My soak came WELL after when they said it would. By then I had already lost root in an FXZ, to prep for OTA. The update.zip will probably be posted by someone soon.

Would the update.zip not reside in your cache for you to grab now that you're rooted again?

It is always deleted, part of the update process. You must be new.

Yeah, unfortunately I flashed back to factory unrooted 4.2.2 per the instructions and now I can't poll the update.
Great.

It works if you follow the instructions with the camera update and what not. I am on 4.4 on my droid maxx with root and Hotspot !!

It appears as though I lost my mobile hotshot. I made sure the entitlement check reads a value of 0, and yet it's still checking the subscription status. Have you done anything extra to enable the hotspot? Thank you for any help.

No you cannot do that. You have to follow the direction before you do the upgrade.

Yes you have to follow the directionsbelow and keep in mind you have to have root as you see the su command is used in adb shell

Yeah it works. Just as Bluh5d says, read instructions, read instructions, read instructions, be on the camera update, take OTA update or sideload (yes it works), and then after the update finish the shell of SlapMyMoto. You just have to read everything, not be in a rush and do what the instructions say.
I wish i could understand why we cant get any development going with this phone. Yes i understand that his phone's stock ROM is pretty good as is, i just like the reason of android (choices). I have been flashing (the past 2 yrs) with the OG razr maxx, and it had a locked bootloader, but thanks to safestrap and a strong community we were able to flash all sorts of roms. I almost want to think we just lack the large community and developers who own this phone. Stupid Moto X and its inferior battery....haha anyway if anyone could explain it a little better for me, i am not so up to speed on c omputer lingo and what not. Thanks!!

Just so you guys know I ran all the steps and when I had to install 4.4 I had messed up the zip file I downloaded. It was in a folder so it didn't take it aborted I then had to extract it from the folder and put it back on my sd card I restarted my phone 2-3 times during this process and it still worked. The way I see it is after you run the commands everything is in place until you take the ota and run adb shell. So if you run into any problems don't panic just make sure your shell commands are right. Oh an added note I thought the phone would reboot after the shell commands and it didn't. So I ran them like 3 times in different ways each line seperate then all together. I figured after the 3rd time I had to reboot the phone manually and it still worked. So this exploit is pretty forgiving if you mess up a little.

Yep, discovered that myself. Strangely ironic it's us who had moded phones are running rooted, once again, on KitKat, and 'pure' phones are the ones being borked by the update!

Biggest hindrance is the new file system of the Maxx. And have you seen the size of the stock ROM? Whole lotta extra crap on it, lots of 'flourish', to. We have safestrap, root, and WP off. Just a matter if time, but the update is extending that due to bricking stock phones.

It's got the best of both worlds! Stock AT&T ROM for good sound quality, but it's also rooted!
But does rooting the stock rom enable hsupa upload speeds? If not, we need s combo rom with a desire and am inspire, sound issue fixed, hsupa enabled.
Is this perma-root? If so how did you do it or can you provide a cwm zip file?

If he simply roots the stock AT&T ROM, it still will not have the Settings Checkbox for allowing non-market apps to be installed, thus he must still use a sideloading app or use "adb install".
That's what I figured.

This.
The problem is, the way I rooted, ro.secure is still set to 1 (adb sees the phone as a non-rooted phone) which means I can't use "adb remount".
If I could use adb remount, it's a really simple script to update the settings.db file to allow for sideloading

Couldnt you use the method described here to do the "temproot" in order to get the adb root prompt and change it that way?
I also meant to ask if this has wifi tether enabled. I'm assuming it doesn't.

Delete Superuser.apk and the su binary... done. If it had busybox then that too.

I can't seem to get my phone to restore back to factory state.
I've been running my Maxx HD rooted since the day I got it a couple of weeks ago and wanted to try out the JB leak. I ran the utility and started my phone in AP Fastboot mode. I plugged it in and the utility recognized and and started doing all the loads, everything seemed to go ok with no failure messages and continued as expected after pressing the any key.
However, when it all seemed to be complete, I restarted the phone and it never actually updated itself. It always comes back to where I was. I've tried both from rooted state and also from temporary unroot state (thanks to OTA rootkeeper)
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be preventing a restore?

Absolute failure by Verizon. Verizon's list of features has typos and they don't have a damn clue what Google Now is! C'mon man!
'Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software updrade.' Really?
And why is the Google Now screenshot labled as Google Plus?
Furthermore, why do all the screenshots contain on screen soft keys? WTF Verizon!?
Obviously, Verizon has no clue about software and the Android OS. Makes me wonder why the updates take so long!

