Moto G 4G LTE

[Sleepy!]

Yes... A test build... Almost everything works... But to make external sdcard work you need to boot it from PC, using fastboot boot recovery.img command...

If you boot to recovery from phone you will get all the features too, but wouldn't be able to use external storage to make a backup, for example...

Here's the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/progress-twrp-2-7-1-0-source-t2807585

Thanks.

Doesn't look like it'll be stable anytime soon.

It is stable... There's only this external storage issue... But you can use internal for most functions...

XT1039 Root

I have everything working fine on XT1039. I flashed the latest supersu 2.01 through recovery. Maybe try this first? It's definitely not a gravitybox incompatibility (you did install the kk version right?) but an xposed error. I have installed 2.7experimental 1 and it works fine. Reinstall latest xposed and gravitybox kitkat edition after u have rooted again.

Vpnair - you've successfully rooted the XT1039 - can you share the route used to achieve this? did you use TWRP? I'm a bit nervous about jumping in (I also have the XT1039 variant) Simply looking for root and nothing else btw.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I can't run need for speed most wanted... If external SD card is inserted, it says it can't download game data... Shows 0MB of free space...Without external SD card inserted, the game installs and download files to internal memory, then the app force closes... Anyone having the same issue? Can anybody test it?

Thanks...

Pretty simple, and like rooting most other devices.

1. Make sure your phone isn't one with faulty microSD reader, since next step will void warranty
2. Unlock Your Bootloader - WARNING EVERYTHING WILL BE WIPED INCLUDING INTERNAL SD!
2. Follow all the steps. Instead of 'Install Android SDK' I use ADB Installer 1.3 since it has just what I need in a small package (C:/adb is default folder location). In addition you can download mfastboot and place it in this directory if you want an option to mfastboot (no difference for us right now).
3. Once device unlocked download the TWRP recovery for XT1032 and latest SuperSu
4. Copy Supersu to internal SD and Copy Recovery to adb folder (Rename to recovery.img)
5. Put phone on fastboot and go to adb folder on computer and Shift + right click --> open command window here and enter the command 'fastboot boot recovery.img' (NOT fastboot flash!!)
6. Install SuperSU on phone recovery and Reboot
7. You have Root! But no custom recovery. But Xposed + Gravity Box does most things.
8. To get rid of unlocked bootloader logo go to this thread and download a boot logo of your choice. Extract the logo.bin file from within zip file and go to fastboot and 'mfastboot flash logo logo.bin'
9. Reboot and Enjoy.

Same thing on mine. I think I read somewhere that it's how the external storage is labeled. NFS:MW looks for the data in a particular path and it doesn't find it where the Moto puts it.

Is there no return to "Locked" possible? - just curious?

You can relock bootloader but you don't get your warranty back. So really no point.

"Relock" is possible..and even easy to do with adb..but..Yes..your warranty will be void anyway..because a code is written to a unlocked device and then another to a "relocked" device..and this code is displayed in bootloader mode..

Battery drain test

Hi guys!

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/5a07d40ff2?page=7

Hi, I was wondering if it is the case too.
Following this methodology, I begin the test this night. I will edit the post with results.

Methodology per night based on if0rg0t's:
1. Keep GPS and WIFI off. Perform a set usage pattern, then keep phone on sleep all night.
2. Keep WIFI off. Perform the set usage pattern using GPS, then keep phone on sleep all night with GPS turned ON.
3. Keep WIFI off. Perform the set usage pattern using GPS, then keep phone on sleep all night with GPS turned OFF.

Device:
MotoG LTE xt1039 4.4.3 Stock noROOT
The GPS is used in "High accuracy" mode only.

Conclusion
It seems the MotoG LTE is also affected by an overconsomption if GPS is used even if disabled short time after.
Too bad, but if the phone is rebooted with GPS off then no more drain to declare unless you use GPS again.

Maybe the 4.4.4 or Android L will correct this werd issue ?

Has any XT1039 owner already received the 4.4.4 update?

You have to ask Motorola for the code. So they'll know you unlocked. There's nothing you can do about that.

So.... any hopes of developer support with this device? :/
