Updated L

Hey dude,

Both are links has same file. As mentioned in previous comment, they are saying its working fine for them.
[X 2014 General] nandroidz:
The screen is still HD.

Motorola just balanced out the contrast of the device with update.

So that it feels more close to actual color reproduction.

Since AMOLED screen's are known for their popping contrast.

Motorola must have decided to smooth it out.

And the phone is not slow, you might be feeling it because of all the animations :)

If the lag still persists and factory reset might help :)

I'm having some difficulty with finding these files, in the update. I have unzipped the update, and I'm trying to look for them, but to no avail.
[X 2014 General] mcnovy:
So.. finally did the jump, and I am running the EU ALL instead of the German edition..

I did it as many have written with the mfastboot ...

My bootloader is still locked, and I am not root.

I am updating to the OTA file for the EU as of now.. (Actually it's done, and it worked fine)

now, I have one question I have yet to find an answer for..

Will future OTA arrive automatically, or will I need to do it manually from now on..?

Thanks.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
This is a Motorolla official file. You will get OTA just as you normally would. Hope this helps.
[X 2014 General] mcnovy:
Well.. yes and no..

It was not only the OTA file I updated the phone with,

I changed my phone from one build to another

KXE21.187-45 before and now KXE21.187-42
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
It's still an official Motorola build so you will still get official Motorola updates. It's not a custom ROM. Motorola are going to push updates to the KXE21.187-42 It's still official. And you're not using a custom recovery so you will get future OTA's. If you're worried just wait until the build of Lollipop is released for your device and re-flash back to your original 4.4.4, then to the new build of Lollipop. You're safe either way. You're OTA's are still going to come though I wouldn't worry.
[X 2014 General] Sachdevadiv:
Warranty concern

Hi

Will this flash on indian moto xt1092 void the warranty. I am new to all this. Will it be hassle free future experience or should I wait for official otA. And is there any chances of bricking?
[X 2014 General] nandroidz:
It won't void your warranty

and chances of bricking your device is pretty slim. :)
[X 2014 General] godutch:
yes, no, no

it would be exactly the same as receiving the ota
[X 2014 General] lksr:
im sure this is a silly question but..... do i have to back up all my apps and data? and factory reset the phone and then flash the update? coz...i really dont want to go through all that! my phones not rooted! stock recovery and havent made any changes
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
Nope, nothing. Just flash the update, all the apps and data would remain as they are
[X 2014 General] lksr:
thanx......:) it worked perfectly for me!!
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
Have you found the files? I've started doing it and can't find the same files as you...
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Nope, haven't found them in the update folder.

I see people commenting, that they have converted their DE/GB model to the EU model, but no is writing how you do it.

A short guide would be nice.
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
Yes, it would be nice.

I've been stupid and did the first line only before noticing that there were several files missing:

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

Anyone know how to fix that?

Whatever I try to do it boots on Fastboot with the message:

version downgraded for boot

failed to validate boot image

Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
A quick search of the Moto X 2014 forum and..... here's the guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57467298&postcount=269
[X 2014 General] godutch:
I wouldn' t use that guide because it not only performs a factory reset but also you loose the motomaker customizations, the following is enough

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot reboot
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
They seem to need the whole guide though i.e where to download the 4.4.4 EU Files and the EU. 50 OTA. That's why I linked to the other guide. Would you e able to tell them what commands to miss out so they keep their Moto customizations?
[X 2014 General] godutch:
mfastboot erase customize

mfastboot erase clogo

maybe this one too:

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

this factory resets

mfastboot erase userdata
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
Yes, in the guide I followed there was no mention of the 4.4.4 EU files, so I flashed the 5.0 gpt.bin and noticed that I was missing a lot of files, now I'm stuck with a 5.0 gpt.bin and everything else 4.4.4, and I can't downgrade to the 4.4.4 gpt.bin. So my phone is a nice $400 brick for now.

So you are right, for the non initiated having the whole guide is very helpful.
[X 2014 General] godutch:
try to flash the rest of the 4.4.4 reteu image and then continue applying the ota
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Okay, got it now. I'll try and make a brief bulletproof guide, on how to convert your phone to EUALL, and install the latest OTA.

1. Download RETEUALL_XT1092_4.4.4_KXE21.187-42_cid7_CFC from this link, and the latest OTA from this link

2. Unpack the first image, and follow these instructions:

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot reboot

You should now have converted your phone to EUALL, and be ready to go with the OTA.

3. Copy the OTA to your phone.

4. Write adb reboot recovery. Your phone will now enter the stock recovery, and you will see an android, with a red exclamation mark. Hold down Power Up for 10 seconds, and press the Power button. You should now see the menu, for the stock recovery.

5. Choose "Update from SD Card", and find the OTA and apply it. You phone should now process the OTA, and install it.

6. After it's finished, reboot the system, and you will see the "Android is upgrading" dialogue. This is completely normal, and you haven't lost anything.

