Hey [MENTION=4429834]juliospinoza[/MENTION] i used your tutorial to get 5.1 in my phone, since then no updates came to my phone until today that i got a message with a 4.3MB size system update (something about 26.1.1 vesion, dont remember well :/) I agreed (bad choice btw) and then phone restart, install update and then restart again, after that the phone got stuck in bootloader unlocked message like 15 minutes and no answer X( I tried to turnoff the phone but it seems just automatically restart and again on bootloader message but this time after a couple minutes the boot logo animation start and after 10 sec the phone turn off automatically, after this was the same every time i turn on the phone...

Know something about this update or how to fix?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
That OTA is a minor fix for the stagefright exploit.

After the 5.0 update the OTA's are more complicated than before, saying that way means that the OTA checks every part of your phone, system, recovery and modem and if everything checks your OTA will apply, if not, you will get a bootloop (TWRP recovery) or a OTA error update (system mods and modems).

You will have to flash system in order to have access to your phone again, you can save your data though.

good luck.
[X 2014 General] HCanseco:
Spoonfeed

Can i know how can i save my data? Link or anything else pls
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Use the same codes you used to update to 5.1.

*Fastboot flash modem, system and recovery.

Skip motoboot (bootloader), logo, boot (kernel) and erase userdata (your data).

Regards.

Hi and thanks for your post.

I bought my Moto X from Orange (french carrier). Would your method allow me to turn my phone into a Pure Edition as well ? I used to flash my GS3, but everything is new with the Moto so sorry if this is a stupid question.

I'm new so I can't post any config image, but here is what I have :

- Android version 4.4.4

- Baseband MSM8974BP_2147.127.04.57R, VICTARA_ORAFR_CUST

- Kernel 3.4.42-g815d8e9 hudsoncm@ilclbld36 #1 Thu Aug 28 16:22:31 CDT 2014

- System 21.21.42.victara_oraeu.oraeuall.en.EU orafr

- Build KXE21.187-42
[X 2014 General] samagas:
It should work, which model do you have? so far I've only seen american mobiles testing this method. Look around your USB plug and there you can find your model writen. Anyway, the process its the same to every phone: unlock bootloader, root, backup important files, flash xt1095 (pure edition) firmware, aply the updates and flash your modem's files so you can have signal. Acording to this posts: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-update-xt1095-pure-edition-to-t2937074/post56700701#post56700701 and http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-update-xt1095-pure-edition-to-t2937074/post56778275#post56778275 its the same for xt1092 so it should be the same for you.

Im not shure but maybe this will do it for you: ota official lollipop xt1097 mexico

If your device is xt1097 and you have the "KXE21.187-42" build maybe this would do it. In México carrier phones came with KXE21.187-30.3 and we can't aply the official update. Once again I'm not shure so you may just stick to this thread and make shure you backup everything before you start flashing stuff.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
The third carpet contains the old lollipop version 6 and its soak. The latest is the version 11 and is stable.

The convert should not be a problem when a update arrives because you already have your modem. If it's a OTA you should be able to install over the update center but if not try via side load. If your phone is Sim unlocked you should be able to install the latest version for 1097 without any convert try downloading the firmware and install side load. If is not working then this guide is for you
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
No problem my friend. You can use this guide to convert your model (1097 or 1092) to the pure edition. Just remember to backup your modem and firmware just in case you want to revert to stock or losing signal. This guide is for all that folks who are locked to a carrier and don't want to wait for the upgrade.
[X 2014 General] hkleinespel:
F*ck this, I can't unlock!

Being new to this (Samsung S3 didn't need any unlocking), this kinda s*cks.

Do you think there will be a way of unlocking every Moto X 2014 in the future ?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Not so sure. Locking the boot loader by carrier is kinda hard to figure it out a method. You should wait till your carrier release the OTA.

Unlocking should not be required providing we're flashing official Motorola signed images (I guess it's the case here). Unlocking bootloader is only required to flash unsigned images.

A guy has done it on a locked bootloader and have published the details on a french forum.

He has been able to update his phone to 5.0 using OTA zip, but some issues remains ("orafr" references still persist in the "about" screen).

