Maybe flash a 4.4.2 ROM with twrp. I wouldn't dare do that until the entire 4.4.4 sbf is released. Otherwise that isn't safe.
Don't dare downgrade to the 4.4.2 sbf or you will very likely brick.
Hopefully the sbf is released soon, and you can safely flash a twrp 4.4.2 ROM. ONLY FROM TWRP. Otherwise not safe.
Again, please wait until the full 4.4.4 sprint sbf is released, otherwise you might not be able to return to stock.

What if a Sprint Moto X out the box came with 4.2.2, was bootloader unlocked via Motorola, TWRP'ed, rooted and then a nandroid was made of the stock 4.2.2. Then 4.4.4 was flashed via TWRP, and now the Moto X is on 4.4.4. I keep seeing calamitous warnings about not downgrading to 4.4.2 specifically else you brick your device. Would the same warning apply to attempting to restore back to the 4.2.2 backup, just out of curiosity?

The problem is with gpt.bin (the partition table) and motoboot.img (the bootloader). Neither of those are downwardly. So if you ever took an ota, you updated both of them. This causes problems both ways: if your android version doesn't match the BL or partition table you are at extreme risk of a brick. Sometimes it happens immediately and sometimes it happens after one or two otas.
Always best to use caution.
Twrp flashing is safe because it doesn't touch either! Twrp backups only flash system and boot.
The warnings apply to ANY version unless twrp is used.

Did you flash the ROM or the firmware? If you flashed the ROM from twrp, you are totally safe to flash down to 4.4.2, read the msl and then flash back to 4.4.4.
If you flashed the FIRMWARE you updated the BL and partition table and you risk bricking.

Don't think there was a separate firmware, just the ROM only. (I did have to fastboot NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn manually though).
Anyway, not trying to push my luck here so i'll just stay put, but i was just curious.

You are correct, the firmware for 4.4.4 isn't available yet. The NON-HLOS and fsg are the modem. You should be completely safe. Use caution none the less.

Is it possible to use PWNmymoto or Motoroot to do the root stuff?
And is it possible to flash t-mobile version on it?
I would do a search in the pwnmymoto root thread about routing it that way.
Sent from my Moto X.
There is no need in using pwnmymoto, especially because there is no pwnmymoto for PR phones - definitely the unlock bootloader thing from motorola is more stable. After it's unlocked, flashing the recovery is very easy. Having a PR phone myself, I can confirm CWM Recovery working and SuperSU root as well after the official bootloader unlock.

PR rom is pre-camera OTA. You can not flash back to that if you flashed any post-camera OTA roms as the bootloader can not be downgraded.

You should be noted that they downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2.2 post-camera OTA roms as they have the same bootloader. Try downgrade to pre-camera OTA rom may cause the phone bricked. Have seen several threads talking about this.

This guy didn't brick because he downgraded back to pre camera OTA, he successfully downgraded back to pre-camera OTA but he bricked after installing the OTA.
Why? Because he did all sorts of things to his phone before installing the OTA including installing custom recovery, rooting, installing a custom logo and all sorts of other things and he didn't even flash the full stock ROM before taking the OTA.
We all know that you shouldn't take an OTA unless you go back to 100% stock first

You can see from the thread. The old bootloader can not be flashed and he skipped that step. I think this is actually why get bricked after trying to OTA.

Yes you are correct, you can not downgrade to the per camera firmware, regardless if you are running a unlocked boot loader, gpt.bin failure , I tried and failed and under no circumstance remove the gpt. bin line in the XML file as you will hard brick your device 100% guaranteed

Yes. That's what I'm talking about. Bootloader downgrade not supported for this model, even unlocked bootloader. @mschumacher69
I think for latin America XT1058s, can be flashed to stock with ATT or Rogers post camera OTA 4.2.2 sbf from 4.4 instead using the original one which are most pre camera OTA.

