Install pre 2.2 OTA with 100% working root 2.0 radio/720p video

UPDATE, you will have market issues, some apps will not show up. For a fix see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728451&highlight=market+ota
READ FIRST
DO NOT APPLY THE UPDATE.ZIP TWICE or YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Everyone should know that if you apply this update and VZW changes the radio in the official then you probably won't be able to upgrade your radio to it.
Also if you do this you will not be able to revert back to stock until a new RUU is released, and the problem with a new RUU is that they may close all known root methods. If you try with any current RUU's you will get a "Main version is older" error.
The radio is very good and 720p will work but everyone should know this might prevent future radio updates.

READ SECOND:
In case the OTA comes out and there is something truly different, you can follow this procedure to downgrade hboot and install an older RUU:

Put the file from mediafire.com on your SDCARD as update.zip
If rooted, you have to RUU your phone back to stock. Download the image from the link below, put on root of SDCARD and then boot into bootloader(powerdown, hold power and optical button in) then go to bootloader, then it should load the img and then apply it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?yum40znzwmmmtyl
Boot back to your phone and apply the first OTA update we got. If you dont do this, you might get errors trying to install the new update.
Then go to STOCK recovery.
Apply update.zip
Reboot, then activate.
Then follow this:
(Mine got stuck on rebooting phone, I just unplugged my phone and then plugged it back in again really fast again, it seemed to work like normal just starting the UnrEVOked 3.0 with phone hooked up)
UnrEVOked v3.0 Is Out - ROOT NO LONGER REQUIRED + NEW CLOCKWORK 2.5!!! - xda-developers
Then one final step for now to install root again really easy.
Download this
http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/payload-update.zip
Put it on your SD card, then reboot into clockwork recovery
Go to install zip from SD-Card
Choose the payload-update.zip
You have root again and busybox is installed.
Some reason UnrEVOked 3.0 didnt reroot my phone but doing the steps above will have you with the latest update and 2.0 radio with 100% working root and working 720p video.
Picture proof it works, drocapped the pic, so you know root is all good.

This sounds really dangerous to me and while I appreciate the warnings, those warnings show pretty bad consequences. I think I will wait until unrEVOked simply provides a root-safe version of the OTA.

Yea someone posted the leak file here, I thought I messed up at first because root wasn't on my phone! Then I figured it out so I figured I would post how to easily get root back on.

Please update your original post with this information.

Might hurt you in the end
If the official radio version ends up being like 1.7 or 1.9 everyone who did this will be screwed correct? There is no way to reverse this once you have flashed the leaked radio.
EDIT: Haha ^^^^^^ you beat me to it by 2 minutes

Its not even just that. The update was a radio.diff file not a radio.img. I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing that it just makes modifications to your radio, and not replace it.
If they make changes to the radio.diff it may not be able to make the proper changes to our radio because we are running a leaked version that already has changes in it.

Wonder if the update can be dismantled and only have the 720p added to the phones?

People should be able to get the stock recovery .zip, out of sone of these stock ruus so that wiping its not necessary... Redoing your entire phone is a pita... Much easier if someone can isolate the stock recovery file without messing with the data partition

A few have tried (including myself) and 720P doesn't work without the radio. It will show in the camcorder and you can select it, but if you try and record it will reboot on you.
I'll keep trying but it seems impossible to have 720P recording without the radio.

OP. unrevoked will root your phone for you. i'm guessing you're on windows. those extra steps are not necessary on linux or os x.

thank you for your info!
i didnt know i have to install payload-update.zip......

So basically we should just wait? All this is giving us right now is the 720p right??

it should also push out a new bootscreen animation and install mobile hotspot (haha..we already have wireless tether..) rumor is also that swype now comes into play as well.

So if I'm reading this right you're saying there's a chance that you could never receive another OTA update?

I guess I will just wait until tomorrow when the OTA is released to make sure future upgrades work.

can someone who does this ota and then roots their phone make a nandroid of it stock...i think i may have messed something up real bad and i cant get it to stop boot looping...

