A guy sold me an ATT Moto X and he neglected to tell me it was rooted. So now I'm stuck with root that I don't really want on this phone. I tried using RSD Lite and the All in One Tool that was posted on here but nothing would work with my computer. So, now im just looking for a stock rom I could flash but I can't seem to find any on here for ATT. Any recomendations to fix this? Lastly, would flashing the 4.4 leak that was posted in the General section work? any help is appreciated.

As long as you are on 4.2.2 you should be able to rsd lite back to the most latest 4.2.2 firmware.
Either way, you can flash the 4.4 leak with fast boot
Moto X rocking 4.4

you probably are doing something wrong with flashing the stock FW. check the threads that talk about it and you should be fine. If you are running mac then there is a thread for that. if not then there is a thread for that as well. post in those threads with questions and you will get answers. i wouldn't take th 4.4 leak because you don't seem like you want to toy with your phone. It's possible that those people that took that leak might have to do a little or perhaps a lot of things to eventually take the real OTA. This has happened with other phones. You don't seem like you want to do that much tweaking so just go to those threads and ask questions there and explain what exactly you are doing and the errors you are getting.

yeah i think ill give that a go again I guess. I used to be into rooting back when I had an S4 but it eventually just became to much of an issue everytime i wanted to install a new rom so I like to stick with stock. Thanks both of you I'll try again once Im home in a few minutes
So far it seems like the only way to even get Android 4.4 kitkat on a Sprint Moto X is to return to stock and have the OTA update. Moto X period on any carrier hasn't had much as of custom rom's thus far. I'm already rooted on 4.2.2 and would prefer waiting on a rooted custom kitkat rom to make the update process easier. Please let me know if there is such a Rom in the works.
Thanks.

Hi,
i lost my all data and backup STOCK ROM, then is was trying to unroot using RSD lite it shows error i.e Downgrade Security reason error.
can any one post stock for my moto x 1052 Retail EU versions 4.4.4.
:crying:
Thanks

I'm not sure that the files have been released for manual flashing yet.
Can you be more specific on the current state of your device... It's wiped and unusable? What have you tried flashing exactly? Did you try to flash an older version of android?
And what All have you tried to do.
And what version were you on before all this?
And how were you rooted exactly?
Just trying to see the whole picture here. Need all this info to really help... Hopefully.
At this point, you may be waiting until the files are out for flashing.... Unless your answers to these questions change something. ?

I suggest you not do anything else until you've researched this a bit more.
No, you can't downgrade safely. You could brick your device trying, or later by taking an OTA.
I don't, and many others, ever suggest downgrading. It's very dangerous and has left many with serious problems, or even unusable devices.
That said. Why are you trying to unroot exactly?
Also... You can only flash the 4.4.4 files now. They probably aren't available yet so you will need to be patient. If CM is working for you now, that's great.... But you may be stuck like that until the SBF files are out for 4.4.4....then you can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
I don't see you have any other safe options.

There's only one cm rom in the development section. And unless there's been a recent change, it's been discontinued, and has bugs. ?

How many phones have you bricked? I'm sorry, but I remember many of your posts with big problems in the past. You seem to ignore most advice. No offense intended.... But it's true.
Cause this one will brick if you ever take an ota. Practically guaranteed.
Hope you realize that? ?
Also.... Everyone gets lucky occasionally.... But the X section is filled with threads from people who didn't get lucky.
So please never recommend anyone try it. You don't want to be responsible for them being unlucky and destroying their toy. Right? ?

i don t recommend it like we speak in another thread.
i just tell that this is possible.
i bricked the device for others reasons and not for downgrade.
but like u say if the people don t know how to do it or what s the risk to do it : DON T DOWNGRADE.

You have a fitting user name. ?
Seriously, with some people not knowing what they are doing... And with communication misunderstandings due to language barriers and what not...
If someone asks you can they safely downgrade.... Just say no. ?
Cause it's never safe. You're adventure isn't necessarily over either.... If you take an ota accidentally or on purpose... You might be phone shopping. ?
That's all I'll say on that.

Dude you've made 3 different threads for the same question.
Not done.
People will reply if they want to.
If you don't get an answer do some research.
Pestering everyone won't get you anywhere

Still doesn't justify posting the same thing 5 times
******SOLVED******** I got my question answered by @KidJoe Thanks to you sir... Once the bootloader is unlocked it cant get locked again untill or unless we perform the "Oem Lock" Process ... So in any way the bootloader cant get locked again what so ever... And please dont flash the rom of any other carrier rather than your own carrier its a risk.. I Have a rogers X and i will flash the rogers 4.4.4 firmware... Flashing any other carrier's rom is risky even if you are bootloader unlocked... That pretty much solves my question that i asked earlier... and yes i was going to flash the Tmo firmware on my X but i heard that it is risk to do so that's why i stopped and im letting everyone know what the deal is in details.. That pretty much sums it all up...
