Background information:
Bought the AT&T version when it came out right away
Got root the first time it was released
Updated root when next update came out ( Didn't know if I need to )
OTA has been Frozen since I got the phone
Is it safe for me? Should I go back to the first version and then update?
Trust me I've read the posts and since I know there have been some issues on the Verizon side I wasn't sure if that was something that was effecting AT&T too. If some one could please give me an explain of that to it would be extremely helpful as I like to know my **** so I can help others.
Thanks

Flash back to stock via RSDLite. Let it boot up. Get your gmail setup.
When the prompt comes up, DL the .54 update. Install.
Root with jcase's new root method.
Or you could just install safestrap. Install a ROM with the camera update and not worry about it until kitkat comes around.

I'm not really interested in updating to another Rom unless it has the touchless controls or something really interesting. Touchless Controls is one of the main reasons I got this phone next to battery life.
Is Safestrap finally settled down? I feel like last time I check there were still messages about bugs and other issues?

the only rom out for SS that i am aware of is just a ported tmobile rom for vzw phones that has the update built in. Basically it is just the OTA stock rom running on SS. This is what I am using currently. Not sure if it flashable for ATT phones, but I'm sure there is some workaround there. Or maybe the OP on that thread can make a ATT one if you asked him. SS is stable as of now. Haven't had any new updates to it because no one is having any problems currently (at least with moto x devices).
For your question pertaining to options for taking the OTA. There are 4 methods now.
1. SS method described above
2. use the thread called something like "keep root through the OTA." It basically takes the ota without updating the BL so you can still downgrade to your stock original FW that you are on now. It's the same thing as the SS method because SS also does not udpate the BL, but you won't be using SS for this method obviously.
3. you can flash recovery.img (and system.img if you need to) or just RSD, then install pwnmymoto without running it, then take the ota and pwnmymoto will root the phone automatically after the ota is taken. you won't be able to downgrade your FW anymore with this method.
4. you can just take the ota (also must flash or use rsd to take it obviously) and then use jcase's rockmymoto root exploit. This uses adb commands and telnet stuff. Not too difficult but if you are unfamiliar with all of that then it will take at least some reading. There is also a thread out there for windows users that simplifies it pretty well.
For future Kit kat root. it is still up in the air what will happen with that. I chose to use SS because it was easy. quick. and allows me to make nandroids. I also like knowing that I can still flash to original stock FW in case that might be necessarry for getting root on kit kat. This seems less likely now that jcase created a root method for the OTA that is out, but I'm still just playing it safe personally, even if it might be pointless now.
Does new phone come with JB? If so should I stay with it and not to accept OTA?
It seems that Kitkat update introduced several issues (problem with email syncing, bluetooth incompatibility wit some cars, etc). Is there anything else? I am fine with not having the latest and greatest.
Also: is it possible to downgrade Moto X DE (GSM) back to JB? I am not 100% sure from reading this forum.
The kit Kat update had issues but nothing on the scale of the Samsung galaxy family's 4.3 update. I haven't noticed any issue on mine nor any on customers. Totally worth upgrading it.

The only issue I am having with mine is that while it says its connected to web (either lte or wifi) it won't actually connect. A reboot fixes the issue until it comes back.

Did you have this issue while on JB?
Dont know as mine came with 4.4 which did not have this weird issue. It may be something I installed so a wipe may be in order.

The only issue I had was Google maps not showing my direct location with high accuracy on. It was hard for me to distinguish if I needed to go right or left then it has a hard time rerouting. Which pissed my wife off lol.

Mine arrived with 4.2.2 installed, (2 weeks ago) and it took two updates to get to 4.4, 1'st 4.2.2 then 4.4. No regrets on the update for me, but then again I let the updates fly when I turned on the phone.

let me make this blunt before you even get your phone
your phone is a DE so you can root any version
is you come with 4.2.2 camera update or 4.4 you can upgrade and downgrade between thouse two versions only
if your phone comes with 4.4.2 you can not downgrade at all so just root it and enjoy because most people are trying to get there and bricking there phones half the time.
if you have any other question please post or PM me

That makes it very clear. But can you elaborate on why downgrade from 4.4.2 is not possible? I currently use rooted Droid Incredible on Verizon with CM 7.1 and if I am not mistaken I can flash pretty much any previous ROM I want (I really haven't tinkered with it for last couple of years, so I may be wrong).