I'm trying to RUU but it can't find the file? what am I doing wrong

[ROM] [OFFICIAL UPDATE] LP11 Official ICS Update for VZW 10.1 LTE tab

Hey guys, I pulled the ICS update.bin from my tab and converted it into a flashable zip file. It must be flashed from STOCK recovery, NOT cwm recovery/TWRP etc. This file basically patches every system file on the tab, so the only way to flash this successfully is to go back to stock and update your way up to stock FE01. It doesn't matter how you get to stock FE01 as long as you are on it and are using the FE01 radios. Once you have reached stock FE01, Flash this file in STOCK recovery: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/FE01a_to_LP11d_update.zip
Now, place this file: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip on your SD card.
Once you have flashed the update successfully and placed the superuser.zip on your SD card, odin this recovery: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/recovery/cwm5/p4vzw/5/recovery.tar.md5 and boot directly into recovery right after you odin it so that the tab does not boot fully into the OS and overwrite what you just flashed with the stock recovery. Once you have booted into cwm recovery, navigate to the superuser.zip and flash and then reboot. Congratulations, you're running Official ICS with root. For those that want CWM recovery to persist after reboot, delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh with a root file manager.
Of course, credit goes to ChainsDD for the superuser.zip used in this guide
And to pershoot for the CWM recovery used in this guide.

Finally!!!
I can confirm that this file does update the VZW to 4.0.4 with baseband LP11. LTE is finally functioning as well as front and rear cameras. The tab has a whole new feel to it. I haven't tried any of the root files here. I first wanted to make sure that its stable/useful before messing around with rooting.
Big thumbs up for posting

Awesome, thanks Kidserious!
Hoping Pershoot's able to pull drivers from this to integrate into CM9/10.

That's what I was most excited about...new kernel source and version. Up until now, all AOSP builds for the LTE 10.1 were based on the 2.6.38 honeycomb kernel. This new update brings us 3.1.10 and updated drivers.

Definitely will be cool.
Bah, had to go way back to an older stock image I had but eventually got back to HC 3.1 and upgraded back up.
Definitely an improvement over stock or even overclocked honeycomb 3.2. Going to be nice to get CM 10 someday.

This update is great..I'd say it was worth the wait, but since Jelly Bean is already out and soon to be dated I will not.

Thanks
This worked great! Waiting for a long time to get this on the LTE!

Woot!
Will be working on this today! Can't wait!
Maybe one of the great devs, can pull the modem out into an install file. Maybe the modem and cameras will work with JB!

Do you think we coudl use these files on the ota dowload from VZW?
Also, how did you get back to stock? I know I have Pershoots kernel, rooted and CWM

well, my dumbarse figured it out. for those that are dense like me, I used the Odin file in rylon360's thread on rootswiki.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7718-romleakodineg01-factory-stock-odin-image-vzw-lte-tab-101/ to get back to stock, then I did system updates three times. Small one, large one, Small one. to get to stock FE01.
then followed this thread to update.
Thanks so much!!!!

anyone else have issue with Tibu restoring apps? I loaded my Tibu folder back onto the device but it wont recognize the apps. Tibu had the latest update too.

Does this wipe the tablet at all?
My fiance's 10.1 is unbearably slow but she's using it for work so I can't root it. Will I be able to run the update from stock recovery and keep everything how it is?

Yes. I updated another that was all stock and it retained everything. My tab however won't see any of the tibu backups I saved to my PC. Sucks

Did you get this working? I did the same -- backup in Titanium, copy folder to PC, ran through the process to upgrade to latest version and then copy Titanium folder back to /sdcard and all was fine. I've done this several times in the past as well.

I need to do some reading and figure out how to get back to 100% stock. I am pretty sure I am just running the OTA rooted HC ROM so i will need to flash the regular stock ROM and then get recovery back.
The tab was sooo darn slow before. Cant wait to see how it does after this.

