Which recovery is installed if you select that option? Is it the latest version of those recoveries?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the noobness... Bought my wife a XT1053 off eBay to use on TMobile; however, this version I believe comes from Brazil (saw some reference in the phone in settings). I heard this version has an old firmware, etc. Can I use this to flash the TMobile (return to stock to TMobile)? Thank you for responses.

System version: 139.7.30.ghost_row.Nll.en.MX ; Build number: 13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-30 Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
I looked into this a bit and the firmware is not located here. I did find this thread that you may want to follow, as it seems they are looking for the same thing you are. It seems they tried to flash t-mobil firmware, but it failed. You would want to go there to confirm.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
You would need to put whatever recovery.img file you would like to use in the Rocovery\Custom folder. If official builds of TWRP or CWM came out in the future, I would include them in the toolkit.

I've been trying to restore back to stock from a pwnmymoto root and safestrap 3.63a on my previous installation. My phone got stuck in a boot loop and i figured it would be a good time to return to stock, accept the OTA, and re root with the newest root.

I've been trying to use FXZ to return to stock but after I "return to stock" I still have the safestrap "recovery" and "Continue" options? How would I make sure I return to stock if I used fastboot commands? fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot flash system system.img should be all I need right?
[Moto X Android Development] cartmenicus:
Am I able to flash back to stock with this even if I'm rooted with jcases newest method? Will it replace the root recovery with the default one?

Can I use this with Mac (OS X)? Also my phone is updated with latest patch (Verizon) will this root my phone?
[Moto X Android Development] AKValle26:
Hi, quick question

Does your "flash back to stock" erase data? as in, will it will my sms, app data, etc?

If so, do you know of a way to unroot without erasing this?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
fastboot commands you have listed are correct. Just make sure you are using the correct recovery.img and system.img
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Yes, you can flash back to stock, even if rooted with the newest method. It will flash back everything as if you just bought the phone. So, backup what you want saved before flashing back to stock.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Comments 370 and 371 both had suggestions on what worked for them.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
It should work on XP/Win7/Win8-8.1 Have you tried it?
[Moto X Android Development] kperajis:
I'm sorry, I tried everything else but not the run as Administrator option. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the quick reply.
[Moto X Android Development] Redjax:
I ran it as administrator and it fixed it. Right click, run as administrator.
[Moto X Android Development] kperajis:
Ok so I need some help again. I followed all the prompts and rooted my phone. After I accepted the 4.4 OTA as stated my phone restarts every time. It is still on 4.2.2. The phone reboots to the main screen and then shuts down again. What should I do?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Did MotoWPNoMo complete successfully?
[Moto X Android Development] chrisyou:
Thank you so much for this tool. I was able to flash back to stock, take the latest OTA, and then re-root with no issues on my GSM DE. Great work!

I have a Tmobile moto x with 4.4.2. Can I use this script to go back to 4.4?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
You cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.
[Moto X Android Development] n0obpr0:
*Sad face* What about removing root?
[Moto X Android Development] jakeo423:
4.2.2 root