Broken help was actually a bug in my previous prep method for the leaks. I have fixed that on the last leak as of 12/10. Refer to the new K3 No-Wipe Fixed image in my thread.
Wonder if this would fix the home button going back to home screen when screen itself is off. That or if its already been fixed by a dev I'll take it.
IF, IF , IF this really happens..... I am rooted and unlocked, thats it. Will I still be able to get the OTA update? If no, what do I need to do to get the OTA when it is rolled out?

It will only show you OTA if you have the official build (last OTA version was VRALHE). If you flashed any of my earlier leaks you won't get the OTA and will have to flash VRBLK3 manually from my thread. Otherwise you will get the OTA and it will just remove root and relock your bootloader.
The ironic thing is that in order to reroot and unlock your bootloader after the OTA you have to reflash VRBLK3 manually from my guide anyways so if you're looking to keep root, custom recovery, or unlocked bootloader after the OTA, just don't bother with the OTA and follow the guide from my thread to get on the OTA early.

actually i think it will only show the ota if you have the stock recovery. if you flashed CWR or TWR then you will have to wait until one of the devs here root it for us. or odin back to stock and upgrade from there.
So those of us who have been on the K3 leak have been on the OTA? Or is there a chance they'll make additional changes to the OTA...?

There will b no changes they have decided after testing. . I hope... they don't get all jumpy and add things at the last minute that would b 6 months from now if they wanted anything changed.. unless it was critical.

Droid Maxx root and bootloader unlocked?

So I know this Phone is still new, but is there any progress on Root with latest firmeware or Unlocking Bootloader??
If there is where are the threads? I've searched and didnt find much. Im a little worried that with the Samsung S4 and htc one around this phone wont get any love.
Unfortunately we just have to be patient, there is no ETA on root or unlocked bootloader. But from what I read Motorolla is making very hard to unlock there phones. Unless its a dev phone, but I would just be happy with root.

Root is definitely a necessity. Realistically, I don't see the point of a custom ROM since, IMO, the whole point of buying one of these things is for all of the out of the box customizations. It would suck to lose them for some subpar custom ROM experience.

So I know this Phone is still new, but is there any progress on Root with latest firmeware or Unlocking Bootloader??
If there is where are the threads? I've searched and didnt find much. Im a little worried that with the Samsung S4 and htc one around this phone wont get any love.

AFAIK, if you bought this phone and hoped for root. You have been sadly mistaken. I don't forsee root in your immediate future. If you can't stand the thought of not having root then you should return the device.

take updates, those are not going to make a difference.
Yeah, I'm just waiting for root. I got time.

Honestly I think this thing is flawless. The only reason I would look to root it is to remove the bloatware and free up more of my storage. First time Ive ever said this, but the they got stock right this time.

Unfortunately we just have to be patient, there is no ETA on root or unlocked bootloader. But from what I read Motorolla is making very hard to unlock there phones. Unless its a dev phone, but I would just be happy with root.

No you have to get the Moto x.
I'd be happy with root just to back up the phone and remove bloatware. Let's face it, over six and a half gig for an operating system is a computer, not a cell phone!

Purchase from Motorola
If I purchase the Droid Maxx full retail, off contract from Motorola, is the phone unlocked, i.e. can be rooted and/or unlocked boot loader?

No unless a root exploit or unlock boot loader exploit comes out.

One other possibility is a development edition. As far as I know, they haven't been announced, but the possibility exists in the future.
Root available

I know this thread is sort of old and if anyone took the OTA update to 4.4 prior to root you have been screwed on rooting after. Check out this thread there is a way. I did it, it took 3 days total and some frustration with google translate but it worked.

Absolutely no way to root or downgrade 183.46.15.xt926 ?

Hey XDA,
I would really love to flash lolipop custom rom on my phone but it seems that root or downgrading is impossible atm.. The only viable option i see atm is if i do a factory reset but even then im still not sure if it will downgrade...
Any hope here XDA?
Factory reset won't downgrade. If your boot loader is locked, you can't downgrade.

What are you wondering? If you're on the latest FW, you can't do anything.

Mate, I'm sorry, but your question has already been answered. Thing is, the same question has been answered more than enough times, so we've become somewhat annoyed by any further repetition... Nothing personal. Although you could've tried searching first
