Hi
Our team is developing some neat tools for this device, our programs and tools are not GPL'd and NOT open source.
We are developing a full device tree in this process so we are building some recoveries and such to test,
much of this will be part of our end GOAL/Development project.
But in the mean time, If you have ANY variant of the Moto E6 and would like to help further development for the device,
you may join us in our Telegram Group.
There's a few rules:
don't tell us how to run our test program
don't try to take charge leave it to a moderator
dont repost/ publish our work anywhere including google drive or xda
and dont start arguments about licencing/gpl or any other frivolous/fluff stuff
everyone gets the mention in the credits at the end when it all gets pushed to Github...
if you can handle that and you want to see what we have going on...

I own a Moto e6s (XT2053-1) and would happily test whatever you throw at me.
However, I have found no way to unlock the bootloader yet.

Great, thanks!
Here is what I did:
enabled USB-Debugging and OEM-unlocking
from the dialog of AIO-toolkit chose "Unlock bootloader"
device boots into fastboot
resulting message:
Code:
FAILED (remote: ’unknown command’)
fastboot: error: Command failed
Bootloader Unlocked!!
Rebooting to Android
Rebooting into bootloader
[...]
The bootloader is still locked.
Anything I could do?
The E6s runs on a different SOC compared to the E6 (former is Mediatek Helio P22, later is Snapdragon 435), so you wouldn't be able to use this recovery anyway.
Thank you for this

That would be true if different soc.
Mine is the snapdragon 435.
So this will not be compatible with the e6s.
Being mediatek,
Did u try mtk-su?
Works for some mtk stuff
Sorry the toolkit didn't work for u

Hey everyone out here .I wanna request the devs of this device to please look forward in building roms for moto g 2014 .
A month after the release only a single rom is been seen......hope there is someone who can look into the forum of moto g2 :angel:
Pointless thread.
I don't know anything about Moto G 2014, from source perspective, but are they released the sources for different things for the device? Or are you here to call out the devs for making wonders in a land without source code?
Also, I remember when I got my Moto G 2013, first, there wasn't even a proper custom recovery image out there, only the superboot from MoDaCo, so patience my friend.
I agree there's no point in begging for developement. People will build if they want and when they want.
I agree dude but there's big difference between begging and requesting.
I now just came to know about the kernel sources not being released ...so devs might close the thread for good.
Thanks for replies friends.:thumbup:

Moto G 2014 will see custom roms after kernel source and lollipop release. Like others stated show some patience. In the meantime you can root and install xposed framework.
Hi everyone! You guys probably don't know me (Shawn5162) because I haven't been active in the Moto G 2014 forums (except for my restore tool for windows) but I am very active in other device forums such as the Galaxy S5, Note 10.1 2014 Edition, LG G3, etc. In those forums I am defiantly a recognized dev, mostly for porting or compiling ROMs . But the reason I landed in this forum is because I recently I got a new device...the Moto G 2014 and feel it is a great device. But to my shock there were NO great ROMs for this device (by no means am a hatting on the 1 or 2 ROMs here). And that's where I come into play. I am a dev who has a lot of experience with AOSP and compiling and thus want to bring forth a great AOSP ROM for this device. Now I there will be no problem building it as I have experience and if do run into any issue I can refer to the Moto G 2013 devs (since both devices share almost identical specs). Also the AOSP ROM will always be on the latest version of Android (I promise i'll try my best). After all, the good thing about AOSP ROMs is you can have great levels of customization. Now there is a slim chance of failure in the project (like 1% only because everything in life has a chance of failing) but if everything goes well you guys will have a great dev supporting a great ROM. Finally, thanks for your cooperation and I will keep you guys posted all the way.
Sincerely,
Shawn5162

Why is there something wrong
Thanx dev!....if u need a tester ..m here
Wow this would be Great! Hopefully it will grow and give us a cool AOSP ROM.
Thanks a ton!
That would be great, thanks
I really would appreciate some more development in here.Thx for that announcement!
Finally Devs Coming.
Best of luck Shawn. :thumbup:
If you make it, it would be Giant leap for Moto G
Awesome man..... I Really appreciate what u r doing for this community....
Coming from a nexus phone which broke and buying this device for the price, would be nice to see more roms.
Bring it. I love AOSP. And if you did it there would def be some donations coming your way.

