Long story, but I lost my /system folder on my stock Att xt1058 running 4.4.2.
I have an unlocked bootloader.
Can anyone upload to a Dropbox, or somewhere else, just the system partition so I can restore via nandroid on TWRP? Otherwise I am stuck waiting for the SBF, since I can no longer downgrade.
Thanks

Well...
This is untested, but it is a flashable zip that I made from a dump of my ATT 4.4.2 /system. The kernel is included within the zip, but it is not automatically flashed, and you will need to use fastboot to flash it. (I intended this to be used with safestrap..)
165.44.1.ghost_att: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407581236
Let me know if this flashable zip works. I will post it with the instructions for locked bootloaders...
Will work on this in a few hours.
Just so I am clear, flash zip in recovery, pull boot.img out of the zip, and flash boot.img manually via fastboot. Right?

Exactly.
I see it was downloaded 9 times before me. I didn't have any luck with both TWRP and Philz's recovery. Flash stalled on "extracting system files" for 5+ minutes.
I would take the entire TWRP backup if you can upload that.
UPDATE: I deleted the boot.img out of the zip file, and it flashed, then manually flashed boot.img.
UPDATE 2: No radio, nor wifi to connect...Suggestions? I feel i am so close!

OMG, I think this file will help me to rescue my brick!!!!!
Can I manually flash this firmware on my device using fastboot tool?I have no idea about what safestrap is,please no hate.
It's still a WIP, after flashing, I didn't have radio. Will work on that tomorrow. If we get it going, I'll post something, with Ctrl-Freak's approval.

I can say that the 4.4 modem works fine with 4.4.2. Are you running a 4.4.x modem? If so, you might be experiencing "the radio" problem (One symptom, is that it shows "unknown" in status.)
This radio problem has plagued me in safestrap. No matter what 4.4.x rom I tried to flash, if I was already running 4.4.x, I could not TWRP /system, fastboot boot.img and keep a working radio. I had no idea the problem might persist with an unlocked bootloader's TWRP.
In the past, to fix the radio problem, I always need to downgrade to 4.2.2 (using fastboot->system, boot, modem and recovery.) Then I root, safestrap, load 4.4.x rom using safestrap's TWRP, then fastboot radio and kernel. After that the radio problem disappears.
However... Other people seem to be successful by doing a factory reset in safestrap's TWRP. For instance, look at these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-krypton-v1-1-4-13-2014-t2716657
Safestrap Version
-If you are already on 4.4.2 then boot into Safestrap and factory reset, do not wipe the system then install to the STOCK slot.
-If your not on 4.4.2 then go here and follow the instructions from my stock rom thread http://rootzwiki.com/topic/116025-ro...52-kitkat-442/ I don't feel like reposting them in here.

Previously, I looked at a rom that was intended for the above instructions. That rom basically did the same as mine: It formatted and loaded /system.

Those are all Verizon Radio's. Do you think I can grab the ATT version 4.4 radio and manually flash? I have that sbf available. Or will the Verizon work in an ATT xt1058

Sorry. I wasn't telling you to get that rom or the Verizon radio, I was pointing out that a factory reset in TWRP may help with the radio issue.

So I am guessing that you took the OTA to originally get to 4.4.2. You should already be running that modem. If that is true, I would not change it.

I factory reset prior to installing, should i wipe /system as well? I am running AOSP roms (PAC) now, and there is no problem with the radio.
I took the OTA, so I dunno what the radio problem would be. Wifi wouldn't turn on either, so i dunno if it's just a radio issue.
i am fortunate to be unlocked bootloader, so i got a copy of the GPE xt1053 posted here as well, and it appears it will work. I think i am gonna try to flash that, then your files w/o a wipe. How does that sound? Unless you got other ideas.

I do not fully understand the radio/wifi issue, so all of my ideas would be trial and error. Give your plan a go and let us know. I would love to know what causes this issue, as a solution should help us using safestrap.
Another thought. Maybe I have to flash the radio, even though I haven't changed. Kind of like flashing the boot.img. I haven't changed that either, but it had to be flashed to boot.
Do you know where I can grab the radio IMG? Can't seem to find it around.
I supposed I can pull it from Att 4.4 sbf. Which files tho, just the Non-hlos.bin file? I don't have the xml here @ the office so I don't know what to look for.
Thanks again for your help

Hi first off i wanna say thank you!
I have an XT1064 that was rooted and bootloader unlocked, i downloaded the right version and restored it using TWRP and it worked! I am now on 5.0 with out using any PC or anything..the only thing is i cant send a text...calls work fine just no text messages...can you help me? I also want to get rid of the dual sim feature as my phone only has one sim. Please help!
Okay so I tried to download and flash the OTA.zip for my phone and flash it through stock recovery and it aborts when verifying my current system because of the edited build.prop in this build. Is there any way to fix this without a PC? I don't have access to one right now. Feel free to PM me! Thank you XDA

Thanks for this Recovery. I really appreciate it. However, I am stuck with the phone thinking it's a Dual SIM phone.
How do I make it recognize that it's just one SIM Card.

