I have a Moto X Developer Edition rooted on Verizon with TWRP 2.6.3.1 and stock Android 4.4 on it. I have been trying to upgrade to 4.4.2 without doing the OTA, and without having to reflash TWRP.
So far, I have been unsuccessful.
I have tried Blur_Version.140.45.5.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US.zip (approximate file size 150MB) from multiple sources as all the posts I read keep saying that is what works. I have also tried a ~650MB version I found somewhere. In addition, I tried the upgrade located here: sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 which is called VZW_XT1060_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25.2_CFC_1FF.xml.zip (It's the 4.4.2 upgrade listed under Verizon US).
All of these fail. In TWRP, about 2-3 steps after it verified md5, it simply says "Failed" with no explanation as to why.
Here is my question:
How can I upgrade to 4.4.2 without a data wipe, and without having to reflash TWRP?
I have no interest in going to a ROM, I want to stay stock, and if I must, I will reflash the recovery if I have to, but I *really* don't want to.
Flash stock recovery, take the OTA, flash TWRP again.
It's so simple, so painless, so quick and it will not wipe your data.

I was hoping to avoid that (Yep, I really am that lazy...) but that's what I was going to do tonight if I couldn't get my hands on a .zip to flash.
Ironically, I bought the Dev Edition specifically so things like this would be easy.
It is easy.....just need to do it.
I support my sister, her husband and my wife (as well as my own) who all have Moto X's. 2 seconds to flash recovery, however long it takes for the OTA to install and reboot and then 2 seconds to flash TWRP again. Heck...I'd just leave the stock recovery in place since it's not needed if you don't plan on flashing any ROMs. The OTA doesn't even remove root.

Oh, that last bit is good to know! Well, I think even if it did remove root, getting it back is easy on the DE.
I think you're right though, I probably won't install TWRP again, I specifically got the Moto X because I was tired of messing around with stuff when I all I want is a rooted, stock Android experience.
So, after several hours of messing with this, and thinking the stock recovery had gotten messed up because the instructions I had for getting in to it were wrong, I finally got the OTA installing...
and it fails.
I don't know why, I haven't seen the error (I'm not looking at the phone when it fails).
So... Awesome.

Are there files out so you can just flash 4.4.2 with mfastboot? Would be easiest.

I assume so, but I haven't found any instructions specifically saying how to do that, except for the ones that tell you how to return to stock without using RSD Lite.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about how all this stuff works to be able to figure out which bits and pieces to put together to get upgraded without wiping my data.
What really pisses me off is that I specifically bought this phone so I wouldn't have issues like this, and here I am...
BTW: The only thing the error says is "Error". That's it, nothing else.

This guide has a return to stock section. It will tell you how to flash the stock firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
Unfortunately the moto x is not a simple phone for tinkering with, like say a nexus, even the dev edition.
It can be easier once you do fully understand everything. Just gotta know what applies to you...meaning mostly the locked versus unlocked methods for everything.
After owning an s2, a moto x and now an n5 (n7 too...but I don't tinker with it really....its a family device) I've come to the mind set that for flashers and rooters.....nothing at all beats owning a nexus. Every other device has some limitations that a nexus won't have.

Yeah, that's the page I was talking about when I said I found the full instructions...
I specifically bought this phone because I didn't want to mess around with it like this, I just wanted to root it so I could use Titantium Backup and be done with it... and now I'm stuck at a halfway point.... Again...
I'll probably end up just doing the full wipe and manually flash to 4.4.2 (RSD Lite doesn't see my device... yay), since I have gone from my mute button not working (with 4.2.2), to a really bad echo for whomever I'm talking to when it's on speakerphone (Even when speakerphone is muted... THAT made for a fun conference call...).

Flashing stock and rooting on an unlocked Moto x is basically the same as a nexus. It really is simple, once you are familiar with fastboot.
I guess there are toolkits that automate everything....like Samsung's Odin, and there's a few for nexus....but it really doesn't help anyone learn. And that's kinda what this hobby is all about.
But, I am sorry you're having trouble. Not sure what else to add. The guides are there, and they work. Usually. I can't think of anything to add to whats already been said.
Hope it works out for you!

I don't think I'm articulating my issue properly. I understand how to do everything in the guides you mentioned, they're a piece of cake. That doesn't solve my problem.
My problem is that I want to get to 4.4.2 WITHOUT wiping my data, but can't do the update via OTA or flashing in recovery. RSD Lite doesn't work either.
The ONLY option I have available to me is to manually push the update with fastboot, which I can definitely do with the instructions provided... But those instructions require me to wipe my data.
I know it's possible to apply the update with fastboot without requiring me to wipe my data, but I don't know enough about the inner workings to know which steps to skip, and which need to be modified, in order to make that happen.

