Will this work with the soak? Also doesn't really address the issue since the soak will require all the native apps and such to be present.

IF all you care about is the new OTA, and you DONT wish to keep root access, which the new OTA prevents then just Flash the stock firmware file with RSD LITE per the thread. If you however want to RETAIN root, and be on the new OTA update, then follow that link, which will allow the OTA to be applied to your phone, while you keep root access.
Yes but does this apply to soak....

Whats the difference? Is the soak test still not an OTA just pushed out to a select few?
Well don't you need to have all the stock apps intact?

I have a Sprint Moto X that was rooted with PwnMyMoto.
I have been getting notified of an OTA update, but don't want to accept it in case I would lose root.
Is there a way to disable the update notifications?
Does anybody know how to keep root after the OTA?
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk 4
There are a couple threads on how to keep root after an ota.
But that being said I am also looking to remove the update apk.
Does anyone know which one it is?
3c_ota.apk?

freeze update, Motorola OTA, and FOTA and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak in \etc\security i think is the location

Thank you good sir.
wish there was an app to do this for us, I am tired of having to go through a million steps, I would rather pay for this to get done so I can preserve my root with no worries until further development

Does motorola connect still work when these are stopped? I mainly ask because with droidwall MotoOTA is grouped in with the MotoConnect services. I'm thinking I want to use MotoConnect but I don't really care for or want updates.

MotorolaOTA does not allow to be frozen on 4.4.3
if there was another small oled phone this one would be on the garbage already...
worst software. manages to be more annoying than Samsung.

I used Titanium backup to uninstall the OTA updates, find it under "Motorola Update Services 24.00.007" and simply uninstall it. Or you could use the app FlashFIre

Discussed here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/-t2710834
Step 11 tells you to downgrade the Bootloader (MOTOBOOT.IMG) and GPT.BIN which is part of the security stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those the main components involved with bricking when trying to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4 and lower?
And you'd still have Write Protection Enabled if you have a locked bootloader (so changes will be lost when you power off/on)
EDIT: And step 15 of that web page points you to the SlapMyMoto thread here on XDA... and we know that SlapMyMoto doesn't work on 4.4.2.

There is an aio utility in the original dev section.

Yes, rooted 4.4, and use safestrap for 4.4.2 is about the only option if you can't unlock your bootloader.

If you are gonna use OTA update, your system must be unmodified : not rooted, not changing any system file (including boot logo), and using stock recovery.

. Open the root file explorer and go to the /system folder.
3. Open the file named build.prop in text editor
4. In the build.prop file look for ro.config.tima=1 change the 1 to 0 and save changes
The regular shealth app will work after that

If it is the snapdragon version you can't it is root with no updates or stock with updates. To uproot just flash stock firmware with oden warning that will wipe your phone and it will be like when you got the phone

If you have Exynos and want stock firmware/updates, then just flash the latest stock firmware using Odin.
If on the other hand you are rooted and want to stay that way, then just make the build.prop change for s-health and enjoy. You can't get ota updates while rooted, but you could flash new updates through Odin and then re-root, etc. (but make backups first).

Can I not root and then make build.prop change for s-health and then unroot via the unroot option in SuperSU app ?

Well until some one finds a way to reset knox , i believe no other way to update OTA on rooted device. Flashing Stockrom will solved OTA problem but S Health will remain unable to Opens.
If you wants to unroot, just choose full unroot from superuser manager app after editing the build.prop (still No OTA update though)
I Hopes it helps
