No I'm afraid not. That only works if your 4.4 or lower. As of 4.4.2 it doesn't work anymore.
And you can not downgrade without a great risk of bricking.

Well then we have to wait a new exploit that allows to root.
Thanks for your answer!

SBF.DroidDevs Is Gone!!!
Hello all,
I've been trying to get my 2013 VZW Moto X back to stock, but I don't have access to the SBF, since Droid-Dev's is down or something. I know there is a post on XDA about the Developer Edition of the Moto X 2013, but I have the consumer model. Any idea where I can get the 4.4.4 SBF?

question about rooting Sprint Moto X running 4.4.4
I've got a Sprint Motorola X running 4.4.4 with a previously unlocked bootloader from having rooted it on 4.2.2 way back when. I lost root with the update but kept the unlocked bootloader. Will the Moto X Toolkit work for me?

Return to Stock not downloading files
When I try to do Return to Stock, then choose my carrier (Verizon), then choose to download and install any of the stock images, I get a 404 error when trying to download the stock .zip file.
Pasting the address (I cannot past it here, but it links to the VZW_XT1060_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip file on droid-developers.org) into a web browser also gives me the same File Not Found error.
Has the file moved or is something else going wrong?

I haven't looked at the toolkit in some time, if there isn't a menu option to "Root with unlocked bootloader" then there should be an option to flash TWRP Recovery (since the release notes for Toolkit 1.4.4 says "Updated TWRP to 2.8.1.0")
Once you've successfully flashed TWRP, reboot the phone into it, it should ask if you want too root.
Other option is to not use the toolkit and see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-instructions-unlocking-t2649738/post54796193

Try the file factory link and find the firmware for your model and Android version.... Don't downgrade.... Then you can flash the files individually.

Alright, I was reading through that, and it looks as if I can flash 4.4.4 without unrooting or anything like that (right now I'm on 4.4.2), because the firmware is available on file factory. Is there any prerequisites I need to take before flashing? I have an unlocked bootloader if that means anything in this situation....

return to stock with nandroid backup
I am currently using cm12 5.0.2 rom on my sprint moto x . I have a nandroid backup with stock 4.4.4 rom. my question is can I restore the nandroid backup without any problem?
Also I have to unroot and then lock the bootloader kindly tell me how to do that please.

Help Updating Verizon Moto X Developer Edition
All,
I have the Verizon Moto X Developer Edition. I originally bought it since I chose to pay full price, to maintain my unlimited Data. I also like rooting my device for certain operations, and I was willing to pay a little extra for the warranty to cover this activity.
I unlocked my bootloader and I rooted my device. I originally backed up my system, but never used TWRP, since I was happy with the mostly stock debloated ROM. I did use the Root to enable free Native WiFi hotspot.
Since the root and unlock, I have not received any system updates, and I'm stuck at Android 4.4. I have a Nexus 7 (2013) tablet, and I enjoy many of the newer features of Android.
I have seen Droid-life posts that the Moto X mainstream version is on 4.4.4.
Can anyone explain how to update my Developer Edition to 4.4.4 or later while maintaining Root and my Hotspot workaround? To be honest, I stopped tracking it, and don't even know what the latest version is for the mainstream Gen 1 Moto X. I have read some reports that show (Non-Developer versions) updating to the latest ROM wipes the Root, and they cannot get it back. And I am also under the impression that the mainstream image update is not compatible with my phone.
I used to tinker with several different ROMs all the time with my previous two phones, but I'm a little rusty. It has been 18 months since I bothered, as most of the functionality I need is reliable at this point. Yes, I realize that implies I probably don't need to tinker, but I'm considering it, pending the above information.
The one critical requirement is that I do use my phone as the hotspot, and enabling on my current plan required root access, or no-root, and an additional $30/month. I kind of like that feature. I used this method.

make sure to erase cache and to reboot the bootloader after flashing the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Step1 (unlocking the bootloader) is the same as described in that guide except the linked files (fastboot and adb) are outdated. Better to download directly from developer.android.com/sdk
Step2 (Flashing a custom recovery) Instructions are incomplete imo. You always should erase cache and reboot the bootloader after flashing a custom recovery to prevent problem when attempting to boot the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Links for CWM at step 2 are dead, anyway you can download CWM or TWRP from their official website, would recommend TWRP, the version you'll need can vary with the rom you want to flash (refer to the rom thread or ask here if you are unsure)
Step3 (rooting) - Not really needed, you can root your phone simply by booting and leaving recovery mode. When leaving recovery mode, twrp will detect that the phone isn't rooted and will ask you if you want to install root, just select yes and your phone is rooted. Both methods will give the same result. just a little simpler to use the embedded "root install" of twrp imo.
Step4 - first statement is incorrect, you don't need to flash boot.img on the M7 like it was the case for other HTC devices. Afaik, all roms made for the M7 will flash the boot.img so no need to worry about extracting it from the rom and flashing it manually.

thanks @alray I will get S-off and proceed this evening it on the morning.... I'll report...

