so for those of us who "bricked" our phone, what should we do now? wait for some one kind enough to upload a stock xt1095 system.img?
[X 2014 General] knitler:
No they didnt. They just unrooted and then did a sys restore, they didn't confirm anything. They also rooted not using SuperSU but another way.
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
Someone please help >_<

Tried this on the retail UK version but after sending the file through ADB Sideload, it verifies it on the device and simply aborts.

so as i was preparing to update to the ota by removing all the root apps, i noticed that supersu still asked for superuser access. i figured it out: some of the rooted apps installs scripts in folders. so i do suggest that you fastboot install graffix's rooted system.img and unroot. then try the ota. that way, there are no modifications left in /system.

that should work. i will test first. i did see couple users have success
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
To add a few things. You actually don't have to erase cache or userdata. This way you basically get everything back, including all user data. But I am still trying to figure out if there's a way to go from rooted system.img to ota.
[X 2014 General] theone_s_me:
I have an idea.... could someone who installed the ota successfully get us a full twrp backup?

i think that could work for the rest of us
[X 2014 General] JarJarWinks:
Would it also work on the XT1092?

Thanks in advance

So I am trying again, and it seems supersu removes install-recovery.sh Does this file suppose to exist in the stock system partition?

No i wont work, only XT1095

Been trying, but cant get into recovery, it just says no command when i enter it. Also tried flashing the stock recovery again but still same result. Any guidance?

phone still boots etc

When you get to the no command screen you have to hold volume up for 15 seconds and while holding the volume up button tap power...a blue menu will then pop up

To those who failed to install the OTA, what's the error message?

I have succesfully installed the OTA even though I was rooted with xposed and busybox and adaway and what not. Here's what I did:

1) uninstalled xposed framework

2) restored hosts file with adaway

3) uninstalled busybox with the busybox on rails app

4) full unroot with superSU

5) when i first flashed the OTA, the error message was "/system/bin/surfaceflinger has modified content". So I replaced the surfaceflinger file with the one from the rooted stock image posted in this forum.

That did it. God speed comrades

Mine doesn't work cause I deleted a bunch of system apps haha lol

What is the build number?
[X 2014 General] Dugan1017:
Is that what it should be?
[X 2014 General] bgmikejr:
Thanks for that :) Looks like that might be the official build as they are rolling out the official Android Lollipop to the Moto X Pure Edition and Moto G per http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/12/motorola-officially-rolls-out-the-lollipop-ota-for-the-second-gen-moto-x-pure-edition-and-moto-g-in-the-us/

That is the same as the Soak Test, so I would say Yes?

Looks like we get an even newer radio then what was in the OTA. As well as the Kernel is a few days newer

Unfortunately philips doesn't make anything anymore consumers would want....

True that.. but they atleast roll it out for all version equally.. all there's different is the radio, aint that hard to change that.

i have the 1092 too :/ ... did this difference arise in the 1st gen moto x ?
[X 2014 General] godutch:
much more carriers in europe to test than the 4-5 mayor ones in the US but the real reasons OEM's do these releases is so they can iron out bugs gradually over the different stages

I too was hoping this was going to be posted, but I was having trouble with the phone not ringing on incoming calls on the .5 and didn't want to wait much longer.

I reverted to the KK modem, applied the TWRP backups I made of my KitKat system pre-upgrade, put SuperSU back in survival mode, and am now applying the .6 to see if the issue improves.

where do I run the fastboot commands?

Do I run those when the phone is in recovery mode screen?
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I was hoping for the same but we haven't seen it posted. It'd make life SO much easier. I've been hunting for it but apparently Moto is only sending it to the original soak testers and none of them have posted it anywhere that I've found.

doesn't sound like a brick. you need to get back into recovery and clear all cache, i'm betting

what you're experiencing is called a bootloop

No, like this morning won't work for me. It won't boot into recovery or it hangs. Stock recovery works.

