Why is every stock ROM for every variant but the gsm model? And to flash those do I need to be on a stock ROM first? Every time I try I get a status 7 error

Same question here buddy... I haven't been able to put my research on practice yet, but from the little research I did here, I was going to do this first (reported to also work on 1053 GSM T-Mobile variant:
[STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS] Unlocking and Rooting a Dev Ed Moto X Running Kit Kat
And then run this ROM that also works on 1053 GSM T-mobile, and doesn't remove its real Active Notifications like other roms do:
T-Mobile/GSM Moto X test build
Don't flash the Verizon or Retail variant that thread has (Don't know what they mean by retail version of this phone). The only downside is that the GSM build of that ROM doesn't seem to get updated as often.
Lastly, after doing the above, if I could just have a way to properly have tethering/hotspot hack, I would be so happy.
Is that the eclipse ROM? That's the one I can't get to install. Currently on cm nightlies but I'm tired of things now working

Hello all,
I am about to take the plug in the Moto X world and have a couple questions. I live in the Great White North (i.e. Canada) so the only available version I can easily get my hands on is the Rogers version. My question is will I be able to use it on Rogers if I flash the Developer edition ROM. Will the developer edition ROM even work on a Rogers Moto X?
Thanks and much appreciated!
Yes, it will work fine as long as you have unlocked the bootloader. You will lose band 7 LTE (2600 Mhz) if you use the full developer edition firmware however you can flash the developer edition firmware and then flash just the modem from the Brazil 4.4 release and it will be restored. This is what I have been running for a while now on two Rogers XT1058s and it is working extremely well. Mine are sim unlocked and running on Koodo.
Thanks for the info! Sorry to ask such a noob question but where can I download the Dev edition firmware? I can't seem to find it. Also can you let me know where I can get the Brazil modem?
Much appreciated!!

Just curious, why would you need the dev edition ROM on the Rogers X? It has an unlockable bootloader, is extremely easy to root, and you can remove any extra apps Rogers puts on it? What's the advantage to using the dev edition ROM?

Here's the Dev edition firmware i.e. T-Mobile (Developer Edition GSM) - XT1053:

Hello all,
I flashed a T-mobile 4.4.4 ROM onto my AT&T 4.4.4 Moto X today to test it. I've since reverted back to my AT&T 4.4.4.
My question to you...is there any real benefit over the T-mobile ROM, other than little to no bloatware?
Pros, or Cons?
I found that my 4g LTE was working, and WiFi too. Everything seemed to work. IDK about Wi-Fi calling?
Thanks
Where did you find 4.4.4 for T-Mobile? I thought the latest was 4.4.3.
I flashed my brother's nandroid, and did a factory reset on it afterwards. It worked fine, but I want to know if there is any real benefit. :good:
Thanks
Was this to one with a locked bootloader? I'm assuming not.
I unlocked my bootloader on my XT1058...Just wanted to know if there were pros, or cons to using a T-mobile ROM on my AT&T X.
Would WiFi calling work? I'm assuming not, as it's based on carriers network, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

If you have T-Mobile version switch back to stock using motox toolkit.. Now you will be on stock 4.4.3 and then go to settings -system update.. You will see update to 4.4.4 ..its not a major updates it also SSL fix regarding to heartbleed bug

Since the verizon model is now bootloader-unlocked and twrp is installable, i was wondering how well the roms made for the pure edition fare on the verizon model. Will i still be able to get verizon cell and data coverage?
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk
I don't think that any of the roms currently support verizon cdma. So you will have to wait till they make support for it.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
Oh ok, sucks to be on a cdma network
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk
What about using the XT1096 with a pure edition ROM on T-Mobile or AT&T?
That will work because those are GSM not CDMA.

Can I get a clarification? Just got a Verizon Moto X 2014 as my upgrade (ploy to keep Unlimited Data). I am on an LG G3, rooted, yadda yadda.
I wish to give my girlfriend the Moto X for her AT&T account. I know that she technically can use it for voice and 3G data as is. Can I root, install TWRP or CM bootloader and flash a Pure Edition or AT&T ROM to get LTE on AT&T? Continuing compatibility to CDMA is not required.
Thanks!

CM's 12.1 works fine on the xt1096 on Verizon. I doubt the Motorola pure rom would work properly.

If the new moto x 2014 you just got from verizon is on android 5.1 then no, you can't get root, bootloader unlocked, twrp, nor custom roms. The 5.1 verizon rom is tightly locked down and currently we have no way to do any of those things.

Motorola and Verizon have stated that they will not update the XT1096 to MM or 6.x so there is no "official" Marshmallow firmware from Motorola for this phone.
You can find an 99% stock MM ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-xt1096-verizon-flashable-stock-rom-t3327345. Please read the full thread and ask questions there about this ROM. Some people - including me - are using it as their daily driver with little to no issues. This ROM has all the Motorola apps (Voice, Display, etc.) working as expected from a stock ROM.
Another option CM13. Read this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/orig-development/rom-official-cm-13-0-nightly-releases-t3256580/post65781867#post65781867. CM13 works on the XT1096 and other CM13-based ROMs should work but you will need to verify by reading their threads. Please be sure to read the full thread and ask questions there about CM13 or in the other threads related to other ROMs.
This is assuming that you are on the Verizon network and want to keep CDMA functionality. If you are using this phone on a GSM network and do not care to keep the CDMA access then you might want to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
All of the options above require that you have an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked please go here to learn about unlocking it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/motorola-unlocking-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3291104
Please read and learn as much as you can. Most - if not all - of your questions will be answered by reading through the threads listed.
XT1085
Hello everyone,
I'm currently using the moto X 2nd generation bought in china (XT1085) running android 5.0.2.
I would like to get rid of the retcn version of the system because I don't speak chinese for a retEU or retUS and install android 6 MM. Is it possible?
My phone is rooted and TWRP recovery installed
I tried to install this version : Version 6, because one guy wrote on the topic that it worked on TX1085 but it failed for me, and my phone stayed on the Motorola launching screen.
So now I'm back with the factory setup and would like to now how to install android 6.0?
Thanks

How to unlock Motorola Moto X 2nd gen. bootloader?
Hey Guys! I have a locked motorola moto x 2nd gen, verizon variant (xt1096). I want to unlock its bootloader for upgrading to marshmallow (6.0), tried to unlock through Motorola's website, but my phone's not eligible for it. So is there any other way to unlock bootloader.
Hi,
As per title, what is the most up to date and easiest way to unroot and install a kitkat custom rom on a locked motoX 2nd gen (2014) with marshmallow 6.0?
My 2 years warranty is running out and am fedup with marshmallow. I'd like to go back to kitkat.
By the way what kitkat rom would you recommend?
Many thanks
Luca
done with issues
I did this from moto x 2014 xt1097 to xt1095 KitKat 4.4.4.
only issue is cellular stuck in radio mode so cant make calls or use data. hopefully can figure that out soon. I think I just need to find Canadian versions of modem files (for bell?).
only issue I cant remember how I did it!!!
83 hours on a next to bricked moto x 2014 and I was in "i don't care anymore mode" and was just downloading and flashing random stuff. give me a few days to figure out what I did so I know who to give thanks and credit to before I start linking other developers work.
Thanks, never mind I found what I want in a custom 6.0.1 ROM.
Best of luck with your smartphone
