Consider making a nandroid backup before you uninstall. You could re-install it later and restore to this point.

wouldn't it be better to keep safestrap? in the event of booting problem or whatnot you could boot in safestrap and flash your nandroid, whereas if you previously uninstalled safestrap so you can't flash a nandroid anymore... am I right?
Yeah thinking about it, I'd rather have safestrap on there anyway. I'll be giving this a shot later today hopefully, will report with personal results.
Edit: Well I got everything done without a problem, other than the little soft-brick from forgetting to remove any xposed frameworks, but after fixing that I had no trouble going from rooted wpnomo 4.4 to 4.4.2 while preserving my root and write access, was simple and successful 100%.

Can we please get a link for safestrap in the instructions? Also, are there any other 4.4.2 safestrap roms out or is this it? Does safestrap support roms like CM or are they forever incompatible for some reason?

Do you have to uninstall each package or just the main xposed app?

I believe you can just uninstall the main xposed framework.

Worked great and didn't have to wipe system and data! Thanks for putting this together!
Just did this flawlessly. I was rooted with Write Protection Off on 4.4. Upgraded successfully to 4.4.2, still have root and write protection off.
Thanks.
Thanks.

12Edit: The official ATT 4.4.2 sbf has been released, and this rom was built from that.
This CWM/TWRP flashable zip is from the sbf of 165.44.1.ghost_att.ATT.en.US (ATT xt1058). The modem and kernel are within the zip and must be flashed manually. The instructions below are mostly for rooted, locked ATT phones using safestrap.
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE.
Unlocked phones: You can flash the zip and manually flash boot.img, NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn.
ATT locked phones:
If you can still get root, then you can use safestrap to install this zip of ATT 4.4.2 /system and get root again. Also within the zip is the official ATT 4.4.2 boot.img, NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn (for fastboot). This zip does not alter your bootloader.
Prerequisite:
- Rooted Moto x
- Have fastboot (motorola version for this phone) and PC drivers installed and working
- BACKUP ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE. THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL WIPE YOUR USERDATA..
- root (thanks jcase)
- install safestrap (thanks Hashcode and Team Win)
- Make a nandroid and copy it off the phone!?
- download zip to sdcard (motox-442-165.44.1.ghost_att-ss.zip, link below)
- download supersu flashable to sdcard (link below, thanks Chainfire)
- extract boot.img, NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from the .zip to the fastboot directory of your PC
- enter safestrap recovery (twrp) and activate the stock-slot
- twrp: wipe/factory reset (WARNING. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR USERDATA. This step may be optional for some users.)
- twrp: flash rom (motox-442-165.44.1.ghost_att-ss.zip) to the stock-slot (be patient)
- twrp: immediately flash supersu .zip
- twrp: reboot to bootloader (home -> reboot -> bootloader)
- on pc: execute fastboot commands (below).
Fastboot commands: Note: If you use MotoWPNoMo, then you should skip "flash recovery"
Code:fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash recovery boot.img fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn fastboot erase modemst1 fastboot erase modemst2 fastboot erase cache

supersu: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (download "CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP")2I was running Android 4.4 already when doing this process. I skipped the step of wiping user data and followed the steps exactly. (I flashed SuperSU FIRST, then the ROM, then SuperSU again before rebooting to the bootloader. Maybe was unnecessary but wanted to be sure it got in there). I had no issues at all and when the bootloader commands were done I pressed the power to select reboot in the bootloader. Phone rebooted, optimized 327 apps, and I'm done. 4.4.2 running great with root and no loss of any data.
Major thumbs up for posting this!! Thank you and god bless XDA-developers!! This forum is invaluable!!!!
Oh I am on a locked bootloader by the way. AT&T locked but safestrap worked great.11
Kitkat 4.4 does not work in a rom slot. I am guessing 4.4.2 is the same.
