Apps like Boot Manager? - Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps

Does anyone know of a dual boot app like Boot Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager that can run on the 300?
There's so many awesome roms for this device and I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, so I wanted to test some roms out, like I've done on other devices. I submitted a device req to the dev of the app, but wondered if anyone knew of a similar app that worked on the 300.

[Q] Custom Recovery for LG Ultimate 2?

Ive rooted my LG Ultimate 2 (L41C) from straight talk and i cant seem to find a compatible Custom Recovery or a way to unlock the bootloader. Ive searched all over google. Does anyone know of one or has anyone owned and rooted this phone before?
Bump
I rooted mine with Towelroot but have not yet found anything on installing TWRP or another recovery. I'm not holding my breath, though, as this phone has a limited audience (not like a Samsung S5 or something like that).
we have found out that you can use this phone on PagePlus Cellular(Verizon MVNO) directly without modification or flashing. Just give them the MEID Hex number to put on the account.
PPC is infinitely better than Net10. That might lead to an uptick in popularity for this model.

Only since very recent we have had recoveries and ROM's for this phone. You can find a whole list If recoveries here: http://tracfonedevs.createaforum.com/lg-ultimate-2/

[Tip] For people having issues with lost recoveries

One of my buddies introduced me to an app that's free on Google Play, I don't know about anyone here but I myself am new to the Sony Z Ultra and my biggest issue I had thus far was with a custom recovery. If you are on a locked bootloader head over to @[NUT] DualRecovery thread in "Android Development" its on the first page. If your Sony Z Ultra is bootloader unlocked this will work for you. This also requires that the ROM you are on has a kernel that supports this method. Most custom AOSP ROMs for us have this feature built in to the kernel. The app is called Rashr, you MUST already have root access and a form of Superuser or SuperSU installed and working as it will ask for root upon launching the app...
I lost recovery a few times and I was stumbling around in learning best methods to go about things with the ZU and this did the trick and you DO NOT need a PC!!!!!
Launch the app permit root and this will give you the option to flash a recovery from the device storage, you can also download a recovery of your choice whether it be ClockworkMod, Philz, or Team Win. It confirms the device model in our case "Togari" and will flash the recovery and confirm its flashed within the app and give you the option to reboot to recovery when done.. If you have concerns you can actually backup your existing recovery and also existing kernel and you can have multiple backups not just one of each.. You can also rename them as you see fit and they are saved as image files. Example being recovery-from-20150129.img or kernel-from-20150129.img etc etc...
This may be redundant or it may not, I posted this here because I've seen some people like myself posting there issues with lost recoveries and there has been random replies and some of which were vague.. Also this is the Q&A and "Help" section and I'm just trying to offer some help!
If I've helped in any way please hit the thanks button, and make sure if this works for you to leave the developer a nice comment and 5 stars for the rating..
***DISCLAIMER***
I'm in no way affiliated with the developer of the app I just loved it so much it is legit a lifesaver!!! Also always make a nandroid backup when possible, and allways know what you are doing when tinkering with your device. Nobody is responsible for your device but you!
Get the app for free on Google Play - it can flash over 90% of Android devices - it also has over 3500 recoveries in its collection!!

[Q] Xperia Z2 urgent flash help needed

Hello Fellows!
So after having my Xperia for 1 year I got kinda bored of it's design and wanted to flash and customize it.
I like customizing a lot and I never had problems ever since I flashed my first PlayStation Device.
But now I am hardly irritated about my smartphone. There is a great tutorial here, which would be amazingly helpful to me, if I knew more about the recent Android versions and the customization tool I want to use (since that's all I really want).
To state my problems accurately, I was looking for complete customization of the Android UI and came across here. Now, an app called Themer has been recommended for such a thing, but it requires flashing my phone in a way.
The first thing that irritated me, is the fact it's engine is taken from T-Mobile software (My Xperia is one, at least google states it downloading something from the Play Store Website ("Telekom Sony D6503"). I don't know if there is a connection, but my main problem is the flashing now. Recently the Lollipop Update came out, but I updated my phone just 2 days ago getting the 4.4.4 rev. (23.0.1.A.0.167). Also I don't really understand the CM10/11 thing or which I should apply in order to not mess up my phone. EDIT: Just reminded myself of the "Bootloader", I need to figure out if it's locked or unlocked...
Specifically I want to apply this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631573
Don't judge it please, I kinda like the minimalistic style.
What can I do to apply this theme correctly and which ROM would be useful?
Can I apply this theme whatsoever?
Thank you for your answers!
EDIT: I've been trying to ROOT my phone with phone with the instructions. I tried to to do it without unlocking the bootloader (since this is a valid option) and something happened, but at the same time didn't.
I tried to install the recovery and root it to gain superuser, but it didn't really work out, except my phone having a new Bootscreen ("powered by Android" after the Sony Xperia start up).
Where did I go wrong? My PC loads drivers for S1 /SOMC Flash when starting up my phone with VOL-/PowerButton, but I can't get into the phone's recovery mode... (I think it was TWRP)
I just don't understand the world anymore .__.
OK, hi m8, Xperias with Locked Bootloader (LB) don't use Theme Chooser. You can get it in Cyanogen Mod (CM) and for CM you need to unlock your Bootloader. As for rooting 4.4.4, you need to read this. Basically, you need to downgrade, root then flash a pre- rooted zip. Hope this helps m8. Good luck :good:

