Chance to Android One - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Hello
I have a question. Is it possible migrate to Android One? I read there is Moto X4 Fi version using Android One, so I don't if it is possible to change the rom on "normal" version
Is it a good idea? Yes, why? No way? XD
Thank you

It's possible without unlocking bootloader, I did that on my Moto X4 XT1900-6.

I used this image: PAYTON_FI_OPW27.57-25-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Download this file and extract both image and adb to the same folder.
Install Motorola Device Manager.
Now, boot your phone into fastboot, just turn it off and press volume down + power, connect the USB cable and execute the script.
The image are already on Oreo, the script contains instructions to erase userdata, even so, do a hard reset after flashing the phone.
Worked fine here, but do at your own risk.

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind.. Unless it has some interesting ROMs I think I'll keep it stock.. I hope Oreo will come soon here for the europe variant

Doing this I unlock the BL? I'll receive OTA?

No, the bootloader remain locked, probably you'll recebe updates, I'm waiting january patch to see.

Thanks for your contribution.
I just flashed this on my European XT1900-7 and it is working ok.
Although, unfortunately IMS-Services such as VoLTE and VoWiFi (WiFi-Calling) are disabled in this Project-Fi ROM
They are unchecked when opening test menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer.
Anybody has a clue on how to get this working?

Hi, I didn't received any ota updates, I think it's because of the software channel, mine is retbr.

What are the advantages of Android One?
How is the battery life?
The only thing I could find is the AntuTu score, more than 85k points.
That's a huge improvement...

*MULTI-TOOL**UPDATED* 11-12-14 Moto X 2014 (XT1095) Pure Edition Multi-Tool

Tool has been updated and is now a Multi-Tool. See below for added options.
---------------------------------------------------
*****Tool updated 11-12-2014 to V-4.1 - All images and modem have been updated to stock unrooted from motorolas firmware release for the xt1095 for both full wipe and no wipe options. Also added option to install Lollipop OTA update (thanks graffixnyc)********
ROOT option for 5.0 has been added. (Chainfire is a god among men)
Perm TWRP install for 5.0 option is also added.
I made this for my own personal use , but figured I'd share. I take no credit for the recovery images in this tool. I just put everything together in a simple tool. This is a simple one click recovery flasher and also a means to gain root. The tool will push the SuperSU update zip to your phones internal storage. You can then flash the TWRP (thanks Dees_Troy). After twrp is flashed the tool will then reboot you into recovery so you can flash the SU.zip to gain root. If you choose, you can then flash the stock recovery.
For L root you must have updated to L and must have USB debugging enabled. Phone will reboot to boot loader and then boot chainfires custom boot.img.
*****"Please be intelligent and only use this if you have a Pure Edition Moto X 2014 (XT1095) and have already unlocked your bootloader. I assume no responsibility if you cant read or follow instructions.*****
Use this tool at your own peril. I have tested numerous times and have had no issues. Hope this makes someone's life easier.
Have a nice day!
Instructions: download and unzip file on desktop (sorry windows only). Open tool folder and click RUN_ME.bat. Its ugly but it works great.
*** Confirmed working on XT1092 and XT1097 unbranded variants for root***
If your boot loader does not unlock do not use this tool.
Note- if you use full restore with these variants it will flash XT1095 firmware.. Do so at your own risk

Also buy some beers for graffixnyc and chainfire for all that they do
hi mate,
can I use on my moto X european version ? (XT 1092) I've just unlocked bootloader ...
Does your build match build listed above? If it does maybe. Only tested on xt1095
My Build is KXE21.187-30.3.

Thank you so much for the hard work. Quick question though, with root can we unlock the software restrictions and have the XT1095 support the 3 new bands Moto announced it would support with an OTA? They taking forever to release even the date the update would be released on could we get a jump on them and unlock LTE bands that are locked via software restrictions?

That's something I haven't even considered. The current bands work fine for my service. I returned to stock recovery and will wait for update. If I have the time I'll look into it though

hi,
my phone is sim free and operator is TIM (italy) in italy no motomaker ...
only germany, france, UK and Netherlands
First off, thanks for the tool. Its awesome to see stuff like this already coming out for the phone.
So, Step 1 worked, Step 2 failed for me. Error "fastboot reason: last time flash failure". To get it back working I ran the third option manually.
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot reboot
Am I missing something?

