Once you got your Developer Edition Droid Maxx You'll have to unlock the Bootloader so you can flash recoveries, roms, themes and some other stuff. Remember that only in Dev edition you Don't lose your warranty if you unlock your bootloader.
Be careful, the process of unlocking your bootloader ERASES ALL YOUR DATA, so the first thing i recommend you to do is unlock your cellphone bootloader then use it.
To enter in fastboot mode with your phone off, press Power + Vol Down
Here's the Link to Unlock Your Bootloader: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
To get Fastboot on your pc you can Download Minimal Adb and Fastboot which is lighter and faster than downloading full android SDK.
Also a Tip, when copying your device id, paste each line on the field one after another, and dont put spaces, sometimes when you copy-paste your device id you left a space and it shows as error.
If everything went ok, you are now fully unlocked and ready for the party.

Second: Get a Custom Recovery
Custom Recoveries remplace the stock android recovery and the main use of this is to flash roms, themes, backup, restore and some other things, Flashable Roms are always a .Zip Format
Theres lots of recoveries and they have different advantages and fails, but most of them can do the work.
To install you'll need just one line on fastboot.
Here's a List of Recoveries That work on our Device:
TWRP. (its Moto x Forum, dont Worry)
Safestrap
Philz Touch (based on CWM advanced 6)
The most user friendly i know and the one i use is TWRP
Now, if you want to stay on stock Rom i Recommend installing Xposed and Gravity Box

Third: Root in TWRP
For me the fastest Metod to root is Entering TWRP your first time, then Just exit
and before you exit TWRP will ask to install SU, swype to your right to install and then boot your phone again.
update the app, and thats all you are rooted.
There are other metods but the one i post here for me is faster and easier. you can look on the forums for more metods.

Optional: Installing Xposed And Gravity Box
Xposed its an app that modifies the look and actions of your stock rom (or any rom) without the need to be flashing things, just by overriding on boot the stock files. Its pretty useful and Great for customization.
You can learn more about it Here and Here
iB4STiD from the Moto x Forum has a Flashable Xposed and Gravity Box Module, which is the easiest way to install it.
Just Download it and flash it on your recovery. after that, update the app and install the framework and reboot again, it should be working.

Fourth: Flashing Moto X Firmware.
Here comes the interesting Part, you can flash the Moto x Firmware and work with it.
the upside down? if you have a verizon sim card and flash a moto x tmobile firmware it will not work and so on, they are sim locked as it were a retail at&t/tmob/verizon device, so you are pretty much limited to flash the moto x verizon firmware and/or the sim card your carrier is. i currently dont know how to change that but i believe its posible.
the list of all the Moto x Firmware is here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
in order to flash these firmware you have to put all the contents of the firmware in the minimal adb folder and copy paste this commands to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
just copy the code and paste it on the fastboot command line on your pc and you are all set.
it will boot as a moto x.
When you Install Moto X Firmware, soft keys will stop to work and you'll have on-screen keys just like moto x, in order to fix this you can flash this fixed framework-res by Skrilax_CZ and uploaded by Gundabolu SC on your recovery and you'll have a moto x firmware and soft keys working, that framework only works on android 4.4.
To come back to Droid Maxx Stock Verizon 4.4, download the Droid maxx firmware here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4
put your phone on fastboot mode and
and run the flash_all.bat inside the .zip file, it will boot up again as a normal droid maxx.
If you do something wrong, your phone force closes, or you screw up, remember that you can always flash firmware back to Droid Maxx Stock Rom, so Dont worry.

Five: Installing Moto X Roms
You can install Moto X Roms, from moto x forum, just flash the required Moto X firmware, install a recovery then download the Rom .zip and finally to flash the rom on the recovery, and you are all set to enjoy a custom rom. oh dont forget the capacitive keys fix if you want your keys working.

Six: Staying on Stock Verizon Rom
If you decided to stay on verizon's 4.4 stock rom, i recommend you to install Gravity box, change your status bar to white and install this moded Sistemui.apk by erishasnobattery so you stay as close as AOSP as you can.
you can also install the google now launcher located HERE for a closer look to a nexus 5
Or you can install my Debloated stock rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716824

I, personally, haven't had any issues on 4.4 yet. You can downgrade the boot, system and recovery images as well as the modem, but the bootloader and gpt.bin stays on 4.4. If you DO decide to downgrade I would highly recommend freezing the OTA as there is a possibility of bricking the device if you take an OTA. If you downgrade to 12.7.7, the pre camera update, and try to take an update to 12.15.15 you WILL hard brick. I am unsure of what happens if you downgrade to 12.15.15 and update to KitKat.