HELP PLEASE! Advice for LG Tribute 5 Root and ROMs

Ok from where i started to currently....
I got my developer options opened up on my device
ran USB Debbuging and Allow Unknown Apps.
Ok.
Downloaded, Installed and Succesfully Authenticated
100% KingRoot on my LG Tribute 5.
Now I'm stuck like what do i do now????
There isn't any info out there on my specific phone but
I had tried to Switch my Kingroot to SuperSU.....
To no avail. Didnt work.
So if anyone can even give me a general idea of where to look or go for the help I would be very greatful.
I've installed ROM Installer and ROM Toolbox Lite but becuase i have no custom ROM installed yet I cant do anything.....Mainly help with ROMS that are safe?
How to get them and install/run?
Do i need to back up?
...............
Well if your a pro you get where I am at and if you have it in your heart to help a fellow technical fanatic out.
Your advice, suggestions and/or replies will be read and applied with due diligance.
Thanks a ton XDA Comm.

Not likely there are many options available for this phone as they're not as sought after by people who are really into figuring out how to mod things. You should mention which variant / carrier yours is because I know that this phone is also known as the K7 in some markets and depending on the carrier and whether it's CDMA or GSM, there might be more or less options for changing things. Also, I would uninstall Rom Installer because I really doubt it supports your phone, even if there were roms for it. Generally, you would need a custom recovery and it's best to install the roms manually through it. Apps like that tend to muck things up more than help.

I made this post for the Tribute 5 on whatever I could find on it on the internets and XDA > http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/lg-tribute-5-boost-mobile-t3409904
Also beware, you will brick if you flash boot.img or a custom recovery. but we get xposed! so it works out somewhat. Thinking about trying to port cyanogenmod, but I have never tried anything like that. Will be fun!

