[Q] Future OTA's

I have a us cellular version Moto X. I unlocked bootloader using motorola website and flashed clockwork mod and SU. When a future OTA comes up do I just accept it, or do i need to do something special.

It won't install if you have a custom recovery. Just wait till someone comes out with a flashable version.

On my Nexus 7 you could create a backup right after unlocking the bootloader and flashing recovery, but before rooting. When the OTA is available, flash back to that backup, then take the OTA. It would flash in TWRP, after flashing it would ask you if you wanted to remove the recovery.sh file......or you could manually remove it via TWRP by mounting system, and removing the file. That file re-flashes stock recovery on boot. You could then reboot, go to play and download SuperSU, then root. Seemed to work pretty well. I am setup and ready to try it that way.

Stock recovery

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the stock recovery for the Sprint Moto X? I have TWRP right now and I want to prepare for the Kit Kat update.
Its my understanding that I will need to fastboot flash the stock recovery to take the update. I don't have much faith that a flashable 4.4 rom will happen anytime soon.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, you could consider visiting -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php See if there is a copy of the ROM your phone is currently on... If so, download it and unzip it.
And since you have TWRP installed, I'm going to say you've unlocked your bootloader, and likely rooted.. That also might impact the install of 4.4. Did you remove any bloat, mess with system files, or freeze any apps with something like Titanium Backup? That too can impact the install of 4.4.

Is the link with the sbf files for consumer devices only? I have a dev edition on its way and thought I read if you flash the non dev sbf you will also install security stuff for non dev edition devices you don't want. Thanks in advance!

I did uninstall some apps, but not much. My plan was to reinstall the factory recovery, then factory reset before accepting the ota.
This being my first Moto device, I'm not really familiar with all this .sbf stuff. Are you saying the stock recovery would be part of it?

There was talk/speculation that when flashing the Dev edition with "non-dev" SDF/FXZ files you'd revert to a "consumer"/Locked device. I am not aware of that being confirmed as 100% true.
When I first got my Dev X, I rooted with RockMyMoto and ran for a week or so before unlocking the bootloader. At the time unlocking the boot loader voided the warranty and I wanted to make sure there were no issues before voiding the warranty. To prep for Kit Kat, I did flash it back using the only 4.2.2 SBF out there, that was for the "consumer" devices. It didn't hurt. I was still able to unlock my boot loader.
At this point, Moto does have the KK dev edition SBFs available for request on their web site if you don't trust using other SBF's. But they do appear to be the same as the "non-dev" sbf files.

Factory reset will not restore any apps you removed from the phone (i.e. if you deleted the APKs).
SBF and FXZ files are firmware files for Moto. RSDLite is the tool to fully flash an SBF or FXZ file.
The thread I linked earlier (said if you are interested... read...) has several options to return to stock, and explains options for using RSDLite to flash a full SBF/FXZ, as well as mfastboot to flash only parts of the ROM file, which will get you back to stock.
Most of the Moto updates perform checks for files, and specific versions of files before installing. If they don't match stock, or files it expects to be there are missing, the OTA wont install, or get the phone stuck in a boot loop.

[Q] Moto X DE Is 4.4.2 worth it?

Moto X DE rooted. VZW native tether hack. Replaced the "warning unlocked bootloader" message. The rest is stock. Is the 4.4.2 update worth it? I don't see anything that appears to be much different from 4.4

I have a Dev X and pretty much in the same boat as you.... Unlocked, Rooted, changed logo.bin, but I'm using Wifi Tether for root app rather than the entitlement apk hack.
I took the OTA when it hit my phone. I can't say that I notice anything really different after the upgrade. No negative impacts at least.
It was easy to take because I was basically stock... just flash stock recovery back on, and take the OTA. Since it sounds like you did the entitlement apk replacement, you'd need to undo that.
I didn't lose root, and write protection stayed disabled (due to unlocked bootloader). So I just had to reflash my custom logo.bin, and I haven't put custom recovery back on, I don't need to right now. Only issue would be, if I do find a bug that wasn't there in 4.4, I can't downgrade now due to the bootloader update.

