Hello!
I'm currently stationed in Singapore and bought a Moto X about a month or so ago from eBay. While I am anxiously waiting for my Moto X to receive the 4.4 update, I realised that the system version (after the previous camera update) is 139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR, which I found to be a Latin America version after some searching on the forums and Googling here and there.
I also found this thread, where OP said that they can be flashed over to either the T-Mobile version. Does this continue to work for the 4.4 updates by T-Mobile or AT&T, and would there be anything else required for flashing? (I saw something about flashing new radios and all, but was quite confused by contradicting explanations and suggestions :/)
Thanks in advance!
// EDIT:
To add on after a bit of searching, I realised that I am allowed to unlock my bootloader, despite claims from the original retailer on eBay that the phone came from AT&T (which is notorious, even here, for their stance on bootloader unlocking). What gives?
I got the same Moto X from a buddy yesterday. I did a lot of searching and also discovered the thread about the phone being flashed to t- mobile.
I fooled the steps on another thread titled " Return to stock 100%" out something like that...
I downloaded the correct Att firmware and with the use of RSDLite, I successfully flashed my Moto X to ATT.... it took less than 10 minutes. And as soon as it booted up, I got hit with the "update available" message ( kit Kat)

Thanks for the information!
I've successfully upgraded my phone to the Verizon version (minus all the bloatware that I hastily blasted off), with root and TWRP. So this is what I did, for future reference:
It seems that AmericaMovil versions are not bound by the AT&T's locked bootloader policies, and other Latin America versions are probably free from the restriction too. So I managed to get my hands on the Motorola Fastboot and unlocked my bootloader. TWRP was installed (remember to use 2.6.3.1 and above for 4.4 support), and then flashed the Verizon system dump available here. Root was installed by TWRP.
After getting on the device and setting things up, I rebooted to recovery to remove lots of bloatware (available in /system/app and /system/priv-app). Had to remove some of them through Titanium Backup as the file names were not always indicative that it came from Verizon. I made the extra step of killing the god-awful boot animation that they had by replacing it with this.
And... that concludes my experience with this, I suppose.
I've been looking through a few threads and I am not comfortable enough to flash the T-Mobile rom over my AmericanMovil one yet.
I can't seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this.. Would anyone like to explain it from the ground up?
My understanding
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash a recovery like twrp or cmw
3) flash the rom that is given in the OG post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477180
4) this should now give us the t-mobile version of things and we should be able to do the standard OTA from there?
[Q] So can this all be done without ever having to root the phone?

I'm not too sure whether flashing via TWRP/CMW will allow you to get OTA, unfortunately. Which is why I went straight for the Verizon system dump. But yes, you can change firmware without ever having to root the phone. Heck, I think there's a guide on restoring mentioned by @plmiller0905 below that will allow you to do it without unlocking the bootloader, even.

I believe the bootloader does have to be unlocked in order to flash a different firmware.

Yeah after doing so more reading.. (at least the way I'm willing to do it) is to just unlock my bootloader and then using RSD Lite (Which i still have no idea what that is / where it is) flash an SBF found here (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php)
I guess following this video somewhat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr0JHSAXJDI#t=15
Does that sound right?
Should I flash the TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17-57_MR1_CFC.xml.zip
Or just jump straight to the 4.4 version TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_CFC.xml.zip
??
As far as I know, the use of RSD Lite doesn't require an unlocked bootloader (at least, that's what it shows in the video you showed me anyway), especially since these are images supposedly signed by Motorola themselves. Let me know if you've found something else?
As for your question on which to flash... I'm not sure, but you'd skip a lot of the hassle if you could flash 4.4 straight, so how about trying that?

Rsdlite is a shell for a flash boot flash supposedly with an XML doing all the steps together. Just makes it easier.
You need unlocked boot loader only to flash an image that doesn't match your current boot loader. So if you have a. At&t phone you can only flash at&t images by rsdlite. But if you unlock your amerimovil phone you can flash any xt1058 image I think. So amerimovil could take say a rogers or at&t or telcel image. Not sure if T-Mobile image will work on a full rsdlite flash as it is an xt1053 image. I think you can flash most of a T-Mobile image by twrp but not by rsdlite not sure

So if I flash the at&t image found here (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php), would it come pre-loaded with all the bloatware AT&T has even though I'm not using AT&T network?