7. Voila. You should now have Android 5.0 on your Moto X.

Credit to the posters of the 4.4.4 image, and the latest OTA.

I did this in OSX, so I was using Terminal and fastboot + adb.

Hit me up if you think something is missing, or if you think something's wrong.

Thanks!
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

This part blocks me:

target max-sparse-size: 256MB

sending 'system' (261019 KB)...

OKAY [ 8.329s]

writing 'system'...

(bootloader) Invalid signed image

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

I guess this is because I have the gpt.bin of 5.0 and am trying to flash the image of 4.4.4, isn't it?
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Can anyone try to pull the boot.img from their system? I need the boot.img from the 5.0 update on the XT1092.

For some stupid reason, I though that I could use jcase's root again, but I found out that It's only compatible with 4.4.4. And since we don't have an image of 5.0, I don't have a spare 5.0 kernel.

I would really appreciate someone posting their kernel, so I can boot my Moto X up again.

Thanks!

EDIT: There's a short guide here, on how to do it.
[X 2014 General] godutch:
No you have the incorrect version of motofastboot. I forgot where i found the correct one though.
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
If you come across the right one I'd really appreciate if you posted a link, as I have no idea what else to do now. Thanks
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
I can do you a twrp backup of my boot from Lollipop if you want ?
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
That'll work, thanks!
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Here you go ! Just extract it and put everything you need to flash in the same folder
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
This still gives me the same error message.

To summarize my situation, this is what I have flashed so far, coming from a 4.4.4 en.gb:

5.0 EUALL

gpt.bin

4.4.4 EUALL

motoboot.img

boot.img

recovery.img

NON-HLOS.bin

modemst1

modemst2

fsg fsg.mbn

Couldn't flash:

system.img_sparsechunk.0

system.img_sparsechunk.1

system.img_sparsechunk.2

system.img_sparsechunk.3

system.img_sparsechunk.4

At this point I'm waiting for the 5.0 OTA en.gb to flash everything over what I've already.
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Here you go !
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
I don't understand, you were coming from 4.4.4 en.GB ? And you wanted to flash 4.4.4 EUALL image to take the OTA ?
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
Yes, but the first tutorial I followed didn't mention first flashing the 4.4.4 EUALL so the idiot that I am flashed the 5.0 gpt.bin before noticing that something was wrong.
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
But how did you flash the OTA zip if you have a RETGB Moto X ? The OTA zip is only for the RETEU...

And quick question ? Is your bootloader unlocked ? Because your error "(bootloader) Invalid signed image" seems to be related to a lock bootloader...
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Everything except what's in italics has been flashed with these commands, and the gpt.bin from the 5.0.

I followed this small turorial at first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57474101#post57474101

Basically, I applied these steps to the 5.0 OTA instead of the 4.4.4 EUALL. This not godutch's fault by the way, I was just tired of waiting and thought that nothing could really go wrong, and I was wrong on many levels.
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
But where did you get the gpt from 5.0 (as there is no factory image of 5.0) ? From the OTA zip ?

As I asked on my previous post, your bootloader is unlocked right ?

Edit : I misread what you said, you extracted the OTA.zip and flashed things via fastboot ? If you did that it's a chance your device still boots up because it should be bricked...
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
Yes, from the OTA zip.

Sorry I didn't see your edit, my bootloader is still locked, unlocking would let me flash the system.img chunks?
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Yeah it should because your error seems to be realted to an unlock bootloader. But it will wipe your data.

And DO NOT FLASH motoboot and gpt

Flash only these from the 4.4.4 RETEUALL

I'm going to unlock the bootloader now then, I was hoping not to wipe my data but I guess I don't have much choice.

As I said before, I've already flashed the gpt from 5.0 and motoboot from 4.4.4 EUALL, is that going to be a problem?

I prefer to be sure before it's too late now...
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
No, shouldn't be a problem. And you can't downgrade the gpt now that you have the one from 5.0
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
I'm not having any luck with the boot, unfortunately.

To backtrack, I tried to re-flash the 4.4.4 image, because the phone wouldn't boot. However, I only made it to gpt and motoboot, since the phone said there was a mismatch.

I re-flashed the 5.0 gpt, but I don't have a 5.0 motoboot. Don't know if it's motoboot that's the problem here.

The phone boots up to the start animation, and then it just goes black.

I managed to pull the userdata with TWRP, but i'm still wondering what seems to be the problem.

The bootloader is unlocked.

Is it possible to re-flash the 4.4.4 image, or will I just have to wait until the 5.0 image comes out?

