Have you ever sideloaded anything? Tried to install something. Try anything? Something happened with your boot loader that made it change. Either or it is not a big problem. Verizon will replace any device. Rooted or not. ...... Motorola will check but does not care that much for simple things

Only even remotely non-normal-user thing I've done with this was install the Google launcher that was floating around. But I can't imagine how a launcher could do stuff at a low enough level to mess with system files and trip an integrity check.

Seems like I'm not the only one, though. Folks were seeing stuff with the Moto X in this regard after 4.4, and someone posted the same thing about the Maxx too. Someone on the second thread said they got confirmation from Moto about this but it seems up in the air to me.

I just care about my warranty not being denied on account of them thinking I'm doing things I wasn't, that's all.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] r00st3r9109:
Your warranty will be fine. This issues never have came to my attention so I will go and check some thing out and see what we can find.

Downloaded file from OP, but it's labelled as "Blur_Version.12.15.15.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US", the OTA 4.2.2 update?

Also, vith a Maxx with write protect removed that was previously rooted, how can I get my stock recovery back? I've tried restoring to stock using House of Moto, but whenever I try to boot to recovery it shows me the android on its back with the red exclamation mark...
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Its supposed to do that. Also new OTAs are named by the version they are upgrading from.

problem flashing

I solved this problem by downloading a leaked fxz for the droid maxx developer edition.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] chevyrado14:
I believe you have to start the slapmymoto process unrooted.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] supersailor89:
I'm on 4.4 and can't downgrade
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Tomell:
Could you walk me through how you flash the leaked Dev addition? If seen the tut, but it doesn't quite help a noob, even tho I know what I'm doing I haven't done any rooting since my Droid RAZR Maxx....and thanks for whoever can help with this request.:confused:

Did you take the OTA?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] supersailor89:
no i used the dev edition droid maxx 4.4 and i used rsd lite

/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
[Motorola Droid Maxx] killboredom:
Will I need to re-sign the update after modifying the script, or should zipping it back up be sufficient?

Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
If you're unlocked zipping is fine...if you're not unlocked you'll need to re-sign.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] killboredom:
Feel like I'm getting closer. I ripped out all of the apply_patch_check steps in the script that validate the system and modem. saved and signed using Android Signer. When I sideload now, it says:

Finding Update package...

Opening Update package...

Verifying Update package...

Installation aborted.

This is what I get whether I sign or try unsigned. Btw, I have a locked bootloader.

So it seems like it's treating the signed update.zip as though it weren't signed. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong signing it?

Any thoughts?

Thanks again for all the help! I'm determined to get this sucker working without waiting for new FXZs!
[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
I'm not sure. I'm on a dev edition and just ripped out the patch_checks and anything that has to do with recovery so I can keep my CWM recovery in case something bad happens. Make sure if you deleted stuff in that file it ends with a semi-colon

(;)

that was one of the things that messed mine up earlier and caused it to abort.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] justpastfinish:
Question. Does this wipe at all? Or can I flash and be the same just on 4.4?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
Does not wipe

Anyone else having "com.android.systemui has stopped working"? My buttons don't work at the bottom and it just keeps sending me to my lock screen. I am using GEL. Tried do a factory reset to stop GEL from being default but still happened.

My own mistake, edited the updater script wrong and wasn't updating correctly.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] reggie14:
I shouldn't have tried to apply this. I hosed up my phone.

When my phone attempts to boot I get a:

"Partition (boot) security version downgraded

Boot up failed"

Is there any way to fix this?

Not until the fxz files get released.

Well ****, I just got the "Partition (boot) security version downgraded" when trying to apply the OTA. Would not recommend adb sideload, as that was the method I tried.

I am completely stock. I tried to apply it and it failed. I tried again and noticed the recovery was different. When I tried to use update.zip this time it took it.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] nocaldawg:
Where did the zip file come from?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Collisionc:
Here's what happened to me, first up, I did not use sideload... but I did get the same error.

1: Transferred .zip to Droid Maxx.

2. Used "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery mode

3. Held down Volume Up + Power for a few seconds, release.

4. Selected update from Zip

5. The phone showed a few lines here, then rebooted quickly, so I thought it failed.

6: It booted up to the screen that you mentioned, and I thought "Well, looks like I've screwed up this super-simple task somehow."

7: I did Recovery again, because it appeared that the resolution/font had changed somewhat, so maybe it's a multiple-restart installation.

8: Updated from zip again.

9: Everything worked out, no other issues. I'm on 4.4 KK right now... unfortunately non-rooted, but that was my own fault from a previous step. :)
[Motorola Droid Maxx] ssb13:
I more or less had the same result.

