UPDATED PAGE!
Back with another utility... this time pre-release Droid 4! I haven't seen a Droid 4 board yet so I guess I have to put this under General.
There are no fastboot files as of writing this (2/11/2012) but once they come out I will be making a full version that includes fastboot restore. For now, only a few MB compared to GB full.
Includes Root function thanks to Dan Rosenberg's motofail exploit.
It is the only reason we can have a working utility root!
Donate to his fund for the Red Cross here
Note to all: I am giving control of the Droid 4 Utility to skylarmb (Although I will still be very involved )
Don't use Safestrap yet!
Hashcode is making a D4 version very soon!

Changes in 0.3----
Added new text at bottom
Removed Safestrap until D4 version released.
Added Overclock install. See guide here (Overclocking Your Droid Razr - DroidRzr.com)
(thanks coryjohn and OPPtimizer Project - http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/ )
Used "Ultra" .zip compression.
Enjoy~!
If you feel like contributing to my Razr Dev fund you may do so here.
Screenshot of what the folder should look like in order for it to run:
And if anyone could do a system pull and send me a copy over a file-share site like mediafire or minu.us that would be very helpful to me. Thanks
EDIT: Nvm. I got one.
What do the different options do? I went from having a OG Droid, with cyanogenmod which was super straight forward to this and I have no idea what the fastboot or bootstrapping does.
If you still need the /system pull I can send you the link over PM.

Bootstrap is the way to get into a CWM-like recovery for the Razr. I have no way to test this on a D4, seeing as I don't have one.
ICS root works on the GSM ICS leak, so it may work for ours too.
Boot into Fastboot from Debugging (go directly to fastboot mode from the phone turned on and in USB Debugging mode)
Boot into Motorola Recovery from Debugging (same as above but into Moto Recovery)
ADB Shell (for more manually inclined users)
Reboot phone from Debugging
I have ADB 1.0.26 (at least that is what it says when I go to Start>Run>CMD>and type in adb.
Is there anything else I need to get the phone rooted? Any other drivers or anything along those lines. I know the phone needs to be in development mode, but I want to make sure all of the other software on the computer end is up-to-date since I've had a G1, Mytouch Slide 3G, G2, and Droid 3 before picking up this Droid 4.

I think most people use the one they use with CM.
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
This one I think. You have to install via the APK.
Please correct me if there is a different one of this is the wrong one. I'm actually curious myself.
I have no technical explanation for this, but...
DO NOT RUN THE .BAT FILE AS ADMINISTRATOR.
If I right-click the .bat file and click "run as administrator" in Windows 7, everything would appear to work (at least to the splash screen), but when I selected option 1 it would come back with a bunch of lines of "the system cannot find the path specified."
When I just double clicked the .bat file it ran properly and am now set.
Again, I have no idea why it worked this way, but it did...at least on my system. Windows 7 64-bit here, btw.

I was wondering the same thing, if the RadioCom Tether Hack worked. But I tried to enable the tether on the phone, and Verizon pops up a message as long as I have a $29.95 data plan then I can tether. So I went forward and enabled teather since I have the unlimited plan, and all seems well. I went to My Verizon web and checked to see if I'm being charged, or if another service has been added, and I see non. So I will try using this for now.
Thank you XDA for putting my Utility on the front page =D
So I used the utility to root my droid 4, but I did not install the safe strap. At this point I do not plan on doing any flashing or even heavy customization. I just wanted root for install of wifi tether and titanium backup. Is there a need for safestrap before I plan on getting into flashing etc?

bricked my droid 4... for now...
I'm pretty pissed at my self... I softbricked my droid 4 days after i got it... now im just waiting for the fastboot restore option... I'll be checking back here every day now lol... does anyone know when it will be released, or is it even a guarantee it'll be released?
How did this happen? Best of luck on getting it fixed!