My VZW Moto X DE is on its way to me, and I've spent a bunch of time on the forums yet still have the following questions and hope you can help. My current phone is an original Droid Incredible, which I rooted, mostly for recovery, backups, tethering, and system monitoring. This site was a great resource back when I did that and I greatly appreciated the information.
RE: the Moto X, I've read the steps for unlocking the bootloader and which paths for upgrading/downgrading are safe given the release shipped with the phone. That information was for the standard Moto X. If the DE is unlocked, can I just go straight to rooting the phone? If the OTA updates won't work with root, is it best to accept the latest OTA pushes once my phone is online and then root? I want to be clear about what I've gained by getting the DE edition. Why go back to 4.4.2 if it ships with a later release?
I have no plans in the near future for changing ROM's. I'd just like to initially install what I am using on the Incredible - the clockworkmod recovery app (or current equivalent), titanium backuip, and a good tethering program. I currently use android wifi tether.
Thanks for any help.

I have a dev ed and keep mine the same way you intend... What I've gleaned so far is that the each update includes a new bootloader version that cannot be downgraded, i.e. if you take 4.4.2 you cannot downgrade to 4.4. At this point the VZW version only has 4.4.
As far as getting the phone to how you want it after you take the upgrades the material in the following two links should get you right where you want to be...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2645343
He kind of muddied it up by adding other cleanup tools that I'm not interested in, if you're like me and only want the tether hack you will need to go to the 140.45.5 folder in his link and download xt1060-140.45.5-vzw-removal-s.zip He also has an undo zip that you might want to download and stash away just in case.
This part is speculative and potentially dangerous so take with a grain of salt and correct me if I'm wrong.
My understanding is that the big issue from the downgrade is that there will be a partition table mismatch if one takes an OTA upgrade and the phone will be bricked, though I can find nothing solid on this. Being that I plan on keeping a custom recovery I don't have to worry about accidentally taking an OTA and for some reason prefer to have the ability to downgrade, when 4.4.2 comes out I'm going to try to flash everything but the bootloader and I believe the partition table, (I need to read more and understand more before I speak with authority) to see if I can get away with it.
Also, on a side note, I found that freezing pre installed apps/bloat destroyed the wonderful battery life I was getting so I would suggest you keep your phone stock for a few days to get a feel for how the phone behaves before you begin freezing bloat.
Enjoy your new toy!

Thanks for that information. The last paragrapht seems counter-intuitive. I froze apps on the incredible so that it would reduce battery drain, why would freezing apps increase battery drain?

No idea, but freezing moto apps killed the battery. I haven't figured out what the culprit is yet as I'll be travelling this week and I don't want to jack up the phone while I'm on the road. I suspect another system app was spending effort looking for a missing app. Had I not ran my phone stock for a week I may have assumed that was just the phone as the high battery use was about the same as what I typically got on my S3. However, once I started freezing apps battery life went way down. Battery is good again after defrosting all Moto stuff that I assumed to be garbage. Once I get off the road I'll start freezing apps one at a time to see if I can isolate the culprit.
My thought is if you run it stock for a week you'll have a pretty good feel as to how the phone performs so you'll know whether your tweaks are helping or hurting you.

Yes, I am getting the Verizon DE. (VZW, 1st post).
After trying all the latest and greatest, I'm back on the Moto X. Problem is, it came with 4.2.2 on it and I can't get it to update. It continually tells me either "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later." or another generic "can't do this right now" message that I can't recreate at the moment.
I have the latest OTA .zip, but that takes it from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, so that won't do me much good yet. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this... Either via old OTA .zip files, or I *am* comfortable using rsdlite and "sbfing" (fxz now right?). I'd rather do it via the OTA zip files, but if I have to I can do the fxz/sbf method. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Edit: also, if I end up having to use the fxz/sbf method, I'm assuming there are no issues with doing that for an update, rather than downgrading which has occasionally caused issues in the past depending on the version.

