[Q] I bought an AT&T Moto X, trying to flash it to Telcel's ROM and got stuck. - Moto X Q&A

I recently bought an AT&T Moto X, 32GB (XT1058 me thinks). But I don't like AT&T's stock ROM due to the bloatware.
I'm trying this tutorial, but I'm getting stuck at this part

Any ideas? I got the ROM from HERE and I'm trying to use the "Android 4.4.2
Blur_Version.161.44.26.ghost_row.Movistar.en.MX" ROM.

Can I install a stock ROM from another carrier? Say, Telcel or Movistar.

I only know a thing, never flash telcel roms. They have much more bloatware

Just go into apps and disable all the at&t apps that's what I did.

For some weird reason I can't flash the phone with the Movistar's ROM, but the flashing is working with the AT&T ROM.
EDIT: It won't let me flash it with Telcel's ROM either. Is there a way to get around this or should I just install AT&T's ROM (Which I hate)?

It's NOT recommended to flash other carrier official firmware. Custom ROM's are a different story.
If you want to try anyway, at the risk of bricking your device, you could try the Rogers official ROM IF AT&T is also XT1058. I can confirm the Rogers firmware has ZERO bloatware. Source: I own Rogers unlocked Moto X and run stock ROM.

Mine is a XT1058 AFAIK, but then again, just to confirm, where can I double check?
EDIT: Nevermind. It didn't let me. Only AT&T's version seems to be working.
Is there a way to uninstall the bloatware without unlocking the device? Perhaps by rooting?

Ah too bad.
For future reference, model# is on the back

It IS the XT1058.
Did AT&T do something to these phones so they wouldn't work with other stock ROM's?

You can't root if you are on 4.4.2 already, unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Which you can't do on motos site. Not with an at&t retail phone.
You can look in general section for the China unlock thread, and can pay for an unlock code....if your phone is on his list.
Otherwise, you can't root.
And flashing other carriers firmware is not a great idea as said above....especially since your bootloader is locked... Limits your options for fixing issues.

[Q] Root moto X 4.4 Tigo Colombia

I want to change my nexus 4 for a moto X but I hate to lose the "nexus liberty", in other words I don't want go back to a smartphone that I can't get root. I read in XDA forums the jcase root for motoX 4.4 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896) but in the first step he said (I quote):
"You need to get the camera update from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php and flashing back to it. You must be 100% stock before continuing."
I'm from colombia and i saw that Skrilax_CZ have the ClaroColombia image, but i'm not have that carrier and if I get the motoX will be from other carrier named TIGO Colombia, so my question is that the ClaroColombia image works with the TigoColombia phone. If not, someone can help me to find the TigoColombia image?
Yours will probably be boot loader unlockable so you can just flash root
If you are bootloader locked then it will not let you flash anything other than what you phone is supposed to have to feel free to give that a shot. You can probably bootloader unlock however and save yourself the trouble of using the exploit to gain root. Also once you are bootloader unlocked if that devices is model xt1053 you can flash just about every image out right now for tmobile or other xt1053 carriers.

Thanks for your help, but i know that the "Claro Colombia" carrier is the X1058 model, how I know how to discover the model in the other carrier (Tigo colombia), is that information in Settings > About phone menu ?
Sorry for stupid questions but i'm a little novice in this topics

I search the baseband in google and I found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530605) So I don't know if I'm wrong to say that the Tigo Colombia Carrier image I could use the Sprint US carrier image as replacement

OK, finally I have all the information.
The motoX of Tigo Colombia with the camera update patch is:
Model: X1058
Baseband version: MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.020.90.00R
System version: 139.12.37.ghost_row.Latam.en.CO
Compilation number: 13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX.37
The phone is from a friend of my
So as i see it (correct me if i'm wrong please) I have three options for root:
1- Don't do it and life with that
2- Do it via Custom recovery and superSU-chainfire
3- Via SlapMyMoto xploit with the images of Skrilax_CZ (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php)
The option #2 implies the use of TWRP or another recovery. I actually have a nexus 4 with a custom recovery and when I upgrade android via OTA the phone goes to a bootloop, with the nexus it's easy to solve because google publish the factory images. With the motoX it's another question...........
The option #3 implies use the factory image of Skrilax_CZ (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php) but as i said when I open the [Q] i don't know what factory image i can use. Hopefully with the info above someone can tell me what image i can use or if i can't use any at all.

