May I ask what the TZ partition is used for?

tapa'd on my moto x
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Trusted Zone. On the RAZR HD and M a security bug in that partition allowed them to be bootloader unlocked. :) That hole has since been patched. Um, twice. LMAO
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
You can but the FXZ won't erase your data. It doesn't contain the erase userdata command.

[Moto X General] rebretz000:
I did it from Krypton 1.3.1 but I wiped all data and caches first. Started fresh like flashing a new ROM.
[Moto X General] ConstantHero:

[Moto X General] abuttino:
If I want to keep data (userdata AND Internal storage) but make sure to flash the recovery, what option do I use in RSD Flasher?
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Is that a trick question? :) The one that says KEEP DATA is a likely candidate, no? :D

Video converting on a pre-USB 3.0 PC? OUCH! You'll be in HEAVEN once you update to something more modern....like a processor with Intel QuikSync ;)

Anyways, great to hear it is all sorted out...
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
UHHHHHH....LMAO! :D It's probably best when flashing an expensive phone to NOT be doing other intensive things on your PC at the same time. LOL! ;) hehehe

WHOAAAAAAAAAAA I can't even IMAGINE video-editing on a SINGLE-CORE ---SeMpRoN--- WOW! My hat's off to you. FAR more patience than I, my friend ;)

Anyways, back on topic :D
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Oi....that's painful to look at. LMAO! The laptop I'm currently typing on would make you sick if you knew the specs of it. And I only do marginal video editing on it. My main HTPC....that's a beast. Running anything on your machine while flashing can lead to a very bad situation with a potential brick situation. I'd be very careful in the future..
[Moto X General] ryanzurlo88:
thank you thank you. but anyways yeah we did get off topic. flashing twrp now and rerooting. unlocked dev ed so i can get away with it. haters gonna hate

next one i'm custom building. just wait and see. hope to have you guys around long enough to share it with. email facebook twitter whatever they got when its finished
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
I've been involved in HTPC's longer than I have with Android. Let's just say the laptop I just bought this year makes most average PC's look like dos machines. LMAO. I use it for developing my Android tools on. Since I have 32 gigs of DDR3, I can keep several VM's open so I can test on Linux, Windows, etc all while developing in an 8 gig eclipse session. It's also got a nice 8 gig nVidia 8xx GPU with matching Intel Haswell based gpu. It's one HELL of a development machine and easily rocks video editing across my gigabit network. :D

Speaking of Android development, the new version of RSD Flasher is functionally complete except for one UI piece I have to code. Once that's done I'll release it later today assuming this last piece doesn't take forever to figure out. I hate UI work...it's so not my thing.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
I was thinking the same thing.. Mine is a Dell Precision i7, 8 threads, 4 cores, 16GB of RAM. Intel SSD.

I haven't done anything close enough to max it out, maybe unzipping a large file, that's about it.. I'd love to see what I could do with SVP on that.. Just never had the ambition to hook it up to my TV since I already have an HTPC that is good enough for what I view
[Moto X General] jntdroid:
After I finally got the file downloaded (thank you work wifi...) it worked perfectly. I remember for years one of the hassles with RSD was making sure it connected correctly up front, and this definitely takes some of the hassle out of that. Thanks again!
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Just released a new version of the RSD Flasher. Unless you can decipher my cryptic release notes for it, it won't matter to you at all. The new functionality is intended for advanced users only. Otherwise nothing has changed.
[Moto X General] jimmypop13:
Just wanted to give my observations. I got the update as part of the soak test but it wouldn't install bc of my modified tethering vzwentitlement apk so I used this file instead of restoring back the entitlement file and noticed I was having some force close issues, especially with gmail, and sometimes the location icon would stay on in the status bar for long periods of time. So I did a full reset and everything has been perfect ever since

[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Flashing an FXZ, which is what this thread is about, will overwrite all partitions except data. That includes system. Root never survives an FXZ.
[Moto X General] a1exus:
What about Survival mode? Still no?
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
How would that work? You are COMPLETELY OVERWRITING the system partition. It's like formatting your hard drive and installing windows clean. What survives the format?
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
Lol [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] easy. Don't need a repeat of yesterday. Haha
[Moto X General] nm3210:
Thanks for putting this out there; worked great on my unlocked Moto XT1060! The updated camera is really noticeable and the new dialer is nice. I used your older RSD Flasher (although I would normally prefer to just use instructions with RSD Lite) with the data-save option and all I had to do was reflash TWRP and reboot.

