[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
Theres are no RUU's available to restore phone.

tell us your problem and we try to help.

You need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP recovery.
[HTC One Mini 2] nsnobel2:
I want to unlock bootloader but could not due to corrupted stock recovery, I could not enter into stock recovery via fastboot menu
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
Sorry i read the post in the wrong way.

Try to flash stock recovery.

That's exactly what I did last night to make sure that I can get the OTA of Lollipop 5.1 when it finally comes out. I have a feeling that it will be rolling out here pretty soon.

Yeah its already rolling out in some areas of US.. Good luck :)

Not in my area yet.

Cool! Small world, isn't it?!
[Moto X General] hbar98:
Yep! I don't think that 5.1 is rolling out in the states yet... you'd think that whichever carrier rolled it out first would make some noise about it. I'll be ready, though! I really like 5.1.1 on my 2013 Nexus 7.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
If you have an unlocked bootloader and are rooted, and the only change you did to your phone was replacing recovery to root.. Here is another option to flash Stock Recovery back on your phone -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/ref-return-to-stock-recovery-rooted-t3027079

----

[MENTION=5782800]whizinc[/MENTION] , Something else to add to the OP on figuring out what ROM is on your phone...

Normally I would suggest BEFORE you flash away from Stock, on the phone you first go App Drawer -> Settings -> About Phone... Make note of what is listed under System Version, Android Version, and build number. Then visit one (or all) of the sites until that host the leaked SBF files until you find the SBF that matches and down load the file to your PC for use later.. The file name will usually contain parts or all of that info listed under settings, and possibly the carrier name, or acronym for the carrier name (Verizon might be VZW, Rogers Canada might be RCI, etc).

So for example: If your phone model is XT1058 and under about phone it reports...

android version is 4.4.4

system version is 212.44.26. ghost_row.RCI.en.ca

build nunber is KXA21.12-L1.26

That tells me you have a Rogers Canada (RCI) XT1058 with 4.4.4 ROM on it. When you look at the file factory site for your SBF, you want to look for a file that contains some/all of that info, like... XT1058_RCI-CA_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_59_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

(notice the parts of the "about phone" info and file name which are highlighted in Bold to help illustrate the example)

IF you are already running a CUSTOM or 3Rd party rom, like CM, system version and build number will not match STOCK Moto SBF files.

-------

You also might want to add info for those who couldn't wait, and flashed the LEAKED test/soak versions of 5.02 and 5.1 that now have bootloader 30.BC or 30.BD... as they will NOT want to downgrade to 4.4.4 as that will risk bricking, but rather WAIT and hope a 5.1 SBF for their model/carrier leaks in the coming weeks/months, then fully flash it to return to stock.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
All the information that you suggested has been added to the OP. Thank you! :good:

[Moto X General] miju12:
factory image for XT1052. if you download from the file factory site it takes a lot of time.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
file factory is the only site present and online for now which has all the firmwares in it... So that's why i preferred it, ignoring the problem of the download speeds...
[Moto X General] miju12:
yeah i know. if someone uploads the file to some other cloud like drive, won't it be easy to others to download? i have posted the link because if someone needs the asia retail factory image, it would be easy and fast to download from this link. and for others the file factory website is there. and the problem from downloading file from file factory is it can't be resume so if there is a network error you have to download the file from begining.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
I agree with you, But i dont think someone will do that because its not easy to upload such big files on a private drive like clouds etc...
[Moto X General] mbush78:

Hi guys,

I am trying to restore my moto x back to 100% stock as I am selling it. Right now its running CM 13 so obviously it doesnt say the correct information like it would if it was on stock in the settings.

I have a Verizon Moto x so I know I need the xt1096 sbf file.

Looking at the filefactory I see a bunch of ones just slighlty differing.

Before I download the SBF file because it looks like its going to take a very long time I want to make sure I download the correct one.

Would this be the correct one for my device?

VICTARA_VERIZON_XT1096_5.1_LPE23.32-25-5_cid2_CFC.xml.zip

Thanks in advance.
[Moto X General] tormin:
If you have a Verizon Moto X 2014 then yes, that looks like the right file. The only point of concern to me is that this is the Moto X 2013 forum, so if you have a 2013 Verizon Moto X then that would not be the right file. For a 2013 you would need the XT1060 image.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
XT1096= 2014 Verizon Moto X, The 2013 Moto X verizon variant is known as= XT1060 to be clear.

