Here are all available RUU`s, OTA`s and CWM/TWRP firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874. Hope you find something there. You have a AT&T device? Here is a TWRP flashable backup http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1829-m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-cws-001-12950210/.

Thanks. The last time i tried, it failed. I was told the error was due to model id mismatch. Should I be editing my phone's Model ID and CID or should I just edit the android.txt file?

also, with the TWRP flashable backup, you're saying I could flash that then do OTA updates? would i have to re-lock bootloader? will I have to go s-on?

After the flash you would have to flash the stock recovery for that RUU and do a factory reset afterwards to get OTA`s. Your phone will stil be flagged as a test device if you have S-Off and/or a unlocked bootloader (maybe there is a fix for that so look on XDA/Google for that).
I don't necessarily need OTA, just want the latest firmware

What do you need to know?
To install the latest firmware, do I need stock RUU or can I just change CID to supercid?
Which firmware can I install with supercid?
What's the process for installing?

1. Read this thread for unlocking the bootloader and getting S-Off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582.
2. Read this thread for writing supercid (11111111) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536
3. Choose a RUU from here and download it (do not extract it) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874 and flash the file by opening it as administrator and your phone usb connected in fastboot mode.
This is great. I'm s-off already. I don't need to change mid do I?

Hi
I have been trying for a day now to try and recover my device after trying to get it back to stock (having had it rooted, s-off, custom rom etc)
The phone is currently stuck on the grey dotted screen when I reboot the device holding either volume key. Without holding down the volume buttons, the device is not recognized by windows and shows as QHUSB_DLOAD.
The fastboot getvar-all command gives me the following:

The last thing I was able to do (perhaps a bad idea?) was follow the guide on this thread as I was trying to change the version to match an OTA I had downloaded. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820
I think that if I could find an RUU for 1.29.206.11 (O2 UK), that might run. I did try running an RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe) and it seemed to fail on the version number.
Any advice anyone can give me on how to recover this appreciated. The annoying thing is that the device had a fault (microphone) and I thought, having figured my way through rooting and installing custom roms on multiple Samsung and HTC devices, that I could get the device back to factory to avoid any questions on the warranty....and this is the first time I am having to admit defeat and think I may well have completely bricked the device!
Many thanks in advance!

In order to run a different RUU, you would need to change CID to 11111111, AND fastboot oem lock - to relock the bootloader. I don't know the correct RUU for your carrier or country, but changing cid and relocking bootloader does have to happen first

Just whatever you do, DO NOT switch to S-on until your completely sure you have finished the revert. You probably will brick it at that point.
You mention the grey screen, have you followed the instructions on that thread pertaining to the grey screen?

Hi
I have made some progress with the RUU file I have which seemed to restore a few things but ultimately failed to restore the phone. I now have the regular bootloader screen back, and also have managed to flash a recovery image (although cannot see the phone from my PC to push an rom out to it).
I am now not sure of the best way to make progress from here - if I change the CID to 11111111 and relock the bootloader, can I install an RUU with a different version number? I had tried using the method I used previously to upload a zip file (with the same CID as it's correct already) but just changing the version number but I am getting an android 24 fail when I try to 'fastboot oem reboot ruu' then 'fastboot flash zip xxxxx.zip'.
Many thanks again for the help....maybe there's some light at the end of the tunnel here!
Cheers,
Gavin
Flashboot oem rebootRUU (no space between reboot and RUU)
Yes changing CID and relock bootloader will allow you to flash a different RUU (but try to find the closest matching to your carrier/country)
What is the reason you are doing 'fastboot flash zip'? For firmware? I wouldn't change firmware at this time

Hi - definitely staying away from any changes related to S-OFF!
On the instructions related to grey screen, it said that was normal and just to issue the commands then run the RUU file. That's my missing piece here I think - the lack of an RUU with the right version number (unless I am missing something).

