[X 2014 Android Development] evilinheaven:
Just to share something strange that happened to me today:

Yesterday, after the above mentioned root, i uninstalled some bloatware that come with my phone, such as BrApps, Google +, Hangouts, print services and others... Every thing was ok and i installed some Root app, like adBlock, titanium backup, etc...

Today when i restarted my phone for the first time since rooting and cleaning some google apps, it got all buggy, FC every app that i have, without i even opening them... Ok, i messed up my phone, i tough. Will do a restore from my TB backup... When i finally got TB open, it said to me that i didn't have a rooted device.

After a forced restart, for my surprise, everything was ok, no FC anymore. The root was still gone, but the software above that i removed were all back. Google +, hangouts, everything. I didn't lost any of my data or other installed programs... It was like it got unrooted and healed itself.

Well, i rooted it again, everything went ok, TB, Ad Block all working again... Will not remove the google services again, but found that very strange and fell like sharing here!

My phone have the ability to unroot itself in self defense!!!

Can someone please help me with XT1095 PLEASE!! thanks..
[X 2014 Android Development] distortedloop:
You shouldn't have to flash a stock image to lock the bootloader. Boot into Fastboot mode, then from your computer send the "fastboot oem lock" command and it should relock the bootloader. I don't think that will hide that you've previously unlocked it from Motorola if that's what you're trying to do.

Security?

Unless there's another working exploit to get access to your phone with a locked bootloader, a locked bootloader keeps people from flashing a new recovery or other things to steal your data off the phone. That's why the official unlock method wipes all data...to protect you from thieves.

I'm on Xt1092 unlocked bootloader. Device doesn't restart after booting the img file!? Any help?
[X 2014 Android Development] markwebb:
Really stupid question: I am selling my MOTO X and used this root method. When I do a hard reset and wipe of the device (prolly use Andro Shredder), will the device lose root but maintain the unlocked bootloader? I promised the Buyer it would be bootloader unlocked with root. Thanks!

Nevermind: I think the best and most secure way is to relock bootloader and then repeat the unlock process and sideload SuperUser.

How to install SU

I have found these instructions on a few sites, but they all gloss over the "install su" part. Do you know where I can get a bit more information on how to do that particular step?

Thanks!
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
It's automated. The device will boot, automatically install SU, then reboot.

Once it reboots, go to the Play Store and install "SuperSU" from Chainfire. At this point, run the app and let it update the binaries (use "Normal", not recovery option). Reboot the phone and you've got root.
[X 2014 Android Development] jeffy210:
Thank you! I just finished re-reading the thread and found that little nugget.

My only concern now is:

1) the time to reload my phone once it gets wiped from the unlock (busy, busy)

2) Do I actually want to install Lollipop or not. I just moved from an iphone and *do not* like how gratuitous app permissions are. I was looking at xposed + xprivacy, but it turns out xposed doesn't work on ART (only runtime available on 5.0) and the dev doesn't know if/when he'll get around to updating it. Looks like I may hold on installing Lollipop until there's a good workaround. Kind of a bummer given how quickly it'll be out for our phones.

[X 2014 Android Development] nithin1992:
Follow the guide you'll be fine. OP clearly states to use fastboot boot and not flash, as long as your not flashing it, you will have your stock recovery once the device restarts.

i made a mistake with the message app and now also hangout failed to open. i try wipe, delete cache, reinstall, other apps... always Crash when try to write a message.

i also try to Factory reset, but the program is not there... so i need the image to reinstall all.

i can try also with the api of the Messaging app... this is the last chance.

[X 2014 Android Development] Manizzle:
I'm unable to get this root method to work. My bootloader is unlocked on my Moto X Pure on Lollipop.

When I boot the img, it never reboots once booted (as some instructions say it should). It simply boots and sits there, then I'm unable to install any applications.

Here is some output from booting the image, then trying to install SuperSU via ADB:

in ~/Downloads
$ adb reboot bootloader
in ~/Downloads
$ fastboot boot pure2014sb.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.252s]

I certainly have sufficient storage as the phone is brand new. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Realized it was due to the fact that this img won't work on Lollipop. This worked for me (after a factory reset): http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/lollipop-root-achieved-t2937154

Does root work for 5.0.1?
[X 2014 Android Development] shimp208:
I would recommend checking out this thread that has a link to the Chainfire-Auto-Root's that should work for 5.0.1.
[X 2014 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
I'm looking for 5.0.1. I'm on 5.0 right now and rooted with this but not sure if I do the OTA to 5.0.1 if it will break recovery and also root. Or is there a flashable .zip file? Only downside of the Moto X is developer support when comparing to the Nexus lines
[X 2014 Android Development] shimp208:
Usually assume that OTA's will break root, what you can do is install the update then re-run CF-Auto-Root once your on 5.0.1.
[X 2014 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Maybe this week I can don't have time now just in case it doesn't work to reload it all back. If someone else tries before that'd be great and I'm assuming the OTA will also break recovery?

Update: Tried to unroot and do the update and it went into a bootloop. Really wish there was more support for this I don't want a tablet as a phone in the Nexus 6

Update 2: Restored to stock and then updated to 5.0 and not it's NOT prompting to update to 5.0.1. Ugh this thing may go back
[X 2014 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
So now it was prompting again but I hit okay and it doesn't download at all. When I go to about and system updates it says an update is already in progress.
[X 2014 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
So I read a little to find out why it said update already in progress and a few sites showed to wipe cache partition. It was showing at the top system update and 0% and if I went into system updates it would say update in process. So I went into recover and wiped the cache. So it boots back up and goes through android is upgrading and goes through 68 of 68 apps and now it's been stuck for 10 minutes saying starting apps. What is up with this phone?

