The phone is a XT1095; Pure Edition
So I unrooted the phone and flash the stock 5.0 image from Motorola.
In the bootloader, it's still showing that the software was modified even though the phone has been unrooted.
I've wiped cache and did a factory reset and still no change.
Any ideas? I'm sending the phone back for RMA and don't want Motorola rejecting my RMA because of the software status.

You need to reflash firmware.
I'm using a x1095.
I reflashed the stock firmware that is posted on Motorola's webpage.

Don't worry then. The XT1095 does not lose it's warranty because it is unlocked nd modified, it is the "pure edition".

This problem have one solution.
1. Restore STOCK firmware with ADB o RSDLITE
2. Install one update with MOTOROLA OTA
only then are transform "modified" to "official"

Yep, I noticed the same thing. I wonder why flashing stock 5.0 from Motorola doesn't set the status to official.
I don't now. But this is the only mode for change the status modified to oficial.

I thought if it was only the bootloader was unlock that would qualify? So with a Pure Edition Software Modified would qualify as well?

So fastboot method wouldn't work for #1?
I'll try to find an OTA that would work with the stock 5.0 image.
Moto X(2nd Gen) Pure Edition:
L-5.0-LXE22.46-11 TMO
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
Right now if I check for an update on the phone or use Motorola Device Manager, it doesn't pick up any updates.
Modified does not matter on the XT1095. The whole point in unlocking the bootloader is to modify it... So yes being modified ia covered.

Yes it will wipe clean everything. Just like the day you bought it from VZW. You will need to root again as well.

This is a time where I wish android had a stable backup option not requiring root. Normally I use titanium backup however I'm keeping this stock. iOS has nailed this with iCloud.

One thing that I forgot to add is you need to remove the getvar line in the .xml file.
I can only say this works for VZW. Not sure about other carriers.
so can someone post that they have returned to 4.2.2 from 4.4 on a locked bootloader vzw device please. I know people said you can, or it worked or whatever. But i just want to make sure that you are on a locked device and didn't misread the thread title or something.
yeah, post screen shots of kernel, etc.
I have personally done this on my LOCKED VZW Moto X.
Works like a charm. The RSD Lite, will flash it back to factory unrooted 4.2.2. You will have to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509590 to reroot if you want.

i upgraded to 4.4 from 4.2.2. my 4G signal now sucks. i figure my options are to revert to 4.2.2 or if i could just find the radio kernel (or whatever its called) from 4.2.2 flash that and fix my problems.
i just don't know how to do either. can someone help (yes, hand hold me *embarrassed*) through the process so i don't brick my device?

Steps that I took to downgrade from KitKat. VZW Moto X Consumer (non-dev) (LOCKED)
1) download and install RSDlite and Motorola Drivers (I used RSDlite 6.1.5)
2) Download http://sbfdownload.droid-developers...2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57-X-1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
3) Unzip the file
4) Open the .xml file and delete the line that has "getvar"
5) Reboot your phone to "bootloader/fastboot" mode
6) Open RSDlite and load the unzipped edited download from above
7) Make sure your phone shows up
8) Start the flash
9) Once complete the phone should reboot and start up like normal.
I have not had any issues. I have rerooted with RockMyMoto.
I have a Xt1095 PE Moto X. Can anyone clarify that if I have an unlocked bootloader and have rooted my phone if I will indeed receive the OTA for Lollipop and if it will install without issue? I haven't received any system update notifications nor when I check through the settings page, it states that I am up to date with KitKat. I don't mind waiting if I know I will receive it but I am not, I will manually flash it via the guide in the other thread.

Won't work. You have to be on stock. Reflash the factory images. Then sideload the ota. There are a bunch of guides.

Thank you very much sir. I figured this was the case but couldn't find any definitive post.
I think I'm in the same boat. Mine came with the boot loader already unlocked and system rooted. My recovery is stock.

