It is possible.
Download 4.2.2 T-Mobile xt1053 firmware and flash system.img and boot.img via fastboot. Backup all data of your internal storage. Then erase your userdata via fastboot. Then reboot.
Commands;
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot erase userdata -w
Everything will work. but you will see 4g icon instead of 3g or h+ even if your connection have 3g. Don't forget to deactivating ota and don't install 4.4.2 update with ota(because I don't tried it and also don't recommend it)
You can upgrade it again to 4.4.2 with same method but you don't need erase userdata if you upgrade to newer version.

The battery is more friendly with 4.2.2 that 4.4.2?
What's happened for the baseband? The phone had 4.4.2 baseband. And only one more question
With this metoth the camera update don't brick the phone?

1. Battery on 4.2.2 is excellent compared to KitKat for me.
2. Don't touch any bootloader or radio files (baseband). 4.2.2 will run on KitKat baseband with no problem.
3. Camera updates comes via play store and there is no way brick phone with a update of play store app if you not like the updates you can uninstall app update.
And use mfastboot(Motorola fastboot) instead of normal fastboot.

And make sure you have $350 in your pocket, just in case. You're taking a very big risk. Many have bricked downgrading. Some thought they knew how, but made one false move...and boom. Paperweight.
Just a friendly warning.

With 4.4.2 the motoboot (bootloader) and GPT.BIN got updated. At least these two (and possibly other parts) prevent a 100% successful ROM downgrade to 4.4 or 4.2.2.
You can try to do as proxuser has said, and use mfastboot to flash only certain parts... BUT *IF* it is successful, you will have intermixed versions on your phone, so if you try and take an OTA in the future, it will fail or brick your phone.
I've also seen reports of people who downgraded only system and boot having issues trying to go under... Settings -> Security on the phone (it kicks them back out.
There were enough posts of bricking when downgrading from 4.4.2 that the general rule it is too risky to try.

Can I thus downgrade my xt1052 to 4.2.2 from 4.4.4 kitkat? Can I flash this JB 4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-17-57-6 (Retail) Dev Edition software?

Only if you are OK with the fact that you may brick and have to phone shop.
Can't safely downgrade any moto x that is currently on or above 4.4.2.
The end. ?

Flash a compatible SPRINT baseband:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
then erase modemst partitions
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst1
then reboot
fastboot reboot
Do you have service now? If now, you will most likely need to flash the ENTIRE stock Sprint SBF. Remember to NOT*** attempt to downgrade. Only flash the same, or higher version than what is installed on the device...
Also note that once you erase modemst partitions, you must repeat my entire sim-unlock procedure....

Thank you for your answer!
when I flash the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn , it said :'(bootloader) Variable not supported!' but then says"OKAY...finish..."
..It's this a problem?
and the first time I flash the 4.4.4 kikat , accidentally flash the baseband, then I reflash the baseband version between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 system.
Will I brick the phone? I can still see IMEI NO. I just try the the 4.4 baseband still not work.

"Variable not supported" is totally normal.
Why are you flashing a 4.4 baseband? Flash at least the 4.4.2 baseband and try again...
You aren't at risk of bricking unless you attempt to downgrade motoboot.img or gpt.bin (Don't do that...).

the reason why I try the 4.4 baseband , is others are not working.
I only flash the baseband part, did not try the motoboot.img and gpt.bin.
so whats the solution now?
I have zero experience with the motoboot.img or gpt.bin.
can I flash it with the fastboot?

You have obviously misunderstood me....
I said that you should NOT*** flash motoboot or gpt (as downgrading these will result in brick).
Why not just try using RSD Lite or full manual method to do a complete return to stock? Find the thread in "General" titled "Return to 100% stock".

Remember: Do NOT attempt to downgrade (can result in brick). Only flash the SAME or HIGHER version of what is currently on the phone. If you are on 4.4.2, only flash 4.4.2.
Good Luck!

Complete return to stock means the xt1056 stock rom? or I can use the xt1060 rom?
beacause I can't use the xt1056 stock rom in here.

it's weird that i usre RSD flash the xt1060 rom ,it could find the globle network ,but still says ' NO GSM UMTS networks were found'.
really dont know why?

