Not sure this is necessary. I had flashed the Moto X's gpt and all sorts of screwed up my device. IMEI and all other data was reporting zeros. As soon as I wiped everything out and got the MAXX info loaded back on the IMEI and serial info was restored. Just my experience but it can't hurt to be safe.
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
Agree with you... But its always better to play safe... Cuz reading ppl cribbing over corrupt efs partitions and hence rendering devices useless and some time having to use complex tools like RADIOCOMM n stuff to get it back is kinda sad... Well I think a phone which cannot make calls would make me feel worse than it being completely bricked! ;)
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Has anyone had that issue on a modern Motorola? I've only seen it on lg/Samsung
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
Yeah I remember researching about this issue and going through a few threads with Motorola devices Razr M, Razr HD and Atrix 4G too... But as you said most affected devices were of the Samsung, that's probably they were stored on a easily accessible partition so were easily corrupted..

About a week back, you mentioned a Dev Edition 4.4 Droid Maxx SBF was floating around, you happen to have it handy?? Thanks!
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
I do but I cannot share it at motorola's request. However if you look around a bit in this forum it has been posted a couple times...
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Well it looks like I'll be restoring down to 4.2.2 to take the new 4.4 build if there are any real changes. Doesn't look like the first 4.4 update will be merged quite yet.
[Droid Ultra General] splashd1:
Any projected date for an OTA 4.4 for Droid Maxx Dev Edition Verizon?
[Droid Ultra General] AjStone:
What are you talking about? I have the Verizon DE and I got the update with everyone else.
[Droid Ultra General] TerrorTodd:
I thought the update was stopped by Verizon / Motorola because of issues. I don't think many got it.
[Droid Ultra General] AjStone:
I had heard that too but that was a long time ago. I guessed it was continued to be pushed. I don't know of anyone with a new Droid who doesn't have Kit Kat.
[Droid Ultra General] TerrorTodd:
Was at Verizon today playing with new Droids and none of them had 4.4 on them
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
It hasn't been pushed to the masses yet. Mostly mfn and a handful of others. Obviously the tech savvy have sideloaded it in many cases.
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
I really want to do that too but when I go to flash the system.img I get a "sp space is not enough" so it fails to flash the system image and I get stuck at the boot logo. I've used mfastboot, fastboot, and used the flashall bat from the 4.4 fxz and everything yields the same result. I can flash the 4.4 system image with no problem and I don't get the same error.

Any ideas?
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
AFAIK The 4.2.2 to 4.4 transition re-partitions things so think you have to flash the whole FXZ! i think the partition related stuff is in the gpt.bin or something! I could be wrong but probably thats why u arent able to flash just the 4.2.2 System IMG...
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
trying to flash the gpt.bin results in the unable downgrade security error (or something like that) and nothing flashes. Skipping the gpt.bin allows everything else to flash EXCEPT the system.img. FWIW I started having this issue after I flashed 4.4 for the moto X then flashed back to 4.2.2 (without a problem) then went to restore back to stock for some reason and started getting the error.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
If you use flashall from the proper dev edition sbf from moto 's dev site it'll work. Unfortunately that page is down right now but look for it on the factory images page on www.motorola.com. It is usually here but not playing nice at the moment: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
Those are the files I have been using. Flashing using those was working fine one day then the next I got the error, no change in my setup. I wonder if a partition on my phone is borked somehow, but I still don't understand why 4.4 flashes fine.
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
Actually I can't overwrite the system image with the 4.4 fxz either. That is my issue and why I can't downgrade it simply won't overwrite the system.
[Droid Ultra General] splashd1:
I have an XT1080M Dev Edition on 4.2.2 (though it's rooted). Can someone tell me why I didn't get an OTA update to KitKat? or why Mot doesn't offer the 4.4 update on their dev download site? the latest they offer has the same name as my present version "MOTDROIDULTRADEV_verizon-user-4.2.2-SU1-15-3-release-keys-cid2-Verizon-US.xml.zip". I assume from the 4.2.2 that's not Kit Kat, though someone told me that the file names sometimes reflect the version one is updating from...

Should I bother trying to do a 4.4 update on my own, or is it imminent OTA or from Motorola officially anyhow?

thanks.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Because 4.4 was never publicly rolled out...
[Droid Ultra General] splashd1:
So is there a good way and ROM source to get 4.4 on my XT1080M Dev Edition? Are folks using the Moto X bins or has someone leaked the the Droid Maxx build?

I'd like to bump up to 4.4, but also want to take the best path...