The thread (in french) is here

**EDIT**

BTW, there exists a Motorola Window based tool ("RSD Lite") which could probably make the flashing process more staightforward

lost baseband

Hey, i did this method and i lost my baseband. I have tried restoring the modem both the .bin and the mbn though mfastboot but it doesn't work (it flashes fine but still no signal). My wifi is working and the rest of the system seems to be working on lolipop fine. I have the 1097 from Wind Mobile here in Canada. If anyone has the baseband for Wind Moto X please let me know.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
did you delete the olds modems before flashing the new one? remember to make a factory reset after so the system settle down.
[X 2014 General] vvaffles:
Thanks for the reply, by deleting the modem do you mean the fastboot command for modem erase? I will give it a shot with the factory reset, i think i might have just been speeding though. Does it make a difference if i did not back up my modem and am using another xt1097 one from in the forums?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Yes, the mfastboot command erase modem and after that flash your two modem files.

When I did this process at first wasn't able to find network. If you go to Settings/mobile network you will see a error message But after erasing modems and flashing my own backup everything went perfect.

I think you can use any 1097 modem to try to get signal because in this guide we are changing the original 1095 to a 1097 but always is better to you to have your own back up.

PS. I am receiving PM of people saying that this guide worked for them just try to follow every step and everything should be OK.
[X 2014 General] vvaffles:
Thanks, this worked! i think i just didnt do a factory restore. Thanks a lot for your help!
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
There are couple of firmwares for XT1097 "pure edition" (bought directly from Motorola) here in the forum. I have seen two so far, Mexico and France I don't know if there are some more. You should give a try.

Ok, well. I tried installing a reteu KitKat over my orafr KitKat, and it worked (followed the french tutorial). Apparently, there is also a way to remove the "orafr" mention, but it doesn't bother me. I now have the ability to upgrade to lollipop (which I did) and that's all I wanted!

If you can install and boot into TWRP it will allow you to connect to a computer over USB
[X 2014 General] :
I had a Telcel Mexico moto X. And followed this procedure to get 5.0 and then the Ota for 5.1. Yesterday's stagefright update went well.

Everything is working good.

So far, no negative consequences of the change to a pure edition.
[X 2014 General] luisbs:
Hi, I am having the same issue. After applying the OTA today in the morning my phone is in bootloop. I want to save my files and I can access the bootloader, however, when I connect to my laptop no device is recognised, I have tried with different cables and restarting both the laptop and the phone - no success.

Any tips?

And, if I can get to connect to my laptop and I save my filess with pull command. In order to "unbrick" it I need to only flash the system and the modem right?

Thanks.
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
Describe how it is not recognized. Does the fastboot command fastboot devices work? If it's not recognizing fastboot mode, it's probably an issue with either your drivers or the sdk is installed improperly.

If fastboot works, you can try installing TWRP. Once you're in TWRP you can either ADB pull files or simply plug it into your computer and use it over MTP.

I would personally flash the entire firmware if it's soft bricked. You may be able to make it work with just /system, but it doesn't hurt to do the whole thing.
[X 2014 General] luisbs:
As far as yesterday I had USB debugging enabled. Today after intalling the OTA and bootlooping I got into my laptop. Enter into bootloader mode on the phone, connect the usb to the laptop, phone starts charging and the bootloader screen says "usb connected". I open a cmd where adb is located. Write adb devices and no devices are listed.

Start to restart phone, laptop, etc for the last 2-3 hours unsuccesfully. Now I am a little desperate.

If I enter into recovery mode (the android with the exclamation logo) and I wipe my cache, what happens?

Thanks again, really appreciate it.
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
Wiping cache might fix it, it's worth a shot. It won't wipe your data.

ADB doesn't work in bootloader mode. Fastboot is the tool you need. It's similar to ADB, but be sure to look up the commands as there are some differences. "fastboot devices" is the command that lists devices just like adb devices does.

Try installing TWRP. Download the image, put it in your SDK folder, then in bootloader mode type "fastboot flash *****.img", where "*****" is the filename of the recovery file. Then reboot into recovery mode. ADB works in TWRP, as well as MTP.

