as I'd hoped, but it's certainly...

    Cool, I'll give it a look. Hope it addresses the silent fail as well.

    Thread Moto Assist/Voice Slower?

    As a big fan of the original Moto X, which I unfortunately damaged beyond repair, a big factor for me in choosing to replace it with the 2014 version was the Moto software - specifically what used to be called Moto Assist. The ability to both detect driving and automatically read and reply to...

    Post Bands by Model # per Motorola's Spec sheet

    as promised earlier in this thread, have a field report on the pure edition from vermont. it's a good news / bad news kind of thing, i'm afraid. the bad news is that where i am, at least, in middlebury, vt the pure edition is not connecting to LTE - network is 4G HSPA. the good news is that...