[Droid Ultra General] TerrorTodd:
Ok to take OTA on rooted DEV ED MAXX

I've seen where people have said NEVER to take an OTA on a rooted phone. Doesthat hold true with the Developer versions too?
[Droid Ultra General] AjStone:
Regardless of Developer Edition or not, the action of rooting the phone deviates it from the stock configuration, which is what the OTA is designed for. So if you install the OTA you will either fail the update or lose root.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Since it's locked AND encrypted there's virtually no way to bypass it at this point. It took about a year to figure out an exploit for the RAZR HD and Motorola's only getting smarter and better at stopping us. Translation: No. Unlocking this through a dev bypass is extremely difficult if not impossible at the moment.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Software version is the same 12.7.7... Main advantage is the unlockable bootloader! U can flash a custom recovery from the Moto X and make nandroid backups flash what ever the hell u want! :D
[Droid Ultra General] rowland007:
That's what I what I thought. I didn't even think of the on-screen buttons. At least we know it kinda works! That's a step in the right direction. If someone can modify it to get rid of the on-screen buttons and make sure it's set up correctly for the Maxx, we could have a bloat free, vanilla Android experience.
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
Not kinda bro! Everything i tested worked perfectly!!! Even the camera, network... everything... I am just excited that we wont have any problems porting ROMs anymore! :good:
[Droid Ultra General] rowland007:
Were you able to flash a recovery as well? I would try the custom recovery you used with our stock boot and system and see if it works. That might at least allow us to gain root.
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
Yeah! Thats the first thing i did! Install CWM from Moto X... Works perfectly.. took a nandroid backup n restored it once just to be sure... I am getting root but not able to mount system as R/W...
[Droid Ultra General] rowland007:
I was able to gain root and have the /system become rw on a Developer Edition.

Note: make sure you have no other SU apks installed. I also have not tried this method if you had previously used PwnMyMoto.

I first unlock my bootloader and then I flashed a CWM recovery using fastboot. You can find the CWM recovery over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2458451

Let your phone start up normally and download this SU zip file to your "SD card"/internal storage. Can be found here:

shinyrom.goofball.org/Universal%20Mods/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip

Reboot into recovery and navigate to install zip from sd card and choose UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip. Install it and reboot. You should now have root and able to remount /system with rw. I was able to accomplish this with Root Explorer.:good:

Thanks Gundabolu SC:laugh:
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
Ohh... Good for you... I used PwnMyMoto before so that might be what's causing issues... Will try figuring out a way to mount it as rw... :screwy:
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
On screen keys can be disabled through a quick build prop edit.
[Droid Ultra General] Gundabolu SC:
Yeah... Added "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the build.prop which removed the on screen buttons but had no luck getting the capacitive touch buttons working, I replaced "system>usr>keylayout" with our 4.2.2 one, which I read about somewhere but sadly it doesn't make them work!! If someone can figure out how to make the capacitive buttons to work it will be a breeze porting ROMs from the Moto X...
[Droid Ultra General] AjStone:
My Developer Edition just arrived. They sent it FedEx 2-day. It never went to status of "shipped" online. Looks pretty! I'm going to apply a Skinomi and charge the battery before I start to play with it.

Nobody has made any ROM's yet?
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
I talked to dhacker about this briefly earlier and apparently it's disabled in the smali code (as of 4.2). For now we're stuck with hardware keys til either I dig through and figure out where that code is or someone more experienced attempts it. I've been out of development since the tbolt days but I could probably sift through it after some free time. Unfortunately if it's going to rely on me it's going to be a week or so before I can start. Just moved so unpacking takes priority ;)

Being that this device runs so close to stock already and that the added features are actually useful, I don't see the need for a stock ROM.

Correct. With a developer edition, there is pretty much always a way to get back if you mess something up. To update from JB, I just pushed stock recovery back to the phone, factory reset and updated without a problem. Then installed TWRP.

So due to them telling me that and a few apps acting weird and emoji's and a few other things. It kind of does seem a little different than it should, like it isn't the full KitKit version or something.

I also heard someone saying how you can switch your home screen and a few other features are different also like aren't the colors supposed to be white now? On the new update this is what I found from feedback.

[Droid Ultra General] kenryan:
[MENTION=1016955]NEWKENT[/MENTION]: head over to the droid x forum and look for the TWRP there. It works on the maxx, follow the same instructions as for the x. You'll then be rooted with a good recovery. Then the other hacks in this forum will work (e.g. entitlement and so on).

I suggest requesting the link to the restore image from Motorola and squirrel the image away somewhere, in case you ever want to go back to a known starting point. You never know if moto should decide to drop support in the future.

Ken

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

p.s. if downgrade to 4.2.2 is what you want, the current restore image on moto's site is that. They have good directions. You'll need to pull down one of the other images also to get their version of the fastboot binary, the Google version won't work and the maxx recovery image is missing the fastboot tools.

Once you're downgraded you'll need to freeze the OTA daemon (MotorolaOTA). Use TitaniumBackup to freeze it, the settings page won't let you disable it. (I have not done it myself, so it's possible I'm missing a step but I don't think so).

[Droid Ultra General] TerrorTodd:
Look on swappa.com that's where I got mine. They come up from time to time!
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
TWRP is located over in the Moto X thread. Downgrading is just fastboot flashing the files for the version you want. You can't flash the gpt.bin I don't think because it will give you the downgrade security error but you can flash boot, system, recovery and modem. Be warned though that if you go back to the pre camera update (12.7.7) and try to take the OTA to 12.15.15 your phone will hard brick.
