[Q] Flashing KitKat on a Moto X with 139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR

Hello!
I'm currently stationed in Singapore and bought a Moto X about a month or so ago from eBay. While I am anxiously waiting for my Moto X to receive the 4.4 update, I realised that the system version (after the previous camera update) is 139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR, which I found to be a Latin America version after some searching on the forums and Googling here and there.
I also found this thread, where OP said that they can be flashed over to either the T-Mobile version. Does this continue to work for the 4.4 updates by T-Mobile or AT&T, and would there be anything else required for flashing? (I saw something about flashing new radios and all, but was quite confused by contradicting explanations and suggestions :/)
Thanks in advance!
// EDIT:
To add on after a bit of searching, I realised that I am allowed to unlock my bootloader, despite claims from the original retailer on eBay that the phone came from AT&T (which is notorious, even here, for their stance on bootloader unlocking). What gives?

I got the same Moto X from a buddy yesterday. I did a lot of searching and also discovered the thread about the phone being flashed to t- mobile.
I fooled the steps on another thread titled " Return to stock 100%" out something like that...
I downloaded the correct Att firmware and with the use of RSDLite, I successfully flashed my Moto X to ATT.... it took less than 10 minutes. And as soon as it booted up, I got hit with the "update available" message ( kit Kat)

Thanks for the information!
I've successfully upgraded my phone to the Verizon version (minus all the bloatware that I hastily blasted off), with root and TWRP. So this is what I did, for future reference:
It seems that AmericaMovil versions are not bound by the AT&T's locked bootloader policies, and other Latin America versions are probably free from the restriction too. So I managed to get my hands on the Motorola Fastboot and unlocked my bootloader. TWRP was installed (remember to use 2.6.3.1 and above for 4.4 support), and then flashed the Verizon system dump available here. Root was installed by TWRP.
After getting on the device and setting things up, I rebooted to recovery to remove lots of bloatware (available in /system/app and /system/priv-app). Had to remove some of them through Titanium Backup as the file names were not always indicative that it came from Verizon. I made the extra step of killing the god-awful boot animation that they had by replacing it with this.
And... that concludes my experience with this, I suppose.

I've been looking through a few threads and I am not comfortable enough to flash the T-Mobile rom over my AmericanMovil one yet.
I can't seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this.. Would anyone like to explain it from the ground up?
My understanding
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash a recovery like twrp or cmw
3) flash the rom that is given in the OG post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477180
4) this should now give us the t-mobile version of things and we should be able to do the standard OTA from there?
[Q] So can this all be done without ever having to root the phone?

I'm not too sure whether flashing via TWRP/CMW will allow you to get OTA, unfortunately. Which is why I went straight for the Verizon system dump. But yes, you can change firmware without ever having to root the phone. Heck, I think there's a guide on restoring mentioned by @plmiller0905 below that will allow you to do it without unlocking the bootloader, even.

I believe the bootloader does have to be unlocked in order to flash a different firmware.

Yeah after doing so more reading.. (at least the way I'm willing to do it) is to just unlock my bootloader and then using RSD Lite (Which i still have no idea what that is / where it is) flash an SBF found here (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php)
I guess following this video somewhat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr0JHSAXJDI#t=15
Does that sound right?
Should I flash the TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17-57_MR1_CFC.xml.zip
Or just jump straight to the 4.4 version TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_CFC.xml.zip
??

As far as I know, the use of RSD Lite doesn't require an unlocked bootloader (at least, that's what it shows in the video you showed me anyway), especially since these are images supposedly signed by Motorola themselves. Let me know if you've found something else?
As for your question on which to flash... I'm not sure, but you'd skip a lot of the hassle if you could flash 4.4 straight, so how about trying that?

