I plan on just flashing the stock recovery from the restore package using rsd lite. I heard you can either flash them with rsd light or you can flash them in fastboot since they are signed images.

[Moto X Original Android Development] htowngator:
Thanks, what version of RSD Lite are you using? 5.7?
[Moto X Original Android Development] kent1146:
The usual.

Either wait until someone has released a root / exploit for the new version, or has confirmed that OTA Rootkeeper works.

For the actual upgrade, I plan on RSDLite'ing back to stock (and rooting it if OTA Rootkeeper is required), and then just letting the OTA update process run.

I like to wait for someone to confirm a rooting process before running any OTA update. To me, having a known-stable rooted phone is more valuable than having the latest version of android. Especially since 4.3 and 4.4 seem to be rather non-major incremental upgrades over 4.2
[Moto X Original Android Development] :
4.4 is going to be an non-major incremental upgrade? You must know what the new features Kit-Kat will be! Please do share the link to where you were revealed this extraordinary light and knowledge!
[Moto X Original Android Development] graffixnyc:
I have 5.5, I haven't done it yet as there is no need. If 5.5 doesn't work I'll get 5.7
[Moto X Original Android Development] jimmypop13:
So dumb. But back to the point, 4.3 has a lot of advantages over 4.2 like trim. I'm sure 4.4 will have a lot of great new features too. Even though they look similar, I'd hate to be stuck on 4.2.2 when I know 4.3 is available
[Moto X Original Android Development] murso74:
I think there's an article on Tom's hardware that explains how the x has its own version of trim. Forgot where the link was though
[Moto X Original Android Development] :
I'm dumb? It was just a bit if sarcasm. Is it to early for that? The real point is we have no idea what 4.4 will bring. They may introduce project personal pleasure or possibly project espresso (oops, more sarcasm). To say the next version of Android will be an incremental upgrade is just stupid. It's not like guessing what the next version of iOS will be like.
[Moto X Original Android Development] bso44:
I think the point is that if it was a major overhaul, it would probably be called 5.0.
[Moto X Original Android Development] :
You must not have been around for the Froyo-Gingerbread transition. .1 can make a difference.
[Moto X Original Android Development] bso44:
Sure it can make a difference but it depends on your definition of major vs incremental. A 0.1 change has historically been mostly changes under the hood. I think calling Jelly Bean to Kit Kat incremental is underselling it but I doubt there's going to be a major change. Probably somewhere in the middle.

IIRC, the Moto X implements trim immediately upon delete rather than on a schedule like 4.3 devices.
[Moto X Original Android Development] COLJ04:
Quick question about the exploits used. Will deodexing the ROM cause any issues with the used exploits? Or is deodexing possible? Just trying to get rolling on at least some Dev work.

on Sprint with a unlocked BL, it stops when trying to reboot says "command not set" . So just two hard resets and all is well.
[Moto X Original Android Development] pyro6128:
the camera update blocked PwnMyMoto. It can only be installed on the original stock Moto X firmware. You'll need RockMyMoto, unless you upgraded to Kit Kat already.
[Moto X Original Android Development] bajasur:
This is what I'm getting.
[Moto X Original Android Development] pyro6128:
Yea, your phone is probably on the updated camera firmware so this can't be installed. Check your firmware version against the camera firmware version number for your carrier.

Has 4.4 been rooted on locked bootloaders yet?
[Moto X Original Android Development] djnifos:
I think jcase is waiting for all of them to be released officially so they don't patch his exploit. Just a hunch though.

Unfortunatly....

[Moto X Original Android Development] djnifos:
That's a bummer. Could have sworn I saw him tweet that he was running rooted 4.4 a while back.
[Moto X Original Android Development] jimmiet:
He said he was rooted on the AT&T 4.4 leak, but had no plans on doing another release. However, he did say RockMyMoto wasn't another release, just PwnMyMoto minus one vulnerability. So who knows?

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

Look at the conversation after that specific tweet...JCase getting all mysterious n stuff... 0.o Lol
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
He is running a rooted 4.4 device. :| He just said he has no plans on publishing the exploit. Honestly, if he doesn't--then I don't know who will. There are like, zero devs for the MotoX. It really sucks hard. :(
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
a way to maintain root and take 4.4 or a SS compatible 4.4 rom are our best options at the moment.
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
I don't think there will be a way to keep it through the OTA--apparently, it checks to make sure nothing in the system has been messed with.

