Every way people suggest will not work, as I need to reset the tablet before it boots (password is set) and I bought this off craigs
A bootloader solution is what I need..
Maybe I can just root and install a new rom? If so, what steps and what rom is the most stable? Thanks
did you ever get it to work, i have the same issue right now

I went to the manufacturer and downloaded the latest update and put it on a flash card- it updated it and erased everything- no password and no old user info - works great now
let me know if you need a link

Actually I would not mind the link. Also what keys did you have to press to get to the screen to do this? Thanks as I tried to goto the manufacture once and got nothing.

you just have to put the firmware update on the micro sd, in a subfolder in the instructions in the download it tells you which folder
you then just pull the battery and reboot- it sees the folder and updates it.
only issue is it originally thought I was in London but that was easily resolved .
just make sure you look under the battery for the right model information

Hmm, I went to the link and looked up my model and it says no downloads found. My typical luck.
Hello, didn't find such a question on the first five pages so I gave it a try.
So, when I try to update my device, strange error is coming "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way", but I didn't even root it! WTH? How can I solve it?

If you are using ART switch back to Dalvik and reboot.
Also it is possible it's the memory card doing (sounds silly but the Note 3 does it also) remove your Ext SD and reboot and check again.

I thought it was ART as well. Strange thing from Samsung. If it's originally supported why it cause problems?

ART Is still technically experimental, I guess it just modifies the apps etc and the OTA on the device doesn't take to kindly to be adjusted. - But yeah Samsung should inform people really that ART will block OTA and cause issues.
No success

Hello, I just bought a new motoactv.. But I now see, that because of the fact they shut down Motoact, I cant create an ID. and therefor I cant use the watch as it is. I could root it, but I dont think it will give me the functionality (advanced interval for running) as it can now.
so..is there anyone who can give me their login as they dont use Motoactv.com anymore?
Would be highly appreciated!!

Just register new account from your watch.

Yeah, but since the pc doesnt recougnise the watch as a USB storage device, and WIFI cant be installed, I never get to create an account. I now have the account details of the person where I bought it from, but I suppose I can as well throw it away, Motorola doesnt give support either.

Stop adbd shell in your watch.
Easiest way - via MotoACTV Root Tool from http://www.cleardroidroms.com/motoactv.php

Since the watch is not recougnised as storage device, I cant see it in explorer either. So I cant, unfortunality, root it either.

No, it then sais, add a new network with your pc.

Again. Disable adbd - then you will be able to connect Motoactv as a USB storage.

Looks like a custom firmware.
Go to Settings -> General -> Motoactv status -> Software version.
Post it here.

This is initial release or first maintenance version. A really old software.
Update your Motoactv to latest and root only after that.
Keep in mind that versions for 8Gb and 16Gb are different. Choose firmware only for your device.
OR
Install Motorola Device Manager from here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Plug in your Motoactv.
MDM has to check it and upgrade to latest (but I have no idea, will it be correct as I have never seen such old firmware like yours)
'Advanced functionality' won't be enabled with root.
Interval training can be enabled/planned via Motoactv portal.
So, upgrade your watch, add new wifi from settings -> wireless, then register new account, go to http://motoactv.com
Voila.

I already rooted it I think.
Problem is, when I run motorola device manager, it only says, no updates and at device it says "N/a"? So no clue how to get the latest software on it.

Uninstall Motorola Device Manager.
Install this version - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9ZhejL5ANmGQjdreG5jR3YybTg/edit
2.4.5 definitely had correct drivers.
Check that battery on your watch is fully charged.
MDM has to detect your Motoactv correctly, search for software and upgrade it,
If it won't - look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534073
3) Fastboot:
- Operating System: Windows/Linux/Mac
- Instructions (Windows): Unpack the zip, run flash-all.bat (if it fails, run as administrator)
- Instructions (Linux/Mac): Unpack the zip, run flash-all.sh (it should already have proper permissions)

Links are in the first post.
at the end, I got it working. Even wifi, although that was on ly a few times, since then I cant login anymore. I am about to sell the watch, as its realy bad in GPS for running (as it was bought as running watch), so I will just sell it as smart watch. But then I do need some apps installed on it. But when you install one app, its full, now trying to get it to install on the SD memory, but again.. not so easy!
I looked but could not find. How do you know that you have the "Balong bug". When I look at my system info, I find a Balong board mentioned but when i look at my TWRP backup it also says ...... Balong. So how can you find out ? noobie

Just check in the Update Section of your Settings. When you are not able to update from a local file then you have the Balong Bug.
Oh okay, I was just wondering if there is a way to check ?