So that's why he bricked, because he didn't flash gpt.bin not because he attempted to downgrade to pre-ota 4.2.2. Attempting to flash the pre-ota 4.2.2 might fail, but it will not brick, correct?
A friend of mine got an XT1053 in Mexico. Thinking the T-Mobile version is an XT1053, he brought it over and I decided to flash the Tmo KitKat leak on it.
I assumed this had an unlockable bootloader, but I also failed to read the instructions all the way, so I downloaded the 4.4 zip file, ran flashall.sh (I'm on a Mac) and got a failure when the script tried to flash boot. I then read that an unlocked bootloader was needed, so I went through the process only to find out that this device is not unlockable (failed verification on Moto's site).
Here's the output of the tmo 4.4 flash:

With the locked bootloader, I can't flash the required boot image to make the kit kat version boot, and I can't install an older version of files because the check fails and I can't downgrade.

Seems like the phone now has different versions of files and the only way to fix it will be to wait for an official 4.4 image for an XT1053. Hoping that this will have a signed boot.img that this device will allow to be flashed.
Its a shame the software allows you to flash at all if the bootloader is locked and you try to use the firmware from a different provider.
I assume you've looked for flash images here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php
I would think the original firmware on the phone is in this list, likely one of the "unknown carrier" files.
Try to determine which one is it and flash it using rsdlite - you might get lucky and it will work.
I believe Motorola has admitted that the bootloader should be unlockable on the XT1053 you have however those phones are missing from the authorized list. From what I have read it is something they are working on.
You need to allow flashing of signed images.
For the xt1053 you need to find a cid 3 image. This is a nextel mexico or nextel Brazil.

Interesting. I had sen a Nextel Brazil image on another forum but didn't try that. I am downloading now.
What do you mean by allowing flash of signed images? The cid 3 image will enable this in a way or the cid3 image is signed whereas the others are not?
Thanks!
edit: the Nextel Brazil image is for an XT1058, that's why I hadn't downloaded it before.
Well, I finally got the phone back!
I used the Brazil image and flashed everything but modem (since it is for an XT1058).
The phone booted! YAY! With a screwed up initial logo. But I had no WiFi, so I went back and flashed the Tmo OTA modem, erased all partitions and did everything else in the XML that I had skipped (like flashing system and logo), and now it's booted up and I have WiFi.
And now my system version is 139.12.35.ghost_row.NII.en.BR, instead of 139.7.30.ghost_row.NII.en.MX.
Is the BR version newer or older?
Oh and now my Mac sees the phone as an XT1058.
EDIT: The version must be newer, since I was able to update the Camera app on the Play Store

I used the XML in the Nextel Brazil firmware I linked above. I have a Mac so all I did was used the Motorola Darwin fastboot binary that is included in some of the other firmwares and manually flashed everything per the XML. You can use the Windows flasher that everyone uses, forget the name, and just use the same binary files.
I don't know if the modem files need to be skipped or not, but I did, and I then flashed the modem file from this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445955 but remember, do NOT flash the rest or run the installer script. Only flash the modem files manually. Or replace the NON-HLOS.bin file from that into the Brazil Nextel folder (or just delete the file to leave the modem as is, but that might be part of your call issues)

Well, I finally got the phone back!
I used the Brazil image and flashed everything but modem (since it is for an XT1058).
The phone booted! YAY! With a screwed up initial logo. But I had no WiFi, so I went back and flashed the Tmo OTA modem, erased all partitions and did everything else in the XML that I had skipped (like flashing system and logo), and now it's booted up and I have WiFi.
And now my system version is 139.12.35.ghost_row.NII.en.BR, instead of 139.7.30.ghost_row.NII.en.MX.
Is the BR version newer or older?
Oh and now my Mac sees the phone as an XT1058.
EDIT: The version must be newer, since I was able to update the Camera app on the Play Store

Let me get this straight, you were able to flash an XT1058 image on an XT1053 without having to unlock the bootloader??

Correct. The locked bootloader allows you to flash any image that has the same encryption keys as the original one. The Nextel Brasil XT1058 and the Nextei Mexico XT1053 (the one I have) use the same CID3 keys.