This thread is about Moto X 1st Gen 2013. The model of the Moto X (xt1096) you mentioned is 2nd Gen 2014. To answer your question, Perhaps Yes it would work just fine, But keep in mind that this thread doesn't have any concern with the 2014 Moto X. So whatever you do just take a look at the 2014 2nd Gen X specific threads and take good precautions.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
Hello everyone, First of all i would like to apologize that i was away for a really really long time, Since i was away from my home due to some studies and stuff and i never got a chance to reply all the people that asked for help.

First of all never quote such a long post buddy.. :p and for your help. Follow the steps from the OP in which i mentioned "You messed up and you're stuck on boot animation. Always read the OP thoroughly before asking. Your Answer is present already in the OP and it is explained briefly. :good:

[Moto X General] nvertigo:
Can someone help me identify which image version from this list I need? Very worried about bricking.

I have rooted MotoX Verizon Developer Edition on 4.4.4

I'm seeing two 4.4.4 verizons:

1) XT1060_GHOST_VERIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3_cid2_CFC.xml.zip

2) VZW_XT1060_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

I'm guessing it is the ghost version whic is a dead link. Does anyone have a mirror for this?
[Moto X General] whizinc:
Hello, Let me get back to you with the proper link for moto x dev edition in a bit, and do not worry about bricking your phone since your's is a Developer edition and AFAIK Dev edition phones never get brick because they always have options to unlock the bootloader so you can flash the recovery, partitions any time, hold on for a moment let me find the correct rom for you. :good:

EDIT: Found it! http://www.filefactory.com/file/38q6rpe04nov/VZW_XT1060_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip this is the correct firmware for the dev edition moto x 2013 according to Motorola official site see attched screenshot motorola's site states 4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26 and the link i provided states the same build number so i guess its correct. Good luck.

should also be mirrors in my

Just to confirm, the following should be Rogers 4.4.4 XT1058 ROM correct?

XT1058_RCI-CA_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_59_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

RCI - Rogers Canada

KXA21.12-L1.26 - What my stock Rogers 4.4.4 Moto X says undr build number

I know it's a sstupid question but my first Rogers Moto X was stuck on AT&T ROM for a couple months back in the day before the Rogers sbf came out (my own fault)... =( Just wanna be super duper condom safe
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
While that is the correct rom/SBF for a Rogers Canada (RCI) XT1058, when you mention being Stuck on an ATT Rom, the only caution I have would be if the GPT.BIN and Motoboot.img components are NEWER in the ATT rom on your phone, you wont be able to flash the RCI SBF without error, and potential bricking.

For more see -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202 especially points #3, #9, #12 in the original post, and Post #6 and Post #9 of that thread.

Of course, if the GPT/Motoboot components are newer (or somehow the same) in the RCI SBF, you are safe.

[Moto X General] seshsud:
by the time xt1053 gets OTA 5.1, I would have grown really old! been waiting for the past 6 months..was able to get 5.0.1 on my wife's moto G 2nd gen in Dec..epic fail!
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
There is nothing special for the Developer Editions of the 2013 X compared to any other. In reality it was ability to unlock the bootloader by getting the code from Moto without voiding warranty, and not being able to customize its look and memory size. For all but the ATT XT1058, Republic Wireless XT1049, and the Retail/MotoMaker Verizon XT1060, you could unlock the bootloader by getting the code from Moto, but it voided the warranty.

In your case, you mention Verizon... and you say you are STILL on 4.2.2... So you're not getting the OTA updates for some reason (you likely messed with 3C_OTA.APK and its ODEX file, or are running a custom rom with the updater disabled. So I would download the 4.4.4 XT1060 Verizon Dev rom from Moto's web site, and follow the instructions on Moto's page, using moto's Fastboot, to flash it.. that will take you to 4.4.4 STOCK, not rooted, no custom recovery, etc. At that point, you can sit and wait for the 5.1 update to finally get pushed.
[Moto X General] daddylonglegs:
Thank you so much! Does flashing to 4.4.4 wipe my phone?

I don't need to mess with locking or unlocking the bootloader before or after I do any of this, do I? I am assuming I can get root back once I get to 5.1? Supposedly 5.1 came out yesterday for my phone.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
Yes it will wipe all of your data.

As far as i know, i dont think you really need an unlocked bootloader for flashing stock firmware.

