Hey all,
I'm having some trouble flashing TWRP on my phone. I've been following this guide here. When attempting to install TWRP to get root, however, it won't work. I've tried several different versions of fastboot & mfastboot. Sometimes I get a "bootloader variable not found" error, but most of the time now it exits saying it's successful. However, when I reboot into fastboot mode and then into recovery mode, it's still at the stock recovery. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If it helps, my unlock status code shown is 3.
Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention I got the OTA as soon as my phone turned on. So go back to stock, root and then do the OTA?

No, ota won't flash with custom recovery.
Which carrier are you on.
Try a factory reset, you will lose all your data etc, so do a backup on your computer

I didn't think it would... I'm on ATT, with a Dev edition. And no data to backup yet, just got the phone today.
Could you point me to where you got the working .img file?

Here' s the rsdlite thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
I believe on your op you used another thread, that thread has I believe the link for rsdlite
Here's the firmware thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538394
Prior to setting up rsdlite make sure you have the latest moto device manager and drivers installed. Also open up the sbf file and find the XML file, open it up and delete the line that has getvar in it
I took the camera 4.2 ota and I could not flash twrp either even though my boot loader is unlocked. I won't take any more ota's , I'll just flash the firmware through rsdlite

OK, I'll use rsdlite to get back to stock, and then flash the new firmware, and then see if I can flash the twrp.img. I saw the line about deleting the getvar line, so I'll make sure I do that too... thanks for the help, I'll let you know how it goes.

It worked! It must have been because of the OTA I got immediately... but flashing the correct 4.4 worked (I downloaded it directly from Motorola, since none of those specifically said GSM Dev Edition (turned out to be the T-Mo one). SuperSU works too, now just to install TiBu and be on my merry way!

Hi All,
I just got a new X yesterday and it's running 4.2.2. I heard there's a root method for 4.4 so I'm wondering if it's better to root now, then flash a stock 4.4 ROM or take the OTA to 4.4 and then root?

Does this guide work for the Verizon moto x? In step one it seems to imply that it only works for Sprint and AT&T. I apologize if this is a dumb question however I just want to make sure before I start.

Thanks for putting that together dray; I had one question about installing TWRP. It seems like this is the case based on the instructions, but I wanted to be sure, is it OK to install the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img even though I am running 4.2.2?
I have my bootloader unlocked already (VZW DE and gone through that process via adb) and have been trying to figure out which custom recovery to flash.
TIA

did you get the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img to flash successfully on 4.2.2 on your Dev edition?
I used mfastboot to flash it and when I try to go to recovery it just boots to Android/

Yeah, as dray_jr mentioned, after you flash it, you have to select recovery rather than rebooting.
This video also helped me (youtube.com/watch?v=sw675ipX-ds) (I don't have enough posts to hyperlink).
I actually followed the video but dray's instructions are the same process.

Update it via this Guide. Any method works.
PS: Dont try to boot recoveries without flashing with the Moto X. You´ll have a free heart attack like me.
FLASH the Recoveries. Get a Stock Recovery and flash it BEFORE installing any OTA.
Help me out too!!!

Even I hav been stuck on bootloader with no OS on my Moto x xt1052. I'v got the stock firmware but RSD Doesn't detect my device (probably because of no usb debugging enabled). I just have twrp recovery on my phone & when i try to adb sideload it doesn't work, also if i try to flash any custom rom through twrp i get the error "error executing updater binary in the zip" I read that I can manually flash stock rom through mfastboot but i cant find any procedure when i googled about it.
Pls guys help me out.
Hoping for Positive response at earliest.

Ok i screwed up, was trying to install a Lollipop update through recovery, installation failed and device rebooted and got stuck......tried to re enter the recovery, clear cash, wipe data....nothing seems to work.....please help
Ensure you're flashing the correct files for the variant of your device. What variant is it? Where did you buy it?
Once you've confirmed that the files are right, just start the flash procedure via recovery/ adb normally and it should be back to normal.
problem is, i do not know how to use the ADB way
What variant is it? XT1095/ 92/ 97/ etc??
Where did you buy it from?

