Mirror to dev factory img?

Hey guys. So I got my dev edition today and of course, while trying to root it I broke it and can't get out of fastboot.
I'm trying to download the gsm factory img, but i'm still waiting on the download link from Moto. Anyone have a mirror?

Thanks for the reply. But the Dev edition isn't on that list.
Kinda starting to freak out at the moment.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php

Ok. I feel like a dumbass right now. ON that whole list, I don't see any dev edition model. Am I supposed to just flash the Tmo one?

Yes, they are identical, tmobile uses the "retail" non branded version of firmware, same as the dev edition.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
I'm trying to add the file to RSDlite and it's saying it failed to create and that the file path was too long.
Any thoughts?

Can I use the Factory image from Motorola?
Hi Guys,
I've got the Fido/Rogers Moto x.
With a unlocked boot loader could I flash the GSM factory image from Motorola?
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
KK 4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2 (Retail)
Thank you

Yep! There is chance you may lose band 7 LTE support though.

I know I'm a little late to this thread, but I can confirm that the T-mobile 4.4 retail version works flawlessly on Rogers Moto X with unlocked bootloader. LTE appears to be working fine with 50Mbps DL speed which is what I was getting on stock Rogers as well. Everything seems to be in order.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread to help me learn

[Q] What are the advantages of Dev Edition?

What are the advantages, if any, of the Moto X Developer Edition? Right now it is a $50 premium for the dev edition, but if I can accomplish the same thing on my own with a regular Moto X, is it really worth the extra $50?

the only thing you will see is it allows you to unlock the bootloader which makes rooting possible on all OTA's because you can just flash a customer recovery.
also when you unlock the bootloader on a consumer Moto X you void warranty when you do it on a DE Moto X it dose not.

Also, you get 32gb vs 16gb of storage.

The Dev Edition is also 32 GB, so it's actually the same price as the 32 GB carrier edition.

Can you do a full nandroid on the regular edition?
Also, I've read on twitter the non-dev edition may be locked down for good on 4.4.2.
If you want root, you may as well get the Dev edition to guarantee it.

If you don't care about the astheitcs then yes it's worth it!! You get an unlocked bootloader ANd Motorola will still backup up the warranty. As to what extent they will back the warranty you would have to ask customer service.
Hope that helps

No we are not locked in anymore than you are , the new bootloader 30.b4 can not be downgrade , that goes also for developer editions
There's no differences between de and regular editions with a unlocked booloader. The differences are the warranty, our warranty is void as soon as we unlock as yours is still valid
Firmware is exactly the same

The bigger question would be why would someone want to downgrade the firmware as each new firmware release "upgrades" the bootloader. So it appears that once you accept a firmware update on your phone there's no going back. If there is something about the update you can't tolerate you appeared to be screwed, even with a dev ed. At least that's what I'm piecing together. I have a VZ dev ed and will try to flash the modem and system files to see what happens when 4.4.2 comes out as I'd like to keep my options open if for some reason I want to downgrade. FWIW, I've been on android since the original droid and never felt compelled to downgrade but like the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing that I can if I want.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

4.4.2 isn't out on vzw yet? When it does come out, it sounds like it should be possible to flash it without flashing the bootloader? What effect does the bootloader have on custom roms?
Sorry for some of the newb questions, but my Galaxy Nexus didn't have any issues/concerns with the bootloader that I'm aware of. It was just flash whatever and go.

Ok forget about any former product you've had previously.
Moto is completely different when it comes to boot loaders.

No. That is an example of why you shouldn't try to downgrade your bootloader. That person's problem was NOT that he was running an old system. It was that he was running a two-versions-old system and then tried to take an OTA meant to upgrade a bootloader from two-versions-old to one-version-old (i.e. 4.2.2 bootloader to 4.4 bootloader but he was already running 4.4.2 bootloader) -- which all translates into he was (however inadvertently) trying to downgrade his bootloader from 4.4.2 version to 4.4

Once you unlock the bootloader (via Moto's web site), you can flash custom roms and such.
That being said, if your question is.. Can I flash a ROM for the XT1053 to my Verizon XT1060, I would say, try not to, but if you do, only flash SYSTEM.IMG, nothing else. I've seen issues of flashing roms meant for other carriers and trying to revert to the original carrier's rom.

Flashing XT1097 Radio (with more LTE Bands support) on XT1095 (Pure Edition)?

Hey guys...
I'm wondering if it's possible to flash the radio files from XT1097 into XT1095.
Since they are the same hardware, according to FCC documents, could it be done?
Would it enable the 3 LTE bands that were disabled on the Pure Edition?

I second that question. Is it possible?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

3rd to that. If you have the radio I'll test it

Assuming you're unlocked and made modifications to the system already, you can either go back to stock and wait for the OTA or wait for a 95 user to extract it. Us 97 users would be no help, atm.

[Q] Converting xt1097 to pure edition

Have you tried unlocking your bootloader? It seems to me the Telus version is pretty much a Pure Edition, except for the model number... BTW does it have any TELUS bloatware at all?
FYI I believe the 1095 has different frequency bands.
Sent from my Moto X

I have not because as far as i understood the method was exclusively for the xt1095 but I'll give it a shot.
As far as bloatware, the only thing Telus installed on this phone is their "My Account" app. It's an app that you can download from the play store.
It's interesting to see the marketing used on Telus' website to describe the Moto X. The catchphrases are: "Pure Style, Pure performance" and then "Pure Android with the quickest updates". It leads me to believe that Telus will pretty much push out updates as they recieve them from Moto.
I'll be less inclined to root and flash if I see that I get timely updates, after using galaxy phones and flashing for the past 5 years i just want something that works great or of the box.

Jeremie

I have XT1093 (US Cellular). The Pure Edition root method works for all variants with unlockable bootloaders. The key is to follow the directions completely. As it only BOOTS the system image rather than INSTALLS the image, it works fine. Boots the image once, installs SU to your system, then reboots to your system.

Then restored my EFS from my TWRP backup.
