I've been looking for ways to bypass the motoblur account check while changing sim cards without actually debluring (I don't yet want to risk the warranty). So far, I found this online, which actually looks like it's for the Atrix:
I thought this might come handy to work on Atrix phones right out of the box with no SIM, Bypassing the Motoblur registration right to the home screen rather quickly.
Step1 (Bypassing the "No SIM card/Emergency calls only"
-Power up the phone while holding "Volume Down" until "fastboot" appears in top of the screen.
-Use the "volume down" button to navigate through booting options until you see "Boot Android (No BP) then press "Volume Up".
-The phone will skip the "No SIM card/Emergency calls only" right to the Motorblur account setup screen.
Step2 (Byapssing the Motorblur account setup)
-Bring up the virtual keyboard by holding the "Menu" key at the language selection screen of the Motorblur account setup.
-Press the "?123" key followed by ALT then "e" two times in a row, Then type "bluroff" (without the quotations).
the following keys exactly in this order..
-?123
-ALT
-ABC
-e
-?123
-ALT
-ABC
-e
-b
-l
-u
-r
-o
-f
-f
-Motorblur account setup will shutoff and you will be taken to home screen.
Note: Doing this just once will disable the Motorblur account login in all future boots.

Do you guys know if this process works in the Defy and, if it does, if it's reversible in case I need to take it to RMA in the future? And is it for phones with the Motoblur account already created or just for new phones without a Motoblur account?
And, if it doesn't actually work for that, is there another way to skip that, simpler and easier to revert than debluring?
Thanks

No, this does NOT work on the Motorola MB525 Defy. The Defy does not have "ALT" keys.
Instead try: SYM key, ABC/123 key, E, SYM key, ABC/123 key, E, B, L, U, R, O, F, F then enter key.

Hi all,
Not sure it is a problem or not.
Each key in HD keyboard got 2 meanings (e.g. q/1, w/2, a/!, S/@, etc).
When I press the 'shift/CAPS' button, it will change to 'Shift' and I can type ONE large capital char.
If I press it twice, it will change to 'SHIFT/CAPS' and I can continue to type in large capital.
but how can I type ONE number without press '.,123' first?
'Shift' can just type ONE large capital char.
The number above the alphabet are for illustration only
Long press on the key will give you the number/symbol.
I believe you can find that kind of info in the manual.......
Haaa.......I just long press the Shift key......

Do you know what is the code of the "Back Hardware Key"?
I know that the code for long press "Send Key" is 40C6. I need it for short press of "Back Hardware Key".
Thank you in advance
Also looking for scan code, but long press
looking for win key code
AEButton Plus can tell you the codes of any key.
Once installed run it and add a new hardware key... you then press the key you want to add and it tells you the code.

Sorry, this doesn't work for the HD2's "Home" key. When you press this, it actually exits AEB. Wish there was a way to "trap" the scan code without it taking action on AEB.
So... does anyone know the scan code for the HD2's HOME button?
can't check it on hd2, but hd mini has:
HOME 0xC3
START 0x5B (windows logo)
BACK 0x5C
How do you emulate key press of "Talk" button?
Here is my situation. I've assigned the dialer (cprog.exe) to the talk button using the wonderful keyboard config app from the XDA forum. The reason for doing this was to prevent accidentally dialing the wrong person. For example, while reading an email or text, I may want to dial a person other than the sender of the email or the text. But pressing the talk button while an email/text is open results in automatically dialing the sender, which has put me in an awkward situation too many times. (Sometimes I wanted to call my colleague to talk about a dumb email my boss had just sent.)
Reassigning the talk button to the dialer, instead of "talk", has solved this problem but begot another problem. I can't use the voice recognition within google maps search. Google maps' voice search is initiated by the pressing of the talk button, but now, all it does is bringing up the dialer window.
How do I catch two birds with one stone?
You can try a mortscript to do it (you need mortscript for this to work). Assign the mortscript to a soft-button or something.
This should simulate the call button push:
Sendspecial(114)
Here's a list of some of the other codes for button pushes, just for posterity:
# 91: startmenu (on some devices it might be home button)
# 92: back key (not the backspace key but back key for closing applications which is available on some devices such as diamnd or blackstone)
# 93: menu key
#112: left softkey
#113: right softkey
#114: accept call (green button)
#115: hang up (red button)
#117: volume up
#118: volume down
#126: data disconnect
#127: toggle speaker
#133: devicelock
#223: power off
I'm not sure where I got this, but it was probably the giant mortscript accumulation thread. I'm assuming the 'accept call' key is basically what you want.
If you want to get more out of the button push, like have it do one thing with google maps active and other things with something else running, you can use something like the one below. I assign my ptt button to do multiple things. I mostly use it for page scrolling when I'm reading, and have different scripts for Barnes and Noble ereader, mobipocket (use it the most), and Ereader. When none of these are in use, it activates MSVC. This is the down script (have another for long-ptt that pushes up, and also opens the camera).
If (wndactive("BN eReader"))
Mousedown("BN eReader", 240, 420)
Mouseup("BN eReader", 240, 320)
elseif (procexists("mobibook.exe"))
Sendspecial(39)
elseif (procexists("ereader.exe"))
Sendspecial(39)
elseif (procexists("virtualmemory.exe"))
Sendspecial(39)
else
run("\Windows\voicecmd.exe")
endif
sleep(100)
Run("\Windows\Compact Heaps.lnk")

Hi,
today i have got my Zuk Z1 and it is a very nice phone, also got 2 OTAs.
Now i wonder if i can switch the position of the hardware buttons.
Currently left side is "menu key" and right side is "back key", i would like to have it the other way around.... Left side should be "back key".
So far i did not find and option for it.
The same here, I'd like to switch the buttons (or even decide what they launch), is that possible?

Hi,
I've just received my Zuk Z1 and I would like to switch the function of Hardware Buttons too.
Have you found out how?
Thanks
Hi, Same here! seems strange that the on screen nav is the right way round, but the hardware buttons are not!
Any help in getting this fixed greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
OP: COS or ZUK ROM?
If COS: Good at least they have it the way I like, but bad that they haven't added the ability to reverse the buttons (COS on OPO does)
If ZUK ROM: Gross, install COS.
I did this before in another phone running KitKat. I modified /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl.
You should probably change key 139 to BACK and key 158 to MENU.
Don't know if this works in Lollipop.

for this would need ROOT access.
Cos has it plus you can add buttons. I've activated the screen ones and use the expanded screen option to get rid of the top and bottom bar unless I need them
I'm also looking for a standard method to switch this two keys. At the moment I am using Gravity Box and the Xposed Framework [root]. It is the easiest way to map the keys. The back key on the left side is much easier to reach when you are holding the phone in the right hand.

2 OTA? Which Android version are you on? Was it just a security patch or a Android version update? Because from a long time I'm on Custom ROMs, so I don't have any idea on the official OTA updates...
So many people that regularly troll the popular android sites (droid-life, etc) may have seen the news about Moto dropping the ball on warranties. Well, to make it short - I paid for an advanced exchanged, received my new phone after some complaining for a long wait. They sent me a 64gig bamboo version instead of my basic white 32 version. SCORE!! Right?? No - I go to boot it up and I am getting the "this device has been reset. To continue - - - yada yada". Basically they did a factory reset after replacing a broken screen I suppose locking the phone in that anti theft mode.
Is there any type of rooting or flashing that I can do to bypass this? I really wanna keep this BETTER phone. They are asking me to send it back and they'll send me a new (32gb basic white) moto x pure.
thanks in advance

So wait they are demanding that you sent the phone back or just saying that if you want your old phone you should send this one back???
