hello there xda users
i have recently bricked my phone and managed to reflash the firmware, but, i had to add the bootloader file with the split firmware package.
what i want to do is install the latest XXLD3 firmware on top of the current s5830ixxkk5/gingerbread.xxlk1 firmware package but im worried because i am thinking that the bootloader file has to be the same as the firmware if you know what i mean. can i install the xxld3 on the xxkk5 bootloader without bricking my phone again? any help would be appreciated. thanks

First of all this development section......
for queries u should have gone to other thread.......
As far as flash is concerned ....... i think u can... i am not pretty much sure but i think so.
but if u need a bootloader file go to unbrick tutorial of mine and download the package for unbrick... take the bootloader file from there..... its from xxld

Use ODIN flash YOUR stock rom csc/pda/modem to wait till it boots, after that go to download mode again and just flash pda of XXLD3 using ODIN again. For flashing you dont need the bootloader use ODIN 1.84. I change my WHLA1 to XXLA2 just by flashing the pda of xxla2
And by the way remember what feetsonfire said, this queries need to be on general section not in development

There is no leaked 4.4.4 full SBF yet. In a couple weeks, maybe a month it will probably be released.
As long as you never downgraded from a higher version to the german 4.4.2, you can take the OTA without risk. You will need stock Recovery, no Xposed, and no significant modifications made to /system.
Assuming you are full stock and haven't made modifications, the OTA should install without issue.
We will need more details to properly advise you.

If you used RSDLite and fully flashed the SBF to your phone, or used mfastboot and flashed ALL PARTS to your phone, you are safe to take whatever 4.4.4 OTA is pushed to you.
If you only flashed "parts" and have mixed versions (system.img from one rom, no-hols.bin from another, etc), then you need to be careful.. or if you have one version on your phone and try to downgrade it to a lower version.
As @samwathegreat said, there is no leak of a 4.4.4 SBF yet, (well the Verizon one has but we would not recommend flashing it on anything but a Verizon XT1060 phone)
The guys that maintain http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 do a great job FINDING the full SBF files, and posting them as soon as they get their hands on them. But since that site isn't owned, operated or supported by Moto, we have no way of knowing how long it will take for the SBF's to show up.

If you have flashed modem files from a different rom than the rest of your phone, any OTA will likely fail its pre-validation checks.
Mixing parts of two different roms isn't advised. Taking updates can fail, brick your phone, or cause other unexpected results.
Sure, there are one or two who say they've done it and are "fine" but we've seen enough posts to know the next OTA, next time they flash, they will likely encounter issues.
My advice. stay with what you have, and wait for the 4.4.4 SBF for the model/carrier you have, and fully flash it. It is the SAFEST way to go.

@KidJoe:
my position is to have flashed in manual ALL PART of SBF 4.4.2 en.DE
Need only to reflash the modem from 4.4.2 TMOBILE because the gsm phone doesn't work (no signal)
so I don't make any mix with more roms. only stock en.De (all parts) and the modem from tmobile.
I received the ota update for 4.4.4 retail en.DE ...
do you think it's safe to install, or as you said, await the full firmware 4.4.4 SBF ?
do you know where, eventualy, I can find tmobile modem 4.4.4 to flash ?
if can't find the 4.4.4, the 4.4.2 tmobile modem (that now I use with success ) do you think is good or not to works in 4.4.4 firmware en.DE ?
thanks again

hi Daniel,
I flashed manual in fastboot ALL part of 4.4.2 files from SBF en.DE (not use RDS)
as you say me, the radio modem doesn't works and flash the tmobile modem (like you send me) and all is OK
now received notification about OTA to 4.4.4 (en.DE)
so, you think it's safe to download ota abd update ?
if radio not work, reflash manual the fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin that I've, right ?
Thanks for reply Danny
EDIT :
I'm on 4.4.2 en.DE stock but ROOTED an with xposed modules and TWRP recovery ....
any problems to install ota ?

Hello,
I have the same problem. I bought a US Moto X Dev Ed. and flashed the german retail with the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/update-xt1058-to-android-4-4-2-uk-t2628381
Is it right that I should not accept the OTA because I deleted the modem lines?
Hello,
New to all this and my phone is now past-it enough that I am willing to start tinkering!
I have read through the forums to try and understand what I need to do, can I just check this is somewhere along the right lines:
I want to trigger the Kitkat update, but am on the stock Orange GB Jellybean rom/firmware.
I *think* I need to use RSD to flash a Retail EU JB firmware onto my phone, which will then pick up the OTA Kitkat update? Is that right? I know there are other ways to load Kitkat but they are more involved/more subject to bricking my phone etc?
Edit: above works after bit more researching! End.
My ROM is P7-L10V100R001C00B136 and my cust is CUSTC405D999, my phone is on Android 4.4.2 and rooted as well, i read through some threads but i couldn't get a clear answer to which ROM i should get going from the B136, especially that all this is procedural, you need to flash from one ROM to another to get to the latest one, and that's where i'm lost, so what course should i take to get the latest update ?
Thanks in advance.

When asking such questions it is necessary to provide more info
Also, dload does not work good with all stock firmwares and is not enough to restore stock from custom ROMs.
Also, if dload is forced with mixing custs, it can brick the phone
Supposing you were (before custom), you are now and you are going back to Nougat, use HWOTA
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
Of course, you need unlocked Bootloader and FRP.
Please open P9 Questions and Answers and you will find similar discussions - and further questions like what if you didn't keep your Bootloader code (you should have had it when flashing custom ROM), and so
Edit: Thanks to the link you provided, I managed to flash stock firmware. Thank you very much!
