So I unlocked my moto x bootloader and installed 4.4 stock rom. I'm a ting user, so my phone uses Sprint towers. Now I need to update. Like a dummy I tried to take the ota and my phone boot looped. So I went into titanium backup and froze the update. But I would like to get the latest stock rom.....what do I need to do?
Do you have a custom recovery? Xposed? Removed any system apps?
Ota won't work if you answered yes to any of those.

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.

You need to have stock recovery and no system changes for OTA to work.

Easiest just to flash 4.4.4 with fast boot.

thank you. do you have a link to a guide on how to do that,i'm pretty much a newb when it comes to the nexus 7.
The general and Q&A sections have stickied threads always on top (little thumb tack pic beside them) you should read them all soon. All the important info is there.

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

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
Can someone please help me upgrade my OS to lollipop I've been trying all day I've tried doing it this way but it didn't work: from Droid views article Update to Lollipop and Root AT&T Galaxy S4 Active SGH-I537
i don't think i did right if anyone can help me using the website above if anyone can send screenshots on how they did it or if you have a easier way please leave a message on how you did it.
i do not have a att sim right now and it is not rooted. It is currently running 4.2.2 jelly bean
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/how-to-update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355
you need to start from kitkat rooted
Well. If you want root, look for the stock ROM index, then get ne3 (or whatever kitkat has a full Odin package) flash it, and then if you want root, root here and use flashfire to flash lollipop, if not get the update .zip from the same thread and flash it for no root.

No you cannot due to the bootloader. We got lucky that the 4.4 bootloader works with 5.0. It is not hard at all my friend just download odin. flash all 4 NE3 files with odin. Use towelroot to gain root. then flash whatever rom you like from there. The long list of instructions was due to the old version of flashfire having issues. The new version is much more stable. If you get confused let me know
@Rick1684
Hmm if I'm clear, I have to upgrade to 4.4 before I can upgrade to 5.0 ...
I can't jump from 4.3 to 5.0

Odexed might have ever so slightly better battery life and bootup time, but deodexed is necessary if you want to modify your system, I.e. you want to use Xposed.

I just went through the process of re-locking my boot loader to find that for whatever reason I'm not getting OTA's now.
Do you have a link on how to backup the IMEI?
Also, will the ROM you provided work with OTA updates in the US?