No, you'll keep root after taking the update. You do not need to reinstall TWRP to have root. Root is root, a recovery is a recovery. If you lost root, you'd need to install a recovery that allows you to install root, but you don't lose root from taking the OTA.

I beg to differ. Root Explore, Greenify, Wifi Tether for Root... all work, as do going into system and renaming files, and downloading/installing the hosts file in AdAway from BigTinCan.com (which survive power off/on, so helps to tell me write protection is still disabled).
On an unlocked bootloader, once you have rooted, you can use whatever recovery you like.
Now, for LOCKED bootloader on the X which are rooted via RockMyMoto or SlapMyMoto without using MotoWPNoMo, you might need to keep that "recovery trick" in place so you can boot with write protect disabled. In that case you would loose the ability to boot with write protect disabled (which makes root useless) when you put stock recovery back on, but that is different and doesn't "unroot" you.

It took me about an hour to do the update because I am a novice and had to do a bunch of stuff first but I did it and my phone is back to its current state...except now I am using the xposed wifi tether instead of the hack (And the xposed one is better). So it was worth it just to have the latest and get rid of that wifi mod that i never liked to begin with. Apparently the upate makes battery life better but my battery life was already awesome considering I came from Gnex. So I guess the question is why not update? If you know what you are doing it shouldnt take 5-10 minutes.

from what people are saying it seems 4.4.2 makes a huge difference for battery life, i don't have it yet on my xt1058 so i can't say for sure...

Yeah I really only root for the tether hack and tibackup. Both of which I've used less and less since I got this phone. I've never had any issues with the phone and battery life is awesome so I'll probably just wait for some more feedback on the update before I go through the hassle of doing it.

How do you get rid of the unlocked bootloader message? Just flashing logo.bin?

See the "edit" section of Post #150 in this thread -> Moto X Boot Logos The post also has info how they were made and a link to a zip that contains a little more than 25 LOGO.BIN files, and matching BMP's so you can see what they look like first (or use to flash clogo if you have never unlocked your bootloader). they do include the 0-3% battery indication too.
I'm using Logo-prettydev2.png.bin included in the zip file.

Moto X Developer Edition only....as this thread title states a DE model.
The OTA doesn't remove ROOT. You need the stock recovery to install the OTA so you have to flash the stock recovery.img back to the phone to install the OTA. Once the OTA is done.....you do NOT need to install TWRP or any other recovery to have root. You never lost root.
All of this is assuming you had previously installed TWRP to root a Moto X Developer Edition (DE) and want the OTA to 4.4.2.

No. Flashing Recovery does NOT erase data. Using RSDLite to flash an entire SBF/XML file (without editing it) will erase data.. or giving the following command via PC with your phone in fastboot mode will erase data... mfastboot erase data

Will my unlock code work after update?

I have the RW version and unlocked with the China man... My question is once I take the OTA will it relock my bootloader?? And if I relock it can I use the same code to unlock it again? And last can I still use the sbf file on this phone or must I manually flash the partitions? Thanks guys

I've been wondering this too. The last phone I had (Google Galaxy Nexus) was unlocked and rooted running CM 10.1 and then CM 11 so it never received the OTA's. But mine and my wife's Moto X Developer Editions are both unlocked and rooted but running stock 4.4.2.
As I understand it we'll still receive OTA's correct? Once we do there is a chance they will lock back up and we'll lose root correct? The reason I say chance is because both phones are setup through Titanium to "attempt" to keep root and I know it doesn't always work.
I'm assuming the bootloader gets relocked? If it does how do we go about unlocking and rooting them again? Will the codes we got from Motorola work or do we need to go through the entire process of unlocking then rooting?
Sorry for the newb questions. Like I said, every phone I ever unlocked and rooted I put custom ROMs on them so I never got the OTA's.