Thats what I did, wanted to start fresh so what I installed was HC 3.1 and wiped data and all. Then I ran OTA after OTA until I got to ICS. Then I installed CWM from droidbasement (pershoot) and used it to flash superuser. Tab runs MUCH better than before. I'm currently running stock kernel and intend to do a CWM image of my current setup and wait for CM updates with LTE rolled in before doing any further tinkering with the tablet. I don't even feel the need to run an overclocked kernel at this point.

Do you have it that you can post somewhere? Seen it somewhere else?

Ectiech. I have flashed my phone so much I can do with eyes closed. I have done tibu this way several times. Something must have happened to the backup I made because I copied the tibu folder from my cell running slimbean jellybean rom and all the apps restored perfectly from there. Sadly I had not played the games on my phone like I did on my tablet.

I returned mine to basic Verizon, no root. Took off clockwork when I returned to stock and let it auto upgrade itself a few weeks ago. Figured it needed to be stock
Copied over and then rebooted to standard recovery and let it fly. Didn't wipe anything. Everything is there. Proggies work. Haven't check cameras.
My tab was stripped...so didn't matter if I lost everything.
Hope my pic posts...hit 58 mbs. Download driving last night. I'm town tested speed changing towers, in upper 30s.

[HOW-TO]VERY EASY 4.1.2 to 4.2 update

One super easy way to go to 4.2 from 4.1.2, IMO. This keeps root and current recovery (TWRP). I did it last night. No adb, no PC, all done on device.
I had no issues doing this, but....if you do it's not my fault. You decided to to do it to your device...not me. I doubt you'll have an issue if you follow this to the "T". But by doing this, you agree that I am not responsible for any problems you may have.
1. Download the update via OTA or HERE
2. Must have TWRP recovery! May work on CWM, but I haven't tested it and don't know if it will.
3. If you have flashed a kernel, done the 720p camera mod, altered the build.prop, etc.... you will get an error when trying to flash. I managed to copy most files from a stock rom to get rid of most errors. But the last error was a partition error which I was not to sure how to fix. Best and easiest way is to backup apps with Titanium Backup, then backup the whole sha-bang in recovery. Then download and flash THIS. Make sure you check the root in Aroma....believe it's checked by default.
4.Set it up, then re-install apps with Titanium Backup. DO NOT DELETE, MOD, OR FLASH ANYTHING ELSE!
5. Download and use THIS. You should show "Device rooted", "Root permission granted", and "/system supports root protection" checked.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click the "Protect root" button, then "Protected su copy available" should be checked. All boxes now should be checked.
6. Boot into TWRP. Flash the update. (If you did the OTA download and cannot find it, it's in the /cache file. You may need to check mount system in TWRP to access it. You will need to mount system later anyway.)
7. It should flash without any issues if you followed the directions so far.
8. DO NOT REBOOT! STAY IN RECOVERY OR YOU'LL LOSE CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP)
9.Make sure system is mounted. Then go to Advanced>File Manager. Go to /system/recovery-from-boot.p and delete or rename the file (recovery-from-boot.p.bak).
10. Reboot to system. Then go back to Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and click "Restore root".
11. You should be good to go. Doing everything mentioned updated me from 4.1.2 to 4.2, kept root and TWRP.
12. If it worked, and it should have.....please hit the thanks button.:good:

I'm trying this method now . don't know if it 'll be passed or not but Good Work :laugh: Thanks :good:

I just flashed one of the rooted stock 4.2 Roms. Took a few minutes to download, reboot to recovery, complete wipe, and install. Took a couple of minutes to do the setup, restore apps with titanium.

