[Q] verizon moto x 4.4 root

Hi all, i'm trying to follow the instructions in the original moto x development thread to root the device now that it has taken the 4.4 update. I'm unclear on the steps, if someone could please help. it says at the beginning of the thread
First you must use MotoWPNoMo, if you haven't then you will need to. Use RockMyMoto to gain root, then use MotoWPNoMo, and then restore to the 4.2.2 Camera update.
is this all done before step 1 in the directions? if so, i tried to run MotoWPNoMo but it failed at the end.
Is it possible to just use rsd lite and write the earlier software to phone, and then start with step 1?
Any input on clearing up the steps would be appreciated. I've been reading since last night and still not clear on what needs to be done first. I just don't want to mess up the procedure. Thanks

anyone?

Yep, I believe you use RSD to downgrade to 4.2.2. Read this tutorial, it is pretty easy to follow: http://w3.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/1t5ei6/guide_root_verizon_nondeveloper_moto_x_44/

[Q] From a Rooted Bionic to one with Lollipop

This the first time that I have attempted to root/customize a phone to this degree so explanations of what I'm doing and how to do it would be much appreciated.
As the title says I have rooted my Droid bionic and I'm wondering what steps I need to take to get it from where it is now to a lollipop device.
My understanding is that I need to unlock the boot loader then flash a lollipop ROM. Directions on how to do this or links to those directions would be very helpful. Thank you.

[Q] update rooted NK4 to OD6 lollipop

I have a rooted NK4 kit Kat note 4 (tmobile), stock, and when I want to run a software update through the settings, it can't update because my device has been rooted. I wanna know if there's a way I can upgrade to lollipop, through my custom recovery (twrp) to update my device to lollipop without losing my data and losing root. any way this is possible? Thanks in advance for any advice or answers.

You have to use kies

You don't need Kies to upgrade your phone to the new Tmobile COD6 Lollipop firmware.
Here is a link to an easy step by step guide which will guide you through the process.

Good luck,
Have a great day!

S5 Active Help

Hey guys, I have had an s5 Active for a while and my friend rooted it back in december. I have no idea how he did it or if the bootloader is unlocked. All i can say is that I have xposed installer installed. Can someone help me out with either unrooting and updating or updating and staying rooted. If I have to unroot that is fine I just want to do this right without bricking.
also I'm on 4.4.2
update:
So i'm reading around and am getting the gist of needing to update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 ota and then from there go to 5. I know that'll unroot me. Is this correct

In General Section u will find most if not all which u seek.
Here one post.

[Help] Installing 6.1 on Galaxy S4 Active (i537)

Hi - a year or so ago I degraded from 5.1 to 4.x
I am now looking to upgrade to 6.1.
I need to be able to get 6.1 on, and then remove root & SU.
Can anyone help me with a guide on how to do this?

Read the GUIDES.

All of the guides seem pretty convoluted/outdated. I click the 5.0.1 and the thread is empty...
All I want to do is flash 5.0.1, or 6.1, or whatever is easiest.
I am currently on a flashed 4.4.2 - Rooted w/ Towelroot, but I would prefer NOT to be rooted when I upgrade.
Just a simple flash of the OTA 5.0.1 will do nicely, preferably with a security patch update prior to March 1, 2019. Having a hard time finding a simple guide to just simply flash it. Everything seems to be very complicated trying to keeproot, etc, which I am just not really trying to do.
I just want 5.0.1 or greater on an already flash 4.4.2 device. (I can't to OTA from device.)

The threads definitely aren't blank, I just looked at them. Since you're rooted it's not as simple as just flashing the update, you need to be on unrooted firmware to start with. The guides explain everything. Make sure you read everything and follow the directions exactly. You'll have to completely wipe your phone since you're rooted, but it's all explained in the guides.