Booted to recovery.

Applied update from SD

Phone rebooted to new recovery

Applied update again and it installed KitKat

Done.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] jarrettv:
Same here. After unzipping the double zip file all is well. My stock moto launcher crashed one time but everything else is fine and I now have tap to pay with google wallet.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] socobandit:
So, if I want to do this, I unzip the "Droid maxx kitkat update" zip, then take the zip file that shows up in the folder, place it onto my internal storage on the phone. Does it matter if i just put it there with a usb cable while the phone is up? Not sure how to use adb push, and don't quite understand why it would need to be done that way. Also unsure of adb sideload, cuz I've never used it. But then I could just boot into recovery, apply update from zip, and away we go? FOrgot, have to rename the "Blur...." zip to update.zip.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] cliberti:
Not necessary. Steps I took on my unrooted Maxx.

1) download file

2) extract

3) Move file to /sdcard

4) rename to update.zip

5) put phone in recovery

6) flash update.zip

7) phone will reboot like nothing happened

8) put back in to recovery

9) flash again

10) now you have Kit Kat once it reboots again
[Motorola Droid Maxx] socobandit:
Thanks! I was rooted, but i used rsd to flash back to stock 12.15.15(camera update). I dont know that i'll be bothered with trying to use slapmymoto cuz the only thing i'd use it for is TB, and that was only for backing up game progress. Decided I don't need all the games I had, and this thing runs so smooth, I doubt I'll need to be installing any roms on it. Might wait now for the update anyway since it seems SO many people got bricked with no way(yet) to get back.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] pschatz12:
I was bricked from the update and just used rsd light to get back. No problems at all

You were completely stock unrooted, non developer edition maxx, correct? I'm downloading now and going to follow these steps and keep my fingers crossed

Very strange though. when i try to get into recovery i get the android with a red triangle in it.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] cdd543:
That's normal--just hit the up button(plus power) I think to see the options.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] chevyrado14:
just got a copy of the sbf from moto. its legit my phone is rebooting right now. i had to use moto's fastboot because the regular fastboot wouldnt flash the system.img. if you are still bricked hang in there the sbf works!

can you share steps? i cant get into stock recovery. i get a red triangle with an ! in the middle

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

can you also upload the file you got from moto?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] chevyrado14:
this is what they told me to do. you will need the sbf to do this. i dont think they want me to share it. but it should be out tomorrow.

If you are stuck with HAB 56 or other fastboot error , you need to reflash your device with the original factory software

1. Download the “Droid MAXX dev edition” image from this site.

2. Unzip the image

3. Put your device in fastboot mode

4. fastboot erase recovery

5. Reflash the original recovery partition image with

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

$ fastboot reboot

If this does not work, we recommend you need to reflash your device to original factory software

$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

$ fastboot reboot-bootloader

$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

$ fastboot flash system system.img

$ fastboot erase modemst1

$ fastboot erase modemst2

$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

$ fastboot reboot

[Motorola Droid Maxx] tCizler:
Can someone be more specific on how to get into recovery? When i try the steps on page 2....

Steps

* shutdown

* power + vol down to fastboot

* choose recovery (vol down)

* hold vol down (15 secs) then press power to stock recovery

* choose "apply update from sdcard"

* choose update.zip

I get to the part where i press vol- to get to recovery. Then the next step press and hold vol- for 15 seconds? this does nothing but move the cursor down to "Factory" and when i press "power", the phone just turns off. If i highlight recovery and then press vol+, the phone boots to the android man laying down with the red triangle and ! mark in it. I have to "power + vol-" to reboot.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Caseyk621:
Once you get to the android laying down hold vol up and tap pwr!

Glad to be on 4.4, it's much faster. In a bit disappointed in a few things though. They didn't update the stock launcher, the status bar icons aren't white like on normal KitKat, and the dialer is still the same. Just wondering, is there a way to get the circular battery icon on the Ultra? Or is it just a Maxx feature?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] zefyx:
Flashed just fine my Mini, thanks OP. I was getting sick of checking for updates every 5 minutes for the last few days.

EDIT: Don't forget to unlock your bootloader wth MotoWPNoMo and install root first. There is no telling when/if a 4.4 root will come to be!
[Motorola Droid Maxx] phositadc:
Just to be clear, you flashed the update.zip found in the op on a Droid Mini and it worked fine? Does your phone's settings now say it is a Maxx?

