Moto X won't update to KitKat

I purchased a Moto X today. It is currently on 4.2.2. Whenever I update it, it says that device is fully updated. I tried searching on Xda but couldn't find a relevant thread. I don't want to root it or flash a Rom, I want to avoid all that. Also I am new to Xda, if this is not the right place to post this then please let me know.

Best way would be to go to the return to stock thread and flash your carriers sbf for 4.4.4
You can flash it via mfastboot or with rsd. There is also a toolkit in the development section. Good luck and ask if you have questions.

There is no way of updating through OTA?

Being on 4.2.2, invest in Sunshine to unlock the bootloader. Why worry about OTAs when you have the option to update manually?

Once you update to 4.4.4, you will not be able to unlock your bootloader, or root. If that doesn't matter to you, then no worries.
But if you ever want to Root, unlocking your bootloader now is the best option. With Sunshine, for $25.
Sunshine won't work on 4.4.4, and you'll be stuck, with no chance to Root as of now. ?

A few questions...
Did you buy it new or used?
Can you boot into Fastboot/Bootloader mode what is listed on the 2nd line of the phone's screen?
Your screen shots indicate this is an ATT Branded XT1058. Is that correct? do you have the ATT logo on its back? do you see XT1058 in the very small fine print on the back of the phone?
That being said, IF you ever want to root, and your phone is fully on the 4.2.2 rom (including the correct bootloader version), then you will want to use Sunshine to unlock the bootloader NOW before you worry about updates. Once your phone has been updated to 4.4.4 you wont be able to bootloader unlock it.
Once you are ready to upgrade, the best option is to figure out what Android version you want, grab the correct SBF for your carrier/model/android version, and flash it. Taking OTA's are incremental. You need to install one after the other to get to the version you want to be on. SBF files are FULL/All-Inclusive roms, so you just flash the latest you want to be on, so its quicker and Easier.
One final thing.. since I've seen something like this before... IF you have the latest android sdk/platform tools installed on your PC, and USB Debugging turned on (on your phone), then while still in Fastboot/Bootloader mode, connect the phone to your PC, and do a fastboot getvar all what does your phone say for the following...
(bootloader) unlocked:
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid:
(bootloader) cid:
and does it show the proper IMEI?

Where did you buy yours??
My suggestion... if you are SURE its an ATT XT1058, use mfastbooot to flash the 4.4.2 ATT SBF, make sure the phone works, if it does, try sunshine to get the Unlocked status to 3. Then you can try flashing 4.4.4 SBF
*IF* that works, without bricking, count your self lucky.

Bought it from a shop that sells used phones. Asked the guy to give me another piece, he says he will in a couple of days when the phone is in stock again.
It is printed on the bottom backside of the phone XT1058 Designed and Assembled in the USA. So it is probably a case of improper flashing.
Also, what is SBF? And after unlocking the bootloader, do I need to root the phone to flash the 4.4.4 SBF?

SBF = full Stock Motorola signed rom.
Root isn't needed to flash a ROM.
You don't NEED to unlock the bootloader, unless you feel you want to root at some point. Because you are on XDA, its usually expected you are looking to hack and customize your phone. Most of that needs rooting. The best way to root, and ensure you can root later, is unlock the bootloader. Hence the mention of it.
If you are going to get a replacement, I wouldn't mess with this phone. I wouldn't try sunshine (as its tied to the phone, so replace your phone and you'd have to pay for sunshine again). If you try and reflash it, you could screw it up, then the seller might not take it back.
"improper flashing" has been the cause of many bricks, either immediately or down the road. So if that is truly the case (that improper flashing is the cause, or even suspected cause), I would advise you to not mess with it if you are able to return/exchange it.

Yes , your device bootloader has been unlocked.

Whats interesting is that both @RafaySid and @mateen1994 bought the phones from the same country; probably even from the same seller.
I guess the seller bought used ATT phones from USA and tried to unlock them via flashing some different custom ROM and ended up messing it up.
I've found quite a few devices in the market with this problem.

No, not from the same seller I'm pretty sure. I guess these phones are imported from abroad which have been improperly flashed or something. I sorted out my problem though.

XT1092 Bootloader unable to re-lock. Need to get replacement

Hi, i recently ordered my moto x 2014 32gb from flipkart(just in case this info help). The Model number is XT1092. I did bootloader unlock and flashed cyanogen mod. It is my mistake i didn't backup my factory images. Now i want to return the phone to flipkart. I restored my phone to factory settings using RETEUALL_XT1092_5.0_LXE22.46-19_cid7_CFC.xml image. I then did fastboot oem lock...but it gave me two errors
1. sst failure
2. need to do fastboot oem lock begin.
I did the lock begin command and flashed firmware but it resulted in failure stating PreFlash Verification failure. Please I need to return this phone, I dont want to use it anymore but i need to first lock the bootloader. What should i do.
Regards
Mohit Goyal

Does not matter, when you unlocked it was with a code through motorola's website. They know you unlocked it and the warranty is void. Relocking does not give you back your warranty. Plus after relock it is "relocked" not "locked" which is proof that it was unlocked before. There is no way to get it back to a true locked state.

