Thank you, I have the same operator code so it looks like they will all be the same, I was hoping it was assgnied by the sim card and would be unique to each device. Back to looking

310120 is Sprint.
That's why in data it says Sprint GSM under the GSM section.

Hi guys, i plan on buying a droid 4 on ebay. it is not unlocked. and i was really need help to get it working with Rogers in Canada.
can someone please list out the steps from unlocking, root and flash to ICS?
I'm coming from galaxy nexus and it was pretty much a one step thing. but the droid 4 seems a little more complicated after some research. like what is a safestrap??
any help would be appreciated!
thanks in advance *cheers*
well someone should probably give you the bad news... droid 4 has a locked bootloader
You don't need to "unlock, root and flash" ICS, you can just install the leaked ICS from the factory stock recovery.
The leaked ICS enables the global capabilities but beyond that I can't provide you much info.....
Also, flashing the leaked ICS is irreversible, though you can move forward as new(er) leaks are found and most likely up to the eventual OTA upgrade as well.
The leaks are designed to upgrade the stock phone.

the bootloader has nothing to do with unlocking the device on other networks.

So what do I have to do for the phone to work with rogers? Cuz the seller specifically said I need to unlock it for it to work with rogers.
There was a couple of post a few months back regarding Rogers pretty sure about how to get it working n what not just scroll through the post and find what you need...

I think what the seller may have been referring to is the SIM card. If I understand it right, the D4 works on the Verizon network with that SIM card. You have to either get a new SIM that is specifically for Rodgers, or you need to unlock the Verizon SIM card, and then it can work on anything. Sorry, I don't know how to go about doing it specifically for rodgers, but you should be able to search xda for the procedure for unlocking the SIM card. Good Luck!
If I have helped, please hit the "thanks!" button!

I am on Rogers with this phone. I also figured out how to do tethering with it. Check my older posts and look up Rogers. So far, the only thing that is annoying is that it says unknown sim card when out starts up, and call forwarding doesn't work

Thank you for any advice in advance.
Hey mate . Try here and you'll get a code to unlock your device. They are pretty cheap too. You can check other sites as well, but that site gave me the right subsidy code . Cheers

Thank you for the reply I have already used another website which sent me two codes and neither of them worked.
Is this one a reliable source?

I tired the site the user below has linked for you but the codes they sent me did not work. They sent me two codes, both of which were
8 digits long. Non of them worked. I payed with paypal so hoping to get my money back.
I have been emailing them and they requested I make a video and upload it so they can see that it does not work.
So i uploaded a video showing them. They email me back and tell me the codes should work. I then replied saying they obviously don't.
And now waiting for a reply from them...not sure that will happen...let me know how you get on if you have done used them already

Flashing a new rom will not remove the subsidy lock and from what I know there is a limited number of tries for entering the network unlock code (subsidy) so is possible u lock your phone forever

Hi king wolf. Yes I would say cellunlocker.net is a reliable website. My phone has been working fine on vodafone for the last few days now.
So, the carrier locked versions can be bootloader unlocked?
Two things that have kept me from trying to snag any of the T-Mobile/Orange ones on eBay (which are cheaper than the unlocked ones) are the limited success in SIM unlocking and the uncertainty about bootloader unlocking. It sounds like cellunlocker can eventually figure out the code to SIM unlock, but I'd rather not live with a locked bootloader again.

Unless you are planning on using development software on your device i think they is no need to unlock the bootloader. Cellunlocker will email you a 16 digit pin which will allow you to use any sim card in the device. If you wish to unlock the bootloader this can be done through the motorola website.
Not sure what you mean by development software, but I do plan to use custom ROMs, plus take advantage of the other benefits of rooting. I know the phone can be rooted without having the bootloader unlocked, but I don't think there's a SafeStrap for it, so we wouldn't be able to flash anything.
Some people seem to not have had luck unlocking the carrier locked versions through Motorola's website, which is why I asked.

Sorry I did mean custom ROMs etc for unlocking the bootloader. If it helps I had no problems unlocking my bootloader through motorola before I unlocked the sim through cellunlocker.

Hi,
i ordered the Code from cellunlocker, but it doesnt seem to work. They sent me an unlockcode like this: a524asafasf 123456 123456 w445ßsadf.
So should i use the numbers between the code (123456 123456), and if yes the complete 16 digits or only the first 8?

I have the same issue and I'm on try 4. Tried each code once as I got three sets of numbers and then the first two together no space and all fail. Gonna take it to a shop before I lock it out. Total pain.

An exploit is highly unlikely. The Moto X bootloader is extremely secure. You may be able to get unlocked through the china middleman - see that thread for details.

You can root it now - see the PIE thread. Unfortunately, this is a partial root - no write access to /system and no custom recovery. Root is lost upon reboot and must perform procedure again. Still useful for things like Xposed and WiFi Tether....
The better option is to try to unlock the bootloader. Since you are using at XT1058 (I'm guessing AT&T branded?) your only option is the china middleman.
Good Luck

If you were on the build ending with MI9 the region lock away trick unlocked the phone. Since you aren't on that build and its impossible to return to it, you have to pay for unlock. Or patiently wait for at&t to provide one.

I havent tried it but i believe once it detects the sim it will change itself. What you should do is install the sim turn the phone one. Let it boot up, and then reboot. should work. If for whatever the reason it doesnt fix it then you have to change the apn settings. But you should be ok.
