[HELP THREAD] Moto X Ask any question

[jjl468]

Hi, I recently lost the ability to use mobile data immediately after doing a factory reset. I'm running an XT1053 (T-Mobile) Moto X on 5.1. I didn't take the OTA and instead flashed a leaked .zip, but this was a while ago and mobile data had worked fine before the reset and there are currently no updates available. The build number is LPA23.12-15. I am rooted with Xposed and I did the reset via TWRP with default wipe settings (data, cache, and dalvik if I remember correctly). I have already tried disabling all xposed modules, removing and re-inserting the SIM card, and have checked that the APNs were correct. I can still text and make calls fine but MMS and mobile data are not functioning correctly. What's weird is that with WiFi enabled and connected, the 4G LTE logo appears in the statusbar and by the mobile card in quicksettings, but as soon as I disconnect WiFi, it disappears and an exclamation mark is put next to the data signal. I'm considering another factory reset but would just like to see if there was an easier option before doing so.

Also, it seems that something is randomly using up my camera (both front and back, more often back) every now and then. Basically, I can't access my camera through any app and I'm not really sure why. This was the original reason for the reset but the issue is persisting. This happens about once a day and is usually fixed with a reboot (sometimes the rear camera remains unavailable) but persists after closing all recent apps. Is there a way I can track which app(s) are using my camera to try and solve the issue or is it likely a hardware problem?

Thanks!

I tried doing another factory reset through TWRP and the issue with no mobile data persists. I also have taken my phone to a T-Mobile store where they verified my APN settings for me and switched out my SIM card, which unfortunately also did not work. I'm now considering re-flashing the modem and only the modem from the 5.1 .zip or just doing a full reset through TWRP (deleting everything instead of just data, cache, and dalvik cache). Any thoughts/suggestions?

Edit: Full factory reset solved the issue. Fun fact: I somehow deleted Android in the process. Sometimes I wonder why I'm allowed to even own a smartphone.

i got a Moto X on 4.4.4 now and it wants to update to 5.1 lollipop

Will I lose my apps or data?

I know google backups the contacts and stuff, but how about my Family Farm Seaside game?

Thank You

If you are stock and no custom recovery, an ota should install without changing any apps or data. But sometimes things can go wrong, a backup is never a bad idea. :good:

If you are not rooted, I hear Helium will work. Never tried it myself, I use Titanium Backup, but it requires root.

 

[BigFuzzyArchon]

I am on stock, not rooted

I will try out helium I guess.

Again though, taking an OTA should not wipe anything normally.

Invalid CID

I've reading xda for a lot of time but never really had the need to sign in until now.

I never actually updated my Moto X and messed around 4.2.2, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Until Today.
Flashed back to stock and then disaster happened when i took Camera Update OTA "To see what happens" and getting to 4.4.4 was the objective.

Downloaded it, and when the progress bar was at almost 80% screen went black. After 5 minutes i started to freak out because i was just waiting for it to restart itself but it didn't.

Afterwards, Moto X didn't boot at all.
I looked for a while and found this thread-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

Followed all the steps and voila, i was back into fastboot and tought it would be easy from there...
My previously unlocked bootloader was locked again and whenever i tried to flash part of my 4.2.2 stock android (ClaroChile_XT1058_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-26-25_cid12_CFC_1FF_svc.xml) everything would fail.

I'm stuck at fastboot. What can i do?
Thanks in advance.

@Sebastian_FM,

You bricked because you DOWNGRADED and then tried to take an update. (see the WARNING about GPT.BIN/Motoboot.img in my signature)

because of the state your phone is in.. I would ask, what bootloader version does your phone say it has?

Next, If your bootloader is 30.B7 or lower, visit -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-tip-web-sites-official-leaked-roms-t2923347 for info and links to sites that keep the SBF/FXZ files, and locate/download the 4.4.4 SBF for your Carrier and Model... Once you have the SBF, flash by utilizing the Requirements Section, and Option 5 from -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61142892&postcount=2 During that process, I would consider erasing User Data... so just before the final reboot command, issue... mfastboot erase userdata

And DO NOT try to flash the 4.2.2 SBF you have.

I have a moto x Android 4.4.4 and had unlocked bootloader and root, but I wanted to upgrade to 5.1, I used a custom stock and did the update installation, except I lost root, and now I I want to root for on my moto x 2013 5.1 again, what do I do? or rather, how do? PS.: I'm Brazilian

Flash a custom recovery then flash SuperSU.

 

[Igorfm7]

@KidJoe

Just wanted to thank you and tell you everything went well.
My bootloader was 30.B4
Found the right SBF on the threads you gave me and the flashing process went as smooth as it can be.
I somehow forgot i was on 4.4.2 before i flashed back to 4.2.2 stock and as you say, that triggered the problem.

Thanks again!

baseband update

Hi,to
I'm on AT&T using an XT-1053. I was on stock 4.4.3, unlocked and rooted, so I used Eclipse to update to 4.4.4 rather than revert to complete stock and take the OTA. Just flashed the 5.1 .zip for the 1053 and all is well, except some intermittent wifi issues. I checked and I'm still on the 4.4.3 baseband. Apparently, bypassing OTA's skips updating the baseband.

How do I update just the modem?
