Pardon my stupidity if this has already been asked, but I couldnt find any info on it.
SIM unlocked and rooted my AT&T Moto X and am running it on my local carrier. Have 4.2 installed with SS. I just got the OTA notification for 4.4 (i assume from AT&T). Is this normal?
Also, if I were to take the OTA, it would break root of course, but could I just use slapmymoto to root it? Also, since I have never done OTAs, are there any disadvantages to it?
TIA
Don't bother taking the ota...the first step of slap my Moto is returning to stock 4.2.2!

Hi everyone,
I'm on 4.2.2 Camera OTA, and I know I can root. I also want to try out KitKat, but how can I move between the three options?
For example:
I like stock. I think I will root, but I may want to try KitKat too. And once on KitKat, I will probably want to go back to 4.2.2 stock, or maybe rooted.
How do I upgrade while rooted, or downgrade from KitKat?
Any help would be great, I hard bricked my last Moto X while trying to get back to 4.2.2 stock..
Why would you want to be on 4.2.2? 4.4 is official.... It is stock. And it is basically better in every way

Not sure if I like the new white theme and some other stuff..and rooting is much easier on 4.2.2!
Just want to be able to move between them easily..
Rooting the AT&T Galaxy Note 3. I assume there isn't a way to root this device with stock OTA 4.4.2? Considering I haven't been able to find anything on it, I assume I am correct on this.
Am I also correct that the only way to root and have a custom ROM will be to root from MJ5 and flash a 4.4 ROM that way? I am interested in running SlimROM.
Thanks.
That's correct

I flashed [ROM]D95920h D-FUSE Stock rooted KK onto my lg-d950at. If anyone has a cwm or twrp backup of the stock at&t firmware ill greatly appreciate it so i can restore it back to the right rom. I have no signal and it says my service is disabled that is why i wish to revert back everything else seems to be working fine.

Uploading now. 100% stock as so you'll have to root and do recovery again
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
any chance you could post a link to that .zip, I think that this would help a lot of us dimwits that didn't listen to your original precautions and flashed our AT&T phones
Any word on a link to that zip? I could use it too.

HI does anybody know of a safe rooting method for the TMo. LG G FLEX 4.4.2 since the D959m20 update? I looked all over and can't find anything that says it will specifically work with D959m20. If anyone know about this please let me know,
Thanks a lot.

Does your download mode still work? I have two of these phones and since using towelroot I can't seem to get to download mode.
Hi.
I ****ed up. I tried to restore my Moto X to factory defaults following the instructions found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657) and everything went wrong. My phone was soft bricked. I managed to save it using the windroid tool (flashed recovery, in recovery flashed CM12) but when I booted I couldn't enable wifi and my sim card wasn't being detected.
I don't know what to do. I'm in over my head. I need help. I tried reflashing the rom, but that didn't work. I might suck at searching but I couldn't find anything that worked in the forum. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Why are you following a guide for the moto G? What phone model do you have? If you're flashing moto G images that certainly won't work. If you have the PE then flash the images off the moto web page. The 5.0 images are posted so you shouldn't have issues with downgrading. If you have another model there are guides and images in this, the moto x, forum for that.

Thanks for the reply.
I found the guide in the faq stickied in the help forum. Guess I wasn't thinking. Do you thinking following a different guide will solve my problem?

There are a bunch. Is the bootloader unlocked? What country? What version were you on before you flashed CM? You need to find the images for your particular device.

You can convert your phone to a PE if you want. If not just use his instructions and flash your version you found on the previous link. Then you can flash back to CM.