Yeah I've read about it going to relock if I do it.. But can a ota update relock it.. And if it did.. Will my code still work.
Sent from my XT1049 using xda app-developers app

Yes, you can flash using either RSDLite or fastboot/mFastboot
If you do relock your bootloader, yes the same code will work to unlock it later.
And... already said here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51363645&postcount=394
[*]Taking future OTA's will not re-lock your bootloader, however you will need to have stock recovery on your phone, and revert any modified system files, i.e. get back to "stock" or nearly stock, in order to install OTA's, just like those with Developer Edition phones have to do. (this is due to the OTA updates containing a manifest file that lists files and their "check sums" it looks for on your phone before it starts. If they are not on your phone, or the ones on your phone don't match the expected check sum, the OTA install will fail.)
[*]Flashing with RSDLite will not re-lock your bootloader
[*]Only manually re-locking via the relock process (moto has on the Dev Edition web site, it is fastboot oem lock ) will re-lock your bootloader.

So, I'd need to reinstall all the bloatware that came on the phone originally? That's pretty much all I took off the phone was all of Verizon's crap that I'll never use nor have any interest in. The only other thing I did was edit the navigation keys out using the build.prop, but that's easy enough to turn back on. My phone as well as my wife's are stock aside from the removal of the bloatware and taking the nav keys out of my phone.

Thanks kid. I've just read mixed messages about bricking my device from ota updates and sbfs. Thanks again.

When it comes to taking OTA's, yes.
Inside the OTA is a manifest file. It contains a list of files and their check sums it expects to be on your phone. If the files are missing, or the check sum for a particular file doesn't match (because you've replaced or altered the file), the OTA will fall. Because of this, you must be "stock" (or as close to stock as possible). Any bloat you deleted, needs to be put back. Any files you altered (like build.prop) need to be reverted. Any apps you froze with Titanium Backup or the like, may need to be unfrozen.
Apps disabled via the phone's Settings -> Applications -> [select app] -> [disable] can remain disabled and should not impact the update.

Yes, there are some cautions and warnings about bricking... They usually relate to if you've taken 4.4.2 and try to downgrade your rom to 4.4 or lower. Or if you flash only parts of a rom using mFastboot and get into a state when you have "mixed" versions on your phone...
Due to changes in the bootloader included with the 4.4.2 Update, under certain circumstances when trying to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4 or lower, you could either brick your phone, or set it up to brick in the future when you take an upgrade. So it is suggested you just stick with what is on your phone once you get on 4.4.2.

Well damn, I'm kind of screwed then as I deleted all those dumbass Verizon apps that I have no use for and didn't bother making backups of any of them. I'll have to check the "Apps" folder and see if the .apk files are still there so that Google Play can redownload them at some point.
I don't even think the backup I made via TWRP has them. Although I think Motorola's website does have the system image so I can probably just reflash that when the next OTA comes out.

Best way to root latest 5.1 pure edition OTA?

What are people doing to root the newest official 5.1 pure OTA? I saw a couple of threads about root floating around, but cf autoroot seems to have failed for a few people. What are you guys using to root?
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk

Completing this question by adding one more bit that is there any root method which supports easy unrooting like Kitkat days where we don't have to go through hassles and risks of flashing whole stock ROM again?

I rooted 5.1 by booting twrp and flashing latest supersu. I haven't tried yet to full unroot but it should work.

Via fastboot. I just unrooted my device,although bootloader says "Software status : Modified" so i don't think it's safe to OTA update.

Be careful with this method though. Cause as of now there is no full image of 5.1. Therefore no stock recovery if you want to flash everything back like stock , unless you go back to 5.0 and then flash ota, hence the potential risk.

Doesn't the factory reset convert the phone back into the stock? Like what used to happen in previous Android versions?

No, that's never been a thing. It only wipes /data and doesn't touch /system at all.
For that to work, they'd have to take up valuable phone space with system images.
As for root, getting it is virtually unchanged since 4.4.4. Use Cf-Auto-Root or let twrp do it.

Just flash TWRP and root that way... If you don't want to overwrite the default recovery, boot TWRP. No real risks, it hasn't changed from 5.0.
