    [SIZE=+1]Q7: How to access bootloader?[/SIZE]
    - Via ADB :

    [SIZE=+1]Q11: Does rooting/unlocking your phone invalidate its warranty? (In EU)[/SIZE]
    In short: No. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.

    For Indian customers, The warranty is void if you unlock/root your device. Motorola also reserves the right to maintain the records of unlocked bootloader devices. So you may not even get the warranty by relocking the device

    [SIZE=+1]Q13: Lost IMEI ? : How to backup / restore PDS partition and why?[/SIZE]
    On Motorola devices the 'pds' partition contains information specific to your machine: IMEI, MAC address, serial number, etc. This partition can be lost by accidental format or over time due to filesystem corruption. If you have made a backup, there is a good chance you can bring your handset back to life.

    ==> PDS backup will help to restore lost IMEI. It is a situation when the phone reports that the IMEI is unknown. ; This works like a vaccine, apply before having issue with IMEI, after it will be too late !

    Instructions:
    **Root Required**

    Using ADB you can make a copy of the partition and move it to a safe place (Google Drive?):
    adb shell
    su
    dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.img​

    To restore in the event of corruption or loss:
    adb shell
    su
    dd if=/sdcard/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds​
    (assuming you've pushed pds.img to internal SDcard storage first)

    If for some reason this doesn't work, maybe your IMEI isn't destroyed but only not "readable" by system (file system issue? misread cluster reading frame ? no idea), in that case you may read the following story : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52648789

    some usefull lines of commands for any user wanting to know what's going on:

    requirements :
    • On Windows : install Moto E drivers and
    • On Linux : set your rules following that guide (3. Set up your system to detect your device.) : add to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules the following code
      Code: 
      #motoe normal mode
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTR{idProduct}==”2e82″, MODE="0666"
#motoe debug mode
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTR{idProduct}==”2e76″, MODE="0666"
#motoe fastboot mode
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTR{idProduct}==”2e80″, MODE="0666"
      For specific access by one group of users, add GROUP="[groupname]"

    ______________________________
    ______________________________
    ______________________________
    ​

    Let's start ! :
    • in terminal, just type the lines,
    • in ADB, add "adb" before the commands
    • if you want not to display the output in terminal, specify the path :
      Code: 
      command > /where_you_want_your_output_to_be_stored/name_you_want_for_the_log


    to know if KSM is really turned on : KSM means Kernel Samepage Merging, may not exist on Moto E stock or custom roms
    Code: 
    cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

    to know what modules are running :
    Code: 
    lsmod

    install an app from terminal :
    Code: 
    pm install /sdcard/app1.apk
    from adb :
    Code: 
    adb install /home/user/app1.apk
    (if your .apk is located there :p)

    your kernel crashed?
    Code: 
    cat /proc/last_kmsg
    ex : from adb, and stored in /home/user/last_kmsg1
    Code: 
    adb cat /proc/last_kmsg > /home/user/last_kmsg1

    an app crashed, you want to know why?
    Code: 
    logcat
    ex : from adb and stored in /home/user/myfirstlogever
    Code: 
    adb logcat > /home/user/myfirstlogever

    don't have an USB cable ?or adb "other the air" :
    connect to your home wifi network (both device and pc)
    in settings/dev options/ enable adb on TCP/IP
    Code: 
    adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
    (the IP is the one displayed in the option you choose previously :)
    and then, since it is connected, catch the log :
    Code: 
    adb logcat > /home/user/myfirstlogever

    All commands and syntax used for ADB can be found here
