Hi Guys
Quite a newbie here.
Wanted to know if I can switch from my current being XT1052_O2-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26 to XT1052_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26 ?
Reason being is I'm thinking the retail will receive the very soon over the air update to lollipop faster and I'm not in Germany at all. In South Africa and over to England a lot.
Everything works so theres no issue. The O2-DE is my current rom loaded with the stock bootloader unlocked and TWRP 2.8.3.0 recovery.
I was planning to unzip the O2-DE and mfastboot flash the stock recovery back to receive OTAs again, but the I saw the RETAIL-GB and wondered if I can, while my stock rom is newly flashed, switch.
Saw the two roms on file factory (can't post URLs)
P.S. I THINK my current rom is the O2-DE one because Elixir tells me "Id: KXA21.12-L1.26" and "Product: ghost_o2de" and obviously "Version: 4.4.4"
Thanks and appreciation in advance.
Just checked and Elixir also says "Version incremental: 18"
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.

Hello, i've been looking everywhere and i can't get an answer, i have this moto g 2014 (XT1063, single sim) on lolipop 5.0.2, the thing is than i want to downgrade it to kitkat 4.4.4 since i've lost aprox. 2hrs of battery life, but i can't find an exact copy of the same rom i have now(lolipop) on 4.4.4, this one works with any provider except Nextel, so i can put in it a Telcel/Movistar/Iusacell sim on it and work with no problems, it didn't include any provider apps
System Version is: 22.41.16.titan_retla.retla.en.01 amxmx
Compilation number is: LBX22.99-16
Can someone tell me if such rom exists, and if not, which one should i use to downgrade it and not lose the ability to use any sim?
Phone is already Rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
First the the ROM never lock/unlock the phone bands.
If your phone is factory unlocked and don't work with some carrier it could mean that band isn't supported
I think any titan retla.retla will work but downgrading is always risk checkout for a downgrade guide
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?
Decided to do this write up to hopefully create a one stop shop for all. Thank you MODs for sticky!
DISCLAIMER - Modify your device is at your own risk. Check any command set you use to flash a rom to assure it does NOT have a command to relock the bootloader. DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to re-lock your bootloader!
Enjoy!

Discussion thread here started by @Jithin91.
3. Is there a difference between the models?
They have the exact same hardware other then certain non-US variants offer dual-sim, 4gb memory, and 64gb storage options. Their firmwares are different slightly. XT1900-01: Retail has more Motorola apps and features like the One-Button Nav exclusively. Android One is more of a pure Android experience and will have the least bloatware but has some Motorola features. Amazon has Alexa and some Motorola features.
4. Can the bootloader be unlocked and how?
The only way to know if your variant can be unlock is via Motorola's website, via their instructions. There is no alternative method. This is the definitive way to find out if yours can be unlock. Typically, users are reporting that the Amazon model cannot be unlocked.
Lenovo themselves has not released factory signed stock images. Once you unlock the bootloader, THERE IS NO RETURN. Orange bootloader msg will appear at boot, even when you perform #9. SafetyNet will pass if not rooting.
5. Can it be rooted, and how? Custom recovery (TWRP)?
Bootloader must be unlocked first.
[GUIDE][Video] How to Root Moto X4 & Install TWRP Recovery by @munchy_cool
SafetyNet passes with latest Magisk
Don't forget to grab latest files from XDA Magisk Thread and TWRP. Have to install apk after flashing.
6. How do I remove the orange unlock bootloader warning at boot?
[GUIDE][Video/Text] How to Remove Unlocked Bootloader Warning on Moto X4 by @munchy_cool
Also, if you flash stock firmware, the msg is there only on Oreo 8.1 and Pie. The msg isn't there if you flash Nougat or Oreo 8.0.
7. Are there any customs ROMs/Kernels yet?
First off, BIG thanks to @erfanoabdi! He didn't even own the device but did the work to make it possible.

8. Is Lineage going to be OFFICIAL?
It is in the works but no timeline so don't ask. One prerequisite for it, is the dev must own the device. That process was started, refer to this thread.
9. How do I go back to stock?

Beware that Motorola have not officially released signed stock images, can double check here. The urls below are by users.

Full Firmware 2018 November Android One Oreo 8.1 here by @Comby_sk
Full Firmware 2018 November Android One Pie 9.0 posted here by @Comby_sk
Work in progress... Will edit/update as needed and conveniently able.
11. Can I flash a different stock firmware on my device? ie flash Android One on Retail or another variant
Yes. Non-US variant users have reported successful flashes of US firmwares in this thread. Ensure you have a TWRP backup before performing just in case.
12. I am rooted and now Official OTAs don't install
This is a known issue with no fix. Your only option is to wait for copy of latest firmware to be available and manually flash it without the erase userdata to keep your data (customized script here). Another option is if you are receiving the OTA notification, manually re-flash current firmware build without the erase userdata to keep your data and proceed to accept the OTA (You will have to re-install TWRP/re-root.)
13. What the hect is this A/B partition stuff people keep mentioning?
Great XDA article will best explain it all.
When you boot into TWRP, where it shows that active slot, remember when you do a flash you flash to the other slot. Example: If you're on A, you will flash to slot B and vice versa. Yes you can have stock firmware on one and a custom ROM on another but they share the same data partition. So its not dual boot in the way you're thinking.
14. Best camera to use?
Refer to this XDA Thread by @uccollab and this reddit thread.
15. I'm not on Retail version, how can I enable One Button Nav?
For Oreo - TBD
For Pie - Post by @jhedfors - Need root

I have an XT1900-7 with 3GB RAM / 32GB Storage / Dual Sim, it was sent direct from Motorola/Lenovo as a replacement, anyone know what variant this would be? It came with a two-pin Turbo Power adapter but I am in the UK, they then sent me a UK charger.
Don't have 8.1 yet but have the notification for the OPWS27.2.3, 1 June 2018 OTA update although I can't install it due to an error. I have Magisk installed with unlocked Bootloader etc. Don't have a backed up bootloader from stock unfortunately as it was wiped when I did the whole bootloader/magisk thing.
Would it be safe to flash the 8.1 update from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322270003
Cheers for the info.

Go to settings, system, regulatory information, what variant does it say?
Is that an OTA or full firmware? Should be safe. For an OTA, it will fail if it can't install.

Think it's Europe? Attached screenshot.
No idea what it is, I just got the latest link you posted from that site. It's a generic retail 8.1 update it seems.

report the thread, non urgent and ask for it to be stickied.
Thanks for this thread. I got Moto X4 today, coming from the Nexus 5X....
I have some concerns about OEM unlocking, bootloader as well, damn a/b partitions, variants...
It was way simpler and seemed safer with nexus devices I have.
Is there some kind of emergency recover software for if whatever goes wrong to manage fixing softbricks and returning to safe stock in such cases, like wugsfresh NRT?

There is no 3rd party software available at this time. It is definitely more then just flashing a single Google factory image image via recovery. We're spoiled.
Fixed broken link in #5.
Updated with more current information and links.
Updated Question 12: Install OTA with root workaround.
Updated various verbage.
Still need to add/update links.
Can you please explain what are firmware files as given in second post in official lineage os 15? And what to do with these firmware files?

There's only one main download link for Lineage firmware on that second post. What are you trying to find out exactly?
There are some firmware files below the "copy partition.zip" file on that second post. I mean what are those files? There is no description about those files on that thread. I asked on that thread. And I got replied as refer to your this thread of Moto X4 F.A.Q.s. Kindly tell me.
