are you two ********************** serious right now your looking for typo's is my guide. i did the last fix because it made sence to make sure users understood that it was the guide for rooting that is why i made the change.

as for the seriousness of my thread i could careless if they dont find it serious enough for them dont read it and find there info someware else.

as for the corrections i wanted people to look for and add/post was anything that i missed that is important or something i typed that is wrong. and this is ware you two grammar queens come in clearly, anything that just dose not make sense when reading.

but the human brain can read a sentence ware all the words are mixed up so i think we are ok with a there or their being wrong it just is not worth the time to change

thank you very much for your support

clear people have nothing better to do but nit pick at other peoples hard work so they feel smart because they have nothing to contribute

1. Correct if verizon finally got the 4.4.2 OTA then yes you would take the OTA, then unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, Flash SuperSU, and then enjoy.

2.Correct if you make a nandroid backup of 4.2.2 then update to any different android version that nandroid back becomes worthless and you will have to make a new one after you update.

i just went threw this yesterday and today. because i just updated to Sprints 4.4.2 OTA

3.Stock is any version of android with no root required modifications, like tweaks and mods that require SuperSU permission to do there work.

as for the second part of your question the best place to get Stock firmware for the moto x is from the SBF website that someone above posted the link but here it is again.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

4. This question really has nothing to do with nandroid back ups it have more to do with bootloader versions. im going to post a link to a thread all about bootloader versions but i will still go into abit here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635366

here are the different version's of android the moto x has 4.2.2/4.2.2 Camera Update/4.4/4.4.2 ok each version of android has a different bootloader version because Motorola upgrades them with each update. now the only version of android that allows you do downgrade for some reason is 4.4. you can downgrade 4.4 to 4.2.2 Camera update but that is it you can't downgrade 4.2.2 camera update to 4.2.2 and same goes for 4.4.2 to 4.4 the reason why is the bootloader won't allow you to. so if you update to 4.2.2 and try to use your 4.4 nandroid backup it will cause issues because it is trying to change the boot partition back to 4.4 and it is not allowed.

hum not sure if that made any sense at all it is very hard to explain but i would just recommend reading threw the thread i posted it is the best place for all the information on bootloaders.

but anyways i hope all the info here helps you out in some way.

Enjoy all.

Read my thread above . Try to ignore the woman haters throwing temper tantrums.

Some reported getting a refurb Moto Maker Moto X on 4.4.2 already. However, about 2 weeks ago a friend of mine got a Dev Ed and it shipped with 4.2.2 pre-camera update. It immediately started downloading the 4.2.2 post-camera OTA, so be careful.

quick question, pre cam and post cam, what does this refer too? and what's are the pro's and cons of them?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
This refers to the 4.2.2 ROMs for the Moto X because there are two:

1. The one that shipped with the Moto X when it was first released, this is referred to as "pre-camera OTA" 4.2.2

2. The 1st OTA which has some camera enhancements, this is referred to as "post-camera OTA" 4.2.2

What you need to know is that once you upgrade to the post-camera OTA 4.2.2, you cannot downgrade to the pre-camera OTA 4.2.2 anymore.
[Moto X General] thundercles:
The OP should say in variants for the 1056 "SIM locked" or else someone should let me know they found a Sim unlock solution so I can stop wasting my time finding one. It is actually about as locked as u get because it is locked out of other carrier Sims and domestic gsm bands. One can get sprint to unlock it for other carrier Sims and then flash the 1053 radio onto it to make it "Sim unlocked" in theory but it would loose CDMA functionality. I'm currently working on a uicc unlock solution and going a different route with it then was taken for the HTC one and s4 as I have heard autoprime has tried doing it his way on the 1056 and has been unable. Anyone who has a uicc unlocked 1056 "done by sprint ota" I'd appreciate it if they dropped me a message and could help me get some dumps from some of the more obscure partitions as that is where this lock resides since flashing just about everything to the phone can't touch it even with boot loader unlocked and msl zeroed.

quick question

I am not rooted and my boot loader is not unlocked, i want to re flash 4.4.2 to see if it will clear up a problem I am having. I was planning on trying this thread return to stock section my question is should I follow it exactly or in my case (no root no unlocked bootloader) should I omit or change anything. My phone is new and i have a rma to send it back but i was gonna try this as a last ditch effort because I want to keep it.

Here is the list of adb commands on 1st page

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img <---- do i need to use mfastboot?

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot oem lock <--- should i skip this or does it not matter?

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot
[Moto X General] NWKENT:
Use fastboot command, one or the other..not both..

oem lock command is for Dev models only..to relock the boot loader..

I find RSD Lite to be much easier...

If u insist on using fasboot commands instead, yes you do need to use moto fastboot to flash system.img because the stock android fastboot cannot flash it. Regarding fastboot oem lock, this would re-lock your bootloader and there's no point in doing that...

