So I've had a Sprint Hero since it came out and love whats being done on it. I recently purchased a Samsung Moment, and there is some progress happening, but i'm not sure in which direction. We have root, and recovery mode that can apparently update via .zip from sd. I'm wondering why recovery mode is not being used at all for our updates? This is how we do it on the hero and its much more convenient. We have to use odin for the moment and am curious why. As far as I can tell there are only a small handful of people working on the device and are doing great but idk, it just seems different having to actually go back to flashing devices. Are there other android devices that need flashing when rooted? I really don't know what I'm asking here. Maybe just looking for a handout of some genius from xda? lol
look mate....there will be nonhtc forums over here in a short while,so i suggest you to go to "new forums on xda" thread in the about section and request moment to be added....or contact "svetius" via pm ..he leads the project
so when you get the forum,it will be a piece of cake to gather some people who could work on the moment...so i think that would be your best shot
Hello everyone. I must apologize if this thread does not belong her. I just desperately need help. I have posted a similar thread in another category but I think it didn't get much attention so I'll repost it here.
"I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software/app. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 2012 (now rooted via wugfresh's toolkit).
Thanks and more power! "

Sorry about that. I kindly request that this thread be moved there. Or should I re-post it there instead?
No do not repost. A Mod will move it soon enough.

Ok. Thanks...
So anybody with any help? :/
Guys, solved it.forced install the app and it just worked...anyway,thanks guys!:good:
I ended up bricking my phone trying to get a custom recovery on it and said screw it and got the Moto G 2015.
This is the US AT&T and it's running android lollipop 5.1. Right now it's stuck on bootloop more or less, when I boot it up AT&T says it detects unauthorized software and to take it to the nearest help center or whatever.
I'm wondering if anyone's interested in it for development purposes or whatever? I'm willing to give it away for the cost of shipping or if it's worth anything to you, you can feel free to offer payment for it i guess? It is a decent phone outside of all of AT&T's stupid bull****.
Hope this isn't against the rules to post or anything. I don't really care about trying to make money off this, it just seems like an awful waste of a perfectly good phone if someone with more know-how than me can easily fix it and maybe better the dev community for it.
Feel free to let me know

Hey man, just wondering if this offer is still on the table? I noticed you mentioned it was running 5.1... was that a custom ROM? Any idea if the bootloader is unlocked?

It is still on the table, the thing is just lying around. I made a mistake saying it was running 5.1 though, it HAD been running the latest version of cyanogenmod months ago but eventually I needed to return it to stock for something dumb and when I tried to switch back, I bricked it.
The phone was rooted and I'm PRETTY SURE I managed to unlock the bootloader, but it's possible I may have messed that up because I bricked it while trying to flash a custom recovery. The phone still boots into download mode so I figure someone crafty enough with a better ability to figure out what files are required could fix it with ODIN or something.
Good morning
if the offer is still available can you contact me at [email protected]

i have pulled the ota zip for this model but im not sure what to do with it so here you go to whoever knows what to do.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YuH9d4RlgrmwhTnb1iIpd4ONrYdrgELV.
This is just a patch. Not the complete firmware. Typically only the full firmware is shared here not just a patch. Entire firmware will be much larger then 72MB. You were able to locate the questions and answers forum but the rom forum is where this belongs. There is a thread in there with complete stock firmware downloads.

yea well im done caring. at least im trying my ass off to get the updated firmware for this specific model since no one else seems to give a damn about this device. this was my last ditch effort. i already switched to a z2 force so good luck to everyone on this. and ive already tried multiple times giving this device away to anyone thats a dev cause i intended on buying a new one but not one person wanted it so im just tossing it at this point. best of luck. if someone thinks they do something with this go for it.

I am on a G6+ so throw a fit if you want. We have a dev who will be getting a device soon and I myself am attempting to build los 15.1 to solve the 1 remaining bug we have on Oreo-based roms/GSIs.
That said, I'm glad you're trying to help the community but there is a right way and a wrong way. Generic no detailed information posts like this can be dangerous. Is this OTA1 is it OTA2 is it OTA3? What firmware version is this to upgrade from and to? I see the version in the file name when clicking the link to your G Drive, but that doesn't help users searching through XDA who might find this patch useful. I don't think a google search result that showed this post would convert the URL to the file name. So even google search wouldn't know what to make of your post. Is it a flashable zip or is it flashed via the bootloader with fastboot? In either case how does a n00b know how to do that? I forget the Boost Mobile variant is a Jeter not Aljeter to which there is not even a firmware posted for(although I believe the Aljeter firmware can be used anyways and gives you a more stock google experience I guess). I did not say take down the patch, it's worthless, etc. I did say it is not typical to share them here. If you truly want to help members provide the proper/necessary information. If you want to cry and whine, don't expect sympathy. Pack your bags, and move on to your new device. You could probably sell it and recover some investment by keeping in mind there is a market segment who cares nothing about custom roms and such and may like to buy the device.
i would def like to know who this dev is then cause the only one that was doing anything has already messaged me saying they dont want the device lol. the boost mobile variant has only had one update so i didnt bother saying anything beside ota zip for boost mobile because its the only one we have recieved for our device model if people cant read thats there problem. its frustration as all hell to have someone saying what your saying right now when there is like me and one other guy it seems trying our hardest for this device and everyone else is like "hey lets watch the jeter guys fail". i had planned on cleaning up the post when im not as pissed about owning a phone with so little support. if you have any friends or dev friends that have this model and would be kind enough to pull a better ota file for us PLEASE be my guest.

