[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
Its a shame the software allows you to flash at all if the bootloader is locked and you try to use the firmware from a different provider.

I assume you've looked for flash images here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php

I would think the original firmware on the phone is in this list, likely one of the "unknown carrier" files.

Try to determine which one is it and flash it using rsdlite - you might get lucky and it will work.

I believe Motorola has admitted that the bootloader should be unlockable on the XT1053 you have however those phones are missing from the authorized list. From what I have read it is something they are working on.
[Moto X Q&A] planktoid:
You need to allow flashing of signed images.

For the xt1053 you need to find a cid 3 image. This is a nextel mexico or nextel Brazil.
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
Interesting. I had sen a Nextel Brazil image on another forum but didn't try that. I am downloading now.

What do you mean by allowing flash of signed images? The cid 3 image will enable this in a way or the cid3 image is signed whereas the others are not?

Thanks!

edit: the Nextel Brazil image is for an XT1058, that's why I hadn't downloaded it before.
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
Well, I finally got the phone back!

I used the Brazil image and flashed everything but modem (since it is for an XT1058).

The phone booted! YAY! With a screwed up initial logo. But I had no WiFi, so I went back and flashed the Tmo OTA modem, erased all partitions and did everything else in the XML that I had skipped (like flashing system and logo), and now it's booted up and I have WiFi.

And now my system version is 139.12.35.ghost_row.NII.en.BR, instead of 139.7.30.ghost_row.NII.en.MX.

Is the BR version newer or older?

Oh and now my Mac sees the phone as an XT1058.

EDIT: The version must be newer, since I was able to update the Camera app on the Play Store
[Moto X Q&A] tuespazio:
Hi [MENTION=1096525]havanahjoe[/MENTION] i want to update my system because the choppy calls problems

you have some recommendation to update with brazil firmware?

Can you post your .xml

With what software do you use?
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
I used the XML in the Nextel Brazil firmware I linked above. I have a Mac so all I did was used the Motorola Darwin fastboot binary that is included in some of the other firmwares and manually flashed everything per the XML. You can use the Windows flasher that everyone uses, forget the name, and just use the same binary files.

I don't know if the modem files need to be skipped or not, but I did, and I then flashed the modem file from this image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2445955 but remember, do NOT flash the rest or run the installer script. Only flash the modem files manually. Or replace the NON-HLOS.bin file from that into the Brazil Nextel folder (or just delete the file to leave the modem as is, but that might be part of your call issues)

This is the XML in the zip:

[Moto X Q&A] sanez:
Did you check if this update changed your OEM unlock string?
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Let me get this straight, you were able to flash an XT1058 image on an XT1053 without having to unlock the bootloader??
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
Correct. The locked bootloader allows you to flash any image that has the same encryption keys as the original one. The Nextel Brasil XT1058 and the Nextei Mexico XT1053 (the one I have) use the same CID3 keys.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Cool! How can I check the CID3 keys of an image?
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
NII (Nextel) are CID3. Looks like all LATAM versions are CID12, US Cellular and Sprint are CID9, Republic Wireless is CID6.

Not sure what Rogers, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are.

Here's a list of available firmare http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Thanks for the info, I've been looking for such info for a while!

Does anyone know the CID of T-Mobile?

I have an AmericaMovil.PR XT1058 which I now know is CID12 and I want to install the T-Mobile ROM. I want to know if I can install it without having to unlock the bootloader or not.

Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
Why T-Mobile? Tmo is an XT1053. I have read about people flashing their LATAM XT1058s (all CID12s according to the list) with AT&T images with a locked bootloader. But you should look for a specific thread on that to get clarification.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Because the T-Mobile image is the only retail image that doesn't have carrier bloatware and has been updated to 4.4 KK. The AT&T image is full of AT&T bloatware and I don't want that.

Many people have flashed the T-Mobile image on their LATAM XT1058s but they have all unlocked their bootloader first and the reason I don't want to unlock my bootloader is because I hate the Bootloader Unlocked Warning message. I know you can replace the logo.bin file to get rid of it, but I don't want to do that.

