reverted back too, needed tethering

RSDlite worked from 4.4 > 4.2.2 for non Dev Edition Moto Xs?

Will this wipe user apps and data?

Yes it will wipe clean everything. Just like the day you bought it from VZW. You will need to root again as well.

This is a time where I wish android had a stable backup option not requiring root. Normally I use titanium backup however I'm keeping this stock. iOS has nailed this with iCloud.

One thing that I forgot to add is you need to remove the getvar line in the .xml file.
I can only say this works for VZW. Not sure about other carriers.

so can someone post that they have returned to 4.2.2 from 4.4 on a locked bootloader vzw device please. I know people said you can, or it worked or whatever. But i just want to make sure that you are on a locked device and didn't misread the thread title or something.

yeah, post screen shots of kernel, etc.

I have personally done this on my LOCKED VZW Moto X.
Works like a charm. The RSD Lite, will flash it back to factory unrooted 4.2.2. You will have to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509590 to reroot if you want.

RSD doesn't want to see my phone, but adb and fastboot work fine. Any ideas? I'm using RSDLite 6.1.5.

I believe fastboot has commands for formatting the partitions and then just flash all the things I suppose.

This is very strange. I had read at a lot of places while updating to the camera OTA. that downgrade is not allowed..,,So now it is possible to RSD to 4.2.2 Camera OTA SBF even if we installed KitKat on a non-dev edition phone?

I think they meant downgrade to before the camera OTA?

help please
i'm a noob and need help.
i upgraded to 4.4 from 4.2.2. my 4G signal now sucks. i figure my options are to revert to 4.2.2 or if i could just find the radio kernel (or whatever its called) from 4.2.2 flash that and fix my problems.
i just don't know how to do either. can someone help (yes, hand hold me *embarrassed*) through the process so i don't brick my device?
I have a DE moto x on verizon
thanks

did you try booting into recovery and than see if it recognized your phone?

RSD doesn't operate via recovery
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Steps that I took to downgrade from KitKat. VZW Moto X Consumer (non-dev) (LOCKED)
1) download and install RSDlite and Motorola Drivers (I used RSDlite 6.1.5)
2) Download http://sbfdownload.droid-developers...2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57-X-1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
3) Unzip the file
4) Open the .xml file and delete the line that has "getvar"
5) Reboot your phone to "bootloader/fastboot" mode
6) Open RSDlite and load the unzipped edited download from above
7) Make sure your phone shows up
8) Start the flash
9) Once complete the phone should reboot and start up like normal.
I have not had any issues. I have rerooted with RockMyMoto.

Did I just brick my phone?

I've been stupid and tried to follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57479825#post57479825 but did the first line before noticing that there were several files missing:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
I can't follow the rest as I have most of the files missing, and now whatever I try to do it boots on Fastboot with the message:
version downgraded for boot
failed to validate boot image
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
Anyone know how to fix that?

You need to flash back to a full image.

Any idea where I can find it? I come from the Nexus line with all the images on Google's website, I have to admit that now with Moto I'm a bit lost, in addition to being not-that-clever.
It's probably worth noting that it's the uk version of the XT1092.

I found the RETEUALL_XT1092_4.4.4 but still can't do mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin with the 4.4.4 version as it won't let me downgrade the file, as the one that I flashed was the 5.0 one... (version downgraded for primary_gpt)
Is my only option for the official OTA for the XT1092 uk to be available to flash it manually?

bricked?

ok, what happened:
I were on 4.4.4 stock kitkat rom with root. i wanted to update to 5.0 lollipop and i used the moto x 2014 multitool package. i pressed 6 for sideloading 5.0 update.zip every operation turned out successful. and i pressed reboot device when it was done. but my phone wouldn't turn on. i have tried turning it on into bootloader, but then the green light lights up and the two IR led's on the right side light up. i would really appreciate some help!

Thankyou for answering.
my computer detects it as QHSUSB_BULK. And yes, i downgraded it from 5.1 to 4.4.4 by flashing stock firmware.

You will have to send it to motorola for repair, there is no way for you to fix it yourself.
The problem is you downgraded your phone, after a downgrade you cannot take an OTA ever or it will brick.

Did your phone have stock 5.0 or 5.1 before you installed CM? If so, then yes you did downgrade when you went to 4.4.4 which is why it is now bricked. That message that says QHSUSB_BULK means you are bricked, you will have to send it to motorola.

Nope. That tutorial won't work.
To unbrick the Moto X 2014 we need the blankflash files, but Motorola didn't release it yet.
If you send it to repair they will replace the MB.

Not, at least until Motorola release the files we need.

No it is not true, those files are not for our phone, they won't work. Until they are leaked, the only thing that can be done is send it to them to fix it.

i also have the same question, anyone has tried using a jig?

jig is for samsung phones to get into downloader mode. We have fastboot, not the same system. So no it will not work.
We have the tools we need, the problem is we don't have the signed files from motorola that are needed to flash. So until those files are leaked, you have no choice but to send it to motorola for the repair.

Have you got this figured out? Same thing happened to me,and though under EU law these asshats have to fix the phone, they refused to do so after I sent it in for warranty repair. Now Ive got a 300 euros moto paperweight.
Jtag work? Can anyone recommend a phone repair service?

Just got XT1095 with 4.4.4 stock... what next?

Just got a new XT1095 Pure with 4.4.4 pre-loaded. I've already gone through the 'unlocking bootloader' routine from the Moto website. What's next? Should I be taking OTA to 5.1 first or rooting first? Thanks for any help!

OTA first, you can't upgrade if you are rooted.

The 4.4 bootloader is fine with every rom out there. I wouldn't take the OTA since you are unlocked bootloader just flash the stock roms via twrp on the android develop section there is one for 4.4, 5.0, and 5.1. its the best way to not risk hard bricks. I have switched back and forth several times going this route. AGISCI posted them.

I also just got an xt1095, is this the latest ROM http://www.filefactory.com/file/5d66szhobgmx/VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.6_cid9_CFC.xml.zip ?
Also, I have unlocked my bootloader but didn't root yet (this is with 4.4.4 installed). If i simply DL this image and flash it using TWRP (which i have installed) will it overwrite TWRP or break it in any way? Can I then simply root via TWRP ( assuming it is ok) and boom have a fully rooted Lollipop phone ?

You can't flash firmware files with TWRP, it won't work.
You have to flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
As far as if it overwrites TWRP. If you use RSDLite, yes it will erase TWRP and replace it with the stock recovery. If you use fastboot to flash just skip the recovery image when you are flashing.

Why? Is this limitation only for stock images or ANY custom ROM too?

Because the firmware files are just standard images which get flashed and overwrite the partitions. The zips you run in TWRP are instructions on what to do and install. They are completely different things/formats.

XT1095 Not getting past "Warning, Bootloader unlocked" screen

I was currently running 6.0 update when I flashed twrp 2.8.7.1. This was successful and was able to boot into recovery but when I was rebooting through twrp it asked me to install superuser since I was not rooted so I said yes. After the phone rebooted I was stuck at "warning bootloader unlocked". In an attempt to fix this I tried going back to stock so I flashed stock recovery and image from 5.1 with the same results. So not sure if I put myself in a worse spot or not by trying to flash back to 5.1 or not. I can still get into fastboot but not sure what else to try at this point. Any help would be great at this point.

You need specific kernel to flash superSU.
Suggestion : flash stock 5.1

No, it's a modified kernel, not official. You will find them in the development forum here.
