How can I disable this? I'm rooted so I can't apply the update, and I don't feel like wiping and updating to a current rom.
Copy the 2.3.7 build.prop with ur current one
Flash the 2.3.7 rooted update. You won't have to wipe data so you won't lose anything. Just wipe cache and dalvic cache.

You can apply the update if you're rooted and haven't made modifications to the things in /system that it modifies and install a stock recovery (at least temporarily). You'll just need to run a permissions fix or reflash busybox and superuser afterward.
Hi there, my phone has been acting wonky the past week or so. I'd like to just factory reset (under settings or safestrap) not sure which one is better.
I am rooted running stock with some apps frozen.
What's the best way to reset without loosing root and safestrap?
Thanks!!
do I have to unfreeze everything first?
I tried searching (as I know search is my friend but I was getting contradictory information.
Thanks for your help!
You will not lose root from a factory data reset. All an FDR does is wipe caches, davlik, and system cache. It does not replace files or software, like it would if someone were to odin a firmware tar.

Thanks for getting back to me! So can I just reset? Or should unfreeze my apps first?
So it would just have the stock apps that come with the phone on it after a reset?
Thanks!
It's been so long since I've had to do this lol

you are totally wrong lol. a fdr does wipe the system so he would need to have a rom.zip stored on his internal storage/ext sdcard... if he uses SS to do a factory reset he will not boot until he flashes a rom.
now if he does an advanced wipe and selects only the caches thats a different story

yikes! So I won't use SS to wipe. If I just factory reset under settings....should I unfreeze all my apps first? When I boot up again the phone will have all the stock apps, and nothing more correct?
Thanks guys!

worst that will happen u will have to odin a stock tar and reroot.. i would back up all your pictures n everything onto a ext sdcard or pc.. essentially, a fdr from settings or the stock android recovery will make it like new again if you havent flashed a custom rom but i never use it.. i would always just odin a stock tar or use ss fdr and flash a stock rooted rom.zip through ss

Just to clear this up a factory data reset from the settings menu and safestrap do the same thing. It resets the settings, removes any user installed apps as it wipes data folder where your user installed apps are stored. It will be the same ROM you flashed minus any user apps, root and safestrap will remain. If you enter safestrap and do a advanced wipe with system checked and try to boot without flashing a ROM you will have to Odin back to stock to boot back up because the system will be gone. Lastly if you enter the stock recovery and reset from there it will do the same thing as SS and the settings menu. The only way to return to stock is Odin. Hope this clears up any confusion.

what he said lol. i was just going off my past experience.. wiping via stock recovery caused me to have to odin back to stock.. it bootlooped and i didnt have ss recovery any longer.. ss default fdr has system wipe on as default so if you use tge default wipe you need to have another rom available to flash in ss or you will need to odin. Or of course do advanced wipe and unselect the wipe system portion.
theoretically, stock fdr should only wipe as misterxtc stated.. i suggest back up your stuff and try it and let us know how it goes lol

Okay so I did exactly what you said. I wiped the phone from inside settings. When I booted it back up it was back to stock, because I'm not running a ROM. I did notice that when I signed into Google some of my apps started automatically redownloading. Actually almost all of them did. I am still rooted, & I do still have safestrap on my phone.
My question at this point is, I no longer have the safestrap app or the towel root app in my app drawer, but should I redownload them just so that they are in my app drawer? Will that affect the phone at all?
Thanks again

No you don't need them anymore. SS is where it needs to be regardless if it's in your app drawer or not. As long as you see it on boot up your good. Towelroot can be uninstalled after the root process is done, it's a one shot deal unless you Odin back to stock.

No problem, I started about one year ago. I learned very early that a good backup and Odin are your best friends. lol It's pretty hard to mess up the phone beyond Odin or a backup, I've done some pretty risky things.

Restored on my xt1053 over the top of the previous build and kept my data intact. Thanks
Did this fix the speakerphone bug?
Stock recovery
Original recovery from 222.12.15 included? I've updated to 222.12.15 from 222.12.7, but the recovery didn't changed, again :/

It's a TWRP backup so no, it isn't included.
How do I root after restoring the backup? I didn't get the option to install SuperSU after the restore.
Nope

I installed and the speakerphone bug is still present. Tried clearing app data for Phone and Dialler apps to no avail.
Side note:
Tried restoring from stock firmware in TWRP. Did not work twice. Got stuck on the Moto Blue Water logo. Third time, it worked inexplicably!
Any infos on what is changed?
Improval of battery life would be most interesting to me.

There is already a su file in the backup but that didn't work for me too. You have to delete the su file at /system/xbin/ manually via twrp file manager. If you reboot twrp will ask you to root again.

I found an alternate solution. I flashed the SuperSU zip, and it rooted the phone with no hassle. [emoji2]
I tried to restore it on my xt1052, it keeps saying that No partitions selected for restore. What should I do?
In your TWRP backup directory, there should be a folder with the date (2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15), make sure the image files are in this directory.
When I extracted the rar, it was 2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15\2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15\<image files>
it should be 2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15\<image files>
Can I install this from 4.4.4?
Test it. The proximity sensor also not work for active display.
So I back to 4.4.4 again.
Unzip the file https://mega.nz/#!GIgwXKIL!fnuIUY7ETilk-758lv8qguUe3QxC7UwJ4rkRmXk0kMs and put the folder to the TWRP backup then restore.This is the clean sistem,no rooted!For root use and flash this zip : SuperSU-v2.52 http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105

Using this method, I get an RPC error once Google Play updates to 6.0.2 that prevents me from downloading any more apps at all. It's quite annoying. Even the 'fix' for it (uninstalling updates, clearing cache, rebooting to recovery & clearing dalvik/cache from there) doesn't fix it permanently
For RPC error the fix is easy!
Go to settings >application > Play Store >storage>Clear Data & Clear Cache.
Go to accounts >Google >Remove account.
Reboot device.
Again Settings>Account >Google >Log In

Anyway, I managed to fix it (and very nearly bricked my phone in the process). I originally restored System only, in an attempt to keep my existing data. It didn't work (kept getting an Unknown Play Services error). Then I restored Data in a separate session, and I kept getting the RPC error which would not go away once Play Store updated to 6.0.2 or whatever.
I then did some things which nearly bricked my phone, and just restored the whole archive in one session, which seems to have fixed the issue. Touch wood.

No such luck. This is quite annoying, since you can't just go ahead and downgrade back to 5.1 once you've done this

No it's not. It's a recovery image that somebody (I assume the OP) made of their own install.

UK XT1092, flashed this by just
Code:
fastboot boot twrp
and phone signal. Probably caused by me having the US XT1095 modem installed so I flash an old UK modem and after rebooting I have 4G signal.
Booted twrp again and flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip and got stuck on bootloader.
Booted twrp again and flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip and root-boot-6.0-xt1092.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
Seems to be working.
So, I tried installing the Note 8 port and now I can't seem to wipe the data partition. I have used every available version of TWRP with the same results. it won't mount the data partition.
from inside android doing a factory reset just restarts and nothing has been wiped.
I also lost root during this process and cant seem to get it back. I have a 935F/DS but the build number says N950F
