[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LucidSomnia:
when i sideload the latest factory image (krt16s) on my nexus 7, i get the message "E:signature verification failed" . I am on latest 4.3. Maybe its a bad download? Anyone?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] z0phi3l:
Means we downloaded the wrong version, I had this problem too, had to download from a different source
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
You can't sideload the factory image, it is meant to be flashed using fastboot in bootloiader.

You can download the ota here

This is the bounty thread for whomever successfully roots the Moto X (all variants, NON-DEV) on 4.4 KitKat

The idea here is for users to pledge an amount, (i.e. User A says they'll pay $10), if a Developer comes along and announces he/she has a method for rooting the Moto X on KitKat for all variants of the device.

Whatever you do--do NOT pledge an amount if you can't keep it. It makes you look bad, and it makes us all look bad.

With that said, thank you for your pledge!

No matter how much you decide to pledge--it's greatly appreciated. Nobody will judge you if you put in a dollar or two. As long as you're contributing, it's all that matters! :highfive:

I'll check back occasionally and update the totals and quote you on your pledged amount.

Donors will only have to pay once a Dev claims the bounty.

I will go ahead and kick it off...

I'm in for 20... And you just reminded me I need to kick 20 over to jcase for the second root too
[Moto X General] eyc:
In for $20.

Is there some way we can lock people in? Is there a website that will essentially hold the amount in escrow and release only if root achieved, or otherwise return the money if it is not?
[Moto X General] natezire71:
Let me see if I can't find something. :) I would open up a PayPal account to hold the money--but I don't think people would be crazy about that. I'll think of something.

I did not figure out the root method. I followed Michael Pierce's instructions that I Saw on Google+, but modified them to be easier to read. Detailed the instructions in an easi(er) to follow method on Reddit
[Moto X General] natezire71:
We're talking about the non-dev edition phones. :p

Apparently this isn't going to work on the OTA update due to a bootloader change that occurred after the leaked update I have. Will investigate, might still be possible for AT&T users, but doesn't look like verizon users are going to get it.

OK Here we go, going to do it with RockMyMoto, ok?

> Be on 4.4

Use RSDLite, downgrade to the 4.2.2 Camera update

root with rock my moto, while in recovery bootmode use SuperSu (update to latest APK and binary first) to survive update, restore recovery via fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then take 4.4 update?

If it won't allow update after that, then someone get me the ATT soak test and I will revise the instructions.

</thread> ?

Issues are bound to come up, so yeah at your own risk
[Moto X General] cabraswell:
I wasn't aware that we could downgrade from 4.4 using RSDLite.

If this is the case I might go try this.
[Moto X General] mandrsn1:
Keeping Root for Kit Kat has more to do with the newest SuperSu (and binary) than the actual root method, correct? (i.e. somebody on Rooted 4.2.2 via a non-RockMyMoto method with the newest SuperSu should be fine upgrading and keeping root?)
[Moto X General] icon123:
I'm trying it now. I will let you know. Thanks.
[Moto X General] housry23:
You can from the leak, but official firmwares it will not work.
[Moto X General] cabraswell:
I just did it. I used RSDLite to go from 4.4 OTA to 4.2.2 Camera Update.

I'm not at my home PC so I can't root and such atm. I'll do the rest tonight.
[Moto X General] icon123:
It didn't work. It tried to do the update and then it errored out and rebooted to 4.2.2 and said the update failed. Any other ideas?
[Moto X General] jcase:
Ok, soon as I get the att update, ill refine and repost, likely need to change how root is kept

[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
i believe it may be verizon only. it seems they may be the only carrier that didn't make it impossible to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2.2. They aren't used to rolling updates out that fast lol.
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
The only thing I'm missing from Kit Kat. I'm excited and quite happy. Hopefully it works without too much work!

Thanks for all your contribution!
[Moto X General] SYNSYNACKACK:
Verizon Moto X (4.2.2)

I have a Verizon Moto X on 4.2.2 rooted with RockMyMoto and latest SuperSU installed.

Unfortunately, I can't risk bricking it as it's a work phone.

How can I make a donation ????
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Okay, totally not following all of this.

Can you root 4.4 OTA for vzw on locked boot loader?

