Next Soak - Moto X Q&A

OK so what do we do to keep root and/or restore to stock to prep for the new Soak?

New soak?

Verizon users got a soak test invite today. I wonder if it will be the same as taking the last OTA.

What last ota? I was hoping it was 4.4 lol

Soak Test Q4

Just got an email for a Q4 soak test. Thinking we may have an official JB release soon.
Yes I'm reverting back to Stock ICS

When. Can we expect exact date of update
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
Usually about two weeks for official release.
Soak should be out in the next couple days.
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Motorola told me that the estimate would be up to 5-7 days because of thanksgiving
How would this soak test version be different than the leaked version?
How would we update to the soak test version?
will there be a special update for people who install the soak test version to go to the official jb release?

Well I found that leak a long time ago so I am expecting a lot smoother, faster, more stable rom. Remember you need to be signed up for the soak test to get it.
Also hopefully more like the Razr Rom lol. There ROM is much "slicker" than what our is.

No. Unless there is a major problem with the ROM, it will be the official release.

We won't know that until it is released, but if the leak is any judge of what is coming I would guess 4.1.1.

A friend at moto saw a test version of 4.1.2 so that might be the final release
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Just Google mb886_4.1.1.json from there you will see Google code site click on it it seems like 4.1.1 and gives version number look in mb886_4.1.1.json. that site has more than just the atrix HD on there. The site does not provide any files you can use on the phone other than a text editor
Edited because forum moderator wanted me to remove the link.

It's a great source to have, and if Moto sees the link publicly posted as information they will in no doubt remove the source. Not smart to post it publicly and ruin it for everyone.

Anyone who's unlocked and rooted but STOCK try installing yet? I'm hoping that goes smoothly... it used to with the S3, although you'd lose root, but if it can be easily re-rooted as reported here than that's no biggie.
I tried but I tried with a custom recovery and it fails. Shabbypenguin knows the exact way.

Are you rooted with M1 build? I didn't get the update as well so I flashed mine back to M9 build and I get the update right away.
I am on the m1 build and do you have root now that you have the update?

No. I don't have root anymore. The reason I rooted was to do sim unlock. After went back to M9 and got new update, mine is still sim unlocked. So, all is good for me.
I'm downloading m9 as I type! I will upgrade and root using Dg's method then hopefully ota will come

You need to download root DE LA Vega Ml9 package and flash it just like you flashed ml1 then make sure you install Supersu pro and check survival mode and uncheck enable superuser then reboot now you will be okay to take the ota!

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

To answer your question no it won't work because twrp won't backup the aboot. Do you will still be on the 4.2 aboot which equals bootloop... which is why the app linked above me won't work on KK.
By the way in the future questions go in q and a. Only things you've developed go on development. I went ahead and asked to get this moved for you already.