I talked to online costumer support Thursday night, and they set me up with a ticket for the "level 2" technicians. I was going to call yesterday but couldn't because of work. Then, just now this morning, I tried again, same key, just copy and paste, and it worked. I can only assume it didn't work at first because I had just received and activated the phone earlier that day, it must take some time before it registers in their system or something.

Great its been a long time and wanted to make sure it was correct as not had much response unlike my other tutorials.

First of all THANX!!!! I'm a big fan (I got the Motorola Photon way back when, and you were my source for all the coolness)!!!
Have you checked this thread out? I've done it and I'm rooted without unlocking my bootloader (didn't void any warranties). I can confirm that it works on the Sprint Moto X, but I'm pretty sure that it works on all variants...
In any case, keep up your great work!!!

Thank you for your time and effort to make these videos.
It might be worth being a little more specific in your wifi hotspot description though. The Rogers Moto X requires no mods to use wifi/bluetooth or usb hotspot, its 100% based on the provider and pretty much every data plan in Canada can be used any way you please. And it will never be "free", its always tied to the data plan.

Its way safer to unlock the boot loader and flash a custom recovery, you'll be free to flash Roms and mods without majors issues, pwnmymoto is not a permanent root method. The only draw back is unlocking the boot loader voids your warranty although if you screw up your phone with safestrap, you probably voided your warranty too

Hi qbking77,
Saw your you-tube videos. Looks great and fairly straight forward. Not very different from my Moto RAZR.
Do you know if there is a way to re-lock the boot loader for warrant etc?

Relocking your boot loader will not make any difference for warranty purposes, Motorola has your info as soon as you unlock through their website

True, but it is possible to get the code and not use it. It is the act of Unlocking that breaks the warrant, not getting the code.
If there were a way to reset the device and relock the Bootkloader then you could "Say" you go the code but did not use it.
on a purely theoretical side I am still interested in if anyone has been working on this.
I suspect that there is some hidden switch in the hardware that would be triggered if the Bootloader is unlocked so there would be no point but still it is worth asking.
Cheers all
Will this method work on latest camera OTA update?

I would also like to know whether this will work with latest camera update. Also, if and when we finally get 4.4 will it work for that. I just want to get root, not flash roms. The support here is abysmal. I came from the s4 and there's so much support there you don't know what to do with it. I get that this phone is phenomenal, but a little help would be nice

Well the S4 needs major help in de-cluttering... but agreed, not a lot of support (not that I know what I am doing...). But tons of Dev Editions have been bought so hopefully that will boost people here!

You just resurrected a VERY old thread.
The procedure hasn't changed.
The easiest way (in my opinion) is to save anything important to you and then use RSD Lite to flash the entire stock 4.4.2 SBF (this will erase everything).
Then, take the OTA. After you are successfully on 4.4.4, you fastboot flash TWRP recovery, and it offers to root for you. Then you can set everything up as you like.
If you are against erasing everything, you can flash stock recovery back on, un-do any modifications you have made to /system, uninstall Xposed (if installed), then attempt to take the OTA. This method is riskier. You will still have to re-flash TWRP afterwards and re-root.
Good Luck!

Then, take the OTA. After you are successfully on 4.4.4, you fastboot flash TWRP recovery, and it offers to root for you. Then you can set everything up as you like.
If you are against erasing everything, you can flash stock recovery back on, un-do any modifications you have made to /system, uninstall Xposed (if installed), then attempt to take the OTA. This method is riskier. You will still have to re-flash TWRP afterwards and re-root.
Good Luck!

I'll have to read up on RSD Lite SBF, I rooted using fastboot... I'm familiar with TWRP. Can easily return modifications. Thanks for the response.