Well i had success using the droid razr utility before this one came out (of course cant fastboot recovery with it tho ), so i thought maybe the EternityProject WebTop Mod would work, so i tried installing it through adb and i went to do the 2nd step and found out webtop was disabled... I figure i did something wrong... so i went to restore the backup i made and all of the sudden its stuck in AP fastboot saying flash failure.
This really sucks cause i bought the lapdock 500 to go with the phone. Now I have 2 bricks sitting on my desk, until further notice.
I since i have insurance on this phone I am putting the phone up for sale on craigslist with an hdmi cable so someone can enjoy a small android tab and webtop if they want it for 120... anyone think I'll be able to sell it before the fastboot recovery is released?
Quick question....If I do a system pull and then try to throw a few things from UOT kitchen like battery percent.....would that work without the files being deodexed?

Hello. I live in the U.S. and have a Motorola Milestone A854 made in China.
Yesterday I used z4 to give myself root access. It was so easy, I loved it. I was able to adjust my processor and install premium apps.
So my buddy who knows more about Android then me try's to walk me through installing a new rom because he said it would be so much better. (i was happy where I was at)
Right after it formatted what was currently on the phone it error'd out. Now I guess I have a phone with no operating system? I'm not sure. I cannot get passed the M.
I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 installed.
Everytime I try to flash a new sbf file after it creates the image I get an error 1337 and 510b on my phone and the flashing process fails.
I just want to get back to having a working android again, I really do not care about mods and roms. I have two children on the other side of the country (i am in the service) that I have not been able to talk to and its killing me.
Please, if you can give me a hand. I'll be staring at this thread all day with my fingers crossed.

As far as I know the Milestone A854 is not able to run CWM.. What sbf are you trying to flash? Are you using RSDLite with the proper USB drivers?

Thank you for the reply! I have tried multiple SBF files all day. My buddy that broke my phone has been trying to help me fix it. I am using RSDLite 4.9 and yes I am using the proper USB drivers.
Is there any SBF files you recommend? Or any other process to get an android system back on my phone? I do not care about it being anything special, I would love to just go back to stock. I really don't care I just want to be able to talk to my family again.

Well, I'm wondering, have you been able to successfully flash an sbf?
Is your Milestone A854 really a Verizon Droid? Because if so, then you are able to use CWM.

Every time I try to flash a SBF I get a critical error message with the codes 1337 and 510B below it.
I purchased the phone through Alltel where they claimed it was a Milestone.
Under the battery it says Model: A854
If your phone is the A854, you MIGHT be able to flash one of these: http://www.and-developers.com/sbf:droid
But I don't know, I'm not sure about those SBF's so I suggest you wait until somebody else has some more experience with the A854 than me.
Ok, well thanks a ton for the help and the information so far!!

I don't think it's a Verizon Droid Skadude. Based from twitrax's description, it seems to be an Alltel Milestone.
So the SBF's that he should try should be the Milestone Eclair SBF's or the Milestone Froyo SBF's.
@twitrax: Once your phone is off, can you still access the Milestone bootlader?
Also, can you access the recovery menu?
bootloader menu = (from off state) Hold up direction in the navi key, then turn phone on.
recovery menu = (from off state) Hold "x" key, then turn phone on.

The good news is, I think you are on a bootloader locked Milestone and it's very very difficult to brick it.
Please tell us what you see in your bootloader menu. (It should be just a few lines of text.)
And silesh is right, the Milestone is a unique creature. CWM does now work on it. It will simply mess up your phone. (Supposedly very fixable though.)
@silesh: The A854 is CDMA.
you guys are awesome thanks for the help!
my bootloader is 2c.6c and yes its cdma

Any errors shown on bootloader screen? Which rom were you flashing when you got into trouble.
And clockwork recovery works on your phone. It does not work with A853, which is the milestone that i was referring to.

