[Completed] [Q] Moto X 4.4.2 rooted w/ locked bootloader, factory reset safe?

Hi, I have a republic wireless moto x I just successfully rooted and updated to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader with no write protection (wp)
Since I updated it to 4.4.2 I have this error that pops up that I can not resolve
"Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.process.system has stopped"
I googled several pages of several website results and several pages of google but can not find the solution.
Solutions found was to:
Safe Mode (I tried this first with no apps installed on non safemode and non system apps updated, didn't work and popped up even on safe mode)
Change date & time method (didn't work)
Wipe Cache (didn't work)
Wipe Cache & dalvik cache (didn't work)
I am debating about factory reset but unsure if it will make me lose my root because I have a locked bootloader (if that matters in anyway I am still new to this, and that my moto x is from republic wireless not like other carriers with unlocked bootloaders).
Please help me and discuss with me how I can get rid of that error. Or point me to the right path.

Do you have a Custom Recovery Installed ? If not, then that would be your first Step. There's a Moto X Link in my signature that will help you install one. Once that is done, you can do factory reset from inside the Recovery. But before you boot, make sure to flash SuperUser Zip File from the Recovery.

Hello. Not sure how to answer this because I am still new to it.
I have the SafeStrap App, it says "State: Installed" above Install Recovery / Uninstall Recovery & "Safe System: Not Active" over Reboot to Recovery" version 3.65.
I do have a SafeStrap (TWRP) and have a backup but not sure if it is on 4.2.2 or 4.4.2.
If I did a recovery, which parts will it back up or all of it? Because I don't want that error to show up. It is driving me nuts.
Can you further assist me with what I replied before I do that recovery?

I see that you have already Opened another Thread on the Moto X forum.

[Completed] Arnova 10cG3 softbricked, dont know how to recover

I have been searching for answer over 10 days, but still can't figure out how to resolve this. I don't how exactly it bricked, it just couldn't start anymore. I can get into recovery menu, but there isn't any option to recover android. It was rooted before, and worked normally. I cant find any other way to flash any rom on it. I appreciate any help on this matter, tnx in advance!

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist!
Please register for an account so you can post to the rest oif the site. The [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread of the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting will provide a good start to resolve your issue.
What seems confusing is that there may be some Arnova's made by Archos. Archos has a forum, but sadly, Arnova does not (not finding much about your device either).
At any rate, try the thread/forum above, and be patient with regard to a response. This seems to be a rare device, so it would be harder to get the attention you need.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

The other way
I understood that the complete system is wiped out. I can use adb while its in recovery menu. I used it to transfer official system image onto it, but in its options i cant find it. I transferred it to multiple locations, all of them can be seen in recovery menu but all are empty. I wonder if there is a way to flash some other android version on it? Or some ROM like CWM, but apparently there are no official releases. And since i am not very good at this i wonder how to make sure that kernel is OK? Can such thing be done? It has Android system recovery <3e>

CWM is a recovery, not a ROM, but can be used to flash ROMs.
With 3e, you should be able to flash the stock ROM for the device via adb (called side loading). So that may work for you.
Hope this helps.

[Completed] Update to my phone

There is a new update to my phone, but when I install that update it says
Assert failed: apply patch check
("/custpack/build.prop", and some long he a decimal number
Update.zip isn't correct
Installation aborted
... My device is Alcatel one touch pop c 5 5036d
It was rooted but I did unroot
Please help

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
When applying a stock update on a rooted device, you not only unroot the device and remove superuser/SuperSU, you have to revert back to an unmodified system partition, this includes removing Xposed and its modules,,any themeing apps that modify system, font apps that modify system, must also be restored to having stock recovery instead of custom.
Basically the device has to be put back to completely stock ROM and recovery with no root or any modifications of any kind.
Then you do the update.

[Completed] cubot x17 custom ROM help. ( stock ROM is full of bloatware/malware)

Hello all
I don't want to be that guy that makes one post and runs for the hills I actually want to be part of the community, unfortunately this current situation is driving me nuts, to the point where I just have to post.
You see I own a cubit x17 that features quite a lot of bloatware and malware that needs removing.
I have rooted my device using kingroot and even gone as far as to install TWRP. I have downloaded a custom ROM for my phone that is saved in my downloads.
The problem is I just can't figure out how to install it...... I've tried everything from using TWRP to manual booting (there's not a single install option on the manual boot screen) and as far as I know no SD card in the phone and I cant seem to find the download folder from the boot screen.
Please can somebody help before I pull the remaining hair I have left out.

Hello and thanks for using XDA Assist,
Your device does not have a device specific forum here on XDA, Please create a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. Experts there should be able to help you.
Always read carefully before proceeding.
Good luck,
