Which one of these images should I install on my nexus one that works with carrier Rogers?
developer.htc.com/
Nexus One (ERE36B) Official OS Image
Nexus One (EPE54B) Official OS Image
Nexus One FRF91 system image
Nexus One FRG83 system image
Nexus One FRG83 by HTC WebKit source code
Nexus One GRI40 system image
It doesn't mater which version of android you have your phone will work on Rogers either way although if you want the latest version then I would suggest getting 2.3.3 from htc and then upgrading to 2.3.4 via OTA.
you have a link I am stupid
GRI40 from the ones you've mentioned.
Or just read the Wiki and use Unroot/Restore guide with PASSIMG method, FRG83.
I dl'ed the GRI40 image, renamed it to update.zip, put it on the root of the sdcard, and when I apply/install it gives the following.
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
This is basically what has happened on all images I have dl'ed and tried expect the cyanogen mod7, the 7.0.3-N1 installed just fine.
do you have the wiki url, there are many wiki's on the internet.
Click on my signature to go to Wiki.
You can't install GRI40 from custom recovery, you need a stock one (or just turn the signature verification off in recovery). Don't forget to wipe data before installing.
Or just use PASSIMG method, as I've suggested earlier.
SO there are 3 ways I can do it, which is better, are their plus or minis in either way.
1. You can't install GRI40 from custom recovery... turn the signature verification off in recovery).
2. >>>you need a stock one
where do I get a "stock one"
3. >>>Or just use PASSIMG method,
Is there a how-to-do on this method?
>>>Don't forget to wipe data before installing.
Is this documented some where as I don't know what this means.

Ok I am going over the Nexus One Wiki from your sig. Here seems to be the best way to go. Am I correct?
[ROM] Original Shipping - Tutoria
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
My objective is to get it set up some I am using the original software and have it updated to 2.3.4 and also so where there are additional updates I can do them over the wire.
Also at the bottom of the above link there is the following guide.
The following information came from user tuffCookie (for those with unlocked bootloader):
Should I used the tuffCookie guide if I have a unlocked bootloader? How do I have a unlocked bootloader?

Also my Nexus One will only work with Rogers. I have a working Bell and Telus SIM and they don't work. So it seems my phone is also SIM locked? I would also like to SIM unlock this phone. How do I do that?

You really should do some additional reading...
To get to a stock image, download the file from the first post of this thread and rename it to PASSIMG.zip, then place it in the root directory of your sdcard. Turn off your N1, then boot the phone by holding down the trackball and pushing the power button. Then follow the on-screen instructions. This will get you to a stock FRG83 ROM. You will then get the OTA updates to go to GRJ22.
Note: this will wipe your device (including your root access). To get root again, see the hundreds of post telling you how to do it.

Rogers does not sell the N1, so it is impossible that your N1 is SIM-locked to Rogers. I suspect that you have the T-Mobile version of the N1, not the AT&T version.
The T-mobile version has the following bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 for 2G, and 900, 1700, 2100 for 3G
The AT&T version has the following bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 for 2G and 850, 1900, 2100 for 3G.
Rogers supports 850, 1900 for 2G, and 850, 1900 for 3G.
Bell and Telus support nil for 2G and 850, 1900 for 3G.
You do the math...

You can switch radios without SBF. Just edit the two or three lines in the build.prop needed for GSM and connect your phone to a computer, flash the SBF radio.img or the radio.img included in that thread.

Hello!
I'm currently stationed in Singapore and bought a Moto X about a month or so ago from eBay. While I am anxiously waiting for my Moto X to receive the 4.4 update, I realised that the system version (after the previous camera update) is 139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR, which I found to be a Latin America version after some searching on the forums and Googling here and there.
I also found this thread, where OP said that they can be flashed over to either the T-Mobile version. Does this continue to work for the 4.4 updates by T-Mobile or AT&T, and would there be anything else required for flashing? (I saw something about flashing new radios and all, but was quite confused by contradicting explanations and suggestions :/)
Thanks in advance!
// EDIT:
To add on after a bit of searching, I realised that I am allowed to unlock my bootloader, despite claims from the original retailer on eBay that the phone came from AT&T (which is notorious, even here, for their stance on bootloader unlocking). What gives?
I got the same Moto X from a buddy yesterday. I did a lot of searching and also discovered the thread about the phone being flashed to t- mobile.
I fooled the steps on another thread titled " Return to stock 100%" out something like that...
I downloaded the correct Att firmware and with the use of RSDLite, I successfully flashed my Moto X to ATT.... it took less than 10 minutes. And as soon as it booted up, I got hit with the "update available" message ( kit Kat)

