No, I haven't had any problems. I've heard of some people saying that you don't have to flash motoboot (it's the boot loader) to successfully downgrade.

Have you tried flashing everything else from this firmware?
[X 2014 General] matt99017d:
I've tried to flash the system, but it tells me something about needing to use a new fastboot. Multi....+++++? Not used anymore.

I've tried to flash the gpt but it won't work either. I've done boot, fsg, modem, that is it.

System, gpt, motoboot are all a no go.

Kinda lost.

I'm at work now, so I can't do much for about 7 more hours.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Thanks for this - so this is the official 5.0 OTA? Not the Soak test?
[X 2014 General] Al936:
There are no folders in the archive with stock 4.4.4 firmware and there is no fastboot.exe for Windows inside. Where I can get fasboot for Windows to flash so big system.img ?
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
It's in the os folders - that fastboot did not work for me however. I just used sdk fastboot.
[X 2014 General] paul_jones:
Quick question

Sorry for a noob question, but am I correct in assuming this will function fine on a Mac using the Linux fastboot? And does it need to be placed in the same directory as the files associated with the Android SDK? Or can it be in its own folder?

Thanks for any help!
[X 2014 General] Al936:
I have downloaded both archives (1st link in OP, 2nd in another tread) and both do not have any folders inside. There is "fastboot" file in the archives and looks like it is for Mac and not for Windows.

So does it means that sdk fastboot flashed sustem.img successfully ?

Thanks to [MENTION=5713057]SolarTrans[/MENTION] and everyone else, both here and on MFN, I was able to reflash back to 4.4.4, update OTA to the Lollipop soak test, and restore the logo file to get rid of the ugly bootloader unlocked warning screen :)

This has been a great resource, and first time doing all of this. Definitely a little confusing at first, but I figured it out. Thanks everyone.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
That's because you need the motorola fastboot file in the 4.4.4 zip
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
It's the 2nd soak test, which some believe is the final OTA.

If it isn't, however, I'm registered as part of that soak test so I'll be able to post the update ;)
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
How did you restore the logo? Just fastboot flash the logo.bin from the factory image?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
As I said in the guide, it needs to replace your current fastboot file in your Android SDK (it works for other manufacturers too, it just has some added functionality for Motorola so it's safe to do this).

But yeah you should be fine with the Linux one, although I don't have a Mac so I can't test it :P
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Moto Fastboot files are back up guys! They're in my OneDrive, just follow the folders from either link up there ;)
[X 2014 General] greggov:
I actually googled around trying to replace it, and it linked me back to a thread here. Downloaded the logo.bin file and flashed it. It's the stock M logo with "powered by Android" or whatever that says

Random question: I followed all the steps and successfully have Lollipop on my Pure Edition Moto X. Now, for the life of me, no matter how many different ways I've tried I can't get the menu options to appear in the stock recovery so that I can clear my cache.

I tried holding PWR and VOL UP for 2-3 sec. I tried holding VOL UP for 10-15 sec and then tap PWR as recommended on Moto's site. I tried VOL UP/DWN for 5 sec and then tapping PWR. I just can't seem to get the options. Can anyone help me, what exactly am I doing wrong? I could do it just fine before the Lollipop update, but I can't anymore.
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
Hold the Power and Vol up button at the same time for about a second or two . Let go and try again till you get it. It is a bit annoying but it'll appear eventually

Yes, the conversion demands to unlock the bootloader, and consequently, avoiding the warranty at our country.

To flash modem and fsg the commands are:

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
[X 2014 General] vctrmp:
Would you happen to have "fsg.mbn" file from XT1097?

I have already downloaded "NON-HLOS.bin" from one of your past posts here...

I had the damndest time with that too. The second factory reset I did was done through fastboot commands because I couldn't get the recovery menu to pop up either.

Eventually, on a whim, I used the technique from the Nexus 7. Hold power button first, then tap volume, and it popped right up. Just don't hold the power button down for too long or it reboots, obviously.

I recently followed these steps on a non rooted pure edition Motox in the US. if and when they push another ota out, will I get the update ota? Or will I have to flash going fwd?