A previous poster said it kinda not works.
[X 2014 General] sabbotage:
Once you flash TWRP you need to boot straight into recovery afterwards. If you boot into android it will just reflash the stock recovery with a built in script. Booting straight into TWRP after flashing it will disable that script.

Do you need boot loader unlocked to revert back to 4.4.4?

Which fastboot file are u using? When I tried to use the fastboot in 4.4.4 image it didn't work? It just says fastboot though... Whereas fastboot in minimal adb is fastboot.exe.. I also tried renaming the file, but it says sth along the lines of - the file not being compatible with 64 bit windows etc.

Thanks for the help!

I had some issues with the script, but I certainly appreciate this hard work.

You also should know that you need to press the Vol+ button to get to Recovery after highlighting the field. Pressing the Power button actually just restarts the phone :)

So, if I took the first soak test OTA on Friday, I am screwed? I can't get the OTA official 5.0 (.6 version)???
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
Omg.. Please search the thread... This has been asked and answered countless times...
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
I know I know but just got home and heard the news about the official release and just did not read anything. I hate to be one of those guys Graffix but one final question...is this .5 to .6 patch thing I just read about, leaked yet?
[X 2014 General] nexus15:
Nope.

SamuriHL put together a script to keep userdata while you downgrade then you reboot into recovery (without ever touching 4.4.4 booting up) and adb sideload the .6 update. Not hard at all, but I could see it being a bit time consuming if you aren't very technical. I didn't loose a thing going from .5 to 4.4.4. to .6. You will also need the factory image, which can now be downloaded from Motorola.
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
Yeah, I just found about that couple pages back.

I will give it a shot.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
And you must be bootloader unlocked. Trying to downgrade without doing so will soft brick.
[X 2014 General] ahmad80:
First let me say thank you for all you have done here and bringing us sweet lollipop.

I flashed the soak test and earlier today I downgraded back to 4.4.4 without any issues.

I was never rooted and never bootloader unlocked and I have the T-Mobile moto X pure edition and I am back where I was before.

BUT I am yet to receive the OTA update on this moto X or the G not sure why.

Too many pages to read to try and redo this so I am just going to wait.

Thank you again.
[X 2014 General] tebower:
Funny... I downgraded yesterday night without unlocking my bootloader. Didn't experience any problems.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Hmm, well, that's rather unusual but as long as it worked.
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
I assume the script is for Windows only, not for Mac?
[X 2014 General] ahmad80:
I followed what moto sent me to downgrade
[X 2014 General] sxp123731:
How you did the downgrade? I don't want to unlock my boot loader too

I didn't make a mac version but if you know batch files and have adb installed on your mac you can create an SH script easy enough.

Considering the last step of their instructions is this:

I'm guessing you missed a step. :) I'm glad it worked, but, it seems they recommend you be unlocked to flash the FXZ which is probably why they only release them for unlocked phones.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Apparently run my script without unlocking and it'll work. At least according to a few people so far.
[X 2014 General] ahmad80:
I did this with the tgz file they sent me:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

Note: If no userdata.img file is present in your download, please issue the command: fastboot erase userdata
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
As I said, they assume you're unlocked when you run it. See the command I bolded.
[X 2014 General] ahmad80:
I know the funny thing is I saw my status as locked in bootloader
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
Ahmad, can you share this tgz file by any chance sir with the instructions?
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
It's great that it works, but, it can never be assumed that it will. When it fails it soft bricks until you are able to flash something successfully. For example, even unlocked you can't flash the bootloader, partition table, or tz security partitions if you're downgrading. If they had added security to the system and boot partitions you'd have gotten a downgrade error message and you'd be left in AP Fastboot mode until it's fixed. I tend to be overly cautious when I create my tools. Nonetheless, I'm glad it worked for locked users.
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
I do have adb installed but do not know anything about batch files, I will just run the script at work tomorrow. Speaking of that, I assume I have to have the whole sdk thing on my PC from developer.android.com, right?
[X 2014 General] ahmad80:
I dont know if I can they said this file was confidential but if I can I will.

