I've been out of the development loop for a pretty long time (1.5 years) and am looking to update my phone. Long story short I have the Razr HD (926) rooted running 4.4.2. I get prompted for a system update (183.46.15.en.US) but it fails every time (likely because I'm rooted). It's been like this for a while and I'm sick of getting notified of the update every day.
I'd like to update to the latest but I'm not sure what that is. I'm familiar with RSD lite so I guess I am just looking for the latest working version I can update to. I've searched around the forums and saw threads for KitKat, but I've been out of the loop for so long I don't even know if it has been officially released yet or if there is even an official/unofficial build for the Razr HD.
Sorry for all the noob questions, all these threads are a lot to take in when I've been away for so long whenI don't know all the lingo and what version I should get.

As you say, your device fails the OTA because it's rooted. I would strongly suggest that you unlock your device's bootloader (its warranty is probably approaching EOL anyway if it hasn't already). To do that, the best possible tutorial would be here, imho. If for some reason the .15 firmware were to get installed on your device (again unlikely, since it's rooted), you would not be able to unlock its bootloader, because there is no known method to accomplish that atm. So, my advice would be to unlock your BL with the towelroot method, flash the most recent .15 FXZ and enjoy.

Awesome, thanks for your help. Is there a more recent version I should flash or is .15 the latest?

.15 is the latest and last update from Moto for this device.
I'm asking for my girlfriend. I have the T-Mobile variant with a custom recovery and I know not to take an OTA because custom recoveries and OTAs don't mix. She, however, has an AT&T variant and she just told me she was prompted to update to Lollipop. She rooted long ago with whatever root for AT&T app was popular at the time.
Doesn't taking an OTA just make you lose root? Nothing else to worry about?
I would not recommend due to the chance it could boot loop. I would wait for a OTA zip and flash through TWRP.
If she is rooted it will break root, If she has a custom recovery (twrp) than it will cause a boot loop.
advice: if she wants lollipop she's gonna have to follow these steps.

Going to pass the link on to her now.
There is no custom recovery. She used Stump Root originally to get her phone route, if that makes any difference.

Is there an ota zip available for the D850. I froze software updates in titanium backup so I won't loose root.

Yep.. I went through the whole process of going completely back to stock and then rooted before updating to Lollipop hoping it would stay. It didn't and Stump Root says it's already rooted.
Thanks for this cool tool and method. The LGFlashtool gets up the 'Change to download mode' step adn then fails, with a '[16:10:26] can't change to download mode 00000064' error in the box. Any help would be appreciated. In the meantime I'll try another usb port. Also, when I first ran the Flashtool I had to select from three choices: the default checked off one had the word Korea in it, the second had Brazil and the third had the word Global. I left in on Korea--you think I should have gone with global?
Thanks again, Xamadiex.

I read somewhere the LG Flashtool had to be modified at installation to avoid what you are going through.
You're right, it's just a matter of overwriting the megalock.dll file after you install the tool. It was a step I didn't miss. But good news for me, I used another pc and when I installed the flashtool it again gave me the three choices (not sure, but the title bar of the window was something like 'DMB').
This time I chose the 'global' selection and ran the tool as before and it completed for me. I'm currently DL'ing the lollipop update right now. Thanks for the quick reply, netomel.

I just received my G3 for AT&T yesterday. It had 4.4.2 firmware on it. I rooted and installed titanium backup and froze all of the AT&T bloatware. Got notification last night that I had a system update available so I went ahead and let it update thinking it would be 4.4.4 but I was wrong. End result, I wound up with a perfectly functional Lollipop with all bloatware removed, but did lose root in the process. I can live with that until someone figures root for lollipop out I think.

So it installed on your rooted G3? It wouldn't on mine - kept saying rooted device detected or something like that and then refuse to update. That's just fine because i have to have root so I was planning to wait anyway...

Yes, it installed with no problems at all. And I must say that I am loving it. So glad that I froze all of those at&t apps before I lost root. I am looking forward to root for lollipop so that I can freeze a few more. I must say that this is the best stock android rom that I have ever had the pleasure of using. I will probably stick with it for quite some time because of the speed and excellent battery life.

