Has anyone seen any mention of modem/TZ/RPM packages so those of us still on AOSP, can flash those and new ROMs and kernels built with new sources when available? Rather than having to go back to stock, update to KK, then pushing the JB aboot to get custom recovery back.

Depends on whether or not people can figure out a way to put a recovery on 4.4. As it stands right now, there is an issue with Loki and 4.4.
If no one can, then they are going to have to make the new 4.4 builds compatible with the 12b aboot just like roms needed patched for 12b when it first came out.

We need SS to have the ability to flash Roms. It doesn't do any good to have developed any Roms of there is no way for locked users to load them. Having SS is the first step in the right direction.
Sent from non rooted motoX :'(
SS allows me to run a rooted copy of the latest AT&T update (.54), and I can still flash back to the original firmware (.51) if I wanted to start over.
Totally new to the G2. I previously had a Galaxy S4. I have the 24A build. Rooted with TWRP v2.7.0.0 I was able to install beanstalk and Resurrection but not carbon or pacman (boot loops). Is there some kind of patch I need to flash with certain roms? I did some searching but with my grandson tugging on my arm all the time it is difficult at best finding time to research.

Because your bootstack is 24A, you can only run roms that are using the 24A source code underneath. That would be any stock based KK rom. There is a Carbon beta in the thread that will work also, you just can't use the nightlies until they are updated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52376271&postcount=444
Most of the AOSP based roms are using the drivers/kernel from the older JB source that was available at the time, to go back to one of them, you need to downgrade your bootstack on your phone to 12B.
The devs should start moving all their roms to use the 24A/KK source now that is available, it will just take some time.

Thanks! So after flashing most AOSP roms I then flash the full 12B bootstack, then GAPPS?
If you don't mind me asking, how did you flash TWRP. That's my next step. I rooted last night.

AutoRec - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
The 24A release patched the exploit used to install a recovery, you need to downgrade your aboot back to 12B so it can be flashed, AutoRec does it all automatically for you. Just grab the vs980 version from that thread.

One more stupid question, what gapps do I use after downgrading, I tied running this apk, going straight to recovery from there, installing carbon, kk gapps and still bootlooped.

I believe I used Banks gapps. Which Carbon are you installing? The nightlies won't work if you're at 24A.

I did get it install running the downgrade zip and also the pacman rom but i had issues when also installing gapps (worked fine without) but one of them didn't have data. Do you have any idea where the notification and status bar icons are located either within the roms before they are installed or after? I would like to change them.

Sorry no I don't.
I couple months ago i got my Atrix HD rooted and the guy said all i have to do now is download the roms and flash them. He gave me the procedure which i follow to the neck and it has worked. Now the problem i have is that im trying to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.4 (kitkat) but all the custom ROMS fail, i tried the same with a PAC 4.3 rom which worked partially as the apps kept malfunctioning ("blame tyler XYZ has stopped working"). Is it because im using CWM instead of TWRP and if not someone please tell me what am i missing. i really want a stable 4.4 ROM :crying:
Which ROM are you trying to flash? You might be flashing the nightlies after 06/30. After that date, cyanogenmod and others started using the KitKat bootloader for the unified msm8690 builds, the processor architecture that a lot of moto phones share. Unfortunately, the atrix HD hasn't been officially upgraded to KitKat yet from Motorola. Our atrix HD uses the jelly bean bootloader.
So since 6/30, when they switched to the KitKat bootloader, we haven't been able to flash nightlies (with exceptions in AOSB and some CM and CarbonROM builds).
Try flashing a KitKat rom built before 6/30, then get back to us. It should work if you're using cwm, since I'm using cwm 6.0.4.4 and it works fine.
If you flashed the latest cwm that could cause problems too, since I read its also running off the KitKat bootloader.

CWM works well on the Atrix HD so I would stick with that.
Why not start over by flashing back to stock ATT 4.1.1, take the OTA update, flash CWM in fastboot, and flash a custom KK ROM?

Not a bad idea. Takes time but not much. Try team gummy for 4.4.2 ROM here, make sure you download the M2.0 release, because the M3.0 is KitKat bootloader. Its my daily driver cuz it's light and has pie controls. http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Gummy/moto_msm8960/RELEASE/
99% of the ROMs i've installed haven't worked....I got AOSB to work once....but its not working at all now...I got PXS to boot but kept having FCs.....now nothing gets past the boot logo

FYI, as of a few days ago, CyanogenMod started officially supporting devices still on the JB bootloader (which includes the Atrix HD). See here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960_jbbl
It's what I'm running, and it's great.
Also, if you're having trouble flashing, try using Philz recovery version 6.43.8 (not any later versions). Not sure if CWM supports some of these ROMs or not.

Yes, but I was just trying to say that I know that version of Philz is up to date, and works with KitKat roms. Not sure what version of CWM you were using, or where the support falls. Just a suggestion if you were having issues.

I am using the 6.0.4.4 version directly from the Clockworkmod website. I have been using it to flash the latest ROMs with no issues at all. Backup, restore, formatting, etc. work fine in the non-Philz version.
I must admit that Philz is convenient because it automates a lot of functions.

OK - I'm actually in the exact same situation as RBarnett09 - my Samsung GS3 just died - and I'm researching my replacement options. If I get a new LG G2 and it's already got vzw's "latest & greatest" firmware, I can still get root and/or unlock it to the point that I can I run CM11?
With the vzw GS3, the last couple of vzw OTAs locked things down too tight for AOSP (I avoided that crap but my hardware finally died).
Anyway, I just viewed a thread in the LG G2 dev section about setting up to run an LG 4.4.2 kernel binary on an unofficial CM11 build, but it doesn't say explicitly whether or not you're SOL if your phone is "current" from VZW's point of view. I gather that the factory KitKat release from LG is close enough to AOSP that the kernel will support custom (AOSP-based) ROMs (is that it?).
Are we better off finding a used LG G2, and if so, what version and date of firmware sucks the least? Thanks.

Latest firmware is 24A - KitKat, it can be rooted and recovery installed using the method posted. Most of the AOSP roms work with that firmware and contain working kernels. A couple still only work with the JB firmware.
