So today I flashed my VZW Developer edition Moto X back to stock 4.4.4 to download the 5.1 OTA update. I got everything installed an am now trying to obtain root again. Since I have the Dev edition, my bootloader is unlocked so theoretically, I should just be able to flash superuser to get root, right?

Well, I installed my custom recovery TWRP and downloaded the lastest recovery flashable supersu zip file and flashed the zip. When I reboot and open SuperSU it tells my that SU binaries are not installed.

I tried installing both ChainsDD and Clockworkmods version of Superuser as well as SuperSU with TWRP and clockwork recoveries and nothing is working.

Can anyone help me obtain root again?

Thanks!
[Moto X General] Travisdroidx2:
I flashed this in twrp and it work.

[HOW TO] How to Root 5.1 with (unlocked bootloader)

[Moto X General] dgwood12:
Thanks guys. Turns out the version of SuperSU I downloaded was not the latest version. I downloaded the beta version and that worked great. Thanks!
[Moto X General] whopua:
Would you be able to point me to a thread with the steps to flash stock. I haven't done this since I got the phone and it's true what they say. "If you don't use it you lose it." I just want to get rid of this constant reminder that I have an update to install.

Thanks!!

Anybody figure out to get tether to work?
[Moto X General] Johnny Wong:
If you are on Verizon network, all you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop. You'll need root for that, and can edit build.prop with any text editor/ root explorer. I can confirm that it works fine with VZW LP 5.1. The benefit of doing this simple procedure instead of using a Xposed module is that you can tethering without having root or Xposed installed. This is especially useful of you plan on using Android Pay which will not work if the phone is rooted.
[Moto X General] Travisdroidx2:
Thanks, worked perfect!
[Moto X General] whopua:
Real quick before I get started. It seems like option 6 is the right one. I am rooted really just for tether, root explorer, and call master. How do I check to make sure I didn't download Xposed? I don't think I did but I want to be sure first. I haven't tinkered with this since I got it.

Thanks again!!
[Moto X General] nexus7lte:
how did you flash back to 4.4.4?
[Moto X General] Fly135s:
Android Pay works with root. In order to setup cards you have to uncheck "enable supersu" within supersu first, then setup your cards in Android Pay, then you can go back to supersu and re-enable it by checking the box.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
option 6 only flashes stock recovery.

How did you tether? If you rooted to tether, you likely modified something. You'll need to undo that. Unless you used the Wifi Tether for Root APK, in which case you should be fine with just stock recovery back on there.
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
Are people getting OTA update on Verizon. It sure sounds like it but I've not got any notification
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Yes they are, but its rolling out in phases or waves.. so it could be anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks until your phone gets it.

If you can't wait, copies of the OTA Zip files needed were posted in the "waiting room" thread, which you can copy to your phone, and manually install via stock recovery. (Of course just like all past OTA's, your phone has to be stock, stock recovery, no Xposed, etc or the OTA zip wont install)
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
Thank-you
[Moto X General] whopua:
I am using WiFi Tether. So option 6 will unroot my device for the OTA? Also I went to the motorola software image page and they only had KXA21.12-L1.26.1-1 available. I have KXA21.12-L1.26-3. Will this end up being a problem? I cannot find the recovery image for 26-3 anywhere... yet.
[Moto X General] Fly135s:
It will be a problem, I experienced it. Fortunately somebody in the waiting room thread posted a link to the stock L26 version of 4.4.4 and that got me my ota. With the L26.1 recovery image I couldn't get past the L26.4 ota on my DE to get the 5.1 ota.
[Moto X General] whopua:
Is there a link available? I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I make any attempt.

Thanks
[Moto X General] Fly135s:
Keep in mind this was done on my XT1060 developer edition with the bootloader unlocked.