Thanks for the help, I did go ahead and flash everything with mfastboot edited out the oem command, unzipped rom into adb folder and with eksasol help edited the stock .bat and ran it. Things went very smooth.

upgrades and nandroids

I've been reading so many posts I think I have confused myself now. Building on your statement- I have DE 4.2.2 rooted w a number of stock and modded nandroids 4.2.2 based. Now if I take the upgrade I understand there is no going back to pre-camera stock.

So Would I be able to nandroid back to pre-camera 4.2.2 or post camera 4.2.2 if I try the 4.4 or the 4.4.2 update and don't like it for whatever reason?? The 4.2.2 pre camera touchless controls sucks. The voice wakes at every little word that is said just about

Again, DE unlocked BL & Rooted, running phils recovery and some xposed mods. (and BTW phils recovery is the shiznit! why isn't everyone running it?) is there somehting it can't do that twrp can?

If you go back from 4.4.2, then take any ota down the road ....you'll probably brick.

[Moto X General] kerryh420:
Thanks for the quick reply! and I'm sorry to beat this dead horse. Does that include 4.4? Not 4.4.2, I really like the "ok google" function but its annoying as hell when its going off at times I don't call her to. But given the choice of having a working touchless enabled phone or a bricked DE ....

And why would motorola do that to us DE owners? Isn't that the point of buying one?

Thanks again for the insight
[Moto X General] :
The DE lets you keep your warranty .....that's its only difference.

Some are debating that downgrading is fine. Even taking ota's after is fine. They say.

Maybe some succeed ....but there's threads here of others that tried, and bricked. Seems like Russian roulette to me.

Just be careful. ;)

Sent from my N5 cell phone telephone....
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
The only downgrade path is 4.4 > 4.2.2 post-camera OTA, even on a DE with an unlocked bootloader, any other attempt to downgrade would fail.

If you attempt to downgrade with RSD Lite, it would fail because gpt.bin fails to flash, no brick. But if you attempt to frankenstein a downgrade method where you would flash everything except gpt.bin and any file that can't be flashed, you would downgrade successfully, no brick, but you would brick if you take an OTA after that...

Regarding restoring a nandroid backup, I'm not sure if a nandroid backup would backup gpt.bin and the bootloader as well, if it does, the restore would fail and you might brick. If it doesn't, the restore would succeed but you would brick when you take an OTA.

As [MENTION=4036181]kj2112[/MENTION] said, there's absolutely no difference between DE and non-DE devices, neither in hardware nor in software. The only difference is that the DE has a black bezel and white back with DE written on it and you would not void your warranty if you unlock your bootloader.

I don't worry about warranty as much as I worry about loss or physical damage, so I have device insurance. Will unlocking the bootloader some how void any future claim I may have to make if I lose our break my phone?
[Moto X General] NWKENT:
Sir..Friend..

Doesn't matter what version OS..Unlocking the device is "independent" from the OS..(example) unlocking is like, building a much better foundation, to build the house on..Yes..they are integrated, but they are still separate in a since..it is suggested to have a clean, undefiled OS before unlocking..but many have been successfull, including myself with unlocking on my daily driver configuration..

As for your warranty concerns..Moto clearly states, only the Developer Edition retains its warranty, when unlocked..but..I'm no expert with warranty issues..maybe go to Moto's sight and research..just me thow..

I never really worry about warranty for the most part, I have been loyal to Moto exclusively since the beginning of cell phones..never claimed a warranty..a lot of it is how one treats the device..I trust what I am purchasing..again..just me thow..

:)

Unlocking the device is very simple to an experienced one..but to someone that has little or no experience, it can be a great undertaking.. If you are unsure..go to my pages..I have FXZ's that install TWRP for you, using RSDLite or adb..all then one needs to do is install SuperSU and reboot into TWRP ( Recovery ) Reboot to System..answer yes by sliding..when the device is booted to activation screen..you will now have Root..

EDIT: Never mind..your with Sprint..all my FXZ's are for Verizon devices..Sorry

[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
The bootloader can always be unlocked as long as you have the unlock key regardless of the Android version that you have...
[Moto X General] zerogun:
If you are with Sprint, you can unlock your bootloader anytime, any OS version, as long as Sprint doesn't change their policy and force Motorola to take Sprint devices off unlock lists.

Anyways, to unlock and root, do the following:

Install Android SDK

Install Motorola device drives

Follow unlock bootloader guide in post 1

After you unlock the bootloader, download fastboot files and TWRP for your Moto X Version

Flash TWRP recovery.

Flash SuperSU in TWRP (http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip)

No you have root and an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto X General] Hammerdroid:
sweet that sounds easy enough.

The thing is, I'd have to do wireless adb because the USB ports on my relic of a laptop won't support the device saying something to the effect of the ports are low speed and the device is high speed... So I can't get the Motorola drivers installed.

[Moto X General] zerogun:
Wireless ADB doesn't come into the equation. Unlocking requires the device to be in Fastboot mode and you will have to use fastboot cmds.

Also, you should still be able to get fastboot to work without a USB 2.0 plug. Try putting your phone into fastboot mode and plugging it in. It might work.