4.4.4 installation

My moto x was on 4.4.3 Tm when I first installed the Verizon 4.4.4 System and Logo only I suffered some problems same when installed without full wipe, I made a full wipe and a complete install now every thing is perfectly good.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Battery life is absolutely better than 4.4.3 and 4.4.2 but that was after a full wipe install.
[Moto X General] jshinn1:
I have a dev edition xt1053 on ATT, well an ATT mvno, but If I flash this will I not have data? Or were you only talking about the MAXX radio's? I searched the thread and this was one of the few post I saw mention the xt1053. And you are in my exact same situation so hopefully you can help thanks.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
I clarified the situation completely in this post his was responding to (in regard to the X). Yes, he is referring to the Maxx radios. Don't flash the Maxx baseband and you'll be fine. (The FXZ does NOT do that....the only way you would get on the Maxx radio is flashing it purposely.) Follow the instructions in the OP, and you'll be good-to-go...

EDIT: Why would you want to flash this to your XT1053?!?! You'll be getting your official update soon... Flash this and you'll have the VZW bloat (unwanted)...
[Moto X General] jshinn1:
I know just wanted to try out 4.4.4 and I can always root use titanium to freeze the VZW bloat right?

Thanks for the response too I guess Ill wait it out shouldnt be long.
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
Epic. Make me one with the pix below. Have the caption as "I always post before searching, and when I do, I make a new thread in every subforum. Lol wut?"
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Guess so...I just personally prefer to not flash ROMs for another carrier. If you do this, you could screw something up because you CANNOT downgrade motoboot.img OR gpt.bin. So if you try to go back to the XT1053 ROM, you will HAVE to do it manually, skipping the flashing of gpt and motoboot.

If you do this, nothing will be right until the 4.4.4 XT1053 ROM is released, since your partition and bootloader will be mismatched. Bad deal...people have bricked doing similar.

Best to just be patient instead of possibly screwing up your $300+ phone...

Nice! Very nice!

I suggest editing the sig, highlighting everything, then centering it - will probably make it look a little better. Just my opinion.

EDIT: yes, much better ;) Like the red too...draws your attention to it...
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
Done
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
It really should go without saying, but I guess not, that if I've not flashed this to my xt1053 then it's probably not the best of ideas to do so. Someone could turn this into a rom that can be flashed in twrp. That'd be ok. But flashing this natively to a non xt1060 is a good way to brick a device. Please don't.
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
So I've definitely done my research after seeing the posts in this thread about not using the search feature lol, but I'm having an issue. I'm trying to upgrade my 4.4.2 XT1060 using the RSD Lite/RSDFlasher software but my device never shows. I've looked up multiple solutions that involve installing/reinstalling/rebooting/official cable/Admin Running/USB 2.0/etc. but still it refuses to show up in RSD Lite. Oddly enough, the drivers are right because it shows Moto Single ADB Interface via Device Manager, and is listed in the Moto X Toolkit correctly under fastboot devices. Any Advice? I'm currently at my work PC which runs Windows 8.1. Thanks in advance :)
[Moto X General] rvpartsguy:
Thanks !!! worked perfectly
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
The phone must be in AP Fastboot mode. RSD Flasher isn't going to help in this situation. If RSD Lite can't see your phone, it's not going to flash. If motofastboot.exe can see your phone using the motofastboot.exe devices command, then RSD Lite is the issue. You are using 6.1.6, yes? Uninstall it and reinstall it if motofastboot can see your device in AP Fastboot mode.
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
Windows 8 may be the issue. Uninstall and reinstall drivers. Your are in the bootloader right?
[Moto X General] lippstuh:
Just wanted to follow up with the results. Yes FXZ worked and my phone is 100% working now. Thanks for the help
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
Yeah I was in fastboot mode each time. Entered manually (Vol down + Power) and used the Moto Toolkit). I also followed instructions in your droid thread about checking the "Open RSD but don't flash" option just to make sure my phone was ever being seen, but to no avail." I've also installed/reinstalled listed drivers and RSD 6.1.6 to no avail. Will check into motofastboot.exe and see if it can show me some love. Thanks! (Told you I searched around before posting haha)

