Most likely those that had issues had done other modifications (modified build.prop, replaced a /system app with an inverted or merged in updates to /system apps from the downloaded updates, renamed a /system app or something else. Since Titanium doesn't touch the stock apps you freeze, they are there to be patched/replaced by the OTA as its script runs. 1 file out of place/modified/deleted and it'll fail..

Being part of all the previous SOAKs...I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get an invite this time.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Trust me, I know all about the manifest file inside, the files it checks for (and check sums), etc. I don't use TiBu, so all I can go by is the "all I did was root and freeze a few apps" followed by the "I unfroze them and it worked" posts..

I didn't get an invite either... however, in the past I got invites a few DAYS after I saw posts about invites going out, so there is hope :D and if not.. well, I can wait.
[Moto X General] bobo-the-drunk:
How do you receive these soak test invitations? Do they come via email, SMS, etc?
[Moto X General] tcrews:
You join the Motorola Feedback Network and you may (or may not) get an email to answer a survey. Then you typically get a follow up email if you were selected from the surveyed group telling you to expect it in the next xxx hours. Typically a few days later everyone starts to get the OTA.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
Has anyone heard anything since the original survey email a few days ago?
[Moto X General] rocketsaucev2:
Nope getting impatient. With the Moto g already getting updated before us imagine the wait after the new round of moto devices comes out this year.
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
Not a thing..sadly I answered the survey with my cracked screen Moto's info and my replacement just arrived. Kinda feel like I should've waited even tho the email said the window closes at their leisure.
[Moto X General] sivarticus85:
I was invited for the 4.4.2 OTA, and from the date I received the email to when I took the OTA itself was exactly 1 week. So, assuming the trend continues, we should start seeing it Thursday.

[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Just a heads-up: All you AT&T customers who are jumping on the "I Must Update NOW!!" bandwagon....you may find that after you update to 4.4.4, the TrustZone vulnerability has been patched, and if/when a bootloader-unlock exploit tool is released, it might very well not work for you.

We don't know yet if the TZ vulnerability has been patched in 4.4.4, but if you are at all interested in unlocking your bootloaders in the future, you will hold off on this update.

In my opinion, 4.4.4 isn't worth permanently losing the ability to unlock, but to each their own....root isn't important to everybody. If/when you are able to unlock, you can update to 4.4.4 without issue, and you will remain unlocked...

This has been a Public Service Announcement. You have been warned.

(This doesn't apply to anyone who can already unlock their bootloaders via the Official Moto Unlock website - mainly directed to those with AT&T Moto X variants.)
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
It'll be interesting to see once we get the FXZ's. The VZW Droids and Moto X did NOT update the TZ. However, the OTA update for Sprint has the TZ in it (then again, so did the VZW Moto X but it was the same as the previous version and was not included in the FXZ) so it remains to be seen if the FXZ for it will. No one seems capable of capturing the AT&T OTA update so I haven't been able to look at it yet.
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
I may not be in the right spot, but I bought a moto x (xt1058) from swappa. Said it was ATT with no markings. Come to find out it's got a Claro Puerto Rico firmware. I have found all the firmwares. Could I just sbf the att firware and all be fine? Thanks
[Moto X General] livinginkaos:
Well, surely someone can grab it now. It's available to pull .
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
ONLY if the Claro Puerto Rico firmware is on 4.4.2 or lower. If it is higher than this, you MUST wait until the official AT&T 4.4.4 SBF is released in order to do this safely. Any attempt to "downgrade" to a lower version can and likely will brick your device.
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
It is 4.4.2! So good to go??
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Yes, good to go. Use RSD Lite or manual method and it should work without issue. :good:
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
Does RSD lite require an unlocked boot loader?

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Strike that. Found the answer via "search". I can unlock with rsd. Been a while since in the Moto world. Thanks
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
You have to unlock with fastboot, not rsd lite. If the device is not already unlocked you will need to request the unlock code from Motorola, assuming this is a Puerto Rican device.

Good luck :good:
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Um. What? RSD can not unlock anything.

You can use RSDLite or mFastboot with a locked or unlocked bootloader..

