Thank you for the guide, but just to clarify.. There are no versions that SHIP with an unlocked bootloader. All phones ship with their bootloaders locked. The Developer Editions, and some carrier editions (like T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, Rogers Wireless, and others) can have their bootloaders unlocked by requesting the code from Moto's web site.
And even your Step 1 has you request the bootloader unlock code from Moto's web site and use it.
Just keep in mind, that completing the request process on Moto's web site voids your phone's warranty, unless you have a Developer Edition.
Once you get the code and unlock the bootloader, the Dev Edtion, Carrier Editions, Moto Maker Editions, all act the same... you can flash custom recovery, root, flash 3rd party roms, etc.
There are some carriers, like ATT, Verizon, Republic Wireless, where the carrier doesn't allow Moto to give out the unlock codes. (Exception being the Developer Edition for Verizon).

It does qualify. All xt1055s qualify. The no carrier is normal.
You are either entering the unlock data wrong, or you need to try a different browser. You are using the USA moto unlock site, right?
Let me try again tomorrow and get back to you.

Worked like a charm. I had forgotten to take out spaces from my unlock data. Hence your device cannot be unlocked message.
Also your bat file didn't do anything. It always gave success and when I fastboooted and selected recovery, it always went into No Command mode.
I had to download mfastboot.exe and then it worked via cmd.
Thanks for the post anyways. It made me finally jump in and root my phone.

That would be a huge NO. Lol
That's for the new X and will certainly brick your device.
Never flash anything not made for your exact device and model.

Description
Touchless Control is now Moto Voice.
Do more using just your voice.
Without touching your smartphone at all, you can get directions, set an alarm or pretty much anything—just by talking. Moto Voice is always ready. Say “Do I need an umbrella?” and it gives you the weather. Tell it you’re going home, and Moto Voice will get you there. Say "Find your phone" for your phone to make it ring so you can track it down.
On your new Moto X (2nd generation), there’s even more:
To make Moto Voice more personal to you, create your own launch phrase, like “Hello Moto X” and teach it your voice. Say “Play Beethoven on YouTube” to play music videos on YouTube. You can also interact with your favorite apps like Facebook and WhatsApp with your voice.
For Moto X (1st generation), Droid Maxx, Droid Mini, and Droid Ultra users, stay tuned for updates to Moto Voice / Touchless Control soon.
Languages supported: U.S. English, U.K. English, Australian English, India English, Canadian French, Belgium French, French, Italian, German, U.S. Spanish, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Hi
Thanks for the guide, I faced a issue so I am updating here if anyone else have the same issue.
Remove the line "fastboot reboot" in bat file before running, as it will reboot the phone in normal boot & then you will not be able to boot again in TWRP. After many attempt & forum reading I found that after flashing of TWRP device should not boot in normal boot firsttime. So after running the scrpit, the recovery will flash in 5-10 sec. From that screen itself select recovery & directly boot into TWRP. After that reboot from TWRP, it will ask you to install root.
First of all this is one of my firsts threads in XDA Forums. And this does not mean I don’t have any experience on Android, in fact, I have a lot, in the past I have the Galaxy S1 Captivate, MyTouch 4G and the Galaxy S2 T989 Hercules. I root all of them, change to different roms, kernels, stock roms, etc etc. I don’t always post because when I want to post something, someone already answer the question. Now I have the Moto 4G LTE XT1045 US version of single sim card (not the dual one), I have root it, I made some mistakes playing with the /system and /data partition with some apps that use root access and I soft brick the device. I turn it back on and the device was always in the “bootloader warning” screen. So I need in some way to go back to stock. Now that successfully restore the device I will not play with the partitions.

