is not risky to upgrade, just follow post No.2 and everything should be fine.

remember that upgrading partition and bootloader may block the oportunity to downgrade later.

This is not totally true. After flashing the xt1095 5.1 firmaware in my xt1092 i lost LTE functionality. Other bands were working.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Hello my friend, in order to help you I have a few questions. What company and carrier are you in? did you change the preferent network type over settings/more/mobile networks/prefered network....??? What do you mean by "other bands were working"?? I mean, dont work anymore???

thanks :cowboy:
[X 2014 General] thrill1985:
German Vodafone. When i leave prefered network on LTE, it is connecting only to HSDPA. Whit the APP 4G switcher i switched to only LTE. No signal after i did it. And i meant 2G and 3G were working. After flashing the modem files of the european firmware (xt1092) was it working like usual incl. LTE. So i think not all baseband frequencies are working within the xt1095 firmware like statet in the op.

Can somebody please shed some light as in what's the advantage of converting. I bought my moto x from Motorola directly in UK. My model number is xt1092
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
What I meant is that in 5.0 you had to flash your modem in order to get any signal, because all variants of moto x were incompatible with the baseband of 5.0 pure edition; now, with 5.1 is not neccesary and it depends of your carrier mostly, here in mexico i am using the stock baseband of 5.1 and i cant switch between 2,3,4 g without any issue; but I will update post with your information.

there is no advantage at all if you have a retail Europe. The convertion is intended to models with some carrier, like AT&T, Verizon, Claro, Vodafone and a huge etc, because the carriers take months to update their firmwares and full of bloatware, so if you have the RETEU you dont have to convert to pure edition because the XT1092 bought directly from Motorola is like an "european pure edition", I think that you must be on 5.1 already official, if not try to wait couple days to see if the update message pops.
[X 2014 General] thrill1985:
THX bud! I appreciate all the work u doin.

I still not try convert to any for my XT1085 cause afraiding brick. I read 2nd post. I don't need to worry to brick? I still want my XT1085(5.0.2 ) convert to any like XT1092 5.1 with GPT,motoboot. and this convert way is mean full convert?

[MENTION=4429834]juliospinoza[/MENTION] After 5.1 update, is there a way to root?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Well, if you want to convert you should go directly to the pure edition instead of the xt1092... if you are worried about the bands make a test and if you face some problem just flash again the modem of the chinese version (xt1085).

I doubt about the bricking, because the hardware is the same than the xt1095/1097. If you want to make a test try this.

first, flash the system images and if you see some kind of error on your phone or fastboot window then you will have to flash ALL the files exactly as post no.2, after this error DON'T TRY TO REBOOT SYSTEM, means that the system you are trying to flash is not compatible with the partition, dont worry, is a "normal" error and you have to flash all files, and yes, you will have to erase data/cache 'causeif you want to keep your data or cache you will enter in a bootloop 'cause the mismatch of the partitions. Is always better to make a fresh install when you are converting from one model to another. So, feel free to flash and enjoy. if you have any issue please post the results also if you succeed

yes. http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-5-0-t2941388

Those are not files, those are partitions displayed by name. You have to backup the partiton and save it to a file. But it's not necessary now that you are downloading the file I linked.

You can't do it at all. It only works for xt1097s that are not from AT&T.

Hi all,

I'm trying to do the 3rd part of this tutorial (backup), but is not giving to execute the following commands:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/partition of=/sdcard/gtp.bin

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/motoboot of=/sdcard/motoboot.img

dd: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/partition: No such file or directory

dd i/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/motoboot: No such file or directory

My question is: Can I continue with the migration from version XT1097 5.1 to XT1095 5.1, without the backup of these two directories, or should I stop here?

I have a XT1097 - System Version 5.1 (23.11.14.victara_retbr.en.BR retbr).

[MENTION=4429834]juliospinoza[/MENTION]

I'm on xt1092 5.1 (India) retin

I want to root.I went through the sticky roll up thread and found this thread.

It seems to suggest to convert to xt1095 then root. Why? Is it because xt1095 updates are faster and easily available and the other version images are sparse. And i'm assuming we can update to future xt1095 images, like Android M?

I just want root for now, but update when Android M comes out.

After the bootloader unlock? Is there a root only tool. Or should i take the convert to xt1095 >root path

Kindly Help out.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Well, the XT1095 is the pure edition and is supposed to receive the updates first, but, in recent events Brazilian and European were updating to 5.0.x and the pure edition got on 5.0 till the update 5.1and according to Motorola that was because the 5.0 on pure edition already implemented the minor updates of the 5.0.x. One thing is for sure, the XT1095 was the first to receive the Official 5.1, other variants like the 1092 and 1097 received 5.1 first but they were leaks, soak and beta.

If you want to root you can install TWRP and auto root with recovery, it worked for me.

