[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
This thread contains images made by ME personally with TWRP in various stages of installation (stock, root, root with permanent TWRP), and therefore is Android Development.

It also contains publicly released Motorola KitKat 4.4.4 and Lollipop 5.0.2 factory images, not subject to any confidentiality agreement, which are useful for people to flash to upgrade to Lollipop from KitKat or to convert a Moto Maxx XT1225 (Latin America) to Moto Turbo XT1225 (India). Why would you want to do that? Well, same exact hardware, same exact FCC ID, just a different model name for different market. In the Moto Turbo XT1225 , Motorola finally officially admits some bands which are also enabled in the Moto Maxx -- but which they did not list in the official specs for the Moto Maxx (even though they are there.) This is helpful to owners/prospective buyers in U.S. and Canada especially for LTE band 5 (used by AT&T in the U.S. and other carriers in Canada) and HSPA band 4 (used by T-mobile and other carriers in Canada). These bands are there in all the XT1225 images, but only OFFICIALLY listed in the Moto Turbo XT1225.

NOTE: the MediaFire mirror links seem to work better than the OneDrive links. Also have some Google Drive links.

New Brazil Moto Maxx 5.0.2 factory image at bottom of post next to the India Moto Turbo 5.0.2 -- with MediaFire and Google Drive links. Scroll down!

The downloads in this post are divided into two sections:

1) TWRP BACKUPS which I made in various stages, such as

stock, unrooted

stock + rooted

stock + rooted + permanent TWRP

You need TWRP to flash these. You can use a temporary installation of TWRP (one time, one off) if you do not wish to permanently install TWRP. Instruction in the post below

2) Straight Factory Images which you need RSD Lite to flash

These are

Puerto Rico 4.4.4

India 5.0.2

Brazil 5.0.2

They are under the "Non-TWRP" heading towards the bottom of the post.

For these, you will need RSDLite 6.2.4, found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wnxtofd1hwxvokj/RSDLite 6.2.4 (1).zip?dl=0

OR you can unzip the image and use [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] excellent instructions in this thread to flash all sections of the image using mfastboot.

__________________

I have two Moto Maxx (XT1225) phones, one from Mexico and one from Puerto Rico. This is the international version of the Droid Turbo (XT1254). They have identical hardware, but the XT1225 has unlockable bootloader, has

root and we have TWRP recovery

.

Assigned FCC ID IHDT56PK2, when it passed through the FCC. All phones sold in USA or U.S. territories need FCC certification. This phone is being sold in Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory.

All Moto Maxx phones sold in Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Chile have this same FCC number. Therefore, all the Moto Maxx phones have identical hardware.

I made some TWRP backups on both my Mexico and Puerto Rico Moto Maxx phones in various states, so people can flash back to them while testing development on their phones. I posted these images elsewhere, over in a root thread, but I see people are posting images here also. Hope this helps someone.

This is Mexican Moto Maxx XT1225 Factory Image, rooted -- but no TWRP residing in recovery.

Rooting does NOT affect the ability to recieve OTA updates (like 5.0 Lollipop). Rooting just lets you removed apps you don't like, make changes, run apps like Titanium Backup, Root Browser, Xposed framework, Gravity Box, etc.

(On my daily phone, I'm running 4.4.4 from factory, but rooted and I have Gravity Box with lots of custom ROM features and I'm even running a Lollipop theme using Xthemes, which is an Xposed app. Can't do that without root.)

______________________________________________________________

3) Booted to ADB, flashed TWRP using

permanent method.

Already rooted, made a backup.

MIRROR: http://www.mediafire.com/download/kmn4dx68lu7y3p1/Moto-Maxx-XT1225-rooted-PR-image.zip

This is Mexican Moto Max XT1225 Factory Image, rooted with TWRP residing in recovery.

Having permanent TWRP lets you boot to recovery using the power menu (like in Gravity Box). You can easily flash zipped apps, make backups, restore backups, fix permissions, etc. Having custom recoery like TWRP does prevent OTA updates. But right now until we get some custom Lollipop ROMs for our Moto Maxx, I'm not giving up all the Gravity Box featues I have with Xposed in 4.4.4.

My first Moto Maxx is from Puerto Rico. Although sold by Claro, this image is unlocked and has ONLY Motorola software just like the Mexican Moto Maxx. So, there's nothing "retail" about it, it's factory. (The Moto Maxx sold by Claro has no bloatware). I posted these images before, nothing different, just putting them all in one post so they are easier to find.

See my notes above about rooting and TWRP.

______________________________________________________________

"Android version", "Kernel version", "Build number" are identical on both Mexico and Puerto Rico models. Only the "System Version" and "Baseband Version" info differs. However, I cannot tell any difference between the two. Same apps out of the box, same behavior, same GSM/HSPA/LTE bands enabled.

MORE INFO

]

Going to list the steps. If you have already done some of them, skip to the next.

1) Turn on phone and connect phone to computer via USB cable.

2) Download the

factory recovery image you want from my links

onto your phone, or drag the image over to your phone storage from computer.

3)

Download and install ADB

to your computer.

4) Unlock your bootloader. Get code from Motorola. Google unlock Motorola bootloader and click on link for the Motorola website. Follow the directions.

5) Download

TWRP recovery from the OP post of this thread

and extract files, preferably to your "platform-tools folder" where you installed ADB on your computer.

(In the screenshot below, I re-named TWRP to be "recovery.img" -- not to be confused with the factory recovery image made from TWRP that you are trying to flash. :rolleyes: The recovery.img in the folder below is TWRP. I should have named it that. Sorry for any confusion.)

In that "platform-tools" folder, then hit "shift" key on your keyboard, right click in open space and choose "open command window here".

6) Follow

instructions from the op post

to use command window (via ADB) to boot phone to the bootloader, and then use the command window (via ADB) to flash the "one time" TWRP recovery boot file.

This will not install TWRP recovery permanently. (You can

do that later

if you wish.) But you need to at least boot into "temporary" TWRP recovery to install any of the images.

7) In TWRP, then choose "restore" and browse to the TWRP recovery image you put on the phone from step #2. Choose that, and restore.

8) Reboot phone.

MOTO TURBO IMAGE (XT1225) - INDIA

QUARK_RETEU_INDIA_5.0.2_LXG22.33-12.11_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

This is the stock Lollipop 5.0.2 image that was released with the Moto Turbo XT1225, which is the same Quark device as the Moto Maxx XT1225. Just re-named for another market...

This is the firmware PUBLICLY released by Motorola on the Moto Turbo phones, bought by customers. It is NOT the subject of any confidential non-disclosure agreement. It is NOT any kind of soak test, beta test, whatever. It is FINAL factory software, shipped with the Moto Turbo XT1225.

This is my Moto Maxx XT1225 converted to India Moto Turbo XT1225 , flashing this image.

The advantage is Motorola lists all the current specs, including enabled bands for the Moto Turbo XT1225. Although the Moto Maxx XT1225 has the exact same bands (LTE and HSPA), on the Latin American Moto Maxx websites, Motorola does not admit all those bands are enabled, even though they are (like AT&T LTE band 5 and T-mobile HSPA band 4). By flashing the Moto Turbo Lollipop image, you can prove to other people you do indeed have all those bands, because it's on the Motorola Moto Turbo specs page. ;)