MOTO E Experimental Root. Not sure if it works. Try on your own risk
This guide helps you to root your Moto E
1) Install Framaroot
2) Use Gandalf exploit to root your device
Wait.... you may have to unlock your boot loader first
Warning : Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty
I am unsure whether this method works or not. But I have seen Framaroot work on other devices running the same specs but you can try. But I think we'll first need permissions from moto to unlock moto E
i think we'll get the answer soon
Wait so you've declared its rooted, then said you don't know whether it will work or not. Please do not mislead users this way.

I'm not misleading anybody. I am just suggesting if anyone wants to try it they can.
But I'm not as of now a 100% sure this would work.
Since this worked on other devices with same chipset I think it should work here too.
You are. The first words the user reads is [ROOT]Moto E. Which means this is a rooting guide. The next ones they read are a deceleration of "MOTO E ROOTED". Can you please change the wording. Thank you.

I would like to remind everyone that XDA is a "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK" site.
The OP now has warnings in it for a reason.
If you are willing to risk the damage to your phone proceed with caution.
I will add that most development starts with a few "bumps" in the road so hold on tightly

Half Way
I followed the steps to unlock my bootloader of Moto E first as instructed in official Motorola website. They sent me mail with unlock code by checking my device id. Process was just like Moto G. But after that I installed custom recovery like CWM and TWRP meant for Moto G in fastboot mode. But Every time, when I try to boot into recovery mode after flashing it's showing 'Mismatching Partition Size' and then 'Boot failed'. No custom recovery of Moto G worked and I got the same message. I think we need a specific custom recovery written for Moto E. Even I can revert to my stock recovery too! Can developers please help me ragarding this custom recovery mode issue of Moto E? Assistance appreciated.

This couldn't have worked because Moto G has a different CPU.
Until we'll get a flashable stock firmware or someone with root will dump the recovery partition there's no way to fix your phone.
But it's great to hear that unlocking is possible now.

Yes I unlocked the bootloader successfully. But thing is that I try to root it at any cost. There is no intention of getting the stock one back. I need custom one meant for moto e which will install SU.zip at ease. Actually net 2.21GB internal memory is too low to work on heavy games. Even with this Adreno 302 GPU it is handling games like Asphal8 8 quite well. So root is absolute need!! Developers, please help.

As this is only a share of someone else's work it should stay in the general section for now.
Possibly once the process is a sure thing then maybe it will be moved.

Yeh I knew. But I just tried to root it desperately. Hope, developers should come with better and proper solution soon for this newly launched device. But my device is not briked. It's working fine in normal boot. Just recovery mode is not booting up. Even as there is no stock firmwire available for Moto E as of now over the web I couldn't get the stock recovery. So I said I am in half way.
Is it like that at no time I can change the state of my present situation of recovery mode even if there is specific custom recovery for Moto E released in future??!!

Thank You Sir.
I do understand the cautions by the users. So I would be soon updating this thread as I will be getting my Moto E.
Also I don't think this method has the potential to brick the device.
Thank You

Guys Please DON'T FLASH ANY MOTO G recovery. They will brick your device. Also those who have the moto E can they confirm whether this method works.
Thank You

First of all this is one of my firsts threads in XDA Forums. And this does not mean I don’t have any experience on Android, in fact, I have a lot, in the past I have the Galaxy S1 Captivate, MyTouch 4G and the Galaxy S2 T989 Hercules. I root all of them, change to different roms, kernels, stock roms, etc etc. I don’t always post because when I want to post something, someone already answer the question. Now I have the Moto 4G LTE XT1045 US version of single sim card (not the dual one), I have root it, I made some mistakes playing with the /system and /data partition with some apps that use root access and I soft brick the device. I turn it back on and the device was always in the “bootloader warning” screen. So I need in some way to go back to stock. Now that successfully restore the device I will not play with the partitions.

