Here is the original unmodified ota camera update for the vzw Moto x. Do not install unless you want to lose root. I'm posting this in case anyone wants to make it Safestrap flashable. DO NOT FLASH IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ROOT!!

I have a droid 2 non global. I had all ota updates and now i cant root my phone. I have tried everything, even the droid 3 root and nothing. Anyone else having this issue since the latest update? I am stuck and need this bloatware gone. And i want a good ROM. Please help..

If you installed the most recent update without using Voodoo RootKeeper to back up your root, you're up the creek without a paddle because the newest update breaks root and changes the bootloader so you can't SBF.
Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.
Thanks. That explains it!

Hello everyone, my question is hopefully simple. I'm rooted and safestrapped. I would like to know if I take OTAs in the future that break my root will safestrap still be there? Like for example, can I run a nonrooted stock ROM with safestrap installed or will safestrap get uninstalled if I take an OTA Update?
Hopefully my questions made sense. Thanks in advance for your answers.

You shouldn't be able to even accept an OTA if you're rooted, it won't let you go through with it. You should never accept an OTA regardless, and rather wait until someone packages the update up within a ROM so you can still get the benefits
I wasn't aware that being routed would not allow me to accept an OTA. Are you site this happens when the stock ROM is installed? Or, are you talking about if I have a prerooted ROM installed?

Good question, it's been a long long time on a previous device since I accepted an OTA :laugh:
Someone always packages it up as a flashable for us, just like the MJ7 Note 3 update....it's up the same week
OK then what I will be doing tonight is flashing the rooted stock ROM. This way I don't have to do worry about any OTA updates. I will be flashing in safestrap over the stock slot. No need to create a second ROM slot for the same ROM just rooted.

would be a help to root my DROID RAZR M, ota updated to 4.4.2 kitkat
If your asking about root there isn't any for 4.4.2. That I know of

At the moment there is no confirmed exploit for 4.4.2 unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Still holding out hope that someone can figure it out. If not, I'm still perfectly happy with the update. My phone is substantially snappier.

How do you root if you have an unlocked bootloader?
-Thanks

If your unlocked just flash custom recovery and flash superuser

I really need my Viper EQ... But since there's no factory image available yet (or is there??) I don't want to do it yet
I use viper as well as several other root apps. I'm just going to wait until someone puts out a rooted TWRP flashable package.

why don't you go back to factory unrooted 4.4.4, apply the 5.1 OTA and then flash TWRP and SuperSu again?
Ota has not been pushed for the XT1060 yet

Did it. It's over and I can publically post it is being released soon and/or now.

Maybe he means with stage fright going public it might mean a chance for root?

No what I mean is I just got done with a Motorola soak test for the Verizon Moto e 2nd generation and it patches the stage fright bug

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that it was coming and to not take the update if they're looking for possible root because once its patched I don't think it will be possible ever
Sent from my XT1528 using XDA Free mobile app
It will be firmware version 23.16.5.en.US
Just a heads up in this is only for Verizon that I am reporting this.

You absolutely need to have stock recovery on it for this to work for any OTA to work

Any link for the stock recovery would be great help. Moto e2 3g variant
Even the last update did not fix the vulnerability
