The two roms worked pretty well but the problem is that after running for about 30secs,the screen goes blank and the phone reboots, works fine for about 30secs and reboots again. I feel there's something I have not done please i need your help quickly. Or maybe anyone has had that experience while porting. Thanks

Search the Internet for the latest version of mtk Droid tools. Root ur device, install mtk Droid tools on ur laptop by unzipping the folder, u'll find the icon looking like android in the folder click it, connect ur phone using USB, make sure adb drivers have been installed on ur computer u can get it on the Internet. Click root on mtk Droid tools, yellow color at the base should turn green, click backup and restore on that page then click backup. It will take some time but should be fine. Then it'll ask if to zip, click yes and there's ur rom.

You need to edit the build.prop file on your port rom. You will find it in the system folder. Open the build. Prop for ur stock and port, using notepad+++ and look for the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=***" the * represent numbers. Copy it from the stock and add it to the build. Prop on the port. Also look for the line ro. sf.hwrotation=***, LOOK for that line in the port and change the value to the value in the stock. Hope it helps

[Moto X Q&A] terinfire:
Hello all,

Was thinking about trying out the Moto X. I had lurked somewhere in the general forums and thought I saw something that said that if we flashed the System ROM/Dump from something like the XT1053 to the XT1060, XT1058, etc, the phone would essentially become the XT1053 -- provided the Bootloader is unlocked, etc.

Do they all have the same radio, more-or-less, and are capable of just flashing to get it to work? I saw something about possibly getting T-Mobile to work on an "unlocked" XT1060, but issues with APN's, etc -- my goal is to not have to worry about that whatsoever -- and just use it with stock/without weird configuration (had to do this on a Sprint phone that was ported to cricket years ago -- was somewhat of a pain).

So yeah -- per the original question -- is the only difference on the phones the radio LOCKs based on Firmware -- and if I flash a XT1053 image on XT1060 phone, will that behave exactly the same as a XT1053 thereafter? (and kudos if anyone has any links so I can refer to that process later)

Thank you!
[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
Vzn Moto X on T-Mo You should check out this thread.

I've been looking for info for a similar question. I have an xt1053 unlocked on T-Mo (very happy) but have considered getting a new phone and giving the X to my wife on Verizon through her work. I think the xt1053 can be flashed with Verizon stock rom, APN adjusted, new sim and used on their network, but can't confirm it. I think the X's have both GSM and CDMA bands available so it should be doable.
[Moto X Q&A] terinfire:
That seems to be the case, but looks like I'd need to find a 4.3 or before device to unlock the Bootloader (if I can), and then to flash a T-Mobile ROM to it to update it as necessary... Looks like an interesting option.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Just to clear it up:

The XT1053 can NEVER be used on Verizon. Never ever. Can you flash the VZW ROM? Sure (even though it's not safe). Can you actually get it to work on VZW? Absolutely not. The XT1053 is a GSM-only phone. Verizon is a CDMA network. That's like trying to play a cassette tape in a CD player - they just aren't compatible.

Now for the reverse scenario: The Verizon moto X has BOTH GSM **AND** CDMA radios inside, which is why you CAN use the VZW variant on T-Mobile.

And finally, you CAN use a non-XT1053 (for instance, the XT1058) on T-Mobile, but you might not get LTE or HSPA+ depending on the frequencies supported by the model you are referencing. Calls/texts will most definitely work.

The individual variants DO have totally different frequency bands that are supported. You need to check the frequencies supported BEFORE you make a purchase - otherwise you may well find that calls and texts work, but you can only get 2G (EDGE) data.

Good Luck guys.
[Moto X Q&A] terinfire:
So... that being said, it looks like T-Mobile is compatible with the XT-1058 -- 1058 shares all the same LTE bands as 1053, per Wikipedia; it does lack one of the bands for 3G on T-Mobile (1700), but does have the 1900 that I believe T-Mobile was moving its 3G service to, anyhow.

Now, the real question... if I unlock the boot loader, I wonder if I could flash a similar version'd (i.e. 4.4.3 -> 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 -> 4.4.4) image over. Looks like I'm pursuing a 1058 at this point... Thoughts?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Due to the different frequencies supported, the modem/radio files vary from SBF to SBF.

In some cases, people have flashed one model GSM X with the SBF from another GSM model and it has worked, and in other cases they have lost use of the radio.

Being on Verizon, I haven't experimented with cross flashing radio/modem files, nor have I kept up with it completely to know the whats, whys, etc. and certainly can't advise what is safe and what is not.

However, there are a few things I can tell you for sure...

If you cross flash, do NOT ever downgrade. You will risk bricking your device. If you mix and match parts (radio, recovery from one ROM with a system from another), do NOT take an OTA. It will either fail or BRICK your device.

In order to flash the SBF from another model X on your X (say flash a XT1053 SBF onto an XT1058) you need to have an unlocked bootloader.

With the XT1058 in the USA, that is an ATT Device. The only way to unlock its bootloader is to hope either Sunshine works, or the Chinese Middleman has the unlock code for your phone's IMEI.

The ATT XT1058 is SIM locked, so you'll have to buy a code for that too otherwise the phone will reject the non-ATT SIM.

Due to the radio chips and antenna setup inside the X, just flashing the SBF from another model (including its modem/radio files) might not get you support of additional frequencies.

The easiest thing to do.. Buy an XT1058, unlock its bootloader, sim unlock it, and use it as-is with a T-Mobile SIM. Root it, remove any bloat you want, and block future OTA's (unless you put the bloat back). It will work for all T-Mobile bands/frequencies except 4G/HSPA+ on AWS (i.e. 1700/2100Mhz HSPA+) In those areas you'll get EDGE. However as T-Mobile completes its "Network Modernization" around the country, it is shifting HSPA+ to 1900Mhz which the ATT XT1058 supports, so in those areas you'll get HSPA+ just fine.

My phone loses the APN settings as soon as I leave the page after setting and saving them. I can set them, save them, go to another page, and return to the APN settings page and all the settings I entered are gone. Name, APN, Proxy, Port, etc. all say "not set". I'm pretty sure that is the reason I can't send or receive mms picture mail . As far as I can tell, everything else on the phone is functional. The phone is running on 4.4.4 android version. My carrier is Straight Talk. I have spent hours on the phone with them and also Sony trying to resolve this issue, without success. Sony seems to think the problem is with Straight Talk, and Straight Talk thinks it is a phone problem. Do you have any ideas?