Question Moto G Pure - XT2163-4 vs XT2163-2 - LTE bands

New here. Didn't see a forum for the Moto G Pure XT2163. Mods - I am sorry. Please move wherever's best.
Discovered that the version Verizon is selling (notably the slickdeals thread on the one from Visible) is different. It's -2 vs. -4.
Looks like VZW disabled most of the bands that T-Mobile/Sprint use - 25, 41, 71, for example.
Looking to see if it's possible to enable those bands. One report on SD thread says they bricked their device trying RETUS version but IDK if the bootloader needs to be unlocked first, or if it would even help. Probably more work to unlock these bands if it's even possible.
Downloads look available here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ellis/official/
Haven't messed with flashing a phone in years. May be able to try later but hoping anyone else here can look into this.
I'm going to guess as is the case with most other Android devices branded by Verizon that the bootloader will be restricted from being unlocked. There is really no way around this as it's an OEM based policy. If you want to play with custom ROMs or root based modding, I would highly recommend ditching the Verizon or any other carrier branded variant with the exception of T-Mobile/Metro and Google Fi (there are others) that actually allow OEM unlock. Not only that, but if you're looking for certain connectivity bands, you don't want to settle for a carrier device variant designed to use a particular set of bands which don't include the ones you need. No sense getting a Verizon variant to run on T-Mobile/Sprint bands when you can, you know, get the T-Mobile variant in the first place. Get the global unlocked variant model if you can and start from there. Far easier than the headaches you'll get trying to transform VZW to TMUS.
Cross-flashing is not going to unlock bands, you need to change modem configuration. Throw your SoC(Mediatek) followed by "unlock bands" into Google and see if you have any luck.
I also didn't see a forum for the Moto G Pure and was wondering if anyone knows of a custom bootloader like TWRP or CWM for it? I think I have enough understanding of how to sideload the app, I just need something to send the phone. I tried using a random TWRP mod on it but it fails, invalid signature. I haven't tried doing the phone rooting thing in years now, but I have this Moto G Pure phone without any service on it that I'm willing to experiment on. It can be used as a test bed or data extraction device to put code from it on the internet if someone needs it to help custom rom makers for example by testing stuff on it. Perhaps that's why no one has a custom recovery for it yet.
I don't know exactly how to extract the phones current ROM data so all I've done so far is unlock the bootloader. The phone's carrier based on the unactivated sim card shows it's a T-Mobile branded device, but the T-Mobile and other carrier software is inactive other than the few Moto apps. An article on XDA say's the phone's suck, but that's just not true at least not to me. It's a fine phone like it is, but if I can format it's SSD and only install what I want it to have on it that would be great. It's just a spare sim locked phone that I can't use my active sim card in. So with that it's now a project phone. I would like to mainly just unbloat it and free up all that used space occupied by the recovery partition. I don't necessarily need a whole new ROM, just want to root it. That's the only way to erase those factory files that I know of.
For me unlocking the bootloader wasn't to hard to do. You have to make sure the drivers from Motorola are installed and have a current version of ADB available on a computer. I still had a version of ADB tools that was almost a decade old now so I had to update that for the fastboot oem_unlock_unlockcode (automated code from Motorola support) command to work. To find out if it can be unlocked or not go here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone%2Fbootloader%2Funlock-your-device-b
At the Moto site they will guide you on how to generate the code they want you to send them. You have to sign in to their site to use that function though. After I finally figured out what to type in the CMD window it generated that code and I edited it down to one long line of numbers and give it to the page. In seconds I had an email with the unlock code inside.
Unlocking it seems to help with uninstalling some of the built in stuff, before I could only disable most of the apps that come with it. The apps are still probably on there I just have to factory reset it and they'll come back. Now however the removed apps don't show as using any internal storage, all the apps info numbers go to 0 bytes, but still even doing that it's still over 10GB of unmovable data. When it should really be more like 2-3 GB for the entire system. I hate how Google just inserts itself in your life even when you don't want it at all.
I anyone passing by reading this post needs more details please let me know and I'll try to get the information or even data files from the phone. Would a copy of it's stock firmware be of any help? If so let me know how I would go about saving a copy of it. I'll keep looking for answers but it seems this phone is not high on the priority list or is new or something. So there is only scam guides trying to tell you "How to unlock your phone" or "Install TWRP on Motorola devices" and other clearly click bait sites. I can't even find the stock rom for it on Motorola's site, just outdated versions from 2016, with different build numbers, that can't be right.
All I know is unlocking the bootloader was the first step on all the guides and I've done that. Got a warranty voided notice and everything. There currently isn't a custom recovery mod for this model as far I can tell. If I can ever find that then I can try Linage or just debloat Android 11 which is probably the safer and easier option provided I can find that Custom Covery'.
When it boots up now, it has to tell me it's unlocked and all the dangers it poses. Dangerous if you cared about what was on it I suppose. There is nothing on it I can't just copy back over to it, other than the stock operating system.
Oh yeah, it's model number and other side of the box information is:
Model Name: Moto G PURE
SKU: MO-XT21634-AJB (MOXT21634AJB)
Software Version RRH31.Q3-46-20
Production date was 12/15/2021
I'm not sure what other information to include.

hey i just came up on one of these today, nice phone considering... Any luck with trying to find a custom recovery? I have been looking as well but development seems pretty sparse right now. I am in the same boat as you, unlocked bootloader, locked everything else lol. I cant even find a way to root it without TWRP! I am curious if one of the other moto G series phones would have the same TWRP? Also check this out. It sounds legit but IDK...https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-motorola-g-pure-xt2163/

Well I was able to use Magisk to "root" it with the patched boot file trick, but still that's not the same thing as I did before with a Samsung phone and the CWM recovery deal. That gave the user all the control they wanted. Even though the phone claims I have root access, I'm not sure what to do with Magisk's root trick. I still don't see a way to backup or install a different operating system or just a blank Android 11 OS. My knowledge there is limited and there isn't a custom recovery for this model as far as I can tell.
So I still can't wipe the drive or remove the OEM partition that contains the installers for the bundled stuff. I'd still need some form of interface that has more features than the stock Fastboot and Bootloader modes offer I guess, or I just don't know how to use the software tools correctly. It's still locked even with root as far as I can tell but if there is something more I'm missing or an additional app to install for example, like SU. Is that still a thing? If I'm on the right track let me know.

Thanks for the reply!!! I am speaking from a place of semi-ignorance here but I would thing that you could install SuperSU from inside the system, right? As long as the root binary is there...idk though and from what I hear, chainfire is not responsible for SuperSU anymore so it has become somewhat sketchy. I saw a post (about this phone, I think) that mentioned having to install terminal emulator and running root command from there to achieve legit root after flashing the patched boot.img. I will see if I can find the post again and update you. Is there anyway you could post the boot.img? Or give me a link for it?

