[Q] Flashing pre and post camera

Well I have had a problem that I can't get to kitkat using the OTA because I have a modified system with root. I also can't flash back to stock because the only stock image that is available is from before the camera update, so if I flash it I will brick my cellphone. From what I understand this doesn't leave me with any options at the moment. I am on Claro Chile(139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.CL) currently but the only firmware available is 139.7.26.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.CL which is pre camera...
I wanted to be clear on what things would brick my phone for sure, that way I don't do them. First of all is it the bootloader or the system image that causes it to brick? If it's the bootloader, would I be able to just flash the system image by itself then do the OTA to get me to kitkat? Or is the camera file that is in the system image the problem? If so is it possible to modify the system image to update just the camera file then flash it then do the update to kitkat? Am I able to flash another rom from another carrier such as "Claro Brazil" or "Claro Puerto Rico" since they have the same system version as my phone(139.12.35.ghost_row.America.Movil.en)? Or would that brick it?
Or if any android or moto x gurus have any other ideas on how I can get to kitkat I am open to suggestions and ideas.

There is a poster who created an unofficial fxz for verizon 4.4.2 from another poster's stock phone running 4.4.2. You might want to ask him how he did it and if you know someone who has a stock 4.4.2 claro chile you may be able to do it. Here is the thread:

Once the official sbf firmware came out he edited his OP to remove his unofficial fxz. I don't know how he does it, but he may be able to tell you how. That would get you to 4.4.2.

[Q] How to unroot moto x?

Hello guys, I just wanted to ask how to unroot my moto x xt1058. I've recently unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP recovery to play a little with some framework modules but i have noticed that my battery is not that great after that so i want to go back, can you guys pleas help me? Will I lose my data? I also want to upgrade from OTA to 4.4.3 when it comes out in my country.
Sorry for my bad english

Return to stock threads. Use rsd to flash sbf to stock or fastboot the stock image files.

[Q] Return 4.4.3 to stock. Flash 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 system and recovery?

I just bought my son a used Moto X (2013). He's already set it up and installed his apps. When he accepted an OTA update (4.4.3 to 4.4.4) it failed and we discovered that TRWP recovery was installed. He would like to revert to a stock recovery so that he can accept Lollipop OTA when available.
I can easily install 4.4.4 with the images and instructions from Motorola but this would cause him extra work as he would have to set up the phone again.
I assume I can just flash the stock system and recovery image but Motorola only offers the images for 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 not the 4.4.3 that he has installed.
Would it be safe to install one of those? Which one? Would that preserve the apps he's already installed?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: FWIW Phone is an XT1053 Developer Edition

You would want to flash the 4.4.4 factory images. Just don't downgrade android versions or you will brick.

Travisdroidx2,
I'll flash 4.4.4 then. Do you think it would be safe to flash only the system and recovery files? I wonder if that would cause issues or possibly brick it when Lollipop OTA becomes available. If it sounds even a little risky I'll just flash all the 4.4.4 files per Motorola's guidance and let my son re-setup the phone.
Thanks for your help.

If you flash all of the 4.4.4 and don't change system files or recovery you will be on the upgrade path for the ota. The brick happens when the moto boot.img and gpt.bin images get downgraded. Then people end up with mismatched partions and brick on a ota. If you flash all of 4.4.4 and leave it as is you will be fine to take the update. Then if you want to root after just flash twrp and root. But flashing the 4.4.4 sbf will get you on the upgrade path again.

Does anyone have the factory images? I tried to download from Motorola but it says download failed everything

I just flashed the Motorola 4.4.4 image, everything appears to be fine. The only problem I encountered was that an XML file should have been included in the Motorola download with specific flashing instructions for my device. My download was missing this so I downloaded the 4.4.2 image and found the XML there. It differs slightly from the flashing instructions on the Motorola images download page.
Thanks for the help, I've attached the XML file.

Moto X XT1052 Return to Stock

Hey guys
I have the Indian version of the Moto X- XT1052.
I want to return it to stock so I can receive the OTA.
I found this image: http://www.filefactory.com/file/3qrd...FC_1FF.xml.zip
I want to know if this will revert all the changes that I have made to whatever it was when I got it.
Will it return boot, system and recovery to stock?
Could anyone give me clear instructions on how I can flash this image?
Do I need root access to flash this?
Does this downgrade the android version?
Thanks

Anyone have stock recovery for e5 Play?

I want to go back to stock recovery so I can update my Xfinity Mobile version of the phone. I forgot to back it up before I replaced it with twrp. Anyone have it available? Thanks.

Think this may help. search for XT1920-15 STOCK ROOTED FIXED.zip
