I have read the threads on the latest OTA update for the Pure Edition and I am confused on how to proceed. I am running System Version 22.11.6 Build Number LXE22.39.-6 and have got an OTA for 22.21.11.en.US, but it has failed of course. I am rooted with CF-Auto Root, the version from the middle of November, and have stock recovery.
What I am seeking to do is update to 22.21.11.en.US and not lose my apps or data.
What is the correct procedure for updating? Thanks Guys!!
I was on the first soak test build for lollipop and when the .6 build came out (the one that your on) I couldn't update unless I downgraded to 4.4.4 then re upgraded to lollipop OTA but it took a day for the OTA to show on my phone .....im pretty sure you have to do the same from .6 to .11 so https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images follow the steps on Motorola's website here really simple process just a few commands, but it will wipe your device
Since you're rooted, just run Titanium backup, return to 4.4.4, then apply .6 update and .11 update. (The .11 we have so far is only a delta from .6 -- not the full OTA)
edit: Apparently the full kitkat->lollipop .11 OTA is out there... hooray!
Do not use the instructions on Motorola factory images website
That website is missing a subtle command, that will make your OTA fail. I had that problem.
This line is missing.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
The OTA checks for the integrity of the modem and fails otherwise.

You can try ADB backup for backing up all your apps and restore after OTA. This way the restore process works even after unrooting.

I was rooted on .6 and had to go to 4.4.4. I received the OTA to .11. It was a 576 MB or so update. So there are 2 update OTA depending on what version you are running.

Ok. I have a few questions and requests.
First, this would be my first downgrade I have ever done, do I have to relock the bootloader and/or unroot first?
Second, what are the exact steps and commands in order to downgrade. I know you said they are Motorola's website, but just to be safe, and with the modem command added in, I would feel much better and be appreciative if someone provided that for me.
Third, I am on the US pure edition, which version of 4.4.4. would I need to download from Motorola's website? I've forgotten which version it came with.
Fourth, I was never a soak tester and I am on .6. Why can't I do a direct upgrade to .11 such as what is discussed here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-pure-edition-lollipop-5-0-t2932625
Another Approach?
And what about this approach to upgrading from .6. to .11? Could this work?

For whatever reason you can never have been rooted to update your ROM. So i followed the steps below to get back to stock for the update.
Go to http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php and grab the 4.4.4 stock image. Extract and place in platforms-tools folder with fastboot.
After downloading the image for your device:
Put your device in fastboot mode.
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
Hope this helps. Copied and pasted the commands from Motorola.

@Matthewlawson3
you can't downgrade the bootloader so omit that step. it won't make the OTA fail.
i'd recommend erasing userdata and cache.
once you do this, you should get the official full OTA that you can check for in the settings menu and apply. good luck.

So motoboot.img is the bootloader? That is the command you don't want me to enter?
I need to type in all the commands in that exact sequence, correct? Where does one enter the fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin in the sequence of commands?
I would prefer not to lose my apps and data if it can be avoided. I do have Titanium Backup and could if need be, but what are the downsides to not erasing usercache and cache?
Thanks for your help on this!!!

I've never used the Motorola Fastboot utility. How does one acquire it and how do you set it up? I've only use the Android fastboot in the platform-tools folder.
Also, which build of 4.4.4. do I choose from on graffinxnyc's website? 4.4.4 Build: KXE21.187-42 Full Restore Images?

I have got the image for 4.4.4 (TMO_21.21.42.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US) from Motorola for the US Pure Edition, through the request process. Can I run these commands using regular fastboot from the android SDK platform-tools folder or must I use fastboot found in the Motorola 4.4.4 image? If I must use Motorola fastboot, what is the process for getting that setup before I go into a command prompt and enter the commands?
If I use the Motorola fastboot can I just copy the needed files into the Windows folder found in the Motorola image folder and then open a command prompt there to enter the commands? Is it that easy? I do not have a mfastboot file in the Windows folder in the image.

After doing some research, I have placed the fastboot.exe from the Motorola image in the Android-SDK platform-tools folder, but before I placed it in there, I renamed it mfastboot.exe, so as not to clash with the android fastboot.exe. When I type in the command prompt "mfastboot," I get a list of commands. Does this indicate everything is working correctly? And if so, when I type in the commands to perform the downgrade will I type in "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot" with every command?

Thank You for your help man. Everything is up and working. Felt like i had a paper weight on my hands
Why flash back to the 4.2.2 camera OTA with an unlocked bootloader?
I have a stock pure edition Moto X 2014, I received the update today. It downloads fine, but when it tries to install, it Error, and then reboots, and tells me the install is unsuccessful. This has happened 3 times. I'm rooted, but everything else is stock. How do I troubleshoot or attempt to resolve. I don't even know where to go from here. Thanks for any help!
Can't be rooted. You need a stock system partition.
crap, thanks for the reply. I was worried that was the case. Can I go back?

