Unless you're using twrp 2.6.3.3 it will take 10 minutes to format cache, it's a bug in all versions aside from the one I stated.

Can't manage to boot.

I was going to try out the 4.3 alpha for Pac-Rom. I was on TWRP and I wiped and flashed and rebooted, and it continued to bootloop for some reason. I then tried to go to recovery, which wouldn't boot, so it was stuck on the teamwin logo indefinitely. I flashed CWM via Odin, and now I can access recovery. I tried wiping and flashing the previous ROM I had (the latest release version of Pac-Rom), still bootlooping. I tried using a wipe all zip, flashed a different ROM, same issue. Please help.

I'll try a full wipe Odin flash. I discovered I had already backed up the files I needed from the internal SD.
Edit: I got it working! I flashed stock MDC. Not sure why that worked but not MF9. Now I can flash MF9 I guess.

Sprint OTA update and instructions

Must have an untouched system for the patch to work.
If you don't have an untouched system but don't want to erase data follow these steps.
Stock recovery flashes this, so no root needed.
1.Reboot into bootloader
2. Flash the stock system image from the moto x factory restore package(if you don't know what that is go to the development section and find it.
The command to flash just the system image in Fastboot is : fastboot flash system system.img (if you place the system image in the same directory as your Fasboot and adb files.)
3.Reboot into stock recovery find the zip file on your internal storage and flash, will take about a couple of minutes and your done.
This updates, the kernel, baseband, and system files. I am quite sure the camera performance is increased in higher light situations and also noticed better focus.

This patches the root exploit by pwnmymoto. If you want to keep root and be locked, don't update.

Just for reference, us non rooted users can also download the package and flash it by booting into the factory recovery, choosing update from zip, and flashing the zip directly. Any questions, please feel free to ask.

The number is incorrect, I think it's named that because that's the system it patches. This is definitely confirmed 139.14.1.

Cant flash recovery..

Hi, I tried to flash twrp recovery with some help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 but it keeps saying fail.. I tried both options.
if rooted freegee is easier from app store, it gets proper automagically.
If trying to flash via cwm, get the recovery flashable zip from the thread and not the img. Doubt thats the case
Where did you get that awesome avatar btw?

BTW again, do I need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms like paranoid I'm on d802
"Keeps saying it failed" What failed, in what part? Also currently there's no way to unlock the bootloader, but use loki bypass instead, basically when you have recovery installed, you don't have to worry much about bootloader or loki.

Yes you can and flash them without any problems. Only in twrp settings tick the option to use different format command or it'll take like 10 minutes to wipe cache

Had the same issue a few days ago. TWRP, CWM, and Philz wouldn't flash properly, but I'm pretty sure it was my fault. Currently I have CWM installed by FreeGee (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free).
WARNING: You should know that there is a risk with using FreeGee. If you don't plan to use download mode, you're good. But currently, I am without download mode after flashing. Still trying to figure out a way to fix it. System works, recovery works, but I cannot revert to stock at the moment.

OK, let's return to the start.
1. You're sure it's rooted and SU is working? Rootcheck is on the play store and you can use that to check
2. In FreeGee, did you tap on a recovery on the bottom? And did FreeGee freeze on this step? Did you give FreeGee root access/permission?
3. If FreeGee installed a recovery, it won't automatically reboot. Have you attempted to reboot into recovery? If you're not sure if it has installed, I would not recommend going through the hard reset page because if it's not actually installed yet, you would go through a factory reset. You could download an app to boot into recovery though (I.e. CWM ROM manager, TWRP, or quickboot. All free on the play store.)

Any easy way to install twrp?

I am aware of the guides the nice people have come up with but is there an easier way such as an application? I remember, before I flashed back firmware, it was ten times easier and required no adb or commands on my end. I also flashed it over CWM which I had at the time.
Thanks.

What ROM are you currently on? Are you rooted? If on a Jellybean ROM and rooted just use Freegee from the market to install latest TWRP or Cwm instantly with no fuss. If you are on a KitKat ROM you need to downgrade which can be a long process.

if you are on 10d you can use this,just download the file and click recovery and everything should work. phone has to be on charge and not MTP.download both files in the download and place them in a recovery folder or whatever you choose to call it.
