The Fido Moto X uses the standard Rogers version, they are 100% the same. So no worries and flash away.

Flash Rogers baseband on Puerto-Rican phone? Or maybe...

Hi everyone! My model is XT1058, same as Rogers, as I understand. The LTE frequencies in my country are closer to Rogers, so I thought if its possible to use my phone with Rogers baseband and see if LTE is working. Flashing the whole Rogers image seems to be too much for me, is there any way to backup/flash only networking/baseband part, what is the best way, what tools are better to use? Or maybe this is impossible? The phone is unlocked, CWM Recovered and fully rooted, I think I am ready for experiments.

Hey buddy, same PR phone with you. Have you ever tried to flash other carriers(AT&T/Rogers) on your phone?
It seems the same as specification as XT1058.

Nope, that's why I am asking others, maybe someone has done it already. I am thinking of extracting system image from FXZ and flashing just that without touching the recovery or boot but wanted to collect authorities' oppinions on if its a wise move from their experience perspective.

[Q] Do I understand this right.

Do I understand this right. If I unlock my Droid 3 for T-mobile using this guide for changing the ROM and radios
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812&page=1
I will have T-mobile service but I will loose my Verizon service and the only way to revert back to Verizon is to use the stock XT862 ROM or will I be able to change between T-mobile and Verizon with the flashed XT 833 Rom and Radios?

You can switch radios without SBF. Just edit the two or three lines in the build.prop needed for GSM and connect your phone to a computer, flash the SBF radio.img or the radio.img included in that thread.

[Q] Alltel Moto X XT1050

Would like to root my XT1050, but cannot find the exact firmware to fall back on if something goes awry. My firmware is 139.4.6.ghost_row.ACG.en.US. The closest firmware that I have found is the Brightpoint 139.4.5.ghost_row.LRA.en.US, which is also the XT1050. My Alltel network is CDMA, but not sure if the Brightpoint is. Does anyone think this Brightpoint firmware would work if I needed to re-flash, or would it be missing the proper radios APN's etc....? Alltel was recently purchased by AT&T, and they told me that this phone was an AT&T phone that was LTE ready when they transition over in July. Most other Alltel users will need to replace their phones at this time. I keep looking for Alltel Moto X users here, but haven't seen any yet, as this phone is fairly new for Alltel. Any ideas?
ever find a root method
Was wondering if anyone with the alltel Moto X ever found a root method.

the brightpoint fxz is generic cdma. it worked fine on the vzw dev edition moto x with the 4.2.2 gpt/motoboot. not sure whether it will work on a locked alltel device, but there's a good chance that it will, since it is xt1050.
i'd try to root first; the worst that could happen is root will fail. if it succeeds, you can make a nandroid of your stock boot and system before making any further modifications.
if you do need to use the fxz to recover, you should flash only system.img. if that alone doesn't work, you may need to flash boot.img as well. there's really no need to flash anything else.
also, i'd recommend backing up your stock build.prop and replacing the brightpoint build.prop with it if you do flash system.img.
standard disclaimer: i'm not responsible for anything bad that may happen to your device as a result of attempting these things...
really need help

I was really hoping someone could upload a link for 139.4.6.ghost_row.ACG.en.US.xml.zip i have accidentally flashed the fsg and modem files for another version of xt1050 and i need alltel's version of these files. plz i can't seem to find a copy of this firmware anywhere and i no longer can get any cdma/evdo signal. all i can do is use a sim card for the time being and considering i am paying for the plan with alltel i'd like to take advantage of my data plan. when i dial *228 it only says call not sent.

I have the Moto X XT1050. U can unlock the bootloader using motorola's website. Then flash twrp using fastboot and use the recovery to root.
The recovery will install supersu. All I had to do was download supersu from the playstore. I also installed the cm12.1 nightly. Not bad. Its awesome. Just wish I could activate the thing. Someone told me I could just pop in an already active Verizon 4g SIM and it'll work. Havnt tried yet tho.

I'm in the same position as you man, I want to be 100% sure before doing anything, although mine has the lra firmware. You didn't got 4.4.2 OTA? Why don't you fall back to that one, it's easier to find and since we can unlock the bootloader the official way you don't have to worry..
Can't post the link, it in a filefactory folder
Lol I'm telling you twrp will root, do you need a link?

Moto x xt 1050 4.4.2 rooted, bootloader unlocked
Just to confirm guys, the motorola moto X xt1050 with android 4.4.2 is posible to root it and unlock the bootloader and install twrp. The problem that I am still having is that I cant change the apn. I am looking to find a way to do it manually , but so far no success.
If I find anything I will let you know, and if you find something please share it.

I just flashed cm12 via twrp. It automatically added the apn when I inserted the sim

[Q] Error while searching for networks

Hello XDA,
Before I came to this subforum I was under the impression I had a regular HTC One, I got the same error message and then figured out I had a Sprint HTC One.
Now I had the issue where I had no service at all, my Sim card seemed to be detected but I ofcourse had the wrong firmware on it likely causing the issue.
So I got new firmware and a cm 12 (also tried stock rom) rom, but comming up to the same error message. The Sim card is detected and I am asked to fill in the pin for it which I was not when I had the wrong rom/firmware. I am not sure what is going wrong and I hope you guys can help me.
I am in The Netherlands and I am using radio Baseband - 1.01.20.0515
Thanks
Edit:
Tried:
RUU's:
I tried flashing this ruu, no success.
I flashed 3.04.651.2 RUU and 5.05.651.2 RUU after that to be sure to have a radio (according to this thread) but with no success. I also tried flashing the radio Baseband - 1.01.20.0515 again after it dit not work.
Radio's:
Baseband - 1.01.20.0515
bump
I wish I could help. My only suggestion is to try to run the Sprint RUU to reset the phone back to stock with the latest firmware to see if that helps. Unless I'm mistaken, the issue is that Europe uses GSM and Sprint is a CDMA carrier. So, you may not even have the right radios in the phone. The only saving grace is that it is a worldphone that uses LTE bands so you might be able to access those. But, you may have to unlock the SIM card first. At this point, I'm pretty much just throwing out ideas I've seen on the site since I've never been in the situation myself.

The hardware is capable of doing it. Before I started flashing it worked fine. I've tried going back to the stock rom but with no success.

sounds like you flashed a gsm rom on a cdma phone, and now the partitions are messed up, only way out of that that I know of is running the RUU for the sprint phone.
I've tried that no success

[Q] Trying to go back to stock rom but not sure which to use.

I'm trying to help a friend out by unlocking her bootloader, rooting, and getting s-off. Which I did manage to do.
What I want to do now is go back to a stock rom that is compatible with her phone. I had installed CM 12.1 to test it out and see if she was ok with it, but she wants it back to how it looked before. Thing is, i've been trying to figure out which RUU to use with the CID this phone has and I can't seem to find one. Also, she uses straight talk but her phone model looks like it's a verizon type. She told me her carrier uses GSM but this phone looks like it may only be able to use CDMA. That explains why she can't use her data. She wanted me to do all this hoping it would work, but I didn't realize the issue to recently.
So I just want to get a working stock rom on this phone. I'm not trying to go back to locked, unrooted, and s-on... Just need a rom that will work with this phone. Can anyone help me out?

There are 3 companies using the Verizon variant (M7_VZW), Verizon(x.xx.605.x), Cellsouth (x.xx.563.x) and UTStarCom (x.xx.557.x).
Maybe you could change the CID to Verizon and flash a Verizon RUU or simply flash a close to stock custom rom compatible with verizon variant.