I find a few threads (which I give credits) and I restore the device back to stock. The problem is that what I do to restore back to stock, require me to go to different threats and different sites, I just can’t find one threat explaining everything in a nice and good looking way like the one that I am going to show you. Here in XDA we have experts, users and newbies, this is just an easy method for any of them.
(If you want to only Root the device in a safe way that don’t change your recovery, or the bootloader, just let me know, I am thinking in creating an easy-guide for root this device).
And second, thanks the users of the following threads, that are the ones responsible of almost all the things that I am going to say. (not in a specific order).
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1045-stock-rom-dump-t2794145/page2 (post # 14 by suhridkhan led me to an excellent guide).

4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 (the excellent guide, I mainly use the 3b instructions)
5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53765029&postcount=83&nocache=1&z=3906391665805131 (I confirm the order of the flash process)
Disclaimer:
Follow these instructions at your own risk. If something goes wrong don't blame me!
I have only tested this on a US Retail Moto G XT1045 with an unlocked bootloader.
There is a high chance that his guide will work will the others LTE variants(XT1039, XT1040 & XT1042), however, I don't have a proof of this since I only have the XT1045 and the threads that I use don't say anything about if it works or not in that variants. If it works, the only difference will be the .xml.zip file from your specific device. If you use this guide for one of those variants, please let me know so I can update the guide with that device that at this moment I don't have proof if it works or not, thanks.
OLD STATEMENT, THE ZIP IS OUT, READ GUIDE CHANGELOG. Users of the XT1045. We already have receive the OTA update of KK 4.4.4. If you already have updated your device to 4.4.4, please, do not use the 4.4.3 files to downgrade and restore your device to stock. The files from 4.4.3 are not going to work, I repeat, the files from 4.4.3 (the link I provide below) are not going to work. If you update to 4.4.4 via OTA and mess (or something inexplicable happen) with your device and now your device doesn't boot, then you must search in other threads for a solution. To follow this guide for a 4.4.4 stock, we need to wait for for the 4.4.4.xml.zip file, and as far as I know, that file is not yet available to download. I have search in everywhere and the file is not available, once I know that the file is available, I will download it and I test it with this guide and my device, and if it works I will update the guide with the new download link.
Guide Change-log:
I decide to create this "Guide Change-log" section to post the short-length changes that I have made to the guide, so that the old ones a new ones can understand everything. Everything that I post are things that I personally have tested, I will not post something without testing because I don't want to brick any phone (and if that happen I am not responsible, this is XDA, everyone in XDA know that and all the risks), if for some reason I post something not tested, I will let you know. If someone test something and it works, I update the guide with that user name because that are his credits, which ones I am really grateful. A grateful thanks to @NWKENT for the help you brings to the users while I wasn't in here.
01. The original post.
02. 19/Ago/2015:
A. I create this section.
B. The 4.4.4 update xml.zip is out. They two are both the same as far as I know. I have not test them in my phone for the reason that I already have my XT1045 in Lollipop, I am not going to try to go back to KitKat, there's a significant change in versions, I can't risk my device, I am planning to buy another XT1045 for rabbit-tests like this, but for now I only have one device. I will search some info and let everyone know what I can find. In case someone want to try, these are the links of the 4.4.4 xml.zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61789810&postcount=41
LET START
Pre-requisites:
a) Unlocked bootloader.
b) Download and install Motorola Drivers:
http://www.mymotocast.com/download/MDM?platform=windows
c) Download the stock firmware:
In our case (XT1045) is the RETUS_XT1045_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.23-4_cid9_CFC.xml.zip from https://mega.co.nz/#!kFYC0DbD!yNkcJbtMlEEM6kBOeVwYCRp3Fcv9gwKvC3EtgC-Du-k
d) Have the ADB active in your computer. In my case I already have installed the Android SDK and configured the ADB in the “Path” of my Windows 8.1 x64 system.
To do that right click the “This PC” or “Computer” icon on the start button and click “properties”, from there go to “advanced system settings”, click “environment variables”, from the system variables find the “Path” variable, click edit but DON’T delete anything, at the very end of the “Variable Value” add a “;” and add the path of your adb platform-tools folder. In my case is C:\android-adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools
For example:
The end of my PC Variable Value is: C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\
You must make this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\android-adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools
Now you click OK, click OK again and test if it works, to do that go to any windows explorer and press the shift button and right click, and click “Open command window here”. Write “adb” and click enter. If it say Android Debug Bridge version XX.X.XX and a lot of letters then you’re good to go, if your press adb and it say not found or something like that, then something is wrong.
e) Extract the RETUS_XT1045_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.23-4_cid9_CFC.xml.zip to a new folder in the desktop of the PC. Or your preferred folder.
f) The firmware we download earlier end with .xml.zip, for this reason we are going to need to download the Motorola Fastboot mfastboot-v2.zip (attached to this post) and extract only the .exe into the same folder as the stock firmware files (the same folder as the .bin and .img files). *User @darknomad23 finds out that mfastboot does not work with USB 3.0, so, use only USB 2.0. Thanks man.
Steps to restore stock firmware:
1) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode.
a) Unplug the USB cable and power off the phone.
b) Press and hold 'Volume down' and ‘Power’ button on the phone for around three seconds and let go the two at the same time.
You should now see the Moto G LTE bootloader screen with the following options:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
Barcodes
BP Tools
QCOM
c) Connect USB cable to your computer. Wait for the driver to be installed.
2) Open a command prompt (Start -> cmd.exe in Win7,8) and browse to the folder with the extracted firmware. Simply go to the folder with the extracted files and press the shift button and right click, and click “Open command window here”. In that folder you must have all the .img and .bin files and others, plus the mfastboot.exe file.
3) Flash each of the partitions in sequence using mfastboot, you need to enter the following commands one-by-one checking that each one returns an [OKAY].
Code:
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_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
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
In the: “mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.(0,1,2)” you must have the dot, the dot before the number. In some of the other guides I see that they do not add the .0 .1 .2 and it creates an error because the file is never found.
If you want the device to reboot automatically to bootloader mode each time you restart the device you can use this command:
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
If you don’t want to reboot automatically to bootloader mode you can use this command to clear that option on the device.
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
That’s all. I hope it works to you like it works to me, anything just let me know in the thread.
I've seen a lot of threads explaining the same thing, but not a single one specifically meant for the LTE, and being this complete. I have seen a few LTE owners panicking after following the steps in those threads too literally.
These are errors that are easily made, and could have been avoided if this thread had been up here earlier.
It might not be original development, but still very useful in the LTE threads?
You can see he put a lot of time in trying to make it as noob-friendly as possible, and even mentions and credits the original threads he used info from.
Many OP's don't even bother, or steal other's ideas making it look like it's their original idea. Tweaks anyone? [emoji13]
I wish all were as honest as this guy is, so kudos to the OP of this thread [emoji106]