I've been also researching if I can re-lock the bootloader after installing the T-Mobile image to get rid of the warning but I haven't found an answer to that question either.
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
I wish I had an unlockable bootloader! I have this Nextel XT1053 up for sale and will be buying an unlockable XT1053 tomorrow through Motorola.

You wouldn't mind your phone coming up as an XT1053?

Flashing a logo.bin would be the easiest thing. Motorola said they will honor warranties of unlocked bootloaders, so you really have nothing to lose IMHO.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
I don't mind my phone coming up as XT1053.

Flashing a custom logo.bin would remove the warning message but you would have to re-flash it whenever you install an OTA because it would be replaced with the original one. Also, a custom logo.bin would remove the battery empty sign because it is included in the original logo.bin, more info here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47898112&postcount=27

Regarding the warranty, Motorola will honor it for the Dev Editions only, if you unlock your bootloader on a non-dev edition phone, you would loose your warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] motoridersd:
Oh I had missed it was for dev editions only. Your best bet is to flash the 4.2.2 T-Mobile image and see if your phone takes it. I haven't been able to find any info regarding the encryption keys used in the US versions of the Moto X.

If something fails while flashing the 4.2.2. TMo image, you can flash the AM PR version since they are the same one. If it works, then you should get the OTA automatically for 4.4. You won't need to unlock your bootloader for the test and you should be able to recover.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Where did you read about people flashing their LATAM XT1058s with AT&T images with a locked bootloader? I couldn't find any threads about that.

Are u sure I would be able to recover if something fails??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] divertedmind:
Today my phone had been shutting itself off, but since I was on trying a new also rom, I figured probably just a kernel issue I'll re flash later. Come to the end of the day after getting some charge in the car then putting it down, it's powered down again after have been good for the past 6 hours. Pushing the power button didn't get anything. Charging light is solid red.

Anyone got ideas or clues ?

Solved: was just my rom not liking me. Adb reboot worked

debating whether or not to use one your thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gee2012:
i personaly never used a screeprotector on any phone, but i do recommend a good case that absorps shocks/drops because the screen cracks easily as it seems because of its size.

It s one of those. . You'd glad it s there when you need it.

damn that scares me, im not gonna use screen protector, i still have that stock film on lol, when it peels off im going all naked , but i did order a white BUMPER from iblason

[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
My work environment dictates that I have to have to have a protector. I don't care if it's gorilla glass 10 it will scratch.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] manalf:
I've had my Nexus since the 5th, no case/no scratches. I keep mine in a sleeve with fleece inside, I learned last time w/ my n4 that if you just put it in your pocket the glass will scratch from sand/dust/anything that may be in your pocket.. so I don't take chances anymore.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DoubleIk:
Everytime i didnt protect my phonescreen it had ended up with significant scratches so i would say yes
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timothyung:
The best way to decide is to judge from your experience.

If you aim to prevent scratches:

Think about your last phone. You used a screen protector.

Did you change your screen protector? When you noticed that the protector have scratches on it, were you annoyed?

If you find out you actually don't care much about the minor scratches on the film, and you don't plan on selling your phone, you probably don't need one.

The glass is much more scratch resistant than any screen protector. If you can stand those scratches on the protector, you can stand those rare and minor ones on the glass. Save money and enjoy the glass.

Just remember, never place your phone face down, nor wipe it with a dirty cloth. The sand particles will scratch the screen.

Of course, if deep scratches regularly appear in your case, you might want screen protectors.

On the other hand, there are protectors which tries to prevent the screen from cracking. I would recommend those if you don't want a case.

A case with raised lips is already very effective at preventing scratches/shatter as it keeps the screen away from the ground.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sampson0420:
installed a skinomi screen and body protecting film, love it, love it, love it. Doesn't do much for drops, otherwise awesome product and adds the perfect amount of grip. This was an issue for me having the white version.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bprochon:
I prefer the Zagg screen protectors from Best Buy and I'll pay them the extra money to install it. The few times I have installed them on my own I get dust or fingerprints, those guys install thousands and in my opinion are worth paying to take the hassle out of it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
You just have to be more careful and follow the directions to a t
[Nexus 5 Accessories] secretasianman:
It depends on how clean you keep your hands at all times and the environment you're regularly in.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 6_sigma:
Yes...but which one? Since 11-4 I've stayed with the screen protector from the factory. Tired of looking through the "nexus5," I'll decide today which one to use in its place. Any suggestions? The list is:

UltraClear that came with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid

TechArmor HD Clear (3-pack)

iSmooth Ultra Clear (3-pack)

XtremeGuard Full Body (2pc) - damaged in shipment, so this one is out
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rsa 329:
I don't understand why anybody would consider not using a screen protector. IMO it's cheap insurance. Properly installed, you don't even know they are there. You get fingerprints either way you go.

