Viper 4 Android working in xt1052?
i tried flashable zip on 3 different roms and 2 recovery. still drivers not installing. anyone here have it working on 5.1?
Boy, are you looking over my sholder?

Yes! I finally got it to work. I am on BlissPop 4.0.3, but I would hazard a guess that the flashable zip that worked for me, will work for all the CM based ROM's; a guess. I tried soOOoo many ways it drove me mad, but I finally got it working using the zip I linked in the post below.

Hay, ppl may call me crazy... But is there any way of putting the chrome tabs on recents apps (like LP) on my KK?
For me this is the only feature that I liked from LP...

Last month my Android 4.4.4 Moto X 1st Gen with only OTA updates received a "No mobile network available" prompt when trying to make/receive calls. This was right after an OTA update. 4G LTE Data worked (maybe all available bands can access data, I'm not entirely sure). I decided to upgrade to 5.1 using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-unlock-sim-flash-retail-lollipop-t3236783. I kept receiving the "No mobile network available" prompt. I mixed & matched network settings....GSM, 4G only, CMDA/4G, etc. No luck. I flashed back to stock 4.4.4 by manually flashing this file: ghost_sprint-user-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.28-28-release-keys-cid9.xml. That would be a clean sbf install? Well, as clean as a downgrade can be.

I am still green to the scene, but I managed to make it through the guides without bricking my phone. The "No mobile..." prompt still exists. The best I can come up with is that the OTA update last month bugged my antennae firmware. Would a clean OS install change all antennae firmware? Sprint tech reps are baffled by the prompt because they say "it seems fine on their end".

Current setup

Device is Moto X 1st Gen (xt1056)
android version is 4.4.4
system version is 212.144.2.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US
build nunber is KXA21 . 12-L1 .28.2
kernel version is 3. 4. 42-g6b785f7

Putting on my tin foil hat. This would be the perfect way to soft brick a customer's phone. Is there a thread on xda with other corporate paranoiders I could join :silly:

I have had endless problems with my network and GPS signals. I did buy a "broken" phone on the cheap from eBay. However, after flashing the modem and erasing the 2 partitions, the signal *appeared* to be fixed.

To cut a long story short, I have found that the signal is lost/flakey while it is being charged, and especially patchy if the phone gets hot (while charging and using). While cool and off charging, the signal is pretty solid. I have also downgraded back to KitKat (with Lollipop bootloader, from a custom ROM)

Let me know if its the same with your phone, it would be good to know its not just me. Mine is an XT1052.

Hi,
I clean flashed CM12.1 official and it was working, except the in call speaker. Somebody on another thread mentioned that I need to flash stock modem for it to work. So I downloaded the stock modem 5.1 and flashed it using `fastboot flash modem` and `fastboot flash fsg`. And now I'm stuck at bootloop. Any idea how to fix this?

If this was a stupid mistake, please do tell. I couldn't find any proper solution for the in-call speaker issue, which led me to this.

Flash the whole ROM.

I have tried to find where I could buy an XT1052 with 32GB or even 64GB. All the phones for sale appear to be the 16GB variant. Did anyone actually buy a 32GB or 64GB variant?

Long time lurker, I'm sort of shocked there are no posts on this issue - maybe it is unique to this phone... Basically, my SO's Moto X (2013) VZW (XT1060) has been having major wifi issues since the 5.1 update (222.26.7.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US).

The symptoms:
  • Exclamation mark by wifi symbol
  • Wifi disconnects (no symbol)
  • Switch to mobile data (and burn through our data plan!)

I have tried wiping wifi connections, restricting it to only 2.4ghz (our router doesn't use 5ghz), and most drastic of all, a factory reset. Unfortunately, the issues keep happening. I do not think it is our router, since our computers and my LG G3 (VS985) on 5.1.1 all run fine. Router is set to B/G/N, 20MHz, ch11.

Any ideas?

What's with the battery percentage being super inaccurate? Tells me 40%, I go to sleep, wake up and the phone is dead... every other phone I have had would be at like 27% at worst.

Since I updated to Lollipop via the OTA that became available for my Moto X (Europe), I get the extremely annoying "Android is starting... optimizing app xx of xxx" message every time I boot my phone. I believe it has been 7 months since I upgraded to Lollipop.

The message took 2 hours (!) and I have rebooted my phone MANY times because I read everywhere it should stop happening after a few reboots.

But now 7 months have passed and it is still happening. It does not take 2 hours anymore, but still 45-60min. And the number of apps has not dropped in a while (it used to be 236 apps, now for the last 3 months it is 106 apps).

I have never unlocked the bootloader, never rooted.

In all honesty the Lollipop update brought annoyances, reduced battery life, made it completely impossible to use Youtube and rebooting takes almost an hour. If this was in the update note of motorola I would of course never update.

Is there a way to solve this issue? I am done seeing this message and waiting for my phone to boot.

Hi guys,

I resently installed CM12.1-20151117 on my Moto X XT1052.
The reason I installed CM is that I got the "couldn't connect to camera" bug a lot. Unfortunately the bug is still there. I tried the restart camera apk with the cm camera fix app, renaming the DCIM folder, clearing the app data (camera and gallery) and multiple reboots as well as any combination of these fixes.
Sometimes one of the above solutions will work, but most of the time I end up with only the front camera working.

Does anyone have a working solution for this very annoying bug?
Thank you in advance!
