RSDlite worked from 4.4 > 4.2.2 for non Dev Edition Moto Xs?

Will this wipe user apps and data?

Yes it will wipe clean everything. Just like the day you bought it from VZW. You will need to root again as well.

This is a time where I wish android had a stable backup option not requiring root. Normally I use titanium backup however I'm keeping this stock. iOS has nailed this with iCloud.

One thing that I forgot to add is you need to remove the getvar line in the .xml file.

I can only say this works for VZW. Not sure about other carriers.

jayboyyyy · Nov 21, 2013

so can someone post that they have returned to 4.2.2 from 4.4 on a locked bootloader vzw device please. I know people said you can, or it worked or whatever. But i just want to make sure that you are on a locked device and didn't misread the thread title or something.

yeah, post screen shots of kernel, etc.

mjphillips1981 · Nov 21, 2013

I have personally done this on my LOCKED VZW Moto X.

Works like a charm. The RSD Lite, will flash it back to factory unrooted 4.2.2. You will have to use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2509590 to reroot if you want.

RSD doesn't want to see my phone, but adb and fastboot work fine. Any ideas? I'm using RSDLite 6.1.5.

I believe fastboot has commands for formatting the partitions and then just flash all the things I suppose.

This is very strange. I had read at a lot of places while updating to the camera OTA. that downgrade is not allowed..,,So now it is possible to RSD to 4.2.2 Camera OTA SBF even if we installed KitKat on a non-dev edition phone?

I think they meant downgrade to before the camera OTA?

texaslegend · Nov 21, 2013

help please

i'm a noob and need help.

i upgraded to 4.4 from 4.2.2. my 4G signal now sucks. i figure my options are to revert to 4.2.2 or if i could just find the radio kernel (or whatever its called) from 4.2.2 flash that and fix my problems.

i just don't know how to do either. can someone help (yes, hand hold me *embarrassed*) through the process so i don't brick my device?

I have a DE moto x on verizon

thanks

did you try booting into recovery and than see if it recognized your phone?

imnotmikal · Nov 21, 2013

RSD doesn't operate via recovery

Steps that I took to downgrade from KitKat. VZW Moto X Consumer (non-dev) (LOCKED)

1) download and install RSDlite and Motorola Drivers (I used RSDlite 6.1.5)
2) Download http://sbfdownload.droid-developers...2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57-X-1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
3) Unzip the file
4) Open the .xml file and delete the line that has "getvar"
5) Reboot your phone to "bootloader/fastboot" mode
6) Open RSDlite and load the unzipped edited download from above
7) Make sure your phone shows up
8) Start the flash
9) Once complete the phone should reboot and start up like normal.

I have not had any issues. I have rerooted with RockMyMoto.
