My Moto X is XT1058 Retail from Brazil.

The latest stock ROM I can find is fastboot-ghost_retbr-user-4.4-13.11.3Q2.X-69-3-8-9-release-keys-cid12-Brasil-BR.tar.gz

If I grab the recovery.img from this archive and do mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img will that go back to stock recovery without removing root? Also, what would happen if I actually used the stock recovery? Would it keep SuperSU and changes I made to /system?
[Moto X General] nish0021:
I think it will just flash stock recovery. Nothing else will change. But do check if the android version is the same. Hope u understood...

U can get 4.4.4 Retail Brazil from here:

[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Flashing only recovery.img with mFastboot will not remove root. And you should be able to use Stock Recovery (to clear data, cache, and potentially update. Update would depend if the OTA's pre-install checks verify your recovery version and it matches)

Since you unlocked your bootloader as part of rooting, write protection will not be re-enabled by flashing stock recovery on the phone.
[Moto X General] Yann68:
Can i flash my 4.4.4 firmware from here with custom recovery, TWRP or Philz? (I'm on 4.4.2 now, root, xposed, gravity and Philz recovery)...

...Thank you.
[Moto X General] :
No. You use fastboot or RSDLite.

See this guide for flashing firmware,

[GUIDE][VIDEO] Moto X - Return to 100% stock (using RSD Lite OR manual flash)
[Moto X General] Yann68:
Thank you...

But i'm on stock 4.4.2 unlocked BL, rooted, xposed and gravity instaled.

Sorry if i'm noob...it's necessary to do what you say? It seems too complicated.
[Moto X General] :
Read read read... Then follow the guides step by step.

No, There's no other way.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

You can flash stock recovery, run xposed uninstaller and hopefully there's no other significant system changes, then get the Ota, if and when it's available. But flashing the recovery involves using fastboot anyway.... So at that point, you can just flash 4.4.4 anyway.
[Moto X General] Yann68:
So, i can't find anywhere stock 4.4.4 which can flash like any custom rom...no chance?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Use RSDLite, it's really not complicated...
[Moto X General] :
There are stock based roms... But they aren't actually stock. So no.
[Moto X General] Yann68:
Not even this?...http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100&page=1
[Moto X General] :
No, they're only zipped for convenience. You need to unpack them and flash them with RSDLite or fastboot.

I'm sorry, there's no way around this.

And I have to say ... If you are that nervous to learn and try new things, then you should take some time and educate yourself on this stuff. Or, stop playing around with your device. Not trying to offend you... But these are basic tools with any device and if you don't want to learn to use them... You'll wind up in trouble one day and be totally lost.... When fixing issues with these tools is easy, once you take the time to learn about them.

Good luck! Not much else to say about it. Read read read... Then Use the tools, follow the instructions step by step. Done. This is how things are with this hobby. It takes time, patience and lots of reading. ?

Relock bootloader?

Hey i just wanted to thank you, i rooted my moto x using this thread and unrooted it using this too, now that i am unrooted i just wanted to know if anyone could help me lock my bootloader, thank you in advance.:D
[Moto X General] :
Why do you want to lock it? It will go to "relocked" status. It will never show "locked" again. So no point if it's to try to get warranty. ?

And if it's for OTA... Don't need to.

Dev Edition rooting and updates

Not sure how up to date this thread is and some of the sections are a little confusing.

I've got a Dev Edition on 4.4.3 and I just unlocked the bootloader. Do I need to downgrade the bootloader before root? Also, will I need to unroot if I want to apply updates (4.4.4 or 5.0) in the future?
[Moto X General] :
The sections all have headings.

No, you don't downgrade, or you'll likely brick. ?

Just follow the rooting unlocked bootloader section. It applies to all Android versions to date. ?

And for future OTA's... You will need stock recovery and no system changes. So if you use xposed say, you'll need to use the xposed uninstaller to uninstall it.

