Ahhh, thank you. How do I access the TWRP Nandroid backup? I did a backup from TWRP but it did not say if it was Nandroid or not...
What are you on 4.4.2? It looks like the factory images are still 4.4 but they should be releasing the 4.4.2 image soon, but no worries, there are sbf firmware files already posted if you are on 4.4.2.Is the Factory Image from Motorola different then the Factory Restore I just did? I am not sure how to tell.
the nandroid b/u are found in /sdcard/TWRP/backups. I put mine in google drive so if I wipe the /sdcard, I can still grab them from the cloud.Ahhh, thank you. How do I access the TWRP Nandroid backup? I did a backup from TWRP but it did not say if it was Nandroid or not...

I am using 4.4.2 Thanks a lot for all the help. I feel like a dummy asking all these questions, but here it goes...When I choose backup from the TWRP in Recovery I only see system boot data and cache. No EFS option. Is that something that will only appear once it is needed and created? Also, how would I get the backup from the Android to my macbook? Finally, do I need TWRP and Nandroid apps actually installed on the Android desktop?
The Moto X is not officially supported by TWRP. The dev Hashcode modified TWRP for the Moto X.When I choose backup from the TWRP in Recovery I only see system boot data and cache. No EFS option.
I downloaded the free Root Browser by Jrummy from the playstore. Then when I open Google Drive, I hit upload. Root Browser is an option to use to upload. Nandroids are in /sdcard/TWRP/Backups and the EFS is in /sdcard/EFS_Backup.Also, how would I get the backup from the Android to my macbook?
TWRP is a custom recovery that you get into by booting into recovery.Finally, do I need TWRP and Nandroid apps actually installed on the Android desktop?
Excellent. I'm working on the ota update that takes it to 4.4.2 I believe.
Install Xposed framework, Moto Tether Module and Gravity Box and you will have even more options!Having so many options is a little daunting
The OTA script has a manifest in it that it compares to your system and recovery and if you aren't on stock recovery and stock system, it won't install.Well I used moto X toolkit for the Mac but I linked in one of my post above. It allowed me to reload the stock recovery and then take the over the air flash. Prior to figuring that out, the phone kept rebooting into TWRP.
It very much feels like the Wild West coming from Apple. Its so fun and dangerous lol. Funny you should mention the Tether Module...I am able to tether without installing any apps...just from the settings menu. I dont know if it would still be better to use the Moto Tether Module or not? After todays exercises though I think I will take a break for a while. My wife isnt too impressed with it yet though. We communicate a lot via text and as of right now, iMessage isnt working. It still thinks I have an iphone. I did call Apple and gave them the bad news. They removed my phone number from the servers, but said it might take a while.Install Xposed framework, Moto Tether Module and Gravity Box and you will have even more options!
But yes, it is overwhelming to leave the walled garden and enter the wild, wild west!
I just realized you are on ATT. I am on Verizon with unlimited data. So I need the moto tether module to tether. I don't know how ATT works.I am able to tether without installing any apps...just from the settings menu.
Apple can do it right away. You may have to call again to get them to take your phone number out of their imessage database. That has nothing at all to do with android. It is entirely an apple problem.We communicate a lot via text and as of right now, iMessage isnt working. It still thinks I have an iphone. I did call Apple and gave them the bad news.

Again, an apple problem created by apple, solvable by apple. Nothing to do with android.Well, I called them last night and they said the number was taken out of their system. It would be only 2 hours, but could take up to 24 for it to fully work. It has been 24 hours and still having problems. I'll give it another day and see if that helps. I know others have had similar problems....other then that I am making my way around Android very well!
