Hello, I wish to know if the Pure Edition has an unlocked bootloader ? The Moto Voice and others Motorola features are they presents in the Pure Edition ? Someone know if in Europe the MotoMaker version is only a Pure Edition ?
No it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, I will never buy a phone with a bootloader already unlocked when shipped, which is insecure.
It, however, does have an unlockable bootloader which you can manually unlock through Motorola website: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
Whatever default Moto X features should be included in all the variants. The Pure version for US will not have LTE bands support for Europe and you will only get 3G.
Yeah I mean unlockable sorry for the mistake. Thanks for your answer !

Hi just wondering if anyone knows which model numbers of the moto x have an unlockable bootloader i see on the cyanogenmod download page that there is cm for the xt1053, xt1058 and xt1060 does this mean all of these are unlockable or are some of these using safestrap? also does it depend on which region you purchase the phone from? thanks guys and girls

All XT1053 's are unlockable
All XT1052 's are unlockable
All XT1050 's are unlockable
All XT1055 's are unlockable
All XT1056 's are unlockable
All XT1058 's are unlockable EXCEPT AT&T
Only the DEVELOPER edition XT1060 is unlockable
NO XT1049 's are unlockable (except nTelos)
Basically, they can all be unlocked EXCEPT Verizon (though the DEV edition can be unlocked), AT&T, and Republic Wireless.
You can NOT use CM or any other non-stock-based custom ROMs with safe-strap. Safe-strap is for stock based ROMs ONLY.
This is all completely accurate with the exception of the services of the "China Middleman" (use search).
The middleman sells unlock codes for some of the locked variants. While many are successful at unlocking, many are unable to receive codes as well. See that thread for further details.
You are an absolute legend thanks so much, i spent ages looking for that info
Hi again,
Is it possible install a Dev Edition ROM on a "common" Moto X?
Thanks!

The Dev edition Roms aren't one byte different from the regular ones.
The vzw Dev edition uses the regular xt1060 ROM.
The GSM Dev edition use the T-Mobile xt1053 ROM.
What are you trying to accomplish?!?

There is no hardware or software difference besides the unlockable bootloader. When the bootloader exploit gets released, unlock your device, and it will be nearly the same. (I only say nearly because I feel like i'm forgetting something.

That really doesn't make sense....but no. You can't.
There are SEVERAL XT1058s. Which do you have? The AT&T Variant, or a different one?
If you do NOT have the AT&T variant, you can already unlock the bootloader which basically "transforms" it into a DEV edition without doing anything else.
Any phone with an unlocked bootloader *IS* an un-official "DEV" edition. There is nothing "special" about the Dev editions except for their unlockable bootloaders, or rather the fact that they retain their warranty after being unlocked.
I'm not understanding what you intend to gain?
ALL Moto X's have unlockable bootloaders *EXCEPT* for the Verizon, AT&T, and Republic Wireless variants.
The only thing "special" about the dev editions is that they keep their warranty intact after unlocking the bootloader. But if it isn't a device SOLD as a DEV edition, you will void its warranty anyways.
And if you happen to have the AT&T, Verizon, or Republic Wireless variant, see the thread in General titled "China Middleman Back" - that guy sells codes that unlock the bootloader on the locked variants. If you pay him and get a code, your phone will be a non-official DEV edition. If you DON'T have AT&T, Verizon, or Republic Wireless variant, you can *already* unlock it *FREE* from Moto's official unlock website.

@samwathegreat can i flash a Galaxy Note 3 rom? I want to transform my maxx to a note 3. I really like the bigger screen.
Wut?
I have a locked AT&T Moto X 1058. Currently, my phone is on stock 4.4.4. There are a few bloatwares from AT&T; they are really annoying, especially the AT&T Address Book. May I flash another stock Rom like the 4.4.4 for T-Mobile to my device? I know that the Rom for T-Mobile is as clean as a developer edition.
Any help would be appreciated.
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

No. The bootloader is locked on my XT1058 and unlocking this model is not supported by Motorola.

FWIW I have an XT1058 from Claro Chile, and I just flashed a Brazilian ROM (original Motorola KitKat 4.4.4). I haven't found any issues, but I have an unlocked bootloader though. So it might work for you.
You can't with a locked bootloader.
Thank you all, guys. Though I can't flash other Roms but only the ones for AT&T, it is good to know.

With a locked bootloader all you can flash are stock ROMs signed by Moto and intended for your phone's CID. In other words, ATT XT1058 with locked bootloader can only flash stock ATT ROMs.
If I have a XT1058 on 4.4.2 on other operator (Telcel, Mexico), can I unlock the bootloader? I kinda want to flash a 4.4.4 ROM, plus, my carrier most likely won't update the phone to 5.0

Yes you can, I have the same phone on the same Network, you will lose the warranty though.
I want to get the bamboo/ white moto x , but it's on 500 eur ( 32 gb) on Amazon and 550 eur on Moto maker, I don't need the moto maker version, since I want to go with the stock white/bamboo configuration, but on moto maker you get the pure edition. As far as I know the unlocked gsm version has a locked bootloader and if you want to unlock it you need to use Motorola's website and lose your warranty :crying: , am I right?
Can you unlock the bootloader from the pure edition without voiding the warranty? I just want to root to install xposed but to me it's totally worth the 50 extra euros if I am going to get to keep my warranty :laugh:
On motorola's website you get the following message "You have only yourself to blame. Unless you have a Developer Edition device, once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty" , notice how they say developer edition and NOT pure edition, I'm quite confused ...
Pure edition is also known as a Developer edition. For more info please see this thread:

Thanks! Good to know, the bad thing is that it appears that MotorolA does not honor the warranty for some people with the pure edition and for other people it does
EDIT sorry only confused myself I have the "pure " moto x I thought this was a special edition moto x with pure stock android instead of moto "pure" which means no bloatware from carriers and unlocked which mine is so I have the pure edition and it qualifies for unlockings
Mods can close this if you like
Hi just got my EU moto x 2014 (xt1092)and I'm going to unlock my bootloader but I only see it for for pure edition and only KitKat 4.4.4 I'm on 5.0 can someone point me in the right direction please?
I'm not a noob either lol I can use fastboot etc etc

If your device is XT1092 then it's NOT pure edition, it's retail.You can unlock your boot loader on Motorola website,but if your device is XT1092,your warranty will be void.
