I have the chance to get a new AT&T Moto X for a great price. I'm on T-Mobile, though, and use their WiFi calling. Is it possible to root and install a T-Mobile ROM onto the AT&T Moto X?
Thanks.
Yes, I have the 1058 and flashed t mobile roms

Wifi calling is not supported on the Moto x.

Can you flash the TMO ROM on an ATT Moto X using RSDLite/fastboot commands without having to unlock the bootloader?

No, the bootloader must be unlocked to do that.

But afaik, the ATT XT1058's bootloader cannot be unlocked. So how did @flashallthetime install the TMO ROM on his ATT XT1058 without unlocking the bootloader?

Not sure. He is in Canada so I assume he has a Rogers XT1058(same hardware as the AT&T phone) and unlocked his bootloader.
I believe there are flashable zips that can be used with a rooted phone, however the process isn't as simple as flashing the full image with rsdlite.

Let's clarify things,
1) my bootloader is unlocked because I have a Rogers variant
2) flashing touched Roms through twrp recovery only, yes flashing flashable 1053 roms
3) I have never attempted to rsdlite any firmware other than rogers firmware
Is this clear enough, I do not want anyone to brick there phone, had 3 soft bricks to this point myself, its a frigging pain in the butt and yes they all involved flashing Roms. The moto is a great phone but its also very finicky
My suggestion is wait for your carriers firmware to be available and rsdlite it.
Yesterday I again had a soft brick just from restoring a nandroid, so I rsdlite back to the pre camera firmware, I had it downloaded already. I then accepted the new camera ota and everything went fine until I tried to flash twrp recovery, it wouldn't flash, so I tried to rsdlite back to the pre camera firmware, no go. It seems that I can't downgrade from an ota even with a unlocked boot loader
Edit: patience, obviously we are all going to receive kitkat soon enough and I believe AT&T is next up, US carriers first and then all other carriers.
Trust me I want kitkat too but not willing to jump through and dig a frigging hole I can't get out of

So my question is again, can you flash the TMO ROM on an ATT Moto X using RSDLite/fastboot even though the bootloader cannot be unlocked on the ATT XT1058?
Thanks

Use rsdlite, should work fine but I have flashed both and getting slightly better battery life with the at&t version, also it seems faster, no lock screen lag where on the T-Mobile version I had a lag unlocking my device. The T-Mobile version has no bloatware

I thought you could't flash a different ROM on a locked bootloader phone.
So how can he flash the T-Mobile ROM on an AT&T phone if he cannot unlock the bootloader??
I don't think we are all talking about the same thing. What is rsd lite? A Rom? I'd like to keep stock android so I can get the ota updates. I just need to sim unlock

That's a different story then. You need to request the sim unlock code from at&t and hope they give it to you. Tell them you're travelling and u need to use it abroad
There might also be 3rd party services on ebay that would offer sim unlocking ur phone for a fee, but i'm not sure if it's available for the Moto X.

Haha okay sounds good. Thanks for the help. Good luck to whatever else you guys were talking about
Or is this not an issue with the Dev Edition? I don't want to loose root when I power off my phone. Thanks!
You have an unlocked bootloader I assume? So write protection will be off on any Android version. Just like any unlocked moto x. ?

I have a Sprint unlocked moto x (works on all carriers) Its on Android 4.4.2. However, there is an OTA upgrade to 4.4.4? So if i upgrade it, will the phone again be locked or what?

No once you do an authorized unlock you are in control. Same for any unauthorized, as all reports have ever indicated. Would Moto ever want the flack from such a move?

Right
Hello everybody. I'm looking to re-root my moto x. I currently have a Sprint Moto X running Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat. I have my boot loader unlocked and I have prior experience to rooting. I've been looking for a while now and I can't find a thread showing a 4.4.4 root method. Any links or guides would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
If you are bootloader unlocked just flash a recovery in fastboot and then flash the current SU zip from chainfire's website.
Thank you sir. Much appreciated. Didn't know if it was like the old jellybean method but apparently it is. Thanks for the advice
Yep, no problem. It's the same no matter what version you are on.

Were you able to get this done? I'm thinking about updating to 4.4.4 but want to have root as well. I'm on the Dev Edition for Verizon.

With a VZW Dev X, just get the bootloader unlock from Moto's site, use it to unlock the bootloader, and you can always root.
Heck, since moto gives out the bootloader for your phone, you could even update, then get/use the unlock code, and root at any time.
I got a fresh Moto X from AT&T with 5.0.1 on it and was wondering if I can downgrade and unlock? Every android I had I enjoyed the comfort of unlocking and rooting. I need that again.

You can't unlock the bootloader of an AT&T Moto X 2014 no matter what version of Android you are running. You need to sell it and buy the Pure Edition if you want to unlock the bootloader.
