Some screenshots of what's going on with my device when I try and make a backup.. Happens on 2.7.1.1 as well and even philz fails on backup. Anyone know how I can fix? I still have my og backup of stock and it works but won't allow me to backup anything else.

Are you installing the 'ghost' code name for the Moto X (1st Gen.)..if that is your device.?

My Moto X Dev. just sets at home now, so..I don't know if there is a 'ghost' version available for v2.8

The version I use, known good backup and restore, internal storage, OTG\USB charge port (known good) link below, for the later KK versions..

This is a v2.6.3_ thread..which is TWRP for Jelly Bean..and early KK_4.4..one must use the proper version TWRP for the OS on the device..

Well, after some time of using 2.7, up to now 2.8.1 i just recognized that after all successful operations i get a warning at the end saying

"E:unable to mount storage"

Re installed just for testing 2.7, etc. Always the same.

Any idea where this comes from?
[Moto X Android Development] xpsychox:
ok, trying to push twrp onto the phone, and i keep getting a failure. I've got moto x running 4.4 used sunshine and unlocked bootloader. I have the warning message when I boot, and status "UNLOCKED" on fastboot. So, I know it is.... any ideas? I did disable my anti-virus just to make sure (E-Set)
[Moto X Android Development] NWKENT:
Sir, what method are you attempting, " trying to push twrp onto the phone, and i keep getting a failure".?

The easiest way to "push" / install TWRP for me personally is with RSDLite..

Make sure you are using a "ghost" version TWRP..

What version are you attempting to "push" to your device.?

[Moto X Android Development] NWKENT:
Sir..Seeing you have a XT1060, assuming you have a XT1060 DEV..

There are newer, known good TWRP versions, v2.7.1.1-ghost (and) 2.8.1.0-ghost

Flashing TWRP is very simple with RSDLite or adb..simply rename the TWRP version you wish to use to >> recovery.img

And flash as you would stock recovery..dont know why so many, make this process SO difficult.?

Once you have flashed "recovery.img" boot back into recovery, then install the UpdateSuperSU..then boot into system as usual..once booted to home screen, the device will be Rooted..

[Moto X Android Development] xpsychox:
Oh...wow...OK.. Lot easier than I thought.. And I don't have a Dev edition.. Just turned mine into one..lol

Edit: also, from what I understand I still can't take the 4.4.4 update cuz I'll lose root...correct?
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
No, if you have an unlocked bootloader you'll never lose root... Unlocked Bootloaders are always rootable...
[Moto X Android Development] xpsychox:
OK...so after I get root I can just take 4.4.4 OTA?
[Moto X Android Development] Travisdroidx2:
No, you go back to stock and then take the OTA. Then flash TWRP again and re root on 4.4.4

You want your device fully stock when taking OTA.

^^^ As [MENTION=4251564]Travisdroidx2[/MENTION] said above...
[Moto X Android Development] xpsychox:
Sweet....sounds like I know what I'm doing tonight then..
[Moto X Android Development] androidmonkey:
I have a brand new Moto X Dev Edition coming in tomorrow. I the first thing I would like to do is root it. I've rooted all of my past Android phones (G1, SGS1, SGS3). I will be using the guide HERE.

1. Download TWRP and SuperSU

2. Unlock bootloader

3. fastboot TWRP recovery

4. Reboot into recovery

5. Flash supersu.zip

6. Enjoy.

Is the file in the OP up-to-date? When Moto releases Lollipop, will I have to flash stock 4.2.2, do the steps above again, then take the OTA?
[Moto X Android Development] Travisdroidx2:
Your steps are correct. But get the latest official TWRP here 2.8.1.0 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost also TWRP will root for you no need to download SuperSU. It will ask if you want to root before you reboot. Also after flashing TWRP you MUST go straight to recovery before rebooting to get TWRP to stick.

Also even with Dev edition NEVER downgrade your android system post 4.2.2 Downgrading the bootloader and gpt.bin will result in a brick. For example if your device is on 4.4.2 you can NOT safely downgrade to 4.2.2!
[Moto X Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks for the reply. So when Moto releases the Lollipop OTA, can I install it without losing root?
[Moto X Android Development] Travisdroidx2:
To take the OTA you go back to FULL stock. Take OTA and reflash TWRP and re root. As long as your bootloader is unlocked you will always be able to flash TWRP and re root.
[Moto X Android Development] xpsychox:
I haven't heard... Is moto releasing lollipop on moto x first gen?
[Moto X Android Development] Travisdroidx2:
Yes, it has been confirmed we will get it.
[Moto X Android Development] androidmonkey:
When I read full stock, I thought that meant the stock OS that came with the phone. So if I am on 4.4.4 and 5 comes out OTA, I simply flash stock recovery, install the OTA, then flash TWRP again?
[Moto X Android Development] Travisdroidx2:
If you are on stock 4.4.4 rooted and have not modified anything with your system or use any mods like Xposed. Then reflashing stock recovery should be okay. Just to make sure I am good to take an OTA I always flash the system.img and the stock recovery. Boot.img also if I changed my kernel. When I say stock I mean stock for the latest android version you are running.
[Moto X Android Development] androidmonkey:
So I received my phone today. I unlocked and rooted it. Stupid me didn't make a backup of the stock recovery. I realized after that the phone came with 4.4.3. An OTA of 4.4.4 is available. I don't have the stock recovery to flash, and I don't see 4.4.3 on Motorolas site -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

Any suggestions on what I should do? I went ahead and requested 4.4.2 and 4.4.4, but it looks like it takes 24 hours during business hours to give you access to Google drive (talking Monday at the earliest). Seems pretty lame to make someone wait like this, why not allow a direct download from Motorolas site?