I bought my X 2014 in Portugal a while back, before 5.1 was out.
If I recall correctly, the system version said something like "XX.XX.XX.victara_retes.retes.en.ES retes" or something along those lines where everything pointed to it being the Spanish version of the software.
A few months ago, I can't remember why, but I flashed the European version of 5.0 and now the system version is "22.21.19.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.EU retes" which has a mix of "reteu" and "retes". I didn't think this was a problem, but now I can't update OTA, I can't flash any of the Zips I find here on xda, motorola doesn't provide factory images for xt1092 and I can't find the spanish factory image anywhere.
Can someone give me some pointers to get me out of this jam and get the phone to update OTA again?
I really don't care if the version I end up with is spanish, european, or whatever...

Thank you. I'll try to flash the zip and report how it went
Edit:
I copied the zip to the phone, rebooted to recovery, "flash zip from sdcard" (or whatever the menu says) and quickly got the error
"E: footer is wrong, E:signature verification failed"
What does this error mean? Is the file corrupt or just not suitable for my phone? Am I doing things right? The Galaxy Nexus was so much easier in terms of switching roms
You can't flash firmware from recovery, that's why it did not work. You have to use fastboot or RSDLite from your computer to flash it.

RSDLite doesn't seem to recognize my phone, so I'll use mfastboot.
Should I do every step from servicefile.xml, including the last steps that say erase modemst1, clogo, etc?
Yes, do all the steps. Remember that "fastboot erase userdata" erases all your files just like a factory reset, so backup your files before doing it.

Good day everyone
I purchased a used Note 4 N910T, which came with 5.1.1 installed from T-Mobile.
I proceeded to root it following a guide in the forum, with success. I then accidently flashed 4.4.4 over it and now, as you've guessed, it's borked.
To make matters worse, I wiped EVERYTHING in Twrp in my sleepy stuper, so no backup, etc.
About all that I can do is get into Download mode, and Odin. Trying to enter Recovery mode just gets me Download mode.
Is there hope? May I please get some assistance?
Thank you
Odin stock 5.1.1. You should be back at that point.

I go to sammobile.com then look up my phone and DL the latest stock. Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction if that doesn't work. I do know that others have been in your position and fixed it with little issue. Might want to search the threads.

It was on DOK2 I believe with 5.1.1.
I have tried the official 5.1.1 several time but it starts right off with, "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file....." and stops.
Since I wiped everything, do I need to install the baseband and Bootloader first? If so which ones?
I was able to finally install TWRP. Yay. Baby steps.
Thank you, both. Your help is much appreciated.

Odin. Several different versions. No luck.
I finally gave up on stock and installed (flashed) another TW ROM (Maximum OvrDrive 3.1). Everything is fine now. Odd.....
Happy (though confused) camper.
I went to codeworks page:
There are 4 files for the x522 in firmware and 4 in modems. I am assuming the "19s" firmware is for India so is the "20s" for the US?
But the 4 files in the modem section is confusing, which one/one's are for the US model x522? here is the link for the modems https://host.llamasweet.tech/codeworkx/lineage/s2/

Oh you mean flash that entire rom? And will that install the bootloader and modem? In any case, i tried flashing those files but they won't flash, any suggestions?
Since those roms won't flash i had to look for individual bootloader and modem and stumbled into those files by codeworks, and i am assuming you are saying that those aren't the correct files?

it certainty restores boot. not sure about modem, I never touched it. you have nothing to loose flashing it. it supposed to be bone stock. just delete two lines in the script and re-save zip. you have to do wipe, wipe data, then mount, copy zip, flash, reboot. in that order, I wasted hours today finding out that order is required. otherwise, it won't load.

Unbelievable! It actually worked after the 2nd attempt. Even got the 21s update. Thanks :good:
The original question is still unanswered about which one is the correct firmware for the US model amng the firmware provided by codeworks, hopefully someone knows that and will share in interest of others that might have the same problem.
Thanks again @leo221 for providing a clear and easy solution.