[Waiting Room]Verizon XT1060 Lollipop (5.1) OTA & FXZ thread

I used the second link in this post labeled "here"

Here's good instructions for dirty flashing to stock, I used option 5:

http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html

Once I had the 5.1 ota I ensured I had SuperSU 2.46 zip in my download folder. Then I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and immediately rebooted into TWRP recovery and installed the SuperSU zip and had root.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

There's also a link to the full 5.1 sbf in the waiting room thread.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I would just get the full 5.1 SBF which has been posted. http://motofirmware.center/files/category/11-moto-x-1st-generation/ (Note there was a hard drive issue on this site causing it to be down a few days, but its now fixed. Mirrors to the file have also been posted in other threads here on XDA)

I just did the following...

Back up my data (copy via USB cable to PC)

went Settings -> Backup and Reset and did a factory reset.

booted the phone to bootloader.

flash the 5.1 SBF by following option 5 at -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61142892&postcount=2 NOTE: I also did a mfastboot erase userdata BEFORE the final reboot

When booting was finished, I did the initial setup and let the apps in the play store update. Google Play Services was a pain. Just let it sit, it will update.

connect phone to PC via USB cord and copied the latest SuperSU zip to /sdcard

reboot to bootloader

Rooted by following -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-how-to-root-5-1-unlocked-t3140217 (using twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img )

I was not prompted by TWRP to root, so I had to do the extra steps to install the SuperSU zip file.

reboot to system.

install apps, customize, copy any data/ringtones/music back on the /SDcard partition.

Done.

Root is working. Root Explorer can hit /system and other protected folders, as well as edit/rename files in them.

I did not install Xposed, the only thing I was using it for on 4.4.4 was to get the data traffic arrows back (the up/down arrows next the signal bars). They are present in 5.1, so I didn't need Xposed.

And I have yet to install and configure Wifi Tether for Root. I rarely use it, and didn't have time after upgrading, re-installing my apps, and configuring from scratch.
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
Thanks

Trying this after class.

Curious - When do you think official image as found here will be released..
[Moto X General] zackiv31:
Tether question, for those that enabled root by editing build.prop, is that detectable by Verizon? I've only ever used https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list on KitKat so I'm a bit weary about using the native lollipop tether. Don't want to mess with my unlimited data plan.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
When moto gets around to it. But other than maybe including their tweaked Fastboot, I doubt it will be any different than the 5.1 SBF that has already leaked.
[Moto X General] whopua:
I was planning on doing this on my first day off tomorrow and when I unplugged my phone it rebooted and installed 26-4. I this going to screw everything up? I've been purposely trying to avoid that mini update that preps the phone to take 5.1.

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

I'm also curious how it did that with my phone unlocked and rooted. I've always had to change that to install any OTA.
[Moto X General] whopua:
So I did option 5 and just let the phone update previously downloaded software from Verizon to get to 5.1 Worked just fine other than having to re-tweak my wifi tether router app. However in your post you suggest for the 5.1 zip do I take the first option that has Verizon in the title? It makes the most sense since I'm on VZW I'm just checking. I just want to have the file on hand in case of future problems.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Yes, if you have a Verizon XT1060 (Developer Edition, or not), get the one with Verizon in the name.
[Moto X General] thefluxster:
I can confirm that this fix worked GREAT for restoring my Bluetooth and Wireless functionality, in addition to re-enabling the use of hotspot. Not sure what is up with this latest update from VZW/Moto, but it's been HORRIFIC to get working correctly... I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed the 5.1 Stock Modded Rom, rooted with SuperSU, re-flashed the stock modem, and FINALLY found this gem to get the Wireless/Bluetooth/Tethering back online! I was ready to buy a new phone, but now I can easily wait a year. :) I've loved this phone and was REALLY mad when it updated and lost the aforementioned functionality.

I've rebooted and shut down multiple times now and have had no problems getting back on WiFi or turning both Bluetooth and WiFi on at the same time. Looks to be a winner to me.

Using the Verizon Moto X Developer Edition (XT1060) on 5.1 Stock Modded Rom, Unlocked bootloader, TWRP. Full use of all the Moto X (2013) enhancements (Active Display, Touchless Control, Twist to Capture, Chop for Flashlight, etc.). Beautiful phone again!

Thank you!
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
(bold added by me) Stock "Modded" means its been modified from stock..

