I did all the fancy stuff no problem... went from CM11 to the official KK. Successfully installed the patched CWM from dhacker29 and installed root. I also was able to make a good backup in CWM.
Now - Moto's KitKat basically sucks and i want to go back. I'll be calling CyanogenMod tomorrow to apologize for cheating on them and beg forgiveness.
I've tried to flash the latest nightly CM11 and another unofficial build of CM11 and get stuck at the red M bootlogo. I can get back into CWM and restore the stock system just fine.
The question: are we not able to flash roms yet?
