Root [CDMA] Get ready for OTA's!

Working cm12 for moto g!!!!
The rom is here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3036120
Per Meticulus...
"I'm not ready to post my changes... It's very "Hack and Slash" ATM but this is how I fixed it: Since we did not know the proper values for: subId, slotId, and phoneId. I just supposed that they should all be zero. Everywhere it asks for those values I just "return 0;". I also bypassed every validity check for those values. Then where ever it asked for "operator numeric" or "operator alpha" i had it read it from system property. Also, the Boost Mobile APN is marked disabled in the telephony database and SQL statement for retrieving APNs specified "enabled =1". I removed that part so it would search for APN's even if they were disabled.My patches are real dirty right now... Over the next few days, I'll work to clean them up... "

I'm still unable to apply these patches to AOSPA due to his repo being private.

He just released the kernel source.

So ready to have other options than CM12! Don't get me wrong, I'll take CM12 over stock experience any day, but there are so many other better roms in my opinion.

OK, I know I can be quite dense. And maybe I missed it in my overly exhausted state. So forgive me if someone explained it already.

I noticed it was mentioned that to optain root you have to flash SuperSU. That is simple enough. The question is, where can I obtain this flashable version of SuperSU?

Meticuls has kept his repo private. I'm not at xda but can you ask him to make it public.

I would like to build a cm12.1 for the device as soon as they release it

As starkraving mentioned a few posts above, he has released the kernel source. Is this what you need? Also, 5.1 r_3 has commits for no sim and is mostly sim fixes. CDMA might just be fixed by itself in the newest 5.1

Cdma fixes won't be in the kernel source. I just wished that meticulus made his GitHub repo public. It's all I need to build a working 5.1 with 3G cdma

Also 5.1 r3 won't fix 3G on cdma at least so his repo would be greatly appreciated

I believe his repo is public now as well..

Just so I am sure. The order I flash Lollipop onto this phone is Partition updater, ROM and then finally SuperSU.

And if I want to make sure I can go back to 4.4.4 I don't flash the partition updater.

Yes

 

[bfldworker]

Yes

Thank you Sir. I really appreciate this.

 

[bfldworker]

And one more question. If I were to flash partition updater and then decide to reinstall 4.4.4 how would I go about doing that?

[bfldworker]

I gotta say, I like it. Thanks for the work you put into this.

Next up 5.1

You may be able to run 4.4.4 with the 5.0.2 partitions (not sure if anyone has tried), but you can't downgrade your bootloader once you update it.

@SuperR have you ever wondered or maybe know why we don't have SBF/RDSLite support for this phone? That was a life saver on a lot Motorola Androids.

This is actually my first Moto device so I have never even used rds lite. Maybe Google dropped support for it when they acquired Moto?

That's a possibility ... Sure was a great tool though.

 

[hitesh123]

RSD lite 6.1.x is supported for Moto G.
I personally tried on 6.1.6

Did you make your own sbf files or just convert the factory images?

 

[hitesh123]

Stock factory XML file is used.
