I guess I'd also be interested in this, since I'm sick of seeing the update notification, but don't want to lose native tethering/root/gravitybox (if I can keep all three of those with 4.4.4, please help me figure out how, but it seems the write protection gets turned back on, so at the very least, I'd be losing xposed/gravitybox).
Haven't ever had Titanium backup installed or frozen anything, is it a free app? Or is there another way to do it?
Have to freeze Motorola OTA in titanium then in root browser go to the system cache and delete the OTA file.
I finally found them with the android tuner app from the app market and froze them

And I used ROM Toolbox and froze the Motorola OTA app/apk.
It has worked fine for me for the last three-four days.

I looked in system/cache when I was taking the update to 4.4.4 and did not see anything there... Now that I'm in 4.4.4 I don't even see a cache folder under system

My mistake. Its actually just under cache on the root of the device. Not under the system folder. But the file is auto deleted after updating

Have you guys seen this yet?
http://briefmobile.com/download-att-one-x-update-with-wifi-fix
It supposedly fixes the wifi issues, has anyone downloaded it? If so, have you noticed if any of the other reported issues are fixed?
I imagine this removes root, correct?
I imagine it would, but I guess that's up to you if the update is worth losing root.

look in the dev section we already have a download of it available, and it says root still works

what do you want to backup? most of it you can backup by transferring to a pc, or apps use titanium backup.
Has anyone tried this? Even though it says official, why would it be here and not through ATT or HTC?

Root, backup apps+apps data with titanium backup, flash RUU, re-root, restore apps+data!

Like someone asked previously does this still allow you to get ota updates?
and od you have an idea of improvments
I downloaded it last night and these are the things I noticed.
-I do have to note that I didn't have the wifi issue so I can't comment on that.
-The notification led bug still exists where you turn it off yet it still seems to blink.
-When I click on YouTube link it actually takes me to the YouTube app instead of the mobile page.
- I haven't noticed any difference in speed and performance. Seems the same to me.

I used HoM with obake maxx and when I get back to "stock" successfully according to HoM, my WIFI wont connect to anything and when I try to take the OTA update to 12.15.15, I bootloop shortly after rebooting.
I was able to resolve my issue somehow. I deleted the "set" rows above boot.img in the obake maxx xml file. I then ran HoM and it bootlooped. I then re-ran it with the full xml file and this time it took and worked great. I was then able to take the OTA and then root using rockmymoto and life seems to be great!
Thanks all for all the information!
Is there a way to do it? My phone automatically downloaded the software and asked me to install. I cancel of course, but phone ask when can it ask me again. I have to pick a time, cannot cancel or anything. so I pick 5pm tomorrow. Will this install at that time? Please help me stop the software update.

I don't believe so. You need root to rename System services or uninstall them, especially a service to stop polling for OTA. What you need to do is rename "sdm 1.0", which is a System app, to "sdm 1.0.bak" but I'm almost positive this wouldn't last through a reboot for you since you're stock. Try it and see but it should not work.

It'll install automatically if you keep deferring it and miss it once. Each OTA we've received has had that "feature" btw. Rooting and doing what I outlined in my last post is the long term solution.

I can't find sdm1.0 I can get t the sdm.apk in system but I'm not rooted I thought I would root with 4.3 when it was safe just got the phone from son had stock rooted droid charge
switch to one of the kitkat roms? i just went from tw dandroid to hellfire 4.4.2 performance is amazing
I have a rooted Verizon droid maxx. I am really worried about losing root if I take the ota. Is there any safe way to take the ota without losing my root? I've read like 2 posts of people saying the pro version of supersu and Survival mode keeps root. I've also read 1 post saying that they accidently took it and didn't lose root. Can anyone confirm this?
I would like to know the answer to this as well. I was just prompted for this update.
at that i know most users keep the root with Superuser in Survival mode
u can try and let us know

Considering that you cannot downgrade to a exploitable version of android if it doesn't work, I think I will pass.
Here is a guy that did it and said he keep root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52763259
I believe the one that did it accidentally had an unlocked boot loader which makes root possible no matter what.
I saw another post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52795898
Saying that the biggest part of the update was the radio which can be flashed without taking the whole upgrade if you are worried about it.
Me personally, my BL is unlocked and I'm going back to 4.2. I've seen nothing but negatives (bad battery life, FC's, etc) with the updates. I might would stick it out if there was some new features but they seem like just more of the same.
I used survival mode and took the ota and still have root. Unfortunately I lost my WiFi tether and am trying to get that back now.

You should use this

I have a droid mini XT 1030, stock with root and wifi apk hack.
I removed the wifi apk hack, put super su into survival mode and took the OTA. Worked out good and I retained root.

However, we've both lost TWRP recovery and can't seem to be able to flash it.

Bootloaders aren't unlocked.
Yep, all root functions seem to be working fine.RootChecker says I have root, I was able to install the latest version of Busybox, and TiBu and SecureSettings both get root access.
Now if somebody had some thoughts on flashing TWRP recovery...

Maybe I'm brain dead. I thought I had TWRP on these phones after SlapMyMoto, but I guess it retained the stock recovery.
Too many Android devlices... can't keep track of what's running what.
I thought the big issue was not retaining root, but completely losing the Write-Protection off ability (ie ability to use xposed). I'm locked bootloader and don't see a reason to unlock.

Currently on 4.4 (19.5.3) with root, wp disabled, and safestrap installed. Trying to install the 19.6.3 OTA but it fails at what looks like 25%. Any ideas?
This is essentially a stock setup with nothing installed that isn't part of the stock ROM. Nothing has been frozen or removed and I'm not using Safestraps pseudo-slots.
Appreciate any help I can get, thanks!

I would have to say that the presence of safestrap may be your issue. Maybe try removing safestrap. But keeping root and wp.
Safestrap recovery didn't make a difference in the update installing. Same hangup with it removed.
There seems to be a handful of us experiencing this problem.
Any other solutions would be much appreciated.

Did you get SuperSU Pro and use survival to update? That's what I did and didn't have a problem with updating.
