I was wondering if there was a way to change my moto x xt1058 (currently with 4.4.2 Movistar Argentina) to an international or carrier free firmware?
I looked up in the firmware link from motorola and there seems it doesnt exist a 4.4.4 update, yet for the moto G it doesnt either but my brother currently have his on 4.4.4
Thanks in advance guys
AFAIK there's no international or carrier-free firmware per-se. You may want an AOSP-based ROM like SlimROM, DirtyUnicorns, etc.
You can flash a bloatware free version, though, but it will still be based on some carrer's ROM.
As of today, only Verizon has released its official 4.4.4 and will be full of bloatware also.
fortunately my phone came bloatware-free.
So the only 4.4.4 update out there is Verizon's?
My idea was to flash a firmware from which i would be able to get the earliest OTAs

Not only is this very risky (flashing another carrier's ROM), but also it doesn't mean that you'll get updates quickly at all!
In the case of the Moto X, Motorola has staggered the updates across all carriers. The camera update came first for 1 carrier. Then the 4.4 update came first for a different carrier. The 4.4.2 update was first for yet another carrier. The 4.4.3 update came first for the XT1053, and the 4.4.4 update came first for Verizon. There is nothing you can do to make sure you receive updates "earliest" - unless you switch carrier ROMS each time a new update is released. Not only is this ill-advised, but it could leave you with an expensive paperweight.
My advise is be patient. Your carrier WILL get it soon.
Ive got a carrier edition moto x (rogers) and want to convert it to the developer or tmobile version so I can get updates from motorola vs waiting forever...
Ive searched and cannot find the relevant info.
ive only rooted nexus devices this far.
End result im looking for is a unrooted device that can receive OTA updates from motorola
Appreciate any help

All Devices receive their updates direct from Moto....
Even if you do this, you still won't be the first to get updates. Almost every update so far has been "staggered" amongst the different carriers. One carrier got KK first, one got 4.4.3 first, VZW got 4.4.4 first....
Rogers WILL be on 4.4.4 very soon...
Is it just me or has Moto never rolled out 4.4.4 to the unlocked GSM editions? My mom bought an unlocked phone straight from Motorola and yet she's still on 4.4.3. We're using the phone on T-Mobile if that makes a difference.

It's not just you. T mobile version got 4.4.3. A bug was found after they started rolling it out, so they fixed it for the other models (that's the main difference between 4.4.3 and 4.4.4). Most of the other features/upgrades were included in 4.4.3, so they didn't make updating the t-mobile edition a priority. It'll probably get it after they finish all of the others are done unless android L is ready to go by then, in which case, it'll probably just get that.

Oops, looks like the site is down.
I got 4.4.4 just a week ago on Dev Edition
I got 4.4.4 just a week ago on Dev Edition, although its not TMobile,
So might be possible, yours on the way.:good:
4.4.4 for t-mobile version (any XT1053 model) was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Go to settings/about phone/system updates and you should update if you have a factory phone - if you have unlocked or rooted, go back to factory spec before trying to update.
I'm getting very little and conflicting information on the matter. I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with my phone. This is because I get the sense that the European user base for this model is incredibly small and I fear Motorola may have just forgotten about us.
I would need someone who has a XT1068 (that's the dual-sim version) and who brought it in Europe to confirm whether he/she has received any lollipop update through regular OTA.
I understand Indian users have gotten lollipop for at least a few weeks now, and that you can flash lollipop on XT1068 whether European version or not.
Also if you're someone who has kept track of different OTA's for the different models/regions, please let me know if I should start being impatient or if you have educated guesses about when European dual-sim users should expect an OTA. Thanks.
If you read post #71 and #83 here you´ll see ,that there still is no release date for the european XT1068 Dual-Sim:

Til now there is no OTA for this phone, no soak,no official. Motorola just says that they are working on it and it´ll be soon,whatever that means. I´m on 21.11.23 titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu,Build Nr. KXB 21.85-23, bought by Amazon germany and getting kind of imapatient....

I was a nexus 5 user 2 weeks back and among the first to run android 5.0 lollipop (obviously i flashed factory image , prior to that i used dev preview )
I never had the memory leak but yes the battery life became awful....wifi battery drain was also present and pretty random in nature... So exchanged it wid my not to geeky bro as i needed a dual sim phone.
If moto fixes those issues...then i guess the wait for the update is worth...
I'm convinced it will be a worthy update! ?

I am Algerian my phone European Moto G 2014 (XT1068) i´m on 21.11.27 titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu no updated
Thanks for everybody giving his own perspective. It's nice to see there are others running "reteu" who are all waiting for lollipop.
No update in Portugal yet.
I'm also with "reteu" and KitKat - XT1068. See there: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/edc7501cc4?page=21
I think that is good news. Also today I receive a few updates from Google Play and right now the launcher app drawer and folder is like Lolipop launcher. Maybe Lolipop is near.
I'm in Spain, I opted-in to become a tester in MFN, but I haven't recieved any updates.
Guess we are going to wait a little longer here in Europe...
update
No update in Belgiuml yet.
No update in Poland
Wysłane z mojego Moto G 2 Gen
Already mentioned... Its for limited users in India US and Brazil only

Your phone is broken, you should send it to service center

Nothing, Motorola not push yet OTA to your region
Hi,
As per title, what is the most up to date and easiest way to unroot and install a kitkat custom rom on a locked motoX 2nd gen (2014) with marshmallow 6.0?
My 2 years warranty is running out and am fedup with marshmallow. I'd like to go back to kitkat.
By the way what kitkat rom would you recommend?
Many thanks
Luca
done with issues
I did this from moto x 2014 xt1097 to xt1095 KitKat 4.4.4.
only issue is cellular stuck in radio mode so cant make calls or use data. hopefully can figure that out soon. I think I just need to find Canadian versions of modem files (for bell?).
only issue I cant remember how I did it!!!
83 hours on a next to bricked moto x 2014 and I was in "i don't care anymore mode" and was just downloading and flashing random stuff. give me a few days to figure out what I did so I know who to give thanks and credit to before I start linking other developers work.
Thanks, never mind I found what I want in a custom 6.0.1 ROM.
Best of luck with your smartphone