Ok. Now that i know for sure what your phone is, the method i was going to post will not work for you.
Wait till i find a nandroid backup of the stock Altel milestone A854 for you. Once i send you the link, you will need to flash it using the nandroid restore option on your clockwork recovery menu.

ok no problem thank you very much! also, it does not have to be stock.. what ever would be easiest!
** [UPDATE 11/16] = Minor update adding Droid3Bootstrap / RomManager support for installs. You DO NOT need Safestrap to install CM7 now. Any Bootstrap will work.
[UPDATE 11/10] = Better audio (still debugging why volume will occassionally fall back down -- if it does go into settings -> sound -> volume and drag the media slider up -- will reset it), fixed bluetooth -- 2nd ota patch .zip for 5.7.894 OTA users
It's an OMAP4 optimized AOSP build using CyanogenMod sources. I used some of the published Moto Source (9/18) where I felt it was appropriate to get the low level services running. You will not see any Blur files in this build.
Download Link Here
If you're running the 5.7.894 OTA, you will also want to apply a 2nd .zip afterward to update the few stock binaries that are in the build. It's under the .zip download links.
Changelog Here
For the most up-to-date information / builds check my blog: http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com
What is working in this build:
Phone dial and recieve calls (10/18)
Wifi
SD Cards
Audio is getting better
GPS
3G data
Bluetooth
lots I can't list
Feel free to flash gapps and test away. To download GApps go here and select the top "universal CM7 link for GB"
What isn't working:
Camera app doesn't soft reset the phone anymore, but it isn't working yet either.
Phone app FC's on the boot. Just close the notification and it'll restart 3G immediately.
Audio is very funky atm. It's getting better. If you lose volume, try opening Setting -> Sound -> Volume and drag the "media" slider down and then back up.
GSM Users:
I reviewed some changes submitted by XDA's coreless88 and for the moment I'm just not comfortable putting them in the main build. They would default the phone to GSM/WCDMA. I WILL absolutely get the native support for both GSM and CDMA working as this build matures. It just may take a while. If you really want a GSM variant of this build let me know and I'll reproduce a version with his build.prop changes. For me personally, this can't be a daily driver till the audio issues are fixed.
Great I need calling so won't try it yet, but thanks for all your work
will test it out tonight o hell more like as soon as i get a chance lol
So if 3G works can I still get texts? I don't need to talk to anyone.
yeah texts works, gapps works. just a few funny things. and not like "ha ha" funny either!
still BA!
Once installed, can I do a backup of this and flash back and forth using Safestrap?
Edit: Backup of stock rom gives an error when generating a md5. Is that a problem?
Thanks for all you hard work on this.
im bricked. i flashed back to monster, cleared, and now i cannot boot into bp tools. i start in recovery, hit bp tools, and it goes back to bootlooping. i dont have the sbf as the link is down. can anyone help? AND i only had about 40% battery

Good Question! Short answer: yes.
For now, you have to run a backup (MotoBlur), then format /system, wipe data/cache and install the CM7 zip. When you're done with CM7, you can do another backup (if you want to save CM7) and then restore your original MotoBlur. Make sure to toggle the "Safe System" setting afterward.
As soon as I fix some things in the CM7 build so that the phone is usable, I'm going to work on Safestrap some more.
The next version of Safestrap will automatically store and load your userdata when you toggle the "Safe System" setting. So there won't be a need to perform all of the backup/restores. It will just be the 1 toggle and then reboot.
And sometime in the future, I'm going to put up a MotoBlur "ROM" .zip which runs in 2nd-system. SO stuff like SteelDroid or other ROMs can be safer to install/run. Devs can use that MotoBlur ROM as a template for doing theming, and other things.
It really depends on how well received Safestrap is and if the community wants to see more of it.

I'm going to put the fastboot files on my site for download. It might take a while. Showing 2 hours for the 420M file. I'll update this post with a link in a bit.
Edit:
Unfortunately the nature of flashing ROMs over your live system on a locked bootloader phone means that the hijiack is broken until you can get into the OS and reinstall some sort of Bootstrap. And this was exactly the reason why I developed Safestrap. :/
That being said, you'll likely be able to just flash your /system using the fastboot files and you'll be fine. And don't forget to wipe userdata when swapping ROMs. I've seen countless bootloops from not wipeing userdata. This is ESPECIALLY important for CM7 vs. MotoBlur.