yes of course. think about it like if you took a dell windows 7 install CD , and put it on an HP. all the dell customizations would still be there.
obviously since you have unlocked bootloader, once you do the RSDlite you can always flash twrp, and superuser, and delete all that stuff. but then you wouldn't get updates again. i dont think the at&t image is really THAT bad. though i've heard the rogers one is better (though maybe not 4.4 yet)

Yeah unfortunately that's what I thought. Hence why I would of liked to flash the t-mobile image but I'm going to hold off until someone that is a bit more adb savvy then myself tries it out. I wouldn't know what to do if I ended up soft bricking my phone
Well it didn't take long to try it out myself...
It worked out!
I used this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
I downloaded the Tmobile 4.4 Image and used RSD.
All you have to do is unlock your BL. (Note: I was completely bone stock with NO root and NO special recovery like CMW or TWRP)
Have all the proper drivers installed, enable USB debugging in developer settings on the phone
Go into Fastboot on the phone
Plug in the phone and just follow the video
I do not take any responsibitliy if you brick your phone. It is fairly easy process and took only a few mins.
Hope this helps!

I've been doing some research on this since yesterday and I've been hesitant on doing it. I saw in your last post that you successfully flashed the TMO 4.4 ROM on your AmericaMovil phone, so I have a few questions for you before I go ahead and do the same:
1. Can you please confirm that your model is XT1058 and not XT1053?
2. Does the TMO ROM have the TMO boot logo and any TMO bloatware?
3. Does the TMO ROM have the Tethering & portable hotspot option under Settings > More?
4. Does the TMO ROM have the Mass Storage option under Settings > Storage > | > USB computer connection?
5. Have you been having any radio problems since you flashed the TMO ROM?
I wonder if I install the ROM in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477180 using RSDLite, would I get the OTA update to 4.4? The reason I want to install this ROM is because it only flashes system and boot.img without flashing bootloader, modem, logo etc... and I know the XT1058 radio is different from the XT1053 radio, so I've been reluctant to flash a full XT1053 ROM on my XT1058 phone.
But what I also would like to know is if an OTA update would flash a full ROM or not. In other words, if I flash the ROM above and then OTA update to 4.4 and the OTA update flashes the full ROM including the radio, I might as well flash the full 4.4 immediately.
What do you or anyone else think?
I'll answer to the best of my ability. heh

Mine was an XT1058, and has been flashed to XT1060. (I didn't notice that T-Mo had a 4.4 ROM on the list, so I went straight for the flashable ZIP for Verizon instead. silly me.)

At least according to this article, the TMO version shouldn't have any bloatware.

There's no reason why there shouldn't be; I'm seeing it on my Verizon version.

I can't say for sure if you'll face any problems, but I flashed the T-Mo radio provided here with my Verizon ROM, and I had no problems connecting to my network in Singapore.

I can't answer the rest unfortunately. Sorry. Hope I've helped.

Thank you for your answers!
Regarding Mass Storage, the reason I'm asking is because I don't have it on my AmericaMovil ROM.
The ROM is basically exactly what you get when you buy the T-Mobile version.
I figured the radios are nearly identical from the AT&T version and the T-Mobile version so my XT1058 is running on the XT1053 radios. There is no bloatware. tethering is there but I'm not sure if t-mobile will allow it. There is NO tmobile logo that comes up on boot. USB connect to computer is there.
As for the radio section again.. I was getting only EDGE in my house before I switched to this ROM (Meaning when I was on the ORIGINAL XT1058 image) and I am still getting only EDGE in my house.. Unfortunately I haven't left my house since yesterday flashing the image but when I'll be back at work in NYC and should see '4G/LTE' over there.
We'll see.

I've always been on T-mobile network. Both when i was on original XT1058 AmericanMovil system version and still on T-mobile when I switched the image to XT1053.
Back on my Nexus 4 though.. I would have HSPA+ in my house.. So I thought it was a bit odd that as soon as I received this phone that I wasn't getting anything other than EDGE..
So, I tried to upgrade my phone that was rooted and was stuck in a CWM bootloop, I was able to get out of the bootloop by installing the DFUSE rom that us for the d959, the problem is now I have my phone booted up but I need to return back to stock AT&T d950 preferably kitkat, but I cant figure out to do so, thanks for your help to get to where I am so far, just need a push one step further.

NEVER update anything if you are rooted especially not when you have a custom recovery. At least not until you thoroughly read through the forum. I find it insane that people will just start flashing things when you could possibly have a $700 paper weight. The att model and the tmous model have different modems.

You can't just go back to kitkat since there's no one put out a return to stock kitkat procedure. Your best option is to use the return to jelly bean stock flashtool procedure for at&t and just take the kitkat update again that's the only way.