Rsdlite is a shell for a flash boot flash supposedly with an XML doing all the steps together. Just makes it easier.
You need unlocked boot loader only to flash an image that doesn't match your current boot loader. So if you have a. At&t phone you can only flash at&t images by rsdlite. But if you unlock your amerimovil phone you can flash any xt1058 image I think. So amerimovil could take say a rogers or at&t or telcel image. Not sure if T-Mobile image will work on a full rsdlite flash as it is an xt1053 image. I think you can flash most of a T-Mobile image by twrp but not by rsdlite not sure

So if I flash the at&t image found here (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php), would it come pre-loaded with all the bloatware AT&T has even though I'm not using AT&T network?

yes of course. think about it like if you took a dell windows 7 install CD , and put it on an HP. all the dell customizations would still be there.
obviously since you have unlocked bootloader, once you do the RSDlite you can always flash twrp, and superuser, and delete all that stuff. but then you wouldn't get updates again. i dont think the at&t image is really THAT bad. though i've heard the rogers one is better (though maybe not 4.4 yet)

Yeah unfortunately that's what I thought. Hence why I would of liked to flash the t-mobile image but I'm going to hold off until someone that is a bit more adb savvy then myself tries it out. I wouldn't know what to do if I ended up soft bricking my phone

Well it didn't take long to try it out myself...
It worked out!
I used this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
I downloaded the Tmobile 4.4 Image and used RSD.
All you have to do is unlock your BL. (Note: I was completely bone stock with NO root and NO special recovery like CMW or TWRP)
Have all the proper drivers installed, enable USB debugging in developer settings on the phone
Go into Fastboot on the phone
Plug in the phone and just follow the video
I do not take any responsibitliy if you brick your phone. It is fairly easy process and took only a few mins.
Hope this helps!

I've been doing some research on this since yesterday and I've been hesitant on doing it. I saw in your last post that you successfully flashed the TMO 4.4 ROM on your AmericaMovil phone, so I have a few questions for you before I go ahead and do the same:
1. Can you please confirm that your model is XT1058 and not XT1053?
2. Does the TMO ROM have the TMO boot logo and any TMO bloatware?
3. Does the TMO ROM have the Tethering & portable hotspot option under Settings > More?
4. Does the TMO ROM have the Mass Storage option under Settings > Storage > | > USB computer connection?
5. Have you been having any radio problems since you flashed the TMO ROM?
I wonder if I install the ROM in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477180 using RSDLite, would I get the OTA update to 4.4? The reason I want to install this ROM is because it only flashes system and boot.img without flashing bootloader, modem, logo etc... and I know the XT1058 radio is different from the XT1053 radio, so I've been reluctant to flash a full XT1053 ROM on my XT1058 phone.
But what I also would like to know is if an OTA update would flash a full ROM or not. In other words, if I flash the ROM above and then OTA update to 4.4 and the OTA update flashes the full ROM including the radio, I might as well flash the full 4.4 immediately.
What do you or anyone else think?

I'll answer to the best of my ability. heh

Mine was an XT1058, and has been flashed to XT1060. (I didn't notice that T-Mo had a 4.4 ROM on the list, so I went straight for the flashable ZIP for Verizon instead. silly me.)

At least according to this article, the TMO version shouldn't have any bloatware.

There's no reason why there shouldn't be; I'm seeing it on my Verizon version.

I can't say for sure if you'll face any problems, but I flashed the T-Mo radio provided here with my Verizon ROM, and I had no problems connecting to my network in Singapore.

I can't answer the rest unfortunately. Sorry. Hope I've helped.

Thank you for your answers!
Regarding Mass Storage, the reason I'm asking is because I don't have it on my AmericaMovil ROM.

The ROM is basically exactly what you get when you buy the T-Mobile version.
I figured the radios are nearly identical from the AT&T version and the T-Mobile version so my XT1058 is running on the XT1053 radios. There is no bloatware. tethering is there but I'm not sure if t-mobile will allow it. There is NO tmobile logo that comes up on boot. USB connect to computer is there.
As for the radio section again.. I was getting only EDGE in my house before I switched to this ROM (Meaning when I was on the ORIGINAL XT1058 image) and I am still getting only EDGE in my house.. Unfortunately I haven't left my house since yesterday flashing the image but when I'll be back at work in NYC and should see '4G/LTE' over there.
We'll see.

