Sorry to be a pain but I'm stuck , searched everywhere first.

Well have you tried tapping the build number in About Tablet multiple times for the Dev options?

As for titanium backup, you should clear all data and cache, uninstall and reinstall. If it still doesn't recognize it, maybe there was a fault in your rooting process

Is superSU installed?
So I'm seeing these articles about the sprint moto x getting an update but I haven't received or seen much talk about the sprint version on here getting that update. Is it still only hitting certain areas? Could someone maybe get us sprint users that are unlocked get a stock system.img and boot.img with that update applied?

Please god. I've been trying to find ANYTHING that can put this update on my phone. Nobody has posted the update.zip or any of the images or anything. I've seen people say they've received the update, but that's about it. I really want this update.
Minus the release notes I have seen very little about this update from anyone that has it. I would like to hear what people are seeing.

Ok so I got the update a few days ago and it failed to install because I'm unlocked and rooted and all that jazz. So I grabbed the zip file out of /cache and uploaded it here:
https://db.tt/oqP3l1Qs
For what it's worth, the last few times I've checked for an update, my phone says I'm up to date even though I'm still on 4.2.
Edit: Dropbox instead of Drive
Edit: Just realized this zip is the same software version I already have. Then why did my phone tell me it was an update to be downloaded?
Sent from my XT1056 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know it isn't much help but I was in the Sprint Store yesterday and their demo phone had the update sitting ready to install. They wouldn't let me get ahold of it and take it off though. Could have very easily done so in a few minutes.

I flashed the stock system.img and recovery.img flashed this file and it flashed successfully....You have something here....
Im booting up right now right after flashing to read my build prop and build number...Will also check camera performance.
Someone please go to their about phone section and tell me their kernel version, everything in their please, post an SS!
Someone posted that the initial roll-out was a test run and only sent to a fraction of Sprint users. The main roll-out is supposed to happen on October 2.

If you a running a sprint Moto X, could you take an SS of your about phone sections so I could see your system and kernel version please. The update I just installed has appeared to upgraded my kernel version as well, and I want to make sure I am accurate when I say that.

Interesting. The name of the zip says 139.12.2 but it brought you up to 139.14.4. I guess it was mislabeled.

Anyway to install the OTA zip without root? Never done that and don't want to root just yet.
EDIT* Never mind... found out how to enter recovery mode and select update from zip without rooting the device.
Confirmed as well - this is 139.14.4

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use this update on Verizon branded Moto X's? I don't know if this update includes radios or basebands. Also, where the hell is the tmobile apk for the camera??
Update applied. Worked just fine just like the other guy said. Anyone who wants the update can do this through stock recovery.

So can I get the step by step instructions to apply this manually. I have downloaded the file from the drop box link here in this thread. I do not have rot nor is my boot loader unlocked. I can get phone into recovery via fast boot and selecting recovery but all I get is an android laying down with an error stating no command. I have moved the file to the root of my SD card but am unable to put it into cache obviously without root access.

I just flashed I537UCUBMI2, this is the first 4.3 for i537, but I found I can't root it! I can't remove the AT&T software and add Chinese language.
I was just want to give up, lucky, I use one Chinese software called “ROOT大师”, you can just search "VRoot" with Google. Now my phone is rooted, and I have removed all the annoying software.
Good luck.
Can you provide a link for this root method and a tutorial on how you used it? This way there is no confusion for anyone. I for one would appreciate it because I've been on mf1 for months now and have wanted to flash the mi2 leak but I've been waiting patiently for root.

Sorry to reply late, because I am in China.
I will show you the steps in brief.
1. Just flash leaked I537UCUBMI2
2. Go to setting, enable the USB debug. Just like other Android 4.X phone, I noticed we should tick always enable to connect to this computer.
3. Install the "root master", this is a Chinese software, maybe something can't display correctly in non-Unicode computers.
Software download:
REMOVED
After install this software, open this software, connect your phone to your computer, maybe need to install some drivers.
4. Just simply click "一键ROOT"， the green button, the phone will restart 2 times, and after that, your phone is rooted.
After your Phone is rooted. The software will show:"三星I537已经拥有ROOT权限“
Sorry, because I cannot post pictures. Just follow the steps, you can make it.
Thanks for replying. I've got everything downloaded and I will try tomorrow after I get off of work. Thanks again.