Got totally Screwed updating my rooted X with 4.4.4

I am not a pro like you guys, but when I bought my unlocked "X Developers Edition 1053" from USA, I could not resist unlocking its bootloader and rooting it.
However I never tried to change the stock ROM, and used my rooted phone for some great apps
But Two days ago, my Phone which was on 4.4.3 got an update to 4.4.4 And I thought why not its just 15 MB update, lets do it.
Wish I would'nt have done that, coz I read somewhere that a rooted phone should not be updated, and now it just shows me the Moto startup Animation for a few seconds and shutdown.
I STFW but got too many ways and I got confused, thought It would be best not to **** my phone with any wild solutions and make problem worse.
I tried starting the phone in fastboot/recovery mode it does go into that mode, when I press Lock and Power Up/Down keys together, and I tried all options in it except "Factory" option, but nothing happens.
So this is it guys, am I really screwed in a big way, or is there any hope for me :crying:
Please help me, even a direction to proper way would also mean a lot.

You have a custom recovery i assume?
You can try clearing just cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work, May have to clear data too....all your apps and data will be gone though. Not your pics and internal SD stuff though, that will be untouched.
---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------
Next step is see what bootloader version it shows now. If it's still 4.4.3....You can flash the 4.4.3 factory image to get back and running.
Don't downgrade though....that could brick you.

Removed Cache but now: Fastboot Reason Sticky bit factory _fastboot
After applying the following command:
fastboot erase cache
It now gives me error:
Fastboot Reason Sticky bit factory _fastboot
and nothing happens.
I checked moto's website for my framework 4.4.3, but it isn't listed there Firmware till 4.4.2 is only listed there, is it ok to flash this version ?

No, it's not. If you downgrade you can/will likely brick. Now or later.

If you're giving up trying to save your data and just want your phone back, and if you're sure you have the xt1053, and you're sure 4.4.3 is what you want, then follow the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/back-...to-x-xt1053-to-android-4-4-3-kitkat-firmware/
if you wanna save data you might hold off in case anyone else has any ideas.
in the future always make a nandroid backup of your android device asap and after each ota update. you do that from the custom recovery that you installed, and save a copy off your device, on a computer or hd. speaking of the custom recovery, after you make the nandroid and flash superSU, if you're not using it regularly then it's probably better to flash back stock recovery. from what I understand it is not having root that's causing problems with OTA updates, it's the custom recovery. So if you keep it stock you don't have to remember to flash back for OTA, while still enjoying the benefits of root. the OTA will break your root, but since you're unlocked anyway you just have to go through it after each ota and you're golden.

According to gsmarena moto x is
Available as:
Motorola Moto X XT1058 for AT&T
Motorola Moto X XT1053 for T-Mobile
Motorola Moto X XT1052 for Europe
Motorola Moto X XT1056 for Sprint
Motorola Moto X XT1060 for Verizon
Motorola Moto X XT1055 for U.S. Cellular
To my mind XT1053 should be the same whatever it's called T-Mobile or developer, only difference being in the fine print where one voids your warranty for unlocking and the other doesn't. but you might wanna confirm that.
As for the link, guess it's down. but the main thing is the firmware exists online.

The unlocked GSM Moto X dev ed is the exact same phone as the TMobile Moto X - they are both XT1053 - so you use the TMobile SBF for the unlocked GSM dev ed.
Right now the SBF firmware site is down so you are going to have to wait until they get it back up. The site is not working for anyone right now.
Also keep in mind that since you bought directly from Motorola, you have a 1 year warranty on the device and since it is a dev ed, the warranty was not voided when you unlocked it. So if worse comes to worse, you can return for a warranty replacement as long as you are still within 1 year of purchase.

Yes I have !

Did you install the clockworkmod recovery? If so you need to make a nandroid.

I don't use CWM so I would have to look it up myself. I use TWRP. You can probably find out how to do it through CWM's website.
Once you figure it out, make a nandroid and keep a copy on your PC. Then flash the 4.4.4 sbf. Then install a custom recovery, root 4.4.4 and install Titanium back up. Then extract your data from the nandroid using TiBU.

At this point, you should do some reading. It's obvious you have no idea what you're doing. Stop now before you screw your phone up any further.

