Worth unlocking for Lollipop? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I bricked my first Moto X sadly.. Now I'm a bit scared to unlock again, but I would really like L on my XT1092.. There's no Update in sight, so I'm considering converting. Is it worth it?

How did you brick it? Did you return it?

Will this work?

Hi guys, i have some questions and hope you could help me.
I bought a galaxy mini a while ago, and of course i was wondering if i could change the rom.Mine is in the picture , hope it helps. It updated a few days ago with samsung keys to 2.3.4. The problem is that it's locked in orange. It has a lot of crap that i dont want or use. The thing is, can i flash it if it's locked?And can you give me a few pointers on how to do that?
Thanks

You can sim unlock your device and then flash the rom --You can pay few buck and get it unlocked online or maybe there are some around your locality--... This way the rom will surely work...
Note: I haven't trying doing either and what you do is at your own risk!!
So this wont work until i sim-unlock it?

[Q] Bricked Razr I

Hello to all and sorry for approximate English!!!
I have bricked my razr I after to have used RSD lite and at the time of restarting that this has never restarted!!!
Now I have a green diode which ignites during a few seconds then 2 rumble and it off.
Thus RSD lite does not re-know it any more, once connected on a PC, I just have the right(law) for the green led lit(switched on) longer!!!!
And sometimes my PC tries to install a driver MEdfield which it never finds!!!
It can it be a solution?
Have you other solution ?
did u downgrade from JB to ICS with rsd lite? Than your Razr i is one giant brick. At the moment there is no solution for that.
And if u didnt do that, i am sorry, i dont know the solution.

Effectively, I am pass of ICS then JB then ICS then JB with no problem at all, my problem has place during one update with JB under RSD LITE That this made these 11 stages normally then at the time of restarted the such has never restarted!!
At the material level the solution it is what to change the motherboard mother of the such and if yes how many cost?

I did the same brick, with unlocked bootloader. Then i sent it to the warranty and said that an cable update failed. After 10 days, they said it was totally dead, then they gave me a totally new Razr i, with the box and everything.
Since the werent able to make it run, they didn't know the bootloader was unlocked.

Don't worry my phone was unlocked and rooted and they still fixed it because the carrier here in UK fix it themselves most of the time and don't send back to Motorola

[Q] New Moto X hoping for unlock Bootloader, avoid OTA's ?

Just picked up a new ATT Moto X yesterday and hoping someone figures out how to unlock the Bootloader.
Would it be best to not take any OTA's ( like the camera update OTA ) and any future OTA's ? My thought is that the people working on figuring out an unlock are prob working on the original first ROM since release.
If anyone here is trying to crack the bootloader, are you working mainly with the original ROM ?
Thanks,
J
just bumping this for some fresh eyes maybe
thx

Your boot loader will never be unlocked, go to the original development threads and look for pawnmymoto or slapmymoto, root method for permanently locked boot loaders

Yes, I was told the same for my Razr M, then of course, someone figured it out 6-7 months after release.
Never is a term I see crushed so many times by the geniuses on XDA, so I hold out hope !!.... :good:

Moto X Root 4.4.2 Verizon

Hey guys, I have a non-dev Verizon Moto x, and I was wondering if there's a way to root my phone. I am on 4.4.2 and CANNOT unlock the bootloader
Thanks guys!

Sorry to say but the answer is no. There is no known root path or exploit available to the public at this time for 4.4.2. The only option is an unlocked boot loader.
no downgrade to 4.4 possible?
no... bootloader in 4.4.2 is different from 4.4. check the threads... there's been many failures of bricked devices because of it.
unlock the bootloader. go pay that chinese guy the $40'ish bucks for the unlock code. got my code overnight. straight up and legit.
aldouse's info is correct.
I would just add one thing... paying ~$40 on the Chinese site selling unlock codes appears to no longer be an option. Seller is not responding. And rumor is that Moto caught up to the person.
Aw man I wish I knew about that seller while it worked. I would of loved to have done that. Looks like were SOL now OP

Yup. Unless you can sell your X on swappa, craigslist, ebay, etc... and use the money towards buying a Developer Edition X for Verizon.
Well, thanks for the help guys. If anything does come up please let me know. Thanks!!

No root ain't so bad on the x.
I think I have an idea for obtaining root on it...kind of use the stock recovery as the exploit

Oh, @Trpik4 btw, the Chinese Website/Middleman is back. See -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/china-middleman-t2751177
Honestly I haven't found a reason to root this device, it runs amazing. Probably the only thing I would end up doing it blocking ads and that doesn't support the content creators

Not straight up and legit. Stolen codes from moto! You want unlocked and root buy a ****ing developer edition. If everyone bought developer editions maybe carriers would be more likely to offer unlocked.

Moto X 4.4.3 back to 4.4.2

hi
so i got a Moto X T mobile unlocked with 4.4.3
there is any chance to return to 4.4.2???
i really need to put 4.4.2 EU instead of 4.4.3 o 4.4.4 Retail usa
thanks
No, don't do it. Downgrading causes bricks. You must always use same version or newer.