The 4.4 bootloader is fine with every rom out there. I wouldn't take the OTA since you are unlocked bootloader just flash the stock roms via twrp on the android develop section there is one for 4.4, 5.0, and 5.1. its the best way to not risk hard bricks. I have switched back and forth several times going this route. AGISCI posted them.
I also just got an xt1095, is this the latest ROM http://www.filefactory.com/file/5d66szhobgmx/VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.6_cid9_CFC.xml.zip ?
Also, I have unlocked my bootloader but didn't root yet (this is with 4.4.4 installed). If i simply DL this image and flash it using TWRP (which i have installed) will it overwrite TWRP or break it in any way? Can I then simply root via TWRP ( assuming it is ok) and boom have a fully rooted Lollipop phone ?

You can't flash firmware files with TWRP, it won't work.
You have to flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
As far as if it overwrites TWRP. If you use RSDLite, yes it will erase TWRP and replace it with the stock recovery. If you use fastboot to flash just skip the recovery image when you are flashing.

Because the firmware files are just standard images which get flashed and overwrite the partitions. The zips you run in TWRP are instructions on what to do and install. They are completely different things/formats.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If you went to the 5.0.2 AT&T and your bootloader is locked, you won't be able to downgrade back to 5.0.1. Try getting a firmware that is the same version or newer.

Yeah, that's where I figured it was hanging. All signs just point to a bad flash/firmware. I'd try downloading a different version (even 5.1 since you're unlocked) or verifying the hash on the firmware you flashed. You can use HashMyFiles to check the md5 or SHA hashes.

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my Moto X 2014 to Marshmallow. The OTA upgrade appeared last week, but fails without any error message.
When the devices was new, I unlocked the boot and rooted it. The first upgrade (5.0) installed without any problem, but I chose not to root it anymore.
Upgrade to 5.1 failed. It worked after I reflashed the recovery.img(following idea from Q18 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/wip-frequently-questions-moto-x-2014-t2876769). The same happened with the Stagefright update some time later. Now, the Marshmallow upgrade is available, but reflashing recovery.img is no longer working. It simply fails without any meaningful message. Could someone help me?

No there is no other way. An OTA fails if you are not 100% stock. So that means no root, no xposed, no custom kernels, no modifications to anything that is in system. If even one thing is modified it WILL fail. So the solution is to go back to 100% stock by flashing the full firmware.

That's strange. When I upgraded to 5.1 and 5.1/stagefright, I had exactly the same setup: Boot unlocked, no root. It upgraded fine after just reflashing 'recovery.img'. Actually, when I upgraded from 4.4 to 5.0, the phone was rooted, and yet it upgraded perfectly.

Again as I stated, something is modified. In the OTA it checks for modifications, if it finds something modified it fails and exits without upgrading it. So if you want to take the upgrade you need to flash back to stock.
This forum is filled with posts and topics of people having to unroot to get the OTAs to work. So why it worked for you, no idea, since you are the only person I have ever seen who has stated that it worked while rooted. According to every other post on this forum, OTA fails when rooted...

Again as I stated, something is modified. In the OTA it checks for modifications, if it finds something modified it fails and exits without upgrading it. So if you want to take the upgrade you need to flash back to stock.

Ok. But still, why fully-reflashing? As I said, my phone is NOT rooted since 4.4. It's only boot unlocked, and both 5.0 and 5.1 where installed and no modifications made after that.

Look, somewhere in your phone there IS something that is NOT stock. What it is, we don't know. The ONLY way for you to take an OTA is to be 100% stock, if not it will fail. So the only solution is to get your phone to 100% stock to take the OTA, which means flash the full firmware. If you don't want to flash the full firmware then you will stay on 5.1.

Ok,
if that's the only route left, I will try it.

Ok. After backing-up everything I needed, I flashed the stock 5.1 image. Reinstalled all apps (actually, everything reinstalled automatically), restored backups, and then tried the upgrade. Both stagefright and marshmallow upgrades worked fine, and 6.0 is running fine.
Tks.
