[Q] XT-1050 safe flash and roms

[chapat5]

Hi everyone, I recently got a moto x and the reason I bought it was because motorola announced that it was going to recieve lollipop 5.1 so, specs/value was great for me and unfortunatly without an extensive research I bought the version from the title xt1050, as you may know it can't unlock the bl via motorola web site and it didn't recieve the OTA from 5.1 yet. So after recieving one OTA (4.4.2) I checked with sunshine and it's compatible. Before spending another $25 I wanted to be sure.. I've been reading a lot of this forum and I couldn't find the answer to this questions.

Which ROMs can I flash without harming my device? I mean, can I flash roms from the xt1058 or xt1060? The last one has the same FCC id so, what does that mean?
Considerations to avoid a hard brick? I've read a lot about not downgrading the bootloader so I was thinking to follow this thread to get 5.1:

Another thing it's bugging me is that I only get about an hour and a half or two with luck of screen time through a day running stock, batery life it's really that bad or 4.4.2 has some nasty bug that I'm not aware?

Thats all for now guys, I'm sure I will ask some more questions later, I really don't wanna mess up this phone.
English it's not my first language so I apologise for any mistake.

I was able to unlock the bootloader on my Moto X XT1050 using the Motorola website. I have flashed my phone with the XT1060 4.4.4 rom and currently use it on Verizon.

It turns out you where right I must messed something up the first time I tried because I couldn't get my code to unlock the bootloader, you sir just saved me 25 bucks. So, thank you for that.
Now that I've my bootloader unlocked I have another questions, I've read that I can flash any rom if I flash the radios before and it should work the problem is that I found a post about how to get this files but is from a sbf file, and that is a problem because it seems that all links with the 4.4.2 xt1050 sbf are down. You flashed the xt1060 rom without flashing the xt1050 radios, didn't you? Are both lte and cmda working ok?
