I got home and noticed there was an update available for my Moto X 2014 on AT&T. Its not an android update just security. Should i take it? Or would i have better luck waiting to see if someone can root 5.1 so i can bootloadee unlock?

It would be better to wait. Root is achieved through security exploits. If you install security patches you close the door to ways to gain root.

That's what i was thinking. Thanks.
As mentioned above, don't take the update!!
I'm in the same position as op. I keep getting a pop-up screen from motorola telling me to update. The screen only gives one option, something like "Yes, I'm in..." - only way out is by hitting the back button. It's not too big of a hassle - but the update pop-up happens every 2-3 minutes. Big pain in the ****.

I'm hoping that this means somebody is close to root access and motorola knows it. I messaged Kingroot about it and they mentioned that it is being worked on...

Go into app settings and force stop "MotorolaOTA". It will stop the notifications from popping up every 90 seconds...

Sorry if this is a repeat.
I just got a Moto X on Verizon and the update to Kit Kat before I did anything. Now I can't get it to sync with my corporate email with the native email app or Touchdown. This all works fine on my GNEX with 4.2.2
Is this a known thing? Is there a work around or am I stuck waiting for Verizon to fix this?
The same happened for me. The 4.4.1 update fixed it for me just look in the nexus 5 forum and you should be able to find an exchange app that is updated(you'll prob need to be rooted)I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531268 this and it works fine now for me. I went through auto setup and it hung up. but manual setup worked fine. Only had to change the server URL to make work. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the confirmation. I know I can search for this, but I'm traveling all this week with little time.
I'm new to the Moto X. I don't have the developer version. Could you point me to a thread/site for unlocking the bootloader and rooting the VZW Moto X?
Thanks.

Oh, and I'd prefer to stick with Touchdown if possible. Is there any way to get 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 without just waiting for VZW to push an update out?
Thanks.
Same problem here. Could someone post the fixed, installable, email and exchange files from 4.4.2? I'm not rooted. Thanks.
You guys are going to have to do a little leg work here. I posted a link. You can try to install it like a normal app not sure if it will work or not. Only other way is going to be to root. This is xda after all come here to root and hack your device

fair comment borex. I'm back from my trip and will spend some time finding the root methodolgy for my device. I didn't come expecting to be hand-held, but sometimes the root for a device is common and well known (like my previous GNEX). I've been around the block a few times. I had the original Siemens MDA

Thank you brorex!! That worked perfectly for me... This is much better than waiting for Motorola to push out new OS update with the fixes implemented!
Hey, everyone,
This is my first device in a while that isn't a Nexus (the rumors point to the next Nexus being 5.9" - Nope. Nope, so hard).
Well, anyway, I love this device, but I'm worried about development. Granted, I'm used to seeing development efforts pop-up for the device on the day of launch (yay, Nexus)... But it has been a little bit.
What say, you? Do you all think we'll have a good development community? Still within that return period... Talk me off the ledge, guys.

I'm waiting for the new Moto X to come to my door step. I have the first edition Moto X what's an unlocked bootloader. At first I was all kinds of excited to flash different roms. Time after time I continue to go back to stock running xposed modules. Stock-based features of the Moto X are just too darn useful. I plan on only running a few exposed modules on my pure edition
No, because I'm not rooting the phone. I bought this phone primarily because it offer almost all I need without rooting.
Just like most people that used the moto x, I mostly relied on xposed settings just to tweak around a few settings. Motorola's software is basically stock android with a few very useful features added. I used to flash roms ALL the time when I had my GS4, but I no longer have to do that with the moto x.

Interesting. Yeah, I think its features are really useful, as well. I just figured that since almost all of the features have been moved to an app, it wouldn't be too difficult to actually get them on a custom rom. But, yeah, all the features I want are really minor and probably could be added using xposed. Good point, I'll look into some of them.

The Nexus was almost perfect for me. I just found a ROM that was a little more suitable, set it up, and was able to stick to it for my duration with the phone. I would occasionally update to a later version... but I never really needed to. I just picked a good ROM, and stuck with it. I was hoping to do the same here.

