I have an AT&T model. I rooted using PwnMyMoto, and followed the steps outlined on another thread to Protect root when doing the OTA. But now when go to the play store and try to update the Motorola Camera app it shows as not compatible. The app on the play store is version 3.1.5 whereas on my device it shows the camera app version as 3.0.211.
Anyone else have this problem?

i believe the thread you are talking about didn't actually finish taking the full ota. it fails at a certain point and doesn't touch any of the BL. you may need to flash the new baseband as well. What you should really do is just flash back to original stock fw (you should be able to still since the BL wasn't touched). then either take the ota and root with rockmymoto or install pwnmymoto without running it. take the ota. then pwnmymoto will automatically run after the ota and install root. if it doesn't then you will have to root with rockmymoto after that.
Ok. Figured doing that would take care of it. Thanks!

From what I have seen it can be rather difficult to take the 4.4.2 update. I am rooted using the methods from jcase and am currently on 4.4 with the correct bootloaders for the update. I have been using xposed and I know I need to flash the xposed disable zip file, but how do I do that without having TWRP or CWM? I think I have done everything else needed to get take the update (removed superuser app and turned off all root permissions.)is there anything else that needs to be done besides disable xposed?
Hi Guys,
My company uses Good For Enterprise for email, which requires a phone to not be rooted. Well I was using Xposed and Rootcloak to hide root, but it appears an update patched that exploit. So I flashed the SBF for 4.4.2 and have Good running. Well I wanted to be able to use TWRP to go back to my rooted backups, but once I push TWRP to my device, my STOCK unrooted fresh SBF'ed received a "SuperSU Installer" in my apps and also a persistent notification wanting me to install SuperSU through Google Play or TWRP. Good then failed the Root check and locked me out. So I thought I could push the stock recovery back and it would go away, but nope, no dice. Any ideas? FWIW I'm running a DE Moto X from Verizon, unlocked bootloader on 4.4.2 system and bootloader.

Seems you did everything right BUT when TWRP ask if you wanna install root or superuser.. forget which it says. Just say no. Then you should be root free. Hope that helps!

Thanks, but when I was in TWRP recovery it did ask me to root, and I said no; but it still had the "SuperSU Installer" in the app drawer, and couldn't be removed.

hmm, well if you say you came from stock, flashed TWRP and SU installed itself. than maybe just removing root would work. There's a guide for that, probably in the general thread. also, I read that there is a way to load multiple ROMs that's stickied in one of the threads. That could be exactly what you need!!
Don't remember which thread so you have to find it.
Hi, I need to downgrade from kitkat to gingerbread in order to make Barclays pingit work. I tried many things but the damn app to my disgust won't work on rooted phones. Is it just a matter of using ODIN? And which gingerbread ROM should I use? Can you please send me some links thanks! :crying:
Have you tried temporary unrooting from the superSU/Superuser options then installing the app.

Hi, thanks for the reply, when I install SuperSU it tells me I need to update binary SU by doing a manual Re-root? What does it mean?
Just flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/370/Sup...erSU-v1.80.zip download link is at bottom of page.
EDIT: here's the latest update at bottom of page http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Thank you, I flashed it, went to SuperSu, did the full un-root, it worked as the app disappeared but the damn Barclays app still finds the root and wont work...is there any other way around it? Or downgrading...
Found this but you need to install the 'Xposed Framework'' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577095
Thanks but I've already downgraded to stock rom, did what I had to do with Barclays Pingit and re upgraded to kitkat again...now I won't be doing this crap anymore, I will just buy a cheap 2nd hand mob, install the almighty Barclays apps and use that when needed...easy...:cyclops:
Yeah probably a better idea until the almighty Barclays app gets an update so customers can use it on rooted phone, but tbh i can't see that happening anytime soon.

You could install xposed and use root cloak. Apps that don't work if you have root are just stupid.
I have had my Moto X (2014) Pure Edition for about two weeks now and am loving it! I am coming from a Nexus 5.
I have a question about a message I received after I unlocked the bootloader and have rooted the phone. Before I did any of this, I did, as prompted, update the Motorola Sensor Services.
After a smooth bootloader unlock and root, however, I now have a message, about "Complete Uninstall" and reverting the Sensor Services firmware. I am continuing to install all of the Moto app updates and getting the phone back to where it was.
What should I do? Should I revert the services back? Or as some has said on other forums, if you reboot, it should disappear?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Matthew
A restart did not make the message go away.
I got it too after rooting I uninstalled the update and few minutes later it prompted me for the update install it without losing root
For clarification

Just to clarify. You are saying uninstall the services like it asks and then I'll be reprompted to install it, and then I should install it?
I installed the update before I unlocked and rooted once I unlocked and rooted phone I was prompted to uninstall the update so I did after a reboot I was prompted to install update I install it with root and exposed I though it would fail but it didn't and I retained root that's my experience short answer its worth a try
Fixed
As soon as the phone downloaded the newest motorola sensors by itself while restoring itself the uninstall notification went away. I think it's fixed! Thanks!
Just in case it helps anyone. I did what the notification said and revert the sensor firmware. And after the reboot, I updated all moto aps and another notification with an update for the sensors firmware appeared. So... nothing happened at the end. But also, it doesn't matter if you revert the firmware because the update is going to appear later again.
So this morning I got this maintenance update and now I'm being told that an update is available and that this install is differed. When I click on "select to continue update" I'm told my system is up to date. I've already wiped cache, which did not help. Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you unlocked and rooted?
Nope, totally stock Verizon 4.4.4. I'm so far out of the loop, I didn't even know I could unlock and root in the first place.
Anyone have a fxz for this update? I have it too, but I am rooted with twrp.

There does not appear to be an FXZ for this.
You can try flashing stock Recovery.img onto your phone and take it. Unlike other OTA's that failed due to Xposed, this one did not give me any issues installing with Xposed still enabled.
NOTE: I'm unlocked bootloader, rooted, running TWRP, with Xposed instaled (MotoXNetActivity module installed). I haven't made any other modifications. I only run apps that require root like AdFree, wifi tether for root, Root Explorer, etc.

Thanks, I think this answered my questions in the other thread.
Is there a risk to try running the update with stock recovery and other Xposed modules like Gravity Box? Would they fail similarly to a failed system check like I've had in the past for removing/renaming system apps and such?
