HI,
I recently got a Moto x (unlocked and system version 139.4.5ghost_row_LRA.en.us) from ebay. The original carrier was bluegrass cellular and now am using lycamobile sim card on it. It currently has andriod 4.2 on it. I like to upgrade that to 4.4 for couple of reasons. But later i figured out that there is no upgrade available for this system version.
is there any other way i can get kitkat on my device? By rooting or etc???
I read many ways to do this in internet and confused. Am not sure if this system version does matter while rooting or not. Can some one please help me out here and give me step by step instruction to get kitkat?
Hello All.
I recently picked up a Comsumer Cellular Moto G 2014 Model XT1064. I am currently trying to allow it to receive OTA updates or at the very least upgrade it to lollipop. I've followed this guide [here] and I have unlocked the bootloader, however I am having trouble getting my hands on proper links. I managed to 'downgrade' to 21.11.13.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US cc however I cannot flash any other roms. I tried flashing an XT1068 5.2 rom using fastboot however with the dual sim ROM, I got no service from my sim card.
Information and links seem to be scarce for this model so any finger in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You can forget OTA since Consumer Cellular will not push out OTA's. I personally am going to hold at 5.01 since Motorola is close to pushing out 5.1 which is supposed to fix a few things. I flashed my CC Moto with TWRP straight to 5.01 from 4.4.4 with the Titan Rom located in the General forum.

I have sprint version of moto X (it's XT1056) , i unlocked it and i'm using it on gsm carrier . it's Bootloader unlocked.
I'm trying to convert it on EU version (1052) , i've flashed XT1052 stock lollipop rom with RSDLite , but i've lost IMEI/Baseband, after that i've recovered them with flashing fsb and nhlos files from sprint official kitkat rom.
So , this is a part where i need help, isn't there any way to flash 1052(in my case) official rom with working baseband and phone functions?
I really wanted lollipop at the time so I installed lollipop from Motorola through recovery but it was the one from a different region or part of the world, It didn't install correctly (I wiped phoned before install) so after that happened I tried to install back to my regions (US Retail) stock 4.4.4 Kitkat but now it didn't want to install that either. The only ROM that I can get to install now is Cyanogen and a few other custom ROMs but still no stock by now lollipop has come out for my model and region XT1045 (Moto G 4G LTE Retail) but I cant get that to install either (I have stock image of lollipop).
INFO:
ROM Currently: CyanogenMod
Model: XT1045
Recovery: TWRP
Bootloader: Unlocked
Rooted: yes
Please ask for any other info that will assist you in solving my problem. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Bootloader: Unlocked status code: 3

Hi guys. I bought an unlocked Sprint LG V40 (V405UA). I am from Argentina and it works perfect in my country with my SIM card, but the problem is that it has the Sprint firmware and it is in Android 8.1 and it won't update if i am not with Sprint contract i think. I'd like to have the stock global firmware and get OTA updates (Android pie at least). I see a page called "lg-firmwares.com" with all models firmwares and tutorials, but i am noob in this matter and i don't want to "brick" my phone or lose the unlocked condition. If i follow the "lg-firmwares.com" tutorial and flash the Android pie firmware for my model, can i brick my phone or lock it again? or it is secure and everythink will be ok?
Thanks.

Okay you have 3 ways to do this.
1st. If rooted/Unlocked Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-crossflash-unlocked-pie-to-t3944359
2nd If rooted/Unlocked Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-make-lg-v40-compatible-lgup-t3953120
3rd I personally haven't tried this yet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/lg-1-16-t3967559
With the 3rd one you should just simply be able to flash any KDZ but you should make sure it's compatible first.
But once you Crossflash no more OTA's you would have to download NEW KDZ and flash it over the one your on.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858 This Guide i made should help you with your 3rd question. That we have seen no you shouldn't loose Sim unlock if it's factory unlocked or if you carrier unlocked it for you after so many months being active with them. You always loose your data when KDZ flashing. You wont get OTA updates if you Crossflash...if you stay with your current rom OTA's should be possible
If you're using a us carrier phone outside of the us, you should just forget about ota. It won't work. Do yourself a favor and learn about the various flash methods. You're gonna need one of them at least to keep it updated.
Thanks guys. It sucks that it's imposible for me to get OTA updates, but at least i can try flashing my phone to keep it updated. I will check the guide and learn more about it then. Anyways i think this is an amazing phone and a bargain for the price nowadays..
I have android pie