OH, I totally forgot that the phone FCs on boot. It reloads 3G data shortly afterward. I have a fix coming for that as well.
You could say.. the OS boots too fast for it.
THe normal boot process for MotoBlur involves the phone coming up as GSM initially, doing a few checks for network, failing and then dropping into a Janky CDMA version of GSM.
CM7 currently boots straight to CDMA.

Unfortunately the nature of flashing ROMs over your live system on a locked bootloader phone means that the hijiack is broken until you can get into the OS and reinstall some sort of Bootstrap. And this was exactly the reason why I developed Safestrap. :/
That being said, you'll likely be able to just flash your /system using the fastboot files and you'll be fine. And don't forget to wipe userdata when swapping ROMs. I've seen countless bootloops from not wipeing userdata. This is ESPECIALLY important for CM7 vs. MotoBlur.

I appreciate it. I have teh file blur_version.5.5.959.xt862.verizon.en.us.zip Is that the fastboot?
nevermind. i found it here http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?5103-SBF-Droid-3-Fastboot-files-(5.5.959-and-5.6.890)
i really appreciate you doing that for me though. i just shat a brick (no pun intended)
Hey guys, I pulled the ICS update.bin from my tab and converted it into a flashable zip file. It must be flashed from STOCK recovery, NOT cwm recovery/TWRP etc. This file basically patches every system file on the tab, so the only way to flash this successfully is to go back to stock and update your way up to stock FE01. It doesn't matter how you get to stock FE01 as long as you are on it and are using the FE01 radios. Once you have reached stock FE01, Flash this file in STOCK recovery: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/FE01a_to_LP11d_update.zip
Now, place this file: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip on your SD card.
Once you have flashed the update successfully and placed the superuser.zip on your SD card, odin this recovery: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/recovery/cwm5/p4vzw/5/recovery.tar.md5 and boot directly into recovery right after you odin it so that the tab does not boot fully into the OS and overwrite what you just flashed with the stock recovery. Once you have booted into cwm recovery, navigate to the superuser.zip and flash and then reboot. Congratulations, you're running Official ICS with root. For those that want CWM recovery to persist after reboot, delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh with a root file manager.
Of course, credit goes to ChainsDD for the superuser.zip used in this guide
And to pershoot for the CWM recovery used in this guide.
Finally!!!
I can confirm that this file does update the VZW to 4.0.4 with baseband LP11. LTE is finally functioning as well as front and rear cameras. The tab has a whole new feel to it. I haven't tried any of the root files here. I first wanted to make sure that its stable/useful before messing around with rooting.
Big thumbs up for posting
Awesome, thanks Kidserious!
Hoping Pershoot's able to pull drivers from this to integrate into CM9/10.

That's what I was most excited about...new kernel source and version. Up until now, all AOSP builds for the LTE 10.1 were based on the 2.6.38 honeycomb kernel. This new update brings us 3.1.10 and updated drivers.
Definitely will be cool.
Bah, had to go way back to an older stock image I had but eventually got back to HC 3.1 and upgraded back up.
Definitely an improvement over stock or even overclocked honeycomb 3.2. Going to be nice to get CM 10 someday.
This update is great..I'd say it was worth the wait, but since Jelly Bean is already out and soon to be dated I will not.
Thanks
This worked great! Waiting for a long time to get this on the LTE!
Woot!
Will be working on this today! Can't wait!
Maybe one of the great devs, can pull the modem out into an install file. Maybe the modem and cameras will work with JB!
Do you think we coudl use these files on the ota dowload from VZW?
Also, how did you get back to stock? I know I have Pershoots kernel, rooted and CWM
well, my dumbarse figured it out. for those that are dense like me, I used the Odin file in rylon360's thread on rootswiki.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7718-romleakodineg01-factory-stock-odin-image-vzw-lte-tab-101/ to get back to stock, then I did system updates three times. Small one, large one, Small one. to get to stock FE01.
then followed this thread to update.
Thanks so much!!!!