Hey there,
INTRO:
I'm a relatively new member to XDA and the Android Community as well. The Moto G (2014) is my first Android phone since ever. I was using iPhones (4,4S,5,5S), iPads and Mac and have Jailbroken and Developed Tweaks, Apps etc for iOS.
Now that I got my hands on this amazing device, I would love to contribute to the Community by developing and porting ROMs for the Moto G 2014.
WHAT? WHY?:
So if it isnt too much trouble could someone post a device-specific instructions, checklist and downloads to setup a development environment for Moto G (2014). I'm a pretty fast learner so any crude form of instructions would suffice. With the right heading and instructions I'm sure that I can contribute to this community.
PAST CONTRIBUTIONS:
If you're curious about what I've preciously done, just Google "Krishna Sagar iPhone" and you'll see. I've developed apps, Jailbreak tweaks and I've even been mentioned and credited by CNET.com for discovering the first solid evidence about 4G in the iPhone 5. (Before it was announced or released. Yea!! )
So any help at all is appreciated! You know.. Help Me to Help You!
Regards
Krishna Sagar

PS: I've searched XDA and found some tutorials but I'm looking for some device specific instructions and downloads such as Device Tree, Kernal, ROM sources etc.. and crude up-to-date instructions on how to setup a Build-Environment. Thanks
Reserved by OP:
Once I get a working set of instruction and successfully setup my Dev Environment, I will post concise step-by-step instructions on how I set it up so that others can use it as a reference.
Okay....i just learned these things past month.
So tell me where you reached so that i can guide you.

I am at the very beginning... From the start would be great. Like i said.. I dont want a lengthy tutorial.. I'll find the instructions myself
For eg: just say setup Android Kitchen instead of walking me through the installation setup.
I just need a crude checklist to begin. I've doing some searxhing of my own.. But like i said, i need a bit more devicr specific approach!
Device specific approach would start once you have downloaded the repo.
Till then.... Approach for all the devices would be same.
Que: You are talking about building the rom from source right??
Or you just want to modify the stock rom!?

And where can I download these device repos?
For Porting ROMs : Usually ports are done from working Cyanogen build or AOSP build, which we doesn't have yet. But, k2wl and shawn are main developers working towards that. Once we get those fully working then only you will be able to port another roms.
Regarding Device Repo: It's required to build rom from source, not for porting one.
repo is a "Source Code" file, which is approx 25-30 GB in size.
Honor 7 (PLK-L01) Kernel Source Code Discussion
Hello, honorable Honor 7 users , I hope you all are using this device to the fullest, now I'm starting this thread to discuss about the kernel source code for our beloved device. There are a lot of benefits from it.
1. We can create a master tree for our device.
2. After creating the tree we can create various branches of different custom ROMs, so that we can compile them from it.
3. We can add different CPU Govereners to our device to unleash its better performance, or better stability.
4. ETC. ETC.
There are still more benefits from the kernel source code.
Having The Honor 7 Kernel Source Codes Is Extremely Important For Development
Thank you for posting about that.
Indeed having the Android kernel source codes of (Huawei Honor 7 - PLK-L01) will help a lot in the development and porting process.
I am going to contact Huawei support team today to see when they are willing to share the source codes.
For anyone who is interested in this, please reply to this post and try to contact them too pointing your interest in having them.
This would be the most important step towards having custom ROMs on this amazing device.
Special thanks for "DigiGoon" to bring that up. :good:
Source Code
Yes, absolutely right @kenshiwara we can create custom ROMs and can tweak them to make this device even more better.
So guys, if more and more people will demand for the source code from Huawei then more closer we will get to have a custom ROM out of it, and I think that this device will gain much popularity after the company releases it worldwide, so we will get more and more developers working on it on different ROMs, but for that we need kernel source, so please contact Huawei for the same it's for our good only.
its funny,
I sent a email to them, on Monday asking the same thing (no reply thought) and was going to start a post about it , guess i was beaten to it
I really like this device, and would be a shame if not customs roms are available

A petition will make zero difference. Honor UK and EU staff are well aware that they need to provide GPL code but they have to wait for the software team in China to provide the files. No point hassling them on social media etc as it won't make the code magically appear.
And even if we had kernel source it does not mean that custom ROMs will appear!
If you expected to be able to run custom ROMs then I'm sorry but you bought the wrong device.

Having the source can mean that developers can make custom ROMs and flash it through twrp. I get your point that there is a lack of developers for this device, but I would like to mess around with the source, and see if I can create a ROM (only ported mtk ROMs in the past and modify some files in the past, which would require some learning)
And I didn't buy this device for custom ROMs, but it would be nice to have some

As, I said earlier, with kernel source we can create tree, and out of the master tree we can create branches for various custom ROMs, and well in past I have made a ROM without kernel source, and made a tree for my other device(XOLO Play T1000), and successfully flashed via TWRP, it was having problems with network, wifi, so didn't made it to xda so, I think after having the source code we can create something

As we said before, having the Android kernel source codes will massively help in the porting and development process.
It is within the development cycles of Huawei to release the source codes at a certain stage. Let's hope though, that they can release them soon.
It's annoying me that Huawei are still unable to respect the GPL by releasing kernel source on time whenever there has been a firmware update. It's even more annoying for my friends that work for Huawei in the UK who are pretty passionate about the devices and eager to help the community out but are sadly at the mercy of the Chinese office that are reluctant to provide any source. I really don't understand why they are being like this, since they have recently been supportive of Cyanogenmon on some devices as well as the Nexus 6P.
What possible reason could Huawei have for witholding the code for the Honor 7? I'm starting to wonder if Huawei have incorporated code into the kernel that isn't compatible with the GPL or is completely closed source.

