I just got an unlocked XT1095 from a friend, and am new to the 2nd gen moto (had a 1st for a while and loved it.)
1. Will I be able to use this thing while traveling in Spain? Does it have the necessary radios?
2. Is there any way to use it with Sprint in the US? Over LTE? Even just for data?
3. What's the best way to root it if I only have a Mac? (It's on 5.0)
Thanks!
Hello? Is anyone in here?

1. Yes. It'll be limited. You probably won't have LTE but you should have HSPA. The Wikipedia pages have frequencies by country and service provider. Just compare.
2. No

I have a Telus XT1097. I know that without having a root method atm it is still just speculation but are we aware of any hardware differences or other issues that would make a convert to pure edition (xt1095) impossible?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried unlocking your bootloader? It seems to me the Telus version is pretty much a Pure Edition, except for the model number... BTW does it have any TELUS bloatware at all?
FYI I believe the 1095 has different frequency bands.

I have not because as far as i understood the method was exclusively for the xt1095 but I'll give it a shot.
As far as bloatware, the only thing Telus installed on this phone is their "My Account" app. It's an app that you can download from the play store.
It's interesting to see the marketing used on Telus' website to describe the Moto X. The catchphrases are: "Pure Style, Pure performance" and then "Pure Android with the quickest updates". It leads me to believe that Telus will pretty much push out updates as they recieve them from Moto.
I'll be less inclined to root and flash if I see that I get timely updates, after using galaxy phones and flashing for the past 5 years i just want something that works great or of the box.

Jeremie

I have a brazilian version, also model XT1097 from carrier Vivo and I was able to unlock the bootloader and root it normally. Would like to know the difference between the XT1095 and XT1097 though.

I have XT1093 (US Cellular). The Pure Edition root method works for all variants with unlockable bootloaders. The key is to follow the directions completely. As it only BOOTS the system image rather than INSTALLS the image, it works fine. Boots the image once, installs SU to your system, then reboots to your system.

hey, I was thinking of getting a Moto X, and was wondering, is the one sold at Telus 16 or 32 GB?

Only the 16GB
I thought I was getting a Pure Edition when I bought the unlocked version from Motorola's mexican website, but I got the xt1097... if this is possible that would be great as I believe the pure edition will get updates faster
Could anybody supply the modem for the Telus xt1097? I converted my phone and forgot to backup the modem.

Sure thing,
I used the multitool to flash that Pure Edition Moto X 2014 (XT1095) ROM (full wipe)
Then flashed ATT Modem (downloaded from graffixnyc website)
Then sidloaded OTA update
Then restored my EFS from my TWRP backup.
Everything booted up fine, except I don't have a cell signal. It asks me for a SIM network unlock PIN. I'm stuck here.... I want to try and flash the telus modem. Not sure why it's asking for a SIM unlock PIN.
I mean how can I back up the modem file for you

It was asking you for unlocking cuz Att modem is sim locked.
So did you manage to successfully convert to 1095? I'd like to try, but I'm a bit worried about the modem issues, I'd need a sim unlocked modem i can use with Brazilian operators.
I'm a noob in moto x developing, so I'm already reading what multitool is and how-to's.

Any luck getting your phone working? You have an XT1097 right?
Hey guys,
Telus XT1097 user here.
Trying to flash back to stock so I can get some lollipop action.
Which factory image should I be installing here ? I don't think our phones are dev editions / pure editions...
Thanks !
Here is everything you need guys.

It's in Dutch but gives you step by step instructions how to backup your modem and restore it using dd commands. A google translate should suffice.
I have a 1097, but i haven't done anything yet, i don't wanna mess up my brand new phone LOL
i'm reading about the changes to 1095 and mostly the modem issue.

I wonder if that only works on some XT1097 phones, I got a "Permission Denied" error when I tried it on mine.
i found a moto X developer and will this work on the att network and i hope someone can help me out?
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
According to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X#Variants
The Moto X model XT-1053 is the unlocked Developer Edition phone and does work on AT&T. The bands area also listed there.
thank for the help.
So i have to download the moto X developer image for att right?

Yes that appears to be correct. I do not have a Developer Edition, but there is only one set of images for Verizon, which does have a DE device available. The firmware is the same, to my understanding, but the bootloader is able to be unlocked officially via the Motorola website.
Here are the firmwares you'll want. Ensure that if you pick one, you can only go UP in version, not down. So verify which version is on the phone first. You can only flash that version or a higher version (upgrading) but cannot downgrade to an older version. That will cause problems.

XT1060 is the model for Verizon.
Google what bands it uses. Then compare to what at&t uses. I've seen in here people using it on tmo Idk about at&t. As far as which version to mix with your phone I'll bow out to someone with more experience with that
Edit: and next time you post make sure you put what MODEL phone you have and the software version. Would've saved some time possibly.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm very new to the whole rom-switching and phone-rooting world.
I have a Verizon Moto X (I believe it's XT1060) with stock everything. I am absolutely sick of waiting for Verizon to release the update to 5.1.1. So, I want to do it myself, but I still want it to be Motorola's version of Android. Can someone please give me a step by step guide on how to do so? Thanks!
Are you in 4.4.4? If so, your are SOL.

Hi.
So I bought this xt1097 AT&T branded.
I would like to keep only one feature from T-Mobile and it's WiFi calling. Rest of the phone can be stock Motorola.
Is it possible to flash any ROM that would have T-Mobile WiFi calling?
Oh the phone is 5.1 already.

I was under the impression that the moto x 2014 does not have wifi calling. Which means that flashing another rom won't give you it either.

OK. Thank you.
I thought it would be only software since this cheep pos Alcatel one touch has it.
I didn't look if all android phones have it.
I guess that I'll pack it too when traveling to Canadia aye.
Thank you again.
One more thing. Sine I can't really navigate this forum and also don't know what I should be looking for. Can someone out of their kindness from their heart point me to directions on how to root the xt1097 with 5.1android?
I found so far confusing info as to that 5.1 can't be rooted.
Thank you again.

In theory, you should be able to flash twrp on your device and flash the latest supersu zip. I haven't tried this so I cannot tell if it would work or not. Anyways here is the link for twrp: https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotox2014.html and for supersu: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/

hi, i would like to buy Motorola Droid 4 to use it on Europe.. it has to be unlocked or after i flash any custom rom i will be able to use it on any GSM?
thanks
I just upgraded from my trusty Xperia Pro It's easy: just root it, install safestrap and then cyanogenmod. All steps are described here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_maserati
In Settings, you will then be able to select desired network config.

i had Xperia pro too was good phone ? ! i know how to do it but on e-bay they say Motorola Droid 4 network locked... when i root it and i switch to cm11,cm12 it will be able to read my sim, will be unlocked or not?
Mine is Verizon-branded. So, CM will unlock the radio - at least for Verizon.

This is probably too late, but if you want to use the droid 4 with any sim card you need to buy one that is unlocked (!!!) otherwise it will be useless and there is no way to change that.
I wasted money because of that once aswell, and the one i bought was verizon branded but not unlocked. I even had a lengthy talk to verizon in the US about it, there was nothing i could do.
