Moto X won't update to KitKat

I purchased a Moto X today. It is currently on 4.2.2. Whenever I update it, it says that device is fully updated. I tried searching on Xda but couldn't find a relevant thread. I don't want to root it or flash a Rom, I want to avoid all that. Also I am new to Xda, if this is not the right place to post this then please let me know.

Best way would be to go to the return to stock thread and flash your carriers sbf for 4.4.4
You can flash it via mfastboot or with rsd. There is also a toolkit in the development section. Good luck and ask if you have questions.

There is no way of updating through OTA?

Being on 4.2.2, invest in Sunshine to unlock the bootloader. Why worry about OTAs when you have the option to update manually?

Once you update to 4.4.4, you will not be able to unlock your bootloader, or root. If that doesn't matter to you, then no worries.
But if you ever want to Root, unlocking your bootloader now is the best option. With Sunshine, for $25.
Sunshine won't work on 4.4.4, and you'll be stuck, with no chance to Root as of now. ?

A few questions...
Did you buy it new or used?
Can you boot into Fastboot/Bootloader mode what is listed on the 2nd line of the phone's screen?
Your screen shots indicate this is an ATT Branded XT1058. Is that correct? do you have the ATT logo on its back? do you see XT1058 in the very small fine print on the back of the phone?
That being said, IF you ever want to root, and your phone is fully on the 4.2.2 rom (including the correct bootloader version), then you will want to use Sunshine to unlock the bootloader NOW before you worry about updates. Once your phone has been updated to 4.4.4 you wont be able to bootloader unlock it.
Once you are ready to upgrade, the best option is to figure out what Android version you want, grab the correct SBF for your carrier/model/android version, and flash it. Taking OTA's are incremental. You need to install one after the other to get to the version you want to be on. SBF files are FULL/All-Inclusive roms, so you just flash the latest you want to be on, so its quicker and Easier.
One final thing.. since I've seen something like this before... IF you have the latest android sdk/platform tools installed on your PC, and USB Debugging turned on (on your phone), then while still in Fastboot/Bootloader mode, connect the phone to your PC, and do a fastboot getvar all what does your phone say for the following...
(bootloader) unlocked:
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid:
(bootloader) cid:
and does it show the proper IMEI?

Where did you buy yours??
My suggestion... if you are SURE its an ATT XT1058, use mfastbooot to flash the 4.4.2 ATT SBF, make sure the phone works, if it does, try sunshine to get the Unlocked status to 3. Then you can try flashing 4.4.4 SBF
*IF* that works, without bricking, count your self lucky.

Bought it from a shop that sells used phones. Asked the guy to give me another piece, he says he will in a couple of days when the phone is in stock again.
It is printed on the bottom backside of the phone XT1058 Designed and Assembled in the USA. So it is probably a case of improper flashing.
Also, what is SBF? And after unlocking the bootloader, do I need to root the phone to flash the 4.4.4 SBF?

SBF = full Stock Motorola signed rom.
Root isn't needed to flash a ROM.
You don't NEED to unlock the bootloader, unless you feel you want to root at some point. Because you are on XDA, its usually expected you are looking to hack and customize your phone. Most of that needs rooting. The best way to root, and ensure you can root later, is unlock the bootloader. Hence the mention of it.
If you are going to get a replacement, I wouldn't mess with this phone. I wouldn't try sunshine (as its tied to the phone, so replace your phone and you'd have to pay for sunshine again). If you try and reflash it, you could screw it up, then the seller might not take it back.
"improper flashing" has been the cause of many bricks, either immediately or down the road. So if that is truly the case (that improper flashing is the cause, or even suspected cause), I would advise you to not mess with it if you are able to return/exchange it.

Yes , your device bootloader has been unlocked.

Whats interesting is that both @RafaySid and @mateen1994 bought the phones from the same country; probably even from the same seller.
I guess the seller bought used ATT phones from USA and tried to unlock them via flashing some different custom ROM and ended up messing it up.
I've found quite a few devices in the market with this problem.

I bought mine from a guy in Karachi

No, not from the same seller I'm pretty sure. I guess these phones are imported from abroad which have been improperly flashed or something. I sorted out my problem though.

S-ON with no system on! how to get out?!

Hello.. how are ya devs
I've asked this last night numerously and ended up with headaches.. yes.
I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING from my htc one and I have S-ON so I basically can't flash a firmware.. So I spent the last night looking at my beautiful blank white screen.. How do I fix it please? I'd appreciate a help..

Quick Help (might work 4 you)
Hey buddy,
I got myself a M7 working again by letting it get set back to stock from a RUU.exe which fit to my phone.
It was S-On and with an UNlocked bootloader.
At first is to say that I cant provide any guarantee for the workability of my solution, neither will I take any responsibiliry in case you mess your mess up even more
But here is how I went on the case:
I just got myself this quick installer here to set up my PC for adb and fastboot commands!
Second you will need the HTC Drivers ("Solo Driver Installer) and a working USB Cable of course
After connecting Phone I started my Phone into bootloader and swiched to the "fastboot" mode! I used the Windows "CMD" command tool to find out which Baseband version i need, by typing fastboot devices and fastboot getvar all. The second command gives you the needed infomation about your Baseband!
After finding out, find your fitting RUU.exe right here and load that 1,6 GB file
At last all you need is to make sure that your bootloader is (RE-)LOCKED, because else the RUU.exe wont work!
A simple fastboot lock oem will do the thing! Afterwards your Phone should be able to get reflashed with the Stock ROM and stuff that comes by the RUU! NOTE: Unlocking your Bootloader requires a working OS as far as i know, and cant be done by another "Fastboot oem UNlock" command
This link is describing the same procedure in case you're unsure..
Greetings, a happy owner of a working HTC M7

