Everything works, thanks.
If you RSD back to 4.2.2 it will wipe your internal storage unfortunately or if you factory reset with the stock recovery. But if you use Safestrap then no it won't wipe your storage.So, if we're coming from 4.4--that would mean that our SD card area isn't wiped--correct? I don't know too much about how Safestrap is handled, as I'm only used to using Nexus phones, hehe.
Bad as in can't download it, or bad as in it won't install after you download it?Zip in first link is bad (tried to download twice). Had to download mirror to get a good one. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Bad zip - won't install. Safestrap says "unable to open zip file" and can't open in Windows either. Tried it twice. Trying other mirrors now, but so far all are failing. I'm stuck here. Can someone give me a link to good rom zip please?Bad as in can't download it, or bad as in it won't install after you download it?
Did you try both The first link and the drive mirror?Bad zip - won't install. Safestrap says "unable to open zip file" and can't open in Windows either. Tried it twice. Trying other mirrors now, but so far all are failing. I'm stuck here. Can someone give me a link to good rom zip please?
The drive mirror from the first page of this thread works. Thanks. It seems all the mirrors on AndroidFileHost.com are bad.Did you try both The first link and the drive mirror?

Mine took 10-15 minsHow long does it take to flash the ROM? I'm about 10 minutes in, still says 'flashing file 1 of 1'. Top status window says 'Formatting System'.
Thanks in advance.

You can attempt to install this without running MotoWpNoMo, but you will have flash the 4.4.2 kernel to the recovery partition. I wasn't able to on mine it threw a HAB error I figured it was the security check they put into place to prevent disabling write protection that way. So I bit the bullet and ran MotoWpNoMo so I could also keep the stock recovery.Hmm...I don't have write protect disabled. Guess maybe it's cause I never ran MotoWPNoMo. I'm not willing to run that, so I guess I'll just go back to 4.4. Oh well.
No just do a factory reset in safestrap then install the rom!Do you need to disable Xposed and any other hacks to run this? I looked through and didn't see anything about that.
First thing is the Safestrap app isn't included in the rom because once you have Safestrap recovery installed you don't need the app, second thing is Safestrap's splash screen will say disabled if you are booting on the stock slot. This is because Safestrap's original purpose was to create multiple virtual rom slots to flash roms to and not touching the stock partition, this creates a safe system in case something goes wrong you could always boot back to the stock slot. But on the Moto X there have been several issues with flashing roms to virtual slots, also most people on Verizon have limited space since we didn't get the 32gb version until after 3-4 months after release. So it will say disabled since this rom should be installed on the stock slot!So I followed these steps exactly and the results have been baffling. This may be a noob question but regardless I'm confused. I completed all the steps and I did the final reboot using Safestrap in recovery mode. Now Root Checker says I have root and my system about me confirms I am on 4.4.2 However when I look for the safestrap app it is no where to be found and I cannot confirm if I have read/write off. When I reboot the phone I can reboot into safestrap (although it displays an image that says safestrap is disabled) which further confuses me. Lastly when I reboot my phone now I get a message that quifckly flashes by that says something like "e: bitmap missing nonsafe" My questions are I have no idea what this means, should I be concerned since it just boots normally after that? And do I have read write protection off? How do I get safestrap as an app now?
Thanks!
