Force Update

You can force the download: clear data of Google Services Framework then reboot and check for the update.
[Moto X General] :
It is downloading!
[Moto X General] j2cool2012:
Can confirm, so excited.

[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
Guys don't install, your device will break......

Actually no it won't, I just want mine to speed up!
[Moto X General] Cronis:
This is just too funny... I hope this means the other Moto X will get 4.4 soon. I'm excited to see what supposed update to the camera is and if it will get pushed to the google play camera app.
[Moto X General] smurphdogg:
downloading mine now
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
50%. Woo!
[Moto X General] madisonjar:
dang it,you beat me to it, mine zoomed up to 81% but now its realllllllllyyyyyy slow.

edit: nevermind, its installing now...proceed on the update is good to go for your phone!
[Moto X General] JoshRH:
So pumped!
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
I don't think I've been this excited about an ota yet Lmao.

Going to report back on the NFC and Google wallet later in the day!
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
Any reason I should try to find the DL directory and save a copy?
[Moto X General] :
Anyone who gets this installed, please post feedback about root status - does it break root? Does OTA Rootkeeper work?
[Moto X General] madisonjar:
I will let you know in a minute or two when my phone fires back up!
[Moto X General] 640k:
can't remember if root is required to grab it, but i'm sure people who didn't get the hit right away would appreciate the upload.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

almost every OTA breaks root. bootstrap (etc) should help you keep it. i have yet to root the X, so i'm not concerned.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
I'm suspecting it's in /cache. I unrooted for the soak, so I probably can't copy it.
[Moto X General] 640k:
i've never been so excited to see Andy with the little spinning geo-shape...
[Moto X General] :
Yeah, I know most of them break root, looking for feedback from upgraders on how or if they kept root, though.
[Moto X General] 640k:
bootstrap/safestrap... usually helps you to protect root. i think in ultra rare cases in the past, they didn't work. there's lots of documentation on it here in the forums. all that i can remember is the utility usually prompts me what i want to do with an OTA.
[Moto X General] Mtnbiker:
You all realize it's the end of the world right? I mean this truly can't be happening unless it was.
[Moto X General] pyro6128:
Same, I'm waiting to see if/how root was kept. The anticipation is killing me over here!
[Moto X General] charlie-n:
I think VZW is just trying to get back some brownie points from you guys doing this so early, ha allot of you seem to have an unfavorable opinion of them. id be pissed about an unlockable bootloader
[Moto X General] madisonjar:
NO tap to pay in google wallet downloaded from play store just now.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:

[Moto X General] 640k:
Wow that was uneventful. LOL.
[Moto X General] Pr0f_Farnsw0rth:
I've encountered boot loop issues. Phone downloaded the update then asked if I wanted to defer the update (no, duh) shuts down and powers up normally. Nothing changes. 20 or so seconds after it has powered back up, it auto-powers down. HELP!
[Moto X General] sicmadek:
mine is installing now. i dont understand why they started a soak test, never sent out the soak, then sent out the official ota a week after starting the soak...
[Moto X General] charlie-n:
Can you post screenshot of stock home screen
[Moto X General] JoshRH:
Oh yes.
[Moto X General] j2cool2012:
I'm uploading the OTA as we speak for people who don't have it yet
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
Moto X on Verizon
[Moto X General] j2cool2012:
You're probably not using stock recovery. If you rooted, you don't have the recovery its trying to boot into to flash the file
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
Ghey, there's gotta be a way to make it work!
[Moto X General] tyguy829:
can anybody please comment on the root situation? Did you lose root?

[Moto X General] 640k:
nothing to write home about. the lock screen is the biggest change:

lock screen:

also what is interesting is the lighting changes with the focal point in the camera - VERY cool!
[Moto X General] Pr0f_Farnsw0rth:
I was rooted at one point but I did an SBF to factory to take the first update. Shouldn't be an issue.
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
So very impressive overall. While google has released images for the Nexus 4/7 etc they haven't enabled the OTA update for many devices yet. Motorola and Verizon have them beat! I think they are really setting the bar high and expect all future google devices to be made by Motorola.

