Im thinking about selling the atrix and i wouldnt like the buyer to see the 'unlocked' bootloader thing
Once unlocked, you cannot relock the bootloader.

I thought flashing back to stock ICS then taking the OTA would lock it?

Not sure if will lock it. But is a good idea as it will be the only solution
Unlocking the bootloader will blow the efuses in the phone. Once these efuses have been blown, it cannot be reversed.
Well i did it for the sakes of it just to learn before i read it. You can relock the bootloader yes. But the permanent battery will record it as relocked.
You can read about this new feature from motorola for rooting but same method for bootloader. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ndwich-builds-for-its-phones-purpose-unknown/
To relock it do it from fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" should re-lock the bootloader.

NOOO!!!!
To many folks have encountered an issue that soft-bricked their device afterwards.
You will still receive OTA with an unlocked bootloader.

you can relock it (safer) but if you want to flash any new rom later you will loose all your data. cause everytime you flash you need to unlock the bootloader. its up to you

Hang on now, lets be clear about the advice that we're giving here.
Yes, a locked bootloader is safer if a thief were to get his hands on your device. However, locking the bootloader has a whole host of other problems linked to it. For example, if you end up in a boot loop with a locked bootloader because something breaks in the rom or kernel, if you have stock recovery, you can never unlock the bootloader again, without sending it for repair.
I would suggest people using experimental ROMs should keep their bootloader unlcoked to avoid this

If I did lock the boot loader, can it not be unlocked again using NRT ? I'm wondering since this (Android M) is an official release from Google, there should be a way to unlock the Boot loader if someone wants to roll back to lollipop ... Am I wrong in this assumption ?

It's a security feature whereby if you do not have "enable OEM unlocking" set in the rom, you cannot unlock the bootloader. If you don't have it set, have stock recovery then have a rom that will not boot, you cannot set that, ergo cannot unlock the bootloader. If you're going to mess with exxperiemental previews, I would suggest not re-locking the bootloader.

I just checked and the 'OEM unlocking' option is turned on under Dev Options.
So, can I unlock the bootloader and flash back to 5.1.1 ?

If you like.
My device VZW XT1096
Fully stock, 5.1 Ota.
23.16.3.victara_verizon...
LPE23.32-25-3
Now:
For root and BL Unlock
Flash ---> 5.0 firmaware = XT1096_5.0_LXE22.46.11_cid2_CFC.xml BUT without motoboot.img and gpt.bin
And
Use Kingoroot app for root
And
Sunshine app for BL Unlock
Later
Flash Twrp recovery and flash custom roms, supersu, custom kernel etc.
They are true?

No, you can't. If you are on 5.1 with a locked bootloader, kingroot, mofo, nor sunshine work. There is no way for you to root, flash custom roms, nor unlock your bootloader.
Mofo, kingroot, and sunshine only work for 4.4.4 or 5.0.
You are currently stuck, sorry.

My device locked bootloader, OK!
But I will back to 5.0 firmware. I will use fastboot mode. Only flash ---> system.img_sparsechunk1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
False?

False, with the bootloader locked, it does not allow you to downgrade to 5.0 nor 4.4.4. The only thing it let's you do is flash the same 5.1 image, it prevents going back to old versions unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
So no unlocked bootloader = no downgrade, no root, no mofo, no sunshine. There is no way to do it currently.
Same problem with you, I've tried but cannot downgrade,cannot root, cannot use sunshine to unlock.
So im waiting for the first thing's first-----a way to root 5.1 on XT1096.

Absolutely. A bad situation. Waiting
Idk, i've been using mofo with my xt1096 even after i updated to 5.1 although i was originally on 5.0 when i first started using it. i thought it was possible. first, just check with mofoverify to see if mofo will work. if it does, then buy mofo and flash the rooted 5.1 mofo image and then use sunshine.
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk
The problem is that they have the 5.1 bootloader which prevents mofo from working. You are using 5.1 system and kernel on a 5.0 bootloader which is why mofo works for you. They can't downgrade the bootloader... Which means no mofo.

oh ok, thanks for clearing it up.

I think someone should report if they have actually tried downgrading to 5.0 from 5.1 ota and keeping the 60.16 bootloader. Can someone more knowledgeable chime in and stop me before I try this? It seems like the most that would happen is a bootloop, which can be fixed by flashing the 5.1 ota files via Motorola device manager.. Just do not flash motoboot.bin or gpt.bin just edit the batch file and remove those two lines. Someone try and see if we can indeed use that as a path to bl unlock.
It won't bootloop. It just straight up will fail to flash saying that you can't downgrade. You can only downgrade after you have an unlocked bootloader.

is there any way to turn the xt1096 to pure edition? since verizon and at&t won't be getting the update to 6.0....

No. The pure edition does not use nor support CDMA. It won't be able to work at all with verizon's network.

What version of android do you have? Is your bootloader unlocked? Are you rooted?
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
I have 5.1, it's not rooted or unlocked. It is a verizon device but no simlock, i'm using it in vodafone, it works in all gsm bands including 4g.
I really like it and I want the 6.0 update if ever possible .

Alright, currently it is impossible to root or unlock the bootloader on the xt1096 running 5.1... Which means it is impossible to convert to xt1095 and impossible to use custom roms. So for the moment you will not be able to get 6.0. Sorry.

yeah, I looked around a bit . Oh well, maybe there will be a way. I bought the device 48 days ago )), noticed last night.

Hello, I have a similar case. I am also from Europe and using the XT1096 but I have not yet upgraded to 5.1. I am currently on 5.0. What are my options and can I convert it to XT1095 so, I can later receive the Marshmallow OTA update? Thanks!
Im using an Unrooted completely Stock Android 5.1 AT&T Moto X XT1095 and i really want to have Marshmallow.
Its possible? Thanks

Not through sideload no. You can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot, but only if your bootloader is unlocked.

No.
However you can unlock your bootloader with sunshine. After you unlock it, then you can do it.