Hi - I was following the first few steps on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820) which allow the change of CID and MID, as well as the mainver (which was the variable I thought needed changed so I could run the RUU I had), by uploading the zip. I'm trying the RUU again but will first change CID and relock the bootloader. Thanks
I would look at this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281365

In HBOOT it says relocked.
And I believe the qhusb issue is resolved. When I run the RUU, the ROM is sent across to the device successfully. The bootloader and recovery I believe were successfully written. The RUU seems to be crashing when waiting for the device to restart after that. I have tried manually restarting which worked the first time the RUU is trying to restart the phone, but seem to have not much time to do this before the install fails.
One suggestion a guy at work had was that I sideload a zip file in recovery.
Would that work? And although I know I can find complete custom roms in a zip format, I'm keen to get the phone to stock format but guessing the sideloading of an OTA file wont work (and dont think I can do much with an RUU file). Am I best to get any custom rom across then follow the guide suggested earlier in this thread to return to stock, or should I be doing something else?
Again, really appreciate any help here!
Can you get to recovery?

Hi
I am able to get into recovery and was able to sideload a custom ROM. Based on the this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425143) I was really hopeful that I did not actually have a hardware issue and that upgrading to 4.3 would resolve the issue that was described identically to my original issue.
So I have a fully functioning phone which I am going to follow the suggested guide to restore to stock, then return to the store.
Many thanks for the help in getting this issue resolved!

Hi, I just bought a used Moto X (2013). There is no carrier branding on the back and it's written Xt1058 but the ROM installed is of AT&T. When I installed WhatsApp, it said that my phone has a 'custom ROM' and that some features won't work, but otherwise the phone is working just fine. Due to this ROM I'm not getting OTAs as well and I'm stuck on 4.2.2 Jellybean.
My question is that can I flash any other ROM on the phone so that I start receiving OTAs and while making sure that my phone remains unlocked? I don't want to end up locking my phone again. Can flashing a new ROM lock my phone again? Can I revert to stock ROM somehow (maybe the set isn't originally of AT&T)? Or can I flash Rogers ROM which also of XT1058?
In need of help. Thanks.
Flashing a ROM will not lock your bootloader.
You can only flash same firmware versions or newer, never downgrade.
Yes you can flash the stock Rogers firmware. You can find it in the going back to stock guide.

Thanks. Sorry for bothering but I meant SIM locking. Will flashing a ROM SIM lock my phone again or is the answer still the same?
Secondly, how would I know which is the stock ROM for me? It says XT1058 and 'Assembled in China' on the back, so maybe it's from some Latin American country. Should I still go for the Rogers ROM because it's bloat-free?

Since your phone has already been Bootloader unlocked (because the ROM in your phone is not stock right now), it doesn't matter which ROM you choose. I'd say choosing a bloat-free ROM is great!

First you need to know if your bootloader is unlocked or locked.
Boot the phone into Fastboot/Bootloader mode. What does it say for the status? And what is the version from the 2nd line.
Next, while the phone is in bootloader mode, hook it to the PC and do a fastboot getvar all and post what it says for the following...
(bootloader) version-bootloader:
(bootloader) revision-hardware:
(bootloader) unlocked:
(bootloader) sku:
(bootloader) cid:
(bootloader) ro.build.id:
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[0]:
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[1]:
(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[0]:
(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[1]:
(or copy/paste the entire output into a post and I'll pick it out).
If the bootloader is locked, you'll only be able to flash Stock ROMs signed by Moto, and made for the same "(bootloader) cid:" as your phone.
Flashing a ROM will not lock a bootloader that has been unlocked. The only time I've seen flashing a ROM re-sim lock is the Sprint XT1056 where a hack is used to sim unlock it.
Btw, ATT phones usually have the ATT carrier branding on the case, even if it was from Moto Maker.