EDIT: So I power it down and this time it booted up but the system update still says an update is already in progress. Ugh this phone is becoming annoying to say the least
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
Freeze the ota app.

Also, the root method won't break updates. Did you try to use this method after having lollipop installed?

Sent from my XT1093
[X 2014 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
It won't update because I have a custom recovery so it still comes up after deleting the update out of the cache asking me to download it again.
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
But I thought you returned to stock? Your best bet is to go back to 100% pure stock and take the OTAs, or manually install the latest firmware. Either way, I'm not sure this is the correct thread for your issue.
[X 2014 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
I did go back to stock but had to root to restore with titanium backup. Why wouldn't this be the correct ace I have a Moto X
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
If you go to stock, wait to setup/restore apps and go ahead take the OTAs, you can then root using a Lollipop method. Then use TiBu to restore apps. No more annoying OTA system update attempts then, well until 5.0.2 I guess. The Lollipop root method is around here somewhere. It's probably as simple as flashing TWRP and then SuperSU, but I haven't looked into it personally. This particular root method where we're posting was made before there was a custom recovery for victara.

After Lollipop + re-Root... soft-bricked my phone? (Warning to Telus users??)

> > EDIT: This has nothing to do with the Telus Lollipop update. This was entirely my fault < <

Would someone please advise me on the correct FASTBOOT command (or other procedure) for this situation here? I guess I must be soft-bricked (?) But I do have a copy of the original KitKat ROM, and ADB/Fastboot still work

Here's what happened: I got the TELUS (Canadian carrier) Lollipop OTA today for my previously rooted XT1097, and, happy to see that the bootloader remained unlocked, I tried to re-root using the same pure2014sb.img file as i used before on KitKat (and the correct FASTBOOT command). But for the first time ever on any phone, I did that without researching, because I thought I had read on this thread and elsewhere that it also worked with Lollipop.

But obviously I was wrong. The phone can be persuaded to boot up, sort of, but i get a message saying that it doesn’t know my Goggle ID so no apps will start, and that I need to fix that in my settings. I can’t find any such place in my settings (the only part of my phone I can access), but that doesn’t matter, because I can’t bring up a keyboard on screen to enter anything anyway. So right now, the phone is kind of useless.

I have no custom recovery installed (both times when I flashed the root.img file, I did it in Motorola’s “fastboot mode”, using “ADB reboot bootloader” to bring it up. I can still do that, but don’t know what to do next now.

I am guessing all i have to do is flash the KitKat ROM, but I am not familiar with flashing Motorola devices ( it's different from Samsung), and would like to avoid another dumb mistake.

My kitkat ROM is in the form of a zip file. So:

-	Can I flash it in fastboot directly from my PC? If so, what command?

-	Can I use “ADB push” to put it on my phone and then use a fastboot command to flash it? Again, if so, which command?

-	Or, do I need to install a custom recovery to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

so my question is does this still work?or is there a newer version?
[X 2014 Android Development] shimp208:
What about your phone is now not working that you have rooted it? One common mistake is flashing the rooted boot.img rather then just booting the img.

I would recommend taking a look at this thread for lollipop related rooting.
[X 2014 Android Development] elegalll:
I just did it with lollipop and now im stock in the splash... They don't warn it won't work on lollipop... what can i do?

EDIT: I just flash this method you recommended, but now is stuck on "Android is upgrading... starting apps"
[X 2014 Android Development] pseudopsyche:
The first post in that thread explicitly says NOT to flash that image, only to boot it. To fix your bootloop you need to obtain the stock boot.img and flash that.

Anyone been able to use this to root the new ota that came out this week? I booted it and everything got screwy with Google Apps disappearing, had to factory reset and start over.
[X 2014 Android Development] xkahn:
Huh. So I used this method to root my phone a long time ago.

Now the 5.1 system update fails even after telling supersu to unroot my phone. The failure message is TERRIBLE; the message says the update failed and that's all it says. So I grabbed the update zip file as it downloaded to my phone and tried to sideload it.

I get this error message trying to sideload:

Looks like this root method changes the device fingerprint to be KitKat! Now to install 5.0 stock again, I guess...
[X 2014 Android Development] Kwestion:
I'm glad I read this. Was about to try SuperSU unroot and installing the 5.1 update all in one go. Guess I'll have to wait on that for a bit...
[X 2014 Android Development] xkahn:
I got it all working. I downloaded stock 5.0 from a file called "TMO_XT1095_5.0_LXE22.46-11_cid9_CFC.xml.zip" that I can't link to here because I might be a spammer. :rolleyes:

After extracting the file, I booted into the bootloader and ran:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot reboot

When the phone came up, it was stock 5.0. Then I sideloaded the 5.1.... Mostly because figuring out all those steps was annoying, and I was impatient. I'm sure the normal update path would have worked.

Now I just need to figure out the best way to get root back. :)

Made a booboo

So I tried this procedure last night but ran into a problem.

I have a Moto X pure 2014 edition (2nd gen).

I first unlocked bootloader using Motorola website no problem.

I then also downloaded and extracted the pure2014sb file as detailed.

Then connected and booted to fast boot and issued command as instructed.

Phone then began to reboot as detailed in step 7 ( When the phone boots up, install su and quickly reboot it.)

This is where the problem is. The phone doesn't complete this step. It just loaded the stitching animation and just hangs there with the threads going around the M logo. It did not "quickly reboot" where I was able to then install SuperUser.

I read further into the thread and found this nugget of info that this procedure was not for lollipop (or later I assume). My phone came new from Moto with Lollipop and the got the OTA to Marshmallow. This I now realize is a problem with this root procedure.

So a couple of things......

1. It would probably be a good idea to edit the title of the thread or at least put this info into the beginning of the thread indicating that it should not be used for units with anything other that KitKat.

2. Any suggestions on how I might be able to recover this phone?
