So I happened to be checking ebay to buy an AHD and i saw one that had no att logo or anything but the motorola logo on the front?
What do u guys know about this? Is it factory unlocked? Does it get software upgrades? From who? Android version? BL?
Thanks in advance guys!!

Maybe not factory unlocked, but a seller unlocked of the Bell (Canada) variant?

I know there is someone on this forum with the Bell variant, which obviously doesn't have the death star, most likely that is what this is.
Yeah, almost sure the phones without the branding from ebay are seller-unlocked bell-phones.
Is there any difference in software? What about updates?

it gets less updates... not worth the risk, i saw a guy on moto forum complaining they didnt get the 9/13 update
On a Bell HD right now.
Version : 77:55:18.
Pros :
-No branding
-Very quick to unlock. (less than 5 mins for $19)
-Can turn off LTE
-Usually can be rooted same time as AT&T
-Sometimes can be used on medianet unlimited plan
Cons :
-Slower to get updates (most times, but not always) This is a big one, but not an issue once the bootloader is unlocked.
That's all i can think of right now.

There is a way to turn off LTE on at&t phones, but it needs root.
So that was is only a temporary advantage...
Also I haven't seen any in white?
I have an unlocked Bell Atrix HD with no carrier branding. That is what the seller is selling. Im getting 4g/H+ on T-Mobile

Hi Gabe!
I too got my Atrix HD from "UniqueFlips". My (Bell) Atrix HD is now ROOTED and has an UNLOCKED bootloader. How did you Flash ATT software on your Bell Atrix HD? Where can I download the ATT software?
Thank you!

I suggest getting the unlock codes from Verizon first. Some unlock code have been changed by Verizon and cannot be obtained by third-party vendors.

I got my code on Ebay from UnlockFusion, it's only 4.05USD now and worked flawlessly.
Then use instructions and files in this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 to use the XT883 (chinese D3) radio and build.prop to unlock US GSM carriers.

Anyone using a Bell Atrix HD noticed an update yet? I bought mine on ebay unlocked and it is currently on 77.55.17.
Also, has anyone using the Bell Atrix been able to show what has been using the battery? I only get the amount of time that has passed since the last charge.
One more, can I still get an update even though I'm not using the Bell Canada service?
Thanks! This thing needs the update because the camera sucks
I'm using a Bell model on Telus. Same build number as well. I haven't figured out how to change the battery stats either.
Hopefully we well get an update soon.

Is Bell slower than AT&T when pushing out updates? Everyone harshly criticizes AT&T for their slow updates.

I don't know anything about that, but with the bootloader locked down, we are at Bells mercy, unfortunately.
I'm hoping for something soon as my battery life is extremely inconsistent. Okay one day and terrible the next.

Everybody has the one x, s3, or iPhone... I personally want my phone to be a great phone first of all. Good battery life, great radios, built well, decent storage. Since i couldn't afford the RAZR HD maxx, here i am. I'm pretty happy. Could always be better but for what I paid or didn't rather, im excited.
I traded my iphone 4s for this phone, this phone is much faster and the only thing the 4s beat this in is camera. Other than that, this is way better. I habe the maxx battery in my atrix

Ordered the maxx battery. But need some unlocked bootloader love.

not true. my bell AHD doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.
i think the only ones claiming to have an unlocked bootloader are the ones who bought sim-unlocked Bell AHDs online.
And those ones probably don't come from the proper Bell retail channels since they all should come locked.

Quite aware of that thank you very much! I was asking if anyone had called AT&T for the code so you know you could get it for free
But hey I guess no one bothered? So I guess I'll just do it myself.
They don't usually give out the code if your not under contract with them.

Hello! I have a question for the z1....
I'm looking to get a z1 but I am trying to get the right model to support the AT&T LTE network. I believe it's bands 17 and 4 that are mostly used which leaves me only the c6906 for only option (correct me if I'm wrong please).
The problem is I don't see anything for this model on the Sony store anywhere. How or where do I get one?
The current one listed on the Sony store is the c9602 I think. Would that still work?
Thanks again!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You should be fine. I have a C6906 and I'm using it on Straight Talk here in NY and getting 4G LTE
Sent from my C6906 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the heads up. So where did you get yours? I can't find it on the Sony store..... And does that mean the c6902 would pretty much be useless then?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yea I don't think the c6902 will with getting you 4G LTE. I was going to get the C6903 but thought I would be better off with the C6906 since it has all the bands baked in. Can't go wrong with that.
I was lucky to get mines on eBay from a seller in Miami. Brand new untouched! three seconds left on the auction. The others don't see it coming, bet they were all pissed! Lol

I got mine from Omega cell, They're selling the network unlocked Rogers version (C6906).
I got lucky, I bought it during their Black Friday sale + Discount code. (Double Bang!! )
My total including shipping was $690 (1 year warranty from Omegacell)
Reliable place to buy.
