i bought a south american XT1053 on ebay assuming i could unlock the bootloader. when i got it, it had a nextel sim card ready to be installed. got an at&t one from my carrier and it's on LTE but motorola does not allow unlocking the bootloader. back on ebay it goes...
while i have it i'm happy to look into the bands, though i'd imagine it's the same as the t-mobile xt1053 and the gsm dev edition.
Very strange. According to motorola site all Latin America models have unlockable bootloader. Can you please check supported bands?

How do I check supported bands? All I can find in Settings is that I seem to currently be on LTE band 13.
Yeah, that page might imply all of Latin America can unlock their bootloaders but I certainly can't. Got my OEM unlock code via fastboot, and the unlock site says my device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking. The box it came in clearly says XT1053. The label is in spanish. The SIM card says Nextel. In settings it shows the System version is 139.7.30.ghost_row.NII.en.MX. I think NII is basically Nextel (NII also shows up the motorola site as the carrier for the device it sees I have), a carrier in Mexico.

Maybe my situation is a fluke. Maybe something funky with this device but it sure looks like a regular Mexico Nextel device. The box, it's contents and the device all point to a carrier unlocked Mexico Nextel Moto X. Works fine on AT&T LTE but since I can't unlock the bootloader, the only benefit to me is the lack of carrier branding. FWIW I got mine on ebay from http://www.ebay.com/usr/marisolmachado and he was a great seller. Exactly as described, quick shipping, responsive to all of my questions. Just can't unlock the bootloader (which I didn't ask them about).
Does anybody else have this version?

Whoa! I just bought the same phone from the same seller! I checked to see his previous auction and it was yours!
I wonder if mine is the same as yours. My system version is 139.7.30.ghost_row.NII.en.MX
No idea what that means. Sure as heck hope we can unlock the bootloader on these. Yeah, he was a great seller, I got mine in two days.
-Collin-
This seller also sells Nextel model. Be aware
Just wanted to add that I just checked and mine is not bootloader unlockable either. I have the same Nextel version as the previous poster. This is very unfortunate and now I question whether we will see the camera update. Or when. Darn, had high hopes for this one.
-Collin-
Just a thought...I tried unlocking the bootloader many times and the motorola site told me I could not...after searching, someone here said that you can't even have spaces in the unlock code...so be very sure that you paste all the numbers and to not leave spaces after them as I did and unlocked fine. BTW I tried like 3 times before and the 4th time I didn't paste the numbers, I just did it manually. Hope that helps.

I found an XT1053 on eBay with a spanish user manual. Bought it assuming the bootloader would be unlockable on the motorola site but I was wrong. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 lists the supported devices but "Latin America" doesn't get too specific.
Anyone know how we can determine which devices can be bootloader unlocked? I'd hate to go through this again. Maybe I should have just spent the extra $100 for a t-mobile version... I sure do like the lack of carrier branding on this device.
A better way to answer would be:
All but Verizon and AT&T.

Sadly, it's not that simple. This is not an AT&T (XT1058) or Verizon (XT1060) but an XT1053. I believe it's a Nextel Moto X. It has a spanish manual, defaulted to spanish when setting it up, has an unused SIM card that says Nextel.
It was not able to be bootloader unlocked on the motorola site.

Cool. I thought I saw it with a T-Mobile logo on the back somewhere online but I could certainly be mistaken. There are no carrier apps installed on the T-Mobile version?
I think I'll just resell this one and buy the tmo or dev edition new straight from Motorola. Don't want to mess with eBay over and over trying to get one whose bootloader can be unlocked. I thought it was "not AT&T or Verizon" too but now I see that's not the case and it may just be a north american-centric view of the situation...

double check, but I'm 99% sure. they weren't even selling it in stores or on their own website as far as I know. no physical branding or software I'm pretty sure.
Thinking about the Moto X, the GSM edition, not the developer edition because I understand the developer version comes in white back and black front. I want all white Moto X. So because I am not getting the developer edition can I still unlock the bootloader??? I tried checking before asking this and could not find the answer.
Thanks, Vinny

it depends.
if you buy the t-mobile one on motorola.com its unlockable. if you get the at&t one it is not unlockable.
if you buy a rogers canada one its unlockable. if you buy a telcel or claro latin america unit they are unlockable. if you buy a mexico nextel GSM one it is not unlockable (some people are holding out hope that its a mistake and will have its IMEIs added to the unlock list..).

