Download AT&T Moto X Android 4.4.4 OTA Update

AT&T MOTO X ANDROID 4.4.4 OTA UPDATE

Before you begin with the instructions below, make sure your android device is adequately charged — at least 50% battery of the device.

STEP 0: CHECK DEVICE MODEL NO.

To make sure your device is eligible with this, you must first confirm its model no. in ‘About device’ option under Settings. Another way to confirm model no. is by looking for it on the packaging box of your device. It must be XT1058!

Do not use the procedures discussed here on any other Moto X (including the Moto X variant at Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular, T-Mobile and other International variants) or any other device of Motorola or any other company. You have been warned!

STEP 1: BACKUP YOUR DEVICE

Back up important data and stuff before you start playing around here as there are chances you might lose your apps and app-data (app settings, game progress, etc.), and in rare case, files on the internal memory, too.

STEP 2: YOU MUST HAVE STOCK RECOVERY INSTALLED

Skip this step, if you’re already on a stock firmware with no custom recovery and root access.

It’s required that you are unrooted, and don’t have a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) installed. And no custom firmwares, either.

So, it’s mandatory that you first go back to a stock firmware on your AT&T Moto X, using the firmware version 165.44.1. Download the firmware from the link below and flash it using the installation guide (also linked below)
