So, this morning I completely messed up my phone, no ROM to flash, etc etc
I managed to get it back to stock 4.1.2 (Mexico Retail) with RSD Lite.
It might be a noob question but, after flashing back onto a Stock ROM do you have to unlock the bootloader again?
Edit: Remove/Lock thread, I went ahead and unlocked bootloader using Myth Tools and all is well.
Once your unlocked your unlocked man.

I was on verizon galaxy nexus for over two years. I wanted better radio performance, so i got a moto x. Nexus bootloader was unlocked and I was a bit of a crackflasher.
I have unlocked bootloader on moto x and installed twrp and supersu.
I did all this before taking firmware update, so I can see how it runs on 4.2.2. I ran it awhile and wanted to try kk out. I downloaded the ota update and went to have it autoflash, but instead, it rebooted into twrp.
so, I have downloaded rsdlite (i used to have a droid x, so i am familiar) and will get the 4.4.2 firmware downloaded too.
Q: can i flash aosp 4.4.2 roms with my x in it's 4.2.2 state or do i need the 4.4.2 update first?
Q: are there standalone radio (baseband) files around I can download and flash in recovery?
Thx!
RSDLite when you have an unlocked bootloader?
Grab the 4.4.2 sbf, extract the individual imgs, then flash with fastboot.
You will find the moto x is no nexus I'm afraid. Not a flashaholics phone for sure. There's just a few ROMs....not a lot of mods, and whatever you do, once on 4.4.2....never downgrade. It can cost you your phone. Dev edition or not.
Just a heads up!!
BTW....not knocking it....I still recommend it to everyone I know!!! Except the couple rooting and tinkering types....then I recommend the N5 hands down.
update : upgraded to kk firmware with rsdlite. bootloader still unlocked. I am on Eclipse now and enjoying it.

I moved from a galaxy nexus last fall to the X. I definitely flashed constantly... now with an unlocked bootloader (MotoMaker!) I don't have the need. Xposed is all you really need to get features you want, unless you just like to tinker.
I have a VZW unlocked BL Dev Edition
I used Kryptonites VZW stock rooted 4.4.4 upgrade followed upgrade directions for the rom/kernal/baseband to the T for unlocked users and I keep getting this Force close.
Im thinking..... try RSD Lite do a Factory flash and then go back over it with Kryptonites Rooted version, what do y'all think>

This is probably due to your being on a pre-4.4.4 bootloader and/or partition table.
If you find the stock 4.4.4 SBF/FXZ, and flash only motoboot.img and gpt.bin (both using mfastboot), the FC will likely disappear.
OR, yes, you could follow your own advice flashing the FULL 4.4.4 SBF w/RSD Lite, and then subsequently re-installing Kryptonite's ROM if you want to afterwards.
Let us know...
yeah i think im just going to FXZ
Hey, guys.
I have a Moto X Brazil Retail version.
I unlocked the bootloader, but never installed a custom recovery or rom, I was just curious.
Today, I flashed kitkat 4.4.2 and everything was going fine until I received the notification to update to version to 4.4.3.
After installing the 4.4.3 update, the moto x would just boot up to the flashboot screen, with LOCKED bootloader T_T.
I can't hard reset using any means I know. Can you help me?
Thanks.

what do u mean that u have unlocked the bootloader and now u have bl locked??
from fastboot choose Factory once and then if u get another time fastmode choose another time Factory.
if doesn t work boot into recovery and wipe cache.
He obviously downgraded. He had to have been on 4.4.3 (or higher), unlocked, flashed a custom ROM, decided to go back to stock, and flashed 4.4.2. (downgrade)
That pretty much sum it up?
Everybody PLEASE READ the warnings that downgrade = brick....
Hi all,
I know it's a known issue on Android. But my question is another.
I've a Moto Maxx from Brasil with locked bootloader. Is there anyway for me to maybe downgrade and afterwars upgrade again ?
I don't know if this can help with my problem, but maybe worth the risk. My battery is not lasting one day with normal use.
There's a way, but you need to unlock the bootloader.
You'll be re-flashing all of Kitkat EXCEPT for gpt.bin. (That part cannot be downgraded.) You will then have KitKat back. You can also then upgrade back to Lollipop.
But if you mess up the flash, you can brick your phone if the bootloader is not unlocked.
IF your bootloader is UNLOCKED, then you just go back into recovery and re-flash again. Everything can be fixed if your bootloader is unlocked. If you try flashing with a locked bootloader, it's much harder to fix mistakes, if they can be fixed at all.
Go here and read. Be sure to thank @Jaocagomez for writing the tutorial...

Hi all, I need help.
I have an XT1053 developer edition, gsm. In the past I've unlocked bootloader just to use Xposed on Kitkat, I've never flashed custom roms. Only once an XT1052 stock rom to have italian as language, but since it had a bad radio behaviour I went back to XT1053 stock rom. I've had root but not for long. I have tried also to re-lock the bootloader, but I was never successful since (FAIL: Please run fastboot oem lock begin first!)
With the 5.1 OTA, now I have the right build but with VZW written at the end. In the boot animation, I have the Verizon logo. Thanks to Mark of Motorola Forum Manager, I've had the stock XT1053 5.1 DE software to flash through fastboot, but even if the procedure is successful I cannot get rid of the VERIZON thing. I would like to use RSD Lite but I can't since it doesn't recognize the phone as connected, even if Motorola Device Manager does recognize it and the drivers are installed.
How can I do? Is there a way to really clean completely the phone and install the right software more "deeply"?
Any help will be much appreciate.
Thanks,
Luca
