[Q] Converting xt1097 to pure edition

I have a Telus XT1097. I know that without having a root method atm it is still just speculation but are we aware of any hardware differences or other issues that would make a convert to pure edition (xt1095) impossible?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried unlocking your bootloader? It seems to me the Telus version is pretty much a Pure Edition, except for the model number... BTW does it have any TELUS bloatware at all?
FYI I believe the 1095 has different frequency bands.

I have not because as far as i understood the method was exclusively for the xt1095 but I'll give it a shot.
As far as bloatware, the only thing Telus installed on this phone is their "My Account" app. It's an app that you can download from the play store.
It's interesting to see the marketing used on Telus' website to describe the Moto X. The catchphrases are: "Pure Style, Pure performance" and then "Pure Android with the quickest updates". It leads me to believe that Telus will pretty much push out updates as they recieve them from Moto.
I'll be less inclined to root and flash if I see that I get timely updates, after using galaxy phones and flashing for the past 5 years i just want something that works great or of the box.

Jeremie

I have a brazilian version, also model XT1097 from carrier Vivo and I was able to unlock the bootloader and root it normally. Would like to know the difference between the XT1095 and XT1097 though.

I have XT1093 (US Cellular). The Pure Edition root method works for all variants with unlockable bootloaders. The key is to follow the directions completely. As it only BOOTS the system image rather than INSTALLS the image, it works fine. Boots the image once, installs SU to your system, then reboots to your system.

hey, I was thinking of getting a Moto X, and was wondering, is the one sold at Telus 16 or 32 GB?

Only the 16GB

I thought I was getting a Pure Edition when I bought the unlocked version from Motorola's mexican website, but I got the xt1097... if this is possible that would be great as I believe the pure edition will get updates faster

Could anybody supply the modem for the Telus xt1097? I converted my phone and forgot to backup the modem.

Sure thing,
I used the multitool to flash that Pure Edition Moto X 2014 (XT1095) ROM (full wipe)
Then flashed ATT Modem (downloaded from graffixnyc website)
Then sidloaded OTA update
Then restored my EFS from my TWRP backup.
Everything booted up fine, except I don't have a cell signal. It asks me for a SIM network unlock PIN. I'm stuck here.... I want to try and flash the telus modem. Not sure why it's asking for a SIM unlock PIN.

I mean how can I back up the modem file for you

Give it a try now!

It was asking you for unlocking cuz Att modem is sim locked.
So did you manage to successfully convert to 1095? I'd like to try, but I'm a bit worried about the modem issues, I'd need a sim unlocked modem i can use with Brazilian operators.
I'm a noob in moto x developing, so I'm already reading what multitool is and how-to's.

Any luck getting your phone working? You have an XT1097 right?

Hey guys,
Telus XT1097 user here.
Trying to flash back to stock so I can get some lollipop action.
Which factory image should I be installing here ? I don't think our phones are dev editions / pure editions...
Thanks !

Here is everything you need guys.

It's in Dutch but gives you step by step instructions how to backup your modem and restore it using dd commands. A google translate should suffice.

I have a 1097, but i haven't done anything yet, i don't wanna mess up my brand new phone LOL
i'm reading about the changes to 1095 and mostly the modem issue.

I wonder if that only works on some XT1097 phones, I got a "Permission Denied" error when I tried it on mine.

[Q] Why Moto X (2013) 16GB can't be bootloader unlocked?

I have search in XDA with no results. I have a Moto X (2012) XT1060 standar version 16GB [Carrier VZW]. I request for a bootloader unlock in motorola's webpage but this model is not listed. I tried using WinDroid and the page said that this device can't be unlocked.
Remember this is not a Developer Edition, it's a 16GB version unlocked band to any carrier, it was from VZW.
And is not only me, many users have the same problem, they can't unlock their devices.
Why? and is there a solution... How?
Thank you for you attention.

You can thank big "v" for that. They, along with att I believe, restrict Motorola from giving out the bootloader unlock codes. Mind you that's different from a phone being "carrier unlocked." With the China middleman mia, your only current option is to try and use sunshine 2.0. If that doesn't work then you will have to wait for sunshine 3.0 which is said to be released "soon" but don't ask what exactly that means. In the meantime, don't update to official lollipop should it be released before sunshine.

Don't forget Republic wireless... (The big 3 that can't unlock are Verizon, ATT and Republic Wireless)

And its not obvious, but its discussed in -> [One Stop Shop] How to root the Moto X - Let's end the confusion.

Hi, I have tried using Sunshine 3.0.3 and it Force Closes during 2nd compaibiltiy test. "unfortunately , SunShine had stopped"
XT1060 4.4.3 VZW - Rooted
Anyone have any ideas? Is their a link available for the 2.0 version somewhere, I don't see on their site.

4.4.3 on a Verizon XT1060? I think that is a typo.
THe Verizon XT1060 never had 4.4.3, only 4.4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4, and then the couple of 4.2.2 versions.
If you have 4.4.4 Sunshine likely wont work.
If you have 4.4.2 and have never upgraded to 4.4.4, then Sunshine should do the trick.

goto their page and live support, the dev fixed it for me and gave me a special version, he said it would be patched into 3.04 or 3.0.5 yesterday anyways, so you may want to goto the site and see if it's updated.

better to buy a dev edition...

Not better than a $100 mint condition non-dev edition, which now has an unlocked bootloader thanks to the wonderful support from therootninja (as gchase23 suggested, they hooked me up with an older version that works with the Moto X with 4.2.2).

[Q] Need help with this riddle. Any advise would be appreciated.

Is the Moto XT1097 with the android version 5.1 able to he downgraded. Thanks for any kind of answers at all. Been looking at different sites and all kind of tutorials. Still haven't found any answer to my questions. Thanks in advanced.

Here is my riddle?
I got a moto XT1097 bought from at&T in America with the 5.1 android version. How do I root it? Is it worth to even downgrade to try and root it that way . I know for a fact the boot loader cannot be unlocked. OEM Is one that can not be unlocked. Thanks for any advice, help, anthing at all. Been wracking and researching away to root it and all of my roads lead to a headache.

The AT&T xt1097 cannot be unlocked. You can root with MOFO if an updated 5.1 image has been made for your device. Since your device cannot be unlocked, you cannot downgrade.

Thanks. I do not have the 5.1 image for my device at all. When I bought the phone it was updated on the spot. I know for sure right now these versions are not rootable. Guess I am going to have to wait or root. Thanks for the help.

Use the techniques in this post -- but of course you want Droid Turbo 4.4.4 firmware, which you can download from many, many locations.
How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077
or this. Same guy, @Jaocagomez:
[Tutorial] How to Flash Different Official Firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/tutorial-how-to-flash-official-firmware-t3074724
FIRST, you need an unlocked bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then you need to buy/use Sunshine.
These instructions work for all Moto phones with unlocked bootloaders. (He says it's not for the Droid Turbo 2, because their bootloader was never unlocked. In the 2nd thread he says it's not for the Droid Turbo, but he wrote that before the Droid Turbo was unlocked.)
@Jaocagomez previously owned a Quark then moved on to Kinzie. He helped me get my second XT1225. He wrote a lot of the early dev stuff for our phones, but that was back then the Droid Turbo was still locked down. Doesn't matter, these instructions work for all Quark, Kinzie with unlocked bootloaders.
Do NOT flash GPT.BIN. Leave that off. He even mentions that in the Q&A. You can downgrade to earlier OS version, but you cannot downgrade bootloaders. You try to flash GPT.bin and you will either brick your phone or be in never ending bootloop.
