Rooted 4.2 and Killed Write Protection - Can I install Rom now??
- Thread starter mpetruzz
- Start date
Its not that simple because of the locked boot loader.
First of all why do you need a custom ROM on this phone? its vanilla android with a few good enhancements that you will lose with a custom ROM.
With a locked bootloader your only alternative is to use safestrap. The developer choose not to make a thread on xda. You will have to visit rootzwiki and find it. However, you should really understand the danger of having a locked bootloader and messing with safe strap and custom Roms. If something goes bad or you don't know what you're doing you might end up with a brick.
You should do a little more research before continuing. But now that you have root access xposed framework is really all you need. Combined with gravitybox there's no reason to mess with safestrap or custom Roms.

You need to have an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery and to flash a rom. All models should be unlockable except the AT&T and Verizon models. However, they do offer developer editions that are unlockable. If you have a device that can't be unlocked, you could try safestrap. Safestrap acts like a customer recovery by allowing you to flash roms made for safestrap to rom slots on your phone to while avoiding touching the primary system. You can also make backups and restore. If your bootloader is locked this would be your only option to flash roms.
i agree the Moto X is a great phone from factory.
Install Titanium Backup Pro and remove the bloat ware
then install Xposed Framework with Gravity Box for 4.4 and customize boom no reason to install custom rom's
I am rooted and stock. Does Xposed with GB keep you stock? Also, does the upcoming 4.4.2 update unroot you?
Yes. Its essentially just an app. So it works on the stock ROM , but allows you make custom ROM modifications to the stock ROM.