I find a few threads (which I give credits) and I restore the device back to stock. The problem is that what I do to restore back to stock, require me to go to different threats and different sites, I just can’t find one threat explaining everything in a nice and good looking way like the one that I am going to show you. Here in XDA we have experts, users and newbies, this is just an easy method for any of them.
(If you want to only Root the device in a safe way that don’t change your recovery, or the bootloader, just let me know, I am thinking in creating an easy-guide for root this device).
And second, thanks the users of the following threads, that are the ones responsible of almost all the things that I am going to say. (not in a specific order).
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1045-stock-rom-dump-t2794145/page2 (post # 14 by suhridkhan led me to an excellent guide).
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53660639&postcount=1&nocache=1&z=2567116348072886 (who led me to Firmware Factory).
3. http://www.firmware-team.com/showthread.php?t=1146 (post where I choose my stock rom XT1045 and I proceed to download).
4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 (the excellent guide, I mainly use the 3b instructions)
5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53765029&postcount=83&nocache=1&z=3906391665805131 (I confirm the order of the flash process)
Disclaimer:
Follow these instructions at your own risk. If something goes wrong don't blame me!
I have only tested this on a US Retail Moto G XT1045 with an unlocked bootloader.
There is a high chance that his guide will work will the others LTE variants(XT1039, XT1040 & XT1042), however, I don't have a proof of this since I only have the XT1045 and the threads that I use don't say anything about if it works or not in that variants. If it works, the only difference will be the .xml.zip file from your specific device. If you use this guide for one of those variants, please let me know so I can update the guide with that device that at this moment I don't have proof if it works or not, thanks.
OLD STATEMENT, THE ZIP IS OUT, READ GUIDE CHANGELOG. Users of the XT1045. We already have receive the OTA update of KK 4.4.4. If you already have updated your device to 4.4.4, please, do not use the 4.4.3 files to downgrade and restore your device to stock. The files from 4.4.3 are not going to work, I repeat, the files from 4.4.3 (the link I provide below) are not going to work. If you update to 4.4.4 via OTA and mess (or something inexplicable happen) with your device and now your device doesn't boot, then you must search in other threads for a solution. To follow this guide for a 4.4.4 stock, we need to wait for for the 4.4.4.xml.zip file, and as far as I know, that file is not yet available to download. I have search in everywhere and the file is not available, once I know that the file is available, I will download it and I test it with this guide and my device, and if it works I will update the guide with the new download link.
Guide Change-log:
I decide to create this "Guide Change-log" section to post the short-length changes that I have made to the guide, so that the old ones a new ones can understand everything. Everything that I post are things that I personally have tested, I will not post something without testing because I don't want to brick any phone (and if that happen I am not responsible, this is XDA, everyone in XDA know that and all the risks), if for some reason I post something not tested, I will let you know. If someone test something and it works, I update the guide with that user name because that are his credits, which ones I am really grateful. A grateful thanks to @NWKENT for the help you brings to the users while I wasn't in here.
01. The original post.
02. 19/Ago/2015:
A. I create this section.
B. The 4.4.4 update xml.zip is out. They two are both the same as far as I know. I have not test them in my phone for the reason that I already have my XT1045 in Lollipop, I am not going to try to go back to KitKat, there's a significant change in versions, I can't risk my device, I am planning to buy another XT1045 for rabbit-tests like this, but for now I only have one device. I will search some info and let everyone know what I can find. In case someone want to try, these are the links of the 4.4.4 xml.zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61789810&postcount=41
LET START
Pre-requisites:
a) Unlocked bootloader.
b) Download and install Motorola Drivers:
http://www.mymotocast.com/download/MDM?platform=windows
c) Download the stock firmware:
In our case (XT1045) is the RETUS_XT1045_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.23-4_cid9_CFC.xml.zip from https://mega.co.nz/#!kFYC0DbD!yNkcJbtMlEEM6kBOeVwYCRp3Fcv9gwKvC3EtgC-Du-k
d) Have the ADB active in your computer. In my case I already have installed the Android SDK and configured the ADB in the “Path” of my Windows 8.1 x64 system.
To do that right click the “This PC” or “Computer” icon on the start button and click “properties”, from there go to “advanced system settings”, click “environment variables”, from the system variables find the “Path” variable, click edit but DON’T delete anything, at the very end of the “Variable Value” add a “;” and add the path of your adb platform-tools folder. In my case is C:\android-adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools
For example:
The end of my PC Variable Value is: C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\
You must make this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\android-adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools
Now you click OK, click OK again and test if it works, to do that go to any windows explorer and press the shift button and right click, and click “Open command window here”. Write “adb” and click enter. If it say Android Debug Bridge version XX.X.XX and a lot of letters then you’re good to go, if your press adb and it say not found or something like that, then something is wrong.
e) Extract the RETUS_XT1045_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.23-4_cid9_CFC.xml.zip to a new folder in the desktop of the PC. Or your preferred folder.
f) The firmware we download earlier end with .xml.zip, for this reason we are going to need to download the Motorola Fastboot mfastboot-v2.zip (attached to this post) and extract only the .exe into the same folder as the stock firmware files (the same folder as the .bin and .img files). *User @darknomad23 finds out that mfastboot does not work with USB 3.0, so, use only USB 2.0. Thanks man.
Steps to restore stock firmware:
1) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode.
a) Unplug the USB cable and power off the phone.
b) Press and hold 'Volume down' and ‘Power’ button on the phone for around three seconds and let go the two at the same time.
You should now see the Moto G LTE bootloader screen with the following options:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
Barcodes
BP Tools
QCOM
c) Connect USB cable to your computer. Wait for the driver to be installed.
2) Open a command prompt (Start -> cmd.exe in Win7,8) and browse to the folder with the extracted firmware. Simply go to the folder with the extracted files and press the shift button and right click, and click “Open command window here”. In that folder you must have all the .img and .bin files and others, plus the mfastboot.exe file.
3) Flash each of the partitions in sequence using mfastboot, you need to enter the following commands one-by-one checking that each one returns an [OKAY].
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
In the: “mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.(0,1,2)” you must have the dot, the dot before the number. In some of the other guides I see that they do not add the .0 .1 .2 and it creates an error because the file is never found.
If you want the device to reboot automatically to bootloader mode each time you restart the device you can use this command:
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
If you don’t want to reboot automatically to bootloader mode you can use this command to clear that option on the device.
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
That’s all. I hope it works to you like it works to me, anything just let me know in the thread.
I've seen a lot of threads explaining the same thing, but not a single one specifically meant for the LTE, and being this complete. I have seen a few LTE owners panicking after following the steps in those threads too literally.
These are errors that are easily made, and could have been avoided if this thread had been up here earlier.
It might not be original development, but still very useful in the LTE threads?
You can see he put a lot of time in trying to make it as noob-friendly as possible, and even mentions and credits the original threads he used info from.
Many OP's don't even bother, or steal other's ideas making it look like it's their original idea. Tweaks anyone? [emoji13]
I wish all were as honest as this guy is, so kudos to the OP of this thread [emoji106]

