Factory wipe data Rooted Moto X Developer Edition - Moto X Q&A

Hello Everyone,
This may be a stupid question.
I have a Rooted Moto X Developer Edition running 4.4 Kit Kat. Can I enter factory reset and data wipe my Moto X safely and with no repercussions besides a data wipe?
*Just in case I want to go back to stock*
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can wipe your data from the custom recovery just make sure you do not hit advanced wipe because that will wipe everything out on your phone.

Factory data wipe rooted?

I'm still a noob with samsung devices, I'm selling the tab for the 10.1 tomorrow and I need to get it wiped out. Can I factory wipe it while rooted? Or will that mess everything up? What steps should I take? Any tips are a big help. Thanx guys!

Returning to Stock

Hello guys
I have a stock Rom dev. Edition with root.
I'm having some issue and wanna go back to stock. I can keep root as once I do like a factory reset, I will root again
I tried the factory rest from settings but it doesbt work. So I was gonna do a wipe from recovery but was worried I would end up without any Rom.
Can some one tell me the way to do it?
Thanks.

you should be able to do a factory reset through recovery without problem. the rom will not be deleted as long as you don't format the sd card/system partition..

[Q] Any way for us on Verizon DE with TWRP to install the update?

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.

I would like to know about this too
Flash stock recovery via fastboot > reboot > download and flash OTA via stock recovery > reboot > flash twrp with fastboot > reboot/root > enjoy. If you have made any mods to your system you will probably want to rsd or fastboot completely back to stock.

I knew this method would work, was just hoping to avoid rsd'ing back to stock. I've got everything backed up, but its still annoying setting everything back up.
Did you read what I wrote? Unless you made changes to the system all you would need to do is flash the stock recovery. Your data will be intact.

I've made several changes, uninstalled several verizon bloatware apps, as well as moving others from system to user so I could greenify.

Then in addition to flashing stock recovery, flash the stock system.

Won't flashing stock system wipe data?

No. If you flash the data partition it will.

Thanks for the help, for some reason I was under the impression flashing system wiped your data as well. In the process of flashing now, everything is going smoothly after I updated my fastboot.exe since the default one I had said my system.img file was too large.
Be careful, flashing system and then updating will wipe root away, if not done properly

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.

It will factory reset?
If you're asking if anything will go wrong, the answer is no. You'll still keep root and the ROM, you'll just loose all your apps and settings.

Rooted, twrp, wipe for new owner

I sold one of my Nexus 6 devices and had a wipe question considering the new owner wants it rooted and unlocked already
I was on chroma 5/12, restored a stock nandroid. Now I want to wipe the device completely for the new owner.
Do I use twrp or stock factory data reset?
Thanks<