The new dialer is hot, and the camera's new drag-to-focus-and-adjust-exposure is awesome.
[Moto X General] alex94kumar:
So on a VZW dev edition that's running TWRP and stock rooted, I would have to use OTA rootkeeper to keep root (and then temp. unroot), and then flash stock recovery to install the update? Can anyone else confirm this?
[Moto X General] racer83l:
Tap and pay has arrived. Download wallet, turn on NFC then check your settings. I can't post an screen shot I'm too new.
[Moto X General] theraffman:
Good for vzw for pushing this out so quick, I can't wait for att to release official, I doubt there will be any difference to the leak, but it's nice to feel legit!

Have fun guys, enjoy!

[Moto X General] romy134:
can someone see if the Hangouts app has been updated?
[Moto X General] ClippinWings:
why?

I have the new hangouts on Jellybean.

Received the Update from the play store 2 days ago,
[Moto X General] racer83l:
I hope it works with moto assist. It didn't on 4.2.2
[Moto X General] Talguy:
Man I wanna know if there is improved battery life with this. Especially when listening to music as I do that alot. Does the Audio tunneling / processor bypass make a huge difference?
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
Tap and pay will show under settings once you enable NFC but Google wallet shows tap and pay as not available under about section
[Moto X General] 640k:
i'm glad you said something. i forgot they changed the dialer, and the look on my face when i clicked the phone icon and there was no dialer!
[Moto X General] :
I'm practically banging on the F5 button waiting for someone to post whether they kept root. The update is downloaded and just waiting for me. It's teasing me. Calling to me. Whispering seductively in my ear.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
I'm getting an update notification for Maps, but then an error when it tries to install.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Anyone planning to do a factory wipe after 4.4?
[Moto X General] Vrekk:
Tap and Pay works on 4.4, but I don't think the Google Wallet app from the Play Store supports it yet. If you can side-load one from a Nexus 5 it should work.
[Moto X General] pyro6128:
I'm also just refreshing constantly. I keep jumping over to the rockmymoto thread too to see if anyone has tried it.
[Moto X General] skinien:

[Moto X General] dacek:
Everyone and their mother must be downloading it now. Mine started out screaming fast and now is slow dull pace.
[Moto X General] thenickisme:
I have also encountered boot looping. Mine is doing the same thing. Completely stock other than the 4.4 launcher side-loaded.

[Moto X General] tnt118:
I'm curious about this as well.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Have you tried a factory reset? This is a pretty huge update

In the middle of wiping mine. I intend to enable ART before downloading any apps.

[Moto X General] orlandovitoj:
Guys, I'm pretty much virgin about these rooting stuff and all. I just know I like to try the latest and "j2cool2012" just posted a zip OTA file. Is it possible for a normal guy from Brazil to install it via Odin, I don't know...?
[Moto X General] 640k:
good job jcool. create a new thread for all to see?
[Moto X General] thenickisme:
I was hoping not to have to do that. I actually just tried it and the phone refused to do it and just booted up like normal. I am assuming there is a problem getting into the bootloader. I am going to boot directly into the bl and see if I can force the update and if that doesn't work I'll force a wipe.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
You probably don't want to install a Verizon OTA update onto your phone.
[Moto X General] andino:
Can we just use the same method as before to preserve root and write protection?
[Moto X General] :
I have logcats from my phone but I can't seem to find the download link.

Any help?
[Moto X General] orlandovitoj:
Yeah, that's what I though. I was just hoping... Thanks.

[Moto X General] jonnythan:
The what?

Also: the new wallpaper chooser is horrid.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
grab the FXZ for the version Stock ROM you are running... unzip it.. fastboot flash boot, recovery and system. (you might have to find MFastboot.exe for system).. when complete, just reboot the phone... it should continue and update.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
What spacing?
[Moto X General] :
Word is that this update actually wipes the entire system partition, meaning there's nothing you can do to retain root through the update. Gotta wait for someone to release a new exploit.

