Short and simple. I want my Moto X rooted.
If I can keep my pictures through this process thats cool. I have folders and such set up that took me forever to do. Pictures are backed up so thats not really a problem. All my apps and music are replaceable.
If I have to downgrade to 4.2.2 I dont mind. I would probably end up staying there til Kitkat gets more app support.
Would I just need the 4.2.2 Camera OTA and use RSD lite to flash that?
I miss my S3..... ;(

Unfortunately you can't downgrade and keep your data. You will need to erase user data when downgrading to 4.2.2 otherwise your phone will boot loop.

Use RSD Lite and the proper SBF. No, you don't need root.
I hate to be one of those guys that says "search," but all this has been discussed many times. You really need to look at some of the other threads and do some research.

Its funny they specifically put the model number and said it was supported. I would bet money that it does not work at all and they are just a shady group that should not be trusted.

I don't see the model number listed there. I wonder if someone just got overzealous with adding S5 variant model numbers and corrected it.
*edit* I see it now, I had to do a search. Hmmm... I don't know how this snuck under the radar if legit.

Loki is an instance of being able to use a custom recovery w/o unlocked BL. Coming from an i337, you begin to assume boot loader unlock isn't likely.

did SRSRoot install the SuperSU if so check your settings "Application Manager" in settings, if SuperSU is installed as a user app it will be listed in the "Downloaded" section if it is installed as a system app it will be in the"All" section.
or run a file explorer like esfile explorer that will allow you to view the /system/app folder (you cant write to it but you can still read from it) check and see if Supuser.apk exists in /system/app, if it does that means that at some point the srsroot app is gaining R/W access to system.

Hi guys,
I have a xperia z1 running 4.4.2 14.3.A.757 and i was wondering if i could use Vroot running 4.4.2 to root my z1 or do i have to downgrade to 4.2.2 the open Vroot and start the root process.
also i was wondering if i could open root with many android and root with 4.4.2 rather than 4.2.2.
Have been trying to follow Shem's video on youtube, the root with may android binary method when i open the runme.bat file it says out of date?
Or is there a way when i can root using 4.4.2 without
-unlocking the bootloader
-downgrading
-loosing all user data.
Im a noob to all the root stuff haha!
thanks brandon

To be honest I haven't a clue!

There is absolutely no need to root the phone using bin4ry, root many android, kingo or any other method. Shems videos are overkill (IMHO) and have unnecessary steps