anyone else have issue with Tibu restoring apps? I loaded my Tibu folder back onto the device but it wont recognize the apps. Tibu had the latest update too.
Does this wipe the tablet at all?
My fiance's 10.1 is unbearably slow but she's using it for work so I can't root it. Will I be able to run the update from stock recovery and keep everything how it is?
Yes. I updated another that was all stock and it retained everything. My tab however won't see any of the tibu backups I saved to my PC. Sucks

Did you get this working? I did the same -- backup in Titanium, copy folder to PC, ran through the process to upgrade to latest version and then copy Titanium folder back to /sdcard and all was fine. I've done this several times in the past as well.
I need to do some reading and figure out how to get back to 100% stock. I am pretty sure I am just running the OTA rooted HC ROM so i will need to flash the regular stock ROM and then get recovery back.
The tab was sooo darn slow before. Cant wait to see how it does after this.

Thats what I did, wanted to start fresh so what I installed was HC 3.1 and wiped data and all. Then I ran OTA after OTA until I got to ICS. Then I installed CWM from droidbasement (pershoot) and used it to flash superuser. Tab runs MUCH better than before. I'm currently running stock kernel and intend to do a CWM image of my current setup and wait for CM updates with LTE rolled in before doing any further tinkering with the tablet. I don't even feel the need to run an overclocked kernel at this point.

Ectiech. I have flashed my phone so much I can do with eyes closed. I have done tibu this way several times. Something must have happened to the backup I made because I copied the tibu folder from my cell running slimbean jellybean rom and all the apps restored perfectly from there. Sadly I had not played the games on my phone like I did on my tablet.

I returned mine to basic Verizon, no root. Took off clockwork when I returned to stock and let it auto upgrade itself a few weeks ago. Figured it needed to be stock
Copied over and then rebooted to standard recovery and let it fly. Didn't wipe anything. Everything is there. Proggies work. Haven't check cameras.
My tab was stripped...so didn't matter if I lost everything.
Hope my pic posts...hit 58 mbs. Download driving last night. I'm town tested speed changing towers, in upper 30s.

Filesize: 565 MB (592,972,056 bytes)
MD5: 02AA630EB5E39DF6DF230F1CC8E59472
- Windows Instructions
Extract .zip to its own folder on the Desktop.
Install the required drivers. The folder with the drivers is called "Drivers [WINDOWS ONLY]" and is included in the Utility folder.
Double click the ".bat" file. This will be called "WindowsUtility.bat" the image is just for reference.
- Mac & Linux Instructions
Extract the .zip to any folder you like, the /Downloads/ or /Desktop/ folder should work just fine.
Open a Terminal window. (On Mac: Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
Learn your 'sudo' password. This is almost always your Admin password on a Mac computer. On Linux you should already know what this is, its yours account password if your account is an admin as well.
Type the following code into the Terminal Windows, places where it says ***DRAG HERE*** are telling you to simply drag the folder there. For example: cd ***DRAG FOLDER HERE*** then press 'Enter' after each line.
cd ***DRAG UNZIPPED UTILITY FOLDER HERE***
chmod +x ./LinuxMacUtility.sh
bash ./LinuxMacUtility.sh
You will be asked for your sudo password at least once in the Utility process, so make sure you followed the instructions to learn it.
Functions of the DROID RAZR M Utility 1.10:
1 Fastboot Restore (JB 4.1.1 Official Software)
2 Root (motofail2go by Dan Rosenberg) for ICS 4.0.4/JB 4.1.1
3 Install Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper App.
Number 1 Explained -- This option requires your phone be in AP Fastboot mode. It will flash the official Jellybean firmware to your device.
Number 2 Explained -- This is Dan Rosenberg's DROID RAZR M 4.0.4/4.1.1 exploit called 'motofail2go'. This option requires your phone to be booted normally, with USB Debugging enabled.
Number 3 Explained -- This option requires your phone to be booted normally, with USB Debugging enabled. It will install Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper App.
Remember, do not run this utility unless your phone is at 100% battery OR you have bought yourself one of Team Black Hat's Factory-Style Programming Adapters.
Thanks to Djrbliss for motofail2go!
Just ordered myself a Moto Razr M yesterday, should be in tomorrow. I may have to give this a try.