A few things..
With Bootloader of 30.70, that is the initial shipping bootloader. Based on the versions, it appears to also been the initial shipping ATT ROM. (i.e. the previous owner did not flash only PARTS of a ROM).
Unlocked Status 1 is good. You should be able to flash signed and unsigned roms. So if you want to switch to CM or such, you can. And you can flash 3rd party recovery and root too.
A few things that concern me from the fastboot output...
(bootloader) unlocked: Not supported
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid: Not supported
I've only seen it say YES or NO for those. This is the first I've seen "Not Supported"
(bootloader) cid: 0xdead
I've not seen the CID listed as DEAD before. Its always been a hex value.
And I'm hoping you just removed your imei and meid, and not that they are actually missing from the output.
One last thing I missed in your other posts, that it says XT1058 on the back and MADE IN CHINA. The ATT XT1058's all said made in USA if I'm not mistaken. So chances are best that its NOT an ATT XT1058.
What carrier are you using this phone on? Do they sell the XT1058? If so, consider finding the latest XT1058 SBF for that carrier and flashing it.
RISKS of doing that: It might fail and brick your phone in the process. It might be successful but you end up having no IMEI/MEID in the process. You end up in a state where you have that SBF on there, but improper carrier settings so future OTA's fail and you have to flash them manually. Or Best case.... It works, and those variables go back to "normal" values.
Its your call if you want to take the chance.
Thanks for the kind reply, I really appreciate it.
I asked Motorola's support person on live chat and he said that the previous owner most probably damaged the phone while flashing as it is not showing any IMEI number. I think the previous guy most probably flashed an AT&T ROM on it and this phone is likely to be from Latin America (XT1058). I'm interested in flashing Roger's ROM as it is bloat-free. I won't flash KitKat on it since it has battery draining issues and will wait for Lollipop.
But are the..
(bootloader) unlocked: Not supported
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid: Not supported
(bootloader) cid: 0xdead
..things to be worried about? Will I most probably end up bricking it?

Yes, definitely caused while screwing around and doing something that shouldn't have been done.
So the IMEI is definitely missing? I would think in that case you wont see the mobile/cellular network and only Wifi would work. But you said other than the OTA's the phone was working fine.
There were some threads about some getting into that situation (Missing IMEI). I know there were some XT1052 users trying to flash Non-XT1052 roms and running into this, but being unable to recovery. I think there was some users who ran into it for other reasons and were able to recover. Its time to start searching.

As I've said, the "Not Supported" and "0xdead" values do worry me. I've not seen them before, so I can't tell you what impact they have on flashing. That is why I said bricking was a risk and that its your choice what to do.
At this point, if you have a working phone, keep with it and using it. Or you try and flash a Rogers XT1058 SBF, taking the chance of bricking it in the process. If you take this route, use Option 5 (and its pre-req's) at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html Get roms from places in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-tip-web-sites-official-leaked-roms-t2923347
I would really suggest flashing the LATEST SBF, in this case 4.4.4.
As for the "battery drain" reported under 4.4.4, for me anyway it seems to vary depending on installed apps. I can still get more than a day with my XT1060 running 4.4.4 with all google and moto apps updated. Occasionally after a bunch of apps update, I see less battery life, but then it seems to settle down and go back to normal.
If you want to flash Rogers 4.4.4, per this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rogers-canada-4-4-4-sbf-t2905525/post56055157 it appears to be XT1058_RCI-CA_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_59_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip BUT I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!
Good Luck!!

First, find a copy of the SBF for the rom on your phone before you do anything.
Since you have an unlocked bootloader, just follow -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/instructions-unlocking-rooting-dev-ed-t2649738
Because you have an older rom and bootloader, just use the versions linked in there. If you ever update the ROM on your phone, you would want to consider using newer versions of TWRP and SuperSU
In order to root, do I need a custom recovery? I'm at 4.2.2 Jellybean atm.
In order to root, you need to read. Seriously, just read and you'll have your answer.
I'm being 'extra careful' because of those abnormal values.

There are two ways to root one is for LOCKED bootloaders, the other is if your bootloader is UNLOCKED.
Unlocked bootloader is done by flashing a custom recovery like TWRP, rebooting to bootloader (so the recovery sticks), entering the recovery, and TWRP will usually ask you if you want to root so you answer yes. (sometimes manually installing SuperSU from TWRP is needed). This both roots and disables write protection.
For a LOCKED bootloader you are exploiting vulnerabilities in the roms. You need to be on a certain rom for it to work, there are extra hacks needed to disable write protection. Its a complicated process that sometimes requires flashing different roms. (I don't remember back to the original shipping 4.2.2 for locked bootloader process, I think it might be PwnMyMoto??).
Because of those values on your phone, any flashing or hacking could be risky. Doing the unlocked method (thread link I pasted earlier) of flashing twrp, is the easiest way to root.
Unless you are willing to take a chance, and risk bricking your phone, I'm not sure how to really advise you because everything at this point is unknown territory.

Yes thank you. I had already rooted using TWRP.
Can I install an offline update instead of flashing, to update 4.2.2?

I'm not sure what you are meaning by "offline" update... But how to update manually is covered in above thread. ?
Yeah I meant manually updating. Thanks.

there are two types of Update.
OTA update (they are incremental, only flash what changed since the last version, need to be stock recovery, and rest of phone as close to stock as possible. and you'll need a certain version on your phone)
Flashing a full SBF (as explained earlier when I mentioned about possibly flashing the Rogers XT1058 rom, and pointed you towards using Option 5 and its pre-req's at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html . It has a couple commands repeated which makes it a little more successful. )
Either way, in your situation, is risky.
I've just purchased a used MotoMaker Moto X XT1058. It has been reset to factory stock. I'm assuming it was purchased as an AT&T carrier phone as the only carrier branded app's is myAT&T, Visual VoiceMail and the AT&T Address Book in the Settings Menu. The info that might be needed to answer my question is as follows:
Android version: 4.2.2
System ver: 139.7.17.ghost_ATT.en.US
Build #: 13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17
bootloader: 30.70
Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 1 (I'm assuming either Sunshine or China Middleman.)
FYI, I do have experience in unlocking bootloaders, installing recoveries, ROM's, SBF's, etc., on my Gnex and a few other phones. This is my first contact with a Moto X. Also, I have done quite a bit of reading the past few days but have been unable to obtain the information I seek to ease my concern about the correct way to proceed with this phone.
I intend to activate with Cricket wireless so there should not be a problem with carrier unlocking being needed, I'm thinking. My ultimate goal is to be on stock LP with wifi tethering (i.e. Hotspot) functioning.
Finally, my question is this: What is the best route to take from where I'm at to stock LP with WiFi Hotspot? I realize that stock LP isn't available so what would be a good temporary ROM until LP is here? Maybe I should stay with 4.2.2 until then? I would appreciate the experience that you all have to offer that will prevent me from making a mistake that could be avoided.
Best regards,
RFeTech
Where did you purchase it from?
Boot the phone into Fastboot/Bootloader mode. hook it to the PC and do a fastboot getvar all and post what it says for the following...
(bootloader) version-bootloader:
(bootloader) revision-hardware:
(bootloader) unlocked:
(bootloader) sku:
(bootloader) cid:
(bootloader) ro.build.id:

(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[0]:
(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[1]:
(or copy/paste the entire output into a post and I'll pick it out).
Btw, does it have any ATT branding on the case? Were you told what carrier it was supposed to be for? Does it say Made in China, or Made in USA in the very fine print on its back?
Removed. I guess post was not appreciated.
KidJoe, thanks for your offer to help.

Looking good so far... a few more things I need to know...
(bootloader) unlocked:
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid:
(bootloader) imei: <- don't paste your IMEI value, just tell me it its correct, or if its all zeros.
(bootloader) iccid: <- don't paste your ICCID value, just tell me if its all zeros or not.
Something else.. For an ATT XT1058, the usual value for CID is 0x01 so I am surprised to see you report the CID is 0x00. And I'm surprised someone would go through the trouble to unlock the bootloader, but stay on the initial shipping rom.
As long as the above values check out ok... (unlocked and iswarrantyvoid should say YES), and there is nothing special needed for Cricket, then to return the phone to "stock" and the latest firmware, I would consider just flashing the ATT 4.4.4 SBF via mFastboot. Unfortunately you'll get all the ATT bloat with it. There is a link in my signature for where to get the SBF files, and follow method 2 in the return to stock thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515 (just skip the VZW lines since you have ATT).
After that, since the bootloader is unlocked, Download the latest TWRP Recovery from -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/234 (under the Download-Fastboot heading) and the latest SuperSU from -> http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu or the latest CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and Root by following -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/step-step-instructions-unlocking-t2649738
Since I have Verizon, I haven't kept up on the tethering methods for use on the other carrier varients of the Moto X... you could try Xposed and this mod -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/xposed-moto-x-4-4-native-tether-apk-t2601859
Or you can try -> https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
for my VZW X Dev Ed, I have been successful using used the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
If you have troubles, its also suggested to...
check box: wifi-driver reload 2
Not sure if those same settings work on other carriers though...