If your Bootloader is unlocked you can easily get root by flashing supersu on 5.1
[Moto X General] daddylonglegs:
Thank you. I would really like to just be able to upgrade without losing all of my data. If I could find 4.2.2 from Motorola's website, would that mean I wouldn't have to lose everything?
[Moto X General] whizinc:
There is only one workaround for you, which is : When executing flashing commands of fastboot, dont execute the "Fastboot Wipe data command". Your data will be saved and the Android system would be upgraded. I recommended you to use Rsd Lite and edit the Xml file and remove getvar and wipe commands. Refer to the Op for complete guide.
[Moto X General] daddylonglegs:
Motorola would only send me the link for 4.4.2 for my phone. Is that OK to use instead of 4.4.4?

So my steps would be

1) Do not worry about re-locking the bootloader, just leaving the bootloader unlocked is fine

2) use the guide in the OP to flash 4.4.2 but make sure to edit out instances of getvar and wipe

3) That's it? I am just trying to be extra careful here. Thank you!
[Moto X General] daddylonglegs:
Well I managed to restore the original recovery, however when I try to update OTA it says "update failed" when it's at about 25% completed. Then the phone reboots and says install failed there as well.

I am not sure what can be wrong now that I have the stock recovery. I have "unfrozen" any bloat that I froze with Titanium, so it can't be that. Help!
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Since I suggested you follow the instructions on Moto's page, using moto's Fastboot, to flash it.. You can control if data is erased, and if your bootloader gets relocked..

Skip any fastboot erase userdata and any fastboot oem lock lines which might be suggested. But even if you manage to preform the steps needed to relock your bootloader, since you have the Dev Edition, you can always reuse your code and unlock again if/when needed.

Root with 5.1 and an unlocked bootloader (using the code from Moto) should be about the same as before...

As for 5.1 for your phone... I've been away for personal reasons, so I haven't kept up... BUT I don't think final release for the XT1060 has happened yet. Maybe a test drive version leaked, or a soak leaked... but I doub't a final release is starting right now.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
Forget about the OTA. OTA's are really annoying nowadays.. Just find a 4.4.4 version for your phone and flash it throught fastboot and dont execute the wipe user data command then flash, you will be set for the 5.1. Sorry for late reply, i couldn't reply as i was really busy in something else.
[Moto X General] daddylonglegs:
I am a bit confused though. Doesn't this page say it's available?

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/105221

Am I reading something wrong?
[Moto X General] Br0NaS:
I have Moto X XT1052, currently i'm on CM 12.1 Official , can i use this method to flash stock 4.4.4?? thanks for help.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
Yes absolutely you can use this method! This is exactly what this thread is about. Go through the whole OP thoroughly and implement it. You will be on the Stock 4.4.4 easily.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Yes, those are release notes... But there are many variants of the 2013 Moto X (aka 1st gen), and each variant will get the update at different times.

You said you have the Verizon version. Verizon has NOT started pushing 5.1.

And other that test drives via the Moto Feedback Network (MFN), I've not seen reports of a GA release to all 1St Gen Moto X's yet.

Also, notice that page says "If you have received a notification message for this update:" Well, have you received a notification for that update yet? I bet not.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

PMJI late, but... Moto has the 4.4.4 images for the 1st Gen Dev Edition for Verizon on their page. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

Its listed as...

MOTO X, VZW Dev Edition:
KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26.1-1 (VZW)
[Moto X General] daddylonglegs:
OK well I was able to get the latest update OTA after being on 4.2.2 forever on this phone. And I was able to do it way easier than the guide in the OP so I thought I would share. Also I am not trying to undermine the OP, I just wanted to post this in case no one else knew about it. Or maybe I am just doing something stupid without knowing it? But it worked for me and it was very nice to not have to lose everything and just get updates normally. I had a bunch of error messages at first but I slowly worked at it and figured it all out and in the end, this method I feel is way quicker (and less complicated, in my opinion) So anyway here is what I did and it worked:

1) Flash stock recovery for your exact phone's ROM/firmware since you cannot install OTA updates with anything but the stock recovery. I found Moto X Toolkit (for Windows, at least) with Rashr (from the Google Play store) works perfectly.

2) If you have them installed, uninstall XPosed Framework/Gravitybox as these mess with files in your system folders and will cause the update to fail. This one took me a long time to figure out. Simply uninstall them.

3) if you froze any apps using NoBloat, Titanium Backup, etc. , then "unfreeze" them. Even nonsense apps like VZ Navigator and NFL or any other bloatware that came preinstalled on your phone.

