Saferoot-moto is a quick and easy method to root the Bionic without a complicated Linux setup.  It can also be integrated into the House of Moto so that it can be selected from the HoM menu.

Hey, Sam,

 

Just ran into this for another app, and I thought it would be a great way to allow users to synchronize to latest builds of your custom-made apps - of course, it would be a slight PITA to set up, and I suspect you don't really want to use your own personal bandwidth for it, but it's still a very neat and intriguing idea....

I use MultiPar instead of Quickpar for recovering damaged volumes using .par files b/c it is multi-threaded and now working on supporting native x64 binaries.  But I just saw that now I can automatically sync the latest version via BTSync, which makes for a lot easier sync on my part.

 

I'm about to test it and see how well it works for this app.

 

Thought you'd like to see how this fascinating sync machine is being used in a very creative manner.

 

Wonder if source code repositories have started making use of BTSync yet?  Or, better yet, if they think it is worth investing time in....

 

Probably not, but still, for a private developer, such as yourself, this could go a long way to making sure users are always on the latest and greatest that you develop.

[SamuriHL]

Meh.  It's an idea, but, not one I'm going to invest time in.  If you look at my OP, you see that if people are to use this tool, I have expectations about their level of commitment.  If they can't keep the thing up to date by downloading a zip and unzipping it, well...  And it's not like I change the app all that much.  2.0 was out there for MANY months.  So, not really worth it IMO.  But still a neat idea.

[johnlgalt]

Yeah, I figured you would demure.  But the concept is pretty nifty.

 

You're absolutely right about the level of commitment, though.  This would only cater to the "I want it all,and I want it now" crowd.

[SamuriHL]

And I don't really cater to them.  The whole idea was that people would take the time to learn what the tools DO and then enjoy the automation.  As we know, that's not even close to how this worked out.  Still, it provides a service to the community, and the "entry fee" isn't too steep IMO.  Extract a zip, create a directory, extract another zip, run a jar, pick an xml file, then run a bat or sh script and follow directions.  I think that's fair.

[johnlgalt]

Of course people like you and I think it is fair.

 

But the average user wants a one stop one click solution to everything.  And too many developers have gone and done that for them.

 

it's the same with Linux - I'd venture that more than 70% of end users (read: home users) grab a distro, pick a few options and let everything install, using a HAL to load devices on boot, and making most *nix boot times not much faster than a clean Windows install boot time.

 

But, I digress.

Having an issue with the .jar it appears. Not sure what is wrong. Made it executable and it won't run if I click on it. If I run from terminal I get as follows:

Any insight? I downloaded and extracted the files as you said.

It tells you exactly what the problem is.  Your version of java is too old.  It requires 1.7 or higher.

[mccelery]

Not to blow my wad with hyperbole in my first post ever, SamuriHL, BUT YOU HAVE JUST CHANGED MY LIFE. First time in 5 months my phone boots without tethering it. And for that I am forever grateful. Thanks!

[Huli]

Hey buddy!  The new KitKat update failed and my xt926, it boots to fastboot automatically now.  I followed your instructions but cannot seem to get it going.  I was not able to find a proper FXZ download.  I have 18, I only saw 16 and 20 on the site you linked.

 

Any ideas?

 

thank you!

How To: XT926 Upgrade to KitKat OTA


Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

[TogaDuck]

Need help. I read over the directions at least 20 times and can't seem to figure out why it's not working.

 

never mind I got it to work after realizing I tried to use an older fxz

[septaric]

I've done something wrong and can't figure out what it is. When I try and run it I get a message that says "Downgraded security version, update tz version failed, preflash validation failed for tz". Any ideas?

 

Also my Version is 4.1.2 build 9.8.1q_94-1

I tried installing 4.1.2. build 9.8.1q_62_VQW_MR-2_V

 

Does it have to be the same version?

You have two major problems.  Trying to downgrade.  And didn't read the installation instructions.

[septaric]

I read the instruction for two different nights. You could tell me what I did wrong, beside the wrong version.

[SamuriHL]

Failure to read and follow the directions is NOT a defect of the tool!

 

[REQUIRED if you have an OMAP or Snapdragon device UNLESS you plan on ONLY using RSD mode]

o) If you have an OMAP device (xt875, xt912, etc), you MUST extract

 to your FXZ_xt#### directory

 to your FXZ_xt#### directory

 

P.S. If you don't end up with Windows, Darwin, and Linux folders in your FXZ_xt#### directory, you did it wrong.

 

You could have, you know, just read the instructions like I said to do.

[septaric]

OK, after about 15 different tries I must have gotten it right. It loaded and the phone is back to normal now. Thanks for the help. I pulled my hair out on this one. I think it was a matter of interrupting the wording here and there. ONce again thanks for your program and your help.

[narrowminded]

Is it normal for it to get stuck in < waiting for device > for a long time?

[SamuriHL]

Waiting for device means it's not seeing it in AP Fastboot mode.  That's an issue you need to fix with your machine.