Then try a factory reset. If the phone boots, awesome, and you can put your files back on. If it doesn't you'll have to flash the firmware manually in bootloader mode with fastboot commands.
[X 2014 General] luisbs:
Stupid me, fastboot does recognize my device! Wiped cache -- no success.

So I will flash TWRP (never done it) and let you know how it goes. The command is "fastboot flash twrp-2.8.7.1-victara.img" right? Just downloaded that one.
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
You got it!

On my US Cellular XT1093, I had issues with TWRP 2.8.6.X and up. Not sure which variant you have, or if it's just isolated to my device, but I found that 2.8.5.X worked where the newer versions didn't. So if that version doesn't work for whatever reason, just downgrade.
[X 2014 General] luisbs:
Sorry to be a pain. Now I have TWRP and I am in the menu with restore, backup, wipe, etc. From here how do I save files (particularly whatsapp and photos) to my laptop? And then how do I "unbrick" my phone?
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
ADB works in TWRP. Just plug it in and do ADB like normal.

Or just plug your phone into the computer and browse the filesystem through My Computer just like normal.

After you get your files, do a factory reset in TWRP (under Wipe). If that works, cool. If not:

Which variant of the Moto X 2014 do you have? Which carrier or model number? I'll try to point you to instructions on how to reinstall the firmware once I know which one you have.
[X 2014 General] luisbs:
Thanks, factory reset did not work, still bootlooping but now I have my files on my laptop. I have a Telcel XT1097 that I converted to XT1095 with Lolipop using this very thread. Should I download the same files and do the installation again? Is not this the famous downgrade and bricking?
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
You want to use the latest firmware. Use whatever you were on most recently. Do not use an older firmware, that will brick you hard. I don't know anything about the Telcel XT1097 nor the details about how converting to XT1095 might complicate things in this matter. Maybe someone else can chime in.
[X 2014 General] sanTRiP-Dj:
I can confirm this worked, just flashed system, modem and recovery, and also erased cache(just to be sure) but WITHOUT erasing user data.

My phone is out of the bootloop and working with all apps and all personal data as it was before the OTA this morning without problems. THANK YOU!

it also gave me an "error code" about the unsuccesful update, so i guess nothing was lost or reset.

And in other questions: I have a xt1097 32gb (motomaker) from Telcel converted from 4.4 stock to 5.1 "pure" with this guide, but when connected via USB it is recognized still as xt1097 and not xt1095, did i do something wrong that did not change something or it is normal being the orginal phone identifier? (everything has been working great).

Last one: Now that Telcel and Motorola have released the official 5.1 update for this model number, is there a way to be back to "stock as new" so to install the official 5.1 software of the phone (i know it would have the telcel cr**ware again), and then install this new security update to test if bugfixes make some stability changes

OR

is there some way of installing this update in the "pure" 5.1 I have now but without it bootlooping?

Thanks!

[X 2014 General] fuel426:
Did everything as indicated, worked flawlessly on my xt1096, kudos to everyone involved. Just one question, I've looked how to install a custom recovery but none work, anyone else has the same issue?
[X 2014 General] sanTRiP-Dj:
Ok guys, so after yesterday's stagefright OTA update getting me to a bootloop, and then fastboot flashing system, modem and recovery to get back to working order, It kept bugging me with the update notifications, so I decided to give it a try at installing the OTA again, and surprise! IT INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEM!

I'm now running 23.16.6

My problem is now I have no root, was it because of yesterdays fastboot flashing or was it lost before? (when upgrading to 5.1) i remember it was working but not when...

And more important, is there a way to root again without wiping everything?

thanks!
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
after flashing a new system via fastboot you will always lose root.

If you want an easy method to root, flash TWRP and after the first reboot the recovery will ask if you want to root your phone, just select "yes" and that's it. I dont remember if there is any risk to lose your data, but I am pretty sure is not.

None of the methods posted will work for your device because the bootloader is locked.

Answering, no, for me is not worth. You use root and xposed and in order to have marshmallow the phone has to be 100% stock. My suggestion is to wait till the official release and then flash it, not before.
