But remember to restore the original recovery, instead of twrp. Heh.. whups.. Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Did you knox trip? Thanks, ken

Thanks sbdags!! A very timely update. While I replaced my TF700 as my daily driver a few months ago, my son's tablet (which he actually uses for school) died today. So after a hesitation-free wipe, installed, now waiting for boot!

Just thought I'd share my experience, in case someone else makes the same mistake I did ... I put the card into my computer and ran gparted to create the partitions. I fiddled with it for a while, resizing partitions while trying to decide how much space to allocate to each and what format to...

Am I being daft? I tried following the links to the new TWRP website, then to Devices then searched for tf700t, and followed that link. However the only links that apepar on that page are to the github source repo, and the TWRP G+ page. Am I looking for it wrong, or is the blob for TF700T...

Free to try and see if it will work. Not free to actually do the unlock. Sorry I wasn't clear. It runs some tests, and only asks for payment if it is sure it will succeed. $25 is chump change for the amount of work those guys put into opening the phone, and the number of handsets they kill in...

No, I'm sure it wasn't your English. :) Many people have tried to talk Verizon out of the unlock codes. Nobody has succeeded. It is simply not in Verizon's interest to let you use your phone the way you want to. They make the most money from you using your phone the way *they* want you to...

Firmware is identical between verizon and Dev edition, as is the hardware. Only difference is ability to get unlock code from moto, and warranty staying in effect after you messed with the software. Flash away, you have the right files. If you need help, search for posts from nwkent, he has...

Firmware is identical. Only difference of Dev edition is ability to get unlock code from moto and warranty surviving doing so. ken Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Do not install this unless you read at least the last dozen or so pages of this thread. This is a beta ROM, and as such it assuredly has bugs. If you are expecting a clean, daily-driver level of completeness you will be disappointed. That day will come - the developers doing this work are...

Hi, sbdags, Au contraire, even though there are some rough edges I'm finding it a *huge* improvement over even Crombi-kk. I just installed beta7 a day or so ago, and other than play store the lagginess is *gone*. I haven't been able to say that about this tablet since it was just a month...

No, I didn't get a response. I did create all three as primary partitions. I didn't set the boot flag on any though, should I have? I ended up just barrelling ahead, I wiped the card and relaid it out with the data partition much larger and sdcard small. I'm guessing the sdcard partition is...

Hi All, I'm confused on something, maybe someone can set me straight. I set up -kk on a rom2sd card. It's a 64G card, partitioned per the instructions at the beginning of the ROM thread to: 1 30G fat32 (sdcard) 2 31G ext4 (data) 3 ~1.5G ext4 (system) After installing, partition 3...

Sounds like you might be one of those for whom the Sunshine app will work. Worth a try, you'll be unlocked and never have to worry about losing root again. Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Be very very careful charging a lithium battery pack with anything but the normal circuits. They store a lot of energy, and are easy to overheat and start a fire. If you try it, do it outside on the sidewalk clear of anything flammable. Ken Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Hi, just thought I'd post my experience in case someone else has a similar problem and happens to use the search function. on this thread. I prepared an external 64GB card as per the install instructions on the CROMBi-kk thread. I have a netbook running Ubuntu 14.04, so I used that instead of...

Hopefully a quick question ... I currently have CROMi-X installed and _that v10 kernel. I prepared a fresh SD card according to the instructions at the beginning of the devel thread for a ROM2SD install. Does the install of CROMBi-kk in its ROM2SD form wipe data from the internal memory? I...

There is a protocol where the tablet instructs the charger to change to a 15v output. Nonstandard USB. ken Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Are you using the google stock fastboot? Sounds like you need to get the Motorola version from an fxz (the older fxz files have it at least). The stock one can't handle the image sizes. ken Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

No. You need an unlocked boot loader to flash a new ROM (except for the OEM Roms anyway). ken Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

I hate mine. CROMi-X has helped a lot, but it still has a half-life of about three days before I have to wipe caches again. Sorry, I get impatient waiting for it to wake up. WiFi is horribly slow on it also. The plus side is it has taught me that I don't actually need a tablet. I had dreams...

If you had enough overheating to be visible the display driver hardware is fried at minimum. A new LCD won't fix that. Sorry, I think your main board is toast. This is one of the reasons a removable battery would have been really nice. Even if it's shorted you could often pull the battery...

4.4 has USB OTG capability disabled. There are apps which can still access OTG devices with a file browser, but you can't mount it without root. The home button bug merely puts you back to the center home screen rather than the one you were on. Annoying is all. Sent from my XT1080 using XDA...

Go to Motorola's site and order a Developer Edition phone (Maxx or X). Right now that is the only way to get an unlock, in any form. Sorry, I know that is not the answer you were looking for... ken Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Have you tried a hard reset? Little hole near the SD card, insert a pin or small paperclip, there is a button inside that will force a reset when the external buttons don't work. ken Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app

I wonder if he knows what he is talking about. When I unlocked it took many retries off and on over 2-3 weeks. Their server is really flaky. Eventually it did work. I suggest continuing to retry the unlock a few times per day while you pursue the "keybox" business. Maybe you will get lucky...

