[Toolkit] Moto X Dev Edition Only for MAC OSX v2.03

mjphillips1981 · Mar 1, 2014

Hello everyone. I just sold my Moto X so I will no longer be updating this toolkit. I will try and help anyone with questions/problems when needed.

Back by popular demand...

I have had some people asking for links for my previously deleted toolkit.

So I have decided to revamp the toolkit for dev edition devices only. (Currently only supporting GSM dev (AT&T and T-Mobile) and VZW Dev)

With this toolkit you will be able to the following...
1) Root your device (unlock bootloader, install TWRP, install superSU)
2) Unroot your device
3) Return to stock
4) Debloat (google, moto, vzw stuff)
5) Activate mobile hotspot (VZW only)
6) reboot (recovery, bootloader, device)
7) Customize (bootanimation, bootlogo, ringtones, notifications)

How to use
1) Click download below
2) Extract zip file
3) Turn you phone on
4) Make sure USB debugging is enabled
5) Plug your phone into the computer.
6) Run moto_x_mac_tools.tool
7) FOLLOW ONSCREEN INSTRUCTIONS

Download
Moto X Toolkit v2.03

Change Log
v2.01 - Fixed some bugs with restoring back to stock, removed ReadWrite status (with dev edition this status is not needed)
v2.02 - Added downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4
- When returning to stock, or downgrading, USER DATA will be erased (no longer an option)
- There are only 2 variants of the dev edition so I changed to Verizon and GSM
v2.03 - Updated to latest supersu and TWRP

Please do not redistribute/mirror this toolkit. If you would like to link it in any other thread, please include a link back to this thread, give proper credit.

As with anything you will find on XDA, I am not responsible for anything that occurs to your phone or computer by using this toolkit.

Awesome, I used your old toolkit to flash stock recovery (so I could take the ota) and then back to TWRP. It was so easy! I'm sure others will appreciate this as well.

unlock with moto first?

Do I need to unlock my bootloader with Motorola before using the toolkit? I do have a VZW Dev device, but wanted to confirm.

This utility is amazing and a must for anyone with a Mac! Thanks x100!

You can either unlock before using the toolkit. Or you can use the toolkit to guide you through the unlock. If you go to root device. The 1st question is if you are unlocked or not. If not, it will guide you through the process of unlocking the bootloader (semi-automatic). Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for re-posting this tool.

I am trying to go back to stock 4.4 to get the OTA (I have a Dev Ed VZN Moto X). I followed the on screen directions and downloaded the VZN 4.4 file (640 MB file). Then the phone reboots to bootloader (ReadWriteMode is 0). I press ENTER since the device has booted into FB mode and it says USB connected, the ReadWriteMode reads error: device not found (I did not unplug the phone from the computer).

Is there a fix for it? The same thing happens when I try to download 4.4.2.

Thanks

When in fastboot mode. The readwrite will say device not found. An ADB command is used to check the readwrite status. And ADB commands do not function while in fastboot mode.

You are ok to continue.

I pressed enter to continue but my phone just reboots and restore does not work.

But when I tried to flash the stock recovery, readwrite says 0 and works like a charm. The problem only occurs when I try to restore the device.

I will test on my device. I will let you know what I find out.

I found a typo in the script. I am trying it now. Should see a new download shortly. Thanks for pointing this out.

Not a problem. Again, thank you for making a great tool! I will test out the new version and report if there are any problems. Let me know when the new one is up.

It worked. I was able to upgrade to 4.2.2. Thank you so much. One thing though, the color on the screen is off. So far it looks like the color red is off. This might be my device only. I am going to flash 4.2.2. again and see if it happens again.

I just did the factory restore to 4.4.2 and all of my colors are ok.

Make sure you erase user data when it asks you. But this will erase everything.

I did the factory restore again to 4.2.2 but I still have the same issue. I think something is wrong with my display. I think I need to call vzn and have them send me another unit.

Should i downgrade to 4.4? Or is it a bad idea?

Here is what I would do...

Just install TWRP and install Eclipse 3.2.1. This is the ROM that I use. It is great!! See if that fixes your color issue. If it does not. They I would say your device is f-ed up.

I tried flossing Eclipse 3.2.1 and the color was still off. My camera is not working as well. Maybe I will lock up the boot loader and restore it to 4.2.2 again. But your tool works great.

Currently on the phone with Motorola...

I should not downgrade to 4.4, right?

I am not sure if you can downgrade or not with a dev edition. I have never tried. I know some people that have a consumer VZW (locked bootloader) cannot downgrade.
