The Moto X is getting a lot of love these days. Its Verizon variant is expected to arrive this September 26 and the Moto Maker site became available in the UK, Germany, and France a couple of weeks ago. Motorola is even all out with the promotion of the new Android smartphone, releasing three new Moto X ads on YouTube at once and four new apps on the Google Play Store. Pre-order started only last week and those with .edu email are given Moto X discounts. All these news make this new-gen phone a highly anticipated one.
But for the original Moto X, it’s not easily forgotten even if the new model is here. T-Mobile is bringing an Android 4.4.4 update to the first Moto X. Yep, your old Moto X from T-Mobile is finally getting the very latest Android release. The carrier is last to bring this software update after AT&T, and Verizon rolled out their updates. This is good news but a bit ironic since Motorola directly controls the T-Mobile version of Moto X.
Moto X owners have started to see the update last week. All T-Mobile Moto X phones could be receiving the version in the next few days. Software update version is 213.44.1.

Being european i had a hard time understanding what a “T-Mobile Moto X” is. After i learned, that it is the same device with a tampered firmware, a second quesion pops-up. Who in the world buys that ? Can’t you guys just get the real thing and put your SIM card in that ? Isn’t that what should be done in the land of the free ?
There is no T-Mobile Moto X. AC here is just reposting misreported news from another source.
In the USA, we have branded Moto X models for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. There’s also two XT1052 models listed as sim-unlocked and developer edition. These work on many GSM carriers, but some outlets misreport this as the T-Mobile model. It’s not. This update is entirely independent of T-Mobile.
