How to get MSL/SPC?

Maybe flash a 4.4.2 ROM with twrp. I wouldn't dare do that until the entire 4.4.4 sbf is released. Otherwise that isn't safe.
Don't dare downgrade to the 4.4.2 sbf or you will very likely brick.
Hopefully the sbf is released soon, and you can safely flash a twrp 4.4.2 ROM. ONLY FROM TWRP. Otherwise not safe.
Again, please wait until the full 4.4.4 sprint sbf is released, otherwise you might not be able to return to stock.
What if a Sprint Moto X out the box came with 4.2.2, was bootloader unlocked via Motorola, TWRP'ed, rooted and then a nandroid was made of the stock 4.2.2. Then 4.4.4 was flashed via TWRP, and now the Moto X is on 4.4.4. I keep seeing calamitous warnings about not downgrading to 4.4.2 specifically else you brick your device. Would the same warning apply to attempting to restore back to the 4.2.2 backup, just out of curiosity?
The problem is with gpt.bin (the partition table) and motoboot.img (the bootloader). Neither of those are downwardly. So if you ever took an ota, you updated both of them. This causes problems both ways: if your android version doesn't match the BL or partition table you are at extreme risk of a brick. Sometimes it happens immediately and sometimes it happens after one or two otas.
Always best to use caution.
Twrp flashing is safe because it doesn't touch either! Twrp backups only flash system and boot.
The warnings apply to ANY version unless twrp is used.
Good stuff, as always.
Thing is i never took an OTA. Went straight from 4.2.2 to 4.4.4 by just flashing the entire KitKat 4.4.4 stock ROM System Version: 212.44.28 found here... http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/roms-stock-roms-t2499594
Did you flash the ROM or the firmware? If you flashed the ROM from twrp, you are totally safe to flash down to 4.4.2, read the msl and then flash back to 4.4.4.
If you flashed the FIRMWARE you updated the BL and partition table and you risk bricking.
Don't think there was a separate firmware, just the ROM only. (I did have to fastboot NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn manually though).
Anyway, not trying to push my luck here so i'll just stay put, but i was just curious.
You are correct, the firmware for 4.4.4 isn't available yet. The NON-HLOS and fsg are the modem. You should be completely safe. Use caution none the less.
Good luck
There is no known way. There might never be a way. (to get SPC once on 4.4.4, that is....)