Nah. It's a developer edition, so mucking with the software is perfectly expected. You might want to do a factory wipe though, just for safety's sake (practice Safe Hex!).

If you return it you need to keep pestering them for status or they'll let it sit. I had to return mine after it dropped dead. I was able to get a replacement, but it was kind of an odd procedure - apparently the folks who do Moto's repairs don't have a way to get new phones, and/or there...

My Maxx was doing well for a long time, then over the last few days I started seeing huge battery draw. System Panel and Wakelock Detector seemed to agree that the big hogs were email and audio. I was hitting email relatively hard recently but certainly not 43% of on-battery time. I don't use...

Nope. We seem to be in the minority though. The IMEI is what is needed to effectively clone a phone. I believe it takes special equipment or software, but again so does unlocking. I find it interesting that folks who would never post their imei in a public forum would nevertheless send it to...

Buy the developer edition (they are back in stock on Moto's website). Follow the directions on Moto's website to unlock. Then look for NWKENT's posts in this forum for his easy instructions for installing TWRP, which will then install root for you. If what you're thinking is to take a rooted...

OK I spoke to the second-tier support folks. They are indeed unable to get parts or do anything with my unit. Nor can they just send me a new one from stock. They are unable to access that stream of hardware. Go figure. However what they did offer was if I ordered a new one from the Moto...

I'll try to give them a call tomorrow, and see what they say. If the DE is truly in stock again to order new, they have no excuse not to cough one up. I'll post whatever response I get. p.s. Yes I was perfectly aware about the China Connection. As I mentioned in my OP, I don't feel...

I have a MAXX Developer Edition that suddenly dropped dead a couple weeks ago. Off it went to Motorola for warranty repair. Now they say they don't have parts to fix it, have no idea when parts will be available nor replacements. They are offering me $$ back or another model (presumably with...

FoxFi can tether through Bluetooth or hardwire if you're not rooted. It needs a helper app on the client side though.

I feel for ya. My MAXX just bit the dust this morning. Dev edition, so dealt with Motorola direct. It's on its way to El Paso as we speak ...

Yes. You have the pre-camera update 4.2.2. Look for the procedures posted by NWKENT. Read them carefully, follow them to a tee. Miss no steps. And you can get there. Here is the link: http://waynekent.com/page6.html (Unless you went out of your way, you have the XT1080 Public Edition)...

Yep. No root available for Ultra/Maxx/Mini on 4.4, except Developer Editions. And nobody with enough skill is interested in working on it.

Touchless was something I was liking and just getting the hang of using on my MAXX. I don't use it normally, but it was a big help in the car. Since updating to 4.4 I haven't used touchless at all. It just doesn't work for me anymore. (e.g. Assist drive mode is gone, and the "OKGoogleNow"...

If you can get a look at the box before plunking down money, it gives the installed version on the label. Look for "S/W: 12.7.7.obake" or "S/W: 12.15.15.obake". Those are 4.2 (pre-camera update and post). Be sure you are ready to hit "later" on the update prompt when the phone is first...

Having an unlocked non-dev edition is quite a unique situation. I would guess that you could do anything that could be done with a dev edition, but I certainly don't know for sure. And I'm not sure anyone else would know for sure either except the person who unlocked it. However even a locked...

I'm guessing here, since you didn't post the reason your app was pulled, but from your description I'm guessing a copyright problem. If you are using material obtained from somebody else (iOS files, movie images, etc.) be sure you have appropriate license to use and redistribute them. Finding...

I too am getting the zip signature verification errors. TWRP 2.6.3.1, Droid MAXX dev edition. I verified the md5sum via ES File Explorer. I tried recopying it a couple times, same results. Somehow I'm reluctant to install it anyway, given where the tool sits in the OS... Does anyone have...

The Migrate function worked pretty well for my wife. Not sure if game save data transferred, but everything else certainly did (Driod X to Droid MAXX).

NEWKENT: head over to the droid x forum and look for the TWRP there. It works on the maxx, follow the same instructions as for the x. You'll then be rooted with a good recovery. Then the other hacks in this forum will work (e.g. entitlement and so on). I suggest requesting the link to the...

OTG mounting was removed in 4.4. Since you are rooted, just install Stick Mount and you'll be good to go. Note though exFAT isn't supported, you'll need to reformat to fat32. Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app ---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at...

Thanks. I bit the bullet, made sure I backed up what I could, then pulled the unlock trigger. As you said, it wiped everything. Ken Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app

I'm interested to find out as well. Here's what' I know so far: #2: This loads the "recovery" partition. It includes things like wiping the phone back to factory, via a magic tapdance of button presses. I don't know what they all are, but the one I was interested in (factory wipe) is...

Is it true that unlocking the boot loader on developer edition maxx erases all user data? If so, anyone have ideas on how to back up as much as possible before doing so? I'm on 4.4 but not rooted. Thanks in advance.. Ken Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
