Hi All! I've installed the rooted stock 4.4.4 image that @gokart2 has made available (great work, btw!) and it's working great, except for one thing -- the built-in version of Titanium Backup is having problems reading my license file, and even after buying the PRO version from the play store, it still doesn't make any of the PRO/donate features available. Is anybody else having this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Dave

Did you try uninstalling TiB/U and the Pro key and then reinstalling them from the playstore?

Because @gokart2 made it built-in, you can't uninstall it, at least I haven't found a way to do it yet.

is there some reason you need to use a rooted stock image? Why not just root your phone by hand? It takes all of 10 minutes to do it and you can install TiBU from the playstore and it will work fine.

Because when I went looking for a stock image to revert to from the CM11 nightly, that was the only one that I could find. If you can point me to a fully stock version of 4.4.4 for the Sprint 1st Gen, I'd be happy to flash that

Just checked here and it looks like 4.4.2 is the last sbf for Sprint. Has Sprint Moto X not been updated to 4.4.4 yet?
According to Sprint, 4.4.4 was released on 8/20/2014

OK, well I don't know why there is no sbf yet. I know a poster here would make unofficial FXZs before the SBFs were released but I don't know how he did it.
I think I am going to test returning to stock 4.4.2 after having my bootloader upgraded to 4.4.4 and then either taking the 4.4.4 OTA or using the Motorola Device Manager to update me to 4.4.4 on an unlocked Verizon device. If it works I will let you know.
I still have to make sure I understand how the OTA updater script works versus Motorola Device Manger b/f I do it.
I have a 4.4.2 rooted nandroid that I can return to and unroot. Do you have any nandroids of your system on 4.4.2?
Edited - just found what I was looking for:

you CAN reapply the ota after flashing back to 4.4. the updater script sees that the motoboot parts and gpt are already upgraded and just skips them; you will not brick.

Thanks - can you confirm for me that I can revert back to a 4.4.2 nandroid and take the 4.4.4 OTA again on Verizon unlocked bootloader? I know I can go back to my 4.4.2 nandroid after upgrading to 4.4.4 b/c I have done it several times. When I do, presumably everything goes back to 4.4.2 but the bootloader and partition table, which stay on 4.4.4. And since the OTA updater script will see that I am on 4.4.4 bootloader and partition table, it will just skip patching those and just patch the files that are on 4.4.2., so I can take the 4.4.4 OTA again, correct?
Thanks!

Sorry those quotes were from other threads - I was just quoting you b/c I have never done these things myself yet and I am going off of what you were saying and you were saying it in those posts better than I could and so I quoted you. I just wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying b/c a lot of people here claim you will brick your device if you do that. I don't think that is true just confirming it.

Because when I was on 4.4.2 rooted, I did a nandroid but then flashed the 4.4.2 system and recovery to return to stock and then took the 4.4.4 OTA. Then when I went to restore my texts messages using Titanium Backup from my 4.4.2 nandroid, it restores them perfectly BUT I can no longer receive texts. I can send texts fine, but I can't receive them.
When I restored my texts I selected data only and also had the correct settings in preferences but for whatever reason no one has been able to tell me, Titanium B/U messes with the 4.4.4 messanging app or maybe my APNs? Idk, but I have reproduced this about 5 times now everytime it is exactly the same - I cannot receive texts after restoring my texts from my 4.4.2 nandroid.
I then tried SMS b/u and restore and it can't restore all of my old texts. So now I want to go back to my 4.4.2 nandroid, unroot, return to stock recovery and then take the 4.4.4 OTA to keep my texts. I can't think of any other way to do it.

Hmm, did you at any point switch from stock mms app to hangouts app for sms?
Maybe go back to working config and switch to hangouts for sms, then reply to the texts through hangouts so they are backed up that way.
Not sure this will work, but worth a shot...
I don't have a problem with you quoting me, just don't understand why you were asking for verification.

I did but then I undid that and same result. Then I restored from a 4.4.4 nandroid that was made before I did that. After restoring my texts again using TiBU, still the same problem.
But if I restored using SMS B/U and Restore, I could send and receive texts but SMSBU&R can't restore all of my texts for me nor can it tell me which texts it can't restore. It just tells me the number that it can't restore.
Clearly TiBU is doing more than just restoring my texts but I can't figure out what it is doing.

Because you are the only poster here who will say you won't brick if you downgrade your system after upgrading your bootloader and who will say that trying to downgrade the partition table and bootloader won't brick, it will just fail. Everyone else tells people they will brick. I just wanted to confirm that I really understood what you were saying b/c what you are saying is the complete opposite of what every other person here who gives advice says.
The others just say across the board - downgrading or attempting to downgrade will brick.
I realize that your comments are specific to those with unlocked bootloaders, but others here will make no distinction and say across the board that you will brick if you attempt to downgrade or if you upgrade then go back to an earlier system and then take the OTA.
Basically what has happened is a guy who used to post here and no longer does said that even those with unlocked bootloaders can't downgrade without bricking, which is false, but it has been repeated here so many times in all of the stickies and so many threads that people think it is true and just keep repeating it and repeating it and repeating it.
I just needed more reassurance that I understood you correctly given that others have posted misinformation here repeatedly to the point it is now accepted as fact when it is not true. Thanks.