Thanks for posting this thread.
It's definitely worth posting here as far as I'm concerned. I don't wish to wade into the vanilla Moto G forums if I can avoid it.
Hopefully I'll never need these instructions, but good to know they're here if I ever need them.
I have a US retail XT1045 Moto G bought from Amazon. It's running Android 4.4.3.
I unlocked my bootloader, replaced the warning screen, and rooted it. Looking forward to putting TWRP and a custom ROM on it when I get my PC back.

That’s right. There is a lot of threads about the Moto G, but for the LTE there isn’t lots of them. In a matter of time the community will grow. Now I just want to help the users, and I think that I am doing right.
I know about the errors, when I try to restore my phone to stock I try a few times before I can succeed, I succeed by my own and reading a lot. Once I successfully restore to stock I decide to make a thread so the others don’t make the same mistakes and errors that I made.
When I was going to post the thread I think and I was something confused if I post the thread in Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or Moto G 4G Android Development section. I decide in the Development because I as a user when I first search for my 4G version, I search in the 4G threads. Not the Q&A or General. I am looking for the 4G, not the “Not 4G version”. And since that there is not lots of threads in here, it would be better for the users. This is not the first thread of “back to stock” in Development section in XDA.
Yes, I like to give credits. I prefer to give credits. I know I could make this as totally mine and my ideas. But no, I am here to help, and being helped, that’s all. In a future I don’t want to have some “discussion” or “problem” in here about the info that I use, or something about their thread, stealing info, etc etc, you understand. I prefer to give credits.
And thanks for being sincere about what you think.

