Is there an easy was to write custom PRL files on the moto x? I'm running a rooted, stock unlocked phone on Sprint if it makes a difference.
Thanks!
Bump, any thoughts on this from anyone? Is updating the PRL easy for this phone?
I've been looking for help on this for some time as well. In the same boat as you - stock, unlocked, Sprint. I've tried several of the tools and techniques that have been used for other android phones, but have not been able to obtain MSL or change PRL. I would also be very grateful for any help on this!

Now is it safe to do a manual install by going into recovery?
My Incredible S is S-ON from Bell stock ROM.
Please let me know! Thanks!
Couldn't wait... tried it
Got an error saying "Invalid Operation" and automatically reboots.
Damnit!
Rename to pb32img.zip (or pg see downgrade guide in dev) and than boot to hboot, could do the trick. If that doesn't work you have to install by the ruu and perhaps a goldcard.

Help me understand what this ROM is.
What I am assuming is that this is an official unbranded/unmodified ROM directly from HTC with no carrier modifications. That means it has no carrier-specific apps? I would imagine this is the best ROM to install for those with unlocked devices or who wish to be rid of any carrier bloatware?
Who gets this update over-the-air? Did they purchase a factory unlocked Incredible S directly from HTC?
I've seen a lot of people asking, but have yet to see an answer posted. Has anybody succeeded in installing the WWE OTA update on an S-On Bell IS? Is a goldcard required? Also, is there a radio difference between Bell IS and European IS, since they use different bands? And lastly, if so, does it cause any noticeable issues?
I'd like to try it, but was wondering if anybody else had first!

Yeah I have a Bell Incredible S that I unlocked to use on MTS... so what could Bell have done exactly that would prevent goldcards from working?
hi i also have an IS on the bell network as well. however my phone is unlocked and i am currently using it on rogers so im guessing i'll never get the udate. and i have no other option rather than to manually intall it. so i would also like to try this, at least to see if it will work on my device. im just wandering how to go about in doing this. if you could give me a step by step instruction, i would appreciate it. let me know if i need tools like a gold card or something as such. thank you.

Would like to root my XT1050, but cannot find the exact firmware to fall back on if something goes awry. My firmware is 139.4.6.ghost_row.ACG.en.US. The closest firmware that I have found is the Brightpoint 139.4.5.ghost_row.LRA.en.US, which is also the XT1050. My Alltel network is CDMA, but not sure if the Brightpoint is. Does anyone think this Brightpoint firmware would work if I needed to re-flash, or would it be missing the proper radios APN's etc....? Alltel was recently purchased by AT&T, and they told me that this phone was an AT&T phone that was LTE ready when they transition over in July. Most other Alltel users will need to replace their phones at this time. I keep looking for Alltel Moto X users here, but haven't seen any yet, as this phone is fairly new for Alltel. Any ideas?

the brightpoint fxz is generic cdma. it worked fine on the vzw dev edition moto x with the 4.2.2 gpt/motoboot. not sure whether it will work on a locked alltel device, but there's a good chance that it will, since it is xt1050.
i'd try to root first; the worst that could happen is root will fail. if it succeeds, you can make a nandroid of your stock boot and system before making any further modifications.
if you do need to use the fxz to recover, you should flash only system.img. if that alone doesn't work, you may need to flash boot.img as well. there's really no need to flash anything else.
also, i'd recommend backing up your stock build.prop and replacing the brightpoint build.prop with it if you do flash system.img.
standard disclaimer: i'm not responsible for anything bad that may happen to your device as a result of attempting these things...
really need help

I was really hoping someone could upload a link for 139.4.6.ghost_row.ACG.en.US.xml.zip i have accidentally flashed the fsg and modem files for another version of xt1050 and i need alltel's version of these files. plz i can't seem to find a copy of this firmware anywhere and i no longer can get any cdma/evdo signal. all i can do is use a sim card for the time being and considering i am paying for the plan with alltel i'd like to take advantage of my data plan. when i dial *228 it only says call not sent.

I have the Moto X XT1050. U can unlock the bootloader using motorola's website. Then flash twrp using fastboot and use the recovery to root.
The recovery will install supersu. All I had to do was download supersu from the playstore. I also installed the cm12.1 nightly. Not bad. Its awesome. Just wish I could activate the thing. Someone told me I could just pop in an already active Verizon 4g SIM and it'll work. Havnt tried yet tho.

I'm in the same position as you man, I want to be 100% sure before doing anything, although mine has the lra firmware. You didn't got 4.4.2 OTA? Why don't you fall back to that one, it's easier to find and since we can unlock the bootloader the official way you don't have to worry..
Can't post the link, it in a filefactory folder
Lol I'm telling you twrp will root, do you need a link?

