Compatibility & 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 2014 (victara)
  • Confirm the exact model number (XT1085/XT1092/XT1093/XT1094/XT1095/XT1096/XT1097) 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 the mfastboot binary (not stock Android SDK fastboot).
  • Back up accessible user data before flashing — mfastboot wipes userdata.
  • 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 2014 (victara)

mfastboot with CFC.xml package (recommended for most users)

  1. Install the Motorola USB drivers and a mfastboot binary on a Windows PC, then extract the CFC.xml package matching your exact model number and carrier/branch tag — for example XT1096_VICTARA_VERIZON for a Verizon unit, or XT1097_VICTARA_RETLA for a generic Latin America unit, as listed in the downloads above.
  2. Back up any accessible user data first — the mfastboot script wipes userdata as part of a full flash.
  3. Power the device off completely, then hold Volume Down + Power together until the bootloader/fastboot screen appears. Connect it via USB.
  4. From the extracted folder, run the CFC.xml package's flash script with mfastboot (not stock Android SDK fastboot — it doesn't recognize several of the OEM commands these scripts issue).
  5. If you're working with an XT1097 unit specifically, double-check the branch tag (TEF*, RET*, NII*, AMX*, or ATT) in the filename matches what's already provisioned on the device — a mismatch is the most common cause of a signature or model-mismatch failure on this model number.
  6. Let the script run to completion without disconnecting — this device's non-removable battery means a mid-flash power loss carries more risk than on removable-battery hardware, so keep it plugged in and charged above 30% beforehand.
  7. Once the script finishes and the phone reboots, confirm the Android version and IMEI/signal under Settings > About phone.

Manual Fastboot (Partition-by-Partition)

  1. 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.
  2. Boot into the bootloader/fastboot screen (Volume Down + Power) and confirm the device is detected with fastboot devices.
  3. 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.
  4. Reboot with fastboot reboot once every partition you need has been flashed.
