This is a nand that I created with twrp. It is completely stock and unrooted. By restoring this, flashing the stock At&t modem and flashing stock KXE21.187-42 recovery, you will be left with a complete stock unrooted kitkat Moto X XT1095 capable of taking the ota.

1. Place nand in the backups of your twrp recovery
2. Restore with twrp
3. Factory data/reset
4. Flash At&t modem (fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img)
5. Reboot to fastboot mode
6. Flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery_victara_KXE21.187-42.img).
7. Reboot
If you want the OTA.... adb sideload (you can find the OTA file on another thread).
IF you follow the directions as I have laid out, you will have a completely stock, unrooted-fresh install of kitkat. You now should be able to safely take the ota using adb sideload.
This has been tried by myself multiple times successfully. This is only for the XT1095 variant. If you are crazy enough to try it on another variant, please post your results.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. I will try and answer any questions as long as I have the time. Hit "thanks" if this helps.

Yes, it's basically a prerequsite for the ota to flash. If you have no plan on flashing the ota, then you can use the radio of your choice.

Not to sure what you are saying.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img
That's pretty clear to me. Im guessing if you can flash a recovery, you can flash the modem, performed by fastboot.

My pure edition, XT1095 came out of the box with T Mobile baseband / modem. Not sure why the ota would need AT&T (also had no issues sideloading the lollipop update)
I am pretty sure it is only required if you used the multitool which has a different modem included. This modem is not compatible with the 5.0 OTA.

Which modem? The modem I have posted here? If thats what you are talking about you havent any idea what you are talking about.
I have done exactly what ive posted here multiple times. Use any other modem other than this one and the ota will fail.
As far as why people are calling it the att modem confuses me as well.
The multi tool flashes a 55R while this modem flashes 57R.

I started this thread to return your XT1095 to stock unrooted, hence the title.
Since there are no factory images at the moment, I posted what worked for me.
Dont comment if you dont agree, but i assure you this method works just fine.

The modem included in the Multitool as I inferred. If you flashed back to stock or used the image from the multitool you get the invalid modem b00 error. After which you have to use the AT&T modem in order for the OTA to complete successfully.
the radio point is mute since graffixnyc posted the stock pure edition modem on his site. The modem image he posted is a direct backup from his brand new Pure Edition

Correct, the modem I have linked was directly from graffix.
holy cow downloads from Mega are crawling for me. I heard a rumor from a friend of a friend that a certain OTA from an un-said company for an un-said device is going out 'very soon' and I want to be 100% stock before it goes out. Just in case it's for the moto X.
can I ask how you got back to 100% stock? In your previous thread (TWRP Backup of Lollipop) you mentioned that you couldn't do a backup of stock. I guess I just want to know that your stock backup of 4.4.4 isn't an un-rooted 4.4.4. I'm looking for never-been-rooted 4.4.4.
got this to work last night.
working great! sideloaded the ota!
flashed the modem after sideloading the ota.
Official factory image is now available from Motorola! https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

My 4.4.4 was rooted, and I just experimented with all the info that everyone was posting the day the 5.0 went live. I was able to unroot and flash a file that 0.0 had posted in the thread that graffix had started. Anyway long story short between that and experimenting with the recovery and modems I was able to get my 4.4.4 to take the OTA with no problems. Since the OTA checks file structure and recovery, modem, etc....I am assuming it is unrooted stock. The way I look at it, If the OTA will flash with my experiment, so should the actual release. That is just my logic anyway.
Thank you for putting this guide together. Everything worked flawlessly. Thank you.
Having a problem... I have an S5 Dev Edition for VZW and I'm having radio problems. I had a rescue .tar that would bring me back to stock, rooted NCG, which was the only ROM i was able to get a cellular signal. Since upgrading to NK2 stock firmware (aboot.mbn deleted after i backed up my aboot) I have not been able to obtain a 4G signal (3G only) on ANY ROM. I want to downgrade BACK to my NCG rescue file and start over, but when I flash it now, it hangs at the Samsung splash screen. Is there something special I'm supposed to know (or do) in order to downgrade from NK2 to NCG? I'm ready to go ahead and flash a stock .tar (since I've got a backup of my unlocked aboot) but this is my last ditch effort to avoid that. PLEASE HELP!
So, I wanted to flash a custom ROM like Revolution S5 which runs on 5.1.1 but I was told to flash Lollipop BL and Modem, so I used Odin 3.11.1 and used the BL and CP option to flash the bootloader and the modem at the same time. But when I booted up the device it showed the marshmallow boot animation but never booted up. So, the biggest problem here is there isn't a 6.0.1 firmware for Wind Mobile that isn't on that bs rapidgator site so I can try to fix it. Does anyone have it?
Just to clarify:
Not hard bricked: Can enter recovery and download.
Yes, I tried restoring a nandroid backup to no avail.
So, I modified stock flashing instructions to exclude the modem wipes and booted just fine into the fastboot stock ROM with everything intact - cell signal, IMEI, and 4G. I took an OTA thinking everything was okay, but boom - suddenly I have no cellular signal.
Do the OTAs update my modem or something? And can I accept OTA updates after restoring a backup of my EFS?
Thank for any help anyone can provide.
Any ota has the commands "erasemodemst", this is why I have been stuck on custom ROMs. If you restore your efs or IMEI, it makes no difference, any update erases these partitions, why they no longer stick is beyond me.
I flashed my TMO to 9.0.6 - I noticed much slower download speeds, so I flashed my tmo modem a/b.
My phone boots to my home screen for a few secounds then reboots into recovery. I am assuming I need to goback to the intl modems or flash my phone back to stock.
you will need to flash your phone back to stock using MSMtool for the TMO version. Modem partitions are signed by TMO and cannot be changed... yet