It's definitely worth posting here as far as I'm concerned. I don't wish to wade into the vanilla Moto G forums if I can avoid it.
Hopefully I'll never need these instructions, but good to know they're here if I ever need them.
I have a US retail XT1045 Moto G bought from Amazon. It's running Android 4.4.3.
I unlocked my bootloader, replaced the warning screen, and rooted it. Looking forward to putting TWRP and a custom ROM on it when I get my PC back.

That’s right. There is a lot of threads about the Moto G, but for the LTE there isn’t lots of them. In a matter of time the community will grow. Now I just want to help the users, and I think that I am doing right.
I know about the errors, when I try to restore my phone to stock I try a few times before I can succeed, I succeed by my own and reading a lot. Once I successfully restore to stock I decide to make a thread so the others don’t make the same mistakes and errors that I made.
When I was going to post the thread I think and I was something confused if I post the thread in Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or Moto G 4G Android Development section. I decide in the Development because I as a user when I first search for my 4G version, I search in the 4G threads. Not the Q&A or General. I am looking for the 4G, not the “Not 4G version”. And since that there is not lots of threads in here, it would be better for the users. This is not the first thread of “back to stock” in Development section in XDA.
Yes, I like to give credits. I prefer to give credits. I know I could make this as totally mine and my ideas. But no, I am here to help, and being helped, that’s all. In a future I don’t want to have some “discussion” or “problem” in here about the info that I use, or something about their thread, stealing info, etc etc, you understand. I prefer to give credits.
And thanks for being sincere about what you think.

