I'm having significantly worse battery life on 4.4 than I was before I took the OTA. I have r/w but the bootloader is locked. Is there a way to downgrade? I'm not worried about apps/data so if I have to wipe it that's fine.

Yes however it will leave the tamper flag and if you used the dev site it will still be logged.

I know this is an older post but I've been unable to find the instructions for re-locking the bootloader. Any help would be appreciated.
I had the electrify m, the RAZR m for us cellular, and I unlocked it through Motorola. I was giving it to someone else and wanted to relock it and never found any instructions to do so. I contacted Motorola and they said once it was unlocked the was no way to relock. I would guess it's the same with the moto x.

It does. Fastboot OEM lock. Just go back to signed software before, m Kay ? Else you won't boot

Has anyone tried re-locking a non-dev Moto X? If so, does it get rid of the "bootloader unlocked, warranty void" message that you get every time u boot ur phone?

Makes no difference, even when you flash the sbf firmware the logo warning still pops up, so you're best just flashing a new logo.bin file . you'll find them in the themes section, fastboot flash logo (name).bin and your done. If you need to rsdlite at any time in the future, just remove the line flash logo bin from the XML file

Yes. That (minus userdata removal) is what RSD Lite does. I tried with fastboot and mfastboot as well.

Weird. So is ur phone bricked now or it just did not lock?
I'm currently rooted with 4.4 using the slapmymoto method. I'm ready to void my warranty by unlocking my bootloader via Motorola. Is it recommended to unlock the bootloader the way the phone is set up now, or should I go back to factory 4.4 and then unlock the bootloader? I'm just trying to make sure I don't brick my phone.
Thanks

Doesn't matter how you do it. It will work fine.
Just know that unlocking the bootloader will WIPE YOUR DATA. That means everything that was stored on your SD card is not gone.

Humm.... Not really sure. I thought it loaded a modified version of the stock recovery, but with write protection disabled. If this is the case, then it will still wipe your data.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in. I have not used slapmymoto since I unlocked my bootloader.
SlapMyMoto 1.0 does not touch the recovery. Your recovery is completely stock. MotoWPNoMo disables write protection for the system. I unlocked my bootloader while rooted via SlapMyMoto and retained root so I did not have to flash a custom recovery to gain root. However, there is nothing wrong with playing it safe and flashing back to stock and then you unlocking your bootloader.

Once you unlock your bootloader write protection is disabled.

You can if you want to play it safe, but if you are already rooted with SlapMyMoto then you really don't have to. The only issues you may run into is if you modified the system and there is an ota update.

The Bootloader unlocked, is to use Custom rom, if you block it, the root and rom stock, will continue.

Yes you will lose root. I do not know if it locks the boot loader but if it is unlocked I do not think it would lock. Why are you factory resetting, just out of curiosity?

Alrighty. It may be better if you wipe the phone and then flash the modified stock ROM because it is debloated and you will already have root.

My apologies. I just checked and saw that it was only for the D415. Isn't the only difference between the D405n and the D405 was NFC so couldn't it work?

I want to unlock my phone so if and when I root it I won't wipe all my data. Can i unlock the phone, root at a later time and get OTA updates in the interim. I hope this question is not too stupid.

Your question is not stupid. Yes, you can unlock your boot loader and OTA updates will still install.
you will lose root after OTA

OTA`s can only be installed on a non-modified system, rooting will prevent the OTA to be installed as the system is modified. An unlocked bootloader is no problem. Once you unlocked the BL you can flash the image or OTA yourself in recovery/sideload.

It won't install. Rooting changes system files. It will fail the check and abort the ota

Unlocking bootloader is not a problem. Locked bootloader is like a locked door of a house and consider root as the person who is supposed to enter to the house but if you open the door and the person doesn't enter into the house then it's not a problem But if there is root, the update will be downloaded but the root will prevent it to get installed Hope it clears your doubts

How does ota work? Is the update something my telephone provider sends? If so if you are using an unlocked phone on a non provider network what happens
Currently UK vodafone N6 but it wasn't locked so I'm using a three network sim.

With a Nexus device or GPE device, all OTA's come direct from Google. With other phones, it's up to the OEM and cell service provider.

Not through sideload no. You can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot, but only if your bootloader is unlocked.

However you can unlock your bootloader with sunshine. After you unlock it, then you can do it.