Even then, they should have made an statement about it, but what would stop them to lie about it?
They could also broke some patents with the phone, so they are trying to cover it up by not releasing the code

Thank you for your comment and for your supporting this topic.
As they had released the source codes for Honor 6, there is no reason for them to not share the codes of Honor 7. As @DigiGoon have stated, they replied to his tweet already and never denied the idea or his request.
It would be nice if anyone who is interested in having the source codes and supporting the developers who are willing to work on porting ROMs for this device to comment on that tweet, share it and like it. :laugh:

Yes, Huawei supports the open source community. They had released most of their previous Android kernel source codes including Honor 6 in the past.
Hopefully it is just a matter of time before they release the codes of honor 7. We are very excited to start working on a ROM.

I've bought this phone today, i really hope Huawei provide source code for Custom ROM.
And I've already signed the petition
Edit : Huawei doesn't provide any CPU source code, just EMUI source code...
Because I'm bored most of the times, I decided that I will try to port the cm for our p9 lite. First of all, I wanna say that I'm not a developer and my experiences with porting aren't too big (i only ported some roms from moto g to moto g 4g version and cm11 to unbranded chinese tablet). So my question is guys, do you think that it's worth trying? I read that it's pretty hard to make custom rom for devices that have chipsets like kirin, mediatek etc... But since Huawei released their kernel sources for this device I thought that it isn't a bad idea
What do you think?
there are a few guys on p8 lite forum that are trying for a while now...i think it's just to hard and we don't have experienced devs to work on our device

I looked on the chinese forums too (our p9 lite is named huawei g9 in china) but there are only threads about twrp recovery and roms that are based on stock. I'm now taking my time to learn how cm and the other stuff works so i will try to report some progress soon hopefully

We have kernel source code, and we can start building cm13,
But first we need a device tree.

But we can use a device tree from p8 lite which has similar chipset (kirin 620) and then modifiy it. Correct me if i'm wrong

As far as I know p9 lite has kirin 650 SoC, after some quick research i found that these two are different from many points... Of course you can try it but they aren't many chances of success.
Update:
I have done more research and someone was able to build and update kernel from that source. So we have a short start. At least we know that kernel source is ok

Great news and good luck. I bought this device with 2 years of payment plan, so I don't expect on buying anything new soon haha.
i talked with @XePeleato on the p8 lite section... they have made great progress... maybe he can help if you want... seems like a great guy

Yeah, I don't have the device but I may be able to help you out whenever I finish CM13, since then I'll have more time. By the way, don't be too excited about the kernel sources, We also have the p8 lite kernel source but many stuff is missing.
Emm,is it a bad idea to make a sort of a chat room for those working on CM for the P9 Lite?
It would go much faster if several people worked on it together instead of working separately,right?
So far I took the P8Lite device and vendor trees,replaced the blobs/sensitive stuff with the ones from the P9 Lite and edited the config files.
I tried to make the -eng build(of course,to be able to logcat broken things),yet the build info wouldn't mention the full build name in the "CM_VERSION=" section. I must've missed something I can't locate no matter how hard I try.
I also tried to build the kernel first,but it asked for the cyanogenmod_hi6250_defconfig in /arch/arm64/configs. I then "added" it(improvised by creating a copy of the stock defconfig and just renaming it),and then the build procedure asked for "hisi_cm_hi6250_debug_defconfig" in /arch/arm/configs,and I have no clue on how to get that one.
This is the first time I tried to do a thing like this,but I wanted to try,and sharing information(even the ones which appear to be useless) might help someone...
I will sync the improvized device and vendor trees when I get back home(Sunday),hopefully it will be at least a bit helpful to everyone.
It is most likely that you guys will keep ignoring me,but we surely can make it go faster if we work together.

that's what i said in the p8 lite section a while back... for devs to work together... in the end they finally started a project together and made big progress... maybe a google plus page or on Hangouts...

I use Hangouts to communicate with my fellow rom builders/dev.
Hangouts is pretty good for chat groups,and is easy to establish/use.
I also asked one excellent dev for help when he gets the time.
So,theoretically,we have a decent number of capable people for this endevour.
My Hangouts mail is [email protected].
Anyone who is interested in exchanging information can freely talk to me.

I'm 100% in, but i can't help you too much, cause i'm still trying to learn about the rom developing...

I may join if you like me to, but if you are focused on CM, delete vendor.mk, I completely rebuilt it to work on CM, you can't add such a high amount of blobs.
What I may suggest, is to fork the kernel (of your device) and the P8LiteDev tree, and use it as a base, but remove the blobs from vendor.mk
It would be also a good idea to deodex your rom and upload it somewhere.
