Accept update to 4.4 if I want root?

Hi all!
I just got an att moto x of Craigslist.
I'm planning on rooting it.
It hasn't been updated to 4.4 yet.... Is there a problem accepting the update if I want to root /unlock?

JCase has rooted 4.4 but don't take the update yet go to rootzwiki and his tutorial on how to do it is there. You start with 4.2.2.

How to root & prepare for custom rom?

I just ordered a Moto X Verizon, and I will be rooting it and flashing Eclipse rom onto it. Is there any reason not to take all the OTA updates from Verizon, and then root and do safestrap or? Not sure how it works. I
Thank you

Go read Jcase "slap my moto" thread in original development and after your done....read it again. The many posts in that thread have the answers your looking for pertaining to OTAs and what goes along with rooting the moto x on 4.4

No custom rom for you then unless you install SafeStrap.

Yea I know I'd have to use safestrap. But is the latest OTA root able and safestrapable? Just wanted to be sure before I take the ota update from Verizon

Safestrap is not KK compatible yet AFAIK.
And yes it is rootable. Good amount of work though.

Tmobile G Flex Kit Kat update

When I woke up today I had a notification that the kitkat update was ready for download and install, So I did and it downloaded, rebooted into recovery saying it was updating, when i rebooted again I'm still on 4.2.2. I can't find the download , does anyone know of another way to apply the kitkat update another way?

Matt something or other over on the nexus 7 threads and razor HD threads wrote an apk. I've got it some where that you van download. Its on the play store also. It freezes the download after its finished downloading and pulls it from the sort of hidden folders and puts it in a zip on your SD card as well as uploads it to his site and I think github

He goes by batakang. Great developer. Super cool cat too. Here's his apk. Please install and if you get an update please run the apk and snatch the ota for us to build off of and go thru it to find what if at all it patches and locks down further.

Anyone want to try rooting the G Flex with this?

Read this article http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ve-and-maybe-almost-any-other-current-device/
If it works, get your little butt back here and tell us.

This seems like Iit would only be for a device on AT&T or Verizon. I'm hesitant to attempt this method on my flex. I would be OK with giving it a go if I had a back up phone JIC

Autoprime posted this in his root thread. Should work for any device before June third. 4.3

Ran it on the AT&T D950 bone stock running 4.4.2 and according to root checker it says it's rooted....WHOOOOT !!!!!

I just tried rooting my g flex D950G Rogers Canada Variant on 4.2.2 with this tool and it worked! Haven't tried installing a custom recovery yet but i have installed xposed and gravity box and its confirmed working

I'm about to try this for myself. I plan on using an existing CWM (I'm on 4.2.2), flashing stock KK, and rooting with Towelroot. Will I lose my CWM?

this works on my flex d958( kitkat) , great work

Works on my AT&T G Flex.

I got a buddy that's been waiting on root method for his AT&T GS5 on 4.4.2 and he tried it today with success. Just download the apk and click "make it rain".

Worked here too!
This worked on my phone as well.
That is, ATT LG G Flex 4.4.2.
Time to try a new ROM!

Cool, glad to see this worked. We need a freaking recovery now so we can flash zip files.

Why do we not have a recovery for this? I dunno jack about making the recovery etc just curious.

If you root with this method ,can you unroot just uninstalling the apk or not ?

I'm pretty sure it just roots using an exploit once. After you run towelroot, it shouldn't matter if it stays installed.

No only with apk.
You must download SuperUser from market and go to the option root uninstall. You run it and you are unroot.

Should I update before 5.0.1.1

I seen in another thread that there is a firmware upgrade to be released on amazons website for these devices. I have two that are not yet out of the box as they are Xmas presents for my kids . Should I keep them at 5.0 .......open them the now and update to 5.0.1 or wait till later and jump right to 5.0.1.1.
I'm assuming that since the last update was automatic then this one will be too.....unless someone can modify the 5.0.1 update command and we can run it before the next update from amazon. Otherwise all the development for 5.0.1 Will have been for nothing

Me personally I don't regret updating to 5.0.1 I have full gplay I'd update just in case the new one breaks gplay or anything else

Is there a way to stop any future updates though .....will any future update be auto download to your device
