Which is the t-mobile version? Cdma or gsm?
There are two android development forums. I am not sure which one i should download rom from and whats for the us t-mobile version.
I don't want to brick my tab by going to the incorrect forum for a rom.
Kindly let me know.
Cheers.
Assuming you're only interested in US networks, TMo and AT&T are GSM, and Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. Outside the US, it is almost all GSM.

So I'm about to go and meetup with someone to buy this phone, but I just realized there are a ton of different variants. I'm just finding out that her phone is locked to Rogers so it's probably the XT1058 that she has. My question is: Is there a way to get this phone and specific model to work on Wind Mobile (or Tmobile's 3g network)? The band for Wind Mobile is AWS 1700.

personally i wouldnt mess with trying to switch carriers with the phone.
The Rogers phone can be carrier unlocked. I have one, it's unlocked and working on telus, lte and all.
But, better do some searching, cause I thought I read somewhere that it won't work on wind. Maybe I'm wrong, but better look into it or you may be disappointed.

It works fine on wind. Had to sim unlock it, but that was it

OP, based on the replies here, if you have yet to go through with the purchase, be sure to read up on the complications of unlocking the device for other carriers before making the decision that this phone is for you.

A Rogers XT1058 will not work on Wind, it does not support HSPA on the 1700/2100 Mhz frequency band.
To the OP, you need an XT1053 model of the Moto X to use it with Wind Mobile.
The XT1053 is not sold in Canada, it is sold in the US as the retail/tmobile/gsm dev edition.
Unlocking a Rogers XT1058 is easy and less then 10 bucks but it still won't enable the AWS bands for HSPA. It will only work on Telus, Koodo, Bell, Virgin, Rogers and Fido.
Yup ^^^
That's about what I read. And most unlocked phones I looked at before buying my Moto X said work on all carriers.. Except wind. Not just the Moto x either... The G2 was another for sure.

Hello.
I live in a counntry with both GSM and 4G LTE networks. Reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/help/virgin-mobile-htc-desire-510-gsm-t2965839 for the efforts of unblocking GSM bands thre is something I don't understand. If I buy the Sprint version of the phone, it is posible for me to use it outside USA with a 4G LTE capable SIM without having to unblock GSM Bands? Or do I need to have CDMA support in my country to be able to use the phone?
Thanks.
You would need a CDMA network; it's not working on GSM networks!

You could try getting the Cricket or Telus version of the device as they are GSM.

The thing is, where I live, people are selling this phone very cheap (less than half the price) becasuse isn't posible to unlock it on gsm at the moment.
Did it work for you ?
Did it work for you ? cause I have the exactly the same problem with my device and I don't even know what to do till now
I am thinking about purchasing an unlocked T-Mobile g4 for at&t network. From what I understand, I wont get all the bands, but I will have enough that signal including LTE, should not be a major issue. I was wondering if anyone here has tried this before?
