Hello All.
I recently picked up a Comsumer Cellular Moto G 2014 Model XT1064. I am currently trying to allow it to receive OTA updates or at the very least upgrade it to lollipop. I've followed this guide [here] and I have unlocked the bootloader, however I am having trouble getting my hands on proper links. I managed to 'downgrade' to 21.11.13.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US cc however I cannot flash any other roms. I tried flashing an XT1068 5.2 rom using fastboot however with the dual sim ROM, I got no service from my sim card.
Information and links seem to be scarce for this model so any finger in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You can forget OTA since Consumer Cellular will not push out OTA's. I personally am going to hold at 5.01 since Motorola is close to pushing out 5.1 which is supposed to fix a few things. I flashed my CC Moto with TWRP straight to 5.01 from 4.4.4 with the Titan Rom located in the General forum.

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.

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.

I just flashed the 5.1 pure edition over my XT1097 and everything is working great because the update has the bands of almost all the major carriers. If you update and you lose signal, data or IMEI just flash the modem of your original version and everything should work.

did you flash the XT1093 firmware 5.1 and you lose signal? weird, because is the official for you model
http://www.filefactory.com/file/1fib372p0cbv/VICTARA_USC_XT1093_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
I flashed the XT1093 version months ago over my 1097 because was the first to get 5.0.2 and stuck at "registering phone, please wait", what I did was to dirty flash over different version.
I understand that CDMA supports diffrentes bands but as I said, if you lose signal after the 5.1 update just try to flash the modems of the 5.0.2 or 5.0 of the XT1093
yes i flashed the original one... i even ota updated it.... seems to be problems with that version. not losing signal, only cant connect to data/internet.
Flash modem files from motorolas own stock image, worked for me

hi. i have a mototorla XT890 which is from usa region and its bootloadder is locked as well, im trying to change the region to eu but cant as the bootloader unlock is not allowed by motorola! is there anyway i can get atleast french language in my phone? can i use the mfastboot commands to flash the european region rom thru this on a bootloader locked US region phone?
and is there french language in any of the US region firmwares? pls help
WBR
ReyTech
Didn't know there where USA variants of the xt890, because of a different baseband. Gsm vs CDMA. And those don't work together.
U can flash the signed images manually with mfastboot and see what happens. Just make sure the base ROM u are now on is a JB one or even KK. Then only flash the following images from another rsd packages, always go for JB or higher:
The system...
The boot...
Then erase your cache and data partitions through mfastboot and it could work.
I don't know if there is any French language in an USA firmware packages

There isn't a USA variant nor was the RAZR I sold in the USA. In the USA there is only the RAZR M. He most likely bought an imported phone if it is truly a RAZR I. Or he has the RAZR M which is the CDMA version of this phone sold at verizon.
The fact that he can't unlock the bootloader makes me think he has a RAZR M because those can't be unlocked. To verify, run:
fastboot getvar all
It should have all the info about your phone.
Also in the USA we have both CDMA and GSM. It depends on your company. For example verizon, sprint, and us cellular are CDMA, but all the other companies like AT&T, tmobile, virgin, etc are GSM.

ure right, its claro operato from latin america! srry my wrong!
Decided to do this write up to hopefully create a one stop shop for all. Thank you MODs for sticky!
DISCLAIMER - Modify your device is at your own risk. Check any command set you use to flash a rom to assure it does NOT have a command to relock the bootloader. DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to re-lock your bootloader!
Enjoy!
1. Who makes the Moto X4?
Manufactured by Motorola which is owned by Lenovo.
2. How many variants/models are there of the Moto X4?
Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-01 variant
3 Models: Retail, Android One, Amazon
Canada, USA
Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-02 variant
Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand
Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-04 variant
Latin America
Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-05 variant
Europe
Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-06 variant
Brazil
Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-07 variant
Italy, Ukraine,
Discussion thread here started by @Jithin91.
3. Is there a difference between the models?
They have the exact same hardware other then certain non-US variants offer dual-sim, 4gb memory, and 64gb storage options. Their firmwares are different slightly. XT1900-01: Retail has more Motorola apps and features like the One-Button Nav exclusively. Android One is more of a pure Android experience and will have the least bloatware but has some Motorola features. Amazon has Alexa and some Motorola features.
4. Can the bootloader be unlocked and how?
The only way to know if your variant can be unlock is via Motorola's website, via their instructions. There is no alternative method. This is the definitive way to find out if yours can be unlock. Typically, users are reporting that the Amazon model cannot be unlocked.
Lenovo themselves has not released factory signed stock images. Once you unlock the bootloader, THERE IS NO RETURN. Orange bootloader msg will appear at boot, even when you perform #9. SafetyNet will pass if not rooting.
5. Can it be rooted, and how? Custom recovery (TWRP)?
Bootloader must be unlocked first.
[GUIDE][Video] How to Root Moto X4 & Install TWRP Recovery by @munchy_cool
SafetyNet passes with latest Magisk
Don't forget to grab latest files from XDA Magisk Thread and TWRP. Have to install apk after flashing.
6. How do I remove the orange unlock bootloader warning at boot?
[GUIDE][Video/Text] How to Remove Unlocked Bootloader Warning on Moto X4 by @munchy_cool
Also, if you flash stock firmware, the msg is there only on Oreo 8.1 and Pie. The msg isn't there if you flash Nougat or Oreo 8.0.
7. Are there any customs ROMs/Kernels yet?
First off, BIG thanks to @erfanoabdi! He didn't even own the device but did the work to make it possible.