I was wondering if it may have been the Windows 8 issue as well so I tried setting compatibility mode up for windows 7 but still no dice. Yeah I'm definitely in AP Fastboot (Prior experience + had to unlock BL on last Moto X) :P
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
I will say THANK YOU for using search before posting. I appreciate that more than you know. I'm curious to know if motofastboot shows your device. I develop on Windows 8.1 with UAC enabled and I've not had problems, but I do know that some people have. Let's see if we can get motofastboot to detect it. If we can, I'll write you a custom solution to flash the FXZ for you using that.
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
Haha no prob, I'm a "googler" so searching comes natural. But I downloaded and ran motofastboot.exe and it showed my device after placing it in AP fastboot mode. RSD Lite is the only thing not seeing my Moto. I appreciate it because I would love to upgrade without losing data! :)
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Use my House of Moto. It's a bit more setup (please read, read again, and read one more time before installing it to save yourself some pain points) but allows you to switch between fastboot and rsd modes for flashing. Use the keep data option on the House of Moto menu and you'll be good to go. Since your X is a snapdragon phone, please make sure to install the snapdragon support file. That will get you up and running.
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
Could not agree more.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
This thread is comedy gold! Thanks Will!
[Moto X General] a1exus:

I'm not really sure what does survive mode really does and how it works, so sorry for silly question)

after flashing, can I accept future OTA? my bootloader is also getting overwritten?

where on Motorola site I can download their fastboot?
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:

[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Right on! Glad we were able to get you through that. Of course, I just dropped House of Moto 3.0 out there but functionally it makes no difference from the perspective of what you just did. Congrats and enjoy it!
[Moto X General] bcellis:
OK, I just read through 25 pages and found someone with the same issue. So using House of Moto to flash the FXZ solved your problems?

For reference:

VZW 4.4.2 unlocked via Chinese middleman and rooted

TWRP 2.7.1.1

Xposed framework installed

RSD Lite & RSD Flasher installed on Win 8.1 machine

Device in AP Fastboot mode

Device shows up using "mfastboot devices"

RSD Flasher loads appropriate xml file and creates keepdata.xml

RSD Lite opens and closes without flashing
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Did you try the option to not flash but only open RSD? In any case, yes, the House of Moto may work if motofastboot sees your phone.
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
Sounds like my issue. For some reason RSD didn't pick up my device either but everything else did. Use House of Moto like he recommended to me and opt for the Fastboot option. As [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] stated tho that you definitely need to follow the directions in the thread and read EVERYTHING! It'll def work for you :)
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
There is no more fastboot option. ;) House of Moto 3.0 was completely rewritten from the ground up and is MUCH easier to setup and use now.
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
Oh Lol I'm just gonna presume that you have been working on it for like 6 years and just happened to finish today. Cuz I felt like Indiana Jones while jumping thru instructions to reach my reward of 4.4.4 hahaha
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Actually I rewrote the whole thing in about 3 hours. Lol
[Moto X General] nhizzat:
How can we figure out why our phones aren't being recognized by RSD Lite when both adb and fastboot do? I'm trying to update my sister's phone but RSD Lite ain't playing. I just switched her over to ART but I doubt that is causing this issue.

Edit: was in the process of getting HouseOfMoto set up when her phone started downloading the OTA. Less for me to worry about lol.
[Moto X General] Transmissiontech:
You do have your phones in usb debugging dont you and latest moto drivers installed on computer?
[Moto X General] nhizzat:
Yup. Phone is recognized by adb and fastboot. I didn't run into any issues (if you don't count what I did with RSD Flasher) with my phone using the same setup on my laptop.

