Well it finally happened, I dropped my X. Or more like someone whacked it out of my hands. It's fine, but there's a gouge in the metal frame that's already driving me nuts. So I wanna use my Moto Care to get a new one, but I want to make sure that the one I get will have KK, because it's a pain to downgrade. So, those of you who have recently gotten your Pure Editions- did they come with KK or are they already updated to Lollipop? TIA.
I received my MotoX 2014 pure edition on 2/13. It came with Lollipop. I did use the factory mage from here to downgrade to KitKat.
That's all you had to do was flash the factory image?

I don't need your help, tard. I just thought there were more steps involved... per you, actually. I'll show you the damage next time I see you, it's heartbreaking.

Ive had this phone since October been rooted since last week and now that I'm on 4.4.2 I miss root. I'm running the rogers ota on the rogers phone and I'm just wondering if you guys would reccomend unlocking the boot loader? I loose my warranty which shouldn't be to much of a problem but is it worth unlocking?

Yes, same version as 4.4 used.
btw, after you root if you want to get rid of the provider name but not mess with much else this is an option:

We have enough messed up politicians without his help.
Had two, sold one, decided I wanted a spare again so I bought another. Will probably sell my spare once wireless charging has been added to both. With Fido giving them away like mad around Christmas there were lots to be had for a great price.

That is the plan. Waiting for more wireless charging pads. Once they arrive I will test them, if they will charge the phone via a usb cable I will open up the phones and attempt to stuff them inside. Based on the pictures I have seen there is enough space to sneak them in. Of course I also need to find solder points for the USB power internally(micro soldering is no problem). It is the one feature I so wish the phone had, so if it can be done I'm going to do it.

Read someone just got there design moto x from motorola last week and it still had 4.4 on it, can someone else confirm they are still coming from Motorola with 4.4? I am sending my standard 16 gig moto x i got from verizon last week back, it had 4.4.2 on it. Verizons upgrade website sends you to motos website to design your own moto x if you don't want the standard black/black 16 gig version. Was about to pull the trigger and order a 32 gig design my own from moto but would like to hear from others who have recently to confirm which version of kitkat is coming on them.
Thanks
Mine came with 4.4 and going crazy everyday asking for the 4.4.2 Ota. I had the phone replaced like 2 weeks ago

Why do you want 4.4? If its that important for you to be able to root and disable write protection that you would return a phone because it had 4.4.2, then consider getting the Developer Edition X for Verizon.
I realize there will be cost differences if you are "renewing" your contract, or using the subsidized pricing, compared to having to pay full price for the Dev Edition, but with the Retail and Moto Maker X and its locked, you'll be stuck on 4.4 from now on. As your actions indicate you are aware 4.4.2 Breaks the current root/WPDisable processes, so you have to understand the likelihood of Root/WPDisable for 4.4.2 and beyond at this point are slim to none on a locked bootloader.
While JCASE has a root exploit to use on 4.4.2, he said due to his job and other commitments, he wont release it until the fall. Who knows what ROM version will be out for the X by then (4.4.3 or above maybe?) and will it patch that exploit? And that still leaves the question of Disabling Write Protection, without which root isn't nearly as useful (many would say worthless because any changes you make while rooted would be lost the next time you power off/on). This "late" in the game, with Moto already saying they are working on an X replacement, will a WPDisable method come to 4.4.2 and beyond?
I understand rooting, disabling write protection on 4.4, and then using Safestrap to run 4.4.2 is still an option. But its not one I've really followed, so I don't know how stable it is compared to just running 4.4.2 by itself. And I don't know the possibilities of running future roms this way (with 4.4 as a base and something higher than 4.4.2 via SS).
Your actions (going through the hassle of returning a phone because it had 4.4.2 already installed and possibly paying a restock fee, then trying to find out if MotoMaker phones still ship with 4.4) would indicate that Rooting and Disabling write protection is extremely important. So I would say Developer Edition is your best option. You can always unlock the bootloader, which disables write protection, and root it, and doing so doesn't void the warranty (at least the hardware warranty)
Oh, and if you don't like the woven white back with black front on the Dev Edition, consider Dbrand skins or a case.

To Freeze the apps (and stop the OTA notification, you need to be rooted.
The 3C_OTA.APK resides in /system/app or /system/priv-app. It can be renamed using a root capable file explorer.
If you are not rooted, you can't stop the OTA or the OTA prompt.

Hi All - So I want to get a new phone and love the Droid Turbo but I NEED root. I read all the warnings about taking the OTA 5.1.1 LP update because it prevents the root exploits. So I just went to a Verizon store to buy one with KitKat but they told me I was SOL because 99% of all new Turbos have the LP update.
So am I really SOL if I want to buy a new Droid Turbo and root it? Is there any way to flash a Turbo with LP back to KK after it is already updated?? If there truly is a way to go back to a former firmware can someone point me to a link?
Thanks and sorry if this was already discussed ad nausea.
Can't revert back. And Verizon is probably bsing you. How would most of them already be updated by now?

Hard to say, but if you get it in store make sure to tell them not to turn the phone on and activate it. That you want to do it yourself

Seems like the future for rooting our phones is getting bleaker and bleaker.
I'm a Singaporean at Singapore and I bought a T-Mobile XT1095 Moto X 2014 Pure Edition.
I'm looking to root the phone and was wondering if the ROMs in the forum like EuphoriaOS etc work with it?
No reason why they shouldn't
I have bought two 1095s, ? unlocked without a problem, ? twrp and euphoria. Runs like a hot ? though butter.

Hi y'all. I received my nexus 6 in the mail yesterday and went through the process of unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery and rooting it. Problem is the blasted camera on it is defective and wont focus and I figured that out AFTER I was done. I have an RMA set up from Motorola and am going to ship it out but what do I do about the unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery? Will I be screwed if I send it in that way? And if so what do I do to reflash it to stock? Anyone ever dealt with this before?

flash a factory image then relock your bootloader after. before relocking, make sure that you can boot up first, and remove your google account.

It is hardware, so yeah, it sure can happen. But haven't heard of this issue in the past. Did you have that issue on the stock ROM too? or only on custom ROM?
I've had my N6 since Nov 2014 as well - felt it was good enough to skip the N6P this year. Stable, and fast enough. As long as you are ok with the size, you should have no reason to regret it.
Had mine since December '14, most of the problems people report are their own doing, and the camera wouldn't focus at all even the touch to focus?

I didnt even flash a custom rom. I just unlocked it and put a custom bootloader on it. I didnt even have a chance to put a sim card in it before I noticed the camera wouldnt focus. I think I can get used to the size (im 6'3 with fairly large hands) but I mainly got it for the upgrade in power and supposed better radios for service and battery life than the nexus 5. I could take or leave the huge screen

no and I tried multiple different camera apps besides the stock one. It wasnt just a little out of focus either, im betting my old flip phone would take clearer pictures than how it was doing. Again I didnt even get to "use" the phone for a half of day lol