I'm trying to root 4.2.2 and when I run pwnmymoto i get an error that says install_parse_failed_unexpected_exception. I try to run slapmymoto and it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I doing something wrong? What do I need to do? THanks.
[Moto X Android Development] charlie-n:
If I use the return to stock option for Sprint, will it also flash stock recovery, allowing me to safely take 4.4.2 Sprint soak test, just got an invite
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Yes, it flashes every back to stock, including recovery.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
If you are trying to root 4.2.2 post camera update you need to use RockMyMoto.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Once the sbf files are available you would be able to flash it to return to stock.
[Moto X Android Development] jakeo423:
I used rock my moto and I go through the steps and it keeps saying phone is not write protected. I get through and download super su and it says I don't have super user binary installed. Don't know how to fix this.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
After rooting with rooting with rockmymoto you need to reboot to recovery to perform root functions. Unless you successfully run motowpnomo, then you always have write protection disabled.
[Moto X Android Development] jakeo423:
So download super su and install it from recovery? Or do what when I get into recovery. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for the help though.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
No, when you boot to recovery it will boot up the phone with system access. Then download supersu from the play store.
[Moto X Android Development] jakeo423:
I need to boot to recovery from the toolkit?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
You can use the toolkit, or boot to the bootloader and then use volume down to get to the recovery option, then volume up to select it.
[Moto X Android Development] jakeo423:
I went into recovery through the bootloader, selected it, and I get the Android with the triangle and exclamation in the middle. I hold down power to reboot, download super su, and still says no binary.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Have you ever installed motowpnomo? When booted, what is listed on the toolkit under R/W?
[Moto X Android Development] jakeo423:
0 is next to r/w. When I run motowpnomo it gives an error message.
[Moto X Android Development] smjfosho:
backup doesnt seem to be working for me at all, ive tried multiple times and nothing shows up in any of the folders
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
If you are booting normally and getting the 0 that means you have already successfully ran motowpnomo, so the system WP is disabled always. I am not sure how you would regain root access after having done that. Normally people would just then update to 4.4 using slapmymoto and have root on 4.4. I don't have my device right now to try and test it out. Might want to post in the motowpnomo or rockmymoto threads to see if anyone knows the steps to get root on 4.2.2 after successfully flashing motowpnomo, then fresh installing 4.2.2.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
Which backup option is not working? Is there an error? Does the confirmation show up on your phone to start the backup?
[Moto X Android Development] robwege:
ok, so I just got my moto x developer edition yesterday. I want to root my device. Is it as easy as just pluggging my phone into the computer and using this tool? Help/Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
I would suggest unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp, then installing supersu through recovery. Just follow the guide here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
[Moto X Android Development] robwege:
ok, I am kind of new at this. So I would unlock my phone on the motorola site and then would I install twrp through the stock recovery?
[Moto X Android Development] jmcdonald58:
You need to read through the guide the OP posted for you Read it twice - I can say this utility works fine and I have used it a couple of times but you need to have some understanding of what you are doing other than just plugging it in a going at it-you cannot flash recovery with stock recovery it's and img file so you need to use fastboot to flash once you have custom recovery installed then you can root by flashing through recovery having DE device makes it much easier I wish you much luck:laugh:
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
He gave you a link which contains a guide on what you have to do. Make a little effort, click on the link, read the guide under "Unlocked Bootloader" and follow it. It explains to you how to install TWRP and SuperSU step by step...

You power down your phone. Then you press Volume Down and Power together and hold for about 3 seconds and release to get into bootloader mode.

Then once in bootloader mode, you hit Volume Down to highlight Recovery. Then you select Recovery by hitting the Volume Up button.

Hi everybody.

I have Moto X (XT1052). Can I Use Moto X Toolkit for root, and which method working for XT1052 (Pwnmymoto, rockmymoto, slapmymoto)?
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
Just unlock ur bootloader through Moto's website, flash TWRP and flash SuperSU. It's as easy as that...
[Moto X Android Development] Shyciii:
Nothing else resolution, only the bootloader unlock? The last resolution the bootloader unlocked, because the warranty important for me.
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
PwnMyMoto is root for 4.2.2 pre-camera, RockMyMoto is root for 4.2.2 post-camera, SlapMyMoto is for rooting 4.4, there currently is no root for 4.4.2 other than unlocking bootloader. Rooting without bootloader unlock also voids your warranty, so you might as well unlock the bootloader if you have that option.
[Moto X Android Development] Shyciii:
Thank you so much :)
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
To expand on this just a bit further. As of right now, this toolkit will only run SlapMyMoto on ATT and VZW. It will expand in the future, but I cannot say at this time to how many other models of the Moto X.
[Moto X Android Development] mskks64:
Any suggestions on how to fix my problem? The problem once again is I am basically getting random shutdowns or freezes. I went through the whole process and it worked great. Now though it seems when I'm not using my phone it'll shutdown. ideas? Is there a way to go all the way back and remove the r/wr protection then start over?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
There is no way to undo the changes from MotoWPNoMo. But you can still flash back to stock, see if you are still having the issue, and if not then root again. To root again and since you have been through the process before, you would just answer the 1st question with no, then the 2nd question with yes. If you flash back to stock, and still have the issue, then you will probably have to see if they will replace it.