And most devices have 4.4.4 already? Not yours?
[Moto X General] Gix0r:
I literally just got it, so haven't applied 4.4.4 update. Didn't want to if I was going to have to downgrade anything. Thanks for the confirmation!
[Moto X General] :
Can't speak for 5.0....but an unlocked bootloader and 4.4.4 is as easy and basically the same as rooting any previous version. So I'd update first. ?
[Moto X General] dray_jr:
for unlocked bootloaders, it is very simple to root. you just install the custom recovery of your choice via

fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

then flash the Supersu.zip flashable

and you have root. i know most of us with unlocked bootloaders are hoping that 5.0 dose not change anything and that we will be able to root the same way. but we will see fingers crossed!!!
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
You don't even need to download and flash supersu manually, just reboot > system from twrp and it would prompt u to flash it...

Interesting issue. I have a new Verizon DE which I purchased a few months ago and have yet to use. Was planning on setting up this week. I wonder if I'll have the same issue getting an unlock code.

Another question I have is; when Lollipop comes out, will we lose root? If so, will it be able to easily be reestablished?

[Moto X General] ranger7424:
I know that if it is a VZW phone Motorola won't unlock the bootloader, they told me it is only supported on the Dev edition phones. I got mine as a regular phone on the moto maker site, not from Verizon, and they refused to assist me.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
There is a Developer Edition for Verizon, in addition to the GSM Dev Edition, which Moto will unlock.

But you are right, when it comes to the Standard Moto Maker and retail Moto X for Verizon, Moto will NOT give the bootloader unlock code for those.

[Moto X General] KidJoe:
[MENTION=6269549]Qxx1[/MENTION] when you say " recover some images" do you mean pictures that were accidentally deleted? If so, you're not going to like what I have to say...

Because you already have 4.4.4 on the phone, the only way to root it is to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, and root that way. The good news is Based on what you posted, You have an XT1052 running the stock AsiaRetail rom. To unlock the bootloader, you can visit Moto's web site and request a code. Its free, but doing so voids your warranty (at least per the statements on Moto's web site and in their warranty documentation, but local laws can/do vary).

Here is the issue or bad news... When you use the code to unlock the bootloader, it is a destructive process. In other words, it does a factory reset on the phone which erases apps, data, etc.

So you are in a "catch 22" situation. You can't use those tools which require root to recover your photos, because to gain root, you have to unlock the bootloader which does an erase of the data partition which could hurt your chances of recovering your photo's after you root.
[Moto X General] Qxx1:
so u mean to say even if i root my phone i wont be getting the image back or there are very very tiny chances i would?

how can i get it back then :crying:

i dont mind the warrenty thing but only if i could get the pics back..
[Moto X General] scryan:
Basically using the official boot loader unlock to then flash supersu and gain root would be your only rooting option. But as he stated during the unlock process the device is wiped, so in using this method to root you will have to wipe your device.

I take it the pictures are already deleted? How much have you been using the phone since they were deleted? Never tried file recovery myself, but my understanding is that files are not actually deleted... But the references to that block of data being a file is. That section of storage is then marked for re-use but until it is actually re-used the data has not been lost.

However if you have been installing things and trying a bunch of stuff on the phone, you may have already re-written it.

Unfortunately it sounds like there is not a lot you can do. Definitely keep the device off so its not writing to the SD card any more then is has to.

I think in your case the best you could do is download/install/write as little as possible to the phone, go ahead and unlock the bootloader. It will wipe but you already deleted anyways... flash su to get root and be ready to be disappointed. MAYBE you will have a small chance to recover some data.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Yeah, what [MENTION=5493962]scryan[/MENTION] very low chance you'll get the image back.

Since the official bootloader unlock (the only way to root 4.4.4) procedure will do a factory reset (aka wipe) of the phone and data. It may make it harder or impossible to recover.
[Moto X General] dray_jr:
the only way to get back something that is erased is to find a data recovery program i know they make some for Phones, SD Cards, USB Thumb Drives , Hard Drives. You might be able to use one of thou's program to try and recovery some of your images. they can find data on even if you have formatted and put data on the drive then formatted again it just lowers your chance of finding with your looking for.

If you just need Root to run one of the programs you can try Pie root by jcase it is a tethered root that has to be ran each time you restart and you dont get system write permissions but you mainly need to read and root so it is worth a shot that way you dont have to format your data partition again.