The tool to auto root I think is made for 1095 and 1097 only.

The root via fast boot is almost universal, I probe it on 1085, 1097 and 1095 so it should work on 1092.

With the BL unlocked you can always flash different system versions and yes, eventually you will be able to flash Android M.
[X 2014 General] rezurect007:
mm, thanx.

So im guessing no root for other versions , so the 1095 way is the option to go for future updates too.
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
Incorrect, the 1092, 1093, 1095, 1096(mofo), and 1097 can ALL be rooted.

Changing to 1095 just means faster updates, nothing to do with root at all.
[X 2014 General] rezurect007:
Oh. I understand.

Since there won't be any ota after rooting, the1095 conversion seems the best option
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
OTAs still happen after root on all the models. If you want to disable OTA freeze MotorolaOTA.
[X 2014 General] rezurect007:
[MENTION=5230902]AGISCI[/MENTION] Thanx for the info.

Was under the impression that OTA's stop after root and super su install. Read somewhere once system files are modified OTA hash verification fails or something.
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
The phone still receives notifications and downloads the OTA, and tries to install it. But it will fail during install because you have root. And the phone still checks for new OTAs, which uses your data and battery. So if you root, you can freeze that app to disable OTA completely.
[X 2014 General] rezurect007:
So i guess i have to flash each update manually. Is there a risk in converting a xt1092 to 1095? Like in future 1095 updates , a modem might not be included? Which do you suggest a 1092 root or convert to 1095 ?
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
No, you can't flash the OTA manually. To use an OTA you have to be 100% unmodified, so no root, no busybox, no xposed, no custom recovery. So if you do modify, you will need to undo everything to be able to update. As far as 1095, the only benefit is that it should get android m before 1092. 1092 will get android m as well, but you will have to wait longer.

If you want updates faster, convert to 1095. If you don't care, then there is no reason to convert your phone.
[X 2014 General] rezurect007:
So to upgrade. I have to flash stock 5.1 . Then apply OTA. And root again?

So if i convert to 1095, do i have to flash back to 1092 or the 1095 stock 5.1?
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
There are 2 ways, undo what you did, unistall root, xposed, etc. Or flash stock.

If you stay on 1092 you would go back to stock 1092. If you convert to 1095 you would go back to stock 1095.
[X 2014 General] rezurect007:
Thanx a lot. Was really helpful.
[X 2014 General] abuttino:
Can this be performed on a Verizon model?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
If you can unlock your BL then this guide is for you, but if is locked don't attempt to do this you.may cause a brick.
[X 2014 General] abuttino:
Oh, I thought the title on the thread was to convert any phone to a pure edition. Not really what it is..

Should edit the thread title and say something about unlockable BL only.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
All procedure that involves some development, flashing and rooting needs OBLIGATORILY to unlock the BL but in counted versions like yours.

So, if you read through the General section you will find that is easier to point guides to specific version with BL locked than make all post with the suggestions you are making, besides, if you read the first post you will see that is clearly listed on STEP 1. You should be able to unlock your boot loader.

I'm sorry but I can't change the title anymore, I have no more space to post as it.

Regards.

Stuck in boot loop

Hola Julio,

I changed my Telcel XT1097 to XT1095 a while ago in order to update to 5.0, now I followed your instructions on the second posts to update to 5.1, I only changed the flashing of the system because there are 7 sparsefiles in the zip. But then after rebooting I am in a boot loop, how can I "unbrick" it? I am new to this and a little nervous.

Thanks.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
That's not a big problem, is a loop caused maybe because you did not flashed the kernel and the partition, just tell me exactly what you did, because I dont understand what is changing the flashing of the sparsefiles.

[X 2014 General] kanonrho:
Hi,

I flashed each one without problem
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
That is not a recovery-flashable zip. Download, extract, and flash each piece in the correct order using fastboot commands.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
So I was already on [MENTION=5983610]JulesJam[/MENTION]'s 5.1 mofo image. I went ahead and flashed everything. I did not delete userdata, but wiped dalvik/cache. When I booted, I noticed a couple of problems:

1. When someone attempted to call me, my radio would appear to die (no bars) and the caller would get a message that I wasn't available

2. There were not quick settings in the pulldown shade

I'm hoping this is something wrong other than me not deleting userdata. Any ideas?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
what version did you flash and what version did you used to have??

