well the 1058 is the AT&T model so i would think you would beable to flash it but the big question is. is the device unlocked for use with claro or is it running different firmware.
have you tried putting in a sim card from a different carrier and see if it accepts it. if it does then it is just unlocked and i will walk you threw how to get to 4.4 and root access if you want it
its not unlocked i put in an att sim card and it ask me for the network unlock
does my boot loader has to be unlock even if i wanna put an official rom like say atts rom
thanks
If I am reading everything correctly, the att version is xt1097 and has a locked bootloader. There is no way to unlock the bootloader and there is no root method for a moto x bought from att. Am I correct in this assumption? :crying:

Yes you are correct. The original Moto X (carrier locked) bootloaders can be unlocked using "Sunshine", there is a potential it will become available for the 2014 version in the future, but I don't think it will be anytime soon.
Secondly, there is no reason to get the AT&T version because rumor is Motorola is going to enable all the AT&T supported LTE bands in the Pure version: http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-x-pure-edition-xt1095-may-soon-get-more-lte-bands
Is there a way to force the update for android lollipop to the AT&T variant. I bought a AT&T Moto X used and got it carrier unlock. Is there any way to get AT&T to just let Motorola to update my phone it is basically not their locked phone any more. Is there a pure edition stock image that can work perfectly fine to flash on to my device and yes i seen the person who was able to flash the pure edition stock image but had to flash some extra stuff but is there another easier thing that works. AT&T should let people who unlock their phone decide if they get update or not. Thank guys.
No. You need to wait until it's pushed to your phone. The AT&T variant does not have an unlockable bootloader, ergo you are at their mercy for updates. You should have bought the Pure edition.
Hi guys,
I have a MotoX 2013 XT1060 Verizon Developer Edition. I'm planning to flash a XT1053 4.4.4 Retail T-mobile image with RSD Lite.
Is this going to work? Is this a dumb thing to do?
Thanks
Well, if you flash the T-Mobile radios, you'll likely lose CDMA support and LTE band 12 support.
Not to mention the differences in teh build.prop that also might cause issues since they wont have the parts needed for Verizon's CDMA support.

You sure ? I think if you flash full fw from different variant, You'll bricked. I ve never tried this before

Yes, there is a chance you will brick when flashing the full SBF from another variant. We have seen other variants, like XT1052, be successful.
If I recall correctly, back in the day, there were some who did flash XT1060's will all but the modem files from an XT1053 (due to leaked update files, EARLY on in the X's life cycle) but I can't remember the details. I just know it didn't brick.
Either way, I think saying as I did, that flashing a Verizon phone with a firmware for another variant resulting in the inability to use it on Verizon's network, would be reason enough not to do it.
Then again, What I didn't think about was someone who wanted to use that XT1060 on a GSM carrier's network, and wanted to flash the XT1053 rom because its "bloat free".... So yeah, a warning in there that it could brick would be warranted...
Also, I have some statements in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202 like 9, 10 and 12... advising against "cross flashing" like this.
Solved it
Nevermind guys,
I flashed a XT1053 TMO Retail image with RSD Lite. My XT1060 is now XT1053, I got rid of all bloatware and all carrier logos. Everything is just perfect.
Also, I wanted to do this because I live in Europe and Verizon is nothing here. I also wanted to do this because I get updates sonner.
I have the opposite question...
I have a rooted XT1053 on Lycamobile/T-Mobile. I'd like to switch to Verizon for my service.
Do I read this correctly that I could flash an XT1060 ROM over my XT1053 and have an XT1060. Is the hardware the same?
Thanks,
Mark

Sorry I will not, because there are risks of bricking when cross flashing like that. And I don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong.
ok so cleaning my house the other day i came across a old phone of mine the Moto X XT1093 Variant (US Cellular) so as i suspected i had unlocked the BL in the past and installed TWRP and i had the stock 5.1 rom and it was rooted, i guess at some point i also installed Xposed Framework...anyways...according to the US Cellular website, this phone is already sim unlocked...so i was thinking , ok cool i can pop a sim from some random prepaid CDMA carrier and it should work...well i flashed dirty unicorns 6.0 xt1095 rom on it and its stable, the US Cellular sim is still in there and its getting a data signal, obviosuly account is off, but then i started reading and i got worried...is it even possible to flash another rom on this phone and it work? like i mean this is a CDMA phone, but i read that all XT1095 is GSM, so is there some rom i can flash that will support some sorta CDMA prepaid? any help or advice here would be appreciated....

I use it with the At&t prepaid sim. I'll look and see if I have some of the files I used to lock on the cdma networks...