I didn't want to mess with SafeStrap. It sounds like a lot of trouble and plus, we'll lose some of our available storage. I got a 16GB model because I didn't think I'd have to deal with that kinda shiz.
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
im running it right now and it isn't a lot of trouble at all. you also don't lose that much data. its just when you create a lot of backups. you just have to create partitions for each rom slot you create which takes up data. but the majority of the data you use on the phone is stored in a general area so you have basically the same amount of storage. unless you create 6 rom slots or something. imo, root is worth it more than getting 4.4. not having root makes my life miserable. mainly having security for my exchange accounts makes it a huge pain. having a pin password and having to encrypt the device. also, not being able to do just random things that make my life easier. like using tasker to turn gps on automaticaly when opening certain apps, etc.
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
I'm gonna hold off for a few more weeks. I'm mainly waiting for Xposed Framework to support KitKat first. Once that happens, I'll start worrying about root. I really truly hope someone comes out with a method for rooting. You think Jcase would publish his newer method if we sent him lots of money? I'm legit thinking of sending him $50. I figured if we asked him what the "price" for publishing the method is--maybe if enough people sent him enough money, he'd publish it.
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
i don't think it is as easy as just giving him money. he already knows that people will pay if he waits to create an exploit as they did last time. he said 1% chance still knowing that he could get money, so he probably took that into account when saying 1% chance. I think the 1% is if some easy exploit is seen by some other dev or himself that he can't believe it is that easy, so he releases a simple tool to root. or if a couple people create various exploits he can compile into an easy app then he might do it. It's 1% because the likelihood of such an easy exploit just appearing isn't that likely.

Also, when he gets root on a phone, that doesn't mean that he could get everyone root with the phone, or that the root would even be sustainable. You can have root on a device without turning write protect mode off. further, with the new security checks 4.4 runs (SELinux) it might be extrmely difficult to trick the system into thinking nothing in your system directory has been altered. Lot so fpeople are predicting that this could be the end of easy app exploits because of this.

4.4 changed a lot of security stuff. it will take some time for devs to get fully knowledgeable on everything. I have such little hope, that im considering selling my locked device to go get an unlocked device just so i don't have to worry about exploits ever again. will cost me about $100 after selling and putting that towards a dev phone, so if you are willing to fork out 50 you might just consider forking out another 50 to get a dev phone. Brand new dev phones on vzw are selling for 550 i think. you can probably sell your phone for 400 or maybe more maybe less depending on who it is too... just another option
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
He said there is a 1% of him publishing the exploit. He said he ALREADY knows of the exploit, and that it wasn't patched in this OTA for Verizon. In other words, he's holding out. When asked why, he said "time/energy/update frequency/money". I think money is da motive; so, if we paid him, he'd do it. also, I have a MotoMaker MotoX. I don't want to sell the thing--I've only had it for a week. :(
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
oh. i never read the time energy money thing. if that is true, then money will certainly solve the problem. But the time energy part may be that he knows of the exploit but it would take lots of time and energy to figure out a way to make an apk or simple tutorial to run it. He doesn't use windows so it would be linux based. All I know is him knowing of an exploit is one thing, being able to make that exploit run on everyones phone with no errors could be an entirely different ball game. Like when he released motoroot, then had all of the problems he had, then released pwnmymoto. the exploit was the same, but how you turn that into a working model for multiple phones and get write protection disabled is another story.

metaphor: knowing there is a window open on the 50th story of a building is all good and well, figuring out how to easily set something up to allow people to enter that window way up there could be an entirely different ball game.
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
I think he should release his exploit assuming it would be for Mac/Linux, then let another Dev figure out how to put it to work using Windows. I myself use Linux, so that'd be okay with me. :P

However, that's an awesome metaphor. I wholeheartedly agree.
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
im sure he and many others know of the exploit. its probably something that they all share with each other, he probably has even reported it to microsoft like the exploit he used for pwnmymoto (he reported almost a year before he released pwnmymoto). I'd be fine with linux as well, but like he said, supporting his stuff would be difficult to. He could say, have it but don't ask me about why things don't work, but he probably doesn't want to do that. Either commit or don't. And i understand why he wouldn't want to. He still gets questions to this day about his exploit and what to do in certain situations lol. must be a huge PITA for him.
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
I would totally believe him saying something like "noobs annoying me with questions is why I'm not going to release another exploit". I really wouldn't blame him. His Twitter has lots of people asking for help... I feel bad.
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
just saw another thread where people were *****ing about him not releasing an exploit and he gave them a piece of his mind. also, he basically confirmed there was almost 0 chance of him releasing an exploit. looking into dev phones now lol. don't want to have to worry about root for the next year and a half i have this phone.
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
Ugh, this sucks. :(

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Can't you just keep using Safestrap for root?
[Moto X Original Android Development] jayboyyyy:
yes but its limited. a rom for 4.4 will need to be released that is SS compatible. but you won't be able to touch the BL still using SS so it might be difficult or there could be things that get updated or fixed that you won't be able to use with SS if they are located in the BL. Not sure how the new SELinux security stuff will work with SS (hashcode said SS on 4.4 may not work at all). Only time will tell, but I am patient so i just wait out the storm and see what turns up in a couple of weeks.
[Moto X Original Android Development] natezire71:
I'm sure something will happen by the end of the year... Here's to hoping.