And just in case, step 3 (rooting) is obviously not needed at all if flashing a rom that is already rooted (pre-rooted rom)

Hi buddy. I just wanna thank you cuz I was looking for the logo and I couldn't find it until I saw ur post.
I know my next question does not belong to the original quote (I'm so sorry for asking you that). I updated my xt1095 to lollipop and it was soak test, it had bugs and I decided to get kit kat back. So I unlocked my bootloader cuz I had to and I flashed stock factory image (from Motorola). My question is, if I receive OTA (lollipop) can I update or not? 'Cause I don't wanna have a beautiful brick

The answer to this question seems to be yes, but I'm not sure anyone is entirely certain. I know the OTA process worked for me the first time before factory images were available and I had a few things tweaked with my system. Likely what will happen is that your logo.bin will just be rewritten in the upgrade. However, the stock logo.bin has been included in the factory restore process, so if and when the OTA comes out you could always go into fastboot and fastboot flash the original logo.bin contained within the restore images if you are having issues

Thanks

You are trying to flash an ICS bootimage to a JB android system. That just doesn't match. If you unlocked the bootloader, i assume u don't have any data left then. Just reflash the whole system then with RSD-Lite. Enough post on the subforum about that U can't use adb, u will need to use fastboot.

I have unlocked the bootloader, and now all i want to do is root the phone. Could someone please please put an idiots guide/tutorial up for me. I am currently on stock 4.4.2 Kitkat. I am only trying to get past the "writing to external SD card" problem, but i need a rooted phone for that. Thank you.

Hi. You are a simple steps to have root now that you have unlocked the bootloader of the Razr i. You can follow this very simple steps shown in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIHUo8nx0UQ
It's basically to dowload this package: "RAZR i RECOVERY.rar" https://mega.co.nz/#!sF8wzQ7C!ssc3uPDKVGhti9qhCfQUbDbgpI-rHECRjbAoz-Fx7R4 (It's the same from the video)
Then you copy these 2 lines of commands and paste them into the CMD prompt:
Command to install TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-razri-twrptouch.img. (Include the last dot)
Command to reboot the device:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then watch the video for the next simple steps, you don't need to understand the language (Portuguese) to follow the steps.
It'll work for 4.4.2. Of course you need to have the drivers installed. You can get them from the Motorola site.
I think it should work for other Motorola smartphones too.
I hope you this helps n.n

XT1068 downgrade to 4.4.4 fail

Dear all,
I'm new to xda and to ROM tweaking and changing, but I am a developer and I know Linux very well.
I'm trying to restore the factory 4.4.4 ROM on my XT1068 because I can't live with Lollipop even if I tried for weeks.
The factory images are posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...riginal-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533 and I followed the instructions there and other instructions as well with no success so far.
What I tried, after rooting the phone and unlocking the bootloader has been:
- flashing according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657 using fastboot commandline from my laptop
- trying to install with TWRP
Attempts with fastboot commands were a total failure and only lead me to bricking the system multiple times. Apparently the signature is not accepted so some of the fastboot flash steps miserably fail and brick the system.
Attempts with TWRP to install or wipe and install (also disabling the signature check otherwise it gets stopped by that) bring nowhere, with TWRP just telling that there was an error flashing right after checking the md5sum. By the way: there was no md5sum on the files in the original thread, so I created my own one (with the risk of having wrong md5 if the download was corrupted).
After hours spent on this the only thing I think I figured out is that lollipop bootloader is a nightmare and prevents me from installing 4.4.4. I can't figure out how you guys managed to install without complaints the 4.4.4 images. BTW: the 5.0 image I had on the smartphone was the RETGB one and it was bought over amazon, originally shipped with 4.4.4
P.S: the error I get with fastboot is: preflash verification failed

must have unlocked bootloader via motorla page and try my 4.4.4 easy installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/windows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1068-dual-t2983295- read the README for instructions -firmware d in list for GB from amazon UK

My friend, if you wanna upgrade your Android OS, please do it NOT(!!!), then flash a Factory Image from XDA on your phone.
It results in a hard brick if you upgrade via OTA.