You're welcome.
In my case I only have one phone right now, this one. I need a stable phone and rom. I am running stock KK 4.4.3, I unlock my bootloader, and I root my device. In my personal thinking, I don’t want another rom or recovery, only the 4.4.4, the one that as far as I know it is not available to our devices yet. As I know there is not a really stable recovery to our devices, I only want root.
Why don’t you do what I do?
I unlock the booloader, root the device, and install the Xposed Framework.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
With the Xposed Framework installed and Gravity Box KK module from their repositories in the Download section I make almost everything of what I use to do in the custom roms. With Xposed, and Gravity Box I don’t need a custom rom for now.
I think this is a good thread. The information is tailored for the XT1045 user. I am not new to Android, but I am new to the XT1045 and I sure don't want to read about other Moto G devices that have nothing to do with the XT1045.
With that, the only criticism I have is using terms that the new guys will not fully understand, or instructions without steps to complete the instruction. Like boot into bootloader mode. I will have to research that to find the way to do it. However, if you say boot in bootloader mode and then give instruction on how, the battle is won.
I know this may sound silly, but having step by step is valid. I just ordered the XT1045 and should have it in a few days. I have at this time no plans to root or anything else. Not until I understand the device. I did the same with my SGT3 10" tablet. I had no problems because there were good step by step instructions on how to root.
The other device I was look at before buying the XT1045 was the Nexus 5. I found a thread that gave such detail instruction that it was not needed to look anywhere else. Here is the link so you see what I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905
I am sure this info is available elsewhere, but it was all right in one posting. I have never seen anything like it before. It was well written.
Thanks for you set of instructions for the XT1045.

Yep, still on 4.4.3. Even the Verizon version has it now :|
I've had a cleanup in here guys and I'd prefer not to have to return for the same reasons.
If you've got nothing constructive to add to the discussion, don't even bother posting.
I'm not going to single anyone out at this stage but the negativity and sense of entitlement around here is ridiculous.
Everyone has a right to their opinion but that's where your entitlement ends as far as I'm concerned.
Your right does NOT extend to posting your negative opinion here and derailing a thread from it's original intent - TO HELP PEOPLE.
If you think you can do a better job, by all means - make your own thread.

I'm still on 4.4.3, XT1045 TMOUS - no OTA available as of yet.
Forgive me if I'm being ignorant, but why would you want to flash 4.4.4 firmware given all the problems that update seems to be causing many 4G devices?

No Sir, not ignorant..LOL
I like to test, I usually purchase two of each device, and I have just purchased another XT1045 a few days ago, and I'd like to do some testing now..as long as one can revert, then I enjoy testing..
If you'all where to see a zip OTA or a Factory FXZ (when available) please post a link..thank you..
The XDA firmware pages (XT1045) doesn't even have 4.4.3 posted yet.?

Ah, okay. I (like a lot of us here do) have a slight phone fetish, as well (as you can see in my sig.)
Normally, I buy last year's flagships so I can get two phones for the price of one current flagship.
Originally I had bought a Moto G, then traded up to a 4G - to use a "backup" weekend phone.
Then two strange things happened: 1. I started carrying around my virginal white-on-white 4G LTE more than my flagship phones because it's so incredible and beautiful, so I became paranoid. The I realized that at $229, it cost almost as much as my used flagships G2 D801 and One M7 (275 and 300, respectively), so I'm as nervous about the 4G.
So last week I bought a cheap unlocked used 8GB MotoG for $119 as my "beater" and test mule. Rooted, Xposed GEL and - you guessed it - now this is my new favorite daily driver.
Not sure if this thread is still active, but I need help with this. I follow all the steps exactly and then when I try to boot up normally for the first time it says:
USB connected
Invalid boot image header!
Boot up failed.
What does this mean in terms of this guide?
2 questions.
Is there a cwm flashable zip of the stock rom for the moto g 4g lte?
Do updates work if youve unlocked the bootloader and rooted your phone?