It is possible the modifications were the cause of the issues you encountered.

Now, if you flashed back to completely stock using one of the 4.4.4 factory images and took the 5.1 OTA, or you just flashed the complete 5.1 SBF that was leaked to get to 5.1, remained completely stock and had issues, it could be a different story.

It seems to me, most of those NOT having issues have returned to 100% stock (except bootloader unlock status), factory reset, and either took the OTA or flashed the 5.1 SBF, then manually setup/configured their phone. Those having the most issues with 5.1 have modified their phone in some way and haven't factory reset, or if they have factory reset, they have RESTORED a backup of apps/data.

It STINKS that returning to factory, and doing a factory reset and manual install your apps, and reconfigure seems to be needed for the 5.1 update. Then again, those who factory reset at update time always seemed to have less issues in the past too.
[Moto X General] thefluxster:
Went to bed with everything working great. Woke up to find that it was all broken again... Checked the build.prop and it looks like a space got inserted between two words magically. Removed it. Rebooted. No go.

So frustrating! I am now trying the 4.4.4 modem to see if that makes a difference. If not, I'll try downgrading to 4.4.4 stock. If that doesn't work, I may need to buy a new phone...

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

My first try at 5.1 was from completely stock 4.4.4 to 5.1 and I encountered the radio problems (WiFi not working, Bluetooth kills WiFi, no wifi tethering). However, you're right, I hadn't done a FDR before I accepted the OTA update. Should have. :(

It was after this that I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the modded stock rom and so-forth.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

After installing the 4.4.4 modem from Motorola's legacy OTA downloads, I can now connect to WiFi, Bluetooth, and start my hotspot. Given how finicky this thing has been, I'm not going to claim victory just yet, but so far, so good. I'll do a few resets and power offs to make sure everything is working first.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

I've rebooted 4-5 times, shut down 2 times, gone into recovery and fastboot, started with and without the charger plugged in and it's still working. That's good. The next thing will be to leave it powered on charging for several hours as it was last night. If that works, I'm hopeful it will continue working, but we'll see. Others have had it working only to stop when they connect to a Bluetooth device and I've seen that behavior as well. That will be next after the long-on test that caused it to revert last night.
[Moto X General] thefluxster:
No problems with the modem, but speakerphone was no longer working for phone calls. It worked fine with Skype, but not the default phone app. I tried replacing it using a dialer, but it appears it's a different app that all the dialers launch upon placing a call.

I read somewhere that upgrading to the 5.1 modem fixes the problem so I tried that again and it appears that everything is working - for now. I'll give it some more time to see if the radios start acting up again before I call this good; one step at a time, right?
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
Worked well. I always forget to change "Mount R/O" to "Mount R/W" in Root Explorer when making changes to "build.prop". Be sure Mount Read/Write permissions before saving.

[XDA Assist] ASUS Zen Life:
Stupid of me to do knowing the risk but I rooted my ASUS Zenfone 2 and everything was fine until I started playing around with an app called "LuckyPatcher". I was attempting to learn a few things about Android Rooting and all the things you can do with it. So I attempted to install an alternate Play Store and something must have went wrong because the actual Play Store was uninstalled from the phone and the alternate one was not put up in it's place... then after that I was getting a system message that read "com.google.process.gapps" and each time I hit OK to dismiss the message it would just pop right back up and would not go away. I tried clearing the Play Services Cache, Download Manager Cache and all of that but to no success, I was forced to restore my phone to factory settings but that's where things got worse...

After restoring it to factory settings, I was unable to get past the initial set up and the same message reading "com.google.process.gapps" continued to pop up again and again. I went on to try and go into recovery mode on the phone and when I did, the little Android guy would pop up for a second then instead of continuing the recovery process it just read "error" with the little Android guy laying on his side... I believe my phone is bricked and I can't figure out how to fix it and I would rather not reach out to ASUS about the problem, anyone have any Ideas? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Xda does not condone, discuss or support issues due to warez. Which is what lucky Patcher is.

