No I'm afraid not. That only works if your 4.4 or lower. As of 4.4.2 it doesn't work anymore.
And you can not downgrade without a great risk of bricking.
Well then we have to wait a new exploit that allows to root.
Thanks for your answer!
thanks
SBF.DroidDevs Is Gone!!!
Hello all,
I've been trying to get my 2013 VZW Moto X back to stock, but I don't have access to the SBF, since Droid-Dev's is down or something. I know there is a post on XDA about the Developer Edition of the Moto X 2013, but I have the consumer model. Any idea where I can get the 4.4.4 SBF?

question about rooting Sprint Moto X running 4.4.4
I've got a Sprint Motorola X running 4.4.4 with a previously unlocked bootloader from having rooted it on 4.2.2 way back when. I lost root with the update but kept the unlocked bootloader. Will the Moto X Toolkit work for me?
Return to Stock not downloading files
When I try to do Return to Stock, then choose my carrier (Verizon), then choose to download and install any of the stock images, I get a 404 error when trying to download the stock .zip file.
Pasting the address (I cannot past it here, but it links to the VZW_XT1060_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip file on droid-developers.org) into a web browser also gives me the same File Not Found error.
Has the file moved or is something else going wrong?

I haven't looked at the toolkit in some time, if there isn't a menu option to "Root with unlocked bootloader" then there should be an option to flash TWRP Recovery (since the release notes for Toolkit 1.4.4 says "Updated TWRP to 2.8.1.0")
Once you've successfully flashed TWRP, reboot the phone into it, it should ask if you want too root.
Other option is to not use the toolkit and see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-instructions-unlocking-t2649738/post54796193

I was looking into that, but I need the recovery.img / system.img / and the boot.img files for unrooting. Do you know where I could find those?

Try the file factory link and find the firmware for your model and Android version.... Don't downgrade.... Then you can flash the files individually.
See the returning to stock section in this guide,

Alright, I was reading through that, and it looks as if I can flash 4.4.4 without unrooting or anything like that (right now I'm on 4.4.2), because the firmware is available on file factory. Is there any prerequisites I need to take before flashing? I have an unlocked bootloader if that means anything in this situation....

I am currently using cm12 5.0.2 rom on my sprint moto x . I have a nandroid backup with stock 4.4.4 rom. my question is can I restore the nandroid backup without any problem?
Also I have to unroot and then lock the bootloader kindly tell me how to do that please.
Help Updating Verizon Moto X Developer Edition
All,
I have the Verizon Moto X Developer Edition. I originally bought it since I chose to pay full price, to maintain my unlimited Data. I also like rooting my device for certain operations, and I was willing to pay a little extra for the warranty to cover this activity.
I unlocked my bootloader and I rooted my device. I originally backed up my system, but never used TWRP, since I was happy with the mostly stock debloated ROM. I did use the Root to enable free Native WiFi hotspot.
Since the root and unlock, I have not received any system updates, and I'm stuck at Android 4.4. I have a Nexus 7 (2013) tablet, and I enjoy many of the newer features of Android.
I have seen Droid-life posts that the Moto X mainstream version is on 4.4.4.
Can anyone explain how to update my Developer Edition to 4.4.4 or later while maintaining Root and my Hotspot workaround? To be honest, I stopped tracking it, and don't even know what the latest version is for the mainstream Gen 1 Moto X. I have read some reports that show (Non-Developer versions) updating to the latest ROM wipes the Root, and they cannot get it back. And I am also under the impression that the mainstream image update is not compatible with my phone.
I used to tinker with several different ROMs all the time with my previous two phones, but I'm a little rusty. It has been 18 months since I bothered, as most of the functionality I need is reliable at this point. Yes, I realize that implies I probably don't need to tinker, but I'm considering it, pending the above information.
The one critical requirement is that I do use my phone as the hotspot, and enabling on my current plan required root access, or no-root, and an additional $30/month. I kind of like that feature. I used this method.
shaky
Sorry If this is a newbie question.
SO here is my Story.
I Was trying to flash the Epsilon Project ROM for my Moto X 1052. So I first created a Nandroid Backup of My Kitkat 4.4.4 Stock ROM.
But When I was wiping my data Cache and dalvik i accidentally cleared all my internal storage. The Stock ROM was completely wiped and my cell was stuck at Bootloader Unlocked warning message.
Suddenly i got an idea and I flashed The Epsilon ROM using OTG Cable. The device booted succesfully. But if I want to go to the stock rom back then should i restore my Nandroid or I should follow the RSDLite method.
Does flashing the custom ROM using the OTG have any effect on the Bootloader because I heard that Downgrading the bootloader from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 bricks the phone. Is my bootloader is still on 4.4.4?
Thanks
Nandroid or use fastboot. Why would flashing a rom using an OTG cable be any different from having your phone connected to a computer? The only way your bootloader would be on 4.4.2 is if you flashed a 4.4.2 rom, but that wouldn't be successful.
Why doesn't anybody use fastboot anymore?
I used to have a Samsung device. Everything was flashed using Odin and it had extSdCard slot also.
So dealing with so many commands freak me out. That's why I dont use fastboot. (don't know about others)
Thnks for your reply

