Root [Sprint] Need Help With Moto X!!??

[gabe90062]

Ok today in the morning i got a notification to update my phone so it said install now or later i clicked install now well after that it said it will restart so it restarted now it keeps on restarting every 30 secs i turned it off and tried to go in recovery mode but it just restarts normally and i can't do factory reset because it does the same ****. In 30 secs i tried and went to factory reset in android setting but when i click on it nothing happens. Is there a way to flash a recovery with fast boot? Or can i format the SD Card from the phone but will it erase the os? Please help i need this phone by towmorow

yeah from fastboot the command in adb/fastboot would be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

make sure the recovery you want to flash is in the platform-tools folder and renamed to "recovery" (instead of twrp, cwm etc.)

how about this --> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

 

[gabe90062]

Thats what im using but when i type $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data in the cmd it gives me the dns server thing

 

[KJohns]

are you able to see your device from the computer when its in fastboot?

"fastboot devices"

if youre on windows try without the $

 

[gabe90062]

When i go in i type devices but it says the same thing. Did i do it wrong? I got all the drivers i need it. Is there a step by step also my Moto x fast boot says Transfer Mode USB connected and in the bottom it says getvarall.

you may have to relock the bootloader for this to work. id suggest making a backup just in case. also - did you install a recovery, and are you rooted?

1. On the Home screen, tap and drag down the notification bar.
2. Tap the Quick Settings icon.
3. Tap Settings
4. Tap System Updates > Update Motorola Software

 

[gabe90062]

Im rooted i have a recovery in my computer that i use to fastboot how do you install the recovery on the phone? The reason i had the restarting issue was because i tried to install this update. Its tells me to update when i check for updates.

 

[KJohns]

from my understanding if you are rooted, have a recovery, and an unlocked bootloader system updates tend to not work. you would have to return to completely stock w a relocked bootloader in order to sys update w out problems.

or... find a custom rom or flashable zip that has these updates included in it.

 

[gabe90062]

Then i should wait a while when roms pop out because there's not so many and the bugs they fix don't matter that much if it was a android update then it will be more important do you think rooting your phone is a great choice because my old evo i rooted just to overclock but this phone came out last month.

I moved this Sprint root-related thread to the Sprint All Things root sub-forum.

i usually root so i can remove bloatware, oc, install custom roms, etc. it really all depends on what you want to do with your phone.

 

[gabe90062]

Alright same here thanks for the help bro
