I believe if you delete the exchange account and re-add it, it should work fine..

Just a heads up guys, the GSM dev edition is just running the same software are tmo, so anything for tmo can be applied to yours as well including the official OTA or the factory images for it

Been there done that. I have both a gsm dev and an AT&T and they both exibit the same behavior. There is a major bug in KitKat that flows across all devices.

Follow this thread, Option #2 including the last step(modem files) and you will be ready to successfully flash the OTA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536735
FAQ for Kit kat and How to prepare for it (All Carriers)
Beamed from my Moto X

Thank God someone asked this already! :good:
Btw, who is in charge of the Developer Edition updates (like KitKat and bug fixes)? The Motorola Team? Since it's not attached to a specific carrier when you buy it.
Last question, does it work worldwide? I'm thinking of buying this version of the Moto X, I live in Panama and this device hasn't come here (and probably won't, since it's not samsung or iphone market <_<). So if I select the "check for updates" on the phone, will it detect it? :fingers-crossed:

The GSM Developer Edition runs the same software as the T-Mobile version. Motorola is posting the factory images on their website. You can also get the files here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php
Not sure if your phone will detect an update or not but mine does on AT&T network, it shouldn't be an issue though for you as you will have two sources to get the files from yourself.

[Q] Moto x roms (XT-1052)

Pa Cm And LS are unified builds so you can flash them. There are no stock based roms specifically for this variant.
To flash those roms its a tedious process

Yea it works perfect. I am on stock + faux kernel. Works like a charm. Can't live without active display.
Yea latest PA is there. Check in AOSPA thread

Just stick with the stock software so you don't lose any unique Moto features and once rooted install Xposed with the Gravity Box module. Gravity Box module has almost every Rom tweak you can think of built in, you can pick and choose what features you want to use...it's like building your own custom rom.

@DaRkRhiNe are all the indian 16Gb variants of Moto X are XT-1052 ?? Because my friend bought it and wants to root it too. Also if you are a 1052 user, did you receive the 4.4.4 update or are you still stuck on 4.4.2 like me?
@FSRBIKER what Xposed tweaks do you use?

If you want to try a stock based ROM that keeps all Motorola's goodies try Kryptonite. There's a patch for the UK XT1052 retail to get it to work.

Xposed Modules, Gravity Box has most options from Roms built in, Apps Ops for controlling apps permissions, MinMinGuard for ad blocking, I'm experimenting with Intelli3G(on Play Store) right now to switch phone to 2G when screen is off then to LTE or Wifi when the screen is on to save battery. I've used Twisty Switch and XYZToolbox also.

First, make sure you paste the entire thing into notepad, and then erase all spaces so it is one single contiguous string. If it still doesn't work, try a different browser!

It is possible that your carrier has instructed Moto to not release the BL unlock code for their devices. All I can suggest is re-running the get unlock data command, triple-checking it, trying again, and then possibly trying on another computer.
In addition, the Moto website is known to be 'glitchy' sometimes, so you might try tomorrow and it could work immediately.
Sorry, this is all the advice I have for you.
Good Luck
EDIT: Also, you probably already know, but it should ONLY be the data, in one string. Remove the [bootloader] text and only have the data itself.

[Q] Root Moto X 4.4.4 Verizon!???

Method to root Moto X Android 4.4.4 Verizon.?

1. Did you bother searching? You might not be the first person to ask.
2. Buy a developer edition and sell your phone or take a chance with the middleman in China to unlock your bootloader.

Boot into recovery and flash one of the su zips that corresponds to the root app of your choice. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, then you can't root.

I don't think Verizon is pushing it to every one yet, so if you are not part of the Soak, that is why your phone says its up to date.
You can grab the OTA zip being sent as SOAK and manually flash it. (see HERE and HERE) BUT know that if you have a locked bootlaoder, you can't root it.

5.0 update Motorola?

When the Moto X 2013 came how, how fast was it when motorola updated the phone to the latest version? I mean say the Nexus 5 got 4.0 on Nov 1st. How soon after did Motorola update the Moto X to 4.0?

um
I read an artical saying motorola has made a website to show which devices will get the new update and i think it said it should get it around nov. 3

I wouldn't expect the process to be the same.
The Moto X was a new approach for Google/Motorola at the time.
A lot of lessons have been learned since then.
I think they finally 'get' that updating phones to the newest platform as quickly as possible is in their benefit.
All this fragmentation is like a rash that won't go away and they don't like it at all. We consumers don't either.
As a result, Google has been pressing other phone manufacturers like Samsung and HTC to release updates to their skinned devices quicker, so it would be kind of stupid if they didn't lead by example in this area.
It's my hunch that Lollipop will be released on Motorola devices very quickly....but it's just a hunch.

I think your hunch is right. I just got an email for some test software

Plus, they sent out the L preview was ahead of time and have updated it. Which means not just developers have been able to work with it, but OEMS as well. They may not have the final L version, but they've been able to work with L in some way since June. That gives them a great head start that they didn't have before.

Same here. I unrooted (after rooting earlier with jcase's supersu boot img) according to instructions and flashed stock recovery/boot image, but the bootloader is still showing "Software status: Modified." Does anybody know if there will be an issue with the OTA because of that or if there's anyway to get that to disappear without a factory reset?

Nope, you'll get your ota just fine as long as your system files are not modified, you have stock recovery and kernel. Unlocked boot loader is not an issue.

Root is almost available for the DT but BL unlock is not guaranteed yet so no one can say if DT owners (like myself) will even be able to flash anything. Good question though.

Were those turbos XT1250s? Because nothing has been shown about someone working on BL unlock for the DT (XT1254)......yet. but ofc the XT1250s are already unlocked but not the XT1254s which is the model I believe he was asking about.

Probably not this simple, but if we get root maybe the bootloader from one of these prototypes can be copied to a turbo using a dd command. Then we would all have unlocked bootloaders

That would not work because it is not signed by moto. The ONLY things that matter are: 1) Signed vs unsigned packages and 2) bootloader exploits. Some BL exploits require root, most do now since they have gotten advanced. I miss the days of hardware level exploits and stuff. No more though. Root will likely be needed for a BL unlock and I would assume once root drops people will start working on one. Jcase has unlocked many motos and I would assume he will work on one when he has time (he is sick and very busy).
So root will not allow a BL unlock by itself. I am not even sure if this root exploit removes /system write protection. Some don't. We just have to wait and see.

I was busy last week, but if there will be BL unlock for Verizon Droid Turbo, then I'll make the CM12 / CM12.1 universal.

If you dump the package yourself I would imagine it would no longer have the same check sum no? Jcase has said this about many devices and then out of nowhere released exploits. I am not asking him to, I am just saying he enjoys doing this and is really, really good at it. I can see him collaborating with the root author to develop a proper exploit if it does not already exist. Either way, this root probably won't be released for another few weeks, if ever.

No, if you dump the bootloader yourself, it will be signed with the exact same certificates as when it was compiled. As a quick demonstration, take a device (not the Turbo) and download a custom kernel for it.
Check (and make note of) the MD5 checksum. Then install it.
Boot it once or twice, messing around with it. Then dump it (via
Code:
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
) and compare the MD5 of your dumped image to that of the one that had not yet been installed. Zero difference.
