Hi
I have a sprint moto x, a Sim card from at&t and my devices MSL from Sprint. How do I use the msl to unlock the device. I.e a dial code or something?
Thanks

Dial ##3424# thn enter 6 digit MSL code, but it'll not unlocked ur phone to GSM. i think you have to call Sprint , they will do it remotely.
That code just seems to open a diagnostic mode and never requires the MSL. I have tried ##data#
##diag#
##msl#
And several other ##codes but can't seem to find a way to get an iccid unlock. What would sprint do from their end to unlock the device?

This might be a dumb question, but if you're rooted does it unlock the sim? If not, is it easy to unlock it? Just curious. Thanks

No. These are 2 different things...the sim lock you are talking about is lower level inside the phone and is called a subsidy lock.
It usually only requires a code. You send in your phone IMEI number and the website/provider sends back an unlock code. When you pop in another sim, the phone prompts you for this code.
You can find many unlock services online for 10 to 20 USD.

Can your carrier tell if you've unlocked your phone?

If you have it unlocked by somebody else, no.
I have heard of carriers blacklisting IMEIs that are stolen, etc. But never heard of unlock blocks...
Why would they care?you own the phone and are still a customer...

Is there a way to sim unlock without a physical sim card? such as with a code that brings up the unlock window?

Sorry I don't have an answer to that. But I figured I'd mention that after I bought the unlock code on ebay and put in a foreign sim card, there never was a popup window asking for a code. It just was unlocked and I never even entered the code.
From my understanding there is a way for sprint Ones. The method is difficult and was abandoned. Unfortunately we don't know what exactly is need to be done because each carrier model will probably need a different method.

Has anyone gotten the dev edition to work on straight talk ? When I insert my straight talk sim it does not seem to register on the network...
But when I checked this straight talk site and enter my ImEI it says my device should work ?

GSM dev edition, or verizon?? I had 2 GSM dev editions, both worked fine. Check your APN settings, make sure you have the newest ones if you have a newer SIM.
Sim unlock prompts only show up when another carriers simcard is inserted, is there another way or terminal command?
I have the unlock code, but only have my AT&T sim. I was wondering if there was another way to simunlock the phone besides the tradtional method.
What is exactly your problem? What did you try to solve this problem? What changed since the problem arised and before that? If you provided any of this information that is neccesary, I could try to help out
Not a problem, just mostly a question.
Is the only way to SIM unlock a phone the traditional way of "I must insert another carriers SIM"?
Is there a particular app that I can manually run or a terminal command I can enter that would ask for the code?
I don't have another simcard so that's why I'm curious

If your phone is AT&T and so is your sim card. You are not going to get the unlock prompt. Buy yourself a PAYG sim card,( not ATT&T ).. they are cheap and might even come free.. Insert it into your phone and enter the unlock code.

Well, first, I would suspect a sim problem. You don't even need an APN for calls and text to work - they work immediately if your sim is valid, recognized, and activated.
APNs are only required to get data working.
You should check that your sim is inserted correctly and look in settings > about phone > status. Make sure your sim ID is listed under ICCID. If it isn't, your sim isn't being recognized. Aside from that, contact your carrier and make sure your account is active and the appropriate sim is on your account.
EDIT: Also, remember that all AT&T Moto X variants are SIM-LOCKED. You cannot use a non-AT&T sim in them without unlocking them first!
If you haven't unlocked the phone, it will never work on T-Mobile. You can purchase an unlock code from one of the many online gsm-unlock code sellers.
I don't get that option

All AT&T Moto X's should have ICCID listed in Settings > About Phone > Status
It's near the bottom.
Anyways, did you read the bottom edit to my post? Your problem is almost definitely that your phone is SIM-LOCKED to AT&T. All AT&T Moto X's come sim-locked. You can't use them on another carrier until you unlock them.....
I was told by a retail store it was unlocked

Sorry bud, If you are sure your phone is unlocked, and you don't get prompted for an unlock code in the UICC unlock menu, all I can suggest is to contact your carrier. I don't have any more ideas for you. Maybe another member will.