If you go to settings about phone and it says
Balong c50b311 you got the bug
No, when I look at "about phone" it doesn't (it says C432B564), Balong is mentioned in Aida54 under "board" but when I look at the TWRP backup folder I have a folder with my serial and inside that a folder with date, hour and at the end BalongC52B311. That is why I was wondering about the bug. As you know I tried to copy the backup to my comp (to be on a safe side, since my Hi Suite backup doesn't work (it hangs on getting data).

What your phone says is the most important.
balong is sort off the name of our chipset and i shouldn't be to worried if it appears in your backups. it'sjust data and not system anyway so.

it doesn't matter what your backup says... it says "Balongxxxx" because of the board... it says similar in my backup too... what really matter is what does your build number say on Settings>>About Phone>>Build Number...
in your case, it says C432B564 then you dont have BalongBug...
P.S. i think "BalongBug" is good username... i've already used it in few of my accounts..

you can't update your device when you have it...

Not apps but the Android system.. You can't update via OTA, you must flash to other versions to update /upgrade

Installing now. Let ya know if any big changes, anybody check and see if there's a new hw package update as well to go with?
I dont think so...theme manager still now working... and after flashing,phone still say on c654b300
So...what do you think of new firmware ?...
Personnally,i often have to reboot phone so changes ,like in sound,notification can be changed...also when passing to wifi to data,i also have to shut down wifi then reboot so data will turn on..
Theme manager ,no way to make it work
Ive found theres almost no lag compared to previous firmware,changes have been made to lockscreen ( personnal infos in the middle instead of on top of image)...
When cleaning the phone via app,settings are always ****ed up and have to re do them like, to not shut down facebook/messenger to receive notifications well,after clean up,i have to re do all settings...
Dunno what huawei is trying to do but, There is always something not working.
Also,Aida64 says its a Release Key version...when looking in the Android tab...
Attached are some pics...the firmware is supposed to be C654B334 but shows C654B300...

Try this functionality update to get the Build number showing up as MLA-L03C654B334: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ers_ca/update_data_full_MLA-L03_rogers_ca.zip Install it using the three button method after extracting all the files and putting them in a dload folder and then putting that on your SD Card.
Hi...what will it do ?
Only change the build nuber or other things are included ?
Thanks

It should fix a couple of minor issues I am not sure what tho and yes the Build number too. When I on the CAN-L01C432B320 build for my phone and updated to CAN-L01C432B340 it was still showing up as CAN-L01C432B320 until I installed the smaller update for my phone.
Thanks...did the update...now 334...
Ill see if it did something
Heres a thing that really bugs me...
If i look into the update folders once extract,i can see some themes / pictures in ... C:\Users\portable\Documents\update_data_full_MLA-L03_rogers_ca\data\hw_init\version\region_comm\oversea
why is theme manager / magazine still dont / never works ?
and even after installing the update,i dont see the themes and magazine images... There must be something wrong somewhere.
Is Huawei/emui blocking the app intentionally and if so,why ??....Im just trying to understand things.
and most important thing is,when writing to Huawei,we never get real answer...always the same thing....''wait for next update''
also,in the changelog,it clearly says...
''5. If you are not satisfied with the new update, you can roll back to EMUI 4.1. Your personal data will be erased during the rollback.''
Nowhere in the phone's setting (ive searched everywhere) its mentioned a way to revert back to mm6...Also in the 2 or 3 button way it says revert back to mm6 ect.
Could someone give me the real apk name for the (nougat)Emui 5 theme manager apk please ?
My theme manager is there and shows any themes I DL and put in the theme dir. It's not a theme store just a manager. Is it not there at all, or not working properly?
Hi..
Whatever i do in theme manager,it wont work whe applying...
If i dload a emui5 then well when clicking on apply ,its supposed to apply the whole theme...even if i apply thing separately,it wont change at all.