8. Is Lineage going to be OFFICIAL?
It is in the works but no timeline so don't ask. One prerequisite for it, is the dev must own the device. That process was started, refer to this thread.
9. How do I go back to stock?

10. Where do I download firmwares?
Beware that Motorola have not officially released signed stock images, can double check here. The urls below are by users.

Full Firmware 2018 November Android One Oreo 8.1 here by @Comby_sk
Full Firmware 2018 November Android One Pie 9.0 posted here by @Comby_sk
Work in progress... Will edit/update as needed and conveniently able.
11. Can I flash a different stock firmware on my device? ie flash Android One on Retail or another variant
Yes. Non-US variant users have reported successful flashes of US firmwares in this thread. Ensure you have a TWRP backup before performing just in case.
12. I am rooted and now Official OTAs don't install
This is a known issue with no fix. Your only option is to wait for copy of latest firmware to be available and manually flash it without the erase userdata to keep your data (customized script here). Another option is if you are receiving the OTA notification, manually re-flash current firmware build without the erase userdata to keep your data and proceed to accept the OTA (You will have to re-install TWRP/re-root.)
13. What the hect is this A/B partition stuff people keep mentioning?
Great XDA article will best explain it all.
When you boot into TWRP, where it shows that active slot, remember when you do a flash you flash to the other slot. Example: If you're on A, you will flash to slot B and vice versa. Yes you can have stock firmware on one and a custom ROM on another but they share the same data partition. So its not dual boot in the way you're thinking.
14. Best camera to use?
Refer to this XDA Thread by @uccollab and this reddit thread.
15. I'm not on Retail version, how can I enable One Button Nav?
For Oreo - TBD
For Pie - Post by @jhedfors - Need root

I have an XT1900-7 with 3GB RAM / 32GB Storage / Dual Sim, it was sent direct from Motorola/Lenovo as a replacement, anyone know what variant this would be? It came with a two-pin Turbo Power adapter but I am in the UK, they then sent me a UK charger.
Don't have 8.1 yet but have the notification for the OPWS27.2.3, 1 June 2018 OTA update although I can't install it due to an error. I have Magisk installed with unlocked Bootloader etc. Don't have a backed up bootloader from stock unfortunately as it was wiped when I did the whole bootloader/magisk thing.
Would it be safe to flash the 8.1 update from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322270003
Cheers for the info.

Go to settings, system, regulatory information, what variant does it say?
Is that an OTA or full firmware? Should be safe. For an OTA, it will fail if it can't install.

Thanks for this thread. I got Moto X4 today, coming from the Nexus 5X....
I have some concerns about OEM unlocking, bootloader as well, damn a/b partitions, variants...
It was way simpler and seemed safer with nexus devices I have.
Is there some kind of emergency recover software for if whatever goes wrong to manage fixing softbricks and returning to safe stock in such cases, like wugsfresh NRT?

There is no 3rd party software available at this time. It is definitely more then just flashing a single Google factory image image via recovery. We're spoiled.

There's only one main download link for Lineage firmware on that second post. What are you trying to find out exactly?
There are some firmware files below the "copy partition.zip" file on that second post. I mean what are those files? There is no description about those files on that thread. I asked on that thread. And I got replied as refer to your this thread of Moto X4 F.A.Q.s. Kindly tell me.