But that gap between wifi icon and signal strength is just ridiculous. No idea why Motorola hasn't fixed it. It's just sloppy.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] tCizler:
You do realize that this IS the official update, right? The only people who maybe affected are those installing this update on different phones, just because it works. And even then, future OTAs may still work
[Motorola Droid Maxx] zefyx:
The signature for all three updates is exactly the same. Future OTA will work just fine!

[Motorola Droid Maxx] rlmesq:
I can verify that it works on the Maxx (mine) and Mini (girlfriend's).
[Motorola Droid Maxx] LunaticSerenade:
I installed this last night with zero issue.

Just make sure you're completely stock first (I used House of Moto + the most recent FXZ, but you can do it with the .img files and a little bit of fastboot flashing).
[Motorola Droid Maxx] smtrekkers:
I get a "no command" error after selecting Recovery in the boot menu. Still on 4.2, locked, not rooted, but I was once in the past.

It will reboot ok after a minute or so, but can't flash the update since I can't get into recovery.

Can't figure out how to get past that.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Jay_P11:
Hold vol+ and then hit the power button when the recovery comes up. Then select apply update from sdcard and select the update.zip. Also, I noticed a weird status bar glitch with the GEL when going to Google Now page, seen in screenshot.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
What's the glitch? I don't see anything unusual
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Jay_P11:
The status bar icons being kept blue becomes a problem when they're hard to see on Google Now, they should've just left them white like on stock KitKat.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] smtrekkers:
Thanks! That worked. That extra step of holding vol up then power after selecting recovery wasn't in the op instructions, and was not intuitive to me. Maybe that "no command" error is not normal.

Upgraded to 4.4 on my mini now.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Jay_P11:
Glad to see that I helped, hope you enjoy KitKat. The "No Command" isn't an error, its completely normal.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
I didn't realize you have to press the power button on a mini. For the Maxx you can only scroll down and the vol up is what selects your highlighted choice. If you pass what you wanted you just keep pressing down and it'll start the list over from the top. I'll add the additional instructions to the OP for mini.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] smtrekkers:
That part is the same on the mini also. Once i selected Recovery and hit vol up it restart and came to the "No Command" screen with a laying down Droid with an exclamation mark in his belly.

That's where the extra step of holding vol up and power was needed to get to the menus to update from sd card.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] DVDDave:
Is this really gonna be the official ota? Because many have bricked when the installed the ota that they downloaded from vzw.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] nocaldawg:
What is the risk in doing this?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] jrgilbert79:
Only a soft brick.

I was able to fix mine by reapplying the recovery...

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from the files that the moto guy released in the soak test forum. Afterward I could apply update from sd with the same file that borked it to begin with and update to 4.4---only 2 days later.:highfive:

[Motorola Droid Maxx] SystemOAD:
Hello, friends!

I need your help :)

I tried to update 4.4, I copied update.zip into the phone, in the recovery chose "apply update from sd card" - recovery was updated. Then a phone rebooted, in the recovery menu, I instead of choose the second time "apply update from sd card", I chose "wipe cash" or "wipe data" (:

In the result, I have lost update.zip from my phone...

I can get to the fastboot menu, new recovery menu, but I don't know how to copy the update.zip to my phone.

I tried to update $ fastboot flash partition/boot/recovery/system - all the time it was failed with mistake "INFOInvalid boot image"

I tried to get update.zip by ADB, but when I enter to the recovery menu "apply update from ADB", my PC is loosing the XT1080 drivers, and ADB don't see the phone, I can't copy update.zip by ADB interface. When my phone was booted last time in v.4.2, the ADB was working.

What I need to do, to see my phone through ADB interface in the recovery menu. Thanks!

P.S.: waiting for FXZ 4.4.

STUCK ON Motorola Logo

So i flashed update.zip the first time and the phone didnt reboot as said in the op but instead went back to the recovery options..so i went into recovery again and flashed the .zip again where half way thru it showed some error saying something not found and installation aborted..i cant remember the exact words! it went back to all the menus and then i chose normal power up and since that time its stuck on the motorola logo!

I have tried to sideload it thru adb thinking maybe my .zip wasnt fine or something by redownloading it on my pc but adb doesnt detect the device now.

i also downloaded the factory image..RSD lite detects it but theres a error while flashing saying 'Failed Flashing Process.Unknown fastboot command. (getvar)'

Any kind of help would be appreciated i have no idea what to do now

I've been flashing and rooting sice the time of og DROID but im really stuck.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] chevyrado14:
on the fxz files you have to delete this line from the .xml file

<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />

or it wont work. also if you half flashed kitkat it wont go back to the 12.15.15 build anyway. you will have to wait until the kitkat sbf is released