Call Bull**** all you want, I don't lie. To be honest, I can't even remember what method I used to root when on KitKat. Then I used TiBu to freeze a bunch of apps that I didn't want or need. Shortly thereafter the update hit me so I went ahead and let it do its thing. As stated, I did lose root afterwards but the apps I had frozen with TiBu remained frozen and everything still worked as it should. I waited patiently for a few weeks until the one click root script became available and used it to root lollipop, then installed TWRP and flashed Cloudy G3 stock ROM which is where I am happily at at this moment.
It could possibly have successfully updated due to the fact that I had not installed a custom recovery, that's the only thing I can think of that would have allowed it to happen on mine, yet not on others that were rooted.
EDIT: After reading back through this thread it jogged my memory. I used the Stump Root method to root while on KitKat.
You'd be the first person reported to be able to do this.
It would be a boon to the AT&T G3 community if you could remember the precise details of how you pulled this off as it would save loads of time and hassle for everyone else who has to restore to KK (which means a full wipe), then take the OTA to L, then root there.
Thanks in advance.
*edit
I think you're L is version 20f, not the latest 21l, based on the date of your posts above.
Further, I'd suppose that what may have happened to you, is that the deivce had already downloaded the L update (from 10f to 20f) before you pulled off the root on KitKat. Then you simply acknowledged the install, which perhaps KK would allow to continue through.
Reports are the L will not allow this. So, going forward, someone rooted on L would not be allowed to complete the install even if the package is already downloaded on the device.
Still, it is, interesting.
I'm having all sorts of troubles trying to find any way to unlock my phone. I know with 4.4, I could TempRoot my phone using Sunshine and then, I could S-Off from there, but now you can't even TempRoot on 5.0. If anybody knows of a way or even knows of a downgrade, that would be awesome.
You need to find one of the guys with a java card. There's a thread about java card holders in the m9 forum. Go check it out and see if there's someone close enough to go visit or mail you phone to.
You don't need a java card

It's a PIA to make root stick for Sunshine with King Root but it works. Search the Sunshine thread, people posted what worked for them.
I, too, can confirm Kingroot worked for me on 5.0.1. It is a pain. Just be persistent until it finally works.
I believe BAttitude7689 was successful with rooting his phone (read in another thread)
So I downgraded to whatever that link had. Kingroot ran one time, unsuccessfully, and now gets stuck at "verify root status." I've tried rebooting, reinstalling the app, everything.
Verify root status.... over and over and over.
Uninstall, reinstall kingroot and try again. I literally had to repeat the process nearly a day and a half to finally get it to the point where Sunshine would complete (and got TWRP to install).
I was lucky that my second M8 was a leftover in-store (not a replacement from service center) came with KitKat and I immediately ran Sunshine. But on a friend's replacement from service, it came with 5.0.1 and I had to do the dance. Dottat was thoughtful enough to give us the stagefright downgrader that enables Kingroot to run at all, but it's not a perfect science.
You also have the option to ship the phone to the sunshine devs & they will happily soff your phone. They have a way with 5.0.1, but its not stable for release
Took me about 3 hours last night with a bit of trial and error since every time my phone rebooted I had to Kingroot all over again but eventually for some reason it wound up working. I didn't RUU or flash TWRP until after Sunshine confirmed that I was s-off. Also, try different versions of Kingroot, I played with a few different ones and different SU apks as well.

Yup same here. It took me a like 6 or 8 tries. I also used Sunshine for the next level s-0ff! I was able to install the custom teamwin recovery with flashify too. Custom roms here I go.
Can confirm it works, I rooted 5.0.1 this way as well, and just to chime in with everyone else, it is a pain in the ass, but plenty worth it.
Did anyone else have the problem where the phone rebooted after a successful root? I need to use sunshine to s-off but phone keeps rebooting after a random amount of time. Somewhere between 5 seconds to a minute

Sorry I should've read the whole conversation before posting
A new version of sunshine was just released about one or two hours ago. Here is the newest entry in the changelog: Version 3.2.1
Merged Droid Turbo Support into main release
Added new root for Droid Turbo (no more mofo/kingroot needed)
Added new root for Some HTC (like m8, no more htcdev/kingroot needed)
Removed 626s support for now*
Sunshine now works without kingroot
I had been checking the threads every couple weeks for the last few months waiting for Sunshine to get updated to work with Lollipop. As soon as I saw that an update was available and that someone had used it successfully I ran it and it worked great. It is nice to have a rooted phone again. :good:
Since Lollipop was finally released for Verizon Moto G prepaid. I am wondering if it is now more possible to root and unlock the bootloader without paying anything. Lots of people got the phone black Friday last year and wants to root it since it was a cheap phone to get. So lots of people are hoping for a new method for it. Please reply if there is any new info, methods, or anything. Thx
I'm holding off on upgrading in case I get a way to get root on 444, but the nag screen for updating is getting on my nerves so bad I may take it just to make it stop...
I have some very specific reasons for wanting to keep this phone, if only I could get root, then sunshine it, then get a custom 5.1 rom... Ah the dream
I updated my phone to 5.1 on Tuesday (when it came out) and I was wondering the same thing too. I hope someone can find a way to do it

Did you try temp root with Kingoroot? Supposedly it works on 4.4.4 and apparently not on 5.1... once you have temp root then onto Sunshine and once your bootloader is unlocked you can even take the 5.1 OTA or for that matter any ROM

Kingroot has varying degree's of success for me, but the one constant for me is that my temp root has never once lasted long enough for sunshine's purposes. The tests simply take too long, and my root is gone before it reaches a conclusive point.
About all its good for in my case is to backup some files, or tweak a few other quick settings that can be done in less then a minute

I hear you... so if there is currently no root for 4.4.4 and we don't know of anyone working on a root I am not sure what there is to wait for...
Because if I do upgrade, I can't downgrade. And knowing my luck as soon as I get 5.1 a 444 root will come out. Another issue is I'm worried about storage consumption when it moves from dalvik to art runtime. It's my experience that using 5.1s ART system will increase all file sizes across the board, I'm already strapped for space.

