Anybody know where I can get the latest rogers firmware with camera ota? I would like to unroot so that I'm prepared for the 4.4 update but can't find the rogers ota file to flash.

Anyone try to downgrade from the kitkat OTA yet? Verizon can so I'm wondering if the T-Mobile folks can.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
for what i know as long as you have a unlockable bootloader, you should be able to.
if not, then gg
Is it as simple as downloading the 4.2.2 for your carrier, extracting, and flashing recovery/boot/system? (from sbf-droid)
I've got the 4.4 update w modem and hlos and all that crap. (the leaked 4.4)
You dont need to downgrade to install OTA, check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47714142#post47714142
The 4.4 on sbf.droid is the OTA? (/TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_CFC.xml.zip)

Sorry, let me ask again. If you took the ota and you are on t-mobile, can you use rsd to get back to 4.2.2 camera ota? This question is directed towards the locked folks.
Thanks!

Nope un not the OTA is tus full firmware for KitKat
I guess what I should have said was official version, not the leaked 140.42.3. But yes, those instructions worked wonderfully.
Why would anyone want to do that.. Kitkat is so nice on my T-Mobile moto x
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk
Please don't flame me, I am on my phone and can't do a search.
I took the kitkat OTA and want to downgrade back down to the camera update ota and hopefully use jcase's root method to keep root with kitkat.
Any links would be appreciated. Wasn't sure if I could just rsd back or not.

Yes you can RSD back, If you couldn't slap my moto wouldn't be possible. Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896

Thanks, I was pretty sure that i could rsd back. But I did read on a bunch of sites that motorola said that if you took the ota for kitkat you would not be able to downgrade. That's why I wanted to check.
Yes you can RSD back to camera update. I have done it with my Verizon moto x. I use foxfi and needed my tethering without root.

OK thank you. I'll probably just have wait cause I don't have access to a computer for a couple weeks.
Probably people not reading or taking out the right lines in the XML. Need to delete a line in there before putting it up on RSD lite and returning to stock. If it's on the official firmware sites it won't brick your phone.

Yep, we had suspected that 4.4.3 patched the exploits. We pretty much KNOW that 4.4.4 is completely immune to them. It was worth a shot though... :/
Thanks for the confirmation. Just for reference, which variant do you have?

You -could- attempt to downgrade, but realize that it is NOT ADVISED, and you CAN/WILL Likely brick your device, either now or in the future.
If I can't talk you out of it, whatever you do, DO NOT flash gpt.bin or motoboot.img from the 4.4.2 SBF.
If you downgrade anyways (ignoring our advice) and it works, realize that if you accept an OTA in the future, you will likely brick at that point.
If you are successful, you probably will be able to root using the new exploit, but DO NOT recommend other users to do it! (You don't want to be responsible for others' bricking their devices, right?)
[End Rant]
Good Luck.
thanks man I just did some reading on the xt1053 model the boot loader was not updated from 4.4.2 -4.4.3 so I feel I am safe trying this for now

Even so, DON'T flash gpt.bin from the 4.4.2 SBF
DON'T use RSD-LITE (it WILL attempt to flash gpt.bin)
And don't say I didn't warn you.

Dude!!!! I wish I noticed this earlier, but if you have an XT1053, (and not XT1058), you can UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER, for FREE on Motorola's Website!!!
Unlocking the BL is far superior to -any- of these 'exploits'. It will allow you to have PERMANENT root, even on the latest (and future) updates.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Gosh, I hope you didn't actually try to downgrade.....if you did try, you should download the ENTIRE 4.4.3 SBF, flash back to 100% stock 4.4.3, and unlock your BL. Then flash TWRP custom recovery, and it will root your device for you. Its that easy.
Write protect will be disabled too! So you can write to /system, and root will be persistent. (You DON'T get that using any of the exploits)
Good Luck!!! :good:

bootloader (motoboot.img) might not have changed, but partition table (GPT.BIN) did. so the brick risk is there.
As @samwathegreat mentioned, since you have the XT1053, you can get your bootloader unlock code directly from Moto's web site and easily root after unlocking your bootloader, no matter what Moto ROM should be on your phone. (even 4.4.3 and 4.4.4, and future).
The only thing... If you have a real Dev Edition (says Developer Edition on the back, has a black face, woven white back) XT1053, unlocking the bootloader does not void your warranty. If you have any other XT1053 just requesting the code to unlock your bootloader DOES void the warranty.

Yeah, I was confused as well. "dev" could mean "developer", OR "device"?
Also confusing is that the XT1053 is NOT an AT&T device at all! (Although it CAN be used on AT&T - it's not an AT&T-branded device....which would be the XT1058).
?!?
Just use this guide.....first the unlocking your bootloader section. Then the root unlocked bootloader section.
Easy.

It is SIM-Unlocked already, yes. This means you can use it on T-Mobile, AT&T, or any other GSM carrier.
It is NOT bootloader unlocked until you follow the steps in the link @KJ Posted. It IS Bootloader-unlockABLE, but you must do the steps (request code & use fastboot to unlock) in order to get it "Boot-Loader unlockED".
See: "What Devices Can Unlock Their Bootloader" in the thread @KJ linked you to.
Good Luck
