Loop device support XT1095 - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, is there a way to flash a kernel with loop device support on the XT1095?
I've been googling and searching on this forum but can't find. Maybe my english for search is not the best?
Thank you.

Loop device support already works, no need to do anything special.

Hey, ty for replying. I tried Loop device check app and it says my device doesn't support it. I'm on official 6.0 on an XT1095.
Is there another way to check if my device supports it?

It does. I know it does, I use the loop device to mount and run a linux image on my phone.

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try then.
Mind sharing what linux have you tried on the phone and how did it go?

I have used debian a while back, currently I have arch linux on it. It went very well, I use VNC and SSH to connect to it, everything works great, I installed mate as my DE.

I'm having trouble to get the ssh and vnc services up. Did you come up with this problem too? I've found others having the same problem but no solution. Theres a solution that says I should reconfigure ENV on Linux Deploy settings but it didn't work.. I'm trying to set up Arch by the way.

I have no problems with them. Do they not start? Is there an error message? Before you installed did you select vnc and ssh in components to be installed?

You should have done a quick search first, or looked at the home page...
This is the link to the Jelly Bean (4.1.1/4.1.2) Root Method
Althought djrbliss never mentioned it was for AT&T's 4.1.1, it was assumed as it was Jelly Bean.
Just use an Ubuntu Live CD/USB, Boot/Virtual Box into it, and get the android-tools, and any other required packages...
So you obviously look that hard man.

If you have any spare USB Drives, there are easy windows programs to easily make a bootable USB... If needed, I could put up screenshots showing (visually) what to do to make the bootable drive and how to root.

If you are gonna use OTA update, your system must be unmodified : not rooted, not changing any system file (including boot logo), and using stock recovery.

[ROM][STOCK][LP 5.1]XT1095 flashable stock rom

I have created a stock rom of 5.1 lollipop that you can flash via custom recovery. The only modifications that I have made are to remove the motrola OTA service, that way there will be no bricks from people taking an OTA and it won't bother anyone about OTA update messages. The recovery flasher was removed to prevent it from overwriting the custom recovery.
I have uploaded a new version which has the stagefright patch(23.16.6). The old version is also still available as well.
Installation:
1) If you are coming from another rom, or a different version of android you must do a factory reset.
2) Install the zip file through TWRP/CWM/etc.
3) Enjoy.
Download 5.1 23.16.6

Just wanted to say awesome! Thanks and am running right now with absolutely no issues!!! Noticed it's funny little differences in the ROM, from the Brazilian version ex. Status bar, the H was huge in the Brazilian version, very small for the T-Mobile unlocked xt1095!
So I'm running rooted stock 5.0, I can just flash this and run with it?
Yes. Just remember that my rom only flashes the kernel and the systrm. Nothing else gets upgraded. So your modem, partions, and bootloader will still be the 5.0 ones.

It should work. It only flashes the kernel and system, so your radio stays the same which means you should have signal.

I'm coming from an5.1.1 AOSP rom. I did a factory reset then installed the zip. Everyone installed perfectly but when I try to set up my device it says that this device has been reset and I need to verify my Google account. Once I do this it has me accept the Motorola terms and then it asks me to verify my Google account again. I cannot advance from this step. Any thoughts?

Didn't get a chance to post in either shiffty thread before they were closed. Did anyone notice those screen shots shiffty put up there were 5.1 but I though "his exploit" was being worked on 4.4.4.
Maybe I missed something, but I did find that thread entertaining.
My poolman is. But not sure how successful he'll be since he's still using an LG flip phone.

There's something in the firmware making it hard to keep root
Sent from my XT1254
That would be WP dude. WP is why we can perm-root our phones thru the OS and is why it disappears after a reboot (Though you can just re-root using the same KingRoot app as before.) I'm sure you know WP means we can write/install the necessary SU binaries to the system. WP is part of the "firmware" you mentioned.

Just to put it out there - you can use a root app (after rooting your phone ofc) to set SELinux to Permissive so it doesn't keep forcing your phone to reboot. I'm testing it on my phone now. Again it will still disappear after reboot but still a temp work-around.

There's no question he wasn't anywhere near perm root like he initially stated (or unintentionally led people to believe-to me it doesn't matter at this point), but at least he is looking around. A lot of the devs on year old devices like ours and the note 4 have given up. I really hope he discovers something. Dmverity (which I think is still the culprit) is a tough nut to crack.
@jcase will eventually look at the issue, but apparently bootloader unlock is the most likely way around wp. To me that says that wp too hardened at this point and the bl is the better angle of attack. That is both good and very scary. My comments are based upon what jcase has stated recently.

To me temp-root is useless. I mean seriously, who wants to keep re-rooting and re-installing root apps after every reboot? I don't, that's for sure. Without write protection disabled you are going to be very limited in what you can do with any root method you use.
Oh, and I use AdGuard for blocking ads on my Droid Turbo. You don't need root for it to work and it works very well.
