Rom help Verizon moto x Dev edition - Moto X Q&A

I've got root access and TWRP installed on my Verizon moto x Dev edition running 4.4 kit kat. And I'm wondering if I have to install ROMs that are only 4.4 or can I install ROMs like P. A. C man rom that is only 4.3.1. Also other ROM suggestions that are compatible with my setup are appreciated! Thanks!

As far as I know, you can install anything. I would do a nandroid backup in recovery first and give it a shot. Flashing won't touch your recovery.

Accept update to 4.4 if I want root?

Hi all!
I just got an att moto x of Craigslist.
I'm planning on rooting it.
It hasn't been updated to 4.4 yet.... Is there a problem accepting the update if I want to root /unlock?

JCase has rooted 4.4 but don't take the update yet go to rootzwiki and his tutorial on how to do it is there. You start with 4.2.2.

How to root & prepare for custom rom?

I just ordered a Moto X Verizon, and I will be rooting it and flashing Eclipse rom onto it. Is there any reason not to take all the OTA updates from Verizon, and then root and do safestrap or? Not sure how it works. I
Thank you
Go read Jcase "slap my moto" thread in original development and after your done....read it again. The many posts in that thread have the answers your looking for pertaining to OTAs and what goes along with rooting the moto x on 4.4

No custom rom for you then unless you install SafeStrap.
Yea I know I'd have to use safestrap. But is the latest OTA root able and safestrapable? Just wanted to be sure before I take the ota update from Verizon

Safestrap is not KK compatible yet AFAIK.
And yes it is rootable. Good amount of work though.

Works on gummy and cm11 4.4.2, try installing it as a user app. Did it ask for root permissions ? Also try stopping and disable the stock music eq prior to installing viper4android, that worked for me

Remove TWRP to use exposed

Please don't crucify me if this is already covered. I looked but didn't find it.
I have Verizon MOTO X DE
4.2.2 using TWRP
I had lots of issues (cause I'm stupid) getting it loaded. Anyway... I want to revert back to stock 4.2.2, update to kitkat then load the exposed framework.
Can someone point me in the direction of how to accomplish that?
Thank you!
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
OK wait... Told you I was stupid.
TWRP is what gives me root? So when I created my backup before installing TWRP something went wrong and I've not been able to revert back to stock to upgrade to kitkat
How can I do that?

there's no need to take the ota because the fxz is available:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
download the vzw 4.4 file and flash with either moto fastboot or rsd lite. please don't ask how to do this, there are many tutorials available.
btw, you can flash all partitions if you want, but really need to flash only boot, system, and radio (NON-HLOS.bin).
Thanks!

Should I update? (verizon)

Hey guys. I just got this mobile (verizon) a week ago. Its not a Dev edition.
It keeps prompting me to update to lollipop but I wanted to unlock its bootloader first. Since everyone has been telling me that its impossible, should I wait in case a procedure comes up or should I update it to lollipop?
Yes.
What firmware version are you on now? Anything below 4.4.4 can be unlocked.

If you're talking about system version its 212.166.4. But its currently at 4.4.4