Contrary to what you said about no firmwares being around for the Boost Mobile variant of the G6 Play, but, there is firmware available for it, even though it uses the Sprint branded firmware the firmwares are still there for it, after use the phone will provision and activate itself for Boost Mobile per your account that's attached to it, here's a direct link to the firmwares for it: Sprint firmwares for JETER XT-1922-7, it even has the latest firmware for the last OTA patch we got for the November Security Patch Level

I'm calm, just sayin' lol, I think it's funny how people don't wanna wait on development on new devices, in my opinion if you can't wait don't buy the new device, if you buy it knowing that there's not any development available for it then don't complain, it'll just be ignored.

In no way do I consider myself a developer, as I am certified n00b status.
But after reading this thread, I've decided to accomplish a goal I've had in mind for a while, for which I have found very little documentation. If I am successful, I'll post a guide. I'm glad the people who know what they're doing can login to sites like this and give the little guys a fighting chance. Thanks!

Dude this post is old. Like a year old now. I've made the guide for decrypting and rooting and even reflashing stock firmware that I also keep updated. I highly advise you to read everything within the Moto g6 play forum to make sure your not basically gonna be copying me and or just gonna create another guide that will have no point in it actually being here because my guide already covers it.

You're being a ****, ****. I was literally thanking you guys, I acknowledged it was an od thread in the title. I thanked you, and the other handful of devs for helping out guys like me, who don't have all of the knowledge to develop themselves, or the money to buy a nicer phone with more support. Anyway I don't hold grudges and I still appreciate your contributions. I'm trying to update mine to Pie but can't find any official files to do so. Anyways ill figure it out, it's just that my moms pixel 2 just broke and we don't have the money to fix it just yet to im really trying to get my jeter ready for her because she needs the phone in order to work. But before all of this i was going to try and compile a custom kernel from scratch for the jeter, for use with the news Andrax Pentesting Framework so that I could finally experience airodump/wifite without external adapter. looks like its gonna have to wait. mom comes first. have a good night bro see ya around.:good:

If you wanna think I'm a **** for being honest with you and forward instead of sugarcoating stuff then go ahead. You said your making a guide. I simply said make sure it's not a guide that already been made because so far we have 5 threads about gsi's and other useless threads that have kinda cluttered this forum and or stuff that my guide covers because once again. There is already enough clutter on the forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-play/development/ota-moto-g6-play-aljeter-t3921877. To answer your question after being a called a **** that's what your looking for. You have to be on the January security patch to even take/flash it. If you took an Oreo update after the January 1st security patch which I do believe is February 1st for oreo you are out of luck on getting pie until the stock firmware is uploaded on mirrors.

This unacceptable conduct for XDA. This community is very open to free speech, but personal attacks are not welcome, allowed, or tolerated. I'm not going to report it because the mods have enough work as it is. However, I am going to take the time to educate you on XDA's rules regarding language.

Please be civil. That was uncalled for. The guy you were responding to was only trying to avoid more mass confusion, because we have too many guides already.
I hope I am doing this right. I may be asking a question that has already been asked. I looked through all of the previous posted forums and was not able to find the answers that I need. They may have been available but I just didn't understand them as such. I am just now getting into this so I am not very tech savy lol. I am sorry and ask if you could just please bear with me. I bought an AT&T samsung tab e t377a at a pawn shop ( probably not a good idea). But all I intended to use it for was on my home wifi. A couple of years ago I went through a terrible experience due to a stalker that had had personal access to my home network. Ever since then I have became extremely security conscious with my devices. From what I understand this tablet has several security vulnerabilities due to the fact that it's not getting the security patches that it needs because it is no longer receiving updates. Right now this is where it stands...
Android version.... 6.0.1
Baseband version.... T377AUCU2APJ2
Build number.... MMB29K.T377AUCU2APJ2
Android security patch level.... October 1, 2016
From what I understand I need android 7. I became interested in rooting this tablet but it looks like there hasn't been a method developed yet that I am comfortable with. Everywhere else that I have pursued answers from has suggested that I may have to purchase a service plan from AT&T in order to get on to their servers before I can get the update to secure this device. Thats bullcrap! I would think that Samsung would provide better allocations. I may be way out of line but I know personally how much the security of these devices matter. Is there any other way for me to obtain the update?? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

If I went about this wrong or inappropriately I do apologize. I did search this site prior to posting for the answers I needed to prevent posting a repeated question but as far as my understanding goes...I couldn't find any. If I posted this in the wrong forum could someone please tell me where I need to post it? I have really researched the sources available involved with technology. This site seems to be the most reliable regarding androids. But due to what all I went through I feel that we may have almost took the advancement of technology too far beyond our own limits. I think offensive security and becoming educated as much as possible about all of your devices is the only true security that you can obtain. If anyone has any advice on how I could update my tablet without going through AT&T or could tell me where else I could look I would greatly appreciate it. Thank yall!
Also...if I am incorrect about my device and what I am needing please let me know.