Hi , I finally found what the problem is.
The sim card brokes!
Before I flash the rom ,it still works fine.
Really don't know why .
I try another sim on my phone works well.
so I solve my phone's problem.
thank you Sam.

[Q] Help with XT1053 in a half-downgraded state

Retail US TMobile MotoX 2013, XT1053, OTAed to 4.4.4, BL unlocked. Phone is still in fastboot [connected to my macbook] with gpt partition from stock and everything else from XT1052_RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF
I want to avoid bricking device and get it to work at least somehow (CM, stock, dev edition, anything). IIUC, I am looking for either TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.4 or GSM Dev Edition KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.29.1-2 (Retail) MR4 firmware files.
How did I get there? Through series of mistakes. In my naïveté I decided that moto was very friendly to people who bought their phone for full price and makes it very easy to flash my hw with whatever I want. So,
1) I read few posts and went cowboy and manual-flashed everything in RETAIL-DE_GHOST_KLA20.16-2.16.2_cid7_CFC_1FF (4.4.2) via cut-and-paste:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
This flashed everything but gpt and motoboot partitions. At this point I have gpt and motoload from 4.4.4 and everything else from 4.4.2
2) While trying to understand why 1) failed I realized that I did something rather dumb (downgrade motox one must not!). At this point I am just trying to restore moto x to anything that works, preferably stock.
3) I tried (just for kicks) flashing TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.3-KXA21.12-L1.21_MR4_CFC but this still is a downgrade and doesn't flash.
4) The only 4.4.4 rom I could find close enough to US TMO Retail moto x was XT1052_RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF. I tried flashing that and almost succeeded: everything flashed fine (even motoboot) except gpt.
5) I searched high-and-low for TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.4 firmware but no-one has it.
6) I also read that XT1053 can be flashed with dev-edition firmware, but when I go to motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images and request download - I am shown "you need permissions" message and "request access" button. When I click latter - nothing happens, no emails, no access, no nothing.
/rant Why did I want to flash to begin with? In general, I am quite fine with stock SU TMO moto experience. Except it only has 4 languages: English, Spanish, French and Portugese. I wanted to gift it to my sister who lives in Germany and does not speak any of those 4 languages. 4 is too low!

Here are the TMO 4.4.4 Files: http://www.drdevs.com/devs/samurihl/FXZ/TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.29.1_MR4_CFC.xml.zip

hi, does anyone know if this firmware works on brazilian XT1058 ?

can you give me new ink for download

Guys, is there any chance that you could re-activate the link? I need it as I bought the phone with the bootloader unlocked and with Philz recovery and to upgrade to lollipop I need to return these to stock.

The image you're looking for is here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

Im on lollipop, if i want to downgrade should the "TMO image" work?

Did I just brick my phone?

I've been stupid and tried to follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57479825#post57479825 but did the first line before noticing that there were several files missing:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
I can't follow the rest as I have most of the files missing, and now whatever I try to do it boots on Fastboot with the message:
version downgraded for boot
failed to validate boot image
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
Anyone know how to fix that?

You need to flash back to a full image.

Any idea where I can find it? I come from the Nexus line with all the images on Google's website, I have to admit that now with Moto I'm a bit lost, in addition to being not-that-clever.
It's probably worth noting that it's the uk version of the XT1092.

I found the RETEUALL_XT1092_4.4.4 but still can't do mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin with the 4.4.4 version as it won't let me downgrade the file, as the one that I flashed was the 5.0 one... (version downgraded for primary_gpt)
Is my only option for the official OTA for the XT1092 uk to be available to flash it manually?

No signal strength and imei gone

i updated my moto x 2014 (XT1095) to the current marshmallow and after a successful update , now i dont get any signal and when i check my imei too i get this (0) thus the number zero. please can some one help me out. any help is appreciated. i attached some images of it.

I have recently rooted, my device. Thanks to CF. But in the whole bunch of flash coding, just make sure you are not flashing your modems. Below are the commands I had avoided while flashing the rom.
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
Now, in case of yours, you can try to flash with modem of 5.0 or 5.1 but I would recommend to go-ahead with 4.4.4 since that was original.
Incase if you failed to find it, then try with 5.0 or 5.1