Post questions in that thread it would be beneficial for you as I don't know a lot about basebands
So I have an HTC One m7 I used on AT&T, my girlfriend decided she'd like to use it on T-Mobile. So i paid for a service online to unlock it and it was ready to go. booted fine. Yet I rebooted and restored it. It had at the time a custom rom. Yet I accidentally deleted all the roms. So when I try to reboot it sticks in the bootloader. And when I go to restore it says "are you sure you want to restore with no OS installed". No matter what I do it sicks at bootloader. I't's been awhile since i've loaded roms through Odin or however it works now so I'd appreciate help before my women gets pissed. thanks!

I want to share my experience with you guys.
So I've updated my LG G4 to ZVC firmeware, and read that is not possible to root it, and no unlock chances therefore. And since is really difficult to make downgrade once you've reached this version, I was totally freaked out that I wouldn't be able to unlock it.
And thanks to some brave community fellows that tried this method, I felt encouraged to do it.
In order to unlock your network, you have use a Global rom for ZVB firmeware, YES, it also works for ZVC. Said that, I have to tell you that this it's a risky method, and if you don't properly follow steps, you'll hard brick your phone, so do it at your own risk.
Here is the link:

Please, make sure to thank the OP and developers. Buy 'em a beer or something
Going from ZVC firmware, did you have to deviate at all from the instructions at that link you provided? Or did you get success following it exactly as written? I think you convinced me to take the plunge.
(Well, also to be fully honest, now that the V20 is available, I'm more willing to take risks with my beloved LG G4 in the secret hope I might break it and justify the expensive upgrade as being forced into it)

Hi, just go to the link and follow the instructions there, you'll be alright.
I made this threat since everyone was confused about this firmeware version, and I wanted to share with you that YOU CAN UNLOCK the network once you are in ZVC as I DID. So no worries, you'll be able to unlock the sim from your LG G4 ZVC, using the ZVB procedure.

In this particular case, just Install the ZVB Global rom (Even if you have ZVC like me). No downgrade needed. Once you've installed the ZVB Global rom (FOLLOWING THE ALL THE STEPS of the original post) you'll have your phone UNLOCKED and running ZVB.
In other words, it is not a downgrade process (Although you'll be downgrading your phone from ZVC to ZVB) NO ADDITIONAL STEPS for it, do like your device was on ZVB and please, don't skip any step and you'll be fine.
It worked for me, it will work for you. Good luck

a paid company or sprint is the only methods available unless root is found for zvb and greater

ive never dont the method but can descibe it to a T
on marshmallow sprint closed the send command port on g4 so a very dangerous technique in opening it as follows kinda. you open lgup and flash some tot dont know which one but as soon as it hits 9% this is when the send command port gets opened You have to unplug the usb cable exactly rite time and the send port stays open then u can dd in the system image.
now it is dangerous can hard brick device but im digging up the links now
Hi,
Is it possible to flash US Cellular V405UA kdz to Sprint V405UA?
I tried but I am getting error "Error: not support diagEnable for laf mode".
I managed to flash it using LGUP and using Refurbished option, but now I got the network locked. Is it possible to unlock it back?

Wait, LGUP works now?? How did you do it??
Why not just flash it to the us unlocked version? Maybe try that firmware to see if it'll still be locked.
yes please let me know

share your LGUP config man
I used the dev modified LGUP and dll, and used the refurbish option. The phone got flashed however it is locked now, when I put the sim it says Network Locked.
PD. If u need the modified lgup and dll let me know.

You can upload LG up file and your dll has successfully flashed your v40

Yes upload the ones you are using please and that way we can probably flash the US Unlocked Firmware and probably get Pie before Sprint officially does ._.

I used the LGUP and dll from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76510671&postcount=168.
Guys, I am no expert, so please be careful. I am not responsible for any bricked phones.

The patched version with that dll throws an error though (same one basically as the LG UP 1.15 cmd version does)
It tells you to use the latest .dll, because the LAF version on the device doesnt match the one from the .dll. And when trying any other .dll (G7, V40 Oreo (V405EBW 10f), or V40 Pie (V409N20c KT)) the .dll isnt recognized as matching (LG UP Cmd says it cant read the dll format, and that you have to install a proper one)
So how exactly did you do this?
I did it using the Refurbish option, the Upgrade option failed, but the Refurbish completed the flash.
so u didnt do anything to the dll in particular? You just downloaded it and it worked?
all i'm getting is fails .-.