Everything has been working fine for the most part. I have gotten a few Google search crashes. And some lag returning to the home screen here and there. Not sure if normal bugs or if something with the process..

Thanks guys..

Cellular Network State Disconnected

EDIT EDIT:

So, I have Lollipop .6 on it now, upgrading from the .5.

BUT, I have an issue that I also had on the .5 update which I had just assumed would go away with an update to .6.

I have cellular service... BUT, when I turn on my WiFi, my cellular network state becomes 'disconnected'. This means that I can't receive calls and they just go straight to voice mail while connected to WiFi. No idea what's up with this or why it's happened. Like I said, I had the same issue on .5.

Again... thoughts?

EDIT:

Got it to work, found the correct fastboot.

_________________________________

So, I have the Pure Edition that I've unlocked the bootloader on. I'm using a Mac. I've downloaded the 4.4.4 Firmware, I've deleted the fastboot in those set of files. I'm using the fastboot on the OneDrive for Mac and replaced the fastboot that came with the SDK with that. If I use the fastboot on OneDrive, it says it cannot execute the binary file.

So, I replaced it with a motofastboot from somewhere else and renamed it fastboot so it'd run. Now, this fastboot works, but I'm running into an issue when I try to flash the system.img. This is what happens:

fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (262144 KB)... OKAY [ 8.253s]

writing 'system'... INFOMulti-Flash is not supported anymore!

INFOPlease download latest fastboot from: wontletmepostURLbutthisisaURL

FAILED (remote failure)

I go to that link, but it doesn't work. Apparently I have the wrong version of fastboot and the one in OneDrive isn't working for me. I haven't been able to find anyone else having this problem because I'm definitely using the right flashboot, or so I thought I was.

Thoughts?
[X 2014 General] Cabeção-Flu:
I tested again Bluetooth with JBL Speaker...

[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
So the one from OneDrive provides the same issue as the other ones you've tried?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
The problem only happens with the screen off right?
[X 2014 General] Cabeção-Flu:
No, with screen on too.

But i cleared Bluetooth share data and cache in Settings > apps and seems its Ok now.
[X 2014 General] uriah.sayres:
Correct - it says that it can't run the binary code. The one that worked was posted in this thread at some point, though. Although not by you. I could try and find the one that worked, if you'd like me to, or you can scan the thread - it's just a link to a dropbox file (not even a .zip folder).

Although like I said, my biggest problem at this point is that I don't have cellular service when I have my WiFi turned on.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Cool! Glad you got it fixed :D
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:

[X 2014 General] uriah.sayres:
Correct Fastboot

The first post is the one with the working fastboot. The one you quoted was one of the ones that didn't work for me. This second one they posted is the one that actually ended up working for me.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Huh. Did you get it all sorted out then?
[X 2014 General] uriah.sayres:
Eh... I mean, Lollipop .6 is up and running on my phone no problem, but when I have the WiFi on, my cellular network state becomes disconnected. When I switch WiFi off, I have service no problem. It's just kinda irritating 'cause calls just go straight to voicemail if I have WiFi on so I need to figure out a way to fix it.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
I've heard of an app that does that. Strange

Did you wipe user data and cache when you updated?
[X 2014 General] uriah.sayres:
Yeah, I did. Followed the guide exactly. Went over it several times. =\ Haven't been able to figure out what it is yet.

I posted on another forum and got this response:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/ge...llipop-5-0-t2932625/post56652943#post56652943

Tried doing that, but I wasn't able to get on the forum to download those files, and as far as I can tell, they're files I already have.

And then I tried running the commands with the files I already have and I got this error:

"fastboot flash system modem NON-HLOS.bin

error: cannot open 'modem'"
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
You need to run "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" for the modem or "fastboot flash system system.img" for the system
[X 2014 General] uriah.sayres:
Yup. I did both of those commands with no error.

I tried that other command after someone said it might fix the fact that I don't have cellular service when I'm on WiFi.