The instructions say "be on 4.4" does this mean I have to take update and the downgrade? Or can I just do the rest of the instructions if I have not updated?

The rest of the instructions: can someone dumb this down?
[Moto X General] hyatari:
There are no instructions yet. The root method is still being worked out by jcase it seems.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
I know he is waiting on att official update files. This makes me wonder if it will even work on vzw.
[Moto X General] mj0528:
Yay! Go at&t!
[Moto X General] hyatari:
People are claiming they can downgrade from 4.4 to previous version on vzw so it should work if that can be done from what I've been reading.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Have you seen the instructions yet?
[Moto X General] hyatari:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47707070

That's to downgrade from 4.4 if that's what you're asking. If you're asking for root for 4.4 its still a waiting game.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Yes. I thought earlier in this post that jcase posted some instructions on how to retain root and update to 4.4.
[Moto X General] hyatari:
Post #32 of this thread he gave some instructions saying it might only work on at&t. Since then he's said he's most likely going to have it working for other variants from how I take it.
[Moto X General] icon123:
He did but it didn't work. He's working on another way to keep root. I think he figured it out and is currently testing it.
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
That's how I understood it. Hopefully neither of us is wrong.
[Moto X General] mj0528:
Doesn't really seem all that logical. T mobile just got it today and no one has indicated they have even attempted to go back to 4.2.2. Only ones that have tried are at&t on the leak and Verizon.
[Moto X General] natezire71:
once this is confirmed working, I'm going through this thread and quote each one of you to pay JCase
[Moto X General] mj0528:
That's right! Pay up suckers lol

Just kidding!
[Moto X General] natezire71:
I'm not kidding. :p if it works, someone made a cool chunk of change
[Moto X General] mj0528:
I know, I'm just playing with the firm request to pay up

We paid well on the last bounty so I'm sure people will keep their word as long as it works on their carrier.

Naw mean?
[Moto X General] matt99017d:
---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

I certainly plan on it! However I haven't been able to figure it out as of yet.....something about a failed link file does not exist. I'd have to flash back and try again to know for sure. I'm on the leak for att. I've already flashed back 3 times to fart around. But now I have a lot of data and no known easy way to save and restore if I RSD back.
[Moto X General] MustWarnothers:

[Moto X General] Kesem:
I'd contribute $35 after 4.4 rolls out to XT1080 Droid MAXX and the Root is working there. From what I understand its 95% the same.
[Moto X General] natezire71:
Wrong thread then. This is for the MotoX.
[Moto X General] dhoppy:
$10 for VZW root on 4.4.
[Moto X General] Kesem:
I understand that it is not directly for XT1080. From everything I have been told achieving the root is 95% the same. Why have two different bounty threads when the guy that does this one is going to do the XT1080 one too like Jcase did.

This will make the bounty higher here and incentive someone to do it quicker...

4.4 for XT 1080 isant even out yet.
[Moto X General] w0rdie:
This.

I understand you might get some joy out of going all WRONG THREAD BRO!!1! on someone, but try to relax.
[Moto X General] TheDave1022:
Maybe add a note that his bounty is for the XT1080
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
You don't need root to have working Google wallet.

I used it already on kit kat
[Moto X General] MustWarnothers:
I wasn't referring to using Google Wallet on a phone, I meant do devs traditionally take payments through Google Wallet's send money feature?
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
Sorry about that. Was reading quick and misread the question.
[Moto X General] jcase:
It is complicated, and is based on RockMyMoto and MotoRoot (both mine) but here is 4.4 root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47745610#post47745610

It behaves like MotoRoot for now, so no R/W to system, but a solution to that is at hand, delivery of that is coming soon.

I just sent it on a technically non-adept blind faith. I read through all the posts on the root method jcase provides, but my distinct (non-technical) impression is that it is buggy and is not really a full solution at this time. Either way, it appears it can be achieved, so that's all that counts. For me, personally, I will wait until there is a more stable method available.

I think it may be time to upgrade my DS 209

I have came to decide that its a freaking scary NAS. The options are great, but everything runs as root, including the 3rd party apps like the bittorrent client. I need a more secure solution for the sensative things. But firmware and family video/photos it is great

not worth the time, plus they might have donated and didnt mention it
