Hi all!
I just got an att moto x of Craigslist.
I'm planning on rooting it.
It hasn't been updated to 4.4 yet.... Is there a problem accepting the update if I want to root /unlock?

JCase has rooted 4.4 but don't take the update yet go to rootzwiki and his tutorial on how to do it is there. You start with 4.2.2.

Hello
I'm getting a prompt update for my Nexus one named (Android Update part 1 of 2) the details only saying that it's first of two-parts system update which is required to prepare the device for android software update.
My nexus one is rooted, running FRG83, so my question is.. should I install this update, or will it make me lose the root ??
Thanks
The general rule is that any OTA update is going to be non-rooted, and depending on your root procedure, that could be a problem.
That could be that your in luck and be one of the first few hundreds to have gingerbread

It's for frg83d. I'm sure it kills your your root

Pretty much what the title says. If your rooted how do you install the update?

I just ordered a Moto X Verizon, and I will be rooting it and flashing Eclipse rom onto it. Is there any reason not to take all the OTA updates from Verizon, and then root and do safestrap or? Not sure how it works. I
Thank you
Go read Jcase "slap my moto" thread in original development and after your done....read it again. The many posts in that thread have the answers your looking for pertaining to OTAs and what goes along with rooting the moto x on 4.4

No custom rom for you then unless you install SafeStrap.
Yea I know I'd have to use safestrap. But is the latest OTA root able and safestrapable? Just wanted to be sure before I take the ota update from Verizon

Safestrap is not KK compatible yet AFAIK.
And yes it is rootable. Good amount of work though.

there is no know root explot for 4.4.. u have to root on 4.2.2.
on that note, I have used jcase's RockMyMoto to root mine and I get threw everything having root access and try to install the 4.4 OTA update and it keeps rebooting.. won't stop (on 5th time now?) ideas?
Curious if anyone has been updated from Verizon yet. I want to use stock instead of a ROM but really like KitKat.

Verizon won't release the update until they find a way to make it laser etch the Verizon logo onto your forehead via the front camera. Welcome to Verizon. Land of those who are updated last. I got fed up with Verizon (not just bc of update history) and switched to att. Cheaper and I get better reception at my place.
So in summation:
VZW 4.4.2 perks include:
Laser etching of the Verizon logo onto your forehead whether you want it or not
Device will self apply 76 more Verizon logos onto itself bc all of the things love Verizon
9 GB of bloat (Verizon exclusive!! You're welcome)

At&t isn't much better on updates. Note 3 still MIA, but Sprint version has it.
I predicted early summer for G2 kit Kat on Verizon. I'm sticking with that prediction.

Ha, not that I am any more excited about always being last in the update line, but that does force us into the position of getting to watch and see if everyone else has issues with kk on their versions of the phone
i know what they mean im switching to the nexus5 in a month keeping the g2 want to install custom rom but am afraid freegee might brick my phone on 12b and dont know how to install it through adb on 12b has anyone installed twrp through freegee recently maybe in the past day or so
Ive used freegee a few times to install twrp, its actually the only way i can get it installed on my g2. But here last week i rooted my g2 again, i go back and forth between unrooted and rooted. And i used freegee again to install twrp 2.6.3.3 and then went into recovery and updated to 2.7 and everything has been great.
Freege won't brick it, I used it in 12b no problem

Just flash the rom using twrp. And then learn to punctuate. (Sorry, pet peeve.)
Not yet.

Hey guys. I just got this mobile (verizon) a week ago. Its not a Dev edition.
It keeps prompting me to update to lollipop but I wanted to unlock its bootloader first. Since everyone has been telling me that its impossible, should I wait in case a procedure comes up or should I update it to lollipop?
Yes.
What firmware version are you on now? Anything below 4.4.4 can be unlocked.

If you're talking about system version its 212.166.4. But its currently at 4.4.4