You can unroot, but even if u do, ur warranty would still be void. Your warranty would be void as soon as you request the bootloader unlock code from Moto...

Noob question. I have a Verizon x1060 running android 4.4 with TWRP installed and I would like to Restore to stock 4.4.2. People keep saying I need to flash stock recovery before I install 4.4.2 stock.Where can I find this? Is it possible to do this via this toolkit?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
After downloading the 4.4 sbf file and extracting it, you would put the recovery.img file in the recovery custom folder then flash. Or you could manually flash it through the boot loader with the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command.
[Moto X Android Development] Swimboy46163:
How do I get the 4.4 sbf file?
[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 that is where all moto x sbf files are located.

I found the stock recovery image file, where is the location that I need to copy it to link it with the toolkit?

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Update: I found it, its in the stillthisguy system folder. But when I go to put in the tool kit. It pops up and I type the exact file name it just says waiting for device and the device is listed in the adb devices

Update2: When it says hboot or Android, make sure you DONT capitalize android.

I chatted with a French Motorola help assistant and she said that when you put everything to stock and it is not detectable you have back your warranty... I'm not so sure of this bit she said this. Here is a part of the transcript of the chat but it is in french

[01:24:44 PM] Pauline: non la garantie est annuléee

[01:26:42 PM] Pauline: Oui malheureusement

[01:26:57 PM] Pauline: sauf si vous remettez l'appareil à l'état initial

[01:28:02 PM] Marius: ah ça c'est interessant? Donc quand je remet tout, et je bloque le bootloader j'ai le garantie?

[01:28:45 PM] Pauline: oui

[01:29:07 PM] Pauline: s'il n'y a aucune trace

[01:29:10 PM] Marius: vous etes sure? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/91987/p/1449,8620/action/auth

[01:29:16 PM] Marius: PLEASE NOTE: Re-locking a device will not reinstate your device warranty as damage might have occurred when the device was unlocked.

[01:29:26 PM] Pauline: et que ce n'est pas detectable en centre de reparation vous ne risquez rien

[01:29:32 PM] Pauline: encore faut-il y arriver

[01:30:12 PM] Pauline: mais les techniciens en general sont capable de le voir

Ok so if there is no trace of tampering on the moto x, you can claim warranty? But how do we unroot and unlock the bootloader? I can't find a factory stock image for the european version?

XT1060/Locked Bootloader

Hey guys, i'm not sure if this question has been asked yet, being that I haven't read through all the comments and replies, but does this tool kit work for any Moto X? Especially the XT1060 and on a Locked Bootloader? I only just need to root my Moto X. The phone came stock running 4.4 Kitkat. I recently used RSD Lite and downgraded to 4.2.2, solely because I want to use Foxfi to tether for free. Since I haven't been able to root because of my bootloader, reverting back to 4.2.2 seems to be the only option I have.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, guys. Thanks.
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
Even if she were right, the thing is that there's no way to remove all traces of unlocking the bootloader and it's always easy to detect by anyone, not only the technicians. You can remove all traces of hacking, unroot, re-flash to 100% stock, re-lock the bootloader and even flash a different logo.bin file to get rid of the bootloader unlocked warning message, but the bootloader status will still be status 2 which means unlocked and re-locked and they would still know that you have unlocked it at one point. There no known way to return your bootloader back to status 1 which it was in before you unlock the bootloader. Once you unlock, it's either status 3: unlocked or status 2: locked, there's no status 1: locked anymore...

