Just got my new Moto x verizon dev after loosing my other one. Its on 4.2.2 & im thinking of staying there till 4.4.4 comes out.
Will it update directly to 4.4.4 from 4.2.2?.
I assume ill be able to root it when it recieves 4.4.4
Thanks

No, it will not update directly. All OTAs are "incremental updates"..... e.g. you must be on 4.2.2 to accept the "camera update", you must have the "camera update" to take the OTA to 4.4, and you must be on 4.4 to take the OTA to 4.4.2, etc.
If you want to go straight to 4.4.4, it is possible, but only when the ENTIRE stock SBF is made available. When it is available, you will find it here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
You will follow the instructions in the "Return to Stock" thread to flash an entire stock SBF file.
As long as your bootloader is unlocked, you should have no issues rooting once on 4.4.4 (whenever it gets released).
Good Luck
Also note that unlike OTAs, SBFing will erase ALL of your data (equivalent of a factory reset).
Hey there,
I recently bought a brand new 1st gen Moto X and its currently running Jelly Bean 4.2.2. When I try to update it, it says "Your device is up to date! No update is necessary at this time.".
I've never flashed a ROM before so its new to me. But could I get a factory Kit Kat image and flash it with the stock recovery? To do that, do I need to unlock my bootloader?
Any help would be appreciated! I'm very sick of Jelly Bean.
Thanks.
What model of Moto X do you have? The model number is listed on the back of the device near the bottom. It will say XT10## where the last two numbers indicate what model you have for a specific carrier.
Your carrier may not have the 4.4.4 update available yet.
Yeah I've got the XT1058 on Rogers in Canada. My sister also has an XT1058 on Rogers, but she has gotten Kit Kat OTA.
I just think it should have gotten Kit Kat by now. Is it risky to flash a factory Kit Kat image?

Nope, not risky. That's what I would do.
Follow the instructions in the "Return to 100% stock" thread. Should take less than 15 minutes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Since the leaked 4.4.4 sbf isn't available yet (at least not on droid-developers), I suggest flashing Rogers 4.4.2 ( here is the link: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=822 )
Afterwards, you can take the update to 4.4.4.
To answer a couple of your questions: Follow the instructions in the linked return to stock thread. Everything you need is in there. You do NOT flash from recovery - you flash using "RSD Lite" or "mfastboot". Also, unlocked BL is *NOT* required to flash your stock, signed firmware. As long as you read the instructions, this should be very simple.
Currently on Lollipop system version 22.11.6.victara_tmo.tmo.en.us
I tried using the guide that helped me get to Lollipop from kit kat, now I want to go back to kit kat, but the 2nd command fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img failed
Is it even possible to downgrade to KitKat?
I used the multi tool and was able to get back to 4.4.4

I have an unrooted device with lollipop, but hate it, also battery life seems shorter. Do you know of a way to revert back to KitKat without rooting?
I am using the Dynamic Kat rom and was trying to figure out how i could just get rid of safestrap and dynamic kat and all of that and just go back to regular old 5.0. ANy guides? or do i need to wipe and reflash with Odin?