I tried the other command, and got an error, so it didn't do anything for me. The commands you just posted are the ones I used first that worked without issue.
[X 2014 General] azsnowboarder:
This^ Worked for me too, now no issues with lollipop for me! [emoji2]
[X 2014 General] v3thabest:
From my experience (also coming from a Mac) the motofastboot doesn't work with Mac computers. I actually have windows installed on my Mac just for things of this nature. I would recommend getting a virtual player or grabbing someone elses PC to flash these. At least until a working motofastboot becomes available for Mac.

It also may just be me but the above also happens to me however very rarely on the call side, more so on the messaging side (occasionally on SMS but 80% of the time on MMS) they WILL NOT go through or come through. I even changed the APN setting just to try something different. Still seems to happen though. Anyone else have these problems or found a solution?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
I've heard of people on OSX having success with the Mac moto fastboot I posted, so I'm not sure.

About the messaging issue though, I have no idea. I do know that the default Android Messaging app has to be installed to get messages on any other clients though.

Doubt this would have anything to do, but I don't know.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
That isn't a command... Well it is, but when you phrase it like that fastboot is looking for a system file named "modem" and that doesn't exist. It's a totally invalid command and someone didn't know what they were doing.

Flash system system.IMG, and flash modem non-hlos.bin are both fine, but not that other one. That won't do anything, and it shouldn't.

Did anyone figure out how to fix this. I have a pure moto X 2014, after doing this OTA update and following the steps my apps don't show up on play store and don't restore. I even tried doing a factory reset and nada... any thoughts.... pretty annoying. thanks
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:

2FA issues

Thanks for this guide. I am using a Moto X 2014 pure edition with unlocked bootloader and did not have any trouble flashing this (from step 4)

The only hitch was when signing onto google accounts. I have 2FA enabled, and have a set of back-up codes (which have worked in the past with 4.4.4), but lollipop somehow seems to be expecting a 6 digit code instead of the 8 digit ones that I had. So i had to opt for automatically verify. Just thought will put it out there.

Great job, and many thanks!

Switch back to tmobile modem from AT&T?

Fastboot Permission Denied

Thanks for posting. Because I was in Scenario C, I never had to fastboot anything. So going back to the OP for the OneDrive folders, I've now downloaded the Mac fastboot, and placed it in the same folder as fsg.mbn and modem.bin

*If you have an alternate modem, you'll be ineligible for this .6-.11 OTA. It's likely that you'll have to wipe, flash 4.4.4, and redo the steps it took to get you to -6 but with the -11 OTA file.*

All you need to do is flash the Lolipop modem you have on your Onedrive (edit: No longer there) , Flash the -11 OTA file, Then Flash back whatever modem you need to get a signal. Worked for me.
[X 2014 General] d u o XIV:
Silly question time!

I followed this guide to get to 22.21.6 when it came out. When the -11 update dropped, I just downloaded the OTA file and flashed it; no wiping, no nothing. Everything is fine and there are no problems (so far), BUT is it generally recommended that I wipe/factory reset when I update?

Even crazier question: should I downgrade all the way back to 4.4.4 then follow this guide again to get back to 22.21.11?

Constantly wiping is tedious, but I want to make sure my phone will run as smooth as possible.

Most people can't downgrade the bootloader (one time it didn't work for me either), but that doesn't matter.

I was on the -6 OTA, then I downgraded and took the -11 OTA from KK. Don't know why you're having a problem.

Did you wipe user data and cache? Not clearing user data caused me bootloops when I downgraded, but wiping it fixed everything.

I believe the combo is press and hold up volume for 3 seconds, then quickly press power and release both at the same time.

encryption

So I went back to 4.4.4 and installed the update to .11. I then did a factory reset thinking that would give me the 256bit encryption that you mention. However, under settings/security/encryption it still gives me the option to encrypt the device as if It wasn't encrypted to begin with. If I click on that I get the green android and then a black screen like the phone turned off or it failed. Do other people with an encrypted device have this option to "re"encrypt or does the android menu advice you that you're already encrypted? And is there any way to verify that your device is indeed encrypted? Thanks.