Basically, I change phones every year. When a new iPhone comes out, I get that but when it's a 'S' year, I get an Android instead. It's an 'S' year and I am considering the Z5 Premium. Before my iPhone 6, I was using the LG G2...

I know it's up to the vendors to release the latest updates and the Nexus line always have the latest Android. My question is, how is Sony in this regard? Do they generally take a long time to push out a new update? Or are they normally quite quick?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] styxter:
They update their products regularly. As i recall after initial release if there's a bug it only takes 2 to 3 mos to update problem after that new version of android released i think bet 3 to 6 mos. But great stability issues if ever theres a bug for new version 1 to 3 mos it will addressed by sony. As of now z series updated up to this date. This is based on experience on sony sony user since xperia s.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
I wanted to try this phone, but updates are so far behind. I sold my Z3 because of the lack of updates.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dushandiaz:
Updates to sony is about 2 months late than samsung

But it is very stable.

Sony devices are well supported by custom rom developers.

If we considered branded phones sony is only 2nd to Motorola in terms of custom rom development.

I mean if we consider all sony phones.

Not only Z series
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] CandyAndy:
I think that Sony updates quite well. And what is great about them is that they really make sure that the update is stable.

I remember the whole Lollipop fiasco last december when Nexus and Samsung got their latest update and it was just one big mess.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] styxter:
Well i dont know for others but sony update was a very stable update what's the point of updating fast and regularly if there are so many issues and problem if they can do one time fix.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Jygar:
Sony are definitely a growing brand, listening to consumers etc.

They're community testing the marshmallow concept build on the Z3 atm which is a novel approach as only Microsoft have done similar in the past.

I think updates will be more regular.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] sacredsoul:

I don't own a Z3 but I'm pretty sure it has gotten a LOT of updates and more to come.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
The phone didn't get many updates and when it did they dealt solely with Sony and not so much Android based updates.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] itsjustJOH:
The phone came out with 4.4, got updated to 5.0 and then 5.1. It's also gonna get 6.0. It has all the Android versions since 4.4. The rest are minor updates. I don't get how much is "many" for you.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
Honestly, it doesn't matter at this point I sold the phone. Also, the phone I had through T-Mobile never received the 5.0 update before I sold it. At that point "many" turns out to be a lot based upon your post.

Well you bought the carrier locked phone, don't blame Sony for that.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
I'm not blaming anyone and I'm not sure how you concluded I was blaming Sony. I made the conscious choice to purchase the phone and made the same choice to sell it. If I ever decide to purchase on again, I'll get the unlocked version.

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] itsjustJOH:
You just implied that the updates on Sony phones "are so far behind" because of your experience with one phone that was apparently carrier locked but you did not state it on your original post. Even if you did not mean that, the construction of your sentences does otherwise.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
I didn't imply anything, you assumed nor did I say Sony phones. I referred to the phone I had and my sentence structure if off in your opinion should lead to questions not sweeping characterization of my statement. What's your point and are you taking the position to be the defender of all things Sony? [emoji23]
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] itsjustJOH:
My point is you that wrote something that seemed something negative about Sony's updates because of your experience of one phone (that is again apparently carrier locked) which should not be because of how much they update their phones, I proved it and that's when you said it's from T-Mobile, you defended your original post and I merely pointed out how it's because of your sentence structure that made it seem like you were stereotyping all Sony phones. I reacted because I know how many updates the Z3 has received despite not owning it, and, yes, I'm a Sony fan.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
It's not a negative post, its simply a fact as it relates to the phone I purchased. Your point is correct when you started, "because of your experience". Your proof is that the carrier version doesn't receive updates like the international version.

So, to that point my position is correct to have sold the phone. It's not that I dislike Sony. You have to stop assuming and start asking questions for clarification before defending a position that needs no defense.

We're all entitled to our opinions based upon the products we purchase. Also, if you don't own one please don't assume all models receive updates. Just a thought. [emoji56]
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] itsjustJOH:
I just assumed it was a regular Z3, as (almost) everyone knows carrier locked phones receive, or do not at all, updates slower. Just a thought as well.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alhadee12:
Assumption is why we were having this discussion.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] itsjustJOH:
