<temporary thread hijack> kb8no and stevejohnson42, I really appreciate your prompt replies, help and knowledge. The X Pure is a good phone for the money and still fully functional 3 1/2 years after release. I have always been gentle with the battery and I still get 2 days out of a charge with...

Thanks again, kb8no and stevejohnson42. I think I'm going to go with the unofficial LOS 14.1 over stock since I assume the security updates will be more current and everything seems to be working with that version of LOS. I haven't flashed a ROM in a while. Leaving TWRP read only prevents me...

Thanks for these posts, kb8no and stevejohnson42. I have an X Pure that I kept on Marshmallow because at the time that was where all the development was going on. Today, the picture is much different and I am trying to decide what to do. I had no idea that Hashbang173 was still maintaining an...

Looking for updated ROM for XT-1575 randomblame, thanks for all the work you've put into this. We all really appreciate it! Same to Hashbang173! Forgive my ignorance, but just asking to be sure- As of today (December, 2018), is this the only option for someone looking for a security-patched...

Several apps lose internet unless "apply rules and conditions" is unchecked Good points. I shouldn't have said that Netguard is "the problem", but instead that it is associated with the problem- possibly as an interaction. I actually DO have data saver on. I will switch it off and test. Thanks.

Netguard is definitely the problem- with all of the apps I mentioned, when "Apply rules and conditions" is checked, internet access is blocked. As soon as I uncheck it, internet access returns. The data from the weather app is misleading because it works when I use the app itself, but it is the...

I'm having this problem as well. Maybe #M66B will look into fixing this. I love being able to use the ad blocking feature

Several apps lose internet unless "apply rules and conditions" is unchecked My wifi is unmetered and I had already given access to Play Services and Download manager so that doesn't appear to be the problem. I can't read the logs under the overflow menu because I'm a free user and that menu...

Several apps lose internet unless "apply rules and conditions" is unchecked I screenshotted what seems to be the relevant settings, the settings for the Weather Underground app and the resolved domain names. I cleared the resolved domain names, tried to load the weather with the weather...

Sorry for my ignorance, but I've never worked through this troubleshooting process with netguard before. Is there an easy way to export the Netguard settings and access attempts to xda? I switched on "Log internet access". I already have "Filter traffic" enabled. But I don't know how to find...

Makes sense. A few specific questions: The settings for Netguard or for an app that is losing internet access? Or both? Which specific settings? Is there a log from Netguard that you want me to post? What logging info are you interested in? Thanks.

Several apps lose internet unless "apply rules and conditions" is unchecked Although certain apps on my phone have been granted unrestricted internet access in the Netguard settings, they don't have internet access unless I uncheck the box "Apply rules and conditions" on the netguard...

The issue of the MM vs. N modems is part of the reason I started this thread. My understanding was that official Lineage OS 14.1 would only work properly if the phone was still running MM firmware because LOS 14.1 was not configured to handle the N modem as written above by discovery94. It seems...

Thanks for the excellent support, acejavelin! That's why I love XDA.

Thanks for your patience with me, acejavelin. My intent is to switch to Lineage OS now, but make sure I understand the correct steps to return to stock in the future if I want to. I wanted to confirm that info before everyone is gone from the Moto X Pure forum. I tend to keep my phones for a...

acejavelin, thanks again and sorry for asking so many questions. For those of us who only play around at this stuff, it is hard to keep this all in our heads. Especially since a wrong move can hard brick the phone as you mentioned. Interesting- You say if I return to stock 18-8, Moto will offer...

Thanks for your help, acejavelin! Some further clarifying questions- I assumed I would just copy and paste the commands you provided exactly as listed. Is that OK? Or do I need to substitute the commands you showed at the bottom: fastboot oem fb_mode_set instead of fastboot oem lock begin...

If some of the more experienced people here could check my steps for returning to stock, I'd really appreciate it. I have some questions and also want to confirm that I correctly understand how to do some of the others. Thanks. My XT-1575 is running 6.0 build number MPHS24-49-18-16. I would like...

Spencervb256, I think I understand you. Most of the custom ROMs, whether MM or N, use the stock radios released with MM. When Moto updated to N, they also changed the cellular radio, so the custom ROMs don't work properly unless they are updated to be compatible with it. So then, if I stay on...

Thanks again, Spencervb256. So you're saying that the Android version of my custom rom has to match the version of the stock rom that I'm coming from? No mixing marshmallow and nougat? Also, if I stay on marshmallow and want to return to stock and unroot, I wonder if I can just flash the...

Thanks, Spencervb256, for the recommendation and comments on Safetynet and security patches. Double thanks, ptn107, for the helpful recommendations and files. I really appreciate you sharing that info. If you'll continue to put up with my ignorance, do I correctly understand how to restore to...

xantanion, thanks for your post. I could argue with you about whether the phone was updated on a timely basis over the last 2 years, but I don't want to get into that right now. Good point about safetynet. If I'm going to go custom ROM, I'd like to be able to pass safetynet, whether by using...

After waiting over a year for the Nougat update (still nothing) and almost a year for a security patch (nothing since Dec 2016), and now knowing Moto will probably never patch the KRACK wpa2 bug, I'm officially done with Motorola and their carelessness with our security. My questions: I assume...

Thank you for trying to test MDM for me, I really appreciate that. I wish it had worked properly. I'm not asking about MDM because I'm still questioning the OTA availability. That has been answered. I'm asking because in the past, rooted phones wouldn't accept OTAs, so I'm trying to figure out...

Hi, stefan. Have you seen the charts here and here? You can select your desired features and at least get closer to an answer.

Has anyone used MDM?

Alternative to a Nexus 6P? Thanks a lot, Planterz! I see you are very active answering questions on this thread and I really appreciate that. A follow up to you or anyone else- is there any other phone that comes to mind? Thanks.

Any thoughts on this? Would a Motorola X Pure Edition fit the bill?

Has anyone had experience using Motorola Device Manager to load current updates or are they only available over the air?

Can anyone confirm they've gotten an OTA update without a SIM card installed or been able to load current updates with Motorola Device Manager?

I'm thinking about getting a Moto X Style just for use everywhere I have wifi coverage (I'd have no cellular service/carrier at all). Does anyone know if I will still get all of the security/OS updates or can they only come from a carrier? **Sorry, mods. Accidentally posted this thread twice**

I'm thinking about getting a Moto X Style just for use everywhere I have wifi coverage (I'd have no cellular service/carrier at all). Does anyone know if I will still get all of the security/OS updates or can they only come from a carrier?

Alternative to a Nexus 6P? Any suggestions for a 6P alternative? I want a phone that is unlocked, easy to root, and will get quick security and OS updates. But I'd like a smaller phone, an easier to replace battery, and more than 64GB of storage without paying $650 for the 128GB 6P.

All of the S4s with locked bootloaders, including NJ5, are rooted by using Odin to load the NB1 firmware and going from there. The threads referenced above explain how to do this.

Sure thing. I'm not an expert, just a beginner, but I have learned a few things along the way. The NI1 bootloader is locked so you will need to follow the instructions for using Odin under the first post shown above by creepyncrawly (here). Also, read this one. Also, this. As long as you are 1)...

Hi, Tmtd78. The S4 is getting pretty old now so this forum is pretty quiet. What version of android does your phone have? Under *Settings*, *About device*, what are the last 3 characters under *Build number*? I think every version of android on this phone can be rooted, but you will have to...

Thanks, AxlxA I can probably handle flashing loki, but you're right, I did ask for simplest. I was originally going to use the muniz's stock OC3 (MDL). How does GE compare to that? I saw the kernel he used can cause problems with the audio. That's the kind of stuff I'd like to avoid.

Just wondering if anyone here can give a noob some advice. I just got a used S4 and it still has the MDL bootloader (4.2.2)so I need to update the ROM. It looks like Goldeneye is the ROM with the most traffic here in the development section. I've also considered loading FLTE-GPE 5.1 or the stock...

StuC6, why don't you make a nandroid backup and then test it out?

OK. Thanks for reporting back.

For anyone else using the AT&T S4 (i337), the patch here has been confirmed to work by mugsy77, at least on the Goldeneye ROM.

Awesome- you've already tested it out for me! Thanks! There aren't too many of us here still on the s4. Can I send you a PM? I sent you a friend request...

Thanks a lot!

Just a few of us dinosaurs left, I guess. Since I'm sure you know more about this than me, would you care to comment on whether you think the patch here would work on my i337 since this one was designed for the Rogers i337M? That one includes the newer patch. Sorry for trying to drag you back...

mr_horsepower: Did you successfully apply that patch to your i337 and the detector came up clean for CVE-2015-6602? I was unsure if it could be used for the i337 because it specifically says it is for the (Rogers/Canadian) i337M. Don't want to mess anything up.

Anyone know if the latest CVE-2015-6602 vulnerability has been patched yet for the US AT&T S4 (i337)? churapa?

Will this patch work on the US AT&T S4 (i337, not i337M)? Any idea, cantenna?

I got a surprise- I bought a used S4 and when I checked it, found out it has 4.2.2, MDL- one of the rare ones that was never updated and still has the unlocked bootloader! So all of the work I've been doing was somewhat off target. Now I guess I need to root 4.2.2 and flash a custom rom to get...

I found the version of towelroot v3 that doesn't need internet access. It is referenced here in the first post. File here creepyncrawly or anyone else who knows: Is is OK to use this version to root instead of the normal version of towelroot 3 that needs internet access?

I'm making more progress on your thread- I'm up to page 20 now and feeling much more comfortable as I see how to deal with (or hopefully avoid) other's problems. I think I'm almost ready to go, but I know I have one more question- I know that some versions of towelroot need internet access, but...
