I came across the article below a few days ago, and downloaded the file in the link, and realized it's been years since I switched or upgraded a recovery IMG on a phone... How would I install the recovery image? It says flashable, but is it flashable from recovery or adb? What's the proper process?
Also, I have twrp manager installed on my phone, and I went and looked for the recovery in the 'install recovery' section of the app after I saw the article. The closest thing I could find in the menu was 'ghost'. It's petty clear that the custom images aren't named directly after the device, and in pretty sure the 'ghost' recovery image is the right one, just looking for some confirmation...

Seems to be.
I don't usually update unless I need to personally. If it ain't broke, why fix it...is my motto. Lol. So I haven't used it...but you can get it in that thread. ?

Is there not a custom recovery available on 4.4.2 yet?
Is there a root option on 4.4.2?
I have a unlocked moto x
You say your unlocked. Your reference is to the boot loader right?

Recovery is separate from whatever the base OS version you're running. You can root 4.4.2 if you have non-stock recovery, but that's it. Given your post though, you should just leave the phone stock.

I want to at least root it I need my xposed framework
I posted this on the other thread you opened, which was basically the same thread.
Toss the toolkit and see this guide. Has everything you need to know. Use fastboot and learn more about this stuff...versus clicking in a toolkit.

Also, the dev section definitely has kit kat recoveries. 3 of them.
Does anyone know how to root running 4.4.2? Only method I can find is to downgrade first to 4.2.2. If that is the only way, can somebody point me the way to a download and instructions to do this for the g flex?
Towelroot is the way

supposedly you cant root with a factory 4.4.2. you have to downgrade first.
I've already answered you in one thread you posted this. Try to keep these in one place and you'll get some help. Use stump root from the g3 forum.
Also, questions go in q and a. development is for devs to release eek.

Tried yesterday even asked developer about my model to see if it could get supported. If so, he would be a hero to many a g flex owners
It looks like the only way to root D950G running stock 4.4.2 is to downgrade. Does anyone know where instructions are for that?
Oh I'm in wrong section. Dame, just created new thread, didn't see any other selections. Will look harder next time ****

When stump root said not supported did you select to brute force it? It worked perfectly on my T-Mobile flex so don't see why it won't work for yours.

Yes I brute forced twice. It seems all root methods work on t mobile but not my D950G model or at&t D950. Only way to I to downgrade so far. I have rooted a wack of phones and this is the easiest method ever, no screwing it up.

Well that's strange. Anyways of i get a second I'll make a twrp zip of the kit Kat for your phone. Then you can just flash that and before rebooting flash the latest supersu zip, like what D-Fuse made for T-Mobile.
---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
By the way did you download the supersu apk and open it after running brute force. Stump doesn't install it and i had to open it and update su binary once before everything worked

Thanks but I am on kit Kat, I need to downgrade to jelly bean 4.2.2 to root. No I didn't install super user because it said device not supported
I'm taking about doing this with your stock kit Kat kdz. Then follow those instructions so after flashing the zip you'd flash the supersu zip. That would leave you on stock rooted kit Kat

Or you could make it yourself following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666967
Do you think I could use the first option? I see sprint, at&t, and t mobile. I use rogers, model almost at&t D950G compared to at&t's D950.
For the second option, is it ok to use for my flex if I get kdz/tot for this phone? Just wondering because it only says G2. Thanks
That's how i made the Sprint downgrade zip and D-FUSE made all his zips. Just download the latest kit Kat kdz for your phone and follow the instructions i linked. It's very easy, should only take an hour or so depending on your computer
Cool have everything downloaded will give a shot later. There's an app call lg phone from, it tells everything about phone and even gives link to your kdz
Hi,
I checked the sbf.droid-developers site but the Rogers stock FW for 4.4.4 is nowhere to be found. Anyone know where I can grab a copy?
Thanks.
It likely has not been leaked yet. You will probably have to wait. ?

KJ, I think I may have found it: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100&page=1
I also filed a ticket at Motorola Support but don't think they'll be of any help.
No Rogers there other than 4.2.2. So that's very outdated.

I'd want to be 1000% sure first. Ota was less than a month ago.

You're risking a lot if you try it.
Um... I was looking for 4.4.4 for my 1st gen Moto X... Which is a XT1058. The 2nd gen X is on Telus so I wouldn't have asked for a Rogers flash...
Perhaps you've confused me with someone else?

I did... Notice the edited post. ?
Well, the version numbers match; I'll extract the build.prop and see which model it really is for.

Well, the xml file does confirm that it's for the Rogers XT1058.

Again, I just find it odd that it's a month old.
I'd proceed with caution anyway.
Alright, before I get all into this post, If I'm like, posting this in the wrong section I apologize deeply. New, but I would love to have this question answered.
I recently switched from iPhone to my Nexus 6. Love it. I want to root my Nexus 6 though, I have this from T-Mobile and it's running Android 5.1 right now, are there any guides out there or videos that you could link that runs me through how to root it that won't break my phone since I'm running 5.1? Thanks.

You don't need to flash twrp.
a) You can fastboot boot cf-auto-root.img
b) You can fastboot boot twrp.img and then adb sideload root.zip through it.
This is a Nexus with fastboot. Not a samsuck.

The only thing breaking phones is not knowing what you`re doing followed by making the wrong decision All 2 above suggestions are great btw.