<- Sad panda.
[Moto X General] dacek:
Anyone else having problems with it boot looping? Only thing i've done is rooted and froze some bloatware. I really hope i dont have to do a factory reset.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

A good warning is always wait on OTA updates if you need/want root... you never know what the new updates will do..
[Moto X General] dsimages:
Is there anything I can do with a PC. Won't be at one for several hours.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
without a PC.. I don't think so.
[Moto X General] jwort93:
yep having the same problem now, all I did was root as well. I'm download the stock image to reset right now.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Is this what you're looking for?
[Moto X General] mi7chy:
How's ART optimization on the Moto X? It's significant on Nexus 7 2013 with 4.4.
[Moto X General] dsimages:
Damn. Can you explain your instructions in more detail please. Noob here.

Yup, fixed it. SBF'd to the updated stock rom. Updated smoothly.
[Moto X General] chonzy:
possible to install on a diferent carrier?

if i have the ota zip, can i install it form recovery if my phone is from another carrier (country)?

i would've tried it, but since verizon is cdma and my carrier is gsm i dont feel like killing my phone just yet. thanks
[Moto X General] natezire71:
Yes yes yes yes yes. They fixed it! Awesome sauce. Thanks man. :)
[Moto X General] mandrsn1:
If you rooted, you probably need to reflash the recovery.img file.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
It seems to be slightly quicker. I can't tell if it's because of the full wipe I did though. No issues with apps not working yet other than WhatsApp not installing.
[Moto X General] :
No, you should not install an update that is not for your phone.
[Moto X General] StephenMilone:
mine just finished updating!....wheres the root instructions? haha jk
[Moto X General] soyko:
I have two coffees on my desk right now. So looks like it worked like a charm.
[Moto X General] imnotmikal:
My God this makes me happy.

The only thing I'm stuck on now is the fact that without root, I can't remove the entitlement check on native tethering. I need tether. :(
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
If you have a dev edition then directions posted here https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/111427630526465762233

if not, ummm enjoy your unrooted X :)
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
you mean how to fastboot flash? sure FOR WINDOWS...

You need ADB and the other android tools installed along with moto drivers. If you don't have them, there are plenty of threads already disucssing that.

File file here -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php if you have the camera update, grab -> VZW_XT1060_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57-X-1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip. Unzip it.

Unplug phone

Power down phone.

Hold Volume Down and Power

After a few seconds release Power, you should be in fastboot menu on phone.

Connect to PC.

open command prompt file

type the following... (note: mfastboot can be used in place of fastboot)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]

wait for it to finish

fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]

wait for it to finish

fastboot flash system system.img [press enter]

wait for it to finish

fastboot reboot [press enter]

phone should reboot and start taking the update.

Nah, I'm on a consumer edition. I guess I'll stick to 4.2.2 rooted for now, I can't go without tethering. :/
[Moto X General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Could someone check the adreno blob version? Download antutu and device info. Should say v45 or v53 or higher...

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
[Moto X General] soyko:
Mine is a work phone. I emailed my telecom manager and asked him to get tether onto my phone/line. He said it should work but the screenshot I sent him said otherwise. So maybe I'll have it soon and not really need to worry about rooting it.

Only thing I would love about root is if I could backup my auth codes for Google Authenticator. I know I can do the google ones just fine, but I also have dropbox and lastpass in there.
[Moto X General] JFMFT:
I was frustrated by this on 4.2.2, however I got around it. You can use FoxFi, and it will bypass the entitlement check if you allow it to install a VPN when it prompts you. The problem, however, is that it will require you to use a pattern lock. If you don't want to be forced to use a pattern or pin lock in order to comply with the certificate, simply go through the process, then lock your phone's screen. Unlock it and on purpose enter the incorrect password on your lock screen. Once you enter in the incorrect password enough times, it'll prompt you to log in to your google account using username/password. Enter the info., and it'll unlock. Then, when you go to re-lock and unlock your screen the screen will be slide-to-unlock, but the security certificate needed for the VPN for FoxFi will remain in place. Voila, you get free unlimited tethering through a FoxFi VPN without root and without being forced into using a security lockscreen.