I've always been on T-mobile network. Both when i was on original XT1058 AmericanMovil system version and still on T-mobile when I switched the image to XT1053.
Back on my Nexus 4 though.. I would have HSPA+ in my house.. So I thought it was a bit odd that as soon as I received this phone that I wasn't getting anything other than EDGE..

Upgrading AT&T HTC One from 4.3 to newest 4.4.3 OTA while out of country

Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice here on how I can get my HTC One up to the newest Android version without wiping any data or installing any roms, unlocking, etc.
Currently I am living in Germany and using a SIM unlocked HTC One on the Congstar (T-Mobile) network. I was able to wipe the phone and use a RUU to get it from 4.1.2 up to 4.3 but for some reason I can't get the OTA update to work with my current SIM to get it from 4.3 to the newest version.
I have a second HTC One which has been my main phone here in Germany for the past year, and I have been using Congstar, a company of T-Mobile, as my provider. Back a few months ago when 4.4.3 was released, the update was pushed to my phone no problem and my old HTC One is currently running 4.4.3
The current phone I just started using was on a brand new install of 4.3, which I put in the SIM card, setup the APN settings and it was working fine. I went to do the update, and nothing happened as no updates were found.
I will be back in the states here in a few weeks, so as a last resort I was going to stop by AT&T with a SIM card from AT&T from someone who is a customer and ask if they can automatically push the new update to me, by then perhaps 5.0 - I have read this is possible. Does this seem a feasible "backup" option to wait and do?
In the meanwhile, Is there a way that I can somehow push this update now? It seems that it worked on my last phone automatically, but I can't get the new one to pickup this OTA update even when they are both unlocked.
Many thanks for your help.

1. ATT_OTA.4.18.502.7.firmware.zip

Thank you for the reply - I'm looking to avoiding flashing and trying to push OTA because I've tried everything and can't get this PC to recognize the device via USB... Also, it's the only pc I have available at the moment.

[Q] Unlocked AT&T device. Will it get the Lollipop Update?

Hello. I have a Galaxy S5 from AT&T, but it's unlocked and I'm using it with another carrier (I'm in Argentina). Will I get the update? I didn't get it so far and when I try to manually update from System Update and Kies. I'm worried that I won't get it because it's an unlocked phone.
Do I just have to wait or there is a different procedure for unlocked devices? Thanks in advance!

Same here I have carrier unlocked s5 active g870a at&t and no at&t support here in India .....still on 4.4.2 Stock and didn't get OTA update 4.4.4 and I am sure will not get 5.0 lollipop either. ..kies is not updating my device.....so where can I download 5.0 official at&t update flashable ZIP folder....wherever it's available. .....because I couldn't find 4.4.4 official at&t flashable ZIP folder update till now....thanks in advance

Either way, the 5.0 update is not out yet for the S5 Active....we're still waiting.

I don't know what is S5 Active. My phone is SM-G900A and I've read that it got the update this week (sorry, I can't add a link because I'm a new user).
If I won't get the update because I'm not using AT&T, what can I do? I don't want to root and flash a rom.

Do you know if the same happens if you downgrade to KitKat (4.4.2 or 4.4.4) because I've found a tutorial to downgrade (mine is in 5.0) to get better battery life and root capabilities.
thanks in advance:good:

No, you can't downgrade anyway. I'm afraid, you can get a brick. So, I highly don't recommend you to try downgrade. Or wait for the guide, how-to downgrade.
I'm on 5.1.1 and I don't like it, because it works slower then 5.0. But I don't want to get a brick if I try to downgrade.

