Verizon: 212.166.3.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US Emergency Dialing Maintenance Release

Please help! I'm stuck in a bit of a bootloop. I have a rooted Dev Ed Moto X 2013 with TWRP recovery. I told the system update to go ahead and install (after reading somewhere that I wouldn't lose root) and it sent me to TWRP recovery screen. So I choose the "install" button in TWRP and it sends me to a directory of my /sdcard. But from there I can't seem to find the 212.166.3 update zip file to install. Where is it? Being unable to find it, I decide just to reboot instead and eventually it takes me back to desktop, but only for a minute or two and then it reboots me back into TWRP recovery again. Please tell me what to do. I do have a backup, but I'd rather not revert to that if I don't have to, and I'm not sure that would solve the problem anyway. I'd rather just install the update file, but I don't know where to locate it. Thanks for your help!
Ota updates should not be flashed when on custom recovery and/or rooted. Reverting to your backup is likely the only choice.

Try clearing cache in twrp recovery to get rid of the reboot issue. You'll need to flash stock recovery in order to successfully use the ota update file and make sure your system is stock (no modification like ad block installed or xposed). After updating just reflash twrp and hit reboot and it should ask to install super su again and you'll be good to go. You will always have root with an unlocked bootloader

Overnight, the problem eventually fixed itself. I woke up to a "Update Unsuccessful" message. But I went ahead and cleared cache anyway just to be sure. Everything seems normal again. Thanks.
 
I am rooted and running KitKat 4.4.4 with TWRP. I have System Version 212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US. I have Xposed Module installed with NotifyClean.

Can someone PLEASE give me detailed instructions on how to stop the latest Verizon update notification? NotifyClean doesn't seem to recognize it when it takes over my screen every morning. I've read different threads here, but nothing I've tried seems to work, or I'm just not understanding. So please walk me through it! I've read posts about using Titanium to freeze "SDW" but those seem to apply to Galaxy Note only. My Moto X doesn't have an "SDW" app to freeze.

As you can see from my earlier posts, I even tried just installing the update, but that sent me into bootloops because I'm running TWRP recovery. Clearing cache stopped the bootloops but then the update notices returned. Seems to me that if I'm rooted there must be a simple way to stop those update notices. If you know what to do, please tell me. THANKS.

Or in the alternative, where can I find the VZW Dev Ed Kitkat 4.4.4 stock recovery .img so that I can temporarily ditch TWRP and accept that update? Otherwise it seems I'm stuck with getting this dang System Update notication every day! If anyone here with a rooted Dev Ed has figured another way out of this mess, please advise. Thank you.

Still getting the VZW update notice every night. Still haven't figured out how kill it. So every night I just delay it for another 24 hours.
 
I have the stock recovery but since i have never posted on this site i don't think it'll let me post a link....