[Moto X General] Nicolae-Daniel:
can i unlock bootloader for xt1058? (AT&T)
[Moto X General] :
No unfortunately. You can use Sunshine, for $25 if you're on 4.4.3 or lower. That's your only option at this time.
[Moto X General] dray_jr:
i believe you can't but i am not sure the best way to find out is to just follow the guide to unlock your bootloader.

there is a part at the start that makes you copy and paste a long string of characters and paste it into a box on the Motorola site. when you hit enter one of two things will happen 1, it moves on and you continue unlocking your bootloader or 2. it tell you that it can do it on that device,

so if you really want to know for sure whether you can unlock your bootloader that is the way i would recommend finding out.

good luck bro hope everything works out for you.
[Moto X General] Nicolae-Daniel:
Just a little question.Let's say I am able to unlock the bootloader.OTA updates are possible only with locked bootloader,right?So,is it possible to relock bootloader?
[Moto X General] nish0021:
Bootloader unlock status doesn't matter. U can install ota even with an unlocked bootloader. And u can also relock bootloader if u wish to do so...
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Wrong... U can take OTAs on an unlocked bootloader as long as u're on stock recovery and 100% stock. U can relock but there's really no point in relocking...

new 2013 developer edition coming - quick question

So my beloved 1st gen Moto X was dropped and suffered a messy screen fracture. Ordered a 2013 Dev. Ed.

my original phone is still working.

when the new phone arrives do I first switch service from old phone to new, then root it, flash new rom, etc.?

or do I root the phone and flash it BEFORE i switch service to it?

please don't flame me. I truly don't know what is the best way to do this.

thanks,
[Moto X General] :
I would get it active first, just to be sure all is well. Then do the rest.

You'll keep your warranty anyway with a Dev Edition.... But why do all that just to find something is wrong with it. ?

But really, it doesn't matter.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I know you can re-lock if you used the code to unlock your bootloader.

But for those using Sunshine, I thought Jcase said it was a one way trip.. i.e. once unlocked using Sunshine, if you re-locked, you couldn't unlock again.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I agree with [MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] to a point... Yes, its better to make sure your NEW phone is working properly... But keep in mind that following the Moto process to bootloader unlock is "destructive". It will wipe your data/apps from the phone.

So, spend the minimum time to set it up, and test it. Remember, anything you do, will be undone when you go through the process and unlock the bootloader.

I ran mine for two or three weeks, with the minimum necessary setup (not all my apps or email accounts were on the phone) making sure it was working properly before I unlocked. But with the Dev Edition NOW it doesn't void your warranty, so technically you could take it out of the box, unlock the bootloader immediately, set it up, and if you have any problems, you can return it or get it replaced (depending on where you got it from).
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
I don't think u can unlock the bootloader before u activate the phone with a moto device id...

That's right, not unless u're still below 4.4.4 (or 4.4.3).
[Moto X General] idivorceyou:
thanks everyone for the help and well-considered advice.

the phone arrives today, I'm looking forward to getting it set up, rooting, and then flashing a rom.

As to which rom to flash, we all know how that process works...
[Moto X General] jrredho:
Actually that's not right. :)

I'm one of the Johnny come latelies to the MotoX, as I, too, scored one of these dev ed's on eBay. They come out of the box with 4.4.4. I unlocked and rooted it prior to activating it on Verizon.

I did, however, associate it with my Google account, I just didn't want to switch to it before I could get wireless tether on it....

To the OP, best of luck!

[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Since you've already unlocked the bootloader, visit one of the sites listed in -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/info-tip-web-sites-official-leaked-roms-t2923347 to download the latest 4.4.4 SBF for Verizon. And Flash it.

You could take OTAs, but they are incremental, so if you are on the original 4.2.2, you'll need to download and take the 4.2.2 w/camera OTA, then the 4.4.0 OTA, then 4.4.2 OTA, then 4.4.4 OTA. A long process drawn out process.

Flashing the 4.4.4 SBF with RSDLite or mFastboot will bring all parts of the phone directly up to 4.4.4 level, make sure everything matches, and you'll be set.