Yeah... I was hoping to avoid the AT&T bloatware. Reckon I'll look inside the SBF to see what's there before flashing it. I've searched around for a 4.4.4 stock with bloatware removed but no luck. Ver 4.2.2 seems pretty snappy on my Moto X compared to my GNex. I hope 4.4.4 on the MoTo X will be as good or better?? Maybe someone will release a stock LP without bloatware, when possible.
Was also hoping to avoid Xposed since I have no need for anything except tethering. I used the WiFI tether app a few years ago on the original Droid X and liked it very much. I read that you were using it also. This is my first GSM phone and I'm liking what I've seen so far with the phone and with Cricket. I've been with Verizon (and Alltel before Vz bought them) for ~25 yrs. Guess that dates me. I still have the unlimited data plan but don't really use enough to justify it. Looking to save some dollars with Cricket without giving up much in data speeds. So far, so good!!

Have you looked at Eclipse 4.4.4? It is stock based so all moto features work. Wifi tether is built in. I think you would really like it. Just something to think about if you are looking for a stock debloated rom. This is far from stock, but all stock features work.

Yes, I have looked at it and put it on my short list if I do end up going with a custom ROM. I've run several custom ROMs over the years and just never utilized very many features and that's why I hope to stay as stock as possible. As you know, Eclipse is a CMDA ROM that has been modified to work with GSM phones. I'm not saying that is a problem, but it does lend itself to not being ideal for a GSM phone. Also, I could never confirm that the wifi tethering would work on the GSM version of the ROM. Maybe I'm wrong. Since I have to upgrade to stock 4.4.4 before installing Eclipse 4.4.4, then I might as well give stock 4.4.4 a try and maybe I can get tethering working on it before going to a custom ROM.
Either way, I do appreciate your input. All of this is helping me learn important things about the Moto X that I'm sure will come in handy in the future. Thanks!

Sorry, I am not on AT&T. I am on Verizon and only run Eclipse for 99% of the time. And native tethering is always built in so I have never had any issues with tethering.

I'm sure you're very busy but did you have a chance to look at the getvar dump that I posted, at your request. There were a couple items that might have been of concern to you so I was hoping to hear from you before I started flashing.

There are a few that surprise me under normal situations.. For example, XT1058 with ATT Firmware and a CID of 0x00, saying Unlocked=Yes with WarrantyVoid=No...
ATT branded XT1058 Cid is not 00. And unlocking the bootloader usually sets WarrantyVoid value to Yes. Now, if Sunshine was used, that might explain (since I never looked at the getvar all output from someone who had used Sunshine to unlock).
Those values are better than those who had Unlocked and WarrantyVoid set to "unknown" or "unsupported" and CID of 0xDead that I've seen some other users report when they got a used, or from ebay seller, XT1058 that still had the initial shipping rom on.
You should be relatively ok to flash or do what you want.

Thank you again @KidJoe
From stock recovery, I reset to factory and then cleared cache. Using fastboot, I flashed the AT&T 4.4.4 ROM. I reset to factory and cleared cache again. I then drove around for an hour checking signal strength and quality to verify that 4.4.4 was as good or better than 4.2.2. I was impressed. I then flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0 and installed SuperSU 2.46. Next, I installed EntitlementBypass-v1.2 and that did the trick for the WiFi Hotspot issue. So... now I have just what I was hoping for except Lollipop. Maybe that will come soon.
I also read the thread where you helped @RafaySid with a similar problem. Since AT&T 4.4.4 has more bloatware that 4.2.2 did, do you think I could safely install the Rogers SBF? It appears that it worked OK for @RafaySid.
Many thanks to @KidJoe and @Travisdroidx2.

Because you are bootloader unlocked, and your CID is 00, you can flash it.. HOWEVER... keep in mind that different build levels of 4.4.4 might have different GPT.BIN or MOTOBOOT.IMG parts. These parts can't be downgraded, so when you flash, the SBF must have the same or newer GPT.BIN/MOTOBOOT.iMG compared to what is on your phone.

