Hello, I did not know where exactly to post this thread, but this seems to be the best place. I have a Moto X from C Spire (previously Cellular South), and it's model number is XT1049. I have tried the Republic Wireless version of the stock XT1049 ROM, but it didn't work. I was just wondering if anybody had a ROM that is stock/close to stock that will work on a C Spire-issued Moto X.
Thanks,
Intrepit
ROMs for your phone are available here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
4.2.2 is Jelly Bean, 4.4.2 is Kit Kat. If you want to root it install 4.2.2.
If you install 4.4.2 you will have a locked bootloader that cannot be downgraded to JB later. If you take specific steps to make a Franken-ROM that can have write protection disabled and runs with the 4.2.2 bootloader you can have Kit Kat. You will have to decide if you think it's worth it. From my perspective KK isn't that big a deal, but I had a lot of fun doing it and learned a few things along the way. YMMV.

What I meant was like flashable zips, not firmwares. Im making a ROM for me and a friend that doesn't take away from the Moto X's primary features, thats why I needed a close-to-stock ROM.
Also, Im running KK (4.4.2) rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Just so you know, if you're on 4.4.2 with an unlocked boot loader, you still can't downgrade . the brick risk is the same, locked or unlocked.
For the record.

I'm a bit confused on the vzw moto x. Here's why-
My brother has the razor m. Well roms are only avialable if u didn't take the ota. Cause the ota locked the bootloader and every rom dev is still only making roms for the unlocked bootloader. They are not making roms for the locked bootloader. And i Don't want to be in that situation.
And the moto x just had a ota to.
So is there roms for the vzw moto x after the ota, or only before the ota?
One person said I had to get the developers edition (I think)..well Iwent to vzw and the sales rep said they don't carry a developers edition, and that he said "Idont think there is one for this phone".
So what's the deal abt roming a vzw moto x? I know very well abt safestrap, and twrp and that roms are only compatible with one another and not both...
Thanks

Before the update you can root and load safestrap, after the update you are screwed (there are some caveats but that's the basic consensus).
Big Red sales reps want to sell you a phone they have, why would they direct you to Motorola to buy a phone? http://www.motorola.com/us/shop-all...Verizon/moto-x-developer-edition-verizon.html
650$!!!!! Is there no way to get it at an upgrade price? That's fn crazy

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

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

I don't feel like finding the posts, but others have reported success being on 4.4.2, reflashing 4.4 system + recovery, and taking the 4.4->4.4.2 OTA without problems
i'm sorry if this sounds stupid but i did look very hard and can't find this simple answer
i have a locked xt1058 which is rooted at 4.4.
kind of sick of waiting for ATT to release 4.4.2 and i have been wondering if i can actually change roms or is root all i can achieve?
There are a few Roms, but not many, and they come with some glitches.
4.4.2 won't change your life....personally I'd wait.

Please excuse if this has been beaten to death. I've spent the last hour reading and reading an I've just gotten confused. I was heavily into the Android world for quite a while but have been out of it for a couple years. I bought my son a Droid Mini which from what I understand is pretty much the same thing as a Moto X. In the settings menu it says Android Version 4.4 Kernal Version 3.4.42-gfae57e0. I just need to root it. I'm not concerned about flashing ROMs, just need root for an app that requires it. Is it possible or do I need to get a different phone? I must have a root. Again please excuse the noob question but I've gotten a headache trying to make heads or tales of it.

No it is not possible to root 4.4 however you have an option there is a guy in China selling bootlloader unlock codes I bought mine and unlocked there are several threads on this site so check it out. The other option is to return the phone and get one you can root or a dev model.

Under Android version it says 4.4. But is also says no software updates are available.... Kernal version says 3.4.42 that makes a difference. Guess the question is do I have 4.4 or 4.4.2. If .2 is the latest it should show under updates correct? Or maybe not since it's a Mini and not an X?

Don't give this guy false hope without reading the OP. He does not have a moto x, He has a droid mini. The droid line cannot be downgraded from 4.4 to 4.2.2, thus his only option is to use the shady Chinese unlockers.

You should get your rooting advice from this area of the forums, it will more closly resemble the options you have available to your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra
VZW droid mini ,ultra, and maxx are all still on 4.4. They cannot be downgraded due to verizon locking the bootloader. You will get confused answers from the moto x owners, as they could downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2.2 and then keep root using some trickery.
While it is true that this trickery would work to on your droid mini if you hadnt yet updated to 4.4, there is no way to revert to 4.2.2 on your device. your best option getting an unlock code from a 3rd party (this voids your warranty)
consider if it is worth it to you
Good luck,
You can't root 4.4 the droid line doesn't have 4.4.2 yet so your on 4.4.
As for the guys being shady selling the code that is absolutely false. Many have bought the code they are very accommodating and helpful. As a matter of fact a few were not able to get the code for what ever reason and were refunded the money. As far as I'm concerned if you want root unlock the boot loader it ain't coming anytime soon.
And further questions should be asked in the ultra section the ultra maxx and mini are the same. The moto x is 99.9% the same but as you can see there are a few differences like they can downgrade 4.4.
As a matter of fact I'm typing this on my maxx running 4.4.2 ported from a moto x. That is what you can do with an unlocked boot loader.
It is possible! I am now the owner of a fully rooted Droid Mini XT1030 running stock 4.4. It took buying a code from the Chinese tab site and a whole lot of help from NWKENT. He should be nominated for some kind of an award. He took the time on a Sunday morning to talk me through it on the phone. He's a saint in my book.
Hello everyone,
I have several Verizon variants of the Moto x (XT1096) all on stock 4.4.4. In all of them I am offered the OTA to 5.0.2 which is 678MB. I don't want to download sooo much times the same OTA for each one. Is there a way to capture the OTA to apply it to the rest of the cellphones?
Thanks in advance!

You can use Motorola Device Manager to update your phone from your PC or Mac. More info at the Motorola site: How do I update the software on my phone or tablet using a USB cable? There is a link on that page for the software download page.

I thought 5.02 was the current Verizon version. I just got my XT1096 a week ago from Asurion as a replacement for a dropped XT1060Dev. It had 5.02 installed when I got it. The fxz from which we have made our mofo images is 5.02. I had presumed that the 2nd gen MotoX (which I wasn't following closely until very recently) had gotten its 5.02 update a while ago and the OP of this thread had just not taken it.

You're right, I stand corrected. I really thought when I got this phone last week that I looked and it said 5.0.2 With the previous 1st gen MotoX I was running cm 12.1 which was 5.1 Lollipop and had previously been 5.0.2 so that might be where my confusion come from as well.

The first generation Moto X (2013) are still on 4.4.4. They are getting 5.1 soon though, probably sooner than the MX14 b/c I suspect Verizon is not going to give the MX13 HD Calling so it will be a quicker process for Verizon to test the OTA for the MX13. It really sucks if the MX13 won't get HD Calling but Verizon is not giving the iP5s HD Calling so I doubt that the MX13 will get it either. Also, if you noticed the announcement of the 5.1 update for the MX14 did not include the Verizon XT1096, just TMobile, AT&T and PE. I am sure that is due to Verizon.
Anyhow, the reason I asked this is b/c if the OP is being offered a 5.0.2 update, I doubt he has a Verizon SIM card in his phone. If it is the 5.0 OTA, then yes, but 5.0.2 no. I don't know what would happen if he tried to take a 5.0.2 OTA on a Verizon MX14. I worry that he would brick but maybe it would check the model number and then abort the installation.

Yes, I'm watching that. Since the XT1096 is still a current Verizon phone, hopefully they won't hold it up too long!