It's a no brainer for me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] secretasianman:
I don't have any experience with those screen protectors... But I am using the Spigen Crystal Clear 3pk and I'm quite happy with it (very good clarity and not sticky when swiping my finger across the screen).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lownita:
Is this the same that comes with ultra hybrid case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 6_sigma:
Placeholder until Spigen glas.tr nano slim...

Thanks. Whichever I select for now, it's merely a placeholder until early December when I can get my hands on the new Spigen glas.tr nano slim.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] marleyfan61:
I had a screen protector on my Amaze for about the first 2 months. Then it looked absolutely terrible with scrapes and bubbles and crap. Plus I hated the tactile feel. So I took it off and for the last year and a half I've gone naked. The screen has no marks of any kind on it. If my N5 ever gets here I'll be putting on a Cruizerlite case but no screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] secretasianman:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EV97UD6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1384628865&sr=8-1&pi=SY200

I have used the wet apply ones in the past (Zagg, Bodyguardz, and Skinomi). They all seem a bit sticky when swiping across them. The Zagg while being the priciest do remain scratch free better than the other two brands.

Recently I've decided to just use the cheaper multi packs and as I've said, the Spigen linked above works for me. I do see micro scratches on the protector when I LOOK for them in direct sunlight but the clarity is still very good.

I see no point in spending so much for a screen protector when I'll get a new Nexus phone next year ;)

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

I used to hate the plastic static or sticky type multi pack screen protectors until figuring out it should be installed in a bathroom after steaming it up to reduce dust. You can lift the screen protector and use a piece of Scotch tape to remove the dust.

I had an XO Skins screen protector on my Galaxy Nexus for a year and a half, and now have one on my nexus 5. Definitely the best brand of skin protector that I've tried.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bhazard451:
If you do not have a case that covers the screen, you must get a screen protector, or you will get micro scratches. I already have one on my Nexus 5 while waiting for a protector.

Start with a good cheap one like xtreme guard, then get a tempered glass one from China. The device will be protected while you wait, and tempered glass feels just like naked stock.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] paul_59:
I haven't got my Nexus 5 in a pouch, nor does it have a screen protector. I got my phone on 1st November, I thought Gorilla Glass 3 would be fine unprotected, yet I am surprised and a little disappointed that I can detect very fine scratches when viewed at an angle.

These aren't very noticeable, but compared to eight months using my HTC One with Gorilla Glass 2 screen unprotected in the same conditions, it would seem to be more prone to micro scratching than HTC One screen.

I did expect Gorilla Glass 3 to be more resistant to scratching.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matthewr87:
I had my GNex for two years and I carried it around without any kind of screen protector or case in my front jeans pocket. It has a fair amount of hairline microscratches but nothing too major. I am keeping my N5 in a microfiber pouch, so we'll see how it goes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] scottdouglasdick:
I say yes and go for the glad.t
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dwang:
The micro scratches are probably from the oleophobic coating and not from the glass itself.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dlog:
I had a screen protector on my Desire HD. When we were in Barcelona last summer, i always put the phone under my sleeping pad in fear of people searching my tent while i was sleeping. One night i accidentally put it under the pad with the screen facing down and some small stones under the tent somehow chipped off a bit of glass on the right edge of the screen. Nothing serious, but noticeable.

But here's the problem: The screen protector was on, but the display was still damaged.

On that same vacation my friend somehow split the topmost layer of his display in half. Can't remember how exactly it happened, but it also involved his phone lying under his pad and probably a stone scratching over the display. Yet again there was a screen protector present.

After that I've never used a screen protector again and the display hasn't got any more scratches. Only used a mumbi latex protector for the back that also has a rim that lifts the display a bit off the surface.

