[Q] Stock Build OLYLA_U4_0.50.0

Hello guys,
There is topics on this but they are old and not clear.
I have one of the 0.50.0 builds and wondering how unlocking and installing CWM goes, i have seen people report good results in older threads but nothing really clear on how they did it or what method they used.
I used to have a motorola defy and we had to flash fixed sbf to keep downgrade possible, how does that work for atrix? I am on stock 2.2.2 with locked boot loader, if i unlock i can flash any full sbf? like flash 2.3.4 full sbf then downgrade to 2.2.2 if i want to? Is it possible to make a full sbf of my current stock rom on atrix? or just nandroid backup with cwm? really confusing.
Thanks alot =]

[Q] Rooting 4.4 XT1056 (Sprint) without bricking

With all the talk about downgrading causing bricks, I wanted to make sure that I had the right steps for rooting my Sprint XT1056 which is currently running 4.4 (30.B2 Bootloader):
1. Flash Android 4.2.2 Blur_Version.139.14.1.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US (is this the "Camera Update" version?) using RSD Lite
2. Use RockMyMoto and MotoWPNoMo
3. Reflash Android 4.2.2 Blur_Version.139.14.1.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US using RSD Lite
4. Use SlapMyMoto
5. Flash Android 4.4 Blur_Version.143.44.8.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US using RSD Lite (can I do this, or do I need to wait for my phone to download an OTA?)
6. Finish SlapMyMoto
Once the Sprint 4.4.2 OTA arrives, would taking it brick my phone if I've done this root method?

Forget slapmymoto or any root hack if you can unlock your boot loader. Slapmymoto has been untested AFAIK with the new 4.4.2 firmware. With any hack that involves bootloaders and system downgrades IMO will result in hard bricks , especially our moto x.

well depending on your warranty standing you could just unlock your bootloader and install a customer recovery and SUPERSU it is alot eaiser.
ethier choice here is a link to my guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
if you decide to go the hard way here are some links for you
Blur_Version.139.14.1.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US(Sprint 4.2.2 Camera update)
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=18
i would recommend just using the OTA with upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.4 when doing the SlapMyMoto root exploit
as for 4.4.2 when ever us Sprint user get it in order to take the OTA you will have to flash a complete stock 4.4 firmware and then take the OTA because if you dont your phone will get stuck in a bootloop.
as of right now the only way to root 4.4.2 is with a unlocked bootloader.

I'd prefer not to unlock and instavoid my warranty. I'm not going to send my phone back if I screw up the software, but I'd like the warranty to be there if my USB port or power button stops working.

[Q] Update from ics to jb

Hey, i would like to update from ics to jb but what is the difference between using an ota and flashing a firmware from the sbf droid developers site or even here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706
I have bootloader unlocked and ics rooted already if that makes any difference.

I recomend a lot install the jb firmware and not usibg the ota service, for avoid phone bricks, also, if you install the jb firmware with rsd lite, you have the posibility to return to ics without brick (i dont know why you will return but its a extra)

That's not entirely true that u cant go back when u have installed it by OTA update. With rsd and with ota update u will upgrade some files exactly the same way with both methods, that must not be downgraded. Those files are the bootloader and partition files aka motoboot, gpt, dns, ifwi and (bos?).
I recommend if u ever want to downgrade, flash all things manually. Flash the boot, recovery and system partitions only when going from JB to ICS and erase the cache/data partition or u will get a software-brick. Is fixable though.
But to go from ICS to JB (upgrade), I go with Marco for the rsd flash. Especially when rooted i think. There is a small change that u will relock the bootloader, but i don't know that for sure. However it should work with OTA in theory if u have stock recovery...

Thanks alot guys I updated with rsd lite and it worked my bootloader is still unlocked, but i noticed the when i boot up, the initial screen changed from the motorola logo with "bootloader unlocked" written, to a sort of warning notification about the bootloader being unlocked.
Hazou thats exactly what i wanted to know actually because i was confused about the downgrading process, seeing that many have hard-bricked. One more question, you say i must flash those files individually, but what about restoring a nandroid backup i made when on ics?

No problem, as long as u don't touch any of those bootloader files there is almost no chance that things can go wrong.

[Q] Remove Malware by Flashing a New Rom.

I wanted to flash my ROM to the stock ROM to remove any possible malware.
If I flash to a custom ROM will the Malware be removed?
Not really sure if I have actual Malware, but want to do it just in case. It's one of those random numbers showing up on the data usage screen.
Regardless, I want to act as if it were a virus or malware. Will flashing to a Custom ROM get me the results I am looking for?

Just return the device to stock via flashing the stock images. During that process you can command to erase user data and in the end you will have a phone like it came out the box.

Is that like a nomral factory reset?
I was trying to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
The link for the firmware was broken.

Yes please Safestrap Recovery

(Can't post directly there with less than 10 posts.
So this, Safestrap recovery, is only if your already rooted, right? I would be following "For unlocked users" instructions if I have never done anything to my phone. It is a late 2013 version I think it may have an OTA 4.4 update, though not sure if that applies since its not rooted or anything.
The instructions say "1. Boot into TWRP 2.7 factory reset then install the rom."
But I need root access to install twrp?
I suppose using the ROM for my phone with the instructions form he thread I was looking at before (linked in prior post) will be a bad idea.
Since I have done nothing to my phone (i think an ota update to 4.4.2), can't I simply do a custom image recovery and have it be okay?

This thread seems to suggest i can just us RS LITE and boot the recovery image I pulled from the other thread using RSDLITE.
Would that work out? Should I, Can I, use the safestrap or unlocked image from here (iKryptonites thread)? I wasn't able to find my rom in the other links you posted, though else were it was hinted that I could use a sprint rom.

With a locked bootloader and no root, you have no reason to think about custom recoveries, SafeStrap, and ROMs.
If you want to upgrade to 4.4.4, flash this http://www.filefactory.com/file/63sfruck3srr/REPW_XT1094_4.4.4_KXE21.187-L2.24_cid6_CFC.xml.zip in RSD Lite.
If you want to stay on 4.4.2, flash this http://www.filefactory.com/file/6ra...A20.16-1.24-1.12-12-release-keys-cid6.xml.zip in RSD Lite.
I would recommend flashing 4.4.2 (if that's what is currently on your phone) then check out Sunshine to see if it will unlock your bootloader. If you need instructions on how to use RSD Lite, use Google. Do not try to downgrade the firmware on your phone.

Install JB Retail EU for OTA KK update?

Hello,
New to all this and my phone is now past-it enough that I am willing to start tinkering!
I have read through the forums to try and understand what I need to do, can I just check this is somewhere along the right lines:
I want to trigger the Kitkat update, but am on the stock Orange GB Jellybean rom/firmware.
I *think* I need to use RSD to flash a Retail EU JB firmware onto my phone, which will then pick up the OTA Kitkat update? Is that right? I know there are other ways to load Kitkat but they are more involved/more subject to bricking my phone etc?
Edit: above works after bit more researching! End.