I just checked and the OTA from Telcel is finally available, has someone installed it yet?
I would like to know if they didn't ruin the phone with bloatware or maybe add their fugly startup logo? The current 4.2 version is totally bloat free and I would prefer to remain that way... Anything else to consider before accepting the update?

I just installed 4.4.2 from Telcel and it remains just as clean as 4.2. No problems, so far!

I've installed it and it's beautiful <3
No bloatware and boot logo is the same, but for me, the only flaw is the navigation bar, it isn't translucent but the status bar is. Any suggestions?

Will we get a recovery that can flash ASOP ROMS?

I know we have Safestrap, and I am very thankful for that. However, I was wondering if we will ever be able to get the recovery's I remember from the Galaxy Nexus, and the EVO?
...or is the Galaxy S5 doomed to never be able to unlock the bootloader? I'll stick with the phone, it's a beast....I'll just be sad if we'd never be able to flash all kinds of custom ROMS.
We can flash custom roms.

Custom roms are making their way to the s5 and the s5 active. For recovery you want to go with safestrap. As far as the bootloader goes it's up to a highly skilled individual to get this to us cause I doubt AT&T or Verizon is gonna get off their duff and do us justice.
All that aside I really enjoy the phone. right now I'm on stock awaiting the next release of koolkit rom for the s5 active. There is however a bounty for the unlocking of our bootloaders for both AT&T and Verizon. I do believe it is around $8,000 for AT&T and $9,000 for Verizon(not exact numbers just estimates). Hopefully we will see it happen till then enjoy your phone.:thumbup:

AOSP Roms? NO is not going to happen. We only have 'Safestrap' and the only thing we can flash are TW Roms since we can not touch the Kernel due to the locked bootloader.
Honestly I'm almost 100% sure the bootloader is not going the get unlocked ever. So if you like AOSP you will need to swap your AT&T S5 for an international version or TMO version.

[SOLVED BY WARRANTY - BOARD REPLACEMENT] HELP - Wrong firmware flashed on my XT1078

Hey guys, first of all i'm not a new kid on the block regarding android. In fact i'm one of the developers of crDroid Android.
Yesterday, august 11, i flashed an XT1068 on my XT1078 Moto G 4G. It boots ok, enter in fastboot and all other flashing stuffs. But my device ends with a wrong firmware inside and without any kind of data signal even wifi.
When i try to install my current firmware, fastboot shows some "downgrade" and "PIV" messages for bootloader, boot and system images.
My question is: there are a fix, workaround, hack or something for this?
My bootloader version isn't unlockable. I'm waiting an answer of motorola in that case
Any help will be very welcome
Thanks already

Hey man.
Coming from the world of flashing Nexus devices, I've gone through similar issues on both my moto x (2014) and moto g (xt1072).
Firstly, Motorola bootloaders (motoboot) don't seem to like being downgraded at all. So never do that, version numbers can be tricky to come by, so worth keeping note of.
The fact that it boots is good too.
The reason you're not getting mobile data is most likely because the new modem you flashed is incompatible with your firmware, does the xt1068 have LTE?
However the internals are basically the same as mine as far as I'm aware, so that is probably why it boots.
I've gotten those pink error messages as well on my old X, but only when I tried converting to a different model for faster updates. Never did any harm, but I do know that you never downgrade a Motorola bootloader.

Hey man!
Both devices are almost the same. The main difference is that XT1068 don't have LTE and XT1078 (mine) have.
I'm keeping contact with motorola because my device isn't unlockable (bootloader) but i don't have too much hope for a fix.
Anyway, thanks for your comment here friend!

No worries, you could just flash your baseband again and erase the modems and you should have connectivity back. Maybe your original firmware is older the than one you flashed. Probably doesn't like going backwards. Could perhaps find a newer factory image once 5.1 is released.

I had this happen with an unlocked Motorola HD and I had to flash the correct modem . If your using T mobile you probably aren't unlocked just Sim unlocked. If that's the case you need to flash an att version of 5.0 you can not revert back to 4.4.4 unless you are unlocked not Sim unlocked . If you really are unlocked then you can find a easy tutorial on this site. Good luck I didn't fix my atrix until I bought a new phone lol
