[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Your first screen shot in Post 1 shows your phone has 161.44.32.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US. In other words, Sprint rom. So you should be able to flash the Sprint 4.4.4 you found.

Ideally you want to look at the FINE PRINT on the bottom of the back of the phone. It will have a model, like XT1056, XT1060, XTT1049, XT1053, etc. The other option, if you have the original box, check the label on the end of it. If the IMEI number printed on the label, matches what phone shows in its menus, then that label on the box should also tell you the model (the box for my Verizon X has MOTXT1060DEV on the bar code label.), Since you got yours used, its VERY important you confirm that is the original box when trying to use the box to confirm the model number!

As for risks of bricking... well, that is an unknown. There have been MANY bricks caused when users got them selves into the situation your phone is in. There is no 100% risk free process to try and recover. And that is why there are so many warnings telling people to NOT DOWN GRADE!!!

What I'm suggesting has worked, but you are correct, there is still a chance to brick. Taking an OTA in the state your phone is in also has a risk of bricking. Anything you try and do at this point also have a risk of bricking.

Yes. The phone will ERROR if you try to flash an older GPT.BIN which is what you are encountering. (bootloader version indicates you had 4.4.4 on your phone, including its GPT.BIN and Bootloader).

The problem is this...

The Phone's previous owner had a FULL 4.4.4 ROM flashed to the phone. They attempted to downgrade. Since GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG can not be downgraded, they did only PARTS!! Now the phone has mismatched bootloader, partition table and other parts compared to the older "System" and such which are installed.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
The model no written on back is XT1056. Just to be sure i have also attached the picture below. I am currently downloading "ghost_sprint-user-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.28-28-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip".

Should i go for all these cmds?

Also in this process, is their chance of my phone dead?

Will these cmds also lock my bootloader or should i just leave it unlocked? As currently my phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.

A step by step (maximum safe steps) for flashing would be greatly appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
XT1056 is Sprint. So ghost_sprint-user-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.28-28-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip is the right ROM to use.

use EVERY COMMAND AS STATED in the link. If successful, all parts will be back in line, and consistent.

As I said, yes there is a chance you can brick your phone. Many other things can brick your phone while you are in this state too. There is no 100% "Safe" and "guaranteed to not brick your phone" process when you are in this state.

This process will NOT lock your bootloader. And samwathegreat already told you there is no need to re-lock it.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
Ok then i will be trying it right now and see what happens.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
Thanks alot to [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION]. I have successfully updated my Moto X to 4.4.4 KitKat. I hope it had solved mismatched bootloader, partition table and other parts as mentioned by [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION].

Attachment of process is below.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Screen shot starts when system.img is flashing, so as long as the commands above that were also done and didn't error out, you are good!
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Excellent support here! [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION] are GREAT!
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
Sorry i didn't realize that. Yes everything part was flashed without error otherwise i wouldn't go further.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
But i am in a new problem now. My sim card is not working now. It says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network". If anyone can help regarding that or if i can flash something to make it work.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
it appears you're not using sprint as your carrier... So You may now have to run this process to SIM unlock -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
Yes i am not using sprint as my carrier. Thanks alot for the help again. I will try this now and post the result.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
I have read the forum. In there the file SPC doesnot support android 4.4.4 so i flashed other files. Here is what happened in "NV-items_reader_writer".

samwathegreat said it will also work without the SPC File.

Now my phone cannot switch network mode to GSM/UMTS. So i have put it on automatic, but now it is in searching for service and can't connect to network. What should i do now?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
This post would apply -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56527565&postcount=584

I would suggest you try and post in that thread asking, because its not a process i've used.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
I flashed the 4.4.4 SBF again and this time only write nvunlock only and now everything is working flawlessly. Thanks alot for all the help [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION]. You both keep up the good work. :laugh::cool:
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
One thing i want to ask is this screen always pops up on restart. And i want to stop it from showing how can i do that?

I don't know.

You can try and see if people in the thread for SIM unlocking have encountered the message, and how they deal with it.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
Yes bro i realize. There is so much going on in real life to give time here. Well thanks for the reply, i will ask in Sim Unlocking thread.
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:
I do not mean to highjack this thread, but I am having many issued with going to stock, every time I try to flash a stock firmware the device loops. I then must flash a custom recovery format the data then flash a custom ROM because the stock ROM just won't work.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
You can give your phone details here and [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] will be able to help you.
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
May i ask which stock rom are you flashing? And what is your Moto X model no(Written on back below)?
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:
Tmobile 4.4.4 been having the issue since 4.4.3
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If you have a "T-Mobile" Moto X (XT1053) based on checking the model on the back, and are flashing the stock moto XT1053 SBF, make sure its 4.4.4 only (because of your bootoader version).

Make sure you have the latest Android SDK/Platform tools, and the latest MFASTBOOT.exe

Then flash via the following....

mfastboot getvar max-download-size

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot reboot-bootloader

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata

mfastboot reboot

It will erase data.

Please post which, if any, of these steps error.
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:
I use Linux, I tryed to manually flash in that order already. It fails at system. Causing it to stay at splash screen indefinitely. To fix I flash a twrp boot to that. When it boots system doesn't mount nor data and doesn't allow roms to be flashed from internal or sideload.

I format data which allows for ROMs to be flashed / sidloaded and it works with the ROM fine with some of the ROMs.

Format data then flashing the stock recovery that comes with the firmware then try to manual flash to stock. Always results in the failure to flash system. Causing me to unbrick with twrp factory resets also doesn't help.
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Not sure about linux but on a windows maching you MUST flash the system.img via mfastboot since the file is too large for fastboot. Which means you need the mfastboot.exe file. But that might not mean anything to you with linux. Just throwing that our there.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
THe Roms that flash successfully, they are non-Moto Roms?

