[Q] recovery for 4.4.3

[htc-desire5]

Hi guys
i am on 4.4.3 in moto x and i received 4.4.4 for ota but i cant update because i unlocked bootloader and twrp in recovery,
how do i install 4.4.3,
i think install a recovery stock but i did not find recovery stock for 4.4.3 only for 4.4.2
or reinstall all stock for 4.4.2 make it downgrade.
what do you think?

You can likely find 4.4.3 firmware or even 4.4.4 and flash it manually from the links here,

If you downgrade you could brick. If you successfully downgrade and take an OTA, you will definitely brick.

So not a wise choice. ?

Also, questions go in the Q&A section. For future reference. I'll ask this be moved. ?

This guide has sections for many tasks, including flashing firmware.

If you use the fastboot method, you could likely just flash your stock recovery once you get the proper firmware, and if you need to, mfastboot can flash the system image. Should be good for OTA then.

But again, if you find the 4.4.4 firmware for your model... Flashing it fresh manually is always my preference. ?

If you find the proper 4.4.4 for your device, that's how I personally prefer to do it.

Be aware it'll wipe your device with RSD though. Apps, pics, music, whatever... Gone . So you can move anything you want to keep to your PC.

Using the fastboot /mfastboot method will not wipe your stuff. Pics, music and everything. As long as you don't erase or flash userdata. Apps still gone though.

Your choice. See the guide I linked for instructions.

Good luck!

And once on 4.4.4...you can not ever downgrade.

thanks, i didnt find 4.4.4 for mi device only 4.4.3 the same like i use today,
i can use rds for flash the 4.4.3 and wait for ota without any problems?

I'm pretty sure only the XT1053 aka TMobile/Developer Edition has a 4.4.3 firmware. Everyone else went from.4.4.2 straight to 4.4.4.
You can confirm by checking About and looking at firmware version it should end with Retail.en.US

If you just need the 4.4.3 recovery to flash and upgrade you can find it in the 4.4.4 OTA thread here under Reminders: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/xt1053-4-4-4-ota-update-zip-t2885484

If you want the 4.4.4 firmware you can find it in this discussion second post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/help-xt1053-half-downgraded-t2934605

 

[Darth]

Yup ?

Same warning, RSD will erase everything on your phone. It will be as it was the day you bought it.

 

[htc-desire5]

thanks
@dtg7 a screenshoot
mi device has Retail.en.US.

so if i understand, i can put directly 4.4.4 from this post??

[Darth]

If you are T-Mobile, yup.

Not another carrier.

 

[htc-desire5]

really not, im from mexico and use telmex but really i dont why t-mobile.

 

[Darth]

I would wait for your firmware, unless someone confirms T-Mobile will work for you. If your radio doesn't work, or anything else, you'll be stuck on T-Mobile 4.4.4 and won't be able to then flash your stock 4.4.3 anymore.

Patience. You aren't really missing out on anything. ?

You're bootloader is definitely unlocked? Then yes, rooting is easy on 4.4.4.