Well, it's not a "no." Like the poster said above, it depends on your carrier. VZW and ATT are a no go.
I have a Latin America Moto X (Movistar Chile), but when I try to unlock the bootloader, the Motorola Page throws me "your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking"

Carrier needs to provide Motorola with the OK to allow the unlocking the bootloader, obviously Fido hasn't given them the OK, see if you can return it and pick up the rogers version at full price and use your Fido Sim card,you shouldn't have to Sim unlock as we all know Rogers is Fido's parent company

Okay well my phone is on contract. Im pretty sure the Rogers and Fido phone are the exact same. I don't think they would trade mine in for a rogers. Is there any other way to unlock the boot loader? Will there be one in the future?
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
Basically the problem is some carriers are not giving their imei lists to Motorola to have those phones in the unlock program. Thats probably why there are some Latin America units that can't unlock

Being Fido makes no difference, it runs the Rogers firmware and is unlockable. Its looking like several people have tried to unlock bootloaders today(including me) and the Motorola website has said they are not eligible. So my conclusion at this point is that the backend server that handles the codes is down/broken.

If the carrier doesn't want Moto to let you unlock, you can't. Motorola's web site for unlocking will tell you your device doesn't qualify and there is nothing you can do.
Moto's web site does list some information on carriers and which can be unlocked. See -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215
As far as which motos that can not be unlocked 2 are unable, Verizon and AT&T consumer versions, all other motos have the unlockable boot loader to date.
If you have attempted to unlock and get ineligible, then your imei has not yet been entered into motos system. When calling the "not the Sharpe's knifes in the drawer" folks at moto, please establish what you wish to unlock your BOOT LOADER not SIM UNLOCKED because they normally ASSume the sim

The off contract, GSM unlocked phone has nothing to do with carrier's wishes. I have this phone with an activated TMO sim and it is not eligible for unlock, period. This is sold directly by Motorola and is supplied with a TMO sim. TMO has no issue with bootloader unlocks, so it's not the carrier - this model is not bootloader unlockable.

Been there, done that. I was told by Moto that my off contract, unlocked full price GSM Moto X shipped with the Tmobile sim is not bootloader unlockable. The two people I spoke with fully understood the difference between sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked, and also knew that bootloader unlocking automatically voids the warranty except on the Developer version.

Update: Moto just sent me a note saying that their system may not be updated with my IMEI yet, but once it is, the warranty is automatically and uncategorically voided when I apply for the unlock code. Since it's the 32GB version, I'll still RMA it and get the Developer version instead. It's the exact same money and unlocking the developer version does not void the warranty.

I am looking to get a Moto X to be used with any GSM carrier in the US and Europe.
(I don't want to root it)
Do I need to buy the Developer Edition or can I also get the No-Contract T-Mobile one (customizable via motomaker)?
Thanks in advance!
The T-mobile is unlocked and good to go, no need to buy the developer edition.

Are you absolutely sure about this? Do you know it for a fact, or have you just read it somewhere?
I contacted Motorola today, to verify that the t-mobile off-contract version indeed was sim-unlocked, but they replied that it WAS sim-locked, and also was carrying the t-mobile logo on the back.
I think it's really hard to figure out who to believe, since many are reporting that it comes sim-unlocked, but wouldn't Motorola be the one to know for sure?

I can't verify whether it's SIM locked or not but I have one in my hand and the T-Mobile XT1053 does not have any branding on it. There is no logo on it. There are no T-Mo apps on it either.
It's unlocked. Using it with prepaid at&t.

The only thread I see is for the Sprint version. Is there a thread for the XT1053? I am using Consumer Cellular (uses the ATT network.)
Will be traveling to Canada next month and would like to have the phone available if the cost is reasonable (Consumer Cellular advises to leave the phone off when out of the country due to high roaming costs, $1-$3/minute). Are the Ebay providers typically reliable?

Is there any "fine print" at the bottom on the back? If so, that would say the model number. As @samwathegreat said, every XT1053 we've seen so far has been SIM UNlocked right out of the box.
And if your carrier is using ATT's network, are you sure its not an XT1058? If its an XT1058 then, yes its likely sim locked. In that case either your carrier would need to give you the SIM unlock code (aka network unlock), or you'd have to buy it from a 3rd party seller.
(The XT1058 supports one or two LTE frequencies that ATT uses which the XT1053 doesn't).

Don't select the Verizon version from the Google Store even if you are using Verizon or the BL will not unlock. In addition, I ordered mine from Amazon and was also able to BL unlock immediately. Attempting to save $$ and buy from ebay or swappa will likely be a frustrating proposition as the model number cannot be used to indicate BL unlock capability. See this thread.
There should be a sticky that's just for Verizon that states bootloader can't be unlocked. Maybe that'll stop all these repeating Verizon bootloader unlock threads