Actually, even if you bricked downgrading to 4.4.2, the bootloader wouldn't be downgraded.
I've not seen anyone able to downgrade their bootloader, bricking or not. If it is possible, that gives some hope to all those 4.4.4 VZW users with locked bootloaders, who can't use sunshine currently...

Hello, I have unlocked bootloader and earned root acces in my Moto G XT1069. I'm with the Android 5.0.2 Stock and want to install TWRP (Under Fusion Custom ROM) in that, how I do that? I'm very thankful for you guys.:good::good::good::good:
In the general section there is a while guide for all this. Go read it and flash TWRP which is available for all version of g2
Thanks in advance for any information/guidance provided! Please bear w/ me, I am pretty new to all of this. I apologize for any incorrectly used terminology.
I have a Verizon Moto X 2014 (XT1096) that I have recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted via SuperSU and TWRP Recovery. When I opened SuperSU, I got an error message stating that I needed to update the binary, but it was unable to be done OTA. I used TWRP to sideload the binary zip file onto the phone's internal storage, which seemed to work fine.
Using the same method, I moved CM13 (01/14/16 nightly build) to the internal storage and followed the remaining steps in the process.
Jump ahead a few days (phone seems to be working great & am running on T-Mobile LTE perfectly) and now I have a few questions:
1. Is my phone for all intents and purposes, considered Pure Edition since I have unlocked BL and rooted the phone?
2. I can download nightly updates, but when I try to install them, the phone reboots/does not install the build.. How can I download and install the updates OTA?
3. Is it necessary for me to keep the TWRP recovery/backup zip file on my phone's internal storage? (wondering b/c phone is ony 16 gb and the backup used a large amount of available storage)
4. Is there any way for me to have stock Marshmallow on this phone instead of CM?
Thanks again and sorry for the likely horrible explanation.
Daniel

1) No, you don't have a pure edition. The xt1095 is the pure edition. Nothing to do with the bootloader being unlocked or rooted. The xt1095 is called the pure edition because it is the only model that does NOT lose warranty after you unlock the bootloader. You have the xt1096, so when you unlocked it you voided the warranty.
2) The CM updates should work fine. Does it give an error?
3) What zip file are you talking about? Do you mean a backup of your system?
4) If you use verizon's service, no. If you use any other service such as tmobile or any other gsm company yes. If you don't use verizon service, you can flash the xt1095 marshmallow firmware. It will work 99%, the only thing that won't work is verizon service because verizon is CDMA.

2) No, it doesn't give an error. It shows a pop up message saying the phone will reboot into recovery mode to install the update. Note: this feature requires a compatible Recovery or the updates will need to be installed manually.
3) Where would I download the img apk for Android 6.0?
Thanks again!
