I bought X Play, the model is not clear what You can find out the model, as well as IMEI, serial number and date of manufacture, by logging in to Fastboot>Barcodes. If instead of six characters (XT ****) some zeros, ask in the subject. Unfortunately, the alphanumeric code alone is not enough, it is necessary to determine the region to which the model belongs. The update channel is in italics:
- XT1561retcn(CN: China)frequencies
- XT1562retmea reteu retin(EU, FR, DE, ES, IN, ASIA: Europe + Asia),frequencies
- XT1563retla retca(CA, AR, LA: North and Latin America),frequencies
- XT1564retlra(LRA: Puerto Rico, etc.) and XT1565vzw(VZW),frequencies. Please note that Verizon cannot unlock the bootloader, with all the consequences, and also Russian is cut out from the menu.
How to get into the "fastboot", what is it? Fastboot- pre-boot menu, controlled by volume and power buttons, as well as a mode for performing
teams. Enter it like this:
- when the phone is turned off, hold down the Power and Vol Down buttons for 2-3 seconds, release.
- turn off or restart the phone with the cable connected to the charging or computer, after holding Vol Down.
- execute the commandadb reboot-bootloader. There should be drivers, adb itself, access allowed, etc.
While in fastboot, you can get detailed information about the phone by running fastboot_console.bat (the file fb_info.txt will appear next to it) located in the adb_fastboot.zip archive (see the header, download, unpack, drivers should also appear) or
fastboot getvar all.
And in the "recovery" how? Recovery is a pre-boot environment for servicing Android, there are two types -
officialand informal (usually
TWRP). Functions: work with the file system, applying updates. How to get: from the fastboot mode we enter the Recovery item, we see the robot, hold down the Power, then a short press on Volume Up, release both buttons. Further transition with the volume buttons on the menu, you can clear only the cache (wipe cache partition), or completely reset the phone to factory settings (wipe data / factory reset). Confirmation with the Power button.
And what firmware to install, or not important? It is important, since the models differ at least with a modem and a number of SIMs, and if you try to install a fresh firmware on a smart with a locked bootloader, and you haven’t yet come out on your model, you risk to stay with an unloaded device, perhaps forever.
What is a bootloader? The area of ​​internal memory, stuffed with manufacturer protective functions (
articlein English), for example, a ban on changing the contents of the system partitions in which the firmware resides. Therefore, users who want to customize the smartphone in their own way, seek to unlock the bootloader. Find out the current status of the bootloader, it is locked (
locked, Status 0) or not (
unlocked, Status 3), or blocked again (
locked, Status 2), as well as its version (for example,
BL: A0.48) by going to fastboot -
see photo. Please note that it is not possible to roll back the version of the bootloader, whether it is open or closed. Open can be closed back, change the state of an infinite number of times, but the number 2 will always be evidence that smart unlocked in the past.
I am a beginner, where to start, how to sew? Additionally, I want to root, recovery and install any firmware At first
how to sew:on smart, go to fastboot, download the latest official firmware for your model on your computer, unpack it into a folder, then open the xml file with RSD Lite, click Start, ready.
- if there are several xml files, select flashfile.xml, which additionally contains a complete cleaning of the previous data and user settings; servicefile.xml does not clean anything, only alters system partitions.
- if the process is interrupted with an error like "failed flashing process 6/24 flash boot" boot.img ", you are trying to sew someone else's or outdated firmware. Be careful.
The question of root requires checking the status of the loader (see above).
Unlocked?Great, go straight to installing TWRP.
Blocked?Free official unlock is available to you, after which the installation of TWRP, the installation of SuperSU and then we will get root-rights.
How to install unofficial. Recovery (TWRP):Download adb_fastboot.zip from the header, unpack it into a folder, launch the flash_TWRP_recovery.bat file, select the version you want to stitch, confirm, and immediately after successfully completing the operation, go to the RECOVERY MODE item with the top volume button! Otherwise, the protection will not save the changes and the recovery will remain official. How now to sew an unofficial firmware, see below.
How to get root-rights:After logging into Android, we copy the SuperSU zip archive into the internal memory of the smart (look in the header / on the forum / google), go back to TWRP, go to Install, find the archive with SuperSU, set, reboot. Everything, we have root-rights.
How to unlock bootloader:on all models of the Lux family, the procedure is free (except for XT1565, where there is no unlock, and
is availableonly a minimum of modifications), carried out through the Motorola website and fastboot mode.