1. seems a problem with the modem version, you need to flash the original of your model

2. once happened to me, was something with the system, what i did was to wipe format and data via TWRP, then flashed the system again.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
I have an ATT XT1097 and I flashed VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_cid9_CFC.xml.zip. Should I have flashed a different modem?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
yes, flash the modem of your original version, it doesn't matter if is for the 4.4.4 or 5.0, just be sure that is for ATT 1097 and please share your results

regards
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
I will try that shortly. Since I've flashed everything else, do I only need to flash the modem and system? Essentially this:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Exactly, just those files.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
If you want to just flash the 5.1 AT&T XT1097 modem (NON-HLOS.bin) and basebands (fsg.mbn), these are the commands:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Just FYI - fastboot cannot flash a single image system.img - you need to use mfastboot. If you have the sparsechunks, you can flash them one by one using fastboot.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
Results: It didn't work. I still couldn't receive a call. I used the modem files from VICTARA_ATT_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-21.2_cid1_CFC.xml.zip.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
Anyone got any ideas? Have I possibly missed something else?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Try also flashing the system but before doing that wipe data and cache. Is always good to install fresh.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
Not sure if you saw it earlier, but Im trying to avoid wiping data. Is that likely my issue?
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
That could be your issue if some of the data is not from the 1095. After this procedure you should delete data and cache. Just backup your files before you do.

That's okay I don't need CDMA anymore. Just GSM, HSPA/HSDPA (whatever) and LTE is fine. I have a XT1096 and I wanna go Pure.

[X 2014 General] tyus2:
The way I understand it is: I'm on 5.1 right now (XT1092). If I want to convert to XT 1095 on 5.1, I would need to flash the full firmware of 5.1 XT 1095 including the modem (since it is fully compatible from 5.1 onwards). I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I flash motoboot.img and gpt.bin as well? Are they universal or customised to the models? I'm on 5.1, so should I be flashing these files of 5.1 XT 1095 on my device? I do not want to brick my phone.

2. Can I take the future OTA, would it not cause a brick? (because my model is XT 1092, will taking OTA of XT 1095 cause a brick?)
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Yea, in order to convert to 1095 just flash the firmware via Fastboot.

1. You can flash the bootloader and the partition as well because there are universal for the official 5.1 update and most likely you already have those files because you are already on 5.1 XT1092.

2. You can receive future OTA only if your phone is stock, no root, no different recovery etc and there is no risk of brick because the firmware is official and you will receive OTAs for the XT1095.
[X 2014 General] tyus2:
Thanks. What about the signal? I understand that modems are compatible, but is that supposed to mean I will get signal when I live out of United States? Will LTE work?
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
Yes, you will get full LTE signal but if you experience some problems just flash the modems of your model and that's it.

I tried to flash logo and baseband files again but was unable to get any succes. What could be reason and possible solution.

did you wipe the modem and flash the new one after that? Sometimes the baseband shows your carrier and the baseband, post a picture please

Pics attached.
[X 2014 General] bigbyte.me:
I even tried a dd clone for fsg and modem partition from adb shell after rooting device. I think some kind of security is preventing system partitions to be overwritten even with root permission.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
I don't see what's the problem you mention. I see that the version system is TMO and the kernel version and baseband matches. Or what issue do you have?

PS. Do you already flashed the logo
[X 2014 General] bigbyte.me:
Since the name of carrier shown is still USC, I am under impression that baseband is not getting flashed and some kind of security is preventing it to do so.
[X 2014 General] juliospinoza:
well, I double checked with my phone and the baseband is the same as yours and I am pretty sure the USC at the end of the version means that somehow is "locked" to the carrier you have (in my case appears like niimx and I did not flash the old modems) , but if you are not sure flash again the modems and check if the fastboot or your phone shows some error.

[X 2014 General] d.spodin:
Yes, US Cellular. my 1056 Sprint can work with GSM )
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
US Cellular variants have to be GSM unlocked in a store or sent in. They should work at that point on GSM with the stock XT1093 firmware.

Hm...

I didn't understand... I can't ship phone to shop or service and think to convert my 1093 to 1095 for GSM
[X 2014 General] borxnx:
You don't convert anything. If you flash the firmware for 1095 it won't work properly. If it's been SIM unlocked by US Cellular you can just put in a SIM and it'll work on GSM.

I'm sorry to post a new question, but since I'm a little bit confused, I will.

Arround a month ago, someone gave me an XT1097 AT&T with 5.1 software up to date through OTA updates.

System version: 23.16.2.victara_att.att.en.US att

build: LPE23.32-21.2

Is there a way by any method to either get root or get rid of att bloated version. My instinct thinks that if I flash everything from a 5.1 XT1095 to my phone it will work, but how will I start if I can't unlock my bootloader?

Thanks for your clarifying answers.
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
Sorry, there currently is no root for the AT&T on 5.1. You also can't unlock the bootloader. And since the bootloader is locked you can't flash the xt1095 firmware. So there is no way to get rid of the bloatware, root, nor unlock bootloader.

will this my phone rootable?

[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
Sorry but the xt1096 on 5.1 currently cannot be rooted. It can not be bootloader unlocked either. There is nothing that you are able to do. You also cannot convert it to xt1095 because the bootloader is locked.