SUCCESS!!! Kind of.
I returned to my 4.4.2 nandroid, disabled the Xposed Installer, flashed the stock recovery, unfroze all of the apps I had frozen, including Motorola OTA, and unrooted. Then I took the 4.4.4 OTA again and had all of my texts, woot!!
HOWEVER, I still can't receive texts!!!!!! I found this thread on AC and it seems like others have this problem too after taking the 4.4.4 OTA. Drats. At least now I know it isn't TiBU.
Well at least I know I can downgrade and take an OTA fine.

I apologize for just seeing this. You should have PM'd me, I would have walked you through it. All you need to do is download a file explorer app (like ES file explorer), and go to system/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk and delete it. Then re-install from the play store.

This isn't a flashable zip, it's a collection of fastboot partition images a.k.a Fastboot Xml Zip (FXZ). There are many tutorials on how to use them...
On my Moto Maxx, I've been stuck on the Brazilian LXG22.33-12.7 Update and I haven't been able to update to any of other rooms posted. I believe this build is a soak test. How would I got about updating my device, preferably without wiping my data(I'm familiar with adb but I need to know which update I should sideload)? Please help this update is soooooooooooooooooooooooo buggy.
Thank you so much in advance!!!
There should be an update to the soak file that will get you to the current rev, finding it could be tough though.
You might be better off flashing the full 5.0.2 image and just not wiping data. At that point there would just be a small update which is rolling out right now which you would get automatically.
You can download the full Brazil 5.0.2 image here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/75n...22.33-12.13_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
It can be flashed with RSDlite but you'll need to edit the XML file before hand to remove the entry where it deletes userdata. Or it can be flashed manually with mfastboot.
I might have the update to the soak file which would be the easiest, I will look for it when I get a chance this evening or tomorrow.

Just did the fastboot method and it works! Thank you! I tried adb sideloading the new update, however and it stops at 72% and fails with a status 7. Any ideas on why?
That I am not sure of. I installed the update using the recovery menu and it installed just fine. Maybe give that a shot, no adb required.
Also when thanking people on XDA it's great if you can click the "thanks" button under the post.

Actually I figured it out, turns out I wasn't flashing ALL of the files through fastboot haha. Now up and running fine.
I am in the same boat stuck on Brazilian LXG22.33-12.7 . would mind explaining how you updated to newest version. thanks
I got it. thanks. I flash with fastboot on a mac and it's working great. thanks
Got this OTA after doing an ODIN of EPF1 to my phone. Baseband is updated to match, unsure about bootloader but I doubt it. If someone wants a ROM dump and is willing to tell me how....
I got this update pushed to me also.
Question for anyone who knows: If you flash this do you lose the ability to install custom low level software (firmware, recoveries, etc)?

It's possible, our S6 won't get locked on any 6.0 firmware's
Maybe on 7.0 if we get it. but not 6.0

I'm downloading the complete TAR image from Sammobile, but due to finances I don't have the means to pay for the full speed..
So I'm downloading at the slow method.. If someone else has not uploaded the image, I will upload it by late tonite..
I'm still having issues with the damn Upload it gives me last second errors when I step away to do another task..
I'm making my final attempt to upload it onto my Android File Host... It should be up by morning if it uploads correctly.. Just Look For Zaphodspeaks in Android File Host if I haven't posted it yet..
I have many tasks to do this week ends.. Mainly upkeep the the old house and updating some of the old wiring while its getting cooler..
Finally, I uploaded the Image.. I had to recompress it since it kept giving me errors at the very end, just unzip and install in ODIN
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237823
Got my phone rooted, custom rom, and kernel that I was using before, no problem.
Last night (9/27) I got a firmware update for my factory USA unlocked 920T. Sammobile shows it was released on 9/26. It was a 50MB file that updated the Android secruity patch date to Sept. 1. No other changes. I noticed the Samsung Smart Manager app/widget shows I'm using 5% less memory now. I don't know if it's better RAM management or Samsung modified the app/widget to show different figures LOL. I suspect the t-mobile 920T will get the update soon.

hey guys I was able to get the modem pulled from a moto z2 that has the ocx27.1 update.. if you run this flash all it will reinstall ocx27 with the latest modem allowing you to once again use your phone.
Please note that this will wipe your phone
Also note that your baseband will stay empty untill your phone fully boots up into android

There isn't one. You need to flash NE3 and then update to 5.0.1.