Like I mentioned earlier - excellent point. On my GS3 and M7, I always flashed ROMs. I calmed down a bit with the Nexus, though. Hahaha
Looks like I'll be looking into Xposed. That doesn't mean I won't make some of my own modifications, though....
Thanks for the responses, guys!

The only thing I miss, is custom toggles. I didn't know stock android don't actually have toggles at all, they are more like shortcuts to the settings menu. It's more than annoying. And needing an app for flashlight sucks. If I could get that, would be all the mods I need.

Xposed settings allow for this. Download the GravityBox module within the settings. This allows you to customize almost every aspect of the phone, including all toggles. I set up my phone to have the torch flashlight as a toggle, EXTREMELY handy when you need it really quick.
Don't need development.
For those unrooted, see my no root survival page.
Notification Toggles is very good.
This is the first phone I've owned that I don't miss root at all. It has everything I need stock. Of course I would love to have root for gravity box alone but I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

65mb.
Hope this helps with the recent battery drain .
Battery is pretty good as is, for me. Curious how this will effect engboot, other potential roots, and switching to and from U firmware.
My battery would last me all day , up at 6am,thru work, get home, and by 11pm , be at 20%. Since the July update, I'm lucky to make it to 5pm.
No Samsung Cloud in this latest update, I guess I can just hope for it next month?
I'm not rooted, but one thing I noticed is the screen lock sound is broken. Unlock sound still works, but locking is silent. I see the sound is still there in a file manager, just has no audio... just don't know if I wanna root to fix that.

I've had success using Ez disabler to clear the data on the at&t software application. Every time you clear the data, it resets the 24 hour clock letting you check the servers again.
Seems like the 935a is a dead issues, might be time to shop around for something with an unlocked bootloader, especially coming from a nexus 6p.

As someone with a T-Mobile S7 stuck on bootloader version 3, this makes me happy. Apparently Verizon's is on version 3 too. I was afraid mine would just be permanently stuck on it while the other three carriers and the unlocked version get to swap back and forth.

Hello,
Can someone please explain if its possible to stop the update that lowers your battery to 60 max charge? Im with tmobile, running on the PI4 and have NOT updated yet but I received my first warning. I want to keep this phone, I dont feel I'm at risk and I only charge the phone when Im awake. Please let me know if this is possble, and if you can point me in the right direction. I'm not a complete newbie but Im not pro either.
Thanks in advance for any help
Look for the new thread under questions and answers saying package disable pro. It'll solve your problem. I also got the update but didn't apply it from Tmobile. Using the steps outlined from the user in package disabler pro version number 6.3 it removed the update icon I had received. Again, be sure to follow the instructions from that new thread by not using the newest version. Use the 6.3 that the poster provided.
Link is below.

You have to also remember and be careful to not update Package Disabler Pro or EZ Disabler in the PlayStore. Samsung forced them to remove system updates from their apps. Sucks to have to manually update everything, but that is where we are at.

I know that wasn't meant for me, but absolutely no can do!! The phone I will get may not be released in the US until January, plus T-Mobile still has my bill jacked up! I'm not going to fight them for a full refund until they stop charging me for a phone I already paid for in full! I've been fighting them since September to correct my bill! Then, they have to clean up that mess of charges for the Tab and everything else. I'm using this baby until the day my refund is clear to be deposited directly back into my account with no problems AND when I can get my hands on the Huawei Mate 9!
Bloody hell,I literally just today reenabled updates tonight and got an update pushed to me. 1. Should I take it? 2. What is changing? 3. Can I not take it somehow if I want to wait? 4. Can I later still accept it and do it?

Why wouldn't you take it? S8 had no issues with root, with all updates.
In BK disabler, search for SDM and disable the 2 packages. Bye OF A. I also disabled them in developer options. This is for Verizon, not sure about others.
Also, just curious if there will be an official XDA Verizon n8 forum.

People moan when they don't receive updates and moan when they do? I would advise you don't take the updates, Last thing you want is Samsung looking after your device.

4K 60fps?
I heard from another post on here, thats its a bluetooth security fix.
But dont know. I disable updates. It seems like after a few the phone starts to run slow
Any body know if the unlocked version has this update I'm waiting I'm mine. I plan to wait and see if root comes. Also because of the WiFi hotspot being unlocked out of the box. What if this update blocks this.