Thanks nhizzat and wansanta, Will do some search on nandroid for sure.
Ok, So as you guys have given me a ray of hope. I am checking the ways by which I can save my data.
Wouldn't do anything that I don't know what it does.

If you can get into CWMR, you can make a nandroid. And if you can make a nandroid, you can extract your data using TiBU.

I created a backup from CWM, but it will be placed in Phone's internal memory right ? So when I flash my phone with TMobile ROM, wouldn't it erase the backup file too?
Is there a way to extract the backup file to my PC directly before flashing ?

Again I don't use CWMR so I can't tell you how that works. With TWRP, the backups are in a folder labeled TWRP. You just connect your phone to your PC and copy that folder to your PC.

OK so got a little ahead of myself this afternoon and thought wth its time to root. Only problem was i did not properly identify my model number. So basically i rooted a n910t with the n915t root i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
So after i already flashed it i noticed something was wrong with my screen. Then i realized my mistake (shucks) what s a guy to do except ask an expert.
Basically it was on nk3 and i could only find nk4 so i tried to see if that would help it did not.
To the real issue! So i loaded nk4 on it and it loaded fine but the problem is my screen touch is off. This started after the attempted root with the files for the wrong phone. To give you an idea in order to press a correct button i have to press about an inch or so above the button i am trying to press. However that only when the screen rotation is normal. When i flip the screen rotation landscape it work fine. (in other words when i turn the phone to the side homebutton to the right). I am super mad i just bought the dam thing outta contract so you can imagine how i am feeling right now. If any one can help or tell me if there is a kernel i can download i would appreciate it. I dont have the insurance either cause i never break or brick my phones (ha) thanks guys for reading

I would be careful. I would odin back to stock boot it up unrooted and then follow the right thread. I know a few who have wiped system and it was game over as we don't have a pit file. Watch what you wipe.

its not so much the wrong version as it is the touchscreen calibration being off i posted a pic so that people may better understand what i am saying.

Have you done a factory reset since you odin'd to the correct version of the stock rom?

I knew this would be confusing. I bought the n910t. Tmo version. What i did was accidently flash the 915t root files. This is what messed up the calibration. I have wiped and reinstalled to no avail my theory is that there is a kernel or a patch (dont really know the lingo) to fix the display. Thats what i am looking for. There is no odin fw for 4.4.4 nk3 so i flashed nk4 hoping that would fix the issue. I know what i did sounds noobi, but i am not totally a noob.

i tried that as well hoping for the best it did not work though

Ahh ok..
just wanted to clarify your Exact model#.
Im puzzled as to why odin is not wiping you clean.
You should be starting over fresh and not having ANY remnents of this pre-existing flash still intact after flashing stock firmware...
Try downloading the completly stock from sams mobile or from the first post.
And just pull the battery and flash the stock firmware again....

mmm thats an idea i was using my octoplus box the firmware i donwloaded from the support site. Perhaps that is not a full firmware wipe but it was like 2.46 gigs.

Lol so i know in not talkin to a rookie by any means..
i wouldnt try flashing any kernel like you asked about[emoji33]. mix an match that and its game over... [emoji85] i think if you get the odin stock firmware and get back into download mode youll be golden.. [emoji51]
youll be back to square one..
And knox will trip as well.. this im sure you know...
Good luck soldier...

im dl it now i am going to give it a try. I just cant really imagine what i messed up that cant be fixed with a fresh install. I know there are phones out there thaat when you root it and odin a kernel it messes up the display,wifi,bt ect. that why i was thinking i would need a kernel to fix it.

After you Odin to stock with the downloaded file from Samsung.
And doing a factory reset.
If your calibration is still screwed up.
You could try flashing a rom.
Maybe firekat or something aosp like cmRemix and see if the rom doesn't overwrite the remnants that are killing you.

Aren't there hidden codes to reset calibration? I think there might have been on my S3. So there may be one on the note as well. Maybe search around for that also? Just an idea.
