Oke i'm going to give some links, you definatly are not ready to unlock root and flash at the moment. Sounds stupid but you have to read a lot more before you start !
Some tips of the working order
1 : unlock the bootloader on the htcdev site
2 : flash the custom cwm recovery
3 : do a nandroid backup of the original rom (the one that's on it now) IMPORTANT !
Links are coming up ......
Read this very good and even a couple of times so that you understand what it all means. Questions you can ask here. I will keep an eye on this thread for support :thumbup:

But don't you want to stay on stock for a while untill you had the jellybean update ? Because you want to root it now .... and you will be back in a few days/weeks to get it back to stock because you want the JB update !

The link you posted is for the at&t version of the phone. You should use tools made for the international one x.

Call me oldfashion but when you learn to understand the tutorial including the commands you are better off than some all in one tool. Don't get me wrong. But knowing the commands can get you out of very bad situations !

Well if the new update would be soon. i think i can wait.. no rush then Thanks for that tip
Yeah well do not know when the update hits your phone ....
But if its a brand new one i would keep it stock for a while and see if there are not some small errors or flaws popping up. Unlocking and rooting may void some warranty
And in the meantime you can spend some time here and read up on things. And Mr Hahahaha is right about the AT&T forum....stay away from there. This forum is the one you need (its a different phone) the AT&T version is a dual-core and the international HTC one x is a quad-core phone !

If you're using a custom ROM, then just dirty flash it again. Eg. If you're using cm14 with arise sound mod, just flash cm14 zip again from recovery without wiping anything.

So, if you've installed soundmod then you've obviously rooted and have a custom recovery. So, just search for stock ROM zip and dirty flash it over the previous ROM. BTW which recovery do you use?

hey there XDA' ians ,
I am thinking of purchasing this device... I will be shifting from Asus Zenfone 2 to Motorola Z Play in a few days & i want to clear some queries before buying it....
1) If we root our device by latest current method is it possible to receive OTA.. In Asus zenfone 2,we had 2 root methods...If we rooted by 1 method we could update via OTA and if rooted by the 2nd method we couldnt update our device via OTA.... I am new to Moto family.... Can we apply the OTA if we root our device or we have to un-root and undo all the modifications & stuff done after rooting?
2) And if by any chance i end up bricking my new Moto Z Play after trying to root it...How will be able to un-brick my device and revert it to stock...Can someone help me with un-bricking and flashing the stock rom back to moto... And if possible can you share the download link for the stock rom... I will be buying the Indian version of Moto Z Play which has dual sim support...
Thank you guys....Really appreciate your help

so i just saw that there is no way to relock the bootloader on this phone once you've unlocked it. which i wish I had read beforehand. I guess i just assumed it would be possible since there were firmware images out there.
now to my question: is there anyway to bypass this to use Android Pay? i would really like to be able to use it. thank you to anyone that responds.

My understanding is android pay checks for a rooted phone, I believe you'll need to run seamless root method. There's tons of threads about running Android pay

Hi there,
I'm wondering if you can direct me to a good guide to installing a good audio software. The phone ships with the crappy Audio Effects app which doesn't even allow custom EQ. In particular I'm looking at viper4android but I'm open to any that will work with this phone.
Secondly, will installing viper4android negatively impact battery? I've seen a few references to this. Thanks

Screenshot Shutter Sound
Hi, has anyone found a way to disable the shutter sound when taking a screenshot on the Moto Z Play?
Sometimes it doesn't do it but haven't found why exactly.
The other way is to use "Total Silence" under Do Not Disturb settings but it's bothersome.
Is there built-in call recorder in Moto Z Play's dialer or do we need a separate call recorder to record imp calls?
Can someone please help me with this. I bought 2 of these phones at the same time in august, one was already rooted from the factory! No problem I'm using lucky patcher and all. The other will not root not matter what I do! I cant find any solid info on this.

Can you screen shot your kernel information in settings and then about phone so I can see what it says for the rooted kernel. And copying the entire system to use it on the other phone is possible. Just depends on certain things.
I guess I should of bought a rooted one myself...........
think that no one has the root yet on this phone, so, pay attention to the instructions that forum masters will give to you. You could be a HERO for the entire Sm-n920a community and users hahahah. Btw, i don't know your knowledge about this things but yes, is possible to do this. Obvious, when someone of the biggest users will teach you how to do what you need, you could share the system clone with us!
Not to mention there's a big donation for anyone that finds a root method. So if you really have a rooted at&t note 5 there could be money coming your way.