NII (Nextel) are CID3. Looks like all LATAM versions are CID12, US Cellular and Sprint are CID9, Republic Wireless is CID6.
Not sure what Rogers, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are.

Why T-Mobile? Tmo is an XT1053. I have read about people flashing their LATAM XT1058s (all CID12s according to the list) with AT&T images with a locked bootloader. But you should look for a specific thread on that to get clarification.

Because the T-Mobile image is the only retail image that doesn't have carrier bloatware and has been updated to 4.4 KK. The AT&T image is full of AT&T bloatware and I don't want that.
Many people have flashed the T-Mobile image on their LATAM XT1058s but they have all unlocked their bootloader first and the reason I don't want to unlock my bootloader is because I hate the Bootloader Unlocked Warning message. I know you can replace the logo.bin file to get rid of it, but I don't want to do that.
I've been also researching if I can re-lock the bootloader after installing the T-Mobile image to get rid of the warning but I haven't found an answer to that question either.

I wish I had an unlockable bootloader! I have this Nextel XT1053 up for sale and will be buying an unlockable XT1053 tomorrow through Motorola.
You wouldn't mind your phone coming up as an XT1053?
Flashing a logo.bin would be the easiest thing. Motorola said they will honor warranties of unlocked bootloaders, so you really have nothing to lose IMHO.

Flashing a custom logo.bin would remove the warning message but you would have to re-flash it whenever you install an OTA because it would be replaced with the original one. Also, a custom logo.bin would remove the battery empty sign because it is included in the original logo.bin, more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47898112&postcount=27
Regarding the warranty, Motorola will honor it for the Dev Editions only, if you unlock your bootloader on a non-dev edition phone, you would loose your warranty.

Oh I had missed it was for dev editions only. Your best bet is to flash the 4.2.2 T-Mobile image and see if your phone takes it. I haven't been able to find any info regarding the encryption keys used in the US versions of the Moto X.
If something fails while flashing the 4.2.2. TMo image, you can flash the AM PR version since they are the same one. If it works, then you should get the OTA automatically for 4.4. You won't need to unlock your bootloader for the test and you should be able to recover.

Are u sure I would be able to recover if something fails??
New to the Moto X and Android in general.
Have a SIM unlocked XT1058 but without realizing that I had locked bootloader, I attempted to flash using RSD Lite the T-Mobile (my carrier) 4.4.3 stock firmware and think I've bricked my phone..
Tried to revert back to the AT&T 4.4.2 stock firmware but at each turn I get the "security version downgraded" error; first when trying to gpt.bin (took that out the .xml) then boot.img (took that line out the .xml) and then finally at system.img turn..
At this point I'm thinking I'm screwed unless I can get an ATT firmware to load that is on the same "security version" as the botched 4.4.3 attempt..
Am I right or do I have any other options to get a working Moto X?
Thanks in advance, spent the better part of the evening trying to [email protected]#$ myself but I'm tired and need a hand from the pros..

hi,
at first you cant flash another firmware than the xt1058 firmware. DONT FLASH ANOTHER FIRMWARE.
Now to your problem.
open the xml and delete the following lines:
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
...
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" MD5="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
<step operation="flash" partition="motoboot" filename="motoboot.img" MD5="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
then save it and use rsd lite to flash the "xt1058 firmware"!!!!!!! not tmobile OK?

