Can i downgrade to jellybean...plz.
Downgrades are impossible without unlocked bootloader AFAIK
And the highest version that can unlock the bootloader currently is su4.21
All you can do is use crashxxl's trick to downgrade to su6-7(.0) and then you can use xposed

I have perm root and bt unlocked with sunshine and i am on SU4.21, i have 4.4.4. and I would like to go back to 4.2.2. Will you help me downgrade?
AFAIK, downgrading from 4.4 to 4.2 would most likely brick the phone unless you leave the 4.4 bootloader and downgrade the other files. But I don't know how stable with the phone running 4.2 on 4.4 bootloader, probably not very.

Hey guys -
Just got a Razr HD Maxx. It came with the 9.16.6.XT926 firmware.
I used Matt Groff's tool to unlock my bootloader and have confirmed that it's locked. My system is asking if I want to upgrade to 9.18.79.XT926 via OTA.
Question: If I take the OTA now (AFTER I UNLOCKED MY BOOTLOADER), will it re-lock it?
Thanks!!

For any current ota you bootloader ability will be unchanged.
For 4.4 unknown.

So, just to confirm: If i take this OTA with an unlocked bootloader, it will remain unlocked?

Yes but 4.4 is unknown.
Is this possible?
"Downgrade" to the official Cricket 4.4.2 (or .3) ROM
Install Sunshine and unlock bootloader
Install Lollipop or CM
I'm pretty sure the Cricket phones have locked bootloaders that are not easily unlocked - even through Motorola 'officially'.
I'm in 4.4.4 stock, locked bootloader, non-root and s-on. I want to be in stock lollipop with tethering enabled. I'm not in US
I know that I can get s-off with WeakSauce+sunshine (then root, unlock bootloader and enable tethering) , but since i'm not in US I can't get OTA update, then I have to use RUU.
Then I'm thinking to get s-off, apply Lollipop RUU, but to enable tethering i need a custom recovery, then I need to unlock bootloader. But to unlock the bootloader I need root (since I can't unlock it by htcdev) and I can't root if i have locked bootloader.
Any ideas?
the same to me, but now I have updated 5.0.1,also s-on and locked.

Sunshine gets you s-off and unlocks your bootloader so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Make sure you get s-off before you update to lollipop. Sunshine doesn't support lollipop yet. Once you have a custom recovery installed it's a simple matter of flashing a zip file in recovery to get root access.

I currently have version 2.1 rooted with a locked bootloader
Can I use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-lollipop-t2945044 again to upgrade to OTA 3.0? Or will I have to do something different?
Thanks
I have the Verizon XT1028 (Prepaid) and was hoping to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 in order to unlock the bootloader.
I planned on using this information:

If anyone has tried it or sees possible issues, please give your input!
Does the official Motorola bootloader unlock method not work?
