The current official version for the carrier is 4.0.2 with firmware V10f.
I followed RadGasm's instructions over here in order to downgrade to V10c and thehn I used Bin4ry's method to gain root.
What are the next steps after this? I wanted to install one of the KitKat ROMs available for the phone, but when I installed CWM and attempted to flash and boot into recovery the phone soft-bricked, displaying the LGE_Security "unrecoverable boot loader error". I solved this by flashing back to V10c.
Does firmware or carrier matter when upgrading to a newer version of Android? Did I just get unlucky with CWM? I'd like to keep trying but with some guidance, because all these wasted procedures are getting to be quite annoying and time-consuming...
EDIT: so I gather Jelly Bean needs to be installed first? Can't figure out a way to do that...
Canadian p880 can't have jellybean, and thus cant have unlocked bootloader and custom roms. Sorry
edit:
some more info since this was written from my phone - canadian optimus 4x is actually branded p880g, and the firmwares for p880 simply can't be flashed. thus, the latest available version is ICS, unfortunately

That's unfortunate. I don't know about the versions for other countries, but my phone is an incredible piece of junk. It overheats, slows down over time, glitches, and drains the battery in record time. I was hoping new software might fix some of the issues.
WIND doesn't even offer this phone anymore... I'm a sucker for not having returned it within the first week.
Thanks for your reply!

You don't have to lock boot loader in order to get the new 5.1. By now is a soak and the only way to get it is side loading the zip. When the official 5.1 arrives I am pretty sure that some folks will upload the entire system image and you will only need to flash the files via fast boot. Be patient. And yes, it will work with any variant of the Moto X.
hi
I have flashed back to stock using that method..but now I have lost my signal..it shows no signal and no Sim card..help me please...xt 1092..

The stock recovery image is intended for the USA pure edition, not any others. The main difference is the modem you flash might not work in all international locations.
That's the only thing I can think of, try and find a community posted image from your region and flash that instead of the USA image.
Alternatively only flash the modem files from your region.
Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

You don't need to ota... If there will be update to 6.0.1 or something like that, I believe you could dirty flash the update without problems.
Removing the ota was to prevent people from bricking their phone because of some reasons and this is the best solution for that.
apprecaited, i just installed it, and i found it still have whats app and some other application i installed on verizon rom, i wied every thing on twrp and that even removed the os, am doing it again now,.

The Original was the one which came with it, and it was going mad, 0%, 65% 97% 15% off , back on etc.
Then I ordered one off Ebay and it doing same, it is Chinese brand I would think.
The problem I got is, I flashed the XT890 back when the EU version was the only GB closest, since no GB version of 4.4.2.
Now when I try RSD Lite to reflash or go back to 4.1 it fails.
I had a folder with the Items back from 2013 or 2104 maybe, but can't remember the process and so I need to Unroot?
I have tried putting FW on SD but it fails there too.

Hello you could a have a look at this thread about your battery issue,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198774
What i have learned is that you can not downgrade the firmware if it is older than the current software on the phone.
So if you have android KITKAT 4.4.2. you cannot flash to jellybean or ice cream sandwich and they are the only firmwares available at the firmware centre.
If you have a unlocked bootloader it is possible to reflash downgraded firmware but do so at your own risk !
Have you tried the Motorola app called Smart Actions for battery ?
You could try to intstall this firmware software from your SD card, using TWRP,
Blur_Version.990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.EU.zip?dl=0
and this one too,

When you said early in the post that you have changed the firmware on the system motherboard (The problem I got is, I flashed the XT890 back when the EU version was the only GB closest, since no GB version of 4.4.2.) how did you flash the phone with KITKAT EU ? did you do it with system menu OTA update via the internet ? or did you flash it with firmware from a file downloaded from the internet ?
I think the problem will be the firmware that you installed because when you flash firmware you need the serial number from under the battery or where the number is located to get the right version of software for the phone.
It has to be the same or newer for it to work properly, or the phone to operate correctly.
So you could only downgrade the phone to the original stock rom firmware for it to operate and function correctly.
Is the bootloader locked or unlocked ? because with a locked bootloader you will not be'able to downgrade to original stock rom firmware. With locked, the firmware is stuck as it is unless it is original stock rom on the system motherboard which you can easy reflash with RSD lite recovery software.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i/help/qa-razr-xt890-4-4-2-eu-ota-update-t3094784
I asked at the start here, what is the Process, as all I remember is, I got the files from here back 2015 by the looks.
Then either updated by RSD or put on SD and done it.
Since mine is a GB phone, there was no GB version and I had to use the EU one.
I have no clue now if I locked or unlocked it.
I had to boot up my old XP machine and it had all the Adb and Moto files in one folder. but none of those files seem to work, eventhough RSD shows my Phone on USB on the XP machine, but not on the Win10 machine I have now.
I retried RSD and I took out a few lines from the xml and it bricked my phone.
I did recover it and the onlything that seemed to have changed was the baseband.

I managed to get to CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU and it has gone back to 4.1.2
It see's CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml on my SD as an Update, not sure why?
Is it not the same?
Since doing this, my battery only lost 60% in 2 1/2 days.
Clearly either the FW got bugged or an App was doing something.
I have installed a Security software and it came up with phishing warning, but how would I know if that was true with that FW version?

Hi the firmware should be fine with no issues and you installed Jellybean 4.1.2 european version, my phone is the same as yours but with KITKAT 4.4.2. and the battery discharges about the same. Install eset security from google play store or any other website, and install DU Battery Saver Pro and other DU software for android, these are all available at the google play store and you should have no problems with the battery.