And to clarify, what got me into this mess was trying to flash on my AT&T branded XT1058 the firmware from the Moto site called:
<phone_model model="PRO_CFC_TMO" />
<software_version version="ghost_retail-user 4.4.3 KXA21.12-L1.21 23 release-keysMSM8960PRO_BP_2323.038.123.00R" />
It failed for giving some message that when looked up tells me it's because I have locked bootloader.
I then try to re-flash the original AT&T 4.4.2 firmware from the Moto site but it looks like the failed upgrade to Tmob fw did some partial update to e security version which is now preventing me from getting out of this loop when trying:
<phone_model model="PRO_CFC_ATT" />
<software_version version="ghost_att-user 4.4.2 KXA20.16-1.31.1 1 bldacfg,release-keysMSM8960PRO_BP_2323.031.111.00R" />
@blackout420
I'm surprised that with a locked bootloader, the XT1053 firmware even flashed to your XT1058. Usually with a locked bootloader, it fails to flash any rom not for your model.
In any case... now, you are experiencing one of the main causes of bricking... Attempting to downgrade (i.e. you had 4.4.3 on your phone, and you are trying to flash 4.4.2).
Long story short... GPT.BIN is the partition table of the phone, Motoboot.img contains the bootloader and other parts. You are running into problems flashing a lower version because security restrictions on the phones don't let you downgrade them.
Ideally, we'd say grab the SBF/FXZ of the latest version you had on your phone (in this case 4.4.3) for your carrier and model. Unfortunately, there is no ATT 4.4.3, and an ATT 4.4.4 SBF/FXZ hasn't leaked yet.
In this case, you can attempt what @nexuspur is suggesting. Take the ATT 4.4.2 SBF, edit its XML to skip flashing GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG, and flash using RSDLite (because its easier)... or you can do the same to manually flash using moto's fasboot (aka mfastboot).
Be aware... this is NOT fool proof, nor is it 100% safe. And you do NOT want to take an OTA in this state. We've seen enough bricking and other issues due to mismatched GPT.BIN and MotoBoot.IMG compared to the rest of the rom/files on the phone that I really don't like suggesting it, unless it is a last resort. For more, see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057/post55004649
BUT this is the only option until the 4.4.4 SBF for your phone model and carrier leaks and gets posted to -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 Once it does, I suggest using it to flash back to stock (follow option 5 on -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html )
If you do want to run the XT1053 ROM on your XT1058 (again, something I don't suggest because I've seen too many problems come up), check out the China Middleman thread in the general section and see if you can get your bootloader unlock code.

@nexuspur I've been using both, keeping the untouched one where I extracted the full zip and then moving over the contents to the \platform-tools\ folder, updating the .xml as suggested and then picking it when running RSD Lite... to no avail.
100% appreciate everyone's input, would like to try other things if anyone else has any ideas.. but it's looking like what @KidJoe suggests is what I'll need to wait for - an official ATT firmware to flash that has the security stuff at or higher than my 4.4.3.

Long story short, and if you read that entire thread, and its progression you'll understand the long story, Right now, it would appear the GPT.BIN on your phone is NEWER than the GPT.BIN in any SBF you are trying to flash. Hence your problem.
You will likely have to wait until a newer SBF gets leaked. At this point, it might be after Lollipop SBF's start leaking.

I suddenly realized that I encrypted the phone when it's on 4.4.2 before playing with various SBFs, and that may be the reason why I cannot write anything any more....
I had the exact same problem with my XT1053. I was able to fix it by flashing the 5.0.2 GPT. If your variant has a leaked zip, it's in the root directory. I wouldn't recommend using anything but your own variant's, but if that's what you want to do so be it.

You cannot be rooted, you should flash all the files in the same firmware (you can try skipping the first two files if you want, but I had no problems with flashing them). Your phone has to be completely stock, with no modifications before the 6.0 OTA.

That's what you should flash.
Thanks again! I'll get busy flashing
Update: worked like a charm!

So to clarify, it's safe to flash back from RETBR 6.0 (24.11.18.victara_retbr.en.BR) to RETCA 5.1 and then take the RETCA 6.0 ota?

Yes, I've done it myself on my own phone, XT1097 RETCA from Wind Mobile. Usually when you downgrade, you skip flashing the first two files in the firmware, the Partition Table and BootLoader, but in this case I had no problems flashing them (it seems they haven't changed between 5.1 and 6.0). So go ahead and flash the full 5.1 firmware, every file, and no modifications, no root, etc., until you get and install the update. As of now, I don't know of a full RETCA 6.0 firmware.