Moto x xt 1050 4.4.2 rooted, bootloader unlocked
Just to confirm guys, the motorola moto X xt1050 with android 4.4.2 is posible to root it and unlock the bootloader and install twrp. The problem that I am still having is that I cant change the apn. I am looking to find a way to do it manually , but so far no success.
If I find anything I will let you know, and if you find something please share it.

if you upgraded to 4.4.2 (sense 6.0) recently, as far as I know there isn't a root method out right now because the other day I tried a bunch of older ways with no luck. I was using weaksauce before but since I upgraded I haven't been able to achieve a root. If anyone knows a way please post.
There: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40946925
1. Bootloader unlock at htcdev.
2. Flash custom recovery in fastboot.
3. Copy rooted rom to phone, flash in recovery.
There are guides for all of this available various places if you search.

I've been googling around and reading threads ... want to get Lollipop on my Sprint Moto X.
But quite confused by all the different versions.
Currently I have
- unlocked bootloader
- rooted
- TWRP recovery
- unlocked by Sprint for Int'l use
And this:
Code:
baseband
MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.038.123.00R
Kernel 3.4.42-gcac35be
[email protected] #1
HW version
P30
System version
212.44.28.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US
Build number
KXA21.12-L1.28
I do NOT care about every using Sprint again; I just want to be able to use GSM SIM in Europe.
If someone could please verify what I've gleaned ...
As I understand, I would need to
1. Flash the XT1053 4.4.4 from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/64a43f0fcc1e/Moto_X/Official_XT1053/
I do this from TWRP, yes?
2. Then flash a XT1053 5.0 or 5.1 from ... where?
Can I use this Verizon one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/vzw-5-1-soak-ota-t3144689
.... if I flash a Verizon 4.4.4?
3. Then I would need to re-unlock for int'l SIM ... as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
But only change the NV-ITEM thing, not the SPC thing?
Or do I do that BEFORE flashing Lollipop?
Again, I do NOT care about every using CDMA/Sprint again.
But I do want GSM SIM with LTE in Europe.
Thanks!
There is no updates until now, you can get some info in here
also its able to flash any custom ROM like CM12.1 or any other via recovery
Any news?
Hi, did you try anything?
I have XT1049, manually flashed it to 5.1 with XT1056 rom, it worked fine, but than I installed another update to fix stagefright and since than phone does not detect sim card, you can read my whole story here
I just wanted to know if you had tried anything about installing lollipop? XT1049 and 1056 are almost identical hardware so we are in the same boat of being in the minority
I ended up just flashing the XT1053 version from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/xt1053-retail-stock-lollipop-flashable-t3155843
and it's been working fine.

I did the same, but what did you do with the stagefright? Didn't you get OTA notification right after you installed lollipop, it should have been stagefright fix?
Thanks for your response, it's very important for me, trying to figure out what to do my "No sim card detected" XT1049.

(a) It was a few months ago, so I don't remember exactly what 'happened' -- but I don't recall getting any OTA notification
(b) I am in Europe, so haven't connected to Sprint network at all since then
(c) Mine is a 1056, so may be different ...
Sorry, wish I could help, but I'm not nearly expert enough to advise!
I assume you've done the idiotic stuff, like cleaning your SIM card, re-seating it, trying a different SIM, etc...
Yes, tried everything including sim cleaning etc.
I'm not in US neither, nor am I using Sprint.
Could you check and send your system version and baseband version please?
I might figure out something from it.
And if you remember did you directly flash XT1053 on 4.4.2? Or did you flash XT1053 4.4.4 first and then lollipop ,as you have written in OP here?
I'm trying to help a friend out by unlocking her bootloader, rooting, and getting s-off. Which I did manage to do.
What I want to do now is go back to a stock rom that is compatible with her phone. I had installed CM 12.1 to test it out and see if she was ok with it, but she wants it back to how it looked before. Thing is, i've been trying to figure out which RUU to use with the CID this phone has and I can't seem to find one. Also, she uses straight talk but her phone model looks like it's a verizon type. She told me her carrier uses GSM but this phone looks like it may only be able to use CDMA. That explains why she can't use her data. She wanted me to do all this hoping it would work, but I didn't realize the issue to recently.
So I just want to get a working stock rom on this phone. I'm not trying to go back to locked, unrooted, and s-on... Just need a rom that will work with this phone. Can anyone help me out?

There are 3 companies using the Verizon variant (M7_VZW), Verizon(x.xx.605.x), Cellsouth (x.xx.563.x) and UTStarCom (x.xx.557.x).
Maybe you could change the CID to Verizon and flash a Verizon RUU or simply flash a close to stock custom rom compatible with verizon variant.
