[Q] Restore Stock Recovery without a computer?

[TheBungle]

Is there any way to restore stock recovery without using a computer?
I bought a Verizon Moto X developer edition used and the guy has TWRP on it. So now I can't update to 4.4 with that on here.
I don't care if I lose all data in the process.

I'm just having a ridiculously hard time getting anything to recognize my phone on windows 8.1 and I don't have a ton of time in the first place.

I tried a factory reset from twrp but twrp didn't go away.


I DO have an old laptop with... xp on it if anyone has a step by step guide that works 100% they could point me to?

came from galaxy nexus btw.

My phone was recognized by windows 8.1 and 7. Sounds like you have an issue with your drivers if its not recognizing the phone.

you should use the last version of fastboot (or mfastboot), and you can set fastboot.exe to run in win7 compatibility mode

Think you could link me to the best directions for this phone? I'm reading a lot of different threads and must be way over my head. I do remember it being a hassle with my droid x all those years ago

These directions for returning to stock using RSD Lite look pretty good, and include a video:

OK so I've gotten adb working but can't get RSD lite to recognize my device. Can I just use ADB?

I'm so paranoid of bricking my new device that I fought to activate for two weeks. God damn verizon.

edit to add:
I think RDSlite is the way to go. any commonly known way to get it to find my device?

 

[TheBungle]

So i use: adb reboot bootloader
from there if I do: adb devices
it comes up blank like there's nothing attatched.

any ideas?

if there's a donate feature, I'll gladly donate a couple beers to anyone that can help me get this working in the next half hour...
It's not much but...

So I got everything working.... I think. RSD Lite seemed to work fine. Letting everything settle in before attempting the 4.4 update...


Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I thought a dev edition would have been a bit more... nexus-ey behind the scenes. Oh well, great device so far...

Glad you got it figured out, sorry I kind of left you hanging, I got busy at work.

I spent the last two weeks or so bricked and its definitely fun. Be glad you have the Dev edition. My MAXX is not, so I had to wait for the FXZ file to be released, couldn't flash anything else. Not getting the Dev edition was a huge mistake.
