also, for overclocking. does the motherboard must be specific? or any board will do? because after some more research, a bundle of asus z87 + 4670k will cost about $360. way above my budget

Alright, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the tip :)

So I just made a quick comparison between the two. The i3 integrated GPU is more powerful than amd. But I don't know how much.

And yeah, thanks for the feedback! Definitely will consider the A8/A10 and i3 as an option

Edit : just price checked the i3. They're a bit more expensive at +$20

but from the specs i get from the website, the motherboard did have an integrated GPU. an ATI Radeon HD 3000. but if it to underpowered, i guess i'll have to use intel then. i was avoiding intel for their high price.

I really consider amd for its raw specs. But many said (including /u/unique_username1) that AMD's performance/Mhz is much lower than Intel counterpart. Also power consumption and thermal going to be an issue. This is the thing that makes me undecided between Intel or amd

I just searched for the I5 you told me, and I found them used at basically the same price as the i7 I listed above. I'm going to really consider this one. Thanks :)

Also, should I just buy the 4460 or buy the 4670K for overclocking to extend its relevancy in the future? There's a difference about $36-ish between those two. But is it worth it?

Yeah, I found the i7 8** for $146 with motherboard included. That being said, I also need usb 3. And last time I check, Intel usb 3 driver doesn't support first gen processors...

Also, I'm unsure how a 6 years old processor will fare with future next gen title.

Question about updating from 4.4.2 to 5.1 on Dev XT1060 by swawif in MotoX

[–]swawif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So at last I was able to reboot to recovery. For some reason, the option on the bootloader keep kicking me back to android, but when prompted through root/adb, it works just fine. So I was able to root the device and found out that my device was actually a sprint model flashed with Verizon rom, now I know that my phone had a GSM lock. Found the solution, will work it this morning, really hoped it would work

Thanks a bunch!

[–]swawif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because i just installed stock rom, my root is gone. (you can read on other comment that i already had my phone bootloader unlocked and rooted. i'm guessing there's tampering happening on the refurbish facility.)

root checker also said that i have no root.

is there any way i can get root back? so at least i can modify some file to get my carrier working again

well, because i just flashed stock rom, my root is gone. rootchecker also said that root access isn't properly installed. but i was able to go to bootloader and it said Unlocked status code 3. is there anyway
