    Source for stock Maxx firmware?

    Wrong and wrong again. Bootloader is easily unlocked once you get the code and the version was the most updated at the time of the posting. Hey, do me a favor and don't quote me unless you know what you are talking about. Go bag on somebody else or shut up.

    Source for stock Maxx firmware?

    If you are really, really, really stuck you can use Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant to get a Mulligan on your Droid Maxx. Use the "REPAIR" option and pray that your PC can find the phone in Bootloader mode. Now, the real kicker of it is that once you have taken the OTA upgrade to...

    Moving files to Linux desktop?

    Way, way simple.... get a gmail account, upload all of your files to your free google drive from your phone's web browser (chrome isn't the fastest browser, but it will let you transfer entire folders at one time - rather than one file at a time). USE WiFi unless have mobile data to burn...

    DROID MAXX: Lollipop Update News

    I do not expect Motorola to ever again upgrade the Droid Maxx (xt1080m Obake). The logic is simple: - Droid Maxx was the flagship device in 2013 - Hardware / software intercept has come and gone (very, very gone) - Motorola is a corporation that intends to make a profit, they do not operate as a...

    When will the Verizon Droid Maxx get the 5.0 Lollipop update?

    here is the list of devices slated for update, according to Nec3f's hyperlink to Motorola's Official Blog. As you can see, the Verizon Droid Maxx is NOT expected to receive an update to Marshmallow (maybe not even to Lollipop - I suspect): 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen) 2015 Moto X Style...

    Proximity Sensor

The case slides into and out of my pocket without grabbing and there is virtually no sound distortion (which was a show-stopper with the discontinued Incipio Atlas...

    Note 3 Lollipop Update problems and solutions

    07/25/2015 - Note 3 was on Lollipop and battery life dropped to a mere 2 hours. Verizon and Samsung both gave the the same answer, "Sucks to be you...." and "No roll-back is possible...." So today I downloaded NJ6 version from sammobile and successfully flashed with Odin 3.09 - YEAH!!! (Die...