Thanks so much! You are awesome.
For anyone else with this issue, here is how I solved this.
-Download mfastboot v2 from here, extract into your ADB folder.
-Download "Official 4.4.4 Full Restore Images" from http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php# and extract. Move recovery.img, boot.img, and system.img into adb folder
-Boot into fastboot, plug in USB
-Using mfastboot v2, run the following commands:
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
Reboot and the update should now work. Good luck.

If you cant access bootloader fastboot and the device is only black screen and the green light notification you have HARD BRICK.
this means you have downgread the device and you try to update ota to newer version.
If you do this you bricked your phone and there is no solution.
If not try to charge your battery for long time and after try to boot on fastboot mode.
Oh sorry you have xt1053?
This is not moto x 2014.
What device do you have?
Moto g,moto x1 ?
The tread is for moto x2.

Youmust ask in xt1053 tread if someone know what can you do.

Hold power and volume up for turn off the device first and afte try combination buttons for fastboot bootloader mode.
Hi,
I have a Brazilan version XT1097, bootloader unlocked but no root yet.
I cannot install anything from play store because I get an error that does not say much.
All I did was trying to root using a guide I found that tells you to use CF-Autoroot, but it just did not work.
Then I installed TWRP to see if there was any ROMs available since I came from the Nexus 5 and was used to see tons of ROMs on xda to grab and flash.
To my surprise, none is available so far.
Now I am trying to find the original 1097 images to flash on my device and go back to stock.
Might even give up on root, if necessary, but I need the phone back
Any ideas on how to proceed?
A different problem now
The user seco2004 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4946010) has provided me with his backup image.
I followed the steps on the motorola website to flash all the files but my phone is stuck at the bootloader warning message, that one that says that the bootloader is unlocked.
When I entered TWRP to wipe all over again, it says there is no system installed...
Any pointers are most welcome!

I'm not sure if this is what you tried before, but there's pretty much no chance of anything going wrong if you follow the commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img (maybe you missed this part? instead of the "system.img", you need to flash the system files one at a time, something like: mfastboot flash system systemfile_1.img, the mfastboot flash system systemfile_2.img, and then proceed with the commands below)
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem config carrier vzw

After all this the phone should boot normally into stock 4.4.4. Sorry for the delay, Tapatalk didn't notify me , hope you got it fixed already.

It was actually the KK 4.4.4 original images.
I had to update to lollipop right after via OTA.
IDK if secco2004 allows me to share it. Could you PM him, please?
He posted recently on the topic.
Yeah, it was actually the 4.4.4 Brazilian firmware, feel free to share it. For lollipop I have just the flasheable zip.

It is the XT1097 4.4.4 brazilian original images.
hey, can I have XT1097 stock images please?
I also need it
I flashed NX CM12.1 v3.0 rom and lost gps.
Someone in the thread said that i have to go back to stock, verify gps is working properly... blah, blah, blah.....
So the thing is that i don´t know what stock image to use on my phone and where to get it.
It is a XT1097.
Can any of you guys help me?
Need help please
I've flashed ATT_XT1097_5.0.2_system_ ext4_ root.zip using Mofo.exe and followed directions to the T but soon as its done flashing I reboot back into fastboot mode to wipe the cache but gives me error hab check failed for recovery failed to validate recovery image boot up failed. Please any help would be a life savor i'm lost. Anyone know where to find recovery.img file for Moto X XT1097 stock image file maybe I can flash in fastboot mode? I just hope I Dont have a bricked device. I am stuck in bootloop mode and can't wipe cache.
Thanks!
I really thank you, it worked for me! :good:
let me explain what exactly happened. l was running LiquidSmooth v3.2 on my Moto X. I have flashed few roms previously as well. I was facing no issues whatsoever but still wanted to upgrade to LiquidSmooth v4.0. So this time when I got on fastboot menu
and chose recovery, I got invalid kernel/ ramdisk size error. I was not able to enter recovery menu and this has happened to me for the first time. I chose normal reboot and then even the phone was working fine. But now, things have gone worse. I entered fastboot menu again and by mistake chose factory option instead of recovery. Phone started rebooting i think. As i had installed LiveLog app on my phone all I could see was logs on the screen. I waited for around 45 minutes but phone didnt boot up. I switched off and restarted again but same result. I think it is bricked. Is there any way I can get my phone back to working state? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Step Two
Returning device Stock and Locking Bootloader
1. Open your firmware and extract the files to the same folder as adb/fastboot and mfastboot.
2. open a CMD window and CD into the directory that we just extracted all the files too
3. type below commands one by one
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem lock
i recommend wiping your device also but that is up to you if you dont want
to then skip the next two commands and just type the reboot command
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
after your phone is done rebooting you will be completely stock firmware of your choice
Enjoy

you can def do that but if you want to try to bring it back to life without going to stock you can try this.
Flash your custom recovery again threw fastboot. then after that if you can boot into it just reinstall LS rom and try and boot your phone up if no luck then just follow the above guide from my thread and return to stock and redo everything
Thanks for the help guys. I have a question here : Will returning to stock undo root ? And do I have to unlock the bootloader again ??

