I have a VZW 16GB Moto X currently rooted and safestrap installed, I keep defering the update since I don't want to lose root and am pretty sure it will fail since stock recovery is gone.
What are my options to either get the OTA with root or disabling the update notification?
I am not 100% sure i want to dive into an SS ROM nor is there really anything out there.
Just trying to figure out what I should do / what everyone else is doing.

I would get the OTA with root. The camera and phone call difference really do show in my opinion.
To keep your root I would rsd back to stock. Download pwnmymoto and install it BUT don't run it. Just have it installed. Then update. After the update you can run pwnmymoto and you'll have root with the OTA. Jcase said this is the correct way to do it.

I will consider doing that, it's just a giant PITA since I will have start from scratch.. Coming from the S III and flashing a new ROM every day this is so different to me lol. There is nothing wrong with the stock ROM just regretting not waiting for the dev edition to be honest.. I still use my S III as a media player and lately have been thinking of switching back, just hoping we get 4.4 soon or something to make it a bit better.
I know safe strap is another option but haven't heard great things about it and back in the droid 3 days remembered using it.
Just backup your apps and restore after you're rooted again. No starting from scratch necessary. I used titanium backup and didn't have any issues.

fyi. if you are on vzw then SS is an easy fix for you. The "not great things" you heard were just posts from when SS was having some problems. I have SS up and running with the new rom for vzw in a rom slot and flashed the new radios and everything is working perfectly. No problems for me at all. Also, tibu is really easy to use and will restore system data, your launcher and anything you want. Very minor things that you will need to screw with after using it. Takes about an hour and a half if you need to do things to your system after you start using the new rom. If you don't need to make any of those edits then it really only takes about 30 mins from installing SS to having the new rom running with all your settings and apps.

What about the limited space that is available when using SS?
Also idk If I want to RSD back to get the OTA seeing as "eventually" we will get 4.4 not sure what to do right now lol

if you are worried about space then just flash it to the stock rom. I have plenty of space. with 500 photos on it. I don't use music though. You don't have to rsd to get the ota. You can just flash the recovery.img if you didn't touch the system or flash the system.img as well if you need to using fastboot. Take some time to learn what fastboot and adb are and how to use them and you will be happy you did. Doesn't take much time at all. They are kind of the same thing, how they work at least.
Use fastboot when in fastboot mode. Use adb when the phone is just on normally. Then run appropriate commands. "adb reboot" "fastboot reboot"
here is a link on how to use adb and if you go through it and understand everything then you will also understand fastboot and fastboot will already be installed as well). Then you can take the ota without losing data and having to use RSD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872128
As for the new radios, you will need to use fastboot. you flash the non-hlos.bin then erase modemst1 and modemst2 then flash the fsg.mbn. if you want help with it just send me a pm

Looks like WiFi isn't working on that ROM!?
Also could I restore my stock ROM to a ROM Slot on SS and then flash the OTA ROM over it?
This would not require TiBu or anything like that..
Just trying to figure the best and easiest way to do this.
Not sure bit if your on a slot it shouldn't hurt to try. I'd make a backup and put it on PC or the cloud to be safe.

So boot into SS, backup my stock ROM - save on my pc, then make a ROM slot in SS and restore the backup to the slot? Can you even do that lol
Then if all is well flash the SS OTA ROM on top and I SHOULD be okay..
Might give it a shot likely need to update SS idk what the latest version is

Ended up restoring my stock slot backup.
I did however manage to update the baseband, super easy!
EDIT: Flashed the ROM on XDA and now I have working WiFi, looks like the one on droidrzr didn't work for me.

keep in mind before anyone updates to the official jb. i suspect the official release will be patched to not allow us to return to ics. if you keep root after the update good but if you some how break root there might no be a way to get it back as of now! so be cautious before you accept update. we should at least wait for an official jb fxz if you plan on keepng root this way if you mess something up at least you will have a working phone back without root of course. again i dont know they will patch the official release to prevent downgrade but lets find out for sure to be on the safe side. i dont think were gonna get dan to make us a jb root method right away soon.....
It could be considering its small size. Those who have updated to JB OTA should install safestrap and make a backup.

That's not the official one... A leak update for a leak update is not the official OTA. The official package (if for some reason it is 98.4.20) will be the size of at least the 2 leak update.zips together. It is not a 10 MB change from ICS to JB. It's a 10 MB change from JB leak to JB leak.

I can confirm that this OTA does block you from going back too ICS. Lucky for me, I have backups, and i kept root, so I can go back by restoring one of my backups. But I think this leak OTA is pretty good, so I'm not to upset.

Just to clarify for Pete.
We don't want your information stored on your phone.
1) Restore back to ICS using the "restore function" in SS3/TWRP
2) Do a Factory Data Reset in settings.... privacy..... Factory Data Reset (this will wipe all personal info from the phone).
3) After you've done a Factory Data Reset, do a backup in SS3/TWRP.
4) Zip up the folder that has the backup you just performed, and upload it to a file server somewhere.
5) Post the link in this thread.

Not sure if I missed it, but didn't see anything via searching. Is there any way yet for us on the Verizon DE with a custom recovery to install/flash the current update? Without restoring the phone to stock and/or flashing back to a stock recovery.
I assume we are just waiting for the correct files to be extracted from the update, so that we can flash them, but thought maybe I missed something along the way.