It says right at the bottom of the return to stock section in the guide I linked too.....you can skip
Fastboot erase user data
fastboot erase cache
Though if you have any problems after, you might have to do it again and do erase those, before spending time trying to figure out what's wrong.

Sorry about that, when I looked through that article, I skimmed through and saw that the "Return to Stock" section was (almost) identical to the other instructions I was reading...But I missed that last paragraph when I looked at the link you provided, the directions I was using referenced that article but did not include that last bit...

And, you may very well have issues doing that way. But its worth a shot first. If you do have issues, then you can erase those and repeat the process.
if using fastboot/mfastboot, I would still erase cache, as it doesn't touch your data/apps/config.
Another tip, use this mfastboot -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/Mfastboot-4.4.zip
or you can use RSDlite to flash the SBF, but there is a corresponding line for "erase data"

Alrighty, well I was able to successfully flash to 4.4.2 using the Fastboot instructions. Flashed TWRP afterwards and got root right back. Now that I know, this won't be a trial in the future (fingers crossed!)
Thanks for your help and patience
So I recently bought a moto x developer edition off of craigslist and I was updating my phone to kitkat, when I tried to install it took me to the Team Win Recovery Project page. I did not realize someone had already tried to root the phone. Anyway, I accidentally wiped the system rather than factory resetting the phone and now my phone is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked page". Just wondering If there is a way to go back to the stock OS. I should mention that know the bare minimum when it comes to this so any help is really appreciated. I really only bought the phone out of necessity!
Use this guide, look for returning to stock section. You can only flash the same or higher Android version that was on it before. Downgrading can end up in a brick.

Hopefully this is my last question! I seem to finally have everything downloaded and in the right folder. I even reinstalled the drivers. I'm currently on the cmd prompt and input the first line.
and received a "<bootloader> Variable not supported" message, sending 'partition' okay but writing 'partition' failed <remote failure> I currently have the device on the "AP Fastboot Flashmode" (S) screen.
Not really sure whats wrong at this point
Does "fastboot devices" return your serial number?
If all you wiped was system, perhaps try just flashing the system.img with mfastboot.
You definitely have the same firmware you were on? Or was it a custom ROM?
Thing is, we have no idea what was previously done to the phone.
You may be better served using rsdlite for a fresh start.

Is that the getvar? Do not flash it.
You are better off just editing it out of the XML & use RSD-Lite

Yes it does return a serial number. T0620060PD
I don't think it was custom I think it was just 4.2 and when I tried to do a system update to 4.4, that's when I wiped the system.
So I could flash rsdlite instead of 4.4? Is there a link for that?

Ive got it! Thank you so much for all the help it was much appreciated! I don't feel like quite the noob now seeing as the phone still lives, but I definitely won't be trying that again any time soon! haha.
Oh, and for reference it seemed that all I needed to do was 4.4.4 rather than just 4.4.

Canadian 5.0 install troubleshooting!
Hello fellow Canucks!
If you're having problems with following NexusChrist's Canadian install guide I have a few pointers. I was also getting the 'downgrade' error. To fix this (and a few other issues) I ended up using mfastboot (available HERE)
After getting msfastboot installed I then went and followed the steps to flash the initial USA firmware but instead used the provided Canadian firmware. Unless you purchased your Moto G2 and DIDN'T do the initial update (small 'bug fixes' for 4.4.4) you probably have to do this to avoid the upgrade problem?
If you guys have any questions please ask! I am by no means a pro but also not a nub. I find that I learn best when having to figure them out!
Thank you! It worked great for me, but I was initially stuck in system.img_sparsechunk part
The US version of 4.4 zip in the link has sparsechunk.0 to sparsechunk.3, therefore I had to start with "fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0" first instead of sparseschunk.1

Ignore the 'error'. Yes, your phone will display a notice about downgrade but as long as mfastboot says "OK", it's OK. As long as the phone doesn't spit out a different error, you should be good to go.
I know at first I thought that the downgrade message was it stopping but noticed that mfastboot was still saying "OK", so I kept going and it all worked out!
Give that a try. Remember, if you've already installed the OTA released in Canada for 4.4.4 (at the same time as 5.0 started roll out in USA) then you have to flash the older Canadian ROM that is included in this guide FIRST! Then you can flash to the USA 4.4.4, THEN you can flash the USA 5.0. Hope I've helped some, happy flashing!

