No. First you need to flash a stock rom if you're not already on one. Once you do that you need to flash the stock recovery. You do this the same way you flashed cwm but flash the stock recovery instead of cwm. You can also skip the backup step. After that you can use super oneclick to unroot the phone. At that point you will be good.

Yeah you're good then. Just double check that it removed the Superuser app so you know it worked.

Can't update HELP!

I've been trying to do the OTA update and can't. I've uninstalled recovery, uninstalled safestrap, updated my SU, unfroze all apps, and downloaded voodoo. Well after I think 7 attempts of this I decided to switch methods and do it through fastboot. Well I can't get fastboot to actually stay open on my computer to accomplish this. I have tried to figure that problem out too no help there. I'm assuming I deleted something before I froze the apps that isn't allowing me to do the update. Is there any solution to all this? Especially getting fastboot to work. Also in safestrap the first time I flashed something to my safe system it worked fine. After that regardless of what I did I could never get another rom to work. Everything else just sent it into a black screen forever.

What are you using to try to fastboot? RSDlite or jsnweitzel's Droid 4 tool?

I would try using the Droid 4 Utility. I successfully fastbooted GB a while back using it. Also, make sure you have the latest moto drivers installed.

Yeah I just did that. It worked took a couple minutes but I'm all updated now.

[Q] stuck in bootloop

while trying to get a recovery to work with no avail, i wiped cache and did a factory reset and now i am in a boot loop. wish i could remove the freaking battery. just got my phone today and the first thing i did was updated to sense 4.3. I then unlocked the bootloader successfully. I started having problems with flashing a recovery even though the bootloader said unlocked and tampered. twrp would not boot, but i got cwm to boot. the problem on cwm was i didnt have access to all the folders like the downloads folder that had the su zip. I did have avast already installed while i was trying to root(going to activate antitheft once rooted) i thought avast might be the problem so i uninstalled went back into recovery wiped cache and did a factory reset hoping cwm would access the folder i need nope. so i was calling it a night and booted up the phone and now it is STUCK. It was easier rooting my evo 3d with brick method. PLEASE HELP ASAP

none of the recoveries will mount to anything but thank you for your help hopefully the RUU works

There is no RUU for 4.3 yet.

[Q] Device powers off shortly after booting up after attempting AT&T 4.4 OTA

My AT&T moto X was rooted via RockMyMoto, but I decided I didn't need root, so I allowed my device to update to 4.4. After it powered off to install the update, it immediately booted back up. And now after about 30 seconds or so after it boots up, the phone turns off and repeats the process. Any suggestions? It is a locked boot loader At&t Moto X.
Thanks

You can not flash the ota while having any form of a hijacked or custom recovery, you need a 100 % stock rom with the stock recovery. This has been talked about several 100 times already not being or trying to be a prick but really getting sick of reposted and duplicate threads . theres a search function , please use it

Thanks for the reply. I do understand this concept, its just that my device symptoms didn't seem to match anyone else's. I appreciate it.

Yes it does, the ota is found in the cache folder, so you need to delete it or move it, you can delete it with fastboot erase cache or you can try erasing cache in recovery

Can i Factory reset while rooted?

I have a xt1053 bootloader unlocked and rooted with towelroot with Stock Recovery. Can I factory reset safely? Thank you in advance.

If your bootloader is unlocked, there is no need to use TowelRoot, PIE, or TowelPIE root. Just flash TWRP recovery, and root.
But yes, you can safely factory reset your phone if you have stock recovery already on it.
If you are using TWRP, CWM, or other custom recovery, it is suggeted you boot into the custom recovery to "Wipe" from there, rather than using the phone's menu option for Factory Reset

@KidJoe so regardless of root status it is safe? Phew because if it wasn't I was just going to flash twrp and start flashing away. But I wasn't quite ready to start flashing roms. I just barely got around to unlocking the bootloader

Because of how TowelRoot and PIE work, yes, its safe. Their changes are lost at power off/on anyway. A factory reset would then clear away any files they might leave on /data or such.
If you were trying to "undo" SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo, then I'd suggest flashing stock rom (with data wipe) in addition to factory reset, then flash TWRP and root.

@KidJoe Before unlocking BL the towelroot would be lost on reboot. Since unlocking the BL root sticks on reboot.

If that is true, then I would definitely flash the stock SBF for the Android/ROM version on your phone to completely remove it.
I don't know anyone really using Towel or PIE with an unlocked bootloader (write protect disabled), and I don't know enough about what Towel does to say if what is left over might get in the way... so to be safe... re-flash your phone. BUT be careful to use only the rom version already on your phone, and do NOT DOWNGRADE.

@KidJoe that would be this for XT1053 Dev edition correct?

As long as you have 4.4.3 on your phone now, sure.
GO to App Drawer -> Settings -> About Phone. the SYSTEM VERSION should match the description of the file you download from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
so if your system version is 212.44.21.ghost.xxxx then that is the right file

Yup. So I just put this in the folder where my sdk is right?

See -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html
Option 3 and Option 5 are the most often recommended. However, in your case, Option 2 might be enough.

OK let me run this by you. I'm at work and having my phone in this state of disarray is driving me crazy. If were to do a factory reset right now and something went wrong would I still be able to flash stock img? And worst case scenario I could send my phone to Motorola since my warranty is not voided?

How is your phone in a state of disarray? Unlocked, running PIE should be fine. Are you experiencing some problem?
If you factory reset and you get into troubles, its not going to brick your phone to the point where you have to send it in for warranty.
If you have mFastboot, the Android SDK/PlatformTools/ADB, and the right drivers on your PC, you could flash just system.img in a matter of minutes. A complete flash of all parts in the SBF zip file (one operation at a time) can be flashed via mfastboot in less than 15 minutes.
If you want to wait until you get home, you can use RSDLite which is a little easier to flash (it does all parts, one at a time) for you. No typing.

Just in case anyone is on the same boat. All I did was unroot in SuperSU and did a factory reset. No issues.
