My X is with ATT, just unlocked it. Now I am about to move Europe working in both Germany and Spain. Can anyone tell me if/how I can receive OTA updates? If I use any local carrier and receive ATT OTA update, will I brick my phone? Thanks!

Can someone help me out please? How to receive/update an unlocked ATT Moto X in Europe?
HAVE ATT Moto x überhaupt got the OTA update to 4.4..2 yet?
Otherwise; same boat here, waiting for OTA update, unlocked ATT Moto x, used in the Netherlands..
You will receive the AT&T update no matter the carrier you use the phone with, it is safe and no problem.

I was wondering if there was a way to change my moto x xt1058 (currently with 4.4.2 Movistar Argentina) to an international or carrier free firmware?
I looked up in the firmware link from motorola and there seems it doesnt exist a 4.4.4 update, yet for the moto G it doesnt either but my brother currently have his on 4.4.4
Thanks in advance guys
AFAIK there's no international or carrier-free firmware per-se. You may want an AOSP-based ROM like SlimROM, DirtyUnicorns, etc.
You can flash a bloatware free version, though, but it will still be based on some carrer's ROM.
As of today, only Verizon has released its official 4.4.4 and will be full of bloatware also.
fortunately my phone came bloatware-free.
So the only 4.4.4 update out there is Verizon's?
My idea was to flash a firmware from which i would be able to get the earliest OTAs

Not only is this very risky (flashing another carrier's ROM), but also it doesn't mean that you'll get updates quickly at all!
In the case of the Moto X, Motorola has staggered the updates across all carriers. The camera update came first for 1 carrier. Then the 4.4 update came first for a different carrier. The 4.4.2 update was first for yet another carrier. The 4.4.3 update came first for the XT1053, and the 4.4.4 update came first for Verizon. There is nothing you can do to make sure you receive updates "earliest" - unless you switch carrier ROMS each time a new update is released. Not only is this ill-advised, but it could leave you with an expensive paperweight.
My advise is be patient. Your carrier WILL get it soon.
Is it just me or has Moto never rolled out 4.4.4 to the unlocked GSM editions? My mom bought an unlocked phone straight from Motorola and yet she's still on 4.4.3. We're using the phone on T-Mobile if that makes a difference.

It's not just you. T mobile version got 4.4.3. A bug was found after they started rolling it out, so they fixed it for the other models (that's the main difference between 4.4.3 and 4.4.4). Most of the other features/upgrades were included in 4.4.3, so they didn't make updating the t-mobile edition a priority. It'll probably get it after they finish all of the others are done unless android L is ready to go by then, in which case, it'll probably just get that.
Moto X 4.4.4 Official T-Mobile Firmware
My Moto X got messed up after some rooting and flashing...
I would like to request the official T-Mobile US firmware on sbf.droid-developers.
Thanks a bunch!

Oops, looks like the site is down.
I got 4.4.4 just a week ago on Dev Edition
I got 4.4.4 just a week ago on Dev Edition, although its not TMobile,
So might be possible, yours on the way.:good:
4.4.4 for t-mobile version (any XT1053 model) was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Go to settings/about phone/system updates and you should update if you have a factory phone - if you have unlocked or rooted, go back to factory spec before trying to update.
I have an AT&T Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. Android L is coming out, and I wanted to know if it's possible to convert my AT&T device to the international model, in order to receive updates more quickly.
For example, if I flash the XT1053 software, which according to Wikipedia is the "GSM Unlocked US, GSM Dev Edition US, Nextel México" edition, on my XT1058, will it work, and more importantly, will I receive OTAs designated for the XT1053? Thanks.
So I've had the moto G (2014) for a month now and for some reason I can't detect the latest build version or the lollipop update. My sister has a slightly newer build but she didn't get lollipop either.
Thanks in advance peeps!

Which model do you have? I don't think XT1068 has gotten the Lollipop OTA yet. If you're on XT1064, you can side-load the OTA via ADB.

I just snooped the forums for a quick bit. Sadly Lollipop has not come to the XT1063 yet.
Just in case; I don't recommend you sideload the XT1064 OTA. There have been people complaining in the XT1064 OTA post that functionality was lost since they have a different model.
However, according to this post; Lollipop works. If you decide to use this method, be aware you are flashing a XT1064 OTA on a XT1063 phone. "I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO FLASH STOCK LOLLIPOP ROM OF DIFFERENT MOTO G VARIANT. " -AD9295
I suggest you just wait it out; as painful as it may be.

Oh i wasnt planning to flash it anyway, I am too much of a phone noob that i fear i might brick the phone, I was just worried that it might be my device's fault.
I can't get mine to find the update either. XT1064, locked bootloader, completely stock on 21.11.17 in the U.S. Phone just says software is up to date.

Is it a retail, simlock free, device? Or did you buy it with a provider contract? In the last case you'll have to wait for your provider...

Completely unlocked and bought off of Amazon, I'm actually using it outside of the US at the moment.

Purchased unlocked directly from Motorola. Using it on an AT&T MVNO.

Looked it up in the Amazon store: they're selling 2 variants: the US version and the international version. The US version should have the update by now. The International version has to wait.
What version do you have?
XT1063 Global GSM Single SIM
XT1064 US/Canada GSM Single SIM
XT1068 Global GSM Dual-SIM
XT1069 GSM+GSM+DTV Dual-SIM, Brazil model supporting DTV
As far as I know only the XT1064 has the official Lollipop update by now!
If you bought the "global" version, you probably have the XT1063...
Mine (I'm from Europe) is the XT1068. So i'll have to wait too...
I just acquired this phone, and imagine my surprise at finding that if you have the AT&T version with the August 2016 security update, you're basically screwed. Just wondering if there's been any recent success with this. I've been doing a lot of reading, but it seems there's been nothing new posted about it for a while. Curious as to whether anyone's been working on this issue or if it's a lost cause. I've tried the Kingroot methods and whatnot, nothing seems to work, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks.
Are you from the UK?

I am not.
France?
The reason i am asking is i see a lot of new XT1097's on eBay in the UK. I think these can upgrade to MM but i think the bootloader is locked. I really want a Moto X 2nd gen but if i cannot unlock the bootloader without paying $25 then I'm out.
No. I'm in the US. The issue is that AT&T branded 1097's are unable to have the bootloader unlocked without being rooted, and there is currently no working root method if you have accepted the most recent security updates.
Does anyone know if the EU and South American XT1097's than have been updated to MM have an unlocked bootloader?

The AT&T XT1097 is the only remaining edition which does not qualify for bootloader unlocking, and it has no MM update.
So if these XT1097's have been updated to MM, then they can't be the AT&T edition, and they must be unlockable through the official Motorola procedure.
