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.

Hi there,
I've been looking on XDA for a guide on how to flash stock 4.4.4 rom for Moto X XT1052. I'm also looking for the actual rom
Can anyone help me because I haven't been able to find it yet.

Something like this but then for the Moto X:

First off, you have an XT1052, please only flash an XT1052 rom/SBF. I've seen XT1052 users try flashing XT1053 or XT1058 roms which left there radio's non-functioning.
Also be advised that you can not downgrade GPT.BIN and Motoboot.img. If you flash an SBF meant for another model, it might have a newer GPT.BIN/Motoboot.img and that could prevent you from flashing back to your stock XT1052 rom/SBF. (I've seen this also happen with XT1052 users who tried flashing Moto SBF's meant for other model 2013 X's.)
Lastly, you link to an XT1045 which is a Moto G meant for ATT USA, and completely different than the XT1052 (which is of course a 2013 Moto X).
As for the process of flashing back to stock, please see -> [GUIDE][VIDEO] Moto X - Return to 100% stock (using RSD Lite OR manual flash)
Thanks, will have a look.

I have done this by mistake without verifying the XT type properly and now radio is not functioning. Is it possible to get radio back if I re-flash with the proper XT type? I haven't tried this yet, but downloading image from site filefactory at folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/ based on recommendation else where on xda. Or will this be futile attempt?

Some of the older posters couldn't get the radio working after flashing the correct one. bUT it's worth. Shot to flash with the latest 5.1 SBF for your model.

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--I'm trying to help a friend with a messed up moto x.
It's on 4.4.4 (including bootloader), and somehow he messed something up in his system directory, so he can't upgrade...he needs to first flash back to stock 4.4.4
I can't find an sbf for the xt1058 on 4.4.4 (It's a Rogers phone...though I'm sure he'd be happy with t-mobile/pure software too...and I seem to remember that with an unlocked bootloader that is possible to do?) and he can't downgrade because he's got the new bootloader.
He IS bootloader unlocked, if that matters.
Any help would really be appreciated!

I unlocked the bootloader on my XT1096 (verizon) Moto X 2014. Currently running stock 5.1 ROM.
What's the best way to get Marshmallow on? Can I use a ROM from another model? Do I need to flash a recovery? Thanks.

The only way to get Marshmallow on a verizon would be with a custom rom that supports CDMA. I know that CM13 supporta CDMA so that one would work.
And while yes you could flash the rom from another model like the xt1095, it would lose verizon signal since the other models are GSM instead of CDMA.

tomas1pit said in the bootloader unlock thread:
"if u want to convert your device dont forget about NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. That is modem files. U should take them from official 5.1 image for xt1097 otherwise your network wont work"
Would I be able to flash the XT1095 stock MM image and then copy those files over, retaining Verizon signal?

tomas1pit is incorrect, if you look in other threads of people that have unlocked bootloaders with verizon, they lose signal completely if they convert to another model. He does not realize that xt1096 is CDMA, the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn apply to GSM.
You can still get signal if you change to another model, but only if you put a sim chip in your phone for AT&T, T-Mobile, etc since those companies are GSM. The problem is that switching firmware makes it incompatible with verizon.
If you plan to stay with verizon, custom roms are your only choice. If you change to a GSM company then you can use the stock firmware from another model.

Roger. Thanks.
It took a few tries to get TWRP on... I had to use crpalmer's custom version, the regular version didn't work. I'll hunt around for a custom ROM. If anyone has any suggestions (as close to stock Android as possible) I'd appreciate it.

No problem. Your best bet would be to read the custom rom threads and see if any say they support cdma. Or post in the thread to ask the developer if it does.
The only one I know for sure works with verizon is CM13, since I have read that some verizon users have tried it and it worked for them. I assume that roms that are based off CM might work, but you know what they say about assuming... Anyway good luck finding a rom you like.

I unlocked the bootloader on Verizon xt1096 Android 5.1, installed latest twrp recovery and installed SuperSU and am rooted. Woot. Twrp is super useful! I'd just be careful with what you're flashing of course.
I couldn't get official TWRP to work, but this custom version worked for me:

After I installed TWRP, I just flashed SuperSU and got root.

Same situation. Just recently unlocked the bootloader on my XT1096 (Verizon Moto X 2). Trying to figure out how to get to Marshmallow (stock or rooted) but with Verizon radios. Can't seem to find XT1096/Verizon radios in a flashable zip.

Just a little humor. I have reached out to KidJoe here for some help. I also reached out to MotoCare and they are sending me a new MotoX (for me to tinker with some more).
I would suggest that we need to find a way to get the XT1096 to XT1095, while keeping factory bootloader to accept future OTAs. The VZW radios are out there, just will need to flash them via ADB if/when new OTAs come though.
So for right now, no other custom rom will work with the xt1096 unless somebody makes it specifically or customizes a different rom to suit it right?
CM13 and derived ROMS should work. There are other non-Marshmallow ROMs, I think.

Where did you get this? All the official TWRP builds throw a mismatched partition size error and won't install.
If I understand correctly, if I'm not using the phone on Verizon I can install any ROM?
crpalmer posted it in the CM12 thread.
I was able to get the latest TWRP installed. Took a few attempts.
i flashed mine with twrp it said the same thing when i fastbbot flashed it but it worked i just booted in recovery any ways and it worked
