Just bought my New Moto X Style today (Im in UK).. Ive been looking around XDA and I just wanted to check that I am running the latest Rom and is it UInbranded as Ive never used a Moto X before, so I dont know their firmware names system, so:
Thanks all
Yes, this is the current official release.
Build number is the important piece... 18-4 is the 4th update/patch to the current build, the important piece is MPHS24.49-18-4 and that's what too look for.
Thanks for Rom info friend.. always keen to learn what Im using and what to look for when updating / flashing..
Appreciated

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum/site, just looking for a few pointers. I've been using a BlackBerry Curve (8330) since 2008- it's been a great phone and hasn't ever significantly let me down. However, I was given a phone about a year ago (Verizon Motorola Droid Razr M, XT907) and it's just been sitting in a closet here since I got it. Decided to finally get with the times and would like to start using it, hence why I'm here.
I'm wanting to put a custom ROM on it, though really don't know where to start. There appears to be several different ones, not sure how each differs from the next. I have experience installing a custom OS on my BlackBerry but am completely in the dark with Droid phones. Came across a few sticky threads on how to go about installing ROMs and such, just looking for suggestions at this point I guess.
I reset this Razr M to factory stock- twice just to be sure. My main goal is to remove all the unnecessary bloatware that comes pre-installed on this thing (if possible)- Amazon Kindle, Amazon MP3, Audible, Backup+ Media, NFL Mobile, etc. I won't be using about 75% of the preinstalled applications.
The phone as it sits in front of me-
System Version
98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US
Model Number
DROID RAZR M
Android Version
4.1.2
Baseband Version
SM_BP_101032.021.32.80P
Kernel Version
3.0.31-gef7deb8
[email protected] #1
Build Number
9.8.1Q-94-1
Build Date
Thu Sep 26 12:22:41 CDT 2013
So, my question(s) are mainly- Does it matter which version I'm running in order to be able to install a custom ROM on here?
Would like to eventually root this, though not a priority at the moment. Is it required to be able to put a custom ROM on it?
I see KitKat being mentioned often along with JellyBean and Ice Cream Sandwich, something or other. No idea what any of those are. Could someone elaborate a bit?
Thanks much in advance, apologies for being the n00b.

to install a custom rom you need an Unlocked bootloader and custom Recovery like TWRP

Installing a Custom Rom will be installed over stock, and will not contain bloatware.
If you just want to remove Bloatware, all you need is Root access.

see [GUIDE][FAQ][KK] How to Root, Boot Unlock & More by ATTACK
Likely best option is Flash 4.4.2 (182/183.46.10 )Firmware with RSD Lite then unlock bootloader
read 2. BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING
then read it again
then ask more Questions, if needed.
I am wondering if Paranoid Android has an official lollipop version out for Moto G XT1032? On the website the last updated version is from last year and its named: pa_falcon-4.6-BETA5-20141023.
I would also like to know (that once my phone is rooted and has CWM on it) if I could just simply install it using the CWM tool and the zip file? Or do I need to do other things like wiping the cache and so on?
Since you don't see a version on the website then there isn't one....
The website is where all official and legacy versions are released. If it isn't there, then it isn't made by us.

Now it has been maintenance.
Look at this thread.

I thought For Kitkat its the final build, so no further development.
Hi everyone,
Just received my one plus 2 from oppomart.
Very nice phone and 100% compatible with EU carrier.
I've Android 5.1.1
Oxygen version: 2.0.0
And it's the 64gb version.
I've started it and it just downloaded all my apps with my google user exactly the same as my old samsung GS4.
But... I don't know why, I'm having sometimes some ads appearing! That makes me sick! I've a popup on the middle of the screen with different ads!
Does somebody know how I can get ride of this ? I've exactly the same apps as I had on my GS4... and on the one plus 2 I've those stupid popups appearing.
I've of course already restarted and reseted my phone but that keeps coming :crying:
Any idea for this scary problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Mourte
Wipe and do flash new ROM from reliable source.
Obviously read up if your new to this.

Thanks for your advice.
New ROM from Oxygen OS are not easily available for this new phone...
But I'll have a look

Hello everyone, I know that is something almost impossible but I have tried to launch a petition to motorola / lenovo to ensure that releases least marshmallow on the fantastic moto g 2013, all you have to do is a little sign at this link:
thanks in advance to all those who will participate.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
If u would flash a custom ROM u could enjoy the taste of nougat!!!
Moto did treat Falcon very well compared to how other OEMs behave.
Jelly Bean (4.3) - KitKat (4.4.2) - KitKat (4.4.4) - Lollipop (5.0.1) - Lollipop (5.1)
And there already is a Stock Motorola Marshmallow ROM available:
[ROM][FALCON][6.0][STOCK] Identity Crisis 6
Oh man..you're still stuck with petitions while Motorola has been eaten by Lenovo..
I understand the initial hesitation for unlocking bootloader and flashing a custom rom. It is assumed that custom roms will never be as stable as stock roms and it will keep rebooting,apps crashing..and what not. .
Listen man, moto g 2013 is history long back. If you want marshmallow,unlock bootloader first, unlocking the bootloader of motorola had been one of the easiest and it has great developers. There are plenty of marshmallow roms and after I write this post, I am going to download the updated Nougat rom by @srisurya95. I have been using it since 28 Sep and its smooth,stable, never had a single random reboot or any wild battery drain. Enter the world of custom roms and forget the official support. Here's the link to the rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-aosp-oms-substratum-moto-g-t3469861
IMO moto g 2103 is the only phone which got the best update from the manufacture till date
Enough update we got already.....
Well...

People launch petitions for literally anything these days.
Hi There!
I own an LG G5, which I flashed with Fulmics ROM 1.7 some 3 years ago. I would like to update to version 5.5, but am not able to use the built in update functionality to update to any newer version.
I had flashed a few ROMs in the past and know how much one can do wrong while doing this. Since I didn't have any recent practicing, I would be more than happy to pay a savvy person to walk me through this process.
I wonder if somebody on this forum would be interested in helping me out.
Alternatively it would be interesting to learn if there are any online businesses that flash ROMs remotely on a professional basis. I had no luck searching yet. Would be thankful for a hint on this as well.
Gracias.
you should just be able to flash 5.5 on top of 1.7 in twrp
Eventually I was successful in finding help on online classified websites like Craigslist. In my particular case it was the German ebay-kleinanzeigen.de, where I found a very responsive guy named Sidney. Thank you!