[Moto X Original Android Development] Rodrigo Sigoli:
I have very practical questions. Could anyone help me out?

I've recently bought a Brazilian unlocked Moto X; it still hasn't arrived but I've already started reading about rooting it.

1) Should I check in the System Settings if there are any OTA updates before rooting? I've read about this bootloop issue, does it still apply?

2) In order to root it, all I have to do is run the apk in this thread?

3) And last, but not least, it is highly unlikely 4.4 is already available for us here OTA. 4.3 JB should be the one. Does this root work with any JB?

Thanks a million! :)

[Moto X Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I have the Brazilian model too. Go to Development Settings and find the Moto X Toolkit. You must use the RockMyMoto to root. Don't forget to enable USB Debugging on Development Settings before using the toolkit. There is no 4.3 for Moto X. It jumped right to 4.4 which is not yet available to Brazilian model yet :)

I saw the question asked several times, but no response (or maybe I'm missing the response). What could cause the Xposed module to fail to stick after rebooting into non-recovery mode? I can apply the module and soft-reboot to apply the changes. But, any time the phone reboots regularly, or I shut it off and turn it back on, I lose all of the tweaks I've made. I have to re-apply the framework and soft-boot to show the changes. Is that normal?
[Moto X Original Android Development] Rodrigo Sigoli:
Thanks a million for that!

[MENTION=4301147]MaKTaiL[/MENTION], when you said "find the Moto X Toolkit", you meant run it on Windows? Do I have to install any drivers so that the kit can recognize my Moto X? I wasn't really able to find it on Development Settings...

Also, on the RockMyMoto thread, it says it should be used for those who had a camera OTA update. Since my device has just arrived (and the only camera change I did was updating its app on Play Store), am I likely to find any trouble if I use RockMyMoto on the Moto X Toolkit? I have to install it via the kit, right?

Sorry for the million questions, but I would certainly not like to have a brand new beautiful white brick. :p

I just got a new phone which has build 51. I am thinking following the scheme here.

1. Root with PwnMyMoto

2. Install SuperSU Pro and turn on survival mode. Or install a Root Keeper which copy su somewhere with setuid bit on

3. Run MotoWpNoMo to get rid of WP

4. Root Keeper to temp de-root

5. OTA Update

6. Run Root Keeper to restore root.

Will these steps work? Any major risk doing it?

[Moto X Original Android Development] bananapeapod:

[Moto X Original Android Development] nhizzat:
What do you mean Build 51?

Under System Version and Build Number in About Phone, you either have:

1. 4.2.2 pre-camera OTA

139.10.53.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US

13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-53

2. 4.2.2 post-camera OTA

139.15.1.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US

13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57

Use SlapMyMoto if you're on 4.4 or 4.2.2 with the camera OTA. I would highly recommend not running MotoWpNoMo to permanently set write protection off. There's is currently no method to reenable write protection nor is there a surefire method to regain root.

[Moto X Original Android Development] stillthisguy:
You need to use RockMyMoto if you are going to stay on 4.2.2 with camera update. If you want to be on 4.4 with root, use SlapMyMoto.

Hello guys,

Coming over from owning a Droid Razr. Now I proudly own a Droid Moto X. I have updated to 4.4 OTA and I believe the updated Camera version. Whatever the most current build is.

Also i really like the Active Display feature that Motorola has made. Is there a Rom out there that has this feature implemented?

Still having trouble gaining root permission on this phone. Currently running official 4.4 firmware. I have tried many different ways to gain access with no luck. RIght now, I'm using Ubuntu to do everything and i believe this being my downfall.

[Moto X Original Android Development] gogators1:
I guess I can't use this root since I'm 4.4
[Moto X Original Android Development] lowvolt1:
This isn't really a root. Just a method to disable write protection. You have to be rooted before you can run this. Since your on 4.4 you would need to downgrade to 4.2.2 camera update. Root with rockmymoto, run motowpnomo. Then if you want to go back to 4.4 and root, you would have to sbf back to clean 4.2.2 and then use slapmymoto to root. In that process you will be prompted to take 4.4 OTA.