Yes it does, especially on the locked bootloader phones such as Verizon, At&t and Republic Wireless.

All other phones with unlockable bootloader don't need this tool to root because they can easily unlock their bootloader, flash twrp and flash supersu and they would have root...
[Moto X Android Development] wncoulte:
This is good news, but seems contrary to what I just read a few minutes ago from this forum: http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=50619533&nocache=1. These guys over in the Locked Bootloader Root Discussion (Developers Only) are saying that the MotoXToolsKit application is only for unlocked bootloaders. And, I think I was actually reading through the comments and replies a few pages back that if I have a locked bootloader, then I'm out of luck. Did you have a locked boatloader or do you know anyone from this forum who rooted their Moto X XT1060 with a locked bootloader?
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
The link you posted redirects to a new post...

Anyways, whoever said this don't know what they're talking about. This tool allows you to root using PwnMyMoto, RockMyMoto or SlapMyMoto depending on the Android version that you're on. Now those methods are for phones with a locked bootloader and I know plenty of people who are rooted on a locked bootloader, you have to be on 4.4 or below thought, there's no root for 4.4.2 on a locked bootloader yet.
[Moto X Android Development] wncoulte:
Okay. GREAT! Thanks. My last two questions: for my device should I use Pwn, Rock, or Slap? Like I mentioned before, i'm only on 4.2.2 because I RSD Lite'd back to that version, but i'm originally at 4.4. Or, to make answering my questions easier, is there a link to this information? Last question: are there instructions on how to use the Tool Kit or should I just install, choose an option, and let the tool work? I only ask because I've already installed it, went to the directory, and found empty folders.
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
You said earlier that your phone shipped with 4.4 and you downgraded to 4.2.2. This means you're on the post-camera OTA 4.2.2.

You have 2 options:

1. If you wanna stay on 4.2.2, you have to use RockMyMoto

2. If you wanna upgrade to 4.4, you have to use SlapMyMoto (which requires you to use RockMyMoto first).

So in both cases, you have to use RockMyMoto first and then u would use SlapMyMoto if u wanna upgrade to 4.4.
[Moto X Android Development] wncoulte:
Okay, great. Thanks for all the info. Sounds like I don't have to worry about the camera update. Therefore, I guess all I need to do is download RockMyMoto and SlapMyMoto and copy them both into those empty folders, right? ... then root using Rock, then root again using Slap? I'm assuming the ToolKit is just that easy: just let the application run and select either option 9, 10, or 11. Is there a link to where to grab Rock and Slap? I can't find any.
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
Yes the tool will guide you through the process. You can grab RockMyMoto and SlapMyMoto from their official threads here:

[Moto X Android Development] stillthisguy:
If you want to stay on 4.2.2 rooted use RockMyMoto.

If you want 4.4 rooted use SlapMyMoto, it doesn't matter if you are on 4.2.2 or 4.4 when you start SlapMyMoto through the toolkit. Just answer the first question with Yes. When you get into the SlapMyMoto option, the requirements to run SlapMyMoto are listed and there are options to open the pages to the downloads you will need to complete the process.
[Moto X Android Development] whittikins:
Hey, thanks for providing this toolkit! I have an issue, and it's probably something I'm doing wrong. I have the GSM Unlocked (Tmobile) version running 4.4. I place all the tools in appropriate folders (as well as the tmobile image in its folder).

I chose option 11 (root using SlapMyMoto, since I'm on 4.4). Then I hit 1 to start it and I see it extract the tools. Then it asks if I'm rooting 4.4 for the first time. I choose Yes, but then it asks if I have AT&T or Verizon. I don't have either, but it forces me to download one of those or bypass it, which then prevents the tool from progressing.

I tried selecting AT&T to see what's next, and it either wants me to download the file or bypass and hault the process. Not sure what to do from here!