I think there are two different X1064. First one comes with WIND mobile which is DualSim and another one from Staples which is single sim.
This Rom should be for Wind. I have Single sim x1064 and it doesn't take signal from my provider(Bell). Frequency problem and different stock roms.

awesome... one more thing..
So, once OTA hits Canada, do i just flash the original 4.4 room with the same commands and then get back to OTA? Would rather not have to manually flash all updates once available, just was chomping at the bit for lollipop. Can anyone post how to reverse to stock?
In terms of experience: was incredible for a week. Started getting severe slowdowns and memory issues, lag. Restored to factory (meaning 5 with Canadian modem) and works great again. Will report if starts lagging again after a week. Love lollipop. Wind Mobile second gen motto g in Canada
worked for me
So, a little touch and go, but was ultimately successful. Ran for a week before ram and redraw issues made me flash again. After a second week, the bugs were enough that I restored to stock. Looking forward to an official ota, hopefully straight onto 5.02, with bug fixes, but thanks so much for this guide. Got a taste of lollipop, am even more excited, and I've learned tons about how my phone actually works. Way more comfortable flashing and playing with ROMs. Great guide, thank you. BTW, anyone know when moto g is getting the damn ota already? Lol

attempted the 5.0 walk through. seriously confused, head is spinning and im tierd. managed to go back to 4.4.4 with no service possibly running american firmware. will anyone please tell me how to go back to 4.4.4 for WIND cant find it anywhere, only telus or US xt1034
Thanks!
This worked for me too! I did it all from Mac OS X but it was easy enough to see how to do it there. I had to flash the modem to get calls and texts working. Thanks for the great tutorial!

@Gus.Ottawa does it take a while to load up when you first flash this? Just curious.... Also, you don't happen to have those modem files kicking around anywhere do you?

Yes, it takes something like ten minutes after you see the blue M logo (I never timed it), also takes a long time after a factory reset.
I'm not 100% sure if you need to flash NON-HLOS.bin from the RETCA firmware, but the file is too big to attach on here.
If you have no signal, first try flashing fsg.mbn from RETCA:
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
If still no signal, then flash the two files:
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
If you have the bandwidth, I highly recommend you download and keep the two RETCA firmwares, so you can extract the modem files, or in case you ever wanted to downgarde back to KitKat:

Always use mfastboot.
I am trying to resurrect a Sprint XT1056 (2013) that won't boot anymore. I can still get into recovery and use ADB to sideload files. The last version of the OS (official) was 4.2.2 (pre-camera I believe). All the roms I find say they won't work because it ran into the "wrong" version (even 4.22, 4.4, etc). The bootloader is locked.
I tried to use the Moto Toolkit (1.4.4), but the links for the auto-downloading within the app are broken.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have rooted and flashed HTC and Samsung phones in the past, but this phone seems to have a lot of "caveats" to say the least.
Thanks!

Ok, but I still don't have proper Sprint images. Some of the tutorials tells me to edit an .xml file and it doesn't exist. Others mention a SBF file and I don't see that either. I have nothing to use with mfastboot. Also, I am trying to figure out the exact build on this phone and what I need to get. According to most of the data on xda, it seems like I should dump the exact same version first and then OTA from there (trying to put it back to stock).
Can retail users use the moto X dev images? Any other sites that actually have Sprint images? Seems like there's much less out there for Sprint....

I should put the same on? or try and push the next one: KXA20.16-1.32
Again, I can't seem to find these specific Sprint roms.... ugh

Late last night I found an image. Used mfastboot and now the device lives again.
Hey everybody,
I was on CM14.1, no issues, but decided to flash back to 6 and made the stupid mistake of trying to go straight with the standard motorola image. Now I am able to load the bootloader mode but cant do much after that. None of the partitions work, nor I can get data from bootloader info (tried retreieving flashing info to no avail). I am trying to find something I can use. Anyone has a suggestion?
Would you mind detailing which steps you took to flash? I think I know what your problem is, but I want to be sure first.

Sure!
- Got unlocked bootloader and installed cm14.1
- Decided to revert back to stock so downloaded 6.0 system image.
- instead of deleting the got.bin line from flashfile.xml I went to rsd and tried flashing it. It errored out and this took me where I am.
There is a flashable stock rom zip, but assuming you want to just use the official image that you already have you'll need to flash with fastboot. I saw that you posted on the thread 'return to stock etc'. Follow those fastboot steps, but be aware that there is a major omission: the instructions only go to system.img_sparsechunk.8, but there are 9 of those files and the phone will not boot if you only flash 8. As you go through fastboot flashing I think there will be a couple files that will give errors. Do an internet search on the error output line, but if I remember correctly the files that won't flash are no big deal and didn't affect my phone when I went ahead and ignored the errors.
I did man... The problem is... Something trully god messed up here. I am now getting hard stops related to aboot failures. I saw something similar on the xt1033 forums but we miss those same files.