Help - OTA Update gave me a brick

Hey XDA,
I was rooted, unlocked and TWRP'd on I think 6.4? I realized I wanted to go back to locked and stock after seeing some of the security stuff come out. I used SPFT to flash the 6.1 Prime Rom, and everything was working great. Phone booted no problem, and seemed to work fine. I then tried to use the Wireless Update to update the phone. It looked liked it downloaded fine, but now I'm in a reboot loop, and recovery does absolutely nothing but reboot loop as well. I CAN get the phone into Fastboot mode, but fastboot flash recovery gives me a "failed to get permission" error.
I ran a getvar all, and here is what I have:
unlocked: yes
secure: yes
kernel 1k
bootloader: version-preloader 0.0.00
Version: 0.5
I've tried the SPFT tools again, but it gives me ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL.
ANY clue what I can try next to just get the dang thing to be bootable? I don't care root or recovery or what, I just want a working phone, and I'm running out of ideas.
Thanks!

don't panic. everything is as is should be in your situation.
you see when you did getvar all , it said
secure: yes.
that means it only wants to boot signed and secured partitions. Just get into fastboot and do "oem unlock".
you really cant (safely) relock the bootloader. If your boot loader was relock now, you wold be in a perminent boot loop condition not able to recover.
But you can save it with "oem unlock" from where you at now.

You rock. I thought since it said unlocked I didn't need to do it again, but that did the trick. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the phone. I wouldn't mind keeping root, but I want the B12 update.

The dirtycow thing was only needed to get to the unlocked point. He is already there, so his only issue should be the lack of sp flash tool. Until/ if he does the bootloader rollback.
Shouldn't be problem with the modded v7 to roll back either.
Because in order to install the modded version , you need to be unlocked and twrp anyway, right.?

I presume he flashed factory original 6.1 from Colton's site.
I thought flashing original rom with SPFT should result in safely relocked bootloader, why not?
What if he relocked bootloader with 'fastboot oem relock' command after flashing 6.1 but before taking 7.4.2 OTA update? This would also leave him with:
unlocked: yes
secure: yes?
There must be some way to bring phone to original factory state with bootloader locked (meaning unlocked: no secure: yes).
BLU support also cannot do this?

There is and I did it few times while testing my unlock script. Bit the chances of making a brick were so very high I cannot recommend doing it.
There are two other partitions that store the unlock state and they need to restored to really relock bootloader.
OEM relock does not work properly

Can you tell what steps you did to relock?
I really want to bring device to original factory state because encryption does not work when bootloader is unlocked. I did first dirty cow method on original 6.6 ROM (one with newer preloader), then rolled back booloader, installed 6.1 from ColtonDRG site with SPFT and finally installed vampireinfo's 7.4.2 thru TWRP.
However when I encrypted phone, in settings it says encrypted but I can browse device on PC without entering PIN.
On factory state encrypted device (with locked bootloader) I was not able to this

This will brick your phone, if you are not careful, and also if you are carefull. You can browse for help in encryption with unlocked bootloader before doing this, I'm sure there is a solution.
If you replace Seccfg.bin and Secro.bin from a backup from before unlocking bootloader you should be set to locked but I do not know of your phone will boot. You will be doing g that at your own risk.
But if you download the repair solution under the hidden tag(click to show content) in the roll back thread.
In that file it will restore you to 6.1 and it will be locked bootloader. I do not know about keeping v7 and relocked

Cannot Unlock Bootloader: Unlock Data unavailable

Everytime I use command : fastboot oem get_unlock_data, I get error message Unlock Data Unavailable.

Also, I have been gone through Motorola forms and google but got no solution.

Check it device drivers

Well I know it's quite late to reply, but after trying too many times I just wasn't able to unlock bootloader. Moto forums are totally ineffective. I waited for weeks for their answer and when they answer it doesn't help anyway. After a lot of research, one common theme comes out that this problem arises if your phone has been to servicing for any reason. Some one out there was saying that the problem is related to some jTag issue, it can be fixed if you have the hardware setup for jTag. But since I didnt have the h/w setup, so solution is not verified. So if someone is too keen to find the solution, he may look into it or otherwise switch to a new device as it would be easy and less painful.

Downgrade method still works after August patch

hey guys, been a painful 3 days lol( busy looking for a nokia 5 stock rom instead of a nb0 rom lmao!!).
The method works am now on 7. so guys go right ahead and downgrade if you wanna do it.
P.s 1. search for nbo and not stock rom
2. When the setting up comes what you need to do is click setup with no network. this way you will prevent the system from taking you straight to updates!.
Next step root and enjoy?

Please provide the link of nb0 ROM for Nokia 5 ta -1053

its also safe to downgrade Nokia ta-1024 from pie to nougat with nost bootloader will still be unlocker .

I've been out from Android Modding and Development for quite some time and I'm a little bit lost at the moment.
Where do you guys find the nb0 files and how do you select them for your devices?
I'm looking for a source for several Nokia devices; but most specific for the TA-1024
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Regarding that error, before you flash any room you should always clean Dalvik cache, Cache and Wipe user data. That prevents errors, and duplicate data or applications.
I couldn't find "unlock easy" to see if I can manage do unlock the bootloader. Is this a tool that can be found on the forum?
As far as I know without bootloader unlocked you're not able to flash anything, including recovery.
Fastboot will refuse any flashing options.

That's wierd. My 1024 was piece of cake to root. I think you right that the carrier modél is a lot different to unlocked variant
