Crucial Warning: This page lists 7 representative builds out of 48 known files across seven model numbers — match your exact model AND branch tag before flashing. XT1058 alone spans more than a dozen non-interchangeable Latin American branches plus AT&T, and a full flash on this device can format internal storage, not just the usual userdata partition.

Two UK-tagged builds for the cid7 group (O2-GB, RETGB) are covered separately on firmwarefile.uk.
↓ DownloadXT1053 also ships as NII/Nextel Mexico builds — see the full archive if that's your branch.
↓ DownloadXT1058 also ships across a dozen-plus Latin American carrier branches (TEF*, AMX*, NII*, RETBR, TIMBR, RCICA, PERAR, OIBR) — see the full archive for the exact one.
↓ DownloadCompatibility & Bootloader Notes
A stock mfastboot flash restores system, boot, and radio images only — it does not itself lock or unlock the bootloader. That's a separate, optional step via Motorola's official unlock-token process and is not required just to reflash stock firmware.
Preparation checklist for Motorola Moto X 2013 (ghost)
- Confirm the exact model number (XT1049/XT1052/XT1053/XT1055/XT1056/XT1058/XT1060) from Settings > About phone.
- Note the carrier/branch tag on the fastboot screen before downloading — it must match the package exactly.
- Install the Motorola USB drivers and either the mfastboot binary or RSD Lite 6.1.5+.
- Back up accessible files — a full flash on this device can format internal storage.
- Charge to at least 30% — this device has a non-removable battery, so a mid-flash power loss carries more risk.
How to Flash Motorola Moto X 2013 (ghost)
mfastboot with CFC.xml package (recommended for most users)
- Before downloading anything, confirm both your exact model number and carrier/branch tag from Settings > About phone or the fastboot screen — for example XT1058_GHOST_ATT for an AT&T unit, or XT1055_Ghost_USC for U.S. Cellular, as listed in the downloads above. XT1058 in particular spans a dozen-plus non-interchangeable Latin American branches, so the branch tag matters as much as the model number.
- Back up any accessible files first — a full flash on this device generation can format internal storage, not just wipe the usual userdata partition.
- Install the Motorola USB drivers and the mfastboot binary, then power the device off completely and hold Volume Down + Power together until the bootloader/fastboot screen appears. Connect it via USB.
- From the extracted CFC.xml package's folder, run its flash script with mfastboot (not stock Android SDK fastboot — it doesn't recognize several of the OEM commands these scripts issue).
- If you'd rather use RSD Lite instead of the mfastboot script, note that some of this device's packages need one XML line deleted first before RSD Lite will accept them — see FlashGuideHub's full guide for that exact fix rather than guessing at it here.
- Let the script run to completion without disconnecting, then confirm the Android version and IMEI/signal under Settings > About phone once it reboots.
Manual Fastboot (Partition-by-Partition)
- An advanced alternate to the full mfastboot script, useful if the script itself won't run on your OS. Extract the same CFC.xml package and identify the individual images inside it — boot.img, system.img, and the radio/modem image.
- Boot into the bootloader/fastboot screen (Volume Down + Power) and confirm the device is detected with fastboot devices.
- Flash each partition individually with standard fastboot — for example fastboot flash boot boot.img, then fastboot flash system system.img — using images from the same branch-matched package confirmed above.
- Reboot with fastboot reboot once every partition you need has been flashed.
Frequently Asked Questions
There's no single generic build to default to on this device — every row in the table above is tied to a specific carrier or region. Check your exact model number and the branch tag on the fastboot screen first, then match both against the downloads above before picking anything.
No — mfastboot with the CFC.xml script is the standard path for every build in this archive. RSD Lite is only a fallback, and it needs one XML line removed from some packages first; FlashGuideHub's full guide covers that fix in detail.
XT1058 was sold across AT&T plus more than a dozen separate Telefónica/Movistar and Claro/América Móvil country branches in Latin America, each with its own radio provisioning. That's why the full archive lists so many XT1058 rows individually rather than one combined build.
