Hi all. I used to be somewhat tech savvy (I built computers, overclocked them, knew a bit of unix, even got MAC OS running on a PC when they made the change to intel) but it's been ages since I really delved into any tech. So bear with me, the world of android is all new to me.
I have a XT1056, otherwise a Sprint Moto X 1st Gen. Sprint has long been dropped as a carrier and I use the phone more so as a computer/multimedia device.
I held off on updating to Lollipop but finally gave in. The major changes since switching has been :
1. Battery drains twice as fast
2. Overall slowdown
and the biggest one
3. MAJOR WiFi problems. I cannot connect to WiFi networks I previously could. Well I can connect they just don't work except for the first 30 seconds when I actually connect to the network. Even though I'm getting a strong signal it refuses to actually do anything on the network.
A factory reset didn't help.
I want to downgrade back to kitkat or even jellybean.
So far I have followed a guide that says to use RSD. I have the firmware (or ROM, What's the difference ?) for kitkat and lellybean. I've installed the Android SDK and Motorola USB Drivers.
However the flash always fails returning me :
RSD sees the phone just fine.
I even went ahead and got the unlock code and have unlocked the bootloader. It says "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code 3" (status code 3 ??)
Really I'm now at a loss, with lollipop my phone is basically a brick. All I want is to be able to return to KitKat or Jellybean. I've read multiple guides (like using ODIN ?) but I really don't know what I should do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just want my phone back to being able to pick up WiFi and I'm not opposed to running custom ROMS either.