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

You can install TWRP after you have unlocked the phone, and pull your data out, so it's not lost.
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Data will be wiped when you unlocked the bootloader so it's not possible to backup them with TWRP
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Oh yeah, I forgot about that:(
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
You might have a problem with your system, I'll pull you a TWRP backup of sytem+boot 5.0 so you can try it when I get home
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Thanks Ben, I really appreciate your help.
[X 2014 General] Kourkis:
Merci beaucoup Ben, I really mean it, everything seems to be working now.
[X 2014 General] AK47ita:
could I flash the 4.4.4 EU on my German xt1092 (DE) in this way without loosing user data???

If I can, when the flash is complete I will flash the OTA.zip EU, is it correct??
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Yeah, if you do these commands in this order, it will convert your XT1092 (DE) into a XT1092 (EU) and you'll be able to flash the OTA zip via your recovery.

No it won't wipe your data, the command that wipes your data is :

fastboot erase userdata

So don't do it if you don't want to wipe your data
[X 2014 General] AK47ita:
can I follow, in general, this tutorial?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS0eVAfpBIo

definely I will NOT type the commands:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

Am I right???
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Yeah but with the XT1092 image (not the one from the video) that I posted a few posts backs;

However, I would not flash the partition and bootloader so pass these steps
[X 2014 General] CoolRaoul:
I read in a FAQ of another XDA forum thread (in an other Motorola section but not for the same device) that flashing an system image was possible with a locked bootloader, providing it is an valid officially signed image.

This is not exact?
[X 2014 General] AK47ita:
Sure!Thanks
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Yeah flashing a Motorola official signed image is possible without an unlocked bootloader but in this factory image, the system.img is chunked into 4 or 5 parts (don't remember) and these parts are not signed by Motorola...

Other .img like the boot, recovery etc... can be flashed with a locked bootloader
[X 2014 General] CoolRaoul:
Thanks a lot, that's *much* clearer now

Any chance to fetch a complete "reteu" ROM with a non chunked system.img?
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
Haven't find one yet and Motorola hasn't posted anything for our model, only for the US model
[X 2014 General] benfiller:

edit:back home
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Well, at least I get to the watery Moto logo, but then it just boots down.

Strange.

Might be because of motoboot. Should I try and flash motoboot from the US 5.0 version?

And thanks for the upload!
[X 2014 General] godutch:
Don't turn your system into a frankensystem to try and get if working. Flash the 444 reteu factory image and then apply the ota. That way you know you have a clean system and won't run into problems later.
[X 2014 General] Lafenear:
Hehe, I'm only troubleshooting ;)

Is it possible to downgrade the system, and should I use these commands?

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, the phone is up and running again.

I used the commands mentioned above, then got into recovery, and sideloaded the OTA.

Was surprisingly easy actually.

[X 2014 General] rickbosch:
No it doesn't. Clear you recent apps and hit the "recents" button again. It'll display a random app instead of "no recent apps". The Bluetooth stuttering is also there, as well as the redraw party that happens all the time. Hopefully a fix will roll out soon.
[X 2014 General] tifosi256:
And still no 5.0 or 5.01 for the UK :crying:

Installed this today and working fine. The instructions to the recovery part are pretty wild mess in this thread

http://johnalvarez.net/?p=2439 is a blog post that gives the right and easy steps how to get to the recovery

And now, is there a working TWRP or root for Lollipop?
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
I'm not having any of those issues and I've been running this build since last weekend.
[X 2014 General] rickbosch:
so when you swipe away all of your recents it doesn't display a random app? I had it on my Nexus 4 and 7 (2013) on 5.0 and now on the Moto X too, so you're lucky.

redraws also happen really often and bluetooth audio is awful on 5.0 as well, was on my nexus devices too, until 5.0.1, that is.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
I haven't had it at all. It's the first time I've seen it mentioned as regards the EU update so I'm not sure if, or how many people are getting this issue. That would piss me right off though if I did have it.
[X 2014 General] rickbosch:
It seems you are right, I just needed to swipe away all the randoms that kept spawning and now it seems fine. But the other bugs are very much present. Which does suck, especially stuttering BT audio and my looming summer holidays!

Ask him?

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], is your root image compatible with the XT1092?
[X 2014 General] benfiller:
The easiest way to root your device is always doing a :

Download SuperSU zip from here and put it on your phone's storage

Download twrp recovery

Then : fastboot boot twrp.img

And then flash SuperSU zip

Works with lollipop and XT1092 without problems

[X 2014 General] AppleBred:
I can confirm that chainfire autoroot for xt1095 worked also on xt1092 Lillipop !!
[X 2014 General] tifosi256:
The bottom IR sensors have not been working in KitKat either - once you've accepted the Moto Update to the Sensor Suite which broken them. It's not Android updates causing that.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:

[X 2014 General] Robrecht:
The bottom sensors are not sensors at all. There is one sensor, at the top; the others are IR emitters. If you keep this in mind it explains why not all movements are picked up.