Thanks I am glad it worked for me I cant wait for the OTA
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
If you're using my script you don't need anything else. It includes everything for windows. It includes fastboot for windows, mac, and linux, as well, but I didn't script it for mac or linux. The process is fairly simple though...you flash boot system recovery and the modems, erase the cache....boot directly into recovery, sideload the update using adb...boot twrp (do not flash) and then wipe dalvik cache. Done.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

It's the same file that's posted on the Moto site. I included boot system recovery and modems in my script to make it easier.

That stuff with Android ALWAYS happens when I either have an exam, am studying for an exam or have a big project do. . it never fails, usually if there is a new Android version that drops, and OTA for a device I do work on or a new device release it's almost ALWAYS when I have something big with school going on.

I'm not sure if it's a glitch, but I noticed that the version of Lollipop I ended up with does NOT have exchange support for Gmail included.

So you can use Gmail as it stands for IMAP and POP3, but not Corporate mail.

You will need to install exchange support for Gmail to remedy this.

[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I've seen a bunch of people having issues with the motofastboot that's shipped with the 4.4.4 FXZ not finding their device when the platform tools fastboot can. Obviously you can't flash with platform tools fastboot. I have no idea what's causing this problem nor do I know a fix for it. I can almost guarantee reinstalling the driver will have no impact at all, but, it's worth trying. Are people with that problem connecting to a USB 2 port (NOT USB 3) and using the OEM USB cable that came with the phone?
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
Stupid question but how do I know the USB 2 vs USB 3? And yes I am using the OEM Cable. The Moto Device Management thingie did not help.
[X 2014 General] phonepersonality:
!

With all due respect, if you're unable to discern what version of USB you're using, you might need to do a LOT more consideration and STUDY about this whole phone flashing process.

Things can go wrong very quickly...even in the best of circumstances. Bricking your phone is ALWAYS a possibility...even amongst the most technically astute of us.

I've bricked quite a few over the years, trust me. Learned a lot. Wailed and cursed a lot more :)

I'm not trying to police you...just a friendly warning...please don't take chances if you're not prepared to face the consequences.

And you seem to be lacking in the preparation area.

So fair warning.

I actually tried to use the script myself yesterday and wound up having to do a lot of things manually due to driver issues on a Windows 8 machine.

The reason your computer is 'waiting for device' is most likely because...although the motorola software allows your computer to see the phone as a 'USB Victara' device, it actually needs to be recognized as an Android Debug Bridge (ADB) device when you're in the bootloader.

You'll need to go into your device manager and change the device type. The drivers are already installed on your PC, you just need the computer to use the proper drivers in order to 'see' your phone.

You may get some weird warnings from Windows about incompatible drivers types and blah blah...but just select the Android Device > ADB (I forget the order in which they appear) and you should be golden.

You can always test to make sure you're properly connected by typing 'fastboot devices' in a command window.

If it says 'fastboot' and gives you a serial number, then bangarang!
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
Thanks- I will give it a shot. I am not new to the whole flashing scene but haven't done it in a while. Yeah I got the Win 8 machine as well.

Also, how do I change the device type?

[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Enable USB debugging on your phone if you haven't yet. Go to the home screen. Now, plug in the USB cable into your computer, and then into your phone. (into a USB 2.0 port. Not 3.0. 3.0 ports are blue inside).

It should prompt you for RSA authorization. Check always allow and then yes.

Now try rebooting to fastboot and giving it a shot ;)
[X 2014 General] tebower:
The suggestion I received was to copy the fastboot version from the factory image zip and REPLACE the original fastboot in my platform tools folder. I then copied all of the relevant files from the image zip into my platform tools folder, and then ran the fastboot and flashed the images. Everything worked perfectly. It had nothing to do with USB etc.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Did you just copy the fastboot executable or the dll as well? Cause doing what you're suggesting should make zero difference unless platform tools was in the path and the dll from the platform tools version of fastboot was being used with the fastboot found in the factory image. This could absolutely explain a lot if that were happening. sigh.
