I think if you have an unlocked bootloader you can use RSD Lite to flash a kit kat image and the revert
You have to do the bootloader downgrade, or you will brick your phone because when you took the update, your bootloader also updated. Here's the link but it is risky And you can brick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3058202

Um, not exactly.
GPT.BIN can't be downgraded. Parts of Mototboot.img can't be downgrade. We've seen issues of phones not working when the GPT/Motoboot are NEWER than the rom on the phone... i.e. someone tried to downgrade, or they started and failed flashing a newer SBF...
@dexter bob its a long story, which I've tried to explain (see the warning link in my signature), and some will say its safe, but I've seen way too many soft bricks (which could be recovered), hard bricks (could not be recovered so the phone is now a paperweight/door stop/trash), and others who just had some features/functions not working properly when they've attempted to downgrade, that I say... "Its your phone, you can do what you want, just please make an informed decision" and.... If you are ok with the very real possibility of rendering your phone useless, then sure do whatever you want, but if you can't afford to have a non-working phone, then do not attempt to downgrade.
ok i wont go for downgrade that but now i am using kk based cyanogen 11, that is "cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-ghost.zip ". i think it is kk based isn't it a downgrade? the thing is camera quality in kk 4.4.4 is good but i am not getting the same quality in cyanogen, how could i improve camera quality?
Just install eclipse or krypton.
They are both stock 4.4.4 based

CM roms do not touch much beyond System.. It is safe to flash those, and revert back to your stock rom.
u can use the Fastboot tools to downgrade

Try flashing moto camera, in question and answers sub forum there is a thread of some guy asking for links, I flashed one of these and working fine, but just camera, not gallery, or you will have problems with theme engine.

just download kk firmware you want and flash just system.img and boot.img then go to recovery and wipe data&cache.
i'm using 4.2.2 right now after i upgraded my xt1052 to 5.1 firmware. just flash system .img and boot.img via fastboot and wipe data&cache.
backup first!!!!!

In the Moto X General Thread, the stock Lollipop ROMs with download links are available. Download both the Lollipop ROM and the Kitkat ROM for your device.
When you are flashing(Using Fastboot), all you need to do is flash the gpt.bin and motoboot.img from the Lollipop ROM instead of the KitKat ROM and the others as is from KitKat ROM.
This method worked for me on XT-1052.
ok thank u brother, could u explain step wise because i am beginner, flashing means using cmd or twrp?

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

Good evening everybody,
I just read that accepting an OTA Update from Motorola results in a soft brick if your Bootloader is unlocked.
Does it only happen when upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 or will it also happen, when updating from 4.1 to 4.4?
If it does, how can I upgrade without bricking my device? I know there is no KitKat ROM availble right now, but Motorola promised to release an KK update.
It should be fine if you flash stock using RSD Lite and leave it untouched.
I read it somewhere on the Moto discussion forums but can't seem to find the link.
No, no brick. You just need to have stock (no root).

* At first, i would say, that i am not responsible for any action you do, since downloading attached files. Everything you do with files or advices in this thread, you do on your own responsibility.
This is ONLY for LG L90 D405N phone, not any other version of LG L90. Flashing attached ROM to any other device than LG L90 D405N will probably brick your phone!
Now to the point:
I somehow managed to softbrick my phone the day i bought it, and only possibility for me was to flash custom rom. But any of the available custom rom's has caught my heart, so i decided to get back to Stock. As i found, there was only old v10A version flashable available to download on internet, or possibility to flash original firmware from KDZ file via USB. Since original firmware KDZ file flashing via USB was not working for me (still don't know why), and v10A is way too old (current version is v10D) i extracted actual v10D original firmware KDZ file and made it flashable via recovery (CWM, TWRP). Of course you need CWM or TWRP first to flash this. I assume you already got it. If you don't, just google it, how to flash custom recovery on your phone.

This is clean Stock rom without any intervention, so dirty flash should work on previous stock rom. But i highly recommend clean flash, just to be sure, everything works smooth. You won't lose your custom recovery, but you will have to root again.

Well, the question is, how do you remove root. If by "unroot" ability from SuperSU app, it won't work. How to unroot for sucesfully OTA update, I don't know to be honest.
What if i flash your ROM from zero wiping everything. I will not have root permission... Right?

So, we finally have Official lollipop for all variants from a while now.
Maybe someone could post the flashable .zip for D405N Stock Lollipop, as I don't really like to unroot and Bootloader lock flash kdz then unlock etc. It's messy any could brick device, even if I did it successfuly from the first time...

I'm currently on Android 5.0.2 with CM 12 and I don't know if there is any way to simply upgrade the bootloader without restoring to stock, is there any way to do so?
Also, what's the difference if I update to 5.1 and then reflash CM12?

It didnt brick mine. I did it without even researching. Just assumed it was good. Flashed 5.1 as my first custom rom, and now I'm on the 3/22/15 CM12 nightly. No bricks.
Has anyone ran the 5.1 bootloader with a 5.0 rom? Also, are you able to manually downgrade the bootloader in fastboot?
I ask because I don't fully understand the hard bricks that came with flashing CM recently. I just know that they had to do with the zip flashing the bootloader.
Thanks in advance!

You cannot downgrade the bootloader. You can run any ROM whilst having the 5.1 bootloader installed.

You can run whatever rom you want. There was an issue with earlier CM nightlies, where they were trying to do soimething with the bootloader that failed.
