About the Motorola Moto X 2014
The Motorola Moto X 2014 (filename codename tag: victara) is Motorola's second-generation flagship, released in September 2014, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC) chipset. Motorola distributed it across eight model numbers, each tied to a specific carrier or regional branch.
Every build in this archive is a CFC.xml service package flashed with Motorola's mfastboot binary — there is no EDL-mode package for this device in the source archive. The Prerequisites and Firmware Package sections below explain how to identify your exact variant before you begin.
Which Flash Mode Should You Use?
mfastboot (CFC.xml Package)
The standard method for every victara build in this archive. Runs the CFC.xml package's flash script with Motorola's mfastboot binary, writing system, boot, and radio images in sequence. Erases all user data.
Manual Fastboot (Partition-by-Partition)
An advanced alternate using the individual partition images (boot.img, system.img, and the radio/modem image) inside the same extracted CFC.xml package, flashed one at a time with standard fastboot. Useful if the mfastboot script itself won't run on your OS. Erases all user data on a full reflash.
EDL / QFIL (Not Applicable)
This device's Snapdragon 801 chipset is EDL-capable in principle, but no EDL-mode package exists in this archive — every known victara file is a CFC.xml mfastboot package. QFIL/EDL would only apply for recovering a hard-bricked unit with no fastboot access, which requires a Qualcomm EDL service package not currently listed here.
What You Need Before Flashing
Motorola's mfastboot binary and USB drivers are built for Windows; install the Motorola USB drivers before connecting the phone.
Download the CFC.xml package that matches your exact XT model number and carrier/branch tag. Confirm in Settings → About Phone → Model Number. A mismatched branch's radio provisioning can affect network registration if flashed.
A data-capable USB cable is essential — charge-only cables will not be recognized by mfastboot. Use the original Motorola cable where possible, and connect directly to a USB 2.0 port rather than a hub.
The mfastboot script writes several partitions in sequence over a few minutes. This device has a non-removable battery, so a mid-flash power interruption carries more risk than on removable-battery hardware — charge to at least 30% first.
The mfastboot CFC.xml flow wipes user data. Back up photos to Google Photos, contacts to Google Contacts, and any local files to a PC before beginning.
How to Flash the Motorola Moto X 2014 — Quick Overview
A quick 6-step overview built specifically for the Motorola Moto X 2014. The full Motorola flashfile.bat / CFC XML Script guide adds screenshots, progress tracking, and fixes for common errors.
-
Identify your exact XT variant and carrier branch
-
Install the Motorola USB drivers and the mfastboot binary
-
Download the CFC.xml package matching your XT number + branch
-
Boot to the bootloader and flash with mfastboot
-
Wait for the script to finish, then boot
-
Confirm IMEI/network on first boot
Finding the Firmware Package for
Every victara CFC.xml package extracts to a top-level CFC.xml file (some builds also ship the identical script as flashfile.xml) alongside a servicefile.xml and the individual partition images — boot.img, system.img, the radio/modem image, and so on — that mfastboot flashes in sequence. There is no scatter file here; that format is MediaTek-specific and does not apply to this Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 device. Fully extract the archive to its own folder on your PC before running anything — mfastboot needs to read the CFC.xml script and the partition images directly from disk, not from inside a compressed archive.

Common Errors on the Motorola Moto X 2014
mfastboot: "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" or the script exits immediately
Confirm you're running Motorola's mfastboot binary from the same folder the CFC.xml package extracted into, not a stock Android SDK platform-tools fastboot.exe. Standard fastboot does not recognize several of the OEM commands Motorola's CFC.xml scripts issue.
Device not detected / mfastboot devices returns nothing
Power the phone off completely, then hold Volume Down + Power to boot straight to the bootloader/fastboot screen before connecting USB. Confirm the Motorola USB driver is installed and the phone shows up in Device Manager. Use a data-capable USB cable and a USB 2.0 port directly on the motherboard rather than a hub.
Script completes but device won't boot past the Motorola logo
An interrupted or mismatched-branch flash can leave a partition inconsistent. Re-run the full CFC.xml script from scratch with the exact package matching your XT number and branch tag — don't assume a partial re-flash of just one partition will fix it.
No signal / wrong IMEI after flashing
Usually caused by flashing a branch-mismatched CFC.xml package — each branch carries its own radio provisioning. Re-flash using the exact package matching your XT number and branch tag from the firmware table below.

Frequently Asked Questions — Motorola Moto X 2014
Not necessarily. A stall or mid-script error usually means a driver or cable issue, not a bricked device — as long as the phone still shows the bootloader/fastboot screen when powered on, it can be re-flashed. Reconnect, confirm mfastboot devices lists the phone, and re-run the same CFC.xml script from the start rather than trying to resume partway through.
XT1097 ships across more than a dozen non-interchangeable Latin American carrier branches plus AT&T. A signature/model mismatch during the mfastboot script almost always means the branch tag in the package (TEF*, RET*, NII*, AMX*, ATT) doesn't match the branch already provisioned on the device — re-check the exact tag on the fastboot screen against the filename before retrying.
No — reflashing the stock CFC.xml package over mfastboot does not itself require an unlocked bootloader, since it writes the same signed images Motorola ships. An unlock is only needed if you're installing a custom recovery or ROM afterward, which is outside the scope of this stock-firmware guide.