Read more about unlocking
Download the driver from the header, as well as the archive with the adb_fastboot folder. Unpack the folder and run fastboot_console.bat. If you see a smart (run through a bunch of lines with technical information), enter the command fastboot oem get_unlock_data and get something like this:
(bootloader) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(bootloader) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(bootloader) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(bootloader) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(bootloader) blah blah blah
Move on
reference, Click at the bottom of the Next, authorizing or checking in, and then get to the page with N2 step, where there is a window. Select and copy (pr book mouse, Mark, highlight the cursor, Enter -.. Work out!) Sequentially in this window from top to bottom every line of code, "blah blah blah" to get one big conjoint line, we click Can my device button be unlocked ?, at the bottom, do not forget to agree to the terms and get the unlock key to the post office. Let's go back to the commands window (reopen if closed) and enter fastboot oem unlock ***********, where the asterisk - received in the mail key. After the automatic restart obtain an unlocked smart. If it is not clear yet
instruction How to lock the bootloader back: The operation requires an official RSD firmware version equal to the one already wired, or fresh. In fastboot mode, send a command
fastboot oem lock beginsew RSD, wait, send the final command
fastboot oem lock. The loader receives status 2 ("closed again").
And can a stupid question, is it really possible to sew official firmware through TWRP? Impossible, since TWRP is designed to install unofficial software. There are two types of firmware:
- partition images in .img, for installation from RSD Lite / fastboot - inside the files gpt.bin, recovery.img, .xml. Official factory firmware type
- update archive in .zip, to install from recovery - always inside the folder META-INF. Unofficial type, usually custom or factory mod, as well as official OTA
It is logical that you can not install anything informal on a smart with a locked bootloader There are no restrictions on unlocked, you can experiment.
How to sew the modified (unofficial) firmware? Go to TWRP, find the internal memory of a smart card in My computer, throw a zip into it with the desired firmware (or connect a USB flash drive via OTG), boot into TWRP, choose Install. Depending on the preferences of the firmware author, it may be necessary to pre-wipe the System section. Read carefully the description of the firmware, universal tips in this case are harmful.
I saw Android 8.0 on one X Play, but how, if 7.1.1 is the maximum ?! Do not confuse the official factory firmware (stock ROM, RSD / SBF) and informal custom-firmware (Cyanogen, Resurrection Remix, NX ROM, etc.) Last updated much more speedily, so Android 8.0 and above is not new to them. An advantage of the factory in support of Moto-tech, almost never occur in other smarts:. Voice control from a deep sleep, turn on the camera a gesture, an active screen, etc. Analogues of these technologies in the recent time there, but Motorola will forever be known for their impeccable implementation.
It is 7.1.1, the loader is locked, I want to return to 5.1. How to do? With a locked bootloader, "roll back" the Android version, of course, is impossible. Such a ban is part of the protection of the smartphone from hacking. "Rollback", however, becomes possible when the boot loader is unlocked. When you decide to return to the previous Android, be careful, and in any case do not try to lower the version of the markup and the loader - do not sew
gpt.binand
bootloader.img. Take
Akelpad, open * .xml (if we sew in RSD Lite) or * .bat (if we prefer fastboot.exe), delete the corresponding 2 lines, save. The loader will remain intact. Taking OTA after such a rollback is absolutely not recommended! If you sew the latest official RSD stock for your model (completely, along with the markup and the loader), OTA is safe again. P.S. If the smart asks "to remove the firmware of Motorola Sensor Services" - we agree.
I sewed something, then I updated it, now the bodies do not turn on, what should I do? For the future: it does not matter whether your bootloader is unlocked or not, use caution. Sew only native firmware! The update coming via WiFi (OTA) can be installed exclusively on the official and unmodified firmware. An attempt to install OTA on a modified, custom, not "native" will lead to the most diverse consequences, up to and including physical damage to the device!
The easiest and fastest way to disable the XT1561 (as of 2016): a device with a locked bootloader on firmware 5.1.1 try to flash 6.0.1 from another region. How to avoid: either enable the checkbox OEM-unlock in the developer settings, or unlock the bootloader immediately. How to cure: if there is a native 6.0.1, put it, and if it is not, you are at a dead end, with a "brick" in your hands.
Always used OTA, but you say they are dangerous If the bootloader is locked, not dangerous. It is very simple to install: either by checking for updates in Settings, or by uploading a zip update to the root of the internal memory, then to the recovery and Install from sdcard (in this case, if a microSD is inserted, the zip should be on it, and if the internal memory is integrated with the microSD, disconnect them). Owning a smart phone with an unlocked OTA bootloader is simple
Not recommended . Do not wait for instructions. The ripped 7.1.1 Moto X Play is not recoverable, they can only be repaired when EasyJTAG is available.
