Hi
just fyi in case someone runs into this:
I have WIND Moto X (XT 1097) which was unlocked (I am on Bell Mobility Canada) - with the original 4.4.4 firmware:
system: 21.31.52.victara_retca.retca.en.CA
baseband: MSM8974BP_2147.127.04.57R,VICTARA_RETCA_CUST
I manually flashed the retail 5.01 image (I thought the Wind soak test issues came only from OTA)
RETCA_XT1097_5.0.1_LXE22.46-22_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
After I flashed it 5.01 booted fine, but I lost cellular radio. With no way to DOWNGRADE, I thought I was hosed, but after reflashing the 2 original modem files:
fsg.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
I was back up in 5.01 Lollipop with the radios working again - so I picked up my Bell signal.
I am just wondering now, is there a way to downgrade from 5.01 to 4.4.4 and have the radios working ? Ideally I'd like to reflash this stock image:
RETCA_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-52_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
Thank you

JUst do exactly the same process BUT dont flash fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin. and your phone will restart on 4.4.4 with radio signal
The 5.0.1 image you flashed was the Telus image, not the Wind Mobile image, which is why you lost your radio. You can flash the original Wind mobile 4.4.4 firmware and you will be back to 4.4.4. You will need to flash the files manually(mfastboot) instead of using RSDlite as one of them will fail as it doesn't allow downgrades, this isn't an issue though.
No this won't work because it gives downgrade errors.

Hi, not flashing using rsdlite - using mfastboot.
Would you have a link to the original Wind firmware or the full name of the retail Wind firmware image ?
Also - seeing my phone is supposedly unlocked (works now on bell) why would flashing the telus radio vs wind break ?
Thank you!

Hi
The 4.4 and 5.01 image didn't have any reference to Telus or wind they both said RETCA. However If you have the name of the Wind retail 4.4 image I'd appreciate it.
Does above know where I can get the stock 4.4.2 zip file? I had to downgrade and i can't update to 4.4.2 since I don't have a valid AT&T sim any longer
A couple of months ago, I bought this smartphone unlocked from Amazon USA (I'm from Argentina). After getting it, I updated it up to 4.4.4. Now, I'm on 5.1 after following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-install-5-1-lollipop-moto-x-t3089594
Now I want to comeback to the stock rom so I can get the official 5.1 update but I'm not sure what rom should I get. How can I know that?

Normally I would suggest BEFORE you flash away from Stock, on the phone you first go App Drawer -> Settings -> About Phone... Make note of what is listed under System Version, Android Version, and build number. Then visit one (or all) of the sites until that host the leaked SBF files until you find the SBF that matches and down load the file to your PC for use later.. The file name will usually contain parts or all of that info listed under settings, and possibly the carrier name, or acronym for the carrier name (Verizon might be VZW, Rogers Canada might be RCI, etc).
But seeing as you are no longer using your stock ROM, you need to provide us with some details...
1. Who is your carrier?
2. Was the phone you purchased from Amazon branded for your carrier, or was it "Unlocked"?
3. Is there any model info imprinted into the lower portion of the back case (in very fine print)?

1 & 2. My carrier is Claro Argentina but I bought the phone unlocked in Amazon, no branded.
3. It says XT1050. I guess that's the model. I tried to find a 4.4.4 room for that model but nothing.
Thanks for the answer.

Can you boot the phone to bootloader mode and tell me what you see on the 2nd line?
And I've only seen 4.4.2 leaks for XT1050, and also they were for regional carriers in the USA, so possibly not what you need.

Ok, thanks.
The 2nd line says: 30.B7 (sha-bae5e20, 2014-06-23 18:24:49)

30.B7 is the bootloader for a 4.4.4 ROM.
So you don't want to flash a 4.4.2 rom on there.
At this point, unless you can find a Stock Moto 4.4.4 XT1050 SBF, I would just sit with your phone as is.
I mean, you could try finding any XT1050 4.4.4 SBF and flashing it, but I've only seen one SBF for XT1050, and it was 4.4.2. So you'd risk bricking if you flash it, or if you take an OTA after you flashed it (since gpt/motoboot on your phone will be the wrong version). And even then, I'm not sure if it has any "carrier specific" settings in it.
Maybe You'll get lucky if 5.1 SBF's start leaking, and we'll see an XT1050 SBF.

Ok, thanks for the help. I think it will be better to go for a custom rom like CM.
I have a Canadian Rogers branded c6906 and just upgraded to lollipop. Nothing but trouble, I dislike the giant icons for the apps. I would like to downgrade back to kitkat. I cannot seem to find the correct FTF file.
Where can I find SBFs? The site I normally use is down I either need ACG 4.4.2 or the latest vzw.
