Guys,
I have a question. I am in the market for upgrading my Motorola Photon. Its right timing for Motorola to launch Moto X. I am currently with Sprint but I may switch to Straight Talk soon.
If I buy Off contract Moto X on Sprint, can I use it on Stright Talk?
Thank you.
No.

Why not? Doesn't the Moto X support LTE bands that AT&T and Straight Talk uses? It also has SIM card slot right?
Anybody here who can help?

Not LTE, just HSPA+. It will work fine, just not with LTE.

Does anyone know how the sim lock actually works? I have bought new Sprint Moto X recently from ebay. I live in Europe and the phone wasn't activated yet. I can't use any local sim, but what's strange is that I have called to Sprint support and don't have my phone's IMEI in their DB, so I suspect that the lock is just a software lock on the phone itself. Is there any chance that the lock can be bypassed by flashing a different ROM?
Any update on this? Thank you
I keep searching, but can't find anything. Is there a site that I can buy the code from or is it even GSM capable in the country?

I just called and spoke to the International services people. They waived the 90-day requirement for me, and unlocked the phone. Haven't tested it yet, though.

HI dev ,

Thanks.
Sorry.. as far as I know .. no solutions yet .

No man can hack it, what a pity!
Unlocking the phone for use with GSM Sim without Sprint service is not possible as Moto only releases the codes to the specific carrier and Sprint will not give it to you.
If you do get it unlocked, it will not work in the US on a GSM network ie: T-Mobile or ATT. They're hardware restricted from working on local GSM networks p/fca allowances. I have seen a few devices like some black Berry's work locally after being unlocked but they are few and far between.

I have rooted one Phone.
Thanks.
Has anyone had any problems, or even gotten an unlocked Moto X on MetroPCS? I searched everywhere, but couldn't find anything. I know that Metro has your own BYOD program in DFW and other cities, but is that ONLY for their phones that are listed? Any info on the subject would be much appreciated.

Metro pcs is part of t Mobile now. If you bring over an unlocked gsm device I think they even give you a $50 rebate. Friend of mine did it with a Puerto Rico moto x. All on t mobiles network if you do it.

I know this thread is several months old but I had an unlocked Moto X activated on metro today. So far everything is working well. It shows that I have 4G LTE. I have tested calls and data using both the 4G and wifi connections. I am using an unlocked GSM Moto X.

I also have just had a MOTO X on Metro PCS. I ordered the Phone, and also the Metro PCS Sim Cards for $10(plus tax) from their website. Installed the sim card, and called *228. They ask for the IMEI# which doesn't show up in their system. I told them it was an unlocked phone. They input the serial, and Metro Sim # and it's working fine.

I'm still using my xt1053 on Metropcs. I lost all data after the LP update but fixed it with a new Apn. Otherwise I've had no issues in the last 18+ months. (no issues with the service, I have all kinds of issues with the phone itself after updating.)

Hey all.
I ordered a moto X about 2 weeks ago, i got the unlocked Tmobile version that was on sale for 350$
anyway i live abroad and i was sure that i would be able to use the phone here (like the moto G) but i cant, it seems that the phone is ONLY unlocked for US carriers.
So my questions are:
1) is there an easy way for me to unlock it Globally for free? (Tmobile said they can do it but only from a store in the US).
2) I saw people can buy unlock codes, but my phone does not show that it is unlocked so i'm not sure if that will work..?
Any help would be very appreciated!
Tevie.
If you have the tmobile version then the phone is already sim/provider unlocked.
Which phone exactly did you get and what specific problem are you having?

I got the moto x from moto maker (picked the unlocked T-Mobile version)
The problem is that its not unlocked for Sim abroad, only in the U.S . I wanted to know how I can get it to work with a Sim not from the U.S
TMO version is supposed to be unlocked for any carrier. How do you know that it is not the case? Did you try to put non-US SIM card and it failed?

Thanks for the replay's.
I did put a local Sim in the phone and it could not register to a local networked (the same Sim worked in a different phone )
Note that it found the local networks just can't log to them.
Note 2 . TM told me that its locked for use abroad ...
It is 100% unlocked, there is no partial lock on the phone. If the phone can't register with your provider there is a different problem not related to sim locking.
I'm using my T-Mobile X in the Caribbean all fine with no hiccups or issues. Maybe it needs the APN.