Thanks for the information!
I've successfully upgraded my phone to the Verizon version (minus all the bloatware that I hastily blasted off), with root and TWRP. So this is what I did, for future reference:
It seems that AmericaMovil versions are not bound by the AT&T's locked bootloader policies, and other Latin America versions are probably free from the restriction too. So I managed to get my hands on the Motorola Fastboot and unlocked my bootloader. TWRP was installed (remember to use 2.6.3.1 and above for 4.4 support), and then flashed the Verizon system dump available here. Root was installed by TWRP.
After getting on the device and setting things up, I rebooted to recovery to remove lots of bloatware (available in /system/app and /system/priv-app). Had to remove some of them through Titanium Backup as the file names were not always indicative that it came from Verizon. I made the extra step of killing the god-awful boot animation that they had by replacing it with this.
And... that concludes my experience with this, I suppose.
I've been looking through a few threads and I am not comfortable enough to flash the T-Mobile rom over my AmericanMovil one yet.
I can't seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this.. Would anyone like to explain it from the ground up?
My understanding
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash a recovery like twrp or cmw
3) flash the rom that is given in the OG post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477180
4) this should now give us the t-mobile version of things and we should be able to do the standard OTA from there?
[Q] So can this all be done without ever having to root the phone?

I'm not too sure whether flashing via TWRP/CMW will allow you to get OTA, unfortunately. Which is why I went straight for the Verizon system dump. But yes, you can change firmware without ever having to root the phone. Heck, I think there's a guide on restoring mentioned by @plmiller0905 below that will allow you to do it without unlocking the bootloader, even.

I believe the bootloader does have to be unlocked in order to flash a different firmware.

Yeah after doing so more reading.. (at least the way I'm willing to do it) is to just unlock my bootloader and then using RSD Lite (Which i still have no idea what that is / where it is) flash an SBF found here (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php)
I guess following this video somewhat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr0JHSAXJDI#t=15
Does that sound right?
Should I flash the TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17-57_MR1_CFC.xml.zip
Or just jump straight to the 4.4 version TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_CFC.xml.zip
??
As far as I know, the use of RSD Lite doesn't require an unlocked bootloader (at least, that's what it shows in the video you showed me anyway), especially since these are images supposedly signed by Motorola themselves. Let me know if you've found something else?
As for your question on which to flash... I'm not sure, but you'd skip a lot of the hassle if you could flash 4.4 straight, so how about trying that?

Rsdlite is a shell for a flash boot flash supposedly with an XML doing all the steps together. Just makes it easier.
You need unlocked boot loader only to flash an image that doesn't match your current boot loader. So if you have a. At&t phone you can only flash at&t images by rsdlite. But if you unlock your amerimovil phone you can flash any xt1058 image I think. So amerimovil could take say a rogers or at&t or telcel image. Not sure if T-Mobile image will work on a full rsdlite flash as it is an xt1053 image. I think you can flash most of a T-Mobile image by twrp but not by rsdlite not sure

yes of course. think about it like if you took a dell windows 7 install CD , and put it on an HP. all the dell customizations would still be there.
obviously since you have unlocked bootloader, once you do the RSDlite you can always flash twrp, and superuser, and delete all that stuff. but then you wouldn't get updates again. i dont think the at&t image is really THAT bad. though i've heard the rogers one is better (though maybe not 4.4 yet)

Yeah unfortunately that's what I thought. Hence why I would of liked to flash the t-mobile image but I'm going to hold off until someone that is a bit more adb savvy then myself tries it out. I wouldn't know what to do if I ended up soft bricking my phone
Well it didn't take long to try it out myself...
It worked out!
I used this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
I downloaded the Tmobile 4.4 Image and used RSD.
All you have to do is unlock your BL. (Note: I was completely bone stock with NO root and NO special recovery like CMW or TWRP)
Have all the proper drivers installed, enable USB debugging in developer settings on the phone
Go into Fastboot on the phone
Plug in the phone and just follow the video
I do not take any responsibitliy if you brick your phone. It is fairly easy process and took only a few mins.
Hope this helps!

