[Q] Desperate Super NOOB

Hi all!
So I am a super noob to Android, so I am unfamiliar with flashing, bootloader, rooting and so on.. But I am quite computer literate so I should understand easily with explanations
So the story:
- I have a Moto X with 139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericanMovil.en.PR bought on eBay
- I am French
- I am in Ireland with Vodafone
- I have MacOS
For now, the phone is unlocked, and everything is working great here in Ireland with my Vodafone Simcard. (not sure if that means anything to free bootloader, etc..)
But.. I would like two things:
- French language settings (mine only have the 3: English, Brasilian, Spanish)
- Kit-Kat upgrade (absolutely no news when AmericaMovil will get that)
And that's it... I don't know absolutely what to do next...
I think I need to flash to AT&T or T-MO firmware? I think that would solve everything right? I think they have both KitKat and French settings.
But is that still going to work with my Vodafone simcard here in Ireland?
I have no idea how to flash? Any simple step by step tuto? with MacOS?
Thanks a million for any answer!
TiH
PS. Hundred times sorry if this is not the good place to ask.
OK,
So I know I just need to flash the firmware. I know where to get the firmware now.
Very simple questions:
1) With a unlock Moto X does flashing to ATT firmware is breaking my unlock? Can I use only AT&T after that?
2) Is there any tool for MAC OS? Any pointers?
3) Is there any tool for Linux or Windows? Any pointers?
Thanks a lot for any answers!

Do not flash any other firmware other than your specific carrier firmware unless you unlock your boot loader. If you flash sbf firmware while having a locked boot loader you could possibly Bork your phone, there's safety's that will not normally allow you to flash incorrect firmware, that being said , I have see two situations where lines were removed from the flashing XML file which resulted in a hard bricked device

Rogers Moto X 1053 Unlocked bootloader - how return to stock ?

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before..
I didn't know that kit kat 4.4.2. cannot be rooted lol, so I unlocked my boot loader and spent hours trying to load recovery (TWRP or CWM), obviously with no luck.i saw something online that said 4.4 and I assumed it was good for 4.4.2. Didn't work anyways.
Is there any way to load the factory Rogers rom back on so that I don't have that unlocked bootloaeer warning on every boot ?
If yes, any idea where I can download ??
Also, will this change my status on fast boot to Locked ?
I was so looking forward to setup recovery and root, oh well, I still love the device and will be ok at stock until a fix comes out.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Thanks so much
I don't have time to give extreme details but maybe I can still help point you in the right direction.
First off the Rogers Moto X is an XT1058, not an XT1053.
Once the bootloader is unlocked you can easily root the phone with twrp - same version is used for 4.4 and 4.4.2
You can relock the bootloader but the warning is technically always present. You can overwrite the image with a different one though.
The factory firmware is available for download, you can flash it yourself with rsdlite.
There are easy to find threads with all of the details needed to restore to 100% stock or root the Moto X. A few minutes searching and you should find them. Give it a shot, if after that you have further questions by all means please ask.
Hi, thanks for the reply
You are correct, its a 1058 and I officially unlocked my bootloader with motorola and voided my warranty...
I used this link
http://dottech.org/147327/how-to-root-moto-x-on-android-4-4-kitkat-guide/a
And when I try to install the recovery in terminal, it says (bootloader) variable not supported)
It then says writing recovery, finished (so it seems to write it), but I follow instructions, then reboot using terminal command "fastboot reboot" and try to boot into recovery but its blank.I even tried just rebooting to recovery and it still didnt work...
Or it just reverts to stock boot up.
I have tried others also but cannot seem to get it working properly.
Any chance you can guide me though it ? I would really appreciate it...
Hi I did some searching and got it figured out
Thanks again for your help
Hi again,
For some reason, when I went to reboot this morning, TWRP is gone. I boot into recovery and blank screen, seems it didnt hold.
Any idea why ??
Thanks

Yep, you are stuck until the full 4.4.4 SBF is released for your carrier. Shouldn't have done that.
Who is your carrier? If it is AT&T, you are in luck! The 4.4.4 SBF was just released. If not....bummer - you will have to wait. Can't flash a ROM with a different CID with a locked BL.
I highly suggest you don't attempt to manually force the older rom. Really, beyond the fact that you flashed the wrong ROM, how did you miss all the warnings that downgrade = brick?
Tough situation to be in. Hopefully you have an AT&T unit. If so, we can help get you fixed up.
Well, I have solved it Unlocking my Bootloader and then reinstalling the rom 4.4.4 retail from Brazil. It works now.
I have a question, now I am in Brazil but I am from Perú, and when I try to change the APN for the one I use in Perú, it deletes itself, so I can not change the APN or create a new one because i can not save it. What is the problem in there?
My phone was Nextel operator, then I unlock it, never had a problem.
Hope your help.
Thanks!

Error loading sparsechunk.7

Hello everyone,
First of all, my name's Rafael, and I own a XT1225 Moto Maxx BR.
I've got a problem with it.
After trying to reset it to factory settings, it got into bootloader infinite loop.
I'm not able to enter in the system, to enable oem unlock, so it is currently locked.
The thing is I'm trying to repair it by flashing the stock rom Brazil retail 5.0.2, I'm able to flash almost all of it, except the one called system.img_sparsechunk.7, I get "invalid signed image" error.
Is there a way to solve this problem? Or I'll end with a brick in my hands?
I don´t know if you guys can help me, or what other informations you might need to help me.
So if you need anything please ask, and I'll be happy to get it for you.
Thanks for you help!
Hello rafael,
Did you try flashing the firmware with rsd lite 6.2.4 ? I used to get sparsechunk error with cmd commands but rsd lite flashed fine for me.