Yeah... I was hoping to avoid the AT&T bloatware. Reckon I'll look inside the SBF to see what's there before flashing it. I've searched around for a 4.4.4 stock with bloatware removed but no luck. Ver 4.2.2 seems pretty snappy on my Moto X compared to my GNex. I hope 4.4.4 on the MoTo X will be as good or better?? Maybe someone will release a stock LP without bloatware, when possible.
Was also hoping to avoid Xposed since I have no need for anything except tethering. I used the WiFI tether app a few years ago on the original Droid X and liked it very much. I read that you were using it also. This is my first GSM phone and I'm liking what I've seen so far with the phone and with Cricket. I've been with Verizon (and Alltel before Vz bought them) for ~25 yrs. Guess that dates me. I still have the unlimited data plan but don't really use enough to justify it. Looking to save some dollars with Cricket without giving up much in data speeds. So far, so good!!

Very curious, the getvar data you posted. It suggests your phone may be a Motorola engineering device that was never intended for sale. Congrats on the phone, you might have gotten a special one.
P.S. Out of curiosity, does the model number written on the back of the phone match? (ie. does it say XT1058 or some other model number?)

It has a Moto Maker back cover but it does have XT1058, made in USA, on it.
The bootloader was unlocked, status code 1, with I received it and it was running 4.2.2. I purchased another Moto X 2013 this week and it also came with 4.2.2. I unlocked with Sunshine and it states, status code 3. The first phone doesn't present the unlocked bootloader warning screen regardless of me flashing a complete 4.4.4 SBF. The second phone does show the warning screen so I have to re-flash the logo.bin in order to not show it. To me, that's another odd thing about the first phone. Also, despite numerous phone calls and emails to AT&T and Motorola, I've been unable to get a carrier unlock code for the first phone. Although it took a long phone call, I was able to get a code for the second phone. Go figure!!
Thanks for your comment.

Yep, the first phone's behaviour sounds like an engineering phone. Status code 0 is locked, 1 is engineering, and 3 is unlocked. The Moto Maker back is weird though for an engineering phone. Maybe they forgot to blow the secure boot fuses when building it in the American factory. Very strange. I'd reckon that phone would be able to run unsigned TrustZone images and such. Even if you can't carrier unlock it, keep it. Also, NEVER EVER run "fastboot oem lock" on that phone, as you can never go back to engineering status after you lock it.
The second phone you bought sounds like a normal Moto X. Status code 3 is what you should get when you unlock a secure device.

Is this something the modding community would benefit from having? If the phone is uniquely capable of accepting unexpected flashes I'm envisioning some of our really smart people learning more by having that phone in their hands. Am I way off base?

How are you trying to unlock it? The official Motorola unlock will not work on the AT&T model. Since you are on 5.1 you're likely out of luck, unless you are rooted somehow. If you are rooted, use SunShine to unlock your bootloader.

I´m trying to unlock the bootloader with the Fastboot command “fastboot oem get_unlock_data” to get the unlock code from motorola.
The Moto X is not a AT&T, is from "Movistar Chile" (southamerica), i have this phone from the past week so I want to try to unlock the bootloader to install the TWRP app to test some custom rom.
Actually the XT1097 is not rooted.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Still, the xt1097, AT&T or not, does not work with OEM unlock.

That is incorrect, all of the xt1097s can be unlocked except for the AT&T which cannot.
To unlock it on 5.1 you need to go into developer settings and turn on OEM unlocking. After that you can unlock the bootloader, and no sunshine is not necessary for the xt1097 from chile.

Thanks for the correction. I was under the impression that the South American models had a different model number. I will remember that! [emoji1]

In south america we have the xt1097. Also in canada they have the xt1097. Unlockable in canada and south america. It's only the american xt1097 from at&t which they made it impossible.

well, so i understand that the only way is SunShine and install kingroot and use that to temproot.

No, listen to @AGISCI.

The xt1097 is unlockable without kingroot and sunshine.
However the the could not get unlock data seems to be an error that I could not find a solution for. Only a few people have had that error, and did not find a solution. There may be something wrong with it in your phone.

I am getting this same error on an XT1053 DE. OS is 5.1, CID is 0x00, everything else looks good, but "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" will only return "Could not get unlock data!" Complete with frustrating exclamation point. Hopefully a solution is found soon, since I think it is a new error that we are going to see more of.
