Hi all,
I was just wondering about following:
I own a Canadian Version (Rogers) of Moto X. Rogers did not start rolling out KitKat upgrade to Moto X yet. However, there should be OTA upgrade roll-out some time soon. My Moto X is unlocked and I'm using it now on non Rogers network. Question is if my Moto X will receive KitKat OTA if I'm not on the Rogers network? If not how can I upgrade OS without losing all my apps and settings. P.S. phone is not rooted and would like to avoid that if possible.
Thank you all.
So nobody on this forum has any idea about my question?.....

I am rather newbish myself with the MotoX, but I have played around with a few ROMS on my old H0X and I assume the principals are usually the same.
When the stock Rogers OTA becomes available you will be prompted to download the OTA. If you choose to install this, it will most likely lock the bootloader.
Your best bet would be to root your phone, and get a custom recovery program on the phone (personally, I like twrp), and do a backup of the entire phone. This way, you can always revert back to that state afterwards.

It shouldn't matter that you aren't physically on the Rogers network. The Moto X should check back to Moto for the update, not a Rogers server. I also have an unlocked Rogers Moto X that I gave to my wife that is on TELUS.
The said thing is, the clueless Rogers reps who man the customer support Twitter don't even think they have an update. They are blaming Moto on not having sent it to them. Hopefully this is just the standard case of clueless CS...

If you do receive the ota and you are running any sort of custom recovery, do not install it, why? It will result in bootloops and it will not install. You must have an untouched system and running the stock recovery for the ota to flash correctly.
As for your boot loader, that will remain unlocked. Now what i suggest is neglect the ota and install the rogers KitKat sbf firmware zip instead.
I did accept the rogers camera ota and I could not flash twrp recovery afterwards, it some how prevents you from over riding the stock recovery. To get around this I flash the sbf firmware and I have no issue flashing twrp recovery. Yes my boot loader is unlocked

Howdy all, I truly believe I've searched far and long to no avail.
I have a Verizon Moto X, on 4.2.2, rooted by simply downloading (on the phone) and installing PwnMyMoto 1.4.3 for VZW.
I followed a YouTube video titled "How To One Click Root Verizon MotoX [Updated] PwnMyMoto With Write Protection Bypass"
I'd like to update to 4.4. I'm using a Mac, and I've successfully set up ADB/Fastboot in Terminal.
I've seen a few guides, but I'm still not 100% getting it.
Is it relatively easy, being that I'm rooted?
Could any kind soul make my day and please give me simple steps for a lunkhead like myself?
Thanks.
My Republic Wireless Moto X 1st gen is rooted and has Safestrap installed. It's running 4.4.2 and wants to update.
I've searched but there is so much different information on this subject that I'm not sure what to do. Can someone either give me a link that will tell me what to do to update, or what additional info is needed to know what route I need to take?
Thanks
Joe
You'd need to return fully stock to update. And, you will permanently lose root. Unless you use Sunshine to unlock your bootloader..... Before going to 4.4.4 of higher.
Check the "complete moto X guide" in general to return to stock 4.4.2. :good:
Hi, I just bought a US Cellular Moto X 2013 with 4.2.2. I can't seem to upgrade it over the air or on my PC. Anyway, I like 4.4 and thought I might upgrade to just that, if possible. Any thoughts?
Yes, I've done it with a sprint phone, I think I used fastboot method.
Thanks I'm a newbie at this, could you direct me to instructions on the Factbook method?
Is there anyway to gain root privilege without unlocking bootloader...Almost checked every thread and forum...Couldnt find a solution though...... If You guys can help me out with this...I also tried Pwnmymoto apk and it said problem parsing the package