However, IF your phone is a real Claro phone, then you might not be able to flash the ATT firmware, unless your bootloader is unlocked. To check... Unplug your phone from power or usb. power it off. Then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. It should boot into Fastboot AP/Bootloader screen and tell you the device is LOCKED status 0, or Device is UNLOCKED status 3.
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
You are correct. I misread the unlockr website. It said UNROOT. I would have found that later tonight when I go to tackle that. lol. oops. My bad
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
I would recommend flashing the Retail US (TMO) firmware instead of the ATT image because the ATT firmware is full of bloatware and I think WiFi tethering is disabled on it if I'm not mistaken. Retail US (TMO) is a Retail image which is bloatware free and has everything enabled. It is designed for the XT1053 so you might lose an LTE band or two (bands 5 and 7 to be precise), but it's fully compatible with the XT1058 and you would be able to connect to LTE using bands 2, 4 and 17.
[Moto X General] asatnik11:
I hope the T-Mobile release is being held up to work in VoLTE support.
[Moto X General] vikramkhalsa:
That would be cool!!
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
Motorola website says my phone cannot be unlocked. I am not finding away around this.. Any ideas?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Since your appears to be an actual Puerto Rican device, use the Puerto Rican Moto unlock website.

Here is a full list of the Moto unlock websites: https://motorola-global-es-latam.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215

I think you need to click the "PR" link under "Latin America", in the "Unlock" column. This should take you to the appropriate site.

You may need to use Chrome and Google Translate to do this. Also make absolutely sure you took all of the spaces out of the unlock data per the instructions.
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
You my hero! Thanks a million times over

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
What is it that you are doing? You need to unlock first, have you done that? Unlock by doing:

fastboot oem unlock YOUR_CODE_HERE

Have you gotten the code from Moto yet? You need to have either the android SDK installed, or the minimal adb/fastboot zip. Do you have this? Let me know -- I'll PM you a link if necessary.

I'm just not understanding what step you are on.
[Moto X General] ckeathley:
I unlocked then tried to get rsd to flash. Fastboot error. So I decided to flash all the stuff manually in fastboot. $ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

[Moto X General] Got_Evo?:
Just received 4.4.4 KitKat OTA. Located in San Francisco/bay area. Sprint no root v
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
No we're always first, we already got System version 212.XX.XX, but at the time we got it, 4.4.3 was latest not 4.4.4, that's why we got it on 4.4.3.

Moto push their updates based on System version not on Android version and they start releasing the System version batch to Carriers by turn, usually starting with Retail US (TMO). If a new Android version is released during the time a batch is still being pushed to Carriers, those Carriers who haven't received it yet would get it on the new Android version.

That's why Retail US got batch 212.XX.XX on 4.4.3 not on 4.4.4 and the others who followed got it on 4.4.4.

You can see here that we already got our scheduled 212.XX.XX batch first:

One must ask themselves: "Is this magical new feature or color scheme or -possible- extra 1 hour of battery life worth BRICKING my $300 phone?!?!" LOL
[Moto X General] abuttino:
If someone does get the update..... Please please please upload it to some sort of reputable source like Google Drive.

Not: RapidGator, RapidShare, TusFiles, MediaFire, etc.

Hell.. Give it to me, I'll host it for a few hours to get other people with the file so they can distribute it.

Slow sources can be frustrating and sometimes damaging to files.

I am thinking about starting a thread for this discussion. Probably Thursday..

As I discussed in another thread, altered devices must be returned to stock, no downgrade discussion and, list file sources..

If someone else starts it, please quote my downgrade and return to stock post in the 4.4.4 thread

If I am the OP, I'll gladly update the post with any reputable file sources and common problems with solutions.

Almost all "experts" here that feel like helping are going to be overwhelmed with a ton of requests. This place is going to be a madhouse the day it hits.

Just trying to help the masses get prepared.. I'm sure many of you have seen it before, but the new member count and lurking users come out of hiding for this stuff. I expect a lot because of the battery issues that we have all become very accustomed with.

My question is.. Is there a TWRP recovery for 4.4.4 yet, for the X?

Hopefully [MENTION=325732]Samurai[/MENTION]HL will greet us with his presence and infinite knowledge ;)
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Not sure what thread you are going to start Thrusday and why... and you mention "downgrade and return to stock" which worries me (due to the potential for bricking when downgrading the X).

As far as help, questions, lurkers coming out of the woodwork, that is why I had typed this up -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-OTA.html

(it started as a thread here when 4.4.0 came out, and was tweaked when 4.4.2 came out, it will still apply for 4.4.4).

