[Q] Major device confusion and ROM installing :s - Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own a moto g XT1072 which I bought in the uk a few weeks back. Its a 4g single sim version. When I try to install cm12.1 thea it tells me my device is a titan. When I try to install a cm12.1 Titian it tells me I have the wrong boot loader. It is majorly confusing me as I don't k ow if I have the wrong boot loader, how to find my updated bootloader to flash, or if it is even the boot loader at all or if I have the wrong recovery? To be honest I'm not sure if I have a titan or a thea as different things tell me different devices. Any help would be awesome as all I want to do is flash cm12.1 but its proving to be a difficult task
Cheers

Sounds to me like you have TWRP for Titan and not Thea. You want this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-touch-recovery-t3088800

it seem that this is not working for now. I flash TWRP 2.7.0.0 m7 version and system can't boot. Go back to the TWRP 2.7.0.8 m7vzw for now and waiting for updates.

You can't flash a bootloader that is not intended for your phone variant, you will brick it. But wait, you are talking about TWRP which is not the bootloader, its the recovery. You can't neither flash a recovery that is not intended for your phone variant!! Recovery and bootloader version have absolutely nothing to do with the message you got about your sim card.

Stop flashing things that are not intended for your M7VZW !!! You will end up messing your partitions. Go read the forums or ask here before doing thing you don't understand.
There also a specific forum for the Verizon Htc one here, you could probably find more precise information for your phone variant.

You are right, my mistake - I mean recovery flash
I was using HTC HD2 on several androids builds before so I get to use with partition mess
All I neet is to get rid of verizon from my toy. Do you think that flashing fimware, radio etc could help ? Something like described here for m7vzw phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621 but for m7.

[Q] How do I go back from titan to thea?

Hello XDA members,
First of all, I want you to know my situation:
I had my phone bricked a few weeks after rooting it, so I searched until I found an unbricking method. Although I managed to unbrick my XT1072 Thea, I installed an XT1068 Titan firmware in it, and I wasnt able to change it back
I want to know if there is any way to go back to XT1072 Thea, once I have changed it to XT1068 Titan (I think this should be doable, because I was able to go from Thea to Titan, so there must be a way to go from Titan to Thea).
Thanks for your atention, and I hope you know how to help me
wipe and Install thea firmware?

Getting Marshmallow on unlocked XT1096

I unlocked the bootloader on my XT1096 (verizon) Moto X 2014. Currently running stock 5.1 ROM.
What's the best way to get Marshmallow on? Can I use a ROM from another model? Do I need to flash a recovery? Thanks.

The only way to get Marshmallow on a verizon would be with a custom rom that supports CDMA. I know that CM13 supporta CDMA so that one would work.
And while yes you could flash the rom from another model like the xt1095, it would lose verizon signal since the other models are GSM instead of CDMA.

tomas1pit said in the bootloader unlock thread:
"if u want to convert your device dont forget about NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. That is modem files. U should take them from official 5.1 image for xt1097 otherwise your network wont work"
Would I be able to flash the XT1095 stock MM image and then copy those files over, retaining Verizon signal?

tomas1pit is incorrect, if you look in other threads of people that have unlocked bootloaders with verizon, they lose signal completely if they convert to another model. He does not realize that xt1096 is CDMA, the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn apply to GSM.
You can still get signal if you change to another model, but only if you put a sim chip in your phone for AT&T, T-Mobile, etc since those companies are GSM. The problem is that switching firmware makes it incompatible with verizon.
If you plan to stay with verizon, custom roms are your only choice. If you change to a GSM company then you can use the stock firmware from another model.

Roger. Thanks.
It took a few tries to get TWRP on... I had to use crpalmer's custom version, the regular version didn't work. I'll hunt around for a custom ROM. If anyone has any suggestions (as close to stock Android as possible) I'd appreciate it.

No problem. Your best bet would be to read the custom rom threads and see if any say they support cdma. Or post in the thread to ask the developer if it does.
The only one I know for sure works with verizon is CM13, since I have read that some verizon users have tried it and it worked for them. I assume that roms that are based off CM might work, but you know what they say about assuming... Anyway good luck finding a rom you like.

I unlocked the bootloader on Verizon xt1096 Android 5.1, installed latest twrp recovery and installed SuperSU and am rooted. Woot. Twrp is super useful! I'd just be careful with what you're flashing of course.
I couldn't get official TWRP to work, but this custom version worked for me:

After I installed TWRP, I just flashed SuperSU and got root.

I haven't had time yet.
Same situation. Just recently unlocked the bootloader on my XT1096 (Verizon Moto X 2). Trying to figure out how to get to Marshmallow (stock or rooted) but with Verizon radios. Can't seem to find XT1096/Verizon radios in a flashable zip.

So yeah @jonnythan if you want to help me unbrick my phone...
If there's anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to. There's probably not much I can do, though.

Just a little humor. I have reached out to KidJoe here for some help. I also reached out to MotoCare and they are sending me a new MotoX (for me to tinker with some more).
I would suggest that we need to find a way to get the XT1096 to XT1095, while keeping factory bootloader to accept future OTAs. The VZW radios are out there, just will need to flash them via ADB if/when new OTAs come though.
So for right now, no other custom rom will work with the xt1096 unless somebody makes it specifically or customizes a different rom to suit it right?
CM13 and derived ROMS should work. There are other non-Marshmallow ROMs, I think.

Where did you get this? All the official TWRP builds throw a mismatched partition size error and won't install.
If I understand correctly, if I'm not using the phone on Verizon I can install any ROM?
crpalmer posted it in the CM12 thread.
I was able to get the latest TWRP installed. Took a few attempts.
i flashed mine with twrp it said the same thing when i fastbbot flashed it but it worked i just booted in recovery any ways and it worked

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL GODS HELP ME, PLEEEASE (flashed wrong bootloader)

Hello guys, i have one Motorola XT1078 (4G LTE) Thea and i think that maybe i have flashed a wrong bootloader.
Because my bootloader is 4822 but when i try flash any thea rom it says "this device is titan" - and when i try flash any titan rom it says "this bootloader is 4822" and the rom is compatible with 4882 or higher... i do not know what do and i have no idea where i can download the right bootloader, im stuck in stock rom and the only problem that i have is the non compatible bootloader. (i'm using problably a titan TWRP i think) anway, i really needs the correct archives
please, HELP ASAP :crying::crying::crying::crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

New user d415

Hi guys I got this old lg d415 from my cousin and Wana install some roms on it since I'm a noob on this device I need some help regarding what to do unlock bootloader or what .... I see that d415 has a unlocked bootloader or no ?
Its bootloader is already unlocked just root and flash twrp. kingroot to root and flashify to flash the recovery seem easiest. *Just make sure to update to LP beforehand. here's a link for recovery. You may be able to get a more updated version of the recovery off the twrp site. Also I suggest using the most recent lineage build. lineage

Ypu wrong you have to unlock before flashing unless you are planning on bricking your device. You first have to root it and then flash laf with zeros u lock bootlosder, flash recocery , thenflash rom
Please don't tell people stuff you don't know about. The T-Mobile variant comes with its bootloader already unlocked. Also there is no laf to mess with.