Actually, I just tested RSD Lite with my phone and it's not recognizing it either...
[Moto X General] jshinn1:
Yea no your right I didnt flash was just wondering if there were any issues I see now it would be better to wait so i will thanks everybody for the advice.
[Moto X General] Transmissiontech:
Does your computer recognize your phone? and you are using the oem cable i presume
[Moto X General] bcellis:
Just to follow up on this (because I hate when you search for a solution online and the OP comes back and says, "nevermind, I figured it out."

House of Moto did the trick. Some googling led me here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-30/

I downloaded HoM and followed the instructions on the download page. There are a few extra steps along the way so if someone's trying this, be sure to read the directions thoroughly. If you try to breeze through it you'll get hung up because of the directory name (must rename FXZ directory with the prefix "FXZ_" (no quotes) and download and install the FXZ Snapdragon Support (link is ~2/3 of the way down the HoM post linked above). TL;DR: follow the directions.

After the phone was updated it rebooted. It took about 5 minutes to upgrade all the apps. Once it finished rebooting I went back into fastboot mode and re-installed TWRP.

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 AM ----------

I tried that and I tried doing everything through RSD Lite, but it was the same result. Like I said above, HoM did the trick. Thanks.
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
Don't know why rsd isn't working for some of you. I've no issues with it on my windows 8.1 machines. If motofastboot is seeing your phone it points to a problem with rsd lite, which is not something we can fix. It's not an issue with the rsd Flasher since it's creating the script correctly and simply passing it on to rsd lite. There's really nothing I can do if rsd lite doesn't see your phone. The HoM is a good alternative, though.
[Moto X General] kwyrt:
I had the same thing happen when initially tried to run on Windows 8.1. RSDLite came up and then promptly closed without doing anything. It’s been a few days but I think what resolved it was moving everything to my C: drive. I initially had everything on my desktop which is stored on my D: (secondary) drive. After that, everything worked just fine. Thanks SamuriHL for putting all this together.
[Moto X General] jamesino:
Whats the difference between this FXZ and the Verizon OTA?

I am running a non-DE VZW Moto X that is rooted and unlocked via Chinese Middleman Method.

Upgrading to 4.4.4 via FXZ seems easier than via OTA right? Are there any disadvantages associated with the FXZ that is not present on the OTA?

After upgrading with FXZ, I will lose root right? But I can just gain root again if I have the BL unlocked code?
[Moto X General] fury683:
I did not use this method and am not familiar with it, but I have a Moto Maker edition phone with a bootloader unlocked by the middleman as well.

I ran the Xposed removal zip in TWRP, then reflashed /system and /recovery with fastboot/mfastboot. I put the downloadable OTA zip (from Droid Life) on internal storage and installed it from stock recovery. I then reflashed TWRP, SuperSU, and reactivated the Xposed framework from within the Xposed app (the app itself was never removed from my phone, only the framework was disabled).

It is my understanding that this FXZ wipes/replaces everything except /data, but as I said I am not familiar with it. If this is flashable from TWRP, then you should just need to flash this, then flash the SuperSU zip and install SuperSU from Play Store to have root. Again, I am not familiar with this FXZ method as I've never used it. Just what I've seen by following this thread.

Edit: your bootloader will not relock, so you won't need the code again.
[Moto X General] SamuriHL:
The FXZ is NOT flashable with TWRP or any other custom recovery. It is flashable with RSD Lite or motofastboot. Both are flashed in AP Fastboot mode. This particular FXZ ships as a "keep data" FXZ by default, so using my tools to flash it is not strictly necessary. You will lose anything on the system partition. That means xposed and root both need to be reinstalled. (The apps for boh are installed on the data partition so the APPS remain, but, the su binary and xposed modifications to system do NOT). Regaining root on an unlocked bootloader after flashing an FXZ is a simple matter of flashing twrp with fastboot, booting into recovery, and flashing supersu zip. Then you can reapply xposed. Way easier than trying to fix everything to get the OTA to install. Just use the FXZ.
[Moto X General] tekhna:
If I want to flash the FXZ using mfastboot, what's the recommended procedure? Just want to make sure I have the flash commands straight.