You didn't purchase this device just for playing, did you? Keep in mind that by unlocking bootloader, you voided any warranty as well as your right to return this device, because you modified the system. When handling online returns, the seller usually wants 'unused' device. You could try giving it back though, but keep in mind you ruined a device even if they accept your return.

Should "device tampered" be true in order to root a phone?

Hello, I own a OnePlus 2 and had it rooted about a year ago but it got stuck on a bootloop some months ago when I tried to flash a custom rom. I then flashed the original Oxygen OS 2.2.1 which resolved the bootloop issue but removed the root. I've since tried to re-root my phone multiple times but found no success. I noticed that when i run(in cmd) "fastboot oem device-info" there is something saying "device tampered: false". Is that the reason my phone won't root? Should it be "true"? If so is there a way to make it "true"?

Not really. I have an Mi device and i root it by replacing the stock recovery with twrp during flash. So, basically i root without unlocking the bootloader. And i can flash custom roms too.
P.s. the fastboot info shows device tampered as false

actually im too suffering the same problem before installing twrp
bootloader device tempered : false
bootloader device unlocked : true

I've fixed a couple of these oneplus devices over TeamViewer sessions, and, have come to the conclusion that only oneplus devices purchased from questionable sources actually trip the tamper flag. Devices purchased from Amazon or oneplus simply should not do this
I have a oneplus 2 and my tamper bit ain't tripped
---------- Post added at 14:46 ---------- Previous post was at 14:45 ----------
I'd like to add that I've bricked my device many times to the point that I had to rely on the L2 files. These files relock the bootloader. So I've locked-unlocked my bootloader several times. I once had to lock the bootloader before sending my device in for repairs. My tamper flag never got tripped

Downgrade method still works after August patch

hey guys, been a painful 3 days lol( busy looking for a nokia 5 stock rom instead of a nb0 rom lmao!!).
The method works am now on 7. so guys go right ahead and downgrade if you wanna do it.
P.s 1. search for nbo and not stock rom
2. When the setting up comes what you need to do is click setup with no network. this way you will prevent the system from taking you straight to updates!.
Next step root and enjoy?

Please provide the link of nb0 ROM for Nokia 5 ta -1053

its also safe to downgrade Nokia ta-1024 from pie to nougat with nost bootloader will still be unlocker .

I've been out from Android Modding and Development for quite some time and I'm a little bit lost at the moment.
Where do you guys find the nb0 files and how do you select them for your devices?
I'm looking for a source for several Nokia devices; but most specific for the TA-1024
Thanks in advance.

Here is the nougat nb0 file that I use (with nost). It may fail midway through btw but don't worry if it does it happen to me often, just start again & select the wipe user data option
I m not sure you can downgrade with locked BL but I downgrade from pie with unlock easily

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Regarding that error, before you flash any room you should always clean Dalvik cache, Cache and Wipe user data. That prevents errors, and duplicate data or applications.
I couldn't find "unlock easy" to see if I can manage do unlock the bootloader. Is this a tool that can be found on the forum?
As far as I know without bootloader unlocked you're not able to flash anything, including recovery.
Fastboot will refuse any flashing options.

Already tried that.
OEM Unlock option returns 0 (even when enabled and toggled on).
Bootloader Unlock option is not present.
I see that nowadays is quite difficult to get root & unlock the bootloader.
Fastboot OEM Report:

(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

The first thing that occurrs to me is that the phone is carrier locked (even though) I can use any SIM.

That's wierd. My 1024 was piece of cake to root. I think you right that the carrier modél is a lot different to unlocked variant

Is it possible to re-lock bootloader after official unlock?

I'm doing some research before I commit to unlocking my bootloader, and I can't find anything definitive on whether or not it's possible to re-lock after unlocking with the official tool. I have experience unlocking and re-locking bootloaders, flashing custom recoveries/ROMs/kernels etc but only with Nexus and Samsung phones, so I just want to make sure I'm clear on how Nokia's setup differs (If at all). Would also be interested to find out if Nokia will still offer me OTA's with unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for any help, and feel free to move or close the thread if it matches another one that I've missed.

No, and nobody should do it. It will brick your device.
The point of a locked bootloader is to prevent unofficial software from running, and the point of unlocking it is to make that possible. So relocking the bootloader with unofficial software installed will make the phone think that the software got corrupted and rightfully lock down the device.

Basically anyone should be able to do it and it shouldn't brick your device, as per Google's bootloader recommendations. However, manufacturers decide to cripple bootloaders not to support it in the verified boot chain (where kernel verification can be explicitly made against a custom root of trust set after the device has left the factory i.e. set by the user, instead of the original root of trust). As far as I know, only Pixel devices implement this, and can be achieved by issuing the command:
Code:
fastboot flash avb_custom_key <key_blob>
I'm sure there are lots of advanced users/modders that can find this feature beneficial (if implemented by the device vendors).

I can assume that, in service centers, they are able to reflash the entire firmware including the (secondary) bootloader. They would probably boot the device into EDL mode, and flash it with stock firmware, with a properly signed Qualcomm EDL programmer, and use Qualcomm's QFIL tool to do this.