I would make sure you have and are using the Motorola version of Fastboot (aka mfastboot). Here are the Windows, Linux and Mac OS versions from the 4.4.2 dev edition rom -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/Mfastboot-442Dev.zip
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:
Well i hadf zero idea that linux had a mfastboot i been using just fast boot since the atrix hd days I will try it after I get the device again
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:
Linux is just normal fastboot package which is already not working I ill flash the 4.4.4 firmware and post what I get in return from it.

yes non moto roms work i hadn't had any moto stock roms that I seen as worth it to try
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
I'm also having the same confusion what usama Ahmed had and done the same mistake of attempting to downgrading from 4.4.4 to 4.2 only difference is my moto X is xt1052

But I stopped at second step mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot. Img when it gave me downgrading error. And restored my previous nandroid backup
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
Now everything is working perfect only the confusion is if in the future when there will be lollipop OTA available for my device and if I try to install it. Is there chances of bricking my moto x

Also here is my device info
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
In most cases, IF you downgraded but got errors on flashing motoboot.img and gpt.bin, if you were later able to flash the correct ROM (that matches your bootloader/gpt.bin) there were no issues taking future OTA's.

I have not seen discussion of someone who used a Nandroid backup to revert to the correct ROM/Android levels. So I can't say for sure.

If you want to play it safe, you can mfastboot flash everything for your 4.4.4, just do not execute the mfastboot erase userdata command so you retain your apps/data.
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
Thanks kidJoe for reply now I have flashed the European version rom 4.4.4 file for my XT1052

And this has flashed successfully for my XT1052. But as I am from india so the system version before flashing this was 212.44.26.ghost_row.AsiaRetail.en.03

And after flashing this European rom now it's 212.44.26.ghost_row.Retail.en.EU

As according to my knowledge Indian version is the same as European version for XT1052 and i have searched a lot for Indian version 4.4.4 which is not anywhere currently available.

So i have confusion that this version difference will it effect to install the OTA lollipop which will be provided in future or it will install normally and work fine?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Now that you are using the ghost_row.Retail.en.EU you should get that OTA.

I would suggest, if you can ever find the AsiaRetail XT1052 rom, you flash that to get back to your carrier's standard.

I never like flashing the rom from a different model/carrier
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
Can you specify what is carrier standards?

According to me you want to say that those system version which is dependent on a specific carrier. But XT1052 is carrier independent and when I flashed this European version so at first startup it detected my specific cellular carrier without any problem. And also want to know in future when I get the lollipop OTA under the setting system update should I install that will it be the European or AsianRetail OTA update. Or I should get the lollipop from other source specific for European version.
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
Hey KidJoe,

I have restored my previous nandroid backup which I have made before flashing the European rom and amazed that now I am back to my original system version that is RetailAsia and without flashing again the root is also there and everything is the same as it was before. Only thing I want to know is should I flash the stock recovery img now so that everything will be back to stock and there would not be any problem taking OTA update
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
What I mean is... If your XT1052 ships with xxx.xxxx.ghost_row.AsiaRetail.en, then flash only that series of roms for the XT1052. In other works, stick with the ROM for your model and carrier.

There were issues from some who cross flashed (flashed rom for another model or carrier on their phone) where they lost Cellular and could not get it back. Others who lost IMEI. I forget all the details, so I error on the side of caution and suggest not cross flashing. I don't like seeing people mess up their phones because sometimes you can't recover from it.

As for future OTA's, it depends on the ROM currently on your phone. So if you do flash a rom for your model but different carrier, example you now have the European XT1052 rom (212.44.26.ghost_row.Retail.en.EU) on your Asian XT1052 phone, you'll now get the European XT1052 Lollipop OTA when it is pushed, rather than your carriers xxx.xxx.ghost_row.AsiaRetail.en Lollipop OTA.

To install the OTA when it is pushed, you do need to have stock recovery on there (TWRP will cause a bootloop), and you need to be as close to stock as possible so that the OTA's pre-flash validation checks do no fail. You do not need to unroot, but if you or any of your apps that require root make too many changes to /System or the like, you'll need to undo them. If you have XPosed installed, you'll need to disable it. Now, if you just installed TWRP and rooted, then use things like Greenify, Wifi Tether for Root, Quick Reboot, etc (i.e. apps that just need root permissions but don't change/modify anything) then you can just flash stock recovery back on your phone and take the OTA.
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
Thanks KidJoe for helping.

As now I'm back to my AsianRetail version 4.4.4 rom and near to stock but only thing now left is the stock recovery and it is very difficult to find sbf rom file for xt1052 4.4.4 AsianRetail version so there is no way to find stock recovery img file for this version. But as I have European version xt1052 4.4.4 sbf rom file and it's stock recovery. So want to known the stock recovery img will be the same for both versions and i should flash it or it is different?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If I recall correctly, someone in another thread said the compared the RECOVERY.IMG from available European and Asian XT1052 4.4.2 ROMS and the recovery.img was the same. So mostly likely the Recovery.IMG from the 4.4.4 roms should be the same too. i.e. you should be able to use the EU XT1052 Recovery.img without an issue.
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:
This is the error always at system flashing any ideas?

We an error at flashing system
[Moto X Q&A] khushal.kowarkar:
Thanks for helping buddy. Appreciate for your advice:thumbup:
[Moto X Q&A] Durteedee:

Hi

I was using Swiftkey in the past and I got used to the keyboard layout for Arabic. However, it have gotten slow over the past months. So I decided to switch to Google keyboard.

So, I was wondering if it is possible to create a custom layout for Google keyboard based on that one (I am interested mostly in the location of the letters)?

If it is possible, I would appreciate it if you can direct me to a guide or give me a step-by-step solution?
