[Q] UK moto x rooting

hi,
I can't post in the developer sections, so a question here:
Has anyone rooted their UK moto X yet? Comes with 4.4.2
the motorola chat said they expect we'll be able to unlock the bootloader but I'm not holding my breath.
But rooting? Yes please!

as of right now there is no root for 4.4.2 so you have to wait and see if someone finds a way to get root
or wait and see if you can unlock your bootloader.

piece of cake! Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
then install the xposed framework, gravity box etc and you'll be flying!

@talkingduck I have a UK moto x... How did you get your unlock code please? Tried the Motorola site but says my device is invalid...

Did you paste the numbers in one line correctly? I've heard others getting invalid responses when the numbers aren't in correctly.
Otherwise, I just followed the instructions here:

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.

Don't do it , Down grade is not possible if you will try Your Device will brick .... .

He knows all this. Please OP... Do a little research. You've seemed to mess up your phone multiple times. Spend a little time reading before you attempt things.
Just some friendly advice. ?

Return to stock

Hi i hope someone can help me i would like to go back to stock Kitkat after being on CM12 lollipop for a while but i am unsure iff i have downloaded the correct stock rom. Could someone please have a look and let me know iff i have downloaded the correct Rom. This is the rom i downloaded XT1052_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml. Before i flashed cm12 i was running Kitkat 4.4.4 and i am in the UK. I intend to do this procedure using Rsdlite.

Make sure you dont downgrade... put your phone in fastboot mode and check the bootloader version of your phone and let me know... AFAIK you Will be ok with the firmware you downloaded... Just take more precautions before flashing through rsd.. REMEMBER NEVER DOWNGRADE or else you will be hard bricked... As long as you dont downgrade and your firmware version matches your carrier you are good to go...

Ok i think you are all ready and set up to flash the stock firmware, again make sure that your phone is XT1052. And then go ahead and flash that stock firmware... And dont forget to edit the XML file and remove the lines that have "getvar'" written in them.. Save the xml file and flash through rsd.. again take precaution of the Boot loader you dont want to downgrade!
Here is a little heads up or info of boot loader's according to the firmwares for you :
30.70: original 4.2.2
30.71: 4.2.2 camera update
30.B2: 4.4
30.B4: 4.4.2
30.B7: 4.4.4
The order that I've written above is: (Bootolader: Android Version)
So you are on 30.B7 bootloader right now so you can flash 4.4.4 easily... But DONT EVER TRY TO FLASH BELOW 4.4.4...
Good luck mate...

1: Checkout the back side of your moto x.. the model of your device is stamped at the lower back side of your device...
2: Connect your mobile with computer and see what model does it show on the usb mass storage device..

IF the original motorola back is on the phone, there is some very fine/small print at the bottom of the back. It will have the FCC ID, Model number, etc. It could be hard to see, you might have to tilt/twist the phone so the light shines off it just right, or use a magnifying glass if you're my age.

Hi as of 10 minutes ago i have had success in flashing the custom firmware 4.4.4 on my moto x and everything is working fine. Thankyou all for the help as i was uncert

Hello guys just to update i have had success in flashing the stock firmware using rsdlite and thankyou for the help you all provided. Their is just one more thing i believe the moto x has been updated to lollipop in the time i was on CM12 . Now that i am back on kitkat is their any way i could get the official lollipop update through normal system update as when i check it is not being offered.

Same here I'd like to get the official lollipop. I have the XT1050, its a weird phone but pretty cool. The latest Android version I have is 4.4.2
Looks like you're ahead, lol

Im surprised i think you should at least be on 4.4.4 by now but perhaps its a carrier restriction. The reason i want lollipop update is because i am now wanting to sell the phone and it will demand a slightly higher value being on the latest software.

I thought that myself but according to Motorola's website Android 4.4.4 hasn't even been release for the XT1050
Plus I don't know what carrier the phone has. There's no carrier label ANYWHERE on the phone

the official android lollipop update for the Moto X (2013) hasn't been released world wide... You have to wait for motorola to release it for your model of X..So just wait for the Update to pop up it self... And if you got successful you could appreciate us by hitting the "Thanks Button" on our posts which helped you get through your problem

I am familiar with this issue it used to happen to me too sometimes. CM12 is very good but i think because their is not a stable release yet their are still some little glitches. Otherwise most of the time it works really well and very customisable. Iff i wasnt going to sell my phone i would have definetly stayed with cm12 their doing a great job.

xt1095 bricked help.

i found a thread the other night and i'd like someone with more knowledge on the subject.
hopefully this can get us closer to unbricking our moto x 2014 on our own...instead of relying on motorola.
it has a few downloads as to the necessary files however i only get to an error 'flash failed'

thats the actual thread maybe someone can look in to it.

No it does not help at all. That page has the files for the 2013 moto x, which do not help nor work with our phone. That site has bad info, sorry.

ahh damn lol

For what it's worth...the blankfalsh.bat file does recognize the moto x 2014 and does try to flash...so maybe if we had the correct boot to flash it might work??

That's the problem. We don't have the files. Only motorola has them. Motorola does NOT release them. The only way we will get the files is if they leak. So until that happens there is no way to fix a hard brick.

I found this repo of firmwares when looking for mine (1921-3)
Hope this helps, I am not 100% if it's the correct one, but i think it might at least get you started.. I'd probably start with the oldest one and see if that works, then try an OTA update.
You gonna flash it piece by piece via fastboot?
This thread may also be helpful, and might have more about your specific brick. Good luck!