When rebooting into fastboot, give it 30 seconds to a minute to allow fastboot drivers to properly install before hitting enter. I've run approx. 13 devices and have never seen any errors.
Just got my moto x, I havethe same problem as the guy above.
Like I said when phone reboots to boot loader give it time for the fastboot drivers install before hitting enter. Should solve your problems. If it doesn't try deleting and redownloading package.

[Q] Is it possible to roll back to 5.0 from 5.1? XT1096

I'm hating 5.1.. Might be a one off case on my phone but it is simply way too buggy and the battery life is awful compared to what I had going on my rooted 5.0
Like the thread title says, does anyone know if it's doable to get back to 5.0 so I can get back a rooted/stable phone?
Try a cache clearing first, that usually helps with those kind of issues.

If your bootloader is unlocked just flash the system.img and boot.img files from 5.0 or 444 through mfastboot. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING ELSE

I am also wondering if it is possible to flash back. Are you saying you have flashed system.img and boot.img and were able to? Wouldnt flashing boot.img give you the old bootloader and possibly brick?

boot.img is not the bootloader. It is the kernel and the ramdisk.

Thank you for the clarification. I took the OTA, like a doof. Do you think its possible to flash back by flashing system and boot for 5.0 with fastboot and the rooted 5.0 with mofo? Will 5.0 boot on the new 5.1 bootloader and partition table?
Woke up this morning to a plugged in phone @92% and scorching hot. Thanks 5.1

You definitely cannot flash using mofo if you upgraded your bootloader to 5.1. Your copy of Mofo was specific not only for your device, but for 4.4.4 and 5.0 or 5.0.2 bootloader depending on your device. I put all of that in the noob guide.

I was on mofo 5.0.2 (?) then flashed the stock 5.0 then the 5.1 update that's floating around here somewhere. are you saying that it might be possible to get back to mofo 5.0? since i didn't take OTA?! that would be amazing.

What verison of the bootloader are you running - 60.11, 60.14 or 60.16?
I am on 60.16, and so bummed. I am guessing it is safe to try with normal fastboot to just try flashing system.img from stock 5.0 worst that could happen is I get a failed message or have to reflash 5.1 stock. I wonder if fastboot will allow me to flash system.img of an older version. I'm willing to take one for the team if someone can confirm the safest route to try, obviously not flashing gpt motoboot or anything else I read.

I hate being the idiot example. I knew better than to flash 5.1 ota. I had just gotten zAnti and cSploit working with iptables and arp poisoning too. If anyone is curious, find all the com.zAnti and com.cSploit folders and make them all 777.

MoFo won't work on the 60.16 or 60.14 bootloaders. With 60.14, which was the 5.1 soak test bootloader, people have reported being able to downgrade back to 60.11 bootloader, but not with the 60.16.

IME you can flash stock, signed earlier system.img using mfastboot no problem. But you may need to flash the 5.0 boot.img and radios, too. If you have the system in sparsechunks you can use regular fastboot.

I had started a thread about plans for the update back in May to discuss these issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/xt0196-rooted-mofo-plans-5-1-update-t3107088
Is it a safe strategy to root by rolling back everything except the partition table (gpt.bin) and bootloader(motoboot.bin) from a stock 5.0 image via fastboot like normal, and then use kingroot to root 5.0, install sunshine and bob is your uncle? I have been unsuccessful at rooting 5.1 even after trying the UAF vulnerabilities recently. Will 5.0 boot on the 60.16 bootloader?

What's the difference between locked and unlocked bootloader?
You can do more stuff with an unlocked boot loader like rooting your device. Warranty will be void though that's why some prefer to lock it again before they take it to a service center
Thank you for tutorial. I have two questions. If I relock phone, will the warranty be valid? Will I be able to receive OTA updates with relocked bootloader?

1. If you rooted device- make full unroot! - I unrooted using superuser app "full unroot"
2. If you have TWRP remove it and reverse to original recovery!!! Done
3. Downgrade to C432B052 (Dual SIM / Europe) - Where can i download this old Version?
4. Install last original firmware via OTA update!!! (In my case is C432B170 (Europe)
5. Connect device on PC
Just found C432B052 in your blog - so next try now.

