You must install the stock rom using CMD in the PC, but it will erase all your files

i could do it but now i didnt liked so much because of notifications that never goes away, its so anoying. motorola notifications, voice message notification. i know its a silly motivation to give up of 4.4.4 but its anoying me. you know if its possible to get ride of it without root? the stock rom i get its full of motorola bloatware.

Current SS 3.71 does not support 4.4.2 KitKat. It works for JB 4.3 only. We are waiting for new release SS for 4.4.2 KitKat.

Wish I had known before installing. Next question is.. how do I flash a zip .. like a keyboard without safestrap? I've rebooted to recovery.. but, get a message that the directory is invalid. Any help is appreciated.

I suggest you should do a whole lot of research before you started to flash things. Visit to the development thread and you can find out more info.
Go back to MJ5, and then flash KnoxRaid rom or any of those that ported by drake if you want to be on KitKat.

Found Drakey's instructions on simulating safe strap for now. was able to flash my keyboard. Looking forward to a safestrap for 4.4.2
Drake has been doing great things and Hashcode is still working on the bootlaoder safestrap issues. Hopefully we'll get it b4 the Note4 comes out!
question
im very new to flashing.my question is will i be able to flash a kitkat rom with safestrap after its updated for kitkat even if im on 4.3 because for some reason my phone says update failed after 25% and i realy want kitkat but dont know what to do other than flashing it with safestrap and i dont have a computer and using odin sounds a little over my head ( if i can get access to a computer).

Once SS is updated it should be fine. But the flashing process with odin isn't hard if you can get access to a computer. Drakey has very clear instructions in any of his ROM threads.

We have been able to get SS to work on the I337 4.4 NB1 build by first downgrading to 4.3 by only flashing some of the 4.3 partitions including the stock kernel then rooting and installing SS. Once we flash the Custom ROM in SS we flash back to the 4.4 stock kernel. From that point forward all we need to do to wipe and flash another ROM is flash the 4.3 kernel again.
I don't know if this will work on your device but it may be worth a shot.

Android 5.0.1

It showed up this morning for me on T-Mobile, Folsom, CA. but I didn't go for it yet.
No problems for me so far. Seems about the same as 5.0
Thanks!
Seems like only yesterday I re-rooted after going to 5.0.
My OTA failed. I have put stock recovery back but I am still rooted and have installed the custom LTE radios. Would one of the two be causing the problem?
Well, With 0 knowledge in the world of compiling and recompiling - can someone assist and build an flashable update to those who have closed bootloader but has TWRP recovery? (I've closed it in the past)..

One question why would you install TWRP and reclose the bootloader? That doesn't make scense.

Yes. Both will cause it to fail.
Flash the factory image manually (leave out the "-w" to keep your data), then re-root / flash radio if desired.

In the past I used to install custom roms. I've stopped but the TWRP was still on there.. and the locked bootloader is a mistake that iv'e made :/
well, got any clue what can I do without opening the bootloader once again?
you could root your phone and reopen the bootloader with an app called boot unlocker.
Long story short, I finally got the job done with Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit, what a breeze.
Any changelogs?
Is the upgrade worth?
Better than 5.0
rooting 5.0.1
Is the any difference in rooting 5.0.1 compared to 5.0?

5.0.2 is on the way.
OTA's should return to root if rooted.

This should be your device's matter.
Either reflash the same or try other radio.

Telephone (xt890 RazrI ) stuck on Intel-logo when booting

Hello all,
I have my Motorola RazrI stuck again since yesterday. That happens for 3 or 4th time, and everytime I was able to fix the problem easily, by re-flashing the Firmware using RSD Lite.
However this time, stuck is on Intel Logo, and if I try to re-flash the firwamre with RSD, it is failing on step 1.
- error is validation gpt_main failed
I have spent some time to check for any similar topics here, but all the suggested for this moment is not helping me at all.
I am sure it is a software issue, as the device itself is absoltely perfect in condition
I will appreciate anyone who can help me to solve it, and to have my phone back and working
Thank you in advance!
a quick clarification:
I think problem is because before the stuck, phone was running with KitKat version, and now I am trying to flash some older ROM via RSDLite ?
Can someone share some experience and let me know if I can find RSD compatible rom to re-flash .
Thanks

It is going to fail, you are trying to flash a JB partition over the kitkat one. You need the kitkat firmware for that to work.

Yes, i am assuming this is the "reason" and error message meaning.
However, can you point me where I can find such KitKat firmware?
Regards
Anyone, can someone help further with suggesting a link where I can download the KitKat version firmware, or any other possible workaround
Many Thanks

Your System Apps use high amount of RAM and they even clear user apps memory to do so. This is called memory leak.
You can i guess, since you have used Xposed, I would say flash any pre rooted 5.1 Zip

how to install lollipop again?

hello. i don't know when it happened, but... either after trying a Marshmallow ROM or Nougat ROM it started to happen. now when i try to install ANY Lollipop rom 5.0-5.1 the first boot has become infinite. i am aware the first time setup can take a long time, but it shouldn't take several hours and still no finish. the boot animations play, but i don't think any progress ever will be made. it has never taken this long before. can't even get my most used ROM up and running. i know it works. but there is no problem using KitKat or Marshmallow or Nougat. just now Lollipop seems broken.
does anyone know what i can do here?
Because you need to use Sony Emma flashtool and after do that, you can flash your lollipop rom

oh hey. thanks!
hopefully this will help get back to another ROM. it is strange, though. i actually got a Lollipop ROM to install. the ROM was found on accident. the download link in a 4.4.4 KitKat ROM thread lead to a page with only the links for a 5.1 and 6.0 ROM.
for now, i am going to stick with this one that i found on accident, it has what i need. and is very light. some reason KitKat doesn't seem to support USB audio. my headphone jack is busted, so that is very important.
out of curiousity, do you know what is preventing me from using the normal way to install some other Lollipop ROM's? i normally just copy the .zip to SD and install from recovery whatever is needed.
or maybe anyone else?

There was a need for Sony to change the boot image files, between which the partition recovery was modified
