Problem, I had WP 0 and root with 4.4. I'm having software bugs with 4.4. I've downgraded to 4.2.2 again through fastboot, losing root of course. I still have WP 0 but want to root again on 4.2.2.

RockMyMoto isn't working, It keeps telling me to continue with step 3 when I use it, i used it like a million times and rebooted nothing :( Even tried SlapMyMoto (I know that's 4.4 backdoor root) but thought it was worth a try and still no root.

How do I get root again on 4.2.2, Is there something I missed? thanks!
[Moto X Original Android Development] krazzyvishal:
Thanks for clarifying that! And what is the step after that is done?

whe flashing 4.4 ota,

flashing should flash via recovery?

or its ok via RSDlite?
[Moto X Original Android Development] _litz:
an "OTA" is always flashed either from within the OS (via the update process), or sideloaded via recovery.

RSDlite is used to apply a SBF.

The difference is, an OTA patches the existing filesystem, to upgrade from version X to version Y

RSDlite, when applying a SBF, formats and replaces the filesystem with the new version's image.

The non-Dev Edition isn't unlockable is it? I just bought a Verizon Moto X for my wife and it's already on 4.4.2.
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
For some carriers like T-Mobile and Sprint, you can get the bootloader unlock codes directly from Motorola.

For Verizon and ATT, correct, the bootloader unlock codes are not available from Motorola's web site, so you can't unlock the non-Dev Edition. (unless that Chinese site somehow starts selling bootloader unlock codes again).

Is there any way to root moto xt1060 verizon non-developer edition but without unlocking the bootloader
[Moto X Original Android Development] mschumacher69:
Depending on your android version. If it's 4.4.2, no. If it's lower than 4.4.2, yes...
[Moto X Original Android Development] JarMagic:
Bootloop

I was using SlapMyMoto and I thought I had unrooted everything, but when I took the ota, I got stuck in a bootloop. Any chance there is a fix?
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
You are stuck in a bootloop because you likely no longer have stock recovery, or the boot partition is no longer pointed at the recovery partition (trick so you can boot with write protection disabled)

If you have ADB/Android Platform Tools, and Moto's fastboot properly configured on your PC... boot the phone into bootloader or fastboot mode, then open a command prompt on your PC and use the following command...

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

that will remove the update zip file from the phone's cache and stop the boot loop.

If you are taking the 4.4.2 OTA, remember, you will NOT be able to root or disable write protection on your phone. Once 4.4.2 is on there, SlapMyMoto and MotoWpNoMo will not work.
[Moto X Original Android Development] JarMagic:
Thanks

Thanks, I didn't know about that, I'll put that in my bag of tricks. I had a mild panic attack and rsd'd which worked, but I installed 4.4. I'll go back to 4.2.2 tomorrow and Slap.
[Moto X Original Android Development] JarMagic:
Downgrade

Ok, so I got out of that mess, by RSDing, and I am now on 4.4, with write protection off. I finished the root process, but I didn't root. I thought I needed to downgrade to 4.2.2, but when I tried with RSD I get the following error message attached. Then I tried to use recovery, but I got the red explemention point. I am assuming that steps 1-3 of SlapMyMoto are no longer on my phone after RSD, am I wrong? Am I screwed? I hope that there is still root in my future.

Thanks:)
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
That is an error downgrading due to GPT.BIN not allowing it. That tells me you had 4.4.2 on your phone and are trying to flash something older than 4.4.2. You will NOT be able to downgrade. If you manage to get it to downgrade, you will set yourself up to brick, if you don't brick in the process.

Boot the phone to bootloader mode it should show the bootloader's version number. Is it 30.B4 or is 30.71.
[Moto X Original Android Development] JarMagic:
Downgrade

But I still have write protection off. I thought if you went to 4.2.2, it was patched. I side loaded 4.4, and my phone says 4.4. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

It says 30.B2 (sha-00086aae. 2013-10-17 15:07:32)
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
30.B4 is 4.4.2, So you may have 4.4 on there.. If so, then you what 4.2.2 are you trying to flash? could it be the "pre-camera update" 4.2.2?
[Moto X Original Android Development] JarMagic:
Is the pre camera update 12.7.7 or 12.15.15? The later is the one I've been trying to use.

I'm looking to get a Moto X and even though I had one around Christmas and rooted it, I need to ask if root is no longer possible with 4.4.2. Can't downgrade anymore like with jcases explooit ? I gave the other one to my son and now that I need another one I looking at an X, or maybe some other rootable newer phone how about the Ultra, or droid maxx. Thanks in advance
[Moto X Original Android Development] mschumacher69:
I don't think the Maxx can be downgraded, I think the bootloader has been upgraded with every OTA...

4.4.2 is rootable only if you can unlock the bootloader...

[Moto X Original Android Development] JarMagic:

So even though I'm on 4.4, there is no way to downgrade Maxx? That bites...I thought from the directions it could be done as long as you are not on 4.4.2. Did I read wrong?
[Moto X Original Android Development] mschumacher69:
Those instructions are true for the Moto X...
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
The Moto X can be downgraded from 4.4 to the "camera fixed" 4.2.2 OTA version.

The Droid Ultra, once on 4.4 can not be downgraded (See -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577029 )

So if the Maxx is anything like the Ultra, if you have 4.4 on it, you're stuck.
[Moto X Original Android Development] _litz:
Note that if you get a Developer Edition X, these restrictions go away ... you can unlock the bootloader on that version (and that version only) if you are ATT or VZW, and then you can root or do whatever you want to with the phone.