Well I can try and learn how to extract the phones information to my computer. I don't know how to do that exactly. The way I was able to get a hold of the phones stock firmware data was by using Lenovo's Smart Rescue and Recovery software.
You have to enable usb debugging mode, attach the phone to the computer with the software running and make sure that you didn't disable/delete Device Help. That app is what makes the Lenovo software work, otherwise the Recovery software fails to see the phone. If it sees the phone correctly then you can see the preselected target firmware it wants you to download under the Rescue tab along the top.
So I did that and grabbed the files it created without actually applying them to the device. The whole thing is a little over 2GB and difficult to host but I put the stock boot.img file here for anyone who needs it. If anyone wants all the files I can try to upload the whole thing one file at at time. That's the way it was sent to me, an uncompressed folder. If I zip it all up and try to upload it most sites will say file size exceeded. Anyway here's the link...

Thanks I was able to patch it with Magisk and achieve root. It looks like Magisk is an SU manager anyway. I have never used it before so this is a first for me. The root and bootloader unlock seem a little pointless without any recovery or ROM though....I guess it's time to learn how to compile one lol
I just picked up the Moto G Pure (XT2163-4) Android 11 aka Red Velvet Cake *sounds yummy lol*....I've been searching around and not seen any info about any rooting method for this device....besides the "Root All Motorola Phones" crap...and I don't feel like risking making a paper weight with it. Even on here it doesn't show up in the...add device list....was going to add to my profile...but can't.

Yeah now we're on the same page then. I thought the same thing, not much use to have an unlocked boot loader and root access without software to make use of it. I gave the phone to my nieces to play with for now, but it's with in arms reach if I need it for instructions yet to be defined. I should receive updates to this post if anyone else responds.

Yeah appears it was produced in late 2021 or sold at that time so it's new and no one has made any custom firmware's or recoveries for it as far as I know. I don't know how to do that, requires computer programming skills. I don't have any of those.

I feel your pain! Had mine a few days and of course came to XDA immediately to find the DL on this joint but no luck... Ya I definitely don't recommend one click root method for this. If you want, I can post/link the patched boot.img i made with magisk. Mine boots with it and have confirmed root.

Excellent, it's nice to be caught up with everyone else haha!! I am going to do some digging and posting and whatnot to try to find some info on porting a recovery for this model. I feel like it can't be too different from at least one or two of the other G series phones. I will see updates as well so please post if you come up with anything!!
BTW does anyone know the process of creating a device page for this joint?! I think this phone is definitely worth some development...

Good luck finding anything that will load onto the phone. Seems like it would be possible to install LineageOS on it if nothing else. You'd think by now installing a phone's operating system would be similar to how operating systems are installed on other computers. All I get is invalid signature, way to much security (for them) on phone OS'es. With phones and PDA's apparently you can't just find the OS you want to use and install it. Where's the generic and bloat free Andriod 11 stock OS/firmware at? No such thing? It's either "Gaggles" way or nothing apparently.

Good luck finding anything that will load onto the phone. Seems like it would be possible to install LineageOS on it if nothing else. You'd think by now installing a phone's operating system would be similar to how operating systems are installed on other computers. All I get is invalid signature, way to much security (for them) on phone OS'es. With phones and PDA's apparently you can't just find the OS you want to use and install it. Where's the generic and bloat free Andriod 11 stock OS/firmware at? No such thing? It's either "Gaggles" way or nothing apparently.

Ya I'm definitely not going to try anything on the actual device, (ESPECIALLY if I am trying to put it together myself) but I am pretty sure you can test that stuff on a virtual system. Some kind of android emulator or whatever. As for a stock/debloated/de-odexed ROM, I haven't seen one but that couldn't be all that difficult to put together, right? I mean as long as the patched boot.img is included anyway. I feel like a recovery would be a higher priority though...? BTW, I have never used Lineage before, how is it?

I feel your pain! Had mine a few days and of course came to XDA immediately to find the DL on this joint but no luck... Ya I definitely don't recommend one click root method for this. If you want, I can post/link the patched boot.img i made with magisk. Mine boots with it and have confirmed root.

I would also like the patched boot.img if it is for the XT2163-4. Thanks
Hey boys I actually got rid of the moto g pure...for now at least lol! GREAT phone and I would be willing to get it back once there is some dev work done on it...will definitely be watching the threads on it. Good luck boys!!!
Hi
I read the above posts, and it seems like even if I am able to root it using Magisk, I won't be able to flash it with custom rom?
Thank you Agent_Orange1488 for the posts.
