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!

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.