Android Oreo update method

To update to Oreo can i use this method ? https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p10-b360-oreo-firmware-update/
Or is it better to wait for OTA or FF approval ? Thanks
You can use HWOTA for updating. Here's a tutorial for older firmwares, but you can also use the firmware files for Oreo. Download from here.

Do i need unlocked bootloader for HWOTA update ?
Well, I tried it on a VTR-L29C432B180 (downloading the 3 files for Oreo, renaming them, using the update.bat with unlocked bootloader and all the steps) and ended up in eRecovery. Then I could restart the phone and it booted up, but it was the same version (B180).
Any ideas?
If you are updating from Oreo beta to Oreo, you can follow the guide that I wrote earlier: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-upgrading-versions-emui-8-p10-to-t3748844

Well, I tried it on a VTR-L29C432B180 (downloading the 3 files for Oreo, renaming them, using the update.bat with unlocked bootloader and all the steps) and ended up in eRecovery. Then I could restart the phone and it booted up, but it was the same version (B180).
Any ideas?

Did you let eRecovery do its job? HWOTA pushes the three update files to the phone, installs eRecovery and then provide commands, which tell eRecovery to install these three update files. So, if you did everything right, then eRecovery will install the update, don't cancel it.
If you need further help, contact me via PM.
When we found a solution we'll post it here for the public but for working on a problem it's better to chat directly.
@madoxx77 If your bootloader is locked, HWOTA will ask you to unlock it with the unlock code. Without unlocked bootloader it's not possible.

What about if we are coming from Nougat/Emui 5.1?
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

I don't know why my other reply appeared first to me after the post I'm quoting. Now I see this reply to my first post...
Nevertheless. I did it with the script. When it finished and asked me to hit Enter so the device would reboot, it entered erecovery and only got that screen where it wants to reinstall the original firmware and gives you the option to download it via Wifi. It failed to download it. And then, after a couple of tries, it booted up in Nougat (the same version I was running).
What step do you think went wrong? I used Same Brand Update or whatever it is called.
Cheers.

It seems that the recovery img files you flash with HWOTA are wrong. Please be sure to use these files.
The original recovery has an online check and doesn't allow scripts.

OTA 9.0 Update RET EU

Did someone in the RETEU Channel allready have this ?
I dont see it on lolinet.
Also. Is it possible that i flash a RETUS or DTEU image towards my phone ? Do i still get the RET EU updates or does it not matter?
Kind regards and thanks !
You won't be able to flash the boot.img from RETUS or the international version and you won't get OTA updates if you have an unlocked bootloader.
If it's not in the firmware list yet, the update likely isn't out yet. I'm using a German Moto G6 with the ALI_RETAIL_9.0_PPS29.55-24_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC firmware and it works really well.
@HeavyHDx Idid the same, but my device got the reteu PIE upgrade today.

Did you end up getting the update? Sadly the firmware isn't on lolinet yet (the hell kind of name is that anyway?)
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETEU/
Downgrading to 8.0 and locking the bootloader won't work since even an unlocked bootloader won't allow you to install older versions. I'm not sure if you can actually get OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader.
Does anyone have the OTA package? It's still nowhere to be found and Motorola support can't provide me with the firmware file unfortunately.

Ok so this is disappointing, I'm still getting "(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key" on boot.img even though this is definitely the right version for my phone (XT1925-5 RETEU). Any ideas? I've tried literally every boot.img that's available from that site and none worked. I want to relock my bootloader to give the phone to someone else who needs updates to work.

You can relock it; it's a little complicated though.
Care to elaborate?

Bad key is normal. It doesn't mean anything is wrong, it just means your bootloader is unlocked. You can also take OTAs with an unlocked bootloader. The bootloader and gpt.bin refusing to flash is also normal. Bootloader's don't allow downgrades, so it keeps the most recent one. You can skip it if that happens. Just flash everything else in order. You can also downgrade. However, if you flash a firmware that's too old, sometimes the radio or touchscreen won't work. If that happens, just flash a more recent firmware. (Ex. Instead of using the first Oreo firmware, use the latest Oreo release.)
And is relocking the bootloader possible at all?

It's possible, but I wouldn't recommend doing it. If one thing about the system is off, it'll lock you into read only mode, which will brick the phone. Not even stock firmware can flash in read only. I'm also uncertain of the exact commands to do it. I'd tell you how if I knew. Motorola has their own set of commands they like to use for it.