I've been doing some research on this since yesterday and I've been hesitant on doing it. I saw in your last post that you successfully flashed the TMO 4.4 ROM on your AmericaMovil phone, so I have a few questions for you before I go ahead and do the same:
1. Can you please confirm that your model is XT1058 and not XT1053?
2. Does the TMO ROM have the TMO boot logo and any TMO bloatware?
3. Does the TMO ROM have the Tethering & portable hotspot option under Settings > More?
4. Does the TMO ROM have the Mass Storage option under Settings > Storage > | > USB computer connection?
5. Have you been having any radio problems since you flashed the TMO ROM?
I wonder if I install the ROM in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477180 using RSDLite, would I get the OTA update to 4.4? The reason I want to install this ROM is because it only flashes system and boot.img without flashing bootloader, modem, logo etc... and I know the XT1058 radio is different from the XT1053 radio, so I've been reluctant to flash a full XT1053 ROM on my XT1058 phone.
But what I also would like to know is if an OTA update would flash a full ROM or not. In other words, if I flash the ROM above and then OTA update to 4.4 and the OTA update flashes the full ROM including the radio, I might as well flash the full 4.4 immediately.
What do you or anyone else think?
I'll answer to the best of my ability. heh

Mine was an XT1058, and has been flashed to XT1060. (I didn't notice that T-Mo had a 4.4 ROM on the list, so I went straight for the flashable ZIP for Verizon instead. silly me.)

Thank you for your answers!
Regarding Mass Storage, the reason I'm asking is because I don't have it on my AmericaMovil ROM.
The ROM is basically exactly what you get when you buy the T-Mobile version.
I figured the radios are nearly identical from the AT&T version and the T-Mobile version so my XT1058 is running on the XT1053 radios. There is no bloatware. tethering is there but I'm not sure if t-mobile will allow it. There is NO tmobile logo that comes up on boot. USB connect to computer is there.
As for the radio section again.. I was getting only EDGE in my house before I switched to this ROM (Meaning when I was on the ORIGINAL XT1058 image) and I am still getting only EDGE in my house.. Unfortunately I haven't left my house since yesterday flashing the image but when I'll be back at work in NYC and should see '4G/LTE' over there.
We'll see.

I've always been on T-mobile network. Both when i was on original XT1058 AmericanMovil system version and still on T-mobile when I switched the image to XT1053.
Back on my Nexus 4 though.. I would have HSPA+ in my house.. So I thought it was a bit odd that as soon as I received this phone that I wasn't getting anything other than EDGE..
I purchased it in Aurora, CO from a buddy that said he was using it on T-Mobile.
Everything works great even the LTE on T-Mobile, but from what I read the XT1058 was AT&T's variant of the Moto X and wasnt supposed to support the T-Mobile LTE bands.
I did a little research & found out that it is not a AT&T branded XT1058 and is actually from another country.
After checking the Moto X wiki i came to the conclusion that its the XT1058 model from TIM Brazil
I used it the whole day and noticed an app called "BR Apps" that had a brazil flag in the icon that i just can't uninstall. I can disable it but i want it gone.
I want to root this phone and fiddle with it, but don't know what will work with it.
The bootloader is locked and not sure if it is safe for me to start trying to root this thing.
My biggest question is if it is safe to root this XT1058 the same way as the AT&T or other carrier moto x?
Heres some more info on it.

The AT&T Moto X (and ALL the XT1058 variants) DOES support all the LTE bands that T-Mobile uses. It does NOT support the AWS band which T-Mobile uses for HSPA/HSPA+
All of the XT1058 variants have the same frequency bands....otherwise the FCC would require a different FCC ID.
Anyways, its GREAT that you have a non-U.S. XT1058, because you SHOULD be able to unlock the bootloader from Motos website!!! (AT&T XT1058s can NOT be unlocked through Moto....AT&T won't allow them to give out the unlock codes for the AT&T variants)
If you want root, unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP (which will root the device). Then you're all set! No crazy exploits needed......and you'll be safe with future versions because you won't be using a root 'exploit' that can be patched.