I bought the T-mobile version form Moto maker, and without a problem put a Base nano sim in it. Works fine. Strangely enough it shows 4G almost everywhere... Wonder if that is correct?

Does it jsut show the 4G symbol or the 4G with the small LTE next to it? If you have HSPA service, you will see 4G.
4G it shows, which in Belgium is HSPA+

Hi guys.
Could i use xt1093 for gsm networks. I have read about it that it has gsm in specs on (phonearena dot com/phones/Motorola-Moto-X-2014_id8897 - sorry cant post a link) but i saw that guys on ebay write something like 'Will work only in US' and similar things.
I started reading about it and found that moto x (2013) from us cellular has problems with gsm (it didnt support gsm at all - and this is correct because us cellular is cdma) but i havent found anything similar to moto x 2014. It looks like this phone will work with gsm networks in europe, isnt it?
P.s. I am a noob with wp htc hd7, so I dont know anything about locking and i would like to dive into android but first of all i need a Android device Thanks
Bump. Was also wondering the same thing. has anyone here used an XT1093 on GSM outside US or even on T-MO/AT&T?
I used to work at us cell. They have a hybrid network. CDMA for voice, however the SIM card does support gsm for their lte. However on the original moto x they SIM card domestically was locked and was only for data. It would work for gsm out of the country but not in. So no matter what you do would not work on AT&T or T-Mobile. I left in April though and am not sure if they did the same with the new moto x 2014 with all the new carrier laws coming into effect for 2015. Typically us cell paid less money for the phones so they only had the antenna frequencies pertinent to them. Unlike Verizon who loads their phones with like every antenna on the planet. Lol. Hope this helps.
Hey!
It honestly really does help. I live in Asia with 2100 band for UMTS. I think i might just gamble on one
unlocking xt1093
I own this phone. Paid for it outright. Unfortunately it is simlocked, and the unlock code US Cellular provided didn't work. Neither did the several unlock codes I've purchased online. If anyone has any suggestions, my phone is available for abuse.

When you say the code didn't work do you mean the code input you get when you put in a t-mobile or at&t sim? what message do you get after you input the code?
Sim unlock XT1093
Has anyone by any chance got the moto x 2nd gen (US Cellular or Sprint ) working on gsm internationally?

anybody knows if this is being able to breach/unlock???

the same problem. I bought a different code, but all give me refund because they could not find the code ((
Please let me know if You will find solution.
there I find root metod, but not gsm unlock, maybe this will be helpful for You!
teamuscellular dot com Forum/topic/7567-how-to-root-moto-x-2014-bootloader-unlock-too/
i have already rooted and bootloader unlocked my moto, maybe some one will get lucky and find a exploit for this, most of moto x 2nd is no problem to unlock, i even search for some crack moto x 2nd to buy a mainboard but on ebay there is only a LCD / touch screen notting more
maybe is possible to do that same what with Photon Q 4lte ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929143 )
Good news!
I have called US Cellular they told me that If I update to android 5.0 they will unlock my device.
however I cannot update to android 5.0 since phone says I am most updated.
so I tried to follow youtube manuals and I figured the android 5.0 for out XT1093 isnt out there yet
and installation doesnt accpet XT1095 file update
Nice!! What you sed to them and with part of u.s. cellular you spoke? And why update to lollipop is needed ?.. I have lollipop but i flashed software for xt1095..
Maybe they in official update software put some unlocking line in sources code ..
Give us some more info about your phone conversation plesae

I have some idea what could help us to unlock xt1093 , regarding to this subject ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155 ) its about unlocking moto x first gen.
user samwathegreat find solution in one of NV-items edit #8378 from 00 to 01 ( unlocked device from locked has this diffrent amount over that NV ) he campare nv-item and memory dump from this phones.
I do that same ( change this amount in moto x 2nd) but unfortunetly does not work for me , probably simlock request is in other NV value for moto x 2nd.
I have some idea, i have flashed system with software from XT1095 over my xt1093 , if someone can do a backup of NV dump with DFS CDMA tool from unlocked XT1095 we can check diffrences and find the unlock solution ( or even flash whole NV dump to our phone )
***
Im very sorry but i need to ask You @samwathegreat what you think about it ? is there any possiblity to do it ? your experience is probably the bigest. Once again sorry for disturbance , but i dont know better persone to ask.
kindly regards
Bump! Any update for this?
