I saw this posted earlier. I think the big question is does he release it and thus burn an exploit or does he wait for 4.3 in hopes that it is still there and thus provides a root option for 4.3 as well. I'm not sure which is my preference. The only thing I personally miss by not being rooted is the tethering, which I only use in emergency situations anyway, so its not crucial for me. However, it is nice to have freedom from the carrier release cycle if we get a way to flash roms without an unlocked bootloader.

you got any idea what was going on with the order in which he clicked on things in the about phone menu? was that part of the exploit or what? I couldn't tell if it was doing something or he was just showing you it was the OTA.

Just proving the version.
I would rather that he wait and see if the exploit is still available in 4.3. There's a way to go back to the first build from this update, so if you really need root that badly, you can always just do that. Once SafeStrap is ready, we'll probably see a zip of the update that can be flashed, so I find little reason for him to burn this flaw right now.

You can't. Jcase stated in another thread that the exploit he used wasn't practical for most users so he probably won't release it. Was more a proof of concept

Not sure if anybody ever tried that on a locked device, but I think it should work.
Anybody trying to update and having it say there isnt an update available?
I don't think it has been fully pushed out yet. I don't have it either.

You can pull down the notification and tap and hold. App info will pop up and click on it. At the bottom uncheck show notification. Notification should be gone until you check the box to show notification.

I hope not, that would mean there is a really bad security flaw. There is a fine way for rooting (unlocking the bootloader) no need for more.

Those who got the device with a locked bootloader knew what that would imply and what they are getting into.
Now you, with a locked bootloader, wish that there will be a big security flaw for all devices (also the unlockable) just so that you have an easy root? That is really selfish.

Dear Technaudio,
how does one go back to 4.1.2?
I really want to go back, these new updates are doing the Z no good as far as i know. The UI looks worse, the camera makes a chirping sound when started fast and now the battery drains like a moterh****er too.
One thing I keep hearing which does not make sense is what is this battery drain that everyone keeps complaining about, I have had no problems since updating to Kitkat. What is normally recommended when doing and upgrade like this is to do a factory reset when you flash so you start fresh, that's what I did and I have not had one issue. I would say to guess this next update to come won't fix the problems you are having or it will create new issues as each update does. When I flash this next update I will be wiping all user data and apps and starting again as that is the easiest way to make sure any new issues don't affect your phone. I get no lag no battery drain no Google server issues nothing my update that I have is the best update Sony has done to date. If you are having these issues factory reset your phone and I bet you 100% all your issues will be gone!!!

Flash a .FTF file using flashtool.
Search the forum (XZ forum) for 4.1.2 .FTF roms, flash your device and done.
Be careful tho because if you don't untick that you want to keep your files, you will lose everything on your memory (SD card not included I believe)

They do go, until they start again! Just like with the original Devices bug, you could reset and it will be gone until something triggers the same wake lock.

I'm currently on a custom rom at the moment, I've not tried with 4.4.2 yet, as it only got released for UK in the last few days, but it's worked for every ota update before. However, if you've changed anything in /system it will fail.
I will do it sometime soon as there's a few annoyances with this custom rom, as there always is, and I've never had any problems with stock and root by doing it this way.

What issues are those? I've seen very few reports of those types of issues with the 3rd gen. Obviously, those things happens to a small portion of users on almost every Android phone.
screen on time is decent, but could be better. I'd love to find a permissive kernel I could tweak...anyone up for it??
Im still running the release version firmware. Had night mode since release so i wonder apart from stagefright what the UK release will bring?
Does anyone have this as a flashable zip yet?

my personal experience with an 8gb model was a hot skillet in just 3 minutes on wifi or lte network plus doing some search i found a lot of users reporting the same issue so its not a very small percent it is a known issue maybe some users dont report it or dont care about it but it really gets hot. maybe some batchs maybe the 8gb model who knows!
every phone have small issues some related to hardware some related to software thats why i asked if the upgrade fix this one
but a phone that turns in to a hot skillet its not safe to use.

This OTA does not load itself if you have a custom recovery. To avail of this OTA the phone should have the STOCK recovery.
Unlocked bootloader does not matter, but being on STOCK recovery is must for the update to recognize the fingerprint and load the OTA.
After changing the custom recovery to STOCK recovery, phone is stuck at blank screen after the OTA update. Trying to figure out what to do.
Any suggestions?

Hi, thank you.
Which stock rom did you use from the link? There are two there for the xt1550. I guess the one with the 23.72-47_cid7(Newer Build) is the one?
If you could elaborate what you did it would help others.

US carriers seem to be much slower pushing out updates. Since they mostly use foreign support it makes little sense. I work for the same company as my carrier, but different division and word I have is they aren't pushing out the update for this phone because the phone isn't in their list of devices yet. BTW, I'd be curious if anyone actually knows someone that got the stagefright bug. You have as big a chance to get struck by lightning as you are in getting stagefright. Anything with Kit Kat or later makes it almost impossible for stagefright to replicate on their phone.

The Moto G 3rd gen is sold in the US fully unlocked with no carrier branding. So the carriers don't push out the updates. Motorola generally pushes their updates to India first but the US usually comes soon after.
It's been a long time and im just not sure. I tried to do the auto update for 6.0.1 but it brought me to recovery so i just rebooted.

You can't take an OTA if you have root and/or a custom recovery anyway. You need to remove root first. The best way to update if you're rooted is by flashing the factory images. I have detailed instructions in my guide:

If you stay stock it's all automated. If you keep root it only takes a few minutes to update. The choice is yours of course, just want to make sure you're fully informed. If you stay on 6.0 you're going to miss out on several security patches, and features too.
