i found a thread the other night and i'd like someone with more knowledge on the subject.
hopefully this can get us closer to unbricking our moto x 2014 on our own...instead of relying on motorola.
it has a few downloads as to the necessary files however i only get to an error 'flash failed'

thats the actual thread maybe someone can look in to it.

No it does not help at all. That page has the files for the 2013 moto x, which do not help nor work with our phone. That site has bad info, sorry.

ahh damn lol
For what it's worth...the blankfalsh.bat file does recognize the moto x 2014 and does try to flash...so maybe if we had the correct boot to flash it might work??

That's the problem. We don't have the files. Only motorola has them. Motorola does NOT release them. The only way we will get the files is if they leak. So until that happens there is no way to fix a hard brick.

I would be interested in this. I don't know how to port so even if you did post a link I wouldn't know what to do with it

It can be dangerous flashing firmware meant for another phone even if the specs are similar or even identical. Each firmware is made specifically for each phone. There are a number of things that can go wrong by flashing firmware that was not made for your phone causing you to hard brick it. You need to consider partition sizes, the bootloader, and the boot image just to name a few. Replacing the boot image with one from the AHD won't guarantee the phone will boot and if it does end up booting the phone will most likely not work properly.

If you don't know what you're doing and have not tested it yourself; please don't post anything that will cause others to brick their phones.

Sorry, misunderstood what you were posting. Thought you were going to post flashable firmware based off the Moto X. If you were I would urge you not to. Would just cause a lot of issues with people trying to flash it.

No no I'm not that stupid lol I'm gonna deodex this then post a link for others and I plan to build a moto x ROM but base it off Mexican retail and try to implement as many moto x features as possible
really ? you care about my signature
Don't think there's much good in this.
The main moto x features revolve around the architecture of the x8 (such as the google now feature) and the amoled display (such as the active notifications)
It has a customized snapdragon processor but the problem is that the Moto X has two additional cores for handling all of the "always running" sensors, such as the mic and gyroscope. If we did port it, our battery life would be KILLED due to these long running sensors and the lack of a low power third and fourth core.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a download of Moto X Developer GSM Edition for 4.4.2. I've seen a few downloads that are the .XML or a zip, but it didn't contain what I needed, which is specifically the System Folder with App, Framework and Priv-App, etc.
The purpose is I'm having someone assist me in removing the blue from 4.4.2 in menus, toasts, etc.
Thanks for your help guys.
Or, is there a way to draw those assets from the 4.4.2 I have on my phone already?
I don't think it's out yet, not the full file. I think what you see around is just the OTA itself. I checked in the sbf site and didn't see it.

QUESTION ANSWERED
I'm unable to install apps from the play store. Tapping install just freezes the play store. I can barely even browse the play store or do anything. Factory reset isn't helping and so far all I've done is unlock bootloader and fastboot boot pure2014sb.zip
What can I do?
Thanks
PS: Does anyone know which firmware on this page is for the US Pure Edition phone? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
Try deleting your Google account and clearing the play services cache and data. Then log back in.
Thanks but I already tried that plus factory resetting. I think the pure2014 screwed it up. I need to find out which stock image is the correct one for the pure edition

Well the other GSM images are older versions of android 4.4,4.2.... The ones at the bottom are for Verizon.

Ok. How can I tell the difference between the GSM 2014 model and the GSM Dev Edition from 2013?
I just want to make sure 1000% that I don't flash the wrong firmware on a brand new device.
Thanks

As far as I can tell they're the same. I couldn't find separate sites for them. On my build I have KXE21 and this one has KXA21. I dont think there is any difference, but im not 100%. There's a rooted image on the android Dev section with the E21.

So it looks like those file names are different once Motorola finally shares them with you. They are all for ghost, which if memory serves me correctly is the 2013 model.

Could be. Odd that Motorola would give you the wrong images. This zip has all the moto x 2014 images.

Do not flash the images listed on their site yet. The Moto X 2014 images haven't been uploaded on their website yet, Motorola has posted on their forums that their working on it though.

Thanks for the warning. Owning a first gen model, I thought those firmware names looked a little familiar. Motorola's support is extremely lacking this year save for one nice person who talks to /r/MotoX on reddit. I wonder what happened to their support. So far 3 out of 3 support agents (1 chat, 2 phone call) have mistaken my questions about unlocked bootloaders for GSM locks, and had no idea what a bootloader is, until I explained it to them in severely layman's terms. For now I'm back on my first gen since I sadly need Verizon, and I also "need" the unlocked bootloader.
On the plus side before getting the RMA I did fix the issue. It was a bad root attempt. I skipped the pure2014 method and just used TWRP + flashing SuperSU as if it was a first gen. (second gen TWRP of course)
Thanks for all the help though.
Help please where can i found the firmwares to unbrick a moto x xt1097 from At&t , or if it possible to unbrick it with other retail firmware from a other carrier for the xt1097 ?

Damn thanks! CaiKroll!
link doesn't work. my at&t moto x 2014 doesn't have ota updates more than 5.1
New root method found for 2014 moto x for at. Maybe it can be modified to work with droid turbo and get us wp off?!
Same method as mofo --- no wp-off
No bueno
At least its free tho
Someone could make a free version of mofo if they wanted. Personally, I wouldn't, purely out of respect.
Someone care to post the link for root on the x2 2014?
All I find is the lollipop root achieved but that is for an unlocked boot only.

I accidentally missed the fact that it was for the 2013 model(s), not the 2014, but here you go anyways.
EDIT: Could've sworn I added a link. Was super tired.