just got mine yesterday, rite before the above method was posted, i can assure you that its really pretty painless process even without that method, one problem i did have was while rooting, i could not get the app to work on my xp machine for nothing, xferred the files to my win7 machine and it worked the first time, i am assuming it had something to do with my administration rights on the xp. so i dont even try anything on it anymore(might save you a hassle if you still have a xp machine around). safestrap v3.12 was the only version i could get to work, rsd lite v6.14 was the only version i could get to work, and eclipse is the only rom i have tried so far so i am not much help there. also remember the battery is not removable so i havent even dared to try anything without 100% charge. good luck and grats on your new phone!
p.s if you havent read yet the internal storage is very low, so you will eventually want to install your custom rom over your stock rom slot in safestrap. if you need advice on doing it lemme know, there is a few posts about it(jumbled in the middle of hundreds of posts) if you can find a few.
Thanks for the tips. I have seen the other methods here on XDA, however this is the only one I can find that works native under Linux. (I've been sober for 6 years and counting) no windows machines in my house. Well, maybe a VM or two I wasn't planning on ROMing (just root) it until a reliable bootloader unlock is made available for the retail version. I like the idea of safestrap, it's defiantly in the right direction. But personaly I much rather have only a single ROM on my phone, something about "dual boots" just bothers me. But I digress...
Extremely simple and great tool. Thanks!

Well, all this is, is a utility to make installing the official JB firmware on your Motorola Droid Razr M easier, then root it using the exploit, and finally install the Voodoo OTARootkeeper apk file. You can do each of these steps manually, this is just for convenience - sort of a 1-stop-shop, if you will.

Just tried the script going from stock ics and it worked great. Also digging the Batman theme.
Much appreciated for putting it together.
Not sure what happened here but options 2 and 3 worked fine on Mac and PC. Could not get the restore to work on either os, eventually used RSD and the firmware file that came with the utility. Mac failed to push system and PC would not recognize the option as a valid cmd.
How long is the flashing supposed to take? Its been going on for about an hour and half, still says writing 'sb12'. sb11 was succesful so im too scared to yank it out and start again. Bricking it is the last thing i want.
I dont know what im doing wrong. Connected fully charged usb debugging and i press space bar to continue and it closes. Odd anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Guys
The tool did not work for me last night at all. Ran is as admin, and it always just said that fastboot was an unrecognized command, then said complete without doing anything.
so, I just used RSD lite in that .zip and flashed the stock rom manually. Worked great fater 2 tries (no idea why the first 2 failed, but they did).
Does this work on 4.1.1? I'm defiantly missing something

Oh, well I will try it not as an admin sometime. I extracted the .zip, and ran it. No file movement at all. it would see the phone, but then cmd windows would say that 'flashboot' was an invalid command about 7-8 times and ask me to press any key again. And then nothing, then any key again. No idea why, but I ran it as instructed except the admin thing. I've used a couple of tools like this in the past (something similar existed for my Droid X), so I don't know what the issue was.
Yes I ran it from the same folder. Must have been something on my end that caused the issue, but I got where I needed to be.

You can't use it from 4.1.2 the security increased. I would have found out but not a single viable tester apparently follows me on twitter who still has a locked bootloader.
http://batakang.com/ftp/DROID_RAZR_M/DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20.zip
I am testing this now with new 4.1.2 tools.
I am not a pro like you guys, but when I bought my unlocked "X Developers Edition 1053" from USA, I could not resist unlocking its bootloader and rooting it.
However I never tried to change the stock ROM, and used my rooted phone for some great apps
But Two days ago, my Phone which was on 4.4.3 got an update to 4.4.4 And I thought why not its just 15 MB update, lets do it.
Wish I would'nt have done that, coz I read somewhere that a rooted phone should not be updated, and now it just shows me the Moto startup Animation for a few seconds and shutdown.
I STFW but got too many ways and I got confused, thought It would be best not to **** my phone with any wild solutions and make problem worse.
I tried starting the phone in fastboot/recovery mode it does go into that mode, when I press Lock and Power Up/Down keys together, and I tried all options in it except "Factory" option, but nothing happens.
So this is it guys, am I really screwed in a big way, or is there any hope for me :crying:
Please help me, even a direction to proper way would also mean a lot.

