Unlocked ATT Moto X in Europe, OTA question

My X is with ATT, just unlocked it. Now I am about to move Europe working in both Germany and Spain. Can anyone tell me if/how I can receive OTA updates? If I use any local carrier and receive ATT OTA update, will I brick my phone? Thanks!

You will receive the AT&T update no matter the carrier you use the phone with, it is safe and no problem.

Any recent progress x/ xt1097 AT&T?

I just acquired this phone, and imagine my surprise at finding that if you have the AT&T version with the August 2016 security update, you're basically screwed. Just wondering if there's been any recent success with this. I've been doing a lot of reading, but it seems there's been nothing new posted about it for a while. Curious as to whether anyone's been working on this issue or if it's a lost cause. I've tried the Kingroot methods and whatnot, nothing seems to work, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks.
Are you from the UK?

I am not.
France?
The reason i am asking is i see a lot of new XT1097's on eBay in the UK. I think these can upgrade to MM but i think the bootloader is locked. I really want a Moto X 2nd gen but if i cannot unlock the bootloader without paying $25 then I'm out.
No. I'm in the US. The issue is that AT&T branded 1097's are unable to have the bootloader unlocked without being rooted, and there is currently no working root method if you have accepted the most recent security updates.
Does anyone know if the EU and South American XT1097's than have been updated to MM have an unlocked bootloader?

The AT&T XT1097 is the only remaining edition which does not qualify for bootloader unlocking, and it has no MM update.
So if these XT1097's have been updated to MM, then they can't be the AT&T edition, and they must be unlockable through the official Motorola procedure.

who recives OTA first t mobile or unlocked?

getting ready to buy a deep sea blue note 8 from best buy unlocked version. Just wondering how quickly they get the OTA updates. Do carriers push them out first before the unlocked models? also if I buy the unlocked and flash the carrier firmware via "carrier flash thread" will my device receive the OTA updates from the carrier or do they need to be side loaded?
I purchased the unlocked model and it's still on the August security patches and have not received a single update since I bought it in early September.
Pretty sure the carrier versions are also on the August security patch.

[Question] How to debrand AT&T to unlocked firmware

Hey Guys,
I tried searching unsuccessfully for some answers on flashing stock unlocked firmware. I want to debloat and receive updates straight from Samsung and not AT&T. Do you guys now of any guides floating around? Or which firmware to flash (SM-N950u1) <-- Unlocked firmware?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I used this guide to flash my AT&T Note8 to Stock Unlocked Firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884
Pretty straight forward and afterwards no AT&T bloat. I even get better battery life.

What security patch are you on? Do you get OTA updates or do you have to manually update? Do you get LTE and LTE-A signals?

I'm on the August security patch only because I'm still debating on if I want to root or not as the newest security patch kills the possibility of root. As for OTA updates, there was one released a month or so back and I was able to update to it with no problems. As for LTE and LTE-A which I assume is LTE+? I get both with the same if not better speeds and signal strength.

Do you know if the unlocked software is updated to the newest patch yet? I'm trying to figure out which version gets the updates first.

Unlocked S10 Plus. Will I be able to root and custom rom it

I have the international S8+ G955F which I have Renovate rom on it. Will the S10+ have a locked bootloader and no ability to root and rom it?
Mine was not a US version and if I pre-order it will be a US version
USA Snapdragons are locked down and cannot be unlocked to date. International Exynos which you had before Have unlockable Bootloaders.
