Hi.
I ****ed up. I tried to restore my Moto X to factory defaults following the instructions found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657) and everything went wrong. My phone was soft bricked. I managed to save it using the windroid tool (flashed recovery, in recovery flashed CM12) but when I booted I couldn't enable wifi and my sim card wasn't being detected.
I don't know what to do. I'm in over my head. I need help. I tried reflashing the rom, but that didn't work. I might suck at searching but I couldn't find anything that worked in the forum. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Why are you following a guide for the moto G? What phone model do you have? If you're flashing moto G images that certainly won't work. If you have the PE then flash the images off the moto web page. The 5.0 images are posted so you shouldn't have issues with downgrading. If you have another model there are guides and images in this, the moto x, forum for that.

Thanks for the reply.
I found the guide in the faq stickied in the help forum. Guess I wasn't thinking. Do you thinking following a different guide will solve my problem?

There are a bunch. Is the bootloader unlocked? What country? What version were you on before you flashed CM? You need to find the images for your particular device.

You can convert your phone to a PE if you want. If not just use his instructions and flash your version you found on the previous link. Then you can flash back to CM.

Pardon my stupidity if this has already been asked, but I couldnt find any info on it.
SIM unlocked and rooted my AT&T Moto X and am running it on my local carrier. Have 4.2 installed with SS. I just got the OTA notification for 4.4 (i assume from AT&T). Is this normal?
Also, if I were to take the OTA, it would break root of course, but could I just use slapmymoto to root it? Also, since I have never done OTAs, are there any disadvantages to it?
TIA
Don't bother taking the ota...the first step of slap my Moto is returning to stock 4.2.2!

Was working fine a few weeks ago, now it tells me to call big red, and I can't think of anything I've done that should have caused this to happen.
Anyone have a solution or should I be looking for an app?

Look at settings and see if you're on 4.4.2 or 4.4

The 4.4.2 broke root and overwrote your tethering mod. read the thread below

If you have an unlocked bootloader, it's easy to enable hotspot again.

What does unlocking process involve? Ive heard there is a code.. and if you get the code does it work for every x or just yours..
---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
I guess all are able to be unlocked not just dev versions.. i will hook my usb cable to my laptop and start entering random numbers into the unlocking code hole thingy and get mine unlocked.. just like the bobbypin in a master lock
I just had to install xposed and we're working again, should have never happened in the first place though!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
So yours is unlocked.. that makes a big difference
I got the code from the chinese middle-man back when it was available, but now it's not possible. I have the standard Moto X, not DE.

Hello,
I have one question. I have bought a ATT Moto X and flashed it with these instructions to a Herman Moto X.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/update-xt1058-to-android-4-4-2-uk-t2628381
Now i am in 4.4.2 and i want 4.4.4. But i cant take the German OTA because i think the phone will brick.
How i geht to 4.4.4. German?
My idea is : flash back to ATT 4.4.2, take OTA 4.4.4 and the flash back to German with 4.4.4. Stock
Is this the right way???
Thanks a lot
Sven

Just flash this german 4.4.4. There won't be a problem with a brick.

You only need to remove them if your model uses different frequencies in your country.

If you plan to remove those lines, use fastboot and mfastboot. If you plan to flash the modem use rsd lite.

As I said it depends on your model. If you have the same frequencies it is not necessary. If the frequencies are different then it is necessary.

I'm using CM13 but can't get the speakerphone to work.
Is it possible to get the speakerphone to work?
Am I the only one that has this issue? Maybe no one uses the speakerphone and just hasn't noticed?
I tried a proposed solution of changing something in build props from digital to analog but that didn't work.

I assume you mean speakerphone for calling. For it to work your gpt and modem partitions needs to be on the one for lollipop unless you have a phone like me and had no official lollipop OTA released. However there is a solution. But hey I could be wrong. Post back and let me know.

Yes the speakerphone for calls.
My bootloader is unlocked.

Did you ever take the stock 5.1 update? If not, flashing the gpt and modem should do the trick.
Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk
It was up to date but I don't think it was at 5.1.
Where would I get those files to flash?
I come from stock 4.4.2(latest for my variant) then I found out I could flash the Verizon gpt.bin and non-hlos.bin and speakerphone worked again. However I suggest you try one of the xt1053 modem and gpt. Possibly xt1058.

Thanks man! It took some playing around but I finally got the modem and gpt flashed.
After that took a dalvik cache wipe to get the cellular radio to work again but after that the phone and speaker work!
