I want restore my Moto X back to out of the box state.
I am currently rooted but I still have stock recovery, no twrp installed.
Mine is the UK GB firmware & I would like to flash it back the RSD Motorola tool but I am having trouble finding the Firmware.
I'm not sure if this would the correct firmware to use... http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=37
Any ideas?

Yeah that's the one I'm downloading.
Just a bit cautious cause it doesn't have the GB in the name.
Did you flash it? Did it work? Any problems?

No I didn't.
I was thinking of just unrooting with SU. I rooted with pure2014sb but I'm not sure if that's altered my stock recovery?
Like I said I haven't installed TWRP or CWM.
I rooted with the same method as you.
I will keep reading up and post in here what I end up doing.

Does this rooting method alter the stock recovery?
To answer my own question - NO it doesn't. I have booted in to stock recovery.

Afaik the rooting method we used didn't alter the stock recovery. Technically we didn't flash anything we booted a IMG which rooted the phone for us.
I am not sure what you mean about the Android laid on his back. I don't recall seeing that when I did it.
Did you try rooting and it didn't work?

Hi All,
I just got a new X yesterday and it's running 4.2.2. I heard there's a root method for 4.4 so I'm wondering if it's better to root now, then flash a stock 4.4 ROM or take the OTA to 4.4 and then root?

Thanks for putting that together dray; I had one question about installing TWRP. It seems like this is the case based on the instructions, but I wanted to be sure, is it OK to install the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img even though I am running 4.2.2?
I have my bootloader unlocked already (VZW DE and gone through that process via adb) and have been trying to figure out which custom recovery to flash.
TIA

Yeah, as dray_jr mentioned, after you flash it, you have to select recovery rather than rebooting.
This video also helped me (youtube.com/watch?v=sw675ipX-ds) (I don't have enough posts to hyperlink).
I actually followed the video but dray's instructions are the same process.
Can someone provide me the stock recovery image for 4.4.4 xt1052 asia retail unit?
I have the factory image of UK Retail downloaded and wonder whether it's recovery would work on my Asia Retail phone for Future OTAs.
Someone kindly answer that.
If you have the 4.4.4 fxz/sbf for your XT1052, flash boot and system images to go back to stock kernel.
The thing is that I've factory image for Retail UK unit and I've a Asia retail unit. And there's no factory image available for Asia retail as of now.
Would the recovery from retail UK image work on my moto X?
Bump?

Once a phone is on 4.4.4, downgrading to 4.4.3 or lower will usually result in a brick (there are enough threads and posts about downgrading attempts already)
So I wouldn't suggest that without also including a warning that it could brick.
Before you post that the XT1052 is an exception Please start reading the discussion at Post #192 through post # 230. OR read this one example I found via a quick search -> http://besttopics.net/link/100397_q-can-t-boot-into-system-is-it-bricked or this one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/hardbrick-moto-x-sign-life-t2627499

Updating from 5.0 to 5.0.1 I got a message that said "error" during the reboot and install phase. I had to manually shut down the phone and reboot. After the reboot, I noticed that there was no update available and my phone is still on 5.0. I've only unlocked the bootloader and does with CF. No custom recovery or rom.

You used CF so if you rooted it wont work.
As stated in the other threads, you cannot update if you have root. You need to unroot. The update notification will eventually pop up again,

Same issue - any change to the kernel or system files is going to cause this issue. You need to be completely stock (having the bootloader unlocked is not an issue)

You need to get stock before taking any OTA (bootloader being unlocked doesn't cause any issues with update). You can either download factory images for 5.0 and flash those (skip userdata.img if you don't want to lose data), and then take OTA, OR, do it the easier way - download factory images for 5.0.1 and flash those (skip userdata.img to avoid losing data)

Yes it will wipe your phone just like it came from the factory, so backup anything important to your PC.
Yes there a HK RUU's and non HK RUU's in the thread I linked.
You can download the RUU directly from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
It is located at the bottom of the page. But you might want to wait a few days and download the Lollipop RUU when it releases. It will replace the current KK version once approved and FOTA is pushed out.

Here are some things to try.
Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Try a different USB port (USB2 work best)
Try a different PC.
To get back to bootloader press power vol up until the screen turns black then hold vol down.
If you know how to use adb/fastboot commands you can open a cmd and type
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I was currently running 6.0 update when I flashed twrp 2.8.7.1. This was successful and was able to boot into recovery but when I was rebooting through twrp it asked me to install superuser since I was not rooted so I said yes. After the phone rebooted I was stuck at "warning bootloader unlocked". In an attempt to fix this I tried going back to stock so I flashed stock recovery and image from 5.1 with the same results. So not sure if I put myself in a worse spot or not by trying to flash back to 5.1 or not. I can still get into fastboot but not sure what else to try at this point. Any help would be great at this point.
You need specific kernel to flash superSU.
Suggestion : flash stock 5.1