Make sense?
Makes perfect sense. I upgraded from a t-mobile galaxy s3 that was easier to root because of odin software and wasn't 100% sure where I would even start rooting this moto. You pretty much cleared everything up for me. This xt1058 is one of the good ones is what you are saying and its boot loader is ublockable. As far as baseband it should remain the same? Can I flash xt1058/xt1053 ROMs without running into weird issues or should I treat this device like any other US version?

Yep, pretty much. One of the 'good' ones
It *should* be bootloader unlockable. You will have to try the moto website I linked to see for sure.
You can flash any XT1058 rom safely....the Rogers Canada version seems to be a favorite around here. Some users have reported flashing the XT1053 rom without any issues as well. The XT1058 has 2 additional LTE bands over and above the 1053, and we aren't sure if you 'lose' these bands by flashing the 1053 rom though. This really isn't an issue though, because those 2 LTE bands aren't even used in the U.S. right now.
Do not flash one of the CDMA (verizon, sprint, etc) roms though...
If you flash a different carrier rom you should flash the entire rom (baseband and all). Its not recommended to mix different roms and basebands....and of course you HAVE to be bootloader unlocked -before- you can flash another carrier's rom

Great! If you get an error when flashing to a different carrier rom, let me know and I'll help you get past it.
Also, if you are planning on flashing the 1053 ROM and updating to 4.4.3, you will need to use a new version of TWRP and SuperSU. See here:

Also, if you are planning on flashing the 1053 ROM and updating to 4.4.3, you will need to use a new version of TWRP and SuperSU. See here:

Just flashed the 2.7.0.0 TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu, did a TWRP backup of my system and flashing the T-Mobile stock 4.4.3 Rom from here.

Hope all goes well!
EDIT: ALL WENT WELL. Brazil XT1058 Bootloader unlocked, TWRP 2.7.0.0, flashed with XT1053 4.4.3 rooted rom! samwathegreat you are the man!
Hi guys,
I live in Brazil and got a Moto X for my wife, I love it, now considering buy another for myself
She has same version as @tKoHaXoR:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.031.111.00R
System version: 161.44.26.ghost_row.TIM.en.BR
Kernel version: 3.4.42-g7a3369f
Build number: KXA20.16-1.26
I'd like to get root and keep the stock ROM, at least for now I won't mess with custom ROMs on it.
My questions:
- once I unlock bootloader and root, I won't get OTA anymore?
- seems 4.4.4 stock is not out for it yet, when it comes I will be able to flash even if I don't get it from OTA?
Sorry it's hard to feel like a noob again, when I did everything possible and flashed dozens of ROMs on my old Galaxy S2

I'm not 100% sure if it will still get OTA, but most likely you will get a notification on your phone that the update is available. The thing is you will most likely lose root if you accept the OTA update.
I recommend just rooting and installing custom recovery for now and once the update does roll out come back to XDA and look for the rooted 4.4.4 rom and flash it to your device.
Thanks @tKoHaXoR, I unlocked the bootloader yesterday, after messing up a little it's working ok.
Not working great yet, I tried to "integrate updates into system" using Titanium and now "modality services" and "active display" are force closing after boot.
Now trying to find a stock based ROM, it would be nice to have one CWM flashable and deodexed...
Which one did you install?
So, as I understand, there's 2 main types of Moto X: CDMA and GSM
And this XT1058 runs GSM ROMS, so the one from XT1053 should work.

Once you unlock the bootloader, and root, you'll still get OTA Updates when the phone's carrier pushes them.
As long as you are stock, and haven't modified too much, you can flash the OTA's. You can be rooted. (for more see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-OTA.html )
You can always use RSDLite or mFastboot to flash if the SBF (rom) for your phone/carrier gets leaked and put on http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 (this site is neither owned, maintained, nor operated by Motorola). They don't have the OTA update files, just the full rom. Based on you earlier posting System version: 161.44.26.ghost_row.TIM.en.BR You have an XT1058 from TIM Brazil.
If you haven't received the OTA yet, but are stock (including stock recovery) and someone shares the OTA zip file for your phone and its carrier, you can manually install it.