Hi
Unlocked bootloader, rooted. I'd had some issues with my phone and thought it was a smart idea to do a full wipe and start completely from scratch. I'd done this before and had not had issues. This time round, not to much.
The link to the factory images on droid developers seems down to me. I wasn't 100% sure which version below I should be requesting from the motorola site?
When i tried to install what I thought was a good ROM, it kept saying 'unable to mount /cache /system' and other similar errors. This was when flashing in fastboot. i also tried RSDLite but it came up with an error 'rsd lite failed flashing process unknown fastboot command'.
My questions are:
1. Which version is the correct one for my first gen moto X TMobile edition?
2. When I get the correct version, will the above errors go away or is there some other issue?
Thanks in advance. I've tried to include as much detail as possible.
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
L-5.1-LPA23.12-15 (Retail) LMR1
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.29.1-2 (Retail) MR4

You can use all of the above IF your device is XT1053 (Developer Edition). The first one is for Lollipop 5.1. 2nd, 3rd and 4th is for Kitkat with different version. The last one is JellyBean (Androind version 4.2.2). The choice is yours.

Thank you. I don't have developers but I read that its OK to use this on a non-dev edition. As they don't post images for non-dev editions that might be my only choice. I tried one here but the errors I mentioned came up TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_CFC
Do you think the errors I saw are related to installing the wrong version or something else?

It could be wrong version or the file you used. Follow the steps from below link.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
I followed the steps from the link to the letter. I still got the same errors, and when I reboot it still just gets stuck at the 'warning bootloader' white and red screen, and never gets into the boot sequence for Android.
I tried both the 4.4 and the 5.1 GSM versions, and neither worked.
I pasted the errors I a seeing in the hope that someone can help

All the SBF files listed in OP are for Dev Edition and TMO. I used 5.1 for my XT1053. If you can go to fastboot and install TWRP, you haven't bricked yet. Tell me:
1) Which version were you in BEFORE trying the fastboot?
2) Which SBF file version did you try to flash using fastboot?
3) What is your Bootloader version. When you press Power + Vol Down and go to BL screen with Recovery etc options listed, check the no. at the top. It should be something like 30.BE (BE is the latest. you can have different version).
4) DO NOT use fastboot. You need to use 'mfastboot' for large system files. Search for 'mfastboot' in XDA. When you tried the fastboot method, did you get any errors especially with the system.img file?
Thanks, responses below

No wait. Do NOT try to downgrade. Important to know what is your BL version. Check @KidJoe signature. He has a link about dangers of downgrading.

BL version 30.B4
So your BL is of 4.4.2.. I would try mfastboot of 4.4.4 .. Read the links given in KidJoe signature and get a thorough idea of what you are doing before proceeding.

Good news! OMG I nearly cried when I saw the blue Motorola logo appear!!!
Bad news! But ugh I now have the dreaded 'wifi switch won't go on' issue. This is actually one of the reasons I formatted it in the first place! So i can't get it set up at all. Tried a reboot and the same issue.
Should I try a newer ROM (such as 5.1) and see if that fixes the issue? I hope this doesn't cause bootloader issues..! I'm so over being on the fastboot screen
Panic ye not. A cache clear in bootloader seems (for the moment) to have fixed the wifi issue.
Cool. So you are on 4.4.4 now? I didn't have any WiFi issues and don't know about that. Maybe you will find something on XDA.
And yeah you can use the 5.1 SBF file to upgrade. Your BL will be upgraded to 3.0BE after which you can't downgrade the BL. Aren't you getting any OTA updates asking you to install 5.1?

Thanks, yes. I'm not seeing any OTA updates to go to 5.1, which is weird. I don't yet have the TMo sim card installed, perhaps that's the reason? I'm adding a line so need to pick it up today. Perhaps it does some OTA check with the network before pushing it, to make sure its the right version. I'd prefer the OTA upgrade of course
Thanks again, I did the thanks button things. :good::good:
I read somewhere (not XDA) one person got OTA without having a sim card. Anyway, if you want to go to 5.1, I would say SBF method is the best. BTW, 5.1 hasn't been kind to me. I have a thread wherein I have posted the issue about Android optimizing all my apps on every reboot taking the boot time to 10-15 mins. Many ppl r having this issue. So it's up to you if you want to upgrade. And thanks

Thanks again Hitdroid. I'll see if the OTA takes once I get the SIM, else go to SBF method.