It isn't a perfect solution, but once you do it once you won't have to do it again. The only catch is if this is different on 4.4 than on 4.2.2. I am not sure, since I can't get 4.4 to install yet.
[Moto X General] :
What's the advantage of backing it up for LastPass? It takes about 1 second to snap a photo of the barcode to re-generate the auth code.
[Moto X General] barondebxl:
Damn you AT&T!!!
[Moto X General] 640k:
i just noticed they've made some changes to the corporate/exchange mailbox too...
[Moto X General] mcgrathpatj:
Cool. Just updated and working well. I installed the Google Experience Launcher and works perfectly. Can swipe from the left now to search.
[Moto X General] imnotmikal:
In 4.2.2 you could just flash the modified entitlement check and not have to worry about FoxFi. :P
[Moto X General] 640k:
but you need root, right?
[Moto X General] soyko:
Because I no longer have the barcode/QR to scan anymore. I could probably look and see if there is an option on their website to do so. Before I just used Romtoolbox to back it up, but that broke in the newer version of the auth app and I stopped using root.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
That's the 4.4 email. It's the same as the apks that were released from the N5 system dump.
[Moto X General] 640k:
um, yes. because i'm on 4.4 and i just noticed the change?
[Moto X General] icon123:
Let us know how that goes. It's the only thing keeping me from kit kat.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Oops. Thought you meant Moto when you said they. Sorry.
[Moto X General] :
It's right in your LastPass vault settings on the website. Click on the Two Factor Authentication section, then click the button that says "display QR code."
[Moto X General] JFMFT:
Yes, but the entire point of what I posted was that root was not needed to allow for tethering. :P
[Moto X General] soyko:
Good to know, thanks.

Only problem is that if I don't sign in and it times outs and I need to use the auth code with my email and password to get in, I'm screwed. But that could be because I reinstall my OS a lot so it asks me that.

But again, that's good to know. Cheers brother.

Now just dropbox to look into, so maybe I can really go okay without root.
[Moto X General] cigmanfroyd:
Anyone try running ART? Currently in the process of firing it up after a factory reset.
[Moto X General] 640k:
FoxFi does NOT appear to be working with 4.4:

VZW gets official update before any other carriers?! The world indeed is changing ;) enjoy it guys, so happy for you!
[Moto X General] stevezor:
Seems about the same, maybe a sliiight bit more responsive. Just one hiccup addressed below

When running ART, do you have any lag if you unlock from the active display? I got it once in a while, but rebooting seems to have fixed it for now. Its fine 100% if I use the unlock button, but I cant be pressing buttons like some kind of savage :p
[Moto X General] mags05:
Sorry, I've never used it.

I actually just had that happen. I'll see if a reboot fixes it.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Also seeing the lag from Active Display unlock.
[Moto X General] strictlyphat:
Fond my first bug. I changed to ART and when u locking phone from active notification screen it lags for 1-2 seconds. Pretty annoying.
[Moto X General] stevezor:
yep, I spoke too soon. Just got the lag again even after rebooting. Oh well, back to DVM for now I guess.
[Moto X General] mags05:
The first time I had Active Display come up after switchign to ART and unlocked the screen it lagged, but the next couple of times there was no lag at all.
[Moto X General] mpetruzz:
I'm running the first ota and rooted. Do I need to do anything special before I update, or can I even update since I'm rooted??
[Moto X General] stillthisguy:
Active Notifications unlock lags on dalvik as well, it seems random.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
If you want to KEEP ROOT and do not have a developer edition phone... then DO NOT UPGRADE.

If you want to upgrade, you'll need to unroot first. But I'm not sure if you have to take the camera OTA update before KK, or if you can just unroot and go to KK.
[Moto X General] FSXv13:
I have to admit, I am LOVING how much softer and consistent the vibrate is when you unlock from active notifications.

It's always a soft little bump now.
[Moto X General] mpetruzz:
I do realize that I'd lose root, not a huge deal to me I really only froze a few apps.

So I'll need to rsd then take the update??
[Moto X General] cigmanfroyd:
Very nice. Have my phone all set up and updated (no apps but stock). Its buttery smooth. Going to slowly start adding new apps one by one to check compatibility.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
RSDLite is destructive.. i.e. if flashes/wipes your data partition. So you'll be left with a "fresh out of box" type of phone...

You could fastboot flash boot, recovery and system as mentioned already in this thread. That will keep your data/apps and get you ready to take the update.