Here is my OTA 4.4.4_21.11.56 peregrine (XT1045).. I have not seen a full (factory) FXZ for the XT1045, Nore have I ever seen it posted to the firmware pages..
One would flash this zip in TWRP or CWM..onto the existing (4.4.3)..

Fixed. Installed mfastboot incorrectly. I fixed this and used mfastboot, all is good now.
Sorry for my late reply.
@NWKENT
We have the 4.4.4 OTA update for the XT1045 a few weeks ago, I know. But at this time I have not find the .xml.zip file of the KK 4.4.4, I mean the one of around 500MB or 600MB. If you find it please let me know so I can update the guide, thanks.
@Voiding
Yes the guide still active. Because of the university I only connect when I have the time but yes it will be always active. Once I found new things I will keep updating the guide.
Glad that you can fix the problem.
Hello Guys!
I'm waiting for my new Moto X to arrive! Meanwhile, I'd like to start with a little contribution for the unlocked bootloader early adopters!
Just like the old Moto X thread, I present you the removed Warning Message logo.bin!
Simply flash it with:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Happy Flashing!

It's untested, since I am still waiting for it to arrive. But it's safe to flash, since it's a harmless file for Android as a whole
Please post results, and ENJOY!

And I have already added support to my boot logo maker utility for the Moto X 2nd gen. What is a pity though, is that despite larger screen size, motorola insisted on keeping the logo partition at 4MiB, which puts constraints on how complex a logo can be made. (Worst case of every pixel of the 1920x1080 display being unique, would result in a picture that will not fit the partition.) It does mean you can have at creating some custom boot logos for when you eventually do get the device.
Will try as soon as mine arrives
Will be visiting here often as soon as I get mine too.
Just flashed....it works perfectly! Thanks.
is the logo.bin file from the new Moto X or the old one?

I see your point, please don't take me seriously
Since day 1, a dump has been available at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=37
I just downloaded it, extracted the logo file and hacked it up. Even untested, it was the same old layout that Motorola has used.
Worked here. Thank You!
i'm really hoping this thread grows to become what the old one was, with many different boot logos. i still use the 2013 Moto X box prism one
Thanks for your work!

Anyone wishing to unlock xt1096 verizon moto x 2014 2nd generation phone's bootloader, it can now be done through official motorola bootloader unlock web service. Hope this is good news for all who have waited as long as I have.
Apologies for posting this in mutliple places but I just pulled the trigger on Nexus 6 when this report came in through google now of all places. Glad it did. cancelled order and moving on to future freedom! Been too long since I have been able to root but love this phone.
This Is aweome news. My Moto x pure is shelved for now. Last night I unlocked my Verizon 2014, and installed CM13. Its been flawless so far. And everything but moto voice still works!
XT1096 Marshmallow ?
Wondering if any devs will port Marshmallow to our VZW model ? Is it possible to fastboot flash all files except modems from another MM firmware like the XT1092 orXT1097 ?

Only if you don't use Verizon service. When you flash the files from xt1092, xt1097, or xt1095 it loses CDMA, which means it won't work with Verizon's service. But if you don't use Verizon, then yes that will work fine, just don't flash the radio files and you can have marshmallow on the xt1096.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I am on verizon and was hoping that just leaving out the radio files would work to get MM on the phone. I was just assuming that if CDMA was working on the CM roms that it would be possible for it to work on a MM rom also.
Guess I will be satisfied with having u/l bootloader, root, and TWRP installed which is way more than I ever thought would happen to this phone so its all GOOD !