4) Using ES File Explorer (you will need root which of course you have), browse to system/etc. You will have a file called install-recovery.sh. Hopefully (and I did) you will have a file called install-recovery_original.sh. Simply rename install-recovery.sh to something like install-recoveryNEW.sh (or whatever you want) and rename install-recovery_original.sh to install-recovery.sh

This was the big one that took me a while to figure out. For whatever reason, I never seen anyone recommend this step and this is what fixed everything for me.

5) Reboot your phone and check for updates. It will download and install just like a stock phone (which I suppose it now is) without issue!

6) This will remove root. You will need to reinstall TWRP (obviously) and use that to flash supersu.zip and you're all done! Reinstall Xposed Framework, Gearbox, etc. when your phone boots up again if you wish.

My phone was on such an old update that I had to check for and install new updates like 4 times before I was finally caught up with the latest. But now that I am aware of the steps I took, I found this process to be very simple and quick and didn't require any wiping . I hope this helps someone else out there!
[Moto X General] whizinc:
The problem which you were on was kind of different from the OP, because you said you have to make sure that your data is saved. So thats why you had to go through several other things.. And Pardon me mate, But the method in the OP is the easiest and the most detailed method available on xda to get back to stock untill now. You found it hard because you were on a really different situation. But thank you for sharing your useful info. :)
[Moto X General] r_diaz13:
Anyone has the stock 5.0.2 recover for a x1053 they could share
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
You took the long way. But you pretty much re-discovered everything shared at -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/faq-kit-kat-how-to-prepare-carriers-t2536735 and -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-OTA.html

Also Had you followed my instructions (grab the SBF, aka Recovery Image, of 4.4.4 from Moto's site, you could have used moto's fastboot to flash all parts of your phone, and since you said you wanted to keep data, skipping the fastboot erase userdata command would have allowed that.) After doing so you would have been updated to the latest 4.4.4 for your phone, with your data and apps still intact, and ready to accept the OTA... Any changes to /system would have been undone, but that would be a help to you when the Lollipop OTA finally gets here.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
i guess no, because the complete SBF of 5.0.2 hasn't been released yet.
[Moto X General] r_diaz13:
Is this something which can't be extracted frog within the phone if it's on stock 5.0.2? Pardon my ignorance if the question seems silly. I have a stock uproot backup from 5.0.2 from when I did the soak test but now I get the ota for 5.1 and can't update. I did the whole restore from the Brazil twrp back up and didn't have a good experience.
[Moto X General] whizinc:
my apologies sir, but i dont have enough knowledge on this. [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION] might be able to help you on this. :)
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Most of the time, the OTA's don't include a recovery.img that we could flash stand alone... (I didn't download the 5.x leaks before the links vanished).

To take the 5.x OTA, you need stock recovery, and after taking the OTA, you are unrooted. To extract the stock recovery via DD commands, you need your phone to be rooted... But to root, you need to put TWRP back on which over writes stock recovery. So its not so simple.

Now, as for you "can't update" its probably because you are off the upgrade path. You installed a LEAKED update, any new update you try to install is going to expect you to be STOCK, since you are not, it will fail.

At this point, how to get onto stock 5.1 depends on a few things... so here are some suggestions...

There may be a leaked update which will take your ROM version to the current.. (i.e. If anyone in MFN Tests/Soaks leaked the first test updates, they might have leaked all of them.. you just have to find the ones you need to take you to 5.1). However, if the leaks dried up, or the links were all taken down, this wont be an option.

Is there a STOCK 5.1 SBF for your phone/carrier available? If so, flash it via mFastboot.

If your bootloader is 30.B7, flash stock 4.4.4 SBF for your carrier and phone model (use option 5 at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html ) Then you can take stock OTA's. NOTE: If your bootloader is 30.BC, 30.BD or 30.BE DO NOT attempt to flash 4.4.4!!!!

Try updating your phone via Motorola Device Manager -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481 NOTE: Per [MENTION=5983610]JulesJam[/MENTION] Moto Device Manager will put a copy of the full FXZ/SBF in C:\ProgramData\Motorola\SUE\Firmwares on your PC, so if you do this, look for the FXZ and copy it to a safe place, then upload it to share as it could help others :D

Wait for a 5.1 SBF for your phone model and carrier to leak. There is no way to know when or even IF this will happen!