So as long as you don't have sand in your pocket, are clumsy and drop your phone a lot or are a woman (there's nothing more deadly for a display than sand...except messy purses) then you probably don't need a screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] .A.J.:
I also kept the factory protector on my N5 for days and the Nexus 5 written on it was very annoying.

Having never heard of the brand prior to looking for a screen protector for my N5, I took a gamble on the iSmooth brand. I have to say that it went on really easily and I'm satisfied with it so far.

I'd rather have a screen protector on my phone than regret having not put one on it at some point in the future.

Good luck to everyone with their decisions.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tkoreaper:
Is a screen protector necessary? ...About as necessary as a helmet... A seatbelt...Or a condom. Do you need it? No. Should you have it? YES.

It does nothing to hinder you or your device so the better question is "Why Not?" Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

All it takes is for the wind to blow some fine sand on your device, clothes, cleaning cloth, or hands and you'll end up with scratches. I don't care how careful you are, as long as you touch your screen it will always be at risk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dicecuber:
UPDATE: I went to get a screen protector applied and when I took off my Spigen Ultra Fit case for my n5, the corner scraped against the case and made a dent. I personally think Spigen makes their products a little too tight. The screen protector looks good, I have piece of mind now. My only complaint is that when using swiping to type, it has more friction. Causing it to be slower and harder to type.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
I said no at first but then ended up going for the xtremeguards $2 shipped deal since it says so inexpensive.

Unprotected these screens will get hairline scratches. It depends on how bad that will bother you.

As said properly installed you can't even really tell. I wouldn't invest a lot of money in glass screens and such, but for $1 sure.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dlog:
The less money you invest the less quality you get. Without a protector, wipe your screen clean and then swipe around on it with your fingers. You shouldn't see anything. Do that with a cheap plastic protector and you'll see a lot of smears if you don't wash your fingers every 5 minutes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
I have been using the $2 full body one and don't experience any of what you said comes with cheap protectors
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
I'm debating this myself too. My S2 had gorilla glass and after many many falls, without a case, 2.5 years later it barely had scratches. But I have a brand new 3 pack xtreme that I'm trying to convince myself to put on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] knowimagination:
I have tried many different screen protectors over the last couple years, and I have finally come to the conclusion that if I decide I want one it will only be glass protectors from here on out.

I have not found a single non glass protector that I could live with on a day to day basis. Although I found some that were pretty good (SGP, Power Support) I still never kept them on for more than a few months. Recently I got some of the Xtremeguard ones and they are garbage, the screen looked and felt terrible after install and I ended up taking it off after a day and a half of use.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
I just installed an xtreme protector. It sucks. No bubbles but orange peel galore. Ultra grip on the screen. I'll use it for now until the glass protectors get their quirks worked out.

The spigen one that came with my case was way better. But I put it on my husband's phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wkmyers62:
If you just want extra piece of mind then I would say yes, but most screen protectors I've had never got scratched so I would assume the screen wouldn't have either. But I keep using them just in case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Same here. Using the one that came with the case. So far, maybe one tiny scratch on the protector. Definitely scratch resistant. I'm not a fan of them but this one is nice and clear unlike cheap eBay ones.

just put on a Tech Armor protector last friday. It already has 2 hairline scratches on it today, but whether or not whatever scratched that would've scratched the glass is another question...but altogether contact that was avoided.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tpcrackpipe:
I always use a screen protector. They're ridiculously cheap and you can just swap it out when it gets scratched. Every time you swap it you're guaranteed a crystal clear screen. Scratches WILL happen without one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Blown 89:
I ran mine without a screen protector for 5 days and it has two hairline scratches where my thumb unlocks the phone so yes, you need one. I couldn't have been more careful with it too. Luckily they're so light and small that you can barely see them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] phaduman:
any one managed managed to remove the nexus5 print and use factory screen protector?

Anyone tried removing the "nexus5" print from the stock screen protector? It looks like a great screen protector - thin and more importantly, applied from factory...

I tried a few home tricks like alcohol solution to rub it off, goo-gone - no luck so far....

thanks for any tips. Love the nexus5 - so fast - its just amazing (coming from a galaxy s3)