You're welcome.
In my case I only have one phone right now, this one. I need a stable phone and rom. I am running stock KK 4.4.3, I unlock my bootloader, and I root my device. In my personal thinking, I don’t want another rom or recovery, only the 4.4.4, the one that as far as I know it is not available to our devices yet. As I know there is not a really stable recovery to our devices, I only want root.
Why don’t you do what I do?
I unlock the booloader, root the device, and install the Xposed Framework.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
With the Xposed Framework installed and Gravity Box KK module from their repositories in the Download section I make almost everything of what I use to do in the custom roms. With Xposed, and Gravity Box I don’t need a custom rom for now.
I think this is a good thread. The information is tailored for the XT1045 user. I am not new to Android, but I am new to the XT1045 and I sure don't want to read about other Moto G devices that have nothing to do with the XT1045.
With that, the only criticism I have is using terms that the new guys will not fully understand, or instructions without steps to complete the instruction. Like boot into bootloader mode. I will have to research that to find the way to do it. However, if you say boot in bootloader mode and then give instruction on how, the battle is won.
I know this may sound silly, but having step by step is valid. I just ordered the XT1045 and should have it in a few days. I have at this time no plans to root or anything else. Not until I understand the device. I did the same with my SGT3 10" tablet. I had no problems because there were good step by step instructions on how to root.
The other device I was look at before buying the XT1045 was the Nexus 5. I found a thread that gave such detail instruction that it was not needed to look anywhere else. Here is the link so you see what I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905
I am sure this info is available elsewhere, but it was all right in one posting. I have never seen anything like it before. It was well written.
Thanks for you set of instructions for the XT1045.

If you've got nothing constructive to add to the discussion, don't even bother posting.
I'm not going to single anyone out at this stage but the negativity and sense of entitlement around here is ridiculous.
Everyone has a right to their opinion but that's where your entitlement ends as far as I'm concerned.
Your right does NOT extend to posting your negative opinion here and derailing a thread from it's original intent - TO HELP PEOPLE.

No Sir, not ignorant..LOL
I like to test, I usually purchase two of each device, and I have just purchased another XT1045 a few days ago, and I'd like to do some testing now..as long as one can revert, then I enjoy testing..
If you'all where to see a zip OTA or a Factory FXZ (when available) please post a link..thank you..
The XDA firmware pages (XT1045) doesn't even have 4.4.3 posted yet.?

Ah, okay. I (like a lot of us here do) have a slight phone fetish, as well (as you can see in my sig.)
Normally, I buy last year's flagships so I can get two phones for the price of one current flagship.
Originally I had bought a Moto G, then traded up to a 4G - to use a "backup" weekend phone.
Then two strange things happened: 1. I started carrying around my virginal white-on-white 4G LTE more than my flagship phones because it's so incredible and beautiful, so I became paranoid. The I realized that at $229, it cost almost as much as my used flagships G2 D801 and One M7 (275 and 300, respectively), so I'm as nervous about the 4G.
So last week I bought a cheap unlocked used 8GB MotoG for $119 as my "beater" and test mule. Rooted, Xposed GEL and - you guessed it - now this is my new favorite daily driver.
Not sure if this thread is still active, but I need help with this. I follow all the steps exactly and then when I try to boot up normally for the first time it says:
USB connected
Invalid boot image header!
Boot up failed.
What does this mean in terms of this guide?
2 questions.
Is there a cwm flashable zip of the stock rom for the moto g 4g lte?
Do updates work if youve unlocked the bootloader and rooted your phone?

Here is my OTA 4.4.4_21.11.56 peregrine (XT1045).. I have not seen a full (factory) FXZ for the XT1045, Nore have I ever seen it posted to the firmware pages..
One would flash this zip in TWRP or CWM..onto the existing (4.4.3)..

Fixed. Installed mfastboot incorrectly. I fixed this and used mfastboot, all is good now.
Sorry for my late reply.
@NWKENT
We have the 4.4.4 OTA update for the XT1045 a few weeks ago, I know. But at this time I have not find the .xml.zip file of the KK 4.4.4, I mean the one of around 500MB or 600MB. If you find it please let me know so I can update the guide, thanks.
@Voiding
Yes the guide still active. Because of the university I only connect when I have the time but yes it will be always active. Once I found new things I will keep updating the guide.
Glad that you can fix the problem.