Kind of, but not exactly...
We usually don't recommend flashing the ROM from one model/carrier onto another (like flashing an ATT XT1058 with a T-MObile XT1053) because there are risks something could go wrong. That doesn't mean you can't, just means there is a chance you could mess your phone up either in flashing the other rom, or when you try and flash back to stock.
If you are looking for 3rd party or "after market" roms, like CM or such, then yes, usually they don't include modems and such, making them somewhat model independent. (SO you could flash the same CM ROM for GSM on an XT1052, XT1053, XT1058, etc.)

If you cant get network signals after unlock you should update the firmware (hboot,radio,sbl's...not the OS itself), i got mine working with this firmware 2.16.651.4
WARNING: Do this at your own risk, i will help if you have trouble but nothing guaranteed.

No im GSM user, some gsm users dont get signal after sim unlocking US phones.
SIM unlock should be possible there is a link in the FAQ post. (I don't recommend trying it unless you've already broken your guarantee and have S-OFF)

i have the same problem with the M7, any help?

Ask in the M7 forums, I highly doubt that our problems are related.
This phone is from the USA, it has some AT&T bloatware on it that I can't seem to delete and I am using it in Europe on a different carrier (it is unlocked).
It works great except for the fact that the software is stuck on version 4.1.2, I tried checking for updates but it says that it's "already up to date".
So...
1. What is the latest default version of Android for the HTC One M7 available?
2. How do I flash it onto this phone? I don't want any modifications/root etc. only the latest default firmware.
This may be wrong but someone told me that if I flash a wrong software I may lose my network connectivity so here are the frequency capabilities of the phone:
2G: GSM 850, 1900
3G: UMTS 850, 1900, 1700, 2100
4G: LTE 700, 800, 1700, 1900, 2100
Here are my network's frequencies:
2G: GSM 900 , 1800
3G: UMTS 900, 2100
4G: LTE 800, 1800
In case someone asks.
I am a noob when it comes to flashing HTC phones so please tell me what software I need to use to flash the device and where I can find the latest firmware for the phone.
other info on the phone:
Android version: 4.1.2
Software number: 1.26.502.12
HTC Sense version: 5.0

There are 2 RUU's for the AT&T One. You flash them from a windows EXE file
first one is here >> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
( If you want to s-off the phone do it now with rumrunner before the next RUU)
After that one you can flash this
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2.exe
If the second one hangs or gives a htc_fastboot stopped working, flash this first then the RUU

Thanks for the quick reply, I just have a few questions.
1. I am currently on T-Mobile in Europe but the phone is from AT&T USA, do I need to flash AT&T software or T-Mobile or can I put an "unbranded" software (without bloatware)?
I also need the phone to be able to update itself with OTA in the future.
2. Does the software affect the network bands the phone can run on?
3. Which program do I need on my PC to flash the phone?
4. Do I need a custom recovery/unlock bootloader or something like that?
I am sorry if these questions sound dumb =/

2. Does the software affect the network bands the phone can run on? Yes each version comes with a newer better radio
3. Which program do I need on my PC to flash the phone? Their self running RUU you need c++ librarys is all
4. Do I need a custom recovery/unlock bootloader or something like that? No their RUU (Rom Update Utility)

So basically all I need to do to have the latest firmware on this phone is to run the 2 RUUs you linked above in that order?
Is there anything I need to install on my PC before running the RUU? Are there any risks I should know about when using that software?
When the official Lollipop is available for the One will I also need to flash it through a PC?

No that's not the latest software ... their is no RUU for the last AT&T version 5.x.502.x
and the Developers Edition is already at 6.x.1540.x and expecting 7.x.1540.x in a few days / weeks
you need to concentrate on getting s-off right now

if u update firmware ur path to have S Off will though and u need to pay $25 so better to have S Off now
then convert to Dev edition
I just checked the phone, it has hboot 1.44.
What is the safest way to S-OFF and flash a Developer Edition? Can anyone link a nice guide?
And do I have to root the phone before doing this?
Current software version is 1.26.502.12 (Android v. 4.1.2).

Does rumrunner work with hboot 1.44? Also, on that guide it says for 4.4.2 but this phone is 4.1.2, is there any difference in the process of rooting/flashing rom in regards to the version of the software? I also found this S-OFF tool somewhere and I read that it's the simplest one for 1.44. Thanks for the answers guys!