Another question. If I go ahead and setup my phone (install apps, etc), will I have to redo this when I flash stock recovery and take the OTA update?
[Moto X Android Development] Travisdroidx2:
When you get the 4.4.4 images you can just flash that instead of taking the OTA.
[Moto X Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks. I was able to download the 4.4.4 image today. Can I flash the stock recovery in the zip file I downloaded, then take the OTA? I'm on 4.4.3, so will 4.4.4 recovery be ok to flash?
[Moto X Android Development] mschumacher69:
No, flash the whole 4.4.4 image...

So I just got my Dev edition . Unlocked bootloader. Downloaded TWRP. Found mfastboot (Dont know what it is or how to use it)

can anyone help me with mfastboot? This is my twenty somethingith android device i've rooted but I've never heard of it.

EDIT - figured it out. I just needed to believe in myself.

EDIT 2 - I booted into twrp. I thought it was supposed to give me an option to root. It didnt.

EDIT 3 - Just kidding. It did it at the end.
[Moto X Android Development] d14gvn:

I have to boot in fastboot first then select recovery? if yes, it doesn't work :(

[Moto X Android Development] SensationNation:
Thank you so much for posting this, but I'm having some issues. I unlocked my device and downloaded the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img file and placed in in my platform-tools folder along with the mfastboot.exe file, but when I enter "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img", I get "error: cannot load 'twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img'" in command line and "getvar partition-type:recovery" on the phone. I will admit I am new to adb, but what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Tried using the one-click unlock and it looked like it was successful, but after rebooting into recovery I get the android guy with the warning symbol with the words "no command" underneath. I also no longer get "getvar partition-type:recovery" on the phone after trying the original method again. Not good?

FINAL EDIT: Turns out that although I had the folder open, I did not actually direct the adb window to the path by "Shift+Right Click -> Open Command Window Here". May my naivety be a help to others.
[Moto X Android Development] fifo209:
OK, I'm on VRZ X phone 4.4 build 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3 (stock then OTA to 4.4).

I have an unlocked device and I can successfully fastboot flash the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img recovery img.

Once I do, I can go into recovery mode.

I put multiple zip files on my internal SD card (CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip, full_xt1060-ota-eng.dhacker29-110813.zip and cm-11-20131126-UNOFFICIAL-xt1060.zip).

When I go into recovery mode the top of the screen has the red font info saying "Android system recovery <3e> 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3"

When I try to apply update from SDCARD and point to one of the files noted above, it start to verify update package then give me "installation aborted"

when I try to adb sideload any of the files it fail at the same step (installation aborted)

I assume the signature is a mismatch? Any way to fix this?

Thanks,
[Moto X Android Development] Dmtalon:
Not sure if you've figured this out or not. I'm new here (Moto X). Just ordered my Developer VZW yesterday, so I don't even have it yet. But just reading your post I'm not sure if you:

Have actually unlocked your bootloader, or are just using an "unlockable bootloader phone".

When you boot into Recovery and say you see "Android system recovery <3e> 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3" That doesn't sound like you are in TWRP, which if true would explain why the installs are failing.

I'm just guessing, but since nobody has replied in a couple days I figured I'd at least try to help.

I have also tried selecting Recovery in the bootloader options without mfastboot boot twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img

Yet when I select Recovery afterward the phone reboots to the OS and still has the stock recovery as thought nothing had been flashed.

When I reboot for the first tiem afterward, it shoots me to bootloader and reads:

Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure

I can then select Normal Powerup and everything is factory stock ready to roll. Any ideas? Really starting to frustrate me.
[Moto X Android Development] icon123:
Did you unlock your bootloader first?
[Moto X Android Development] kbluhm:
Yeah, first thing i did when I got it. I listed it as unlocked in the post. Plus I can guarantee that it is unlocked because every time it boots I get the bright white screen telling me it's unlocked. :)

Well this is odd... I just installed CWM using the same methods I outlined in my previous post and all went as expected. But I was able to boot into CWM, but could not do anything.

No errors in fastboot, but the flashed image isn't there when you reboot; it goes back to stock recovery
[Moto X Android Development] OldBaldy:
Did you boot straight to recovery after flashing TWRP? If you let it boot to the os, TWRP will be overwritten by the stock recovery. I had no problems with this version of TWRP after taking the OTA and reflashing TWRP.
[Moto X Android Development] _litz:
You can't boot straight into recovery ...

After you fastboot flash TWRP, if you select recovery, it bypasses TWRP and boots the OS.

I've also never (on ANY version, on ANY phone) had booting to the OS overwrite a recovery ...
[Moto X Android Development] OldBaldy:
Flash TWRP, unplug cable and power off phone. Power on while holding volume down and power for 10 seconds, then release power. Select recovery using volume down and execute using power up. You should reboot into TWRP . If not you may have a bad img file.
