Hello all. Been a long time. I am stuck. I have the HTC One with Hboot 1.56. Kit Kat came out and will not intergrade with my Pioneer head unit. Basic works, but no appradio. I talked to Pioneer and has to be Android 4.1.2 for appradio to work and the 4.1.2 firmware. So. I unlocked my One and rooted it on the hunt to find a way to roll back Androids Kit Kat and all I have is an unlocked phone. Its been years since I did any custom rom flashing and a lot has changed since. When I got the Sprint update to Kit Kat I didn't know the Pioneer head unit wouldn't work, something about the stereos firmware is not compatible with Kit Kat or its firmware and Pioneer is not sure they will have an update, or when. I guess Im stuck on stupid. I tried to get S-Off.. Nothing worked on Hboot 1.56. Read I have to change the Kernel or flash a custom rom, but I want to stay stock. Any easy way to just roll back using a RUU file? I did it before on the HTC Evo 3d and worked. Like I said, I must be stuck on stupid.. Thanks all.
My phone showed that there was an update available to KitKat and without thinking about it I updated. Now I noticed I do not have root access. SO I figured I would just root again, so I looked up a YouTube video to root LG Flex running KitKat. Did that but didn't work and I've now read that you can't root with KitKat. I can't find a thread that explains whether you actually can or can't root on T-Mobile LG Flex D959 with KitKat and if I already updated, how exactly do I go about rooting or back to before the update. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Not trying to be a dbag but always read through the android development section. I just read through the ioroot thread and it seems that the only way for you to attain root access on the D959 KK is D-FUSE's rooted rom. You will need to downgrade first though and follow all the outlined directions. Watch the video tutorial if need be. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52553477
Hey there,
I recently bought a brand new 1st gen Moto X and its currently running Jelly Bean 4.2.2. When I try to update it, it says "Your device is up to date! No update is necessary at this time.".
I've never flashed a ROM before so its new to me. But could I get a factory Kit Kat image and flash it with the stock recovery? To do that, do I need to unlock my bootloader?
Any help would be appreciated! I'm very sick of Jelly Bean.
Thanks.
What model of Moto X do you have? The model number is listed on the back of the device near the bottom. It will say XT10## where the last two numbers indicate what model you have for a specific carrier.
Your carrier may not have the 4.4.4 update available yet.
Yeah I've got the XT1058 on Rogers in Canada. My sister also has an XT1058 on Rogers, but she has gotten Kit Kat OTA.
I just think it should have gotten Kit Kat by now. Is it risky to flash a factory Kit Kat image?

Nope, not risky. That's what I would do.
Follow the instructions in the "Return to 100% stock" thread. Should take less than 15 minutes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Since the leaked 4.4.4 sbf isn't available yet (at least not on droid-developers), I suggest flashing Rogers 4.4.2 ( here is the link: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=822 )
Afterwards, you can take the update to 4.4.4.
To answer a couple of your questions: Follow the instructions in the linked return to stock thread. Everything you need is in there. You do NOT flash from recovery - you flash using "RSD Lite" or "mfastboot". Also, unlocked BL is *NOT* required to flash your stock, signed firmware. As long as you read the instructions, this should be very simple.
Hi,Im first time rooter and i have a problem to understand the whole story about this. I found all the step by step instructions how to root it to 5.1 lollipop(as much i understood i need to root it on kk and after to flash it to lollipop) but my concern is how to downgrade firmware from 21.21.15quark_verizon.en.us to firmware 21.44.12. so i can do a rooting after. I was digging all over internet especially on this forum and i couldn't find any instructions how to do it. I will need step by step about this. Please if there is anybody that can help me i would appreciate his help. Thank you
I don't think you can downgrade once you're at lollipop. That's why people have been not upgrading or calling to get a refurbished phone and hoping it still has kit kat on it
Anyone know how to SIM unlock LS995 for 4.4.2. carrier/property folder method does not work on 4.4.2. It works only on 4.2.2. Its Sprint locked mobile and I want to use it on GSM network outside US as i bought it as used one and get it locked while updating. Before update it was working perfectly. It also work it i flash stock ROM by carrier/property folder method but I need to update it on 4.4.2 for knockon or double tap.
Did you TOT back to 4.4.2? Glad you figured it out. The carrier replacement mod does work for 4.4.2, I'm using it right now on cricket/at&t.
Here's another guide, the g2 unlock is the same on the flex. Software is close enough. PM me if you have any other questions

Also knockon is available on the playstore if you want to stay on 4.2