As for TWRP, this -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/234 should still work (based on the XT1052 users who already got 4.4.4), as should SuperSU -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
[Moto X General] somerandomname1:
One thing your page doesn't cover:

If I have an unlocked bootloader, but I'm not supposed to have an unlocked bootloader (Verizon) will they possibly check for that? Could there be any risks in accepting the OTA? I unlocked via the Chinese guy a while back, but I haven't taken an OTA since doing it.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
No downgrade discussion, nobody should talk about it, it's not possible........ Return to stock before upgrading.

I posted something in the other thread about downgrading
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Unlocked boot loader = unlocked boot loader. It doesn't matter where you got the code, moto or the Chinese web site, or the Chinese middle man.

So any mention of unlocked bootloader on that page, like #9, applies either way.

There is no risk to take the upgrade if you are unlocked. But you still have to deal with the conditions of needing stock recovery, etc.

The ota doesn't check for locked vs unlocked boot loader.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
You don't need stock recovery to flash the update. I flashed the 4.4.2 update on my XT1060 just fine from CWM. You do need to know WTF you're doing though. Having stock everything is the best route, but it isn't required.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Being 100% stock is not needed. I've said being as close to stock as possible is best. But all it takes is one file the update looks for being wrong for the OTA to fail.

I haven't used CWM on my X. So are you saying it can install the OTA update "as downloaded" or after editing the OTA.zip?

Past OTA's didn't flash via TWRP. If TWRP was installed and the phone rebooted to install the OTA, the phone would boot loop (same as when someone had rooted with RockMyMoto and tweaks were done to allow booting to write not protected when selecting recovery). And since most instructions for rooting with an unlocked bootloader have you install TWRP, I don't know how many are actually using CWM instead of TWRP.

I have to look more closely at the updater script and manifest checks in the FR 4.4.4 update that was posted, but it does include a new recovery, so chances are good this updater will look for stock recovery. I honestly don't know what the updater will do if it tries to flash stock recovery over CWM.

Of course, if you have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and know what you are doing, you could copy the OTA.ZIP over to the PC, unzip it, edit the updater to remove the checks, re-zip it and copy it back to your phone to install. But I think flashing stock recovery is a little easier.
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:

[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Especially you with unlocked bootloaders. :) But the locked bootloader crowd, too. Just as long as they remember root is history with this update.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
For advanced users, I would say that's OK.. Many know you don't have to be returned to full stock.. The problem is, some users just aren't advanced enough and they'll end up bricking or not being able to take the update because they have modified the system partition in some way. I can tell you the first thing I did once my bl was unlocked.. Removed the cloudprint so I could upgrade it because it wouldn't upgrade. I've since tried many times to get the Google dialer to no avail and, have run xposed.

As long as TWRP is available and, unless there is something horribly wrong with this update, I'll probably be taking it after a full FXZ to return to stock.

I feel that it would be a waste of at least an hour if I tried to upgrade with this amount of alterations.. Never know what else has been changed, why waste that time.. RSD Lite is a program that is extremely easy to use and should be in every Moto owner's toolbox.
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Now we're talking. And you should all try my RSD Flasher sometime, too. Although it may not always be strictly necessary depending on how Moto is feeling when they create the FXZ. The 2013 Droid 4.4.4 update, as an example, did not include the erase userdata line. My RSD Flasher makes it safe to flash regardless of whether they include that or not as it has FULL, KEEP DATA, and UNIVERSAL options for flashing FXZ's.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
A URL might be handy when it comes to writing the first post in the discussion thread for this update.

[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Well, unless you're in the soak test you won't see the update until they start pushing it out OTA. As far as I understand, currently, the soak test has not begun. Once people in the soak test begin to get it, someone who's rooted can copy it from their /cache folder and post it for others. At that point, I'll create a new thread to help people out who want to install the new build.

I've seen some soaks appear two days after the initial email invites were sent, and I've see some soaks take a month after the invite email was sent. There is no pattern or set timetable.

Its possible they thought the soak was ready, sent the invites, found something they wanted to double check or change, and delayed pushing the soak a little longer.

Yea, I just hope they get it to my X in the same time frame. sigh. They should. It's all the same build...the 2013 Droids, all variants of the X....all using the same base code. The 2013 Droids even use the same FXZ with a different XML file for crying out loud which means they're all signed with the same signing keys. The unified architecture they created has definitely helped remove development time for these builds. I'm loving it.
