Relock your Moto X Bootloader

After downloading the image for your device:

Unzip the image.

Put your device in fastboot mode.

NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility

Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.

A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:

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

You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

After performing this sequence, you can relock your device with

fastboot oem lock
[Moto X General] Wool02:
Cool. My point was that relocking the bootloader using the OP info (and the same instructions above) did not work unless I started with 'fastboot oem lock begin'.
[Moto X General] hellt:
Guys, please, advise =)

I have a Dev ed moto x (so I assume my bootloader is already unlocked), I already have got the OTA 4.4.2 android and my build is KXA20.16-1.25

All I need is to get the root access to delete "emergemcy alerts" app

What is the most modern way to get the root access with less pain/bugs/etc?

To flash custom recovery (ie TWRP) or use the SlapMyMoto method?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Your bootloader is not already unlocked. So first, you have to unlock your BL through the Moto website and then flash TWRP and then SuperSU. It's as easy as that.

SlapMyMoto is for devices with a bootloader that cannot be unlocked...
[Moto X General] triton302:
Alright...

I followed the guide for the locked bootloader for my fiance's VZW locked X.

I've been dealing with bricking ever since. Now it's to the point where it's giving me the CID bullcrap, and I can't flash anything that doesn't fail.

So, am I f*cked to the point of no return for this damn thing?
[Moto X General] Cozume:
This is the thread you need to be posting on:

Slap My Moto
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Ouch... :P
[Moto X General] triton302:
Please explain why I need to be in the referred thread? It has nothing to do with my current FUBAR issue. I haven't even begun to even get close to rooting.
[Moto X General] hellt:
Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Unlocked bootloader and ready to flash custom recovery to gain the root. But have one more question.

I saw in the forums that there is a chance to get a bricked device if you get any OTA with while running 4.4.2 and particular version of bootloader.

Should I avoid any OTA in the future?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Because you said you followed the guide for Locked Bootloader which is SlapMyMoto and the referred thread is SlapMyMoto's original thread...

You should always avoid OTA's after modding ur phone. Return back to stock before you take any OTA...
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
I don't know what changed but this definitely did work!

the 2 things that I did differently was redownloading TWRP and mfastboot

and starting it off disconnected from PC and connected when your instructions told me too.

Thank you so much!!!
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
It looks like your previous download of twrp was corrupted...
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
Yea I'm not sure how it happened because I checked the file size and they were the same. Well im glad it's working now, thanks!

So.. how do I stop motorolla from nagging my phone about software upgrade now than I'm rooted
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Why didn't you install the OTA first and then root??
[Moto X General] Cozume:
So glad it worked! Have fun with your unlocked and rooted Moto X!!!!!!
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
I wasn't sure the method would've worked had I install OTA
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
It works up to the latest 4.4.2...
[Moto X General] Cozume:
Revert to stock, take the OTA and then reroot.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

yeah, lots of confusion about the differences regarding what you should do if you have an unlocked bootloader vs. a locked bootloader wrt OTAs.

The pros here know the differences, but it is not always clear to everyone else!
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
Ahh alright, so when you mean revert to stock, do I unroot my phone and lock back the bootloader?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
No, uninstall supersu, flash stock recovery, take the OTA, re-flash twrp and re-flash supersu.
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
Alright sounds simple enough, where can I find the stock recovery? or is that in the firmware link you supplised (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0) ?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
That's right, you'll find it in the zip file, make sure you download the same version that you already have...
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
ok so I got the recovery.img (for tmobile 4.4) and ready to flash, but how can I uninstall super user? it only allows me to uninstall updates and than disable
[Moto X General] drago10029:
So these instructions work with 4.4.2 unlocked bootloader? Just wanna be super clear since it seems some people here have already done it?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
There should be an option inside the supersu app.

That's right...
[Moto X General] 1dtms:
Perfect! I I was able to uninstall superSU and than went to bootmode and flashed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" than reboot into recovery. I was scared at first cause I got the red exclamation mark but after a reboot it rebooted fine. Did the update, and than the root process all over again so now I think/should have root in the new update!

Yay thank you guys for sticking me through the end.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
Glad to hear it worked for you!
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Good to hear that!

My XT1049 from C Spire is unlockable. Just had to keep trying I guess. At first I was getting denied then it worked.
[Moto X General] Cyphir:
My Republic Wireless XT1049 is currently not unlockable
[Moto X General] Cozume:
It is up to the carriers whether or not to allow a phone to be unlockable.
[Moto X General] Cyphir:
Not arguing that point but thanks for pointing that out. I guess the list needs to read that the C Spire XT1049 is unlockable and the RW XT1049 is locked.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
yeah. It is just like with Verizon the XT1060 is the model for the retail, Moto Maker and Dev Eds but only the Dev Ed is unlockable. Same model number, though.

This is minor, but it really looks bad imho: the typo is still there.

"What Devices Can Unlock There Their Bootloader". It's the same in the text. I don't want to be the grammar nazi here, but this takes away from the seriousness of the thread.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Actually, the whole sentence is wrong, it should say: "Which Devices Can Have Their Bootloader Unlocked" because the devices themselves cannot unlock their bootloaders...

But the sentence above is too long, so I would rather simply say: "Devices with an Unlockable Bootloader"...

