Hello, i am just trying to clarify whether or not using ADB restore will affect my root.
I am using the Moto x 4.4, just rooted, and i have a backup made with adb when the phone was unrooted.
Thx for any info!

My Moto X is rooted, but other than that, it's pretty much stock. I'm aware of how to flash back to stock using RSD Lite and Jcase's new root method, but my question is: Do I have to do all of that?
Can't I simply use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot and then take the 4.4 OTA? I am not running a custom recovery.
Has anyone tried this?

Try and guarantee it will result in bootloops, obviously you are using one of jcases root methods which hijacks the stock recovery
Unfortunately there is no easy way around it afraik.
Just rsdlite back to stock, except the ota and root with jcases new slapmymoto.

I forgot about the bootloader. I thought part of the root process was restoring it. What a shame. Thanks!

Hi
I have a moto x with the bootloader unlocked and stock kernel with TWRP. Everything else is stock android 4.4 from T-Mobile.
I followed this thread to root the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536200 "[HOW-TO][DEV EDITION ONLY]Root on 4.4 KitKat"
Everything went fine and I had root acces. I installed xposed framework and some moddueles without problem and cerberus but when I tried to install greenify I noticed I couldn't give it root permissions. I checked super su's app and everything seemed normal so I downloaded Root Checker to confirm I'm rooted but it says I'm not.
Knowing that I lost root (can't figure out why) I went to super su app and selected to unroot the device. Then I booted into recovery and flashed again the root zip but when checking again if I have root privileges with root checker, it still says no.
Now I can't get root again. I'd like to avoid using fastboot because I'm using linux (I'm a noob with bootloaders and fastboot because I got spoiled by Samsung).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
I forgot to mention that I did a backup before I rooted the device the first time in case that helps.
Nevermind. I fixed it.
I have a Verizon Moto X non-developer edition on Android 4.4 that I rooted using SlapMyMoto 0.5c. It will loose root rights (e.g. can't run Titanium Backup) periodically. I get root again with a reboot but that is annoying.
I know that SlapMyMoto 1.0 is now available. Will running the whole SlapMyMoto process with the 1.0 files fix this? Is there a simpler way to keep root rights?
It should not lose root randomly sounds like something is wrong I would return to the 4.22 camera update and reroot your device and see if that fixes your issue

Hey guys,
So i was interested in installing a custom rom im my moto x and started by trying to root it.
Every thing was going fine, but after i placed the unlock code via CMD, i've got an error during the root process and my phone just died. Now all that i've got is a black screen, no matter if I try to hard reset or anything.
Any idea?
tl;dr my phone just died in the root process, wtf can i do?
Unlock code? Root process?
Which model do you have? Which version of Android was it on? What exactly were you doing or using to root or unlock?
Which model you have used ?
I have a x1058, it was on android 4.4.2 and was using a tutorial from a brazilian guy, wich involved downloading adb and fastboot scripts and run them trough cmd.
You will need to be far more specific in what commands you did, if any...and the specific errors.
Only way we'll know what's happened.
It may be of some help if you post the tutorial you followed and say exactly at what step things went wrong.

The XT1058 has a locked bootloader, so I hope that tutorial didn't have you try to downgrade your ROM in order to use SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo to root and disable write protection.
SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto/etc, used on 4.4 and lower, involved downgrading the rom to use an exploit in 4.2.2 to gain root. But with 4.4.2 you can't downgrade the rom safely, without risk of bricking your phone anymore. Additionally, 4.4.2 closed the exploits used by SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto to gain root, and the exploit used by MotoWpNoMo to disable write protection.
As others have suggested, post a link to the turtorial, and any error messages you saw while running the scripts.
Also, try booting into bootloader/fastboot mode. Can you get there? What version bootloader does it say you are on? I believe 30.B4 is 4.4.2 and 30.71 is 4.4 and 4.2.2 w/camera fix. If you have 30.B4, then your only fix might be using RSDLite to flash the 4.4.2 SBF for your carrier, or mFastboot to individually flash all parts of 4.4.2 on your phone, and then forget about rooting unless Moto's web site gives out the bootloader unlock code for your phone.
Hello all,
I just unlocked my bl. On my xt1058, and currently have Safestrap installed when I installed 4.4.2.
I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.4, and root again. My question is, can I simply uninstall Safestrap, then install TWRP recovery? What are the steps to install 4.4.4, then root again.
I tried finding the steps for this, but I was unable to. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
ok...so I uninstalled Safestrap, and installed TWRP v2.8.0.1
I guess what I'd like to do now, is return to stock (currently running rooted 4.4.2) then take the OTA, then root afterwards.
Where can I find the instructions to do this?
Thanks!

This should really be in Q&A
Here is some info, if you didn't already find it:

Thanks for the link! I'm now on 4.4.4 with root.
Looking at other ROMs to flash now.
