Root 4.4 droid maxx

I recently upgraded my droid maxx to 4.4, is there a root method out there yet? id like to get the wireless tethering (i have unlimited data)
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Mustang02:
Not at this time.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Jewveeski:
I was going to root via this exploit today until i saw the prompt for the update. This is a great device I'm sure there will be a root method for 4.4 soon. And to whom that may be who makes it possible thanks in advance I can't wait.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] drewkozicki:
I agree

I tried this method with kitkat and all I got was "[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES" error. I would imagine 4.4 has some security blocking the installing of this app. Anyhow I hope there is some good news that this is fixable. Thank you in advance.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] firefighteremt18:
Hello I was wondering I have the Droid MAXX and have the RockMyMoto Root and have noticed that there is a new OTA update to upgrade to 4.4 kitkat. My question is can I install the OTA update while my phone is rooted or is there a way to unroot from RockMyMoto and then install the new update. I know there is no root for the new update and i am fine with that for now. Can anyone help me out with an anwser of some sort thank you.

so i accidentally selected to accept the OTA update to 4.4 kitkat rather than install later which I have been doing know for several days and now my Droid MAXX is stuck in a boot loop and I am using RSD Lite to try and flash my phone and i keep getting a failed flashing process. 1\16 flash partition "gpt.bin"-> Phone returned FAIL. can some one help me. I am doing it with windows 7 and through a usb 2.0 port cause I know it wont work with 3.0 usb ports. Or is there any way to stop the boot loop. Please Help.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Sir..are you using a (deleted) "getvar" line FXZ..I have not attempted to FXZ back to stock for 4.4 because I'm awaiting Root exploit..So..since you are on, 4.4 non-rootable, a bootloop should be curable with an FXZ to stock 4.4..my guess is, that the "getvar" line will have to be deleted, just as we had to do with 4.2.2. so as the FXZ would be compatible with the Droid Maxx..

Yeah I was on a root 4.2.2 and when the new 4.4 OTA Update came out my phone kept asking me if i wanted to install it but I would just delay it every time and have been doing that for a week now, but today when it asked me to install or install later I accidentally pressed install now instead of install later and then my phone shut down and is now in a boot loop. I am trying to use the latest 4.2.2 stock update to try and flash back to and I have been deleting the getvar line but i am using an xml file I dont know what a FXZ is. But every time I start it to try and flash, it begins its thing and when it starts the first portion of flashing i get this message back "failed flashing process. 1\16 flash partition "gpt.bin"-> Phone returned FAIL.":crying:
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Sir..Have you used the "FXZ" before, that you are attempting to use now, the (4.2.2_12.15.15) and getting the failure notification..You mention the word "deleting"..once you delete the "getvar" line..you save the xml and never need to delete the line again, because its gone forever..so to speak..

FYI..in the future..if one has Root on one's device, one can purchase Titanium Backup Pro..and freeze the Update function..and the hassle goes away..one would need to unfreeze the Update function, and then except the OTA..reducing the chance to almost 0 of updating accidentally..but must have Root first..

FXZ is the "new" term used, use to be call SBF..in the FXZ..one uses the XML file to restore..It is confusing, Yes..but thats the way it is.. :)

The acronym FXZ = FULL XML ZIP

okay that clears up a little bit. But yeah I downloaded the 4.2.2_12.15.15 from this link: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4

When I extracted it i deleted the getvar line in the xml fille and saved it. then open it in rsd lite then i attach my phone when it is at the fastboot then i hit start and I get that error.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Einsteindks:
Once you start into KK, you cannot flash (back) to restore 4.2.2. Find yourself the FXZ for developer Maxx, and flash into KK. I've read somewhere that is the only option. No, no root, but you will end up with real KK os.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] firefighteremt18:
I have tryed flashing into the 4.4 but the thing is it never even tried to install the update it just shut down and restarted and is in a non stop boot loot. i was able to go into my phones system info really quick before it restarted and the phone is still on 4.2.2_12.15.15
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Yeh..what he says.. :)

I have attached a link to my known good FXZ for 4.2.2_12.15.15, with the "getar" mod..download and try this one, possible bad download, or corrupt file, not known good, probably not, but to make sure, my friend here is most likely correct..I have not tried the new 4.4 FXZ, simply because I'm waiting to Root my 4.2.2.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B67RS0BDBp_iVVh0LWpoNzNIMEE/edit?usp=docslist_api

My friend here, may could chime in again, and share his opinion on the new FXZ, if maybe your boot is corrupt, and maybe use the new 4.4 FXZ to go ahead into 4.4 BUT without the possibility of Root..

But maybe try my link first..and try to restore back to 4.2.2

Certainly wouldn't hurt to try..before attempting to move to 4.4 against your will..

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Caseyk621:
The problem is that the root exploit you used hijacks stock recovery. So you do not have a recovery to apply any update. Do you have titanium back up? If so you need to quickly navigate to and freeze motorolaOTA. It may take you a couple tries as you're in a bootloop. That should stop the bootloop. If not you may also have to freeze updater.

If you don't have titanium back then I don't know. Maybe use your file explorer to navigate to data/cache where you'll find the update zip. Should be named with 12.15.15. You'll see it. And delete it. That may work.

Maybe try this and report back. We can go from there.

I saw a page or so back the link with instructions from going to 4.4 and maintaining root, but the starting point is the update before 4.4. I never updated from when I got my maxx, so I never installed the camera/google drive update before kit kat.

How exactly do I update to 12.15.15 without bricking my phone? Do I unroot? The only things I've changed are the wireless charging sound, carrier check for tether, and have xposed stuff installed.

I'm sort of familiar with rooting and all of this, but I always had easily rootable phones in the past (Droid->Incredible->Gnex) so I'm not as used to all of this exploit stuff.

New to the maxx, but not new to android.

Ok, I just want to confirm a few things before I just go screwing stuff up.

First, I am on 12.7.7

Can I use the APK above to and just install it like in the "Moto X" video's for root? As I read the above it looks like J is just using ADB to push the apk onto the device.

Next, I have to turn off write protection using the adb command above?

Then, I have to use Slapmymoto to go to 12.15.15 then to 4.4?

I just want to confirm I have read all this right.