Do you have a username? I got another member to join in again who says he knows how to complie kernels with ease. So lets hope this gets going! Everything is layed out we just need to get the code written. Remember anything is possible when you put you're mind to it, but this is with code. Kexec has worked in the past for locked bootloaders so I don't see why my notes in theory but plausible.

Can we get a system dump of your partitions? We just need your kernel zImage and I can put it together.
I'd really like to see a dump of the system partition.
Follow a guide a make a full system dump of your rooted phone and then make a nandroid backup.
Upload it to us and we can make a clone. Please!

There's no root for AT&T Note 5 SM-N920A if you are running Marshmallow with the Nov security update! If you are on this version you are screwedededed!!!! I tried every type of way to install firmwares PH4 ==> PH2 and I tried every version of firmware I could find on this planet. I have tried OGG. I have tried crashing my installation, then trying to downgrade.
Long story short; If you have an unlocked SM-N920A running Android 6.01 with Nov Security Patch I will definitely be donating to you if you upload. If you aren't a member of this forum I promise you that you are safe. The guys here will help you make a copy of the firmware which will not include your personal information. (Look for the guys with lots of Thanks, listen to them)
So if you are coming in from Google and you are wondering if you can root or downgrade now you know that you can't. I'm a beginner Android Developer who follows directions like a champion, save your time trying to downgrade it is fully blocked by the bootloader.
unlocked SM-920A upload coming soon

I will have my phone unlocked tomorrow by AT&T. I currently have the SM-N920A running Android 6.01 with the Nov Sec Patch.
I have an unlocked 5.1.1 PE
I have a nokia X7 for now around two weeks and I quite good with it.
But i wonder is someone has tried or know about if it is possible to flash the pure android one version. The one that comes in the 8.1 global version on the X7.

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

Tks.

Please keep us updated if you could. I am planning to buy an X7 to save some money. Its 150$ cheaper in my country. Minus the 15$ service, this is not bad!
Thank you!

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.

I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

Hi,
Sorry, I've never done that before, but if I understand correctly, it's working.
I opened up Google Maps, selected Location Sharing and selected to share via a link.
I can open that link on my PC and see it, so I think it's working

About OTA update
moreph34r said:
Ah sorry, the price must've increased. It was $10 at the time of writing.
And yes, I got an OTA update to January's security update straight away. I suspect it'll continue to get updates, but the Jan update is the latest so can't say much right now

your answer is very useful for me. I want to buy this phone but I don't know is the OTA update successful? Could you tell me about it?
I am new here and new to the custom rom scene. I am looking for some help with my new phone.
I bought a new Motorola G7 Optimo (XT1952DL) (Its about all I could afford) It came with Android 9 which is what I want. However, it auto updated itself to Android 10 which I do not want.
Android 10 has made recording phone calls, (which IS legal in my country/state, basically impossible. I need this feature more than any other feature I can think of right now.
I have been told that downgrading back to Android 9 is not possible. I am wondering a couple things and I hope someone here will be kind enough to help Me.
1. Does anyone know of any way (paid app or otherwise) on Android 10 that I can record my calls, non speaker phone, without alerting the other party they are being recorded? (Again I live in a 1 party state which means I dont have to inform the other person I am recording and for obvious reasons I would like them to not know because I feel like this will either make them just lie, hang up, block my calls, or something similar.)
2. If this is no longer possible on Android 10 does anyone know how to downgrade to Android 9 and make it so that my phone will not automatically install Android 10 on its own?
3. If neither is possible for whatever reason, I would be interested in using a custom rom that would allow this feature and possibly add more features. The problem is that I dont know which is the best rom or how to install a custom rom, although I am very good with computers, so a little hand holding would be necessary.
** Not sure if this is allowed but I would be willing to donate a small tip in USD via paypal or something if someone could successfully help Me with this task. Call recording is something I feel should be standard as anyone can just simply lie to You or scam You on the phone and without proof You are kinda screwed.
- Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc. I hope this is a good community to help Me with my problem. - Regards

The device might be downgradable but you would need to unlock the bootloader.
Or there maybe a root option with the bootloader unlocked.

Well ...
Well the software Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant did in fact wipe and reset my phone to "factory" but it kept Android 10 eventhough it shipped with Android 9 so basically it didnt work.
If I loaded my phone with Cynogen (sp) or something similar that is based off Android 9 would that work? If so do You know of a link to a tutorial on installing that or have a recommendation on which to use?
- Thanks!

No lmsa will not downgrade firmware.
Factory reset only wipes user data it doesn't change firmware.

If you want to downgrade firmware you need to use
RSD Lite or fastboot.exe and bootloader will need to be unlocked before downgrade.