Nandroid confusion

Thanks for the informative thread. I'm getting a VZW dev edition this week and am familiarizing myself with unlocking, rooting, OTA's, etc. I'm not trying to be dense however I have a few questions that I can't wrap my brain around yet.

1. Lets say the device comes straight out of the box with 4.4. My plan would be to just take the OTA and then unlock, flash TWRP, etc... Pretty straightforward.

2. Lets say the device comes straight out of the box with 4.2.2. (just roll with me here). I unlock, flash TWRP, root, and then make a nandroid backup. If I then return to stock per the OP to take the OTA does that make the nandroid backup that I just made useless? If I tried to restore the backup after the OTA will that result in a brick? Basically what I'm trying to figure out is once I take an OTA are previous nandroid backups useful?

3. What is "STOCK"? When everyone says "return to stock" I'm assuming they are referring to stock recovery, stock rom, stock firmware? For instance, if I take the OTA to 4.4.2 does that mean that 4.4.2 is now stock for my device? Or is it 4.4? Is the Motorola sight the best place to get the "stock" image?

4. Regarding the explanation to question 3 above, when 4.x.x comes out is it appropriate to assume that once the update is taken that it will be unadvisable to return to a previous build, ie restore an old nandroid backup?

Thanks in advance for the help. I know some of the questions are similar in nature but my confusion is a result of people using incorrect terms interchangeably on other sites. Trying to make sure I understand the obvious gotcha's.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] majdi:
i had a problem with my kjam lately where the cables that connects to the speaker was cut (because of the slide keyboard), everything works ok but the phone speaker, i can use it with any bt headset, and also if i want i can use it through the loud speakers, but not as a normal phone, the speaker is not working.

i have tried to get that cable locally, but it comes (as they said) as a whole set (screen, speaker, stereo speakers togather).

did anyone open the wizard to see if that's true?

the whole set cost alot here and actually i don't want to pay that much without making sure it's the only way. the reason why, i don't trust the guys here at the SC, i heard lots of stories where they fool the people to make them pay for something they don't need.

if anyone can confirm that i would appreciate it.

thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] OffBeatMammal:
there's a couple of posts here on dismantling the K-Jam (HTC Wizard) and someone even posted a link to the service manual ... not sure of the threads off the top of my head but a quick search should dig them up.

Given you can only have had the unit for a few weeks is there no warranty?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] majdi:
i still have a valid warranty, but this will not be covered under warranty, they consider it as a mis-use, since the cable was cut, and the thing is that there is no way to prove it's from the unit itself.

anyway thanks for the reply, i will try to search for the thread here.
[General Questions and Answers] dorkgeniuz21:
I have had my Motoactv watch rooted for quite some time now and its been working flawlessly, however, the two problems I cant seem to troubleshoot are

1.Where for the love of god do I find a perfect calculator app that fits the screen perfectly. Every app ive downloaded the screen shrinks to the point where several buttons get mashed together.

2. On a similar subject, I have been trying to use the mouse & keyboard remote app to control my pc but when attempting to add a new server on the watch I get as far as adding the name & ip numbers but I cant save it due to the screen being too small for the save button to be shown.

Is there any way to resize the screen on certain apps or perhaps have a scroll option of some sort that will allow me to view these apps in full size somehow?
[General Questions and Answers] Artimis:
1. There is a good calculator app included with DPRom. I can pull the apk and post later today/tonight if you need it

2. Download the Xposed framework installer and App settings module found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2490548

This will allow per-app DPI settings. It's better than changing the DPI globally as that can adversely affect other apps. In order to install the Xposed framework and modules, you need to make sure the apks are moved/installed to phone storage first before running them or the changed will not go into effect.

You must be S-Off to do this

Just do in bootloader

1) fastboot oem rebootRUU

2) fastboot erase cache

3) fastboot flash zip firmware1.55MOD.zip -- in this point please wait a moment

4) fastboot reboot-bootloader

optional reboot in recovery for test

Important: The flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!

The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before

reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!

So... I purchased a t-869 tab from someone.

-I got it at 100% battery, immediately plugged it in.

-It was on and plugged in, battery dies. Doesnt charge at all.

-Wont charge when off.

-Doesn't show the X over the charging icon, shows the proper lightning bolt animation.

-Did a factory reset through recovery, booted with 100% battery. (immediately after showing 0%)

-Stayed on for about an hour, didn't charge when plugged in.

-Died again.

Any ideas? I have 3 Samsung chargers, 1 rocketfish. All act the same way.

It will stay powered on when plugged in without any problems.

I figured it was a software issue based on all my searching.

Flashed CWM and CM11, no dice.

Tried to flash the kernel for the t869 in the PA thread, but now it's stuck at the CM screen..

Hey, is there ANY difference between the Nexus 5 on the Play Store and the Nexus 5 that T-Mo sells in their stores?

I ask because my gf and I are switching to T-Mobile later this month and she is going to get the Nexus. She wants to be sure that if she doesn't like T-Mo then she can take the phone to another carrier, like AT&T. We want to use the ETF money to get a reduced price on the Nexus, but if we can't bring the phone to another carrier then we might have to buy it from the Play Store instead.