This won't help you but in case you didn't know you could, I'm running the updated tmobile rom on my dev edition vzw Moto x. You get native tethering that way too. You just have to flash the vzw build.prop on top, the original one works fine. Then you need an app like 4g lte switch to enter phone settings and change to lte/cdma auto(prl) to receive and make calls and txts. Pretty cool I think. This way I've had the update for almost a month now and didn't have to wait for Verizon

I suppose that would work if you didn't want to wait on Verizon for updates. FYI native tether is also easy to achieve on Verizon without the T-Mobile hack.
Hopefully Verizon is fairly quick when updates are released, this round wasn't bad at all so I didn't mind the wait too much.

Borrow a friend's pc or go to a library and use Samsung Kies, but you will lose root.
This is most likely because you deleted some the system apps that came with the stock rom..... This is why I never delete them only freeze with titanium backup! This happen to me on Ml9 so I had to restore stock rom reroot put super su in survival mode and then take the update!

Wow. Anyway, I was rooted, but had Wanam installed and successfully updated to Nb4. I had the fake system status set to official. I was alwasy under the impression if it said Official you could update.
And great, because now we all have to follow a really complicated guide to restore back to MJ5 if we want kitkat.
I was rooted on mj5 no wanam or anything and my phone update to nb4
It didn't even ask.
What you probably did was delete the att update software so now it's not even looking.

I don't think being rooted affects your updating. I have read many people accidentally updating and loosing their root. If you couldn't update with root, people wouldn't freeze at&t update.

I guess you could try to extract the apps you're missing... Next time you may just want to freeze the apps instead of deleting them completely.
There are MANY threads and posts about getting back to stock to take an OTA already, but...
Short answer, you could download the SBF for the rom version you are on from -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Unzip it.
Use mFastboot to flash the system.img onto your phone.
You will also need to make sure you have the stock recovery.
If you have a locked bootloader, and take 4.4.2 update, there are many cautions...
You might retain root during the OTA, but write protection will be come re-enabled (i.e. you'll lose the effect of MotoWpNoMO), so any changes you make to /system or the like wont be retained after power off/on (aka hard boot).
There is no process for locked bootloader to disable Write Protection while on 4.4.2.
If you lose root, there is no way to root 4.4.2. Flashing back to previous roms may or may not work, and can cause your phone to brick.
But if you have an UNLOCKED bootloader, the same process to root previously (flash twrp, boot into it, install SuperSU from there) works to root all versions, including 4.4.2

Kid Joe, what's your opinion of 4.4.2? Is it worth it to wipe your phone from an unlocked, rooted 4.4 stock ROM to gain any benefits that might be had in 4.4.2, or am I better off keeping what I have? Btw.. I love gravity box and Xposed. They're the only reason I rooted, that and the ability to delete bloat.

If everything is working, you don't have any bugs or issues, and its all setup the way you want, then just like any update, you have to weigh your options. How much time/effort will it take you to undo and redo your settings to either take the OTA, or flash with RSD? Is that worth it for what the change log for this update lists?
If you use an Exchange mail account, I would consider it because that is fixed in 4.4.2, and broken in 4.4.
You could just wait, but when the next update comes out, you'll need to be on 4.4.2. So now, or later, you'll have to decide.
I don't suppose anyone has a link to RSD?

Hint.. see the thread about retuning to 100% stock using RSD ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515 )
Thanks again! Wasn't being lazy. Search from the phone app needs some work.

Everytime I run AdAway it hang on the applying host file and most of the time will reboot the phone. Running stock rom with captain throwbacks unsecured boot. I have also tried flashing a symlink in recovery which flashes fine and then change adaway setting to the new location. It still locks up the phone. I'm now s-off & even after symlink and changed location or default location it still locks the phone. I have also tried the 2.8.1 unofficial version on xda also hang on the phone. I don't know what else to try at this point.
I'm using it on mine. Works fine after s-off
I'm on stock rom that's rooted. Not sure what is up with yours.
My adaway version is 2.3
If you are not s off the system write protection will not let u modify the system

Before I s-off I did flash Unsecured boot.img and applied this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51560297&postcount=20
Maybe that has something to do with it.
So now that I'm s-off can I just restore my nandroid of stock rom and try it again? Bloat kept reinstalling itself before I applied the boot.img & patch.

Yup. Shouldn't have any issue if you nandroid back if you've got s-off. Make sure you restore everything.

I will prob just do a clean install of badseed instead of restore stock backup. Are you using badseed? Was gonna wait a while to flash it but I'm not really a fan of stock either and I was reading badseed has some bugs in it such as not being able to sign into google account.
I am having the same issue on BadSeed 1.2 with S OFF

I might have to hold off if you are having the same issue. It always worked find on my m7. I wonder why it works for some and not others?

no I'm on stock ROM. There isn't a ROM yet worth flashing over to. The stock ROM is pretty great IMO.

Yea I was going to wait a while before switching from stock. So now that I have s-off if I restore my nandroid backup will I still need to reflash a new boot image or apply a kernal patch or if I uninstall bloat will it make it past a reboot?