Don't make the rookie mistake !!! It's really trivial to block the nagging upgrade screens. You'll have to use adb from your PC and run something like Debloater ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 ). Then find a program named com.motorola.ccc.ota on XT1028, and block it.
I am still hoping that one day we'll get full RW root with 4.4.4 (for free ).
Good point, didn't think to try this. Also I'm holding out hope for that chrome for Android exploit that was revealed in Tokyo last week at PacSec. When last I checked no details yet, but no patch by Google yet either.

I am still waiting to see if there is a way to unlock/root Verizon Moto G Lollipop (XT1028). Any luck?
tired of this phone
I'm sorry to say it but I think that it's a lost cause and its a shame its a great phone and it was a learning experience for me. I'll never buy a prepaid phone from Verizon again I'm moving on to the newest moto g. From what I've been hearing MOTOs are going to be phased out eventually by lenovo so I think it's best to upgrade before its too late. Its just my opinion but I think it's a foolish move on their part cause the moto series is one of the best out there for the price I've had Samsung, HTC,and a few other brands that aren't even worth mentioning (zte/kyocera/BlackBerry/I phone) and Motorola is the best value by far the only downside is the locked bootloaders it's a shame no one is working on the xt 1028 it was a great little phone
Kingroot 4.8 works. But only temporary root. and sometimes later everything crashes
System cant be writable, still
I still have my xt1028 and keep hoping people will report root. I've intentionally avoided upgrading it to 5.1 hoping I can get root 1 way or the other
My phone I bought to replace this one (VS880, LG G Vista for Verizon) was able to be rooted, its a crying shame this one still cant be rooted.
I was about to root it after installing busy box (no root) and then running the king-root app a few times after that i was able to root it but only a temp root, however having the temp root i was about to uninstall some of the unnecessary system apps but i would like to have a full root on this phone and a custom ROM i know it is possible because i have been searching the internet for years looking for a way to root it and i have found custom roms and recoverys for it so its possible to root we just need to find how because how and why would custom roms and recoverys be made for this phone if you can't flash then so there has to be something out there that can help.
I'm so sad of hearing this, I just got this phone ( xt1028 ) as a gift two days ago and I was quick to figured out it needs to be rooted because it don't have SD slot so all the verizon crapp can be removed, this news just upset me.
New update??
I upgraded to 5.1 and notice there is an update pending. Anyone know what they are patching? I doubt they would push out another update for this phone unless something is vulnerable.
I guess if obtaining root was possible, someone would have done it by now. I would've liked to install a Marshmallow ROM, but 5.1 works great, so that's something.
Why
I'm always do what ever you said but I didn't find anything I have search

Sunshine = S-OFF = permanent root
It's probably early still, but can anyone tell me if we still need to downgrade our Lollipop version (S-ON) for this to work? Either way, I already planned to s-off this weekend, if no one else has tried either by then, I'll give it a shot and report back.
Thanks for all your hard work devs!!!

I haven't Rooted a phone since my old Droid X. I took the leap, did the S-Off with Sunshine, that went well. Now I'm faltering, been watching all the videos on the Forum and cant see where i'm failing. I installed TWRP manager able to get into HBOOT and Recovery. but whenever I try to run SuperSu it says i'm not Rooted.
Did I skip a step ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You just need to flash supersu.zip in twrp. That installs the binaries needed for supersu app to work.

I saw this the other day, sweet news for us! My M8 is currently in the repair shop for a new USB board, wore out. When it's back I'm doing S-Off and using it over my Note 5. Will report back on how it went, hate being without root on both my Note 4 and Note 5! Stoked! It's Verizon so I couldn't use HTCDev and it killed me.
Yes, been waiting for this for quite a while. I ran sunshine on Christmas day and finally got my HTC One M8 s-off and rooted.
I flashed TWRP then tried out nusense7 which was nice. But I'm now on CM13 nightly builds and they have been great so far. It is nice to have rooted phone again.
So glad I'm a procrastinator too

Thanks for bringing this up, I just did this weekend but the first try the temp root didn't work and the device rebooted, but try it again if this happens to you as well because the next try it all worked
I wanted to check back in just to be another testimony that it truly does in fact work now!! It was so easy, I tried this about a month ago after I first saw this thread, it didn't take... Prob just needed to try it second time around. So, I got distracted on other things for a while & figured I would give it a shot. Worked perfectly first go round... only thing is I haven't gotten my phone rooted yet (a work in progress) as I said before I get distracted easily

Congrats on freeing your phone. :good:
As for root, if you flash a custom ROM, root will come with the ROM.
If you want to stay on stock you can flash TWRP custom recovery then flash latest stable version of SuperSU in TWRP.
