Database Develop

[Q] Anyone working on unlock/root/S-OFF/Whatever for the Verizon variety?

Nobody's really talking about the Verizon edition. Any developers out there with phone in hand yet?

More than likely whatever will work for the AT&T variety will also work on the VZW one, but since more people have the AT&T one already, it has more chance of getting it first.

I wonder if that's true. The AT&T One is unlocked, but there is a multi-thousand dollar bounty for the Verizon version. I think the S4 is up to $4k on verizon and also unlocked on AT&T.

How can you wonder if that's true? AT&T bootloader is not unlocked by the way, also what does the S4 have to do with the MOTO X? That's why I Huh?

Ok, again...The AT&T version of the HTC One is unlocked and exploited, but the Verizon version is not.
The Samsung S4 is unlocked and rooted on AT&T, but the Verizon S4 is not, and the bounty on that is over $4k now...if it were so easy to unlock a Verizon model when you can unlock another carrier model, I'm sure someone would have claimed the bounty by now.
So, again, I said I'm not sure if the exploit for the AT&T X will work on the Verizon X, and the same people will not be working on both versions, more than likely, they'll be working on carrier specific models...which is why I said I wonder if that will hold true.

[Q] Question on Unlocked Ebay Moto X - Likely from Puerto Rico

I just purchased an Unlocked Moto X on Ebay. It hasn't arrived yet, but the back of the box was in Spanish and it is shipping from Puerto Rico. I've been trying to determine exactly what I am getting here, but I'm having trouble. Hopefully you guys can help me answer these questions.
- From reading other threads it sounds like I'm getting a XT1058. Will this be hardware identical to the AT&T XT1058?
- If so, I'm guessing HSPA+ on AWS with T-Mobile will not work. is that correct?
- Have these models received the recent update that improves the camera?
- If not enabled, is there a way to enable AWS? Would flashing T-Mobile firmware work?

I have that model. Its from the GSM carrier "Claro". Yes it has the recent camera update. I have it unlocked and im currently using it on att with LTE.
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I had one
Same hardware as att and rogers.
Wont work on aws hspa.
As far as I know still haven't gotten update unless it happened this week. (This is part of why I sold mine to get a T-Mobile one )
You could unlock boot loader and flash the rogers or att image to fix that though
I am pretty sure you can't flash aws on it. I know some Samsung phones its possible but for Motorola the hardware is probably slightly different

[Q] T-Mobile Moto X: can I use it on any GSM carrier?

Hi there!
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.

They're the exact same phone x1053, make sure the LTE bands are correct for the carriers you want to use (5 and 7 are x1058 only)

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.

[Q] XT1050 Android Update

Hey Guys. Love the forums. Searched but still not really sure about this. Couldn't really find much information for the XT1050.
About two weeks ago I purchased a Moto X from my carrier. They are a very small carrier. The firmware on my phone is android 4.2.2. It's the ghost_row.lra version. I would like to update to 4.4.2 (or to the most current version of android possible) but I can't find the update for my phone. I called Motorola and they told me that all updates have been released for ALL phones and that it's up to my carrier to release. With my carrier being so small, I have never seen them release a software update for any phone (except the iphone which apple updates). After searching I couldn't find any 4.4.2 firmware for the xt1050. Almost every setting in my phone references Verizon, so I was wondering if I could just possibly flash my phone with a Verizon rom? My biggest hold up is that I kind of thought the Verizon Moto X was the XT1060, does that make a difference? With my phone being pretty generic does this mean that my bootloader is unlocked and if so would flashing it lock me to a Verizon rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just not really sure what the best/safest thing to do is because I would really like to keep my phone up to date.

I personally am thinking its not a good idea. From what I am reading your carrier, Thumb Cellular, did partner with Verizon Wireless for the rural LTE project. That might be why you are seeing verizon wireless in certain parts of your phone.
It might work...might not. I dont think it will though. Have you reached out to Thumb to see when they plan to update to 4.4?

Would there be any custom rom that I might be able to flash? I haven't found any specifically for the xt1050. I haven't contacted my carrier yet. VERY SMALL company. I may have to ask them but 90% of the time I have to go to my carrier for troubleshooting they never have any idea what I'm talking about or how to fix anything.

The only way to flash a custom rom is if you can unlock your bootloader. Otherwise you are stuck with ROMs which have been digitally signed by Motorola.

You try this???

XT1097 Lollipop update/news/info

I bought an off contrct unclojed xt1097 from telus. Their marketing calls in pure edition but we know that the xt1095 is the real pure one. I contacted telus about the lollipop update and they said that they were waiting on Motorola and then contacted Motorola through the help chat on our phones and the Moto rep asked me to check with my carrier as they are the ones releasing. So frustrating how these people know nothing.
Has anyone with an xt1097 got any info or news ro share? Anyone receive a soak test?
Thanks for sharing!

I too have the xt1097 and havent received anything. The update for this version is not out yet, but according to mobile syrup, motorola is working with the canadian carriers to push it as soon as possible.

At the moment yes, but it will coming to wind or another carrier soon. Also lollipop is being pushed to the moto G on several networks and the 1st gen moto X on rogers. Hence working with Canadian carriers to bring lollipop to moto devices and not just to the moto X 2014 on Telus.

I do hope it is soon as I don't want to mess around too much with the phone just yet. There isn't really anything bloated about the Telus version, it just has some wifi #TELUSDIRECT and such in it.

Nexus 5 updates on Telus?
Does anyone know how long after kit kat was released did telus nexus 5 owners see their updates?

Lol comment fail. Anyways how quickly did n5 owners get 4.4.2 over the original 4.4.x firmware?

I too would like to know when we would receive lollipop.

Us xt1096 owners are still on 4.4.4 as well

I also have a 1097 Brazilian Retail Moto X and no updates here yet.
As it is a retail version I wonder what would be the trouble to release the update along with those pure editions. The Brazilian retail is the closest thing to a pure edition that is not being sold exclusively in US.
Hope they release it soon.

I know what you mean. It seems to be the exactly the same as the pure edition with absolutely no carrier bloat even bought from my carrier (TELUS). It would be very surprising if they sit on a working lollipop build for the xt1095 without also quickly updating the xt1097. As far as I know and I could be wrong is they only need a modified modem for the xt1097. How long can that take?

I don't think it'll take too long for us (I mean Brazilian xt1097 retail) to get it. Changes seem to be minimal and brazil is pretty high with motorola. My bet is we start getting it by next week. Hang on dude, Im with you on that!

Just chatted with a Motorola rep and she said it should be coming in a few weeks.

Pics for proof (not that I trust her actually knowing for sure).

Our turn?
Xt1095, then xt1096. Next xt1097? One can hope!

Can't be too long now, Verizon released it yesterday.....

Wind Mobile is now selling the Moto X. Haven't been able to confirm the model number or exact software version yet.

Looks like the same one as telus, almost the same ad..... looks like most of the southern part of the world is getting Lollipop, maybe it is too cold for it to travel here.....