You can use some custom marshmallow roms with cdma. For example cm13 works.

I've had so many problems with that crap...
I am on an XT1096 with an unlocked bootloader and running CM13. I am able to be on the phone while browsing the web, which is something I couldn't do on Lollipop. That and significantly better battery life are (at least) two reasons to upgrade.

hi there, read the post of how to convert your moto x to moto x pure edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
i am unlock to bootloader, and follow the post 2 step by step, read carefully for your moto x not brick :good:
Completely stock XT1096 (Verizon): Device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking..
Anyone have any idea why I am receiving a "bootloader cannot be unlocked" message ("Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking") on the Motorola site. I have an XT1096. I previously had the same model and was able to successfully unlock. Had to replace phone with the same model from Asurion and am now receiving this message when I attempt to unlock. I have run the process several times and have even used the Data Scrub Tool to ensure that my unlock codes are formatted properly. No luck...
Thanks

So when you flashed CM13 on your VZW MotoX it enabled simultaneous voice & data (not WiFi)? I just wanted to confirm this before I upgrade..that would be AWESOME!

It was wi-fi and not VoLTE, sorry for the confusion.
I've been searching the web for weeks and found nothing about this model of the Moto X Play, only found that is part of the Verizon RLA program. Only found Stock Rom in a Chinese site that takes ages to download nothing else.
Anyways if anyone know more about this model of Moto X Play XT1564 Please post here.
Model Number: Moto X Play
SIM: Single Sim / Factory Unlocked / GSM
Hardware SKU: XT1564
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: M8936_2020614.27.03.21.36.03R LUX_LRA_CUST
Kernel Version: 3.10.49-gc1b8c26 [email protected]
System Version: 23.21.25.lux_lra.lra.en.US
Build Number: LPD23.118-25
Roms, OTAs anything is appreciated

In US is called like that but in Puerto Rico is Moto X Play (LRA) Carriers Open Mobile (CDMA) y Claro PR (GSM) both comes Factory Unblocked.

Oh the Droid Maxx 2 is listed as an XT1565 I believe.
I did some searching and I think I found the same post as you. I would honestly try to get an unlock code the normal way from Motorola and see if its actually able to be unlocked, you may be surprised. If you get the code, you can try flashing the TWRP recovery we have for the Lux phones.
If you're brave enough anyway. If that worked, I'd attempt a nandroid backup for safety then try flashing some roms or just rooting it.
If I had the phone personally, I'd probably attempt it. Hopefully you can get the original firmware though, but you may be able to convert it to an XT1563 single sim.
I'm in the same situation, I got Moto X Play from Open Mobile. The same happened with my last phone, a GS 4 mini I had with Open as well so yea, though luck with our LRA version phones :S.
Could any of you guys post a link to that chinese site? At least having a copy of the original ROM helps.
I have the stock firmware 5.1.1 I will upload it to mega for others to download faster. It took me 7 hours to download that file from the Chinese site. Uploading to mega. I'll post here when finished.
Edit: Upload done here's the link.

Yes I unlocked the bootloader flashed TWRP then flashed crDroid ROM all good. Today I restored with the stock file linked, all good. I'm working on an updated tool auto batch/exe of my last tool for the Moto X 2014 to automate the process for Moto X Play 2015.

There's only one way of finding out by flashing a Rom, I would suggest starting with Tesla Rom as it has multiple setting under data for both GSM and CDMA.

Well if you're on verizon, you'll be waiting awhile but always be cautious, moto phones are prone to hard bricks when flashing bootloaders, more than a few dozen folks hard brick the original moto x from 2013.

I hear you on being cautious. And for MM, this phone isn't supported by Verizon, when I logged in to it, Google thought is was Maxx 2 and so does my Verizon account, but it is a Play for sure. So weird.

Verizon version of the moto x play is called the droid maxx 2, count your blessings because verizon doesn't allow their bootloaders to be unlocked on retail phones. You have to buy a developer edition phone out right on verizon