Bricked my XT1580 UK N
Hey XDA Developers
I admit i am an idiot!
I tried to root my XT1580 with a tutorial (not able to post link) and of course i bricked my phone big time. Is there a nice developer wich would try to help me flash a stock rom to my phone and hopefully make it boot again?
I used: twrp-2.8.7.0-kinzie.img
And SuperSU v2.65
I now downloaded Stock Marshmallow 6.0.0 /// XT1580_KINZIE_RETMX_DS_6.0_MPK24.78-8_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip as i tought this would be the fiting stock rom for this device and region i live (Switzerland) but i am not very shure how to do it and i just dont want to destroy my belved xt1580 more than it allready is.
I am happy for any response.
Best Regards

stock recovery.img would be flashed same as twrp.img
fastboot flash recovery.img
stock recovery.img is in the stock firmware xml.zip
just unzip
or just flash firmware with RSD Lite, just need to be sure that it's for your model, region and carrier.
I'm not sure how many options are available

Okay. I´ve tried with fastboot with no sucess. With RSD it starts and flashes until 20/29. It stops saying this:
on RSD: Failes flashing proces. 20/29 flash modem "NOH-HLOS.bin" -> Phone returned FAILS
On Phone it says: Image is too large

Hello,
I need some info on the chinese XT1581.
Is the bootloader unlockable? root? Are there any custom roms available for this device?
The only difference is the dual-sim?
Has anybody experience with this device?
Thanks!
I know I'm going to regret this and I probably already do so here goes:
I picked up a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 off craigslist tonight, traded another phone for it (LG Stylo 2 Plus) and everything was working fine during the actual meeting with the previous owner. He checked out the Stylo while I checked out the Turbo 2. Aside from scuffs and scrapes and whatnot I decided it was worth the trade - he said he was moving to Europe and just wouldn't need it anymore and he then showed me his Moto X Force (first time I'd ever seen one in person, verified it with the phone info, etc) and I figured what the hell, I'm good.
So he leaves, and me having not messed with a Verizon device for some time figured "Ok, I know all the Verizon devices are GSM unlocked from the factory since the summer of 2013 because of the FCC frequency auctions, no problem..." and then I power down and remove the T-Mobile nanoSIM from my Moto X 1st gen and power down the Turbo 2, etc, moving the nanoSIM over.
Power the Turbo 2 back up and of course I get the "SIM Card not from Verizon Wireless..." notification which I've seen in the past. I go into Settings and then set it for Global mode and... nothing, still doesn't work. Check the About phone info, it sees the nanoSIM, doesn't pull the APN data from the card so I put it in manually, still nothing. Reboot, still nothing, and so on and so forth.
I do some research and find out that Verizon - since some point in 2015 - now sells their devices technically unlocked for GSM operation but there's some funky network-specific lock on them for at least 1 year after the sale/purchase of the device so they guarantee they get something back on their investment. I called the previous owner, asked him what the deal was, he said he bought it December 1st 2015 and because he was moving that was that and it wasn't his problem anymore.
So yeah, I'm probably screwed on this for use with T-Mobile now but I figured I'd ask here anyway: not looking to rip anybody off but, I don't use Verizon, never have, never will, and I don't even know anyone that uses them either so I'm not sure how to proceed. In the good old days you could do the 4-corner trick and bypass the need to activate the phone with Verizon but obviously nothing is that simple anymore.
Is there any way to get this device up and running with T-Mobile since it should be unlocked? I called Verizon and they said because I'm not the original owner/purchaser (neither is the guy I got it from, apparently he got it used himself earlier this year) they won't provide me whatever info or method is required to make it truly GSM unlocked as it's supposed to be so I'm stuck there.
It's not blacklisted, at least that Verizon would tell me, nor stolen from what I gather - I checked the ESN against several sites like Swappa and CheckESNFree and it shows green/clear/ready for activation and yet it's just not happening.
Any advice or suggestions or straight out method to get past that aspect and make it work properly with T-Mobile is greatly appreciated if anyone can help.
If I end up using it as a Wi-Fi only device, so be it, but that wasn't the idea when I got it - my mistake was not doing research ahead of time on this new device. I've owned several Droid MAXX/Ultra/Mini smartphones - all Verizon devices of course - and never had to deal with this activation BS, I just put my T-Mobile SIM card in them and rebooted and wham, always worked without problems.
I should have known it wouldn't be that simple anymore.