You are completely correct. That (link) is the answer to your problem.
Just a quick update - using the link above and Samuri's tools, I got to 4.4.4 with no problems. I know if you're new to doing that stuff it can be a bit daunting, but if you read up on the thread above and the RSDFlasher thread he links to, it's pretty straightforward and does a lot of the work for you unlike the "old days".
We have a Moto X from Verizon. We built it with the Moto Maker and got it in December.
At that time, we immediately did whatever secret handshake to get root (something about downgrading). It's been humming along fine for the longest time. At one point, it appears, we took the OTA update and now root is gone. This has been the case for a while, and it hasn't been an issue. Now, the phone is trying to take the Android 4.4.4 upgrade, and the device keeps rebooting and displaying this error:
"Partition (recovery) security version downgraded"

We've done some research, and believe I have a path to recover. We don't care about root or custom recovery any longer, we just want a working Moto X.
Question: since I'm on 4.4.2 currently (build KXA20.16-1.25.2), I'm assuming I can use the 4.4.2 FKZ to return to stock?
Here's the thread I used to help me make this determination: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/bricked-attempting-4-4-to-4-4-2-ota-look-t2660441
Can someone validate that I'm going down the right path? Thanks in advance for all replies!

Use the FXZ that has been posted for your model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/fxz-moto-x-4-4-4-212-55-26-t2827307
It is the only safe way to upgrade now that you are receiving the error, which normally indicates that you attempted to downgrade.
If you use one of @SamuriHL 's tools, you can KEEP your data, just like you would if you used took the OTA.

Thanks for the reply, samwathegreat. After conducting a bit more research, I saw your name pop up a few times assisting people with a similar error.
So if I may ask a follow-on question, should I use the FXZ for 4.4.2, or can I do the 4.4.4 one? I'm currently on 4.4.2, receiving said error, while attempting to upgrade to 4.4.4.

You should definitely use the 4.4.4 FXZ from the link I provided you. If you do this, you will be on 4.4.4 running smoothly in no time at all...
Thank you, @samwathegreat! You had the fix:
1. Download the 4.4.4 FXZ from here, even though we were on 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/fxz-moto-x-4-4-4-212-55-26-t2827307
2. Follow the steps to use RSD flasher from @SamuriHL. Follow them to the T: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/48904-rsd-flasher-beta-windows-only/
Our Moto X is now running 4.4.4 stock. Thanks to @samwathegreat & @SamuriHL!

i'm in the same situation as yours, i know, it's annoying, i want to get lollipop on my pure edition moto x, i live in colorado if that's gonna help.
i had many chats with motorola about the update and they told me that the update is being sent in patches, seems that you and me are not lucky enough to be in the first patches that receive lollipop
i just hope we'll be getting the update soon.
i check for the update more than once day in hope of getting it but there is nothing
but at least you're not the only one suffering from this, you and me are in the same boat buddy
I don't understand how at&t and Verizon have gotten the ota 5.0 update yet the pure edition hasn't how is that possible?

you dont need root to sideload the update
you just need to either copy the update file to the internal storage
power off your phone, and go into bootloader/fastboot mode (power and volume down)
then go to recovery, select apply update from sdcard
or follow the same steps except copying the files, you choose apply update from sideload
connect your moto x to the computer via micro usb
and use this command in command prompt/terminal window
adb sideload <update-file.zip>
and the update should install successfully (must be unrooted)
We shouldn't have to side load anything. The update should have been on our phones long before the At&t or Verizon one. That was the whole point of the pure edition wasn't it, to get updates much faster OTA then the carrier branded Moto X? Apparently not. Had I known that it's not the case I would have just gotten the carrier branded one...

I understand the idea of ADB side loading, and the device doesn't need to be rooted in order to do this. It shouldn't be necessary.... I see several messages per week from people who have soft bricked their phones, or worse. Usually people Flashing updates from risky sources, or the wrong versions.
The OTA update from T-Mobile is being delayed for some reason, whether it'd be to fix bugs or some other reason. Why would I flash some preliminary version only to have to flash back to 4.4.5 to get the OTA update.. Something is wrong with this picture....
What have I missed? Android 5.0 was or has been rolling out on pure edition for 2 weeks now:
