MF3 Stock

I rooted MF3 and all I have is root, is there anyway I can return back to stick with complete restore? If not, I can just back everything up. I will do it no matter what. My phone is working just fine, just wanted to go back to stock?

If you mean unroot, then you unfortunately cannot do that at the moment. There is no MF3 factory image to flash back to, as of now at least.

What do you mean, back to stock? The way it came out of the box? The way it is now unrooted? Not sure what you want to do. And how are you backing it up?

Apps don't matter to me. I can send all my pictures and text messages etc. To the computer. I mean unroot, sorry. But since there isn't any, I will just have to wait it out. Thanks for the information.

It's probable that you can unroot. Do you have super su? You can do an unroot in settings within it.

Yes, I have super su, is that safe? Then I will do it?

I've never tried it with mf3 so I can't answer that. It works on other firmware. Why do you want to unroot?

Because, I've always had bad luck with root and everything never works for me when I try it. Once a stable rom comes out, I will try my luck, but not at this moment.

Good choice. Sorry I can't be of more help

I don't think just rooting is going to cause issues. Keep it and enjoy those benefits for now.
My BackUp Pro is good for backing up most things on phone. Of course you got Titanium BackUp too.
I didn't even want to flash roms on this phone. After years of doing it I was getting tired. But, did it anyway. I like TW, so don't care about aosp etc. All I really gained from flashing was some theming and nandroids. Phone, I thought, was exceptional even unrooted.

There is now stock available which was taken from Samsung Kies. Just download the file and you'll be able to flash it in odin!

Can you provide a screen shot... Last anyone knew there is no MF3 on Kies.

Wow--watch your links--
Your unedited post made it sound like you already ran it--
"Just make sure you're on windows and it'll work beautifully! It was only til recently that mf3 started to show up through Kies. Thank AdamOuler, he's the real genius behind all of this!:

I don't know about complete restore, but some people where successful on unrooting on mf3. I didn't try it. If anybody is interested, here it is:

Update: just did the unroot method on mf3,and it fully unroot when I used root checker, it said sorry. So I guess it gone. Still runny fine five minutes after.

Updated to 4.2.2, get no signal now

I restarted my phone, reinserted the Sim tried everything I'm still not getting signal, anyone have this problem?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

How did you update? OTA, flash ROM, etc...Have you tried SIM in a different phone? Could be a bad radio? What does your baseband say in System> About phone?

It was the official OTA
I never updated because 4.2.2 killed LTE but then I did anyways
My baseband says unknown
Edit: the 4.3 update came, I tried updating but it said error half way through wtf!!!

See this a lot, updating killed the radio. You probably don't have an imei number either.
Try flashing an official factory image.

Don't waste time with doing anything else. Flashing the factory image will not get your imei number back and without it, you will never get a signal. When you call to RMA it, be sure to tell them you lost the imei number during the upgrade process. They should have plenty of lost imei cases in the system already.

Regardless it's safe to just flash the factory update, then see where you can go from there if all fails use that as your last resort

ATT Moto X Camera Update Rolling out

Looks like the update is rolling out. Guessing this should not break the root exploit for non dev editions correct? If one is currently rooted, they would have to return 100% to stock so stock recovery is there for the OTA update to successfully install. And then re-root?

I did that with this phone once and it screwed it up. I do not recommend this method unless you want to factory reset.

I'm wondering how I can get the update. I bought the phone from Rogers, but use it with Bell. I'm not on the Rogers network, so I'm sure I can't get the update OTA from Rogers. I'm hoping there's a rom or kernal or something I can flash/install.

Shouldn't matter. The update doesn't come from YOUR provider, the device's ROM is designed so that it pulls from Rogers' servers. When Rogers releases the update, you'll get it.

I did something wrong. My phone keeps restarting after every 30 seconds. I guess I'm going to factory reset.
And that isn't working. Looks like I'm in for a couple of hours of figuring out how to make my phone a phone again.

For those of us that use Motoroot, should we unroot then update, or can we update with the root?
Also, if we unroot to get the update will we be able to use the same method to root again?

so did you just follow the instructions as the tutorial thread or did you do something different? My phone pinged that the update is available, but I'm still at work so it'll be a few hours before I can do anything with it.

Same happened to me. What I did was as fast as I could, went to settings apps running found Google framework and moto framework cleared data and cache. It seems to work no more reboots. I still can't do a reset for some reason. Hope this helps.

There really was only a very short window of time to unlock the bootloader. Unless you got an M after the update that was still on the original firmware. Almost right after Rosenberg published, Verizon sent out their exploit patch... I really wish Verizon would stop doing this stuff. It makes no sense.

This will not likely help much unlocking the bootloader, but it is nice of them to do so promptly to allow the few devs who build ROMs to continue updating with the new kernel.

KitKat troubles
I purchased two used Razr M's for use on Straight Talk. After using Radiocomm, the phones worked great. My wife updated to KitKat and lost her service. I used Radiocomm on hers and have it running again. I upgraded mine also and now we both screwed. Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service error pops up all the time. I watched mine screen come on like a reboot three times yesterday. Before I went to bed, I noticed that I had no service. A reboot and service came back. I sent two emails to Motorola and have no reply as of yet. KitKat runs great, but now I just may have to buy two more phones. I don't see any help coming and would advise people to stay away from these phone unless using on Verizon. I didn't know all the trouble a locked bootloader and not being able to root would cause. I read that it had been implied that Android slow release stages were to cause people to buy new phones for updates. So I guess the KitKat issues I'm facing are the same. Encourage me to buy before my wife skins me alive!

There is a fix for the Modem Fast Dormancy bug but it requires root in order to edit the build.prop and disable it.
Without root, it is possible there maybe a way to disable those functions by editing the NVM, but it will require some considerable work to isolate the NV Items and parameters responsible.
After editing the build.prop the phone performs pretty well under KK for GSM/WCDMA service.
I will try and take a look at the NV dumps and see what I can find. No promises.
