Hello everyone,
I am posting here today on the topic of the Moto X OS Updater. I have the VZW Moto X Dev Ed running Rooted Kit Kat 4.4. I do not want the new update and it is asking me everyday if I would like to install. As I am not interested in doing so I would like to remove this. Is there a way to shut down the updater or maybe even remove the apk? If so what is it called or how do I do so?
Thanks in advance!

Well from what I read I can't go back to the post camera update if I take 4.4.2. This is important I am able to do what I want you know.

The main reason people want to get back to 4.2.2 is to root. with the DE you can root with any version because of the unlocked bootloader.

You have a developer edition... You can flash damn well near anything you want.

yeah, but a little reading and people can figure it all out. and some of the fear is good, people get a little too trigger happy sometimes before they learn the ropes of a new device.

well it is very known what you can and can't flash, it's stickied in the general thread. No misinfo on that one. also all the upgrading and downgrading software and bootloader info is there too. pretty much everything, I think the people who are nervous are the ones not reading threads. things are pretty clear and dry here, and many questions have been answered there too!

CartlandSmith said:
From what others are posting using the unofficial fxz, you can run the 4.4 system with the 4.4.2 bootloader and I would presume the 4.2.2 system, too although I don't see where anyone has specifically tried that. However, if you do run a lower version of the system than the bootloader and accidentally take the 4.4.2 OTA again, you will brick. So you would need to freeze the OTA app to avoid that.

Cool report back. By the way this goes in general not development. Oh ya you may want to change title to sim unlock not just unlock.

@CuhThooLoo
you just have to root your device (it is best if you downgrade to JB but not necesarry if you're already using KK)
download the zip for the G2 - Flex unlock and follow the steps.
I'm using mine with Claro and its all working normally.
I would recommend using This method its easy and quick.

Does it worked on the G3 Vigor?

How did you unlock the bootloader?

@Cpasjuste and @ggow, I think you could provide to us your unlocked aboot partition for already rooted users and do not distribute any tools and do not violate any agreements with JCase.
What you think?
Hi ONYXis. I have no agreement with jcase, and I don't like him. The thing is there is a very high risk of brick, I don't think its a good idea. That said I know someone who will look at it and Ill let you know of course.
Intriguing...things certainly moving forward.

How do you not like @jcase? He's a nice guy.
Also, I personally don't care, but I think placeholder threads are not allowed.

I could care not if you liked me or not, but you are full of it saying it has a very high risk of brick. It is down right safe. You don't know how it works, even though details have been public for many months.
If I recall correctly myself or an associate unlocked his before we started getting harassed.
His aboot is no different than the others ones, its not a patched or modified loader, and it will do no good having it.

Not that anyone should really be arguing anyway, but JCase and others are right, placeholder threads are not allowed.
OP - if/when you have something ready for release, let us know, and we can reopen the thread..
No, ZV7 is not out yet. But it is in development as indicated by the new RDF.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS991-SPRINT/LS991ZV7.rdf
Now I checked a few days ago and this wasn't here. It's also noteworthy that with the H815 getting 6.0 this might be what's coming our way. We saw something similar when ZV8 came out for the G3, it was a different version on the RDF. I'll try and poke the bear, see what I can find out.
In the meantime let the speculation begin!
I wouldn't hold my breath for M --YET-- it's way to soon. Besides inside the rdf file it says 5.1. Probably just additional security updates, and perhaps some additional enhancements like we had with ZV5 & ZV6. I do like your speculation though. ?

With M out already for the global version and it supposedly out in short order afterwards for US... Well, stranger thing have happened.
I just hope the exploits we use to DD the custom ROMs doesn't get patched with 5.1 update, could be a prep for M complete with security fixes. If so I may pass on the update and or M. Just my opinion only time will tell....
OK. G3 is now showing an update ALSO in the works. And what two devices are supposed to get M first for LG?
If that's not M it's a fix that affects them both... Stagefright's already patched so not sure what other big ones are out there.

I probably will too. If you guys haven't heard M will need you to flash a custom boot.img/kernel for root, which I imagine would almost definitely throw a secure boot error for us.

I wonder how easy it will be to root M. If I'm unable to root, I'll be sticking with L.

I second that. But, you know, we will always have root. I can't think of a single device that cannot be rooted... even my wifes cricket phone can be rooted and there isn't any forum or development for it.

That might be true. But there are plenty of devices that have never been rooted.
And if you root some new devices on Verizon or AT&T they will boot you off the network.

Yeah the At&t Note 4 does not have root which was one of the reasons I left that device.