XT1056 Lollipop - need help

I've been googling around and reading threads ... want to get Lollipop on my Sprint Moto X.
But quite confused by all the different versions.
Currently I have
- unlocked bootloader
- rooted
- TWRP recovery
- unlocked by Sprint for Int'l use
And this:
Code:
baseband
MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.038.123.00R
Kernel 3.4.42-gcac35be
[email protected] #1
HW version
P30
System version
212.44.28.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US
Build number
KXA21.12-L1.28
I do NOT care about every using Sprint again; I just want to be able to use GSM SIM in Europe.
If someone could please verify what I've gleaned ...
As I understand, I would need to
1. Flash the XT1053 4.4.4 from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/64a43f0fcc1e/Moto_X/Official_XT1053/
I do this from TWRP, yes?
2. Then flash a XT1053 5.0 or 5.1 from ... where?
Can I use this Verizon one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/vzw-5-1-soak-ota-t3144689
.... if I flash a Verizon 4.4.4?
3. Then I would need to re-unlock for int'l SIM ... as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
But only change the NV-ITEM thing, not the SPC thing?
Or do I do that BEFORE flashing Lollipop?
Again, I do NOT care about every using CDMA/Sprint again.
But I do want GSM SIM with LTE in Europe.
Thanks!

There is no updates until now, you can get some info in here
also its able to flash any custom ROM like CM12.1 or any other via recovery

Any news?
Hi, did you try anything?
I have XT1049, manually flashed it to 5.1 with XT1056 rom, it worked fine, but than I installed another update to fix stagefright and since than phone does not detect sim card, you can read my whole story here
I just wanted to know if you had tried anything about installing lollipop? XT1049 and 1056 are almost identical hardware so we are in the same boat of being in the minority

I ended up just flashing the XT1053 version from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/xt1053-retail-stock-lollipop-flashable-t3155843
and it's been working fine.

I did the same, but what did you do with the stagefright? Didn't you get OTA notification right after you installed lollipop, it should have been stagefright fix?
Thanks for your response, it's very important for me, trying to figure out what to do my "No sim card detected" XT1049.

(a) It was a few months ago, so I don't remember exactly what 'happened' -- but I don't recall getting any OTA notification
(b) I am in Europe, so haven't connected to Sprint network at all since then
(c) Mine is a 1056, so may be different ...
Sorry, wish I could help, but I'm not nearly expert enough to advise!
I assume you've done the idiotic stuff, like cleaning your SIM card, re-seating it, trying a different SIM, etc...

Yes, tried everything including sim cleaning etc.
I'm not in US neither, nor am I using Sprint.
Could you check and send your system version and baseband version please?
I might figure out something from it.
And if you remember did you directly flash XT1053 on 4.4.2? Or did you flash XT1053 4.4.4 first and then lollipop ,as you have written in OP here?

AT&T G900A, locked bootloader, can I move to Tmobile, and rom?

Hello, I currently have a few Samsungs (old, S3), and they are all rooted (I am familiar with rooting, firmware loading via Odin, TWRP/CWM, etc). I have read a large number of posts on how the Galaxy S5 after 5.X is boot loader locked. I was gifted with a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5, with the Sim unlock code (and I would like to use it), however, it has been updated to G900AUCS4CPA2. To add insult to injury, I am on T-Mobile.
Forum posts have indicated that the only requirement to move to T-Mobile is to change the sim. However, it would be nice to use the wifi calling, etc (or at least a T-Mobile rom). Even though the bootloader is locked, is there a way to install a Tmobile S5 5.X or 6.X rom? It seems like installing different AT&T roms via Odin is possible, as long as they are >=5.X. Is there a way to install a T-Mobile rom via Odin?
Barring all of that, is there a way to install a totally generic rom, and not be AT&T branded/bloated/etc?
Thank you.

No. The locked bootloader prevents all of that.

Ok, but it came with 6.0 and I downgraded to PA2. So there is no way to install anything else?
Backstory: I initially tried and failed to install 4.4.2, and with more reading realized that I was on the "bootloader locked" 6.0, and that I had thrashed the current rom that was installed. I then found an XDA post on moving back to 6.0, but it starts with PA2, which installed successfully and the phone is on PA2 (the rom I posted in the beginning of the thread). So, I can seemingly install AT&T roms, as long as they are 5.0+?? I just can not move anywhere else??
Thank you for your input.