Be wary of these Chinese root methods. They are known to collect your IMEI number which is not needed for a rooting process. Therefore XDA has not allowed any links to their software at this time.l

Thanks for the heads up. I figured something wasnt right about this. When i searched for this root method every site that i had found was in Chinese which made me start to think about it. Another thing that makes me wonder is that we have had this leak for awhile now and no one else has had success with root and then out of nowhere this pops up. Plus the op doesn't have very many posts here on xda. In going to play it safe and wait on something else.

Rooted anyway. 4.3 is much faster than 4.2.2. Samsung keyboard is better but still doesn't match up to real Swype imo. Battery life is remarkably better. 22 hr 40 mins with 23%. 2 hr 43 mins screen on time. Always died on me before. Seems more stable overall but watchon is broken for me.

Actually piracy is not the most important thing for me. May be this software will collect IMEI or other information, but I think they will not do anything bad, the built-in software is more annoying for me.

Kingo root method would probably be better for you than Vroot. Kingo has responded to XDA's request to remove the IMEI collection...it just not has been confirmed but they have always kept communication open with XDA.
Yes I used the Chinese software.

I didn't even look I just installed SuperSU over it. Works perfectly.

Thanks for suggesting Vroot, tried it on friend's S4 active and worked like charm. Although it installed unnecessary app to manage data when connected to PC which i removed using titanium.

I tried it and it works good. After I rooted it I downloaded SuperSU and ROM Toolbox pro and froz VROOT so it wouldnt come back and try something. No problems running AT&T SGH-I537 4.3.3 rooted...
Xperia Z1s got an OTA update yesterday...And I was wondering if I could update and still re-root..Or if I'd keep the root.. I've done this on other phones before But the Z1s I'm not so sure about..
From another thread [quote name="ptoner" post=54472834]Just got notification on O2 (UK) that 4.4.4 update is available OTA.<br />
<br />
Before I install, can anyone confirm if this OTA update will preserve my towelroot root?[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Don't worry about it, the new 4.4.4 FW is easily rooted using newroot from munjeni. Look in the development section, its a 1 click solution and will install recovery as well.<br/>
So this will work with the Z1s?

I used to run the Tmobile support forums a few years ago. We used to get the same builds from most of the Canadian Operators would get but with different build numbers and they would work (at least for samsung and htc devices). There were some minor differences such as wifi calling but for the most part the devices share the same hardware and software tweeks for US based GSM operators and Canadian ones. I dont have much experience on sony devices though.
The update is 14.4.B.0.37
I haven't installed it yet because Rooting the Z1s was tricky to begin with And I don't wanna do something I'll regret

Create a FTF for the old version, then when you upgrade if there is a problem with root you can flash the FTF and re root on the FW you are on now

I don't think this is real. Someone else would have gotten it over the span of two days since this thread was started. Xperiablog never even reported on it. And he is ignoring everyone's request to at least post a screenshot. I hope in wrong, but this seems a bit improbable.

You have to excuse our skepticism... it's just that we've been waiting for KitKat for over half a year, with no sign of it whatsoever, and then you tell us that your phone is being sent the update. I really do want to believe you, more than anything else. Is there any way for you to upload that screenshot?
Ive been waiting too And I feel like it was a glitch I remember the update being around 356mbs I was debating updating because I couldn't make calls.. Came here learned about getting an ftf file if any thing went wrong so i just went ahead and and installed the update but it didn't work so now I dont even know anymore..But i am looking for thr screenshot I took of it

You have to be 100 percent stock for ota to install.
Upload ota to a file provider.
My only question is how only one person would receive the update I have Google it and that ota doesn't exist.
If you need the stock ftf I have it.

You can also install it through ADB (or `pm` from a terminal emulator), that'll directly give you the exact error.