You have a custom recovery i assume?
You can try clearing just cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work, May have to clear data too....all your apps and data will be gone though. Not your pics and internal SD stuff though, that will be untouched.
---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------
Next step is see what bootloader version it shows now. If it's still 4.4.3....You can flash the 4.4.3 factory image to get back and running.
Don't downgrade though....that could brick you.
Removed Cache but now: Fastboot Reason Sticky bit factory _fastboot
After applying the following command:
fastboot erase cache
It now gives me error:
Fastboot Reason Sticky bit factory _fastboot
and nothing happens.
I checked moto's website for my framework 4.4.3, but it isn't listed there Firmware till 4.4.2 is only listed there, is it ok to flash this version ?
No, it's not. If you downgrade you can/will likely brick. Now or later.

If you're giving up trying to save your data and just want your phone back, and if you're sure you have the xt1053, and you're sure 4.4.3 is what you want, then follow the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/back-...to-x-xt1053-to-android-4-4-3-kitkat-firmware/
if you wanna save data you might hold off in case anyone else has any ideas.
in the future always make a nandroid backup of your android device asap and after each ota update. you do that from the custom recovery that you installed, and save a copy off your device, on a computer or hd. speaking of the custom recovery, after you make the nandroid and flash superSU, if you're not using it regularly then it's probably better to flash back stock recovery. from what I understand it is not having root that's causing problems with OTA updates, it's the custom recovery. So if you keep it stock you don't have to remember to flash back for OTA, while still enjoying the benefits of root. the OTA will break your root, but since you're unlocked anyway you just have to go through it after each ota and you're golden.

According to gsmarena moto x is
Available as:
Motorola Moto X XT1058 for AT&T
Motorola Moto X XT1053 for T-Mobile
Motorola Moto X XT1052 for Europe
Motorola Moto X XT1056 for Sprint
Motorola Moto X XT1060 for Verizon
Motorola Moto X XT1055 for U.S. Cellular
To my mind XT1053 should be the same whatever it's called T-Mobile or developer, only difference being in the fine print where one voids your warranty for unlocking and the other doesn't. but you might wanna confirm that.
As for the link, guess it's down. but the main thing is the firmware exists online.

The unlocked GSM Moto X dev ed is the exact same phone as the TMobile Moto X - they are both XT1053 - so you use the TMobile SBF for the unlocked GSM dev ed.
Right now the SBF firmware site is down so you are going to have to wait until they get it back up. The site is not working for anyone right now.
Also keep in mind that since you bought directly from Motorola, you have a 1 year warranty on the device and since it is a dev ed, the warranty was not voided when you unlocked it. So if worse comes to worse, you can return for a warranty replacement as long as you are still within 1 year of purchase.

I don't use CWM so I would have to look it up myself. I use TWRP. You can probably find out how to do it through CWM's website.
Once you figure it out, make a nandroid and keep a copy on your PC. Then flash the 4.4.4 sbf. Then install a custom recovery, root 4.4.4 and install Titanium back up. Then extract your data from the nandroid using TiBU.
At this point, you should do some reading. It's obvious you have no idea what you're doing. Stop now before you screw your phone up any further.
Thanks nhizzat and wansanta, Will do some search on nandroid for sure.

Wouldn't do anything that I don't know what it does.

If you can get into CWMR, you can make a nandroid. And if you can make a nandroid, you can extract your data using TiBU.

I created a backup from CWM, but it will be placed in Phone's internal memory right ? So when I flash my phone with TMobile ROM, wouldn't it erase the backup file too?
Is there a way to extract the backup file to my PC directly before flashing ?

Again I don't use CWMR so I can't tell you how that works. With TWRP, the backups are in a folder labeled TWRP. You just connect your phone to your PC and copy that folder to your PC.
