Hey folks,

So, some of the instruction steps I am not expert already. Once I do this kind of thing once or twice I usually never need help again. However, this would be the first one I do in a few years.

Anyway… Moto X device, replace OS with Eclipse ROM. The instructions have a few steps.

So, first of all, I have already gone into developer mode. The OEM unlock that is often there is not, so I need to know how to do that via ADB. I could probably look that up. The next thing is it says I have to already be on 4.4.4 Android build, and I cannot find that level of specificity in the About. I will post the page.

I have downloaded the appropriate rom file. Then it says wipe data but don’t do a complete reset. Okay I will do that.

Install the ROM. Okay, how?

Reboot. I can handle that.

So, I guess I need to unlock bootloader via ADB, I need to determine and ensure the current KitKat is up to 4.4.4 Need to install the new ROM

If someone could help me with these, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!

    Android 4.4 long predates the OEM unlock option in developer settings.

    You’ll probably want to find a guide specific to that device to get to flashing TWRP, then it would be like most other devices/ROMs via TWRP. If you’re lucky it’ll be the classic couple fastboot commands to the bootloader and good to go.

    Once in TWRP it’s just menu driven so it’s pretty easy.

    I think you need to do some more reading. But you’ll do fastboot unlock ( enable unlock in developer settings) then adb to install your recovery (twrp or whatever for that version) then flash your rom.

    Sounds like you are still on stock recovery. Did some poking around and found this. Start here then pick a ROM.