[Moto X Original Android Development] AaronCompNetSys:
If you are on 4.4.4, there is nothing you can do beside hope for purchasing an unlock code from China.
[Moto X Original Android Development] devaughnaw:
I might attempt to do it. How long did it take you to perform the task?

My main reason for rooting is so I can download Greenify but I've heard the Moto X already has great battery life. I'm not in a huge rush to root though.
[Moto X Original Android Development] MaddHatt3r:
Good clarification, I did not consider that as I did not manually reboot the device
[Moto X Original Android Development] lowvolt1:
It takes a little bit.
[Moto X Original Android Development] MaddHatt3r:
Of straight work? I have no idea, I did it while watching hockey and had a dinner break in there too. Between re-learning how to setup adb and executing the rooting, maybe an hr. That is purely a guess though.
[Moto X Original Android Development] stillthisguy:
When it is all said and done, you will be able to boot Normal - no system access, but still root or Recovery, system access and root. Best to say in normal, until you need root or system access to something.

Need help on Step 7

I've pushed all the files and am now at Step 7.

I typed "adb shell" and then typed the following:

echo "/data/local/tmp/rec.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper

The command prompt said:

can't create /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: permission denied

But, I toggled on Bluetooth anyway as instructed, but the phone is not rebooting as stated in the instructions. ??
[Moto X Original Android Development] MaddHatt3r:
Start Step 6 over again, something didn't go right there. I went through that too.
[Moto X Original Android Development] devaughnaw:
I think I'll probably wait a bit.
[Moto X Original Android Development] eyc:
Argh. I started Step 6 over 3 times, and it didn't work.

When I type in "echo "/data/local/tmp/rec.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper," do I type it in exactly as it appears there with the quotation marks and the '>' symbol?
[Moto X Original Android Development] lowvolt1:
I copied and pasted and still got permission denied.
[Moto X Original Android Development] eyc:
Also, after Step 6, once the phone reboots, I have to unplug and plug it back in for adb to recognize it. Maybe that's the issue? I can't get it to recognize otherwise.
[Moto X Original Android Development] MaddHatt3r:
yes your entry should look exactly as it does in the code box. All 5 of those adb push commands are showing data transfers? there should be something below the command that says like 1500kb successfully moved of something to that effect.
[Moto X Original Android Development] lowvolt1:
I know when I did mine it says something like invalid something or other but then transfers data anyway.
[Moto X Original Android Development] eyc:
Interesting you should say that. The first 3 times, they showed 0. Then, on my last try, I was showing data transfers for each, so I was sure it would work. I'll try it again. First, I am getting a glass of scotch to take the edge off.
[Moto X Original Android Development] lowvolt1:
I noticed that it took a bit to recognize it again.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Well I will have another go at it in the am.
[Moto X Original Android Development] eyc:
It is the AM, my friend. At least in the midwest. Keep truckin.
[Moto X Original Android Development] MaddHatt3r:
I didn't see what you said about plugging and unplugging to regain your adb connection before, you shouldn't have to do that. When it reboots, give it a min before you enter an adb command, if it says its not recognized give it some more time or do adb devices then resume on plan
[Moto X Original Android Development] eyc:
Rather than starting all the way over, would it be appropriate to restart at Step 4? Or will that cause problems?
[Moto X Original Android Development] MaddHatt3r:
going back that far would bring you pre OTA, which would mean you would have to revert. The furthest I would go back would be step 5 without starting all over again.
[Moto X Original Android Development] somerandomname1:
Bah! Went through the whole process again, everything went fine, installed SuperSU, it prompts for a reboot, I reboot and I get the constant crashes again!

Might I suggest you read this thread in the GENERAL Section -> [One Stop Shop] How do I root my Moto X - Let's end the confusion

In particular see this post -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54671918&postcount=70

And do not EVER DOWNGRADE unless told to in a process like SlapMyMoto, etc. There are only CERTAIN RARE situations where downgrading is possible doesn't cause a bricked phone. Downgrading from 4.4.4 (currently the latest) to anything will cause a brick.

Keep in mind, that the vulnerabilities that SlapMyMoto, PwnMyMoto, RockMyMoto, MotoWpNoMo exploited to gain root and disable write protection have been patched LONG ago, so these processes are now "out of date" unless you are on an OLDER ROM. As you can see in the OP it says "This is a "root path" for the 4.4 update"... it does NOT mention being usable on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4.

I restarted my phone around 6pm and the boot image was a purple motorola m. Instead of the spinning motorola m globe, the boot animation was a mountain town with animals in houses. Each "globe spin" zoomed to a view through a window at different house with a different type of animal family. Something I hadn't seen before.

I restarted my phone twice since then and I just get the standard normal boot animation.

I cant post the link yet (not enough posts) but google "[New App] Motorola Boot Services App Brings A Festive Wintry Boot Animation To The Moto G" and it will come up

Its ignoring Androids normal location for the bootanimation.zip file. during boot it is using the bootanimation.zip file located in /data/local.

I switched that one out using root explorer to the one I want and all is well now.

So yesterday, I was clumsy and I let my phone drop on my floor in the room. I have the Laza and case and the battery. I quickly picked it up and put my battery inside and put the case inside. I turned it on. I'm running stock. It turned on and displayed the T-Mobile, SGH-T989 and loading bar. It loaded all the way, but didn't go past that screen. So I proceeded to turn off the phone and restart. It worked and booted successfully. then for some reason I wasn't convinced. So I restarted again. After that it hasn't booted past the SGH-T989 screen. I went to TWRP and it was asking me for a password when I never added a password. I think my phone is messed up. My phone is working fine with AOSP, but on stock it messes up. I put back on stock yesterday and it was working fine. However, today on the bus, it restarted by itself and it didn't boot past that dreaded screen. What can I do?