Articlehow does the PTA.
Does OTA come to everyone? PTA will receive a smartphone or not, it depends on its IMEI (possible S / N), the required software version, and MCC / MNC code SIM card. Updates are sent irregularly. Initially, a small portion on the smart sold to developing countries such as Brazil or India, followed by a pause and the analysis of the media sphere in the presence of serious problems messages. Then sending continues waves, more and more, but in doses not to overload the links and servers within 2-4 weeks. What smarts get OTA, and which do not solve the company. If you do not come, and you are sure that the model is compatible, put a hand from a file downloaded from the network.
I want to flash, I went into fastboot mode, but the RSD Lite program does not see the phone The problem is most likely in the computer drivers, if you have already supplied the Motorola drivers, they checked the cable, the USB connector is OK, and so on. It is solved by reinstalling / changing the operating system or the computer itself. Motorola + RSD Lite driver bundle is tested on all operating systems, from XP to Windows 10 x64, a problem in your hardware or software. Check if fastboot.exe works.
Android 6.0, in My computer, the smart memory is shown empty From curtain switch from “Charging Only” to “File Transfer (MTP)”.
To run an adb command, you need to plug in USB debugging, and where? Seven times, tap on the "Build number" in "About phone", the item "For developers" will appear, enable "USB debugging" in it and confirm access if the smart requests
I heard about the magic root-program that does not require unlock bootloader, so I can put it? It seems that we are talking about KingRoot and KingoRoot (there are two of them), which sometimes allow to get root-rights. But the quality of this method is extremely low. Ruth does not survive the reboot, there are no more recording rights than there is, compatibility leaves much to be desired, puts advertising. It is used in special cases when it is impossible to get the root in any other way.
I have Verizon, in the menu a bunch of "left" programs, how to remove? The process of cleaning up annoying content is called debloating. In the presence of root-rights unnecessary simply delete the file manager. If there is no root, block

I put the Russified firmware, but the voice control does not turn on That's right, Moto Voice (previously Touchless Control) does not support Russian. To wake up the phone with a code phrase and manage it via Google Now (redirect goes here automatically if the command is not recognized) in Russian, you need root, then Xposed, then the App Settings module, in which we find the package
com.motorola.audiomonitor, the language inside we set English, click "apply", reboot, then you can customize the passphrase. Cm

In my statistics, the battery shows failures, especially after 30% Change the battery to fresh. When buying, beware of fakes (found on both Aliexpress and Ebay). Stickers should not be, all the inscriptions on the battery stamped with paint. On both trading floors, the original is slightly used, and this is the maximum that you can buy.
Smart turns off too soon, then the charge jumps from 5 to 90%, help Calibrate as follows: when turned on, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds until the phone restarts, then plug in the charge and do not disconnect the cable for at least half an hour after reaching 100%. Another recipe: go to fastboot, go to the item Bootloader logs and hold down the power button until the smart restarts. Both recipes are official.
Why in the statistics of the battery eats "network connection" most of all? On 4.4.4 this was not! It is believed that with a worn out battery, Lollipop writes off energy losses to poor communication quality, at which, as you know, the power consumption of the radio part increases. Google does not consider a bug; no one is going to fix it. If you are very worried, you can put the Xposed + module
MobileRadioActiveFix. Also turn off all tracking-scanning functions in the WiFi settings.

Still.
After maze I noticed that X Play catches worse, and there are few rods in the antenna. "Sticks" for guidance only. To know exactly the signal strength (dBm - the smaller the better) can be in the About phone. But even this is not an indicator. If your copy of the bond breaks in the open, is defective or poor coverage by the operator. Each model runs a compulsory certification of the supervisory authorities, the parameters are strictly controlled, and hardly worse than in other Smart. Thus, in a very small range of the reception quality change instance to instance - can. In large - no, that's the problem.
WiFi and Bluetooth sliders are inactive, self-powered off Or software problem or "iron". We try to flash the factory firmware, but it does not help, we carry it in for repair.

It is better to mount the flash drive in the internal memory or keep it in the old fashioned way In the old manner. When combined with internal can spoil the data. And take the flash drive as quickly as possible (>30Mb / s write), so as not to wait for elementary operations. Instructions how to merge: format the flash in exfat, set the type of memory as Portable, then format it as Internal and WAIT 10 min. Then we press Power off and again we wait, about 15 minutes, if the card is 128GB Class 10. Then we turn on the smart and see that the memory is Adopted Internal Storage. Cons: the combined memory is rather slow + increases power consumption.