Yes Root Romoved, don't use last command "fastboot oem lock" if you want bootloader still unlocked
Sound advice above... Except there's no reason to lock your bootloader again. I'd skip that part. And remain unlocked. ?
Thanks a lot. I will try this method today and then flash LiquidSmooth v4.0. Just in case if I face any problem, I'll be back.

I'm facing problems downloading the firmware from the filefactory. Is there any mirror link ?
Also, for this operation do I have to use this file only or can I use LiquidSmooth v3.2 file as well?

what carrier is your phone from i will try and find a good like for the stock firmware.
but like i said i would try to just flash the custom recovery and see if you can boot into it. if you can you might not have to go back to completely stock from the recovery you can iinstall liquid smooth rom. it has its own kernel so it should fix the kernel issue and system issues. if not then you can go back to flashing everything to stock.
It didn't come with any carrier. I bought it here in India.
Sorry for the noobie question here, but does USB debugginv needs to be on for this, as I dont remember if its on or not.
Also, can you please guide me through the steps so that I do not make any mistakes this time. I'm really scared this time and I don't wanna hard brick my phone. I'd be really very thankful.

Thank you for your help, guys.
I think I am back to factory because I'm no longer getting the LiveLogs on the boot up screen. I'm getting the stock Motorola bootup screen that means LiveLogs and all other apps have been removed. But again, I'm still stuck on boot. Its not going past Motorola logo.
One more thing, while returning back to recovery, on cmd screen I was getting <bootloader> Variable not supported error.

No. USB Debugging does not need to be on when using RSDLite or mFastboot.

At this point, I would consider redoing the steps outlined by @dray_jr earlier in this thread.. with a few tweaks...
its important to be using the correct ROM for your phone. Is there fine print on the back of your phone, does it say XT1052? If so, the link to the Asia XT1052 4.4.4 rom should be correct.
Next... use mfastboot for ALL parts, not just system.img, and follow these steps.. Yes, the are very similar to what you did already, and yes, i know some are repeated, that is intentional.
mfastboot getvar max-download-size
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot reboot
OPTIONAL, but in your case might be necessary: just before the final mfastboot reboot command, issue... mfastboot erase userdata this will erase your apps and data.
If any of these commands fail, please make sure you capture it and post it. (NOTE: there is a way to select and copy on the text from the CMD Prompt window, please do that, rather than screen shot)
Once your phone boots up properly, it will be back to stock, unrooted, but as long as you don't do the "oem lock" command with mfastboot or fastboot, your bootloader will remain unlocked. You can then flash TWRP or other custom recovery and re-root.
I was on 5.1, bootloader unlocked by sunshine. I rooted to enable tethering, and after did a full unroot. Once the OTA MM update came it couldn't install. Android on back and then rebooted. Instead of trying to fix the software, I decided to get MM from XDA. I flashed TWRP, updated bootloader from computerfreek's thread and flashed his rom for non-verizon.
Now once it turns on I can choose language. At the next page it says select wi-fi netowork, but no wifi networks show up and the Skip button is grayed out.
I followed the directions again and reflashed a few times, but the same result.
I then tried the Brazilian MM from iiwoodstock but with the same result. I flashed his with and without the linked kernal, but again, with the same results.
Any ideas? I was hoping to avoid flashing the stock images, but if that's my only option....
Well I got irritated enough and flashed stock. All is working now.
It was a pain because I only have Windows 10, so RSDLite was being irritating.
Here are the steps I wish someone had put together for me.
This is for flashing this version (and only this version) of stock by using fastboot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/dr...-official-stock-firmware-6-0-1-mcg24-t3531571
Having ADB Everywhere helps. Just install this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/15-s...ng-fast-adb-fastboot-and-driver-installation/
Make sure your drivers are installed. I needed to go to motorola to download their software to get fastboot drivers to work:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/103535/p/30,6720,9277
Have a copy of fastboot.exe
(Google it or just do a search on your computer. You probably have a copy of it somewhere if you've ever done anything to a phone)
Here is a link to the .bat file I made that will flash it without needing RSD.
https://nofile.io/f/sh00er98rzM/servicefile.bat
In case someone finds this thread and the file is no longer hosted, here it the text of the .bat file (use Notepad++ or something):
echo off
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
pause
fastboot reboot
exit
(Have phone connected in fastboot mode - power plus volume down)
1. Extract the stock image into a folder
2. Put the .bat file in that folder
3. Put a copy of fastboot.exe into the folder as well
4. double click the .bat file
(wait for it to finish. If there's errors, don't worry, it should be fine. Worry when it's worth it. This is not a big deal)
done
I figured this out primarily because of RootJunky.com's youtube video.

any reason you wanted to flash an older version and the newest?
You flashed this:
[FXZ] Official Stock Firmware 6.0.1 MCG24.251-5 (January 2017)
But this is much newer (March 2017):

No reason. That was the first one I had come across. At the time I was out of state visiting family and their internet was extremely slow.
I didn't feel like waiting another 2+ hours downloading what seemed like a minor update.
....or does it fix anything? I haven't found anything showing the reason that update was pushed
