Same issue here, with AT&T.
Anyone got any news? Or are we just doing something wrong..

With KK on my VZW Moto X Dev Edition, I have to manually enter the APN settings while using my T-Mobile USA Sim. With 4.2.2 I didn't have to, the APN settings came down automatically.
This seems to be a trend, as similar thing happened with my Verizon Galaxy S4. When I first got it, APN settings for T-Mobile came in automatically when I inserted the SIM, but with the recent 4.3 update, I have to manually enter the APN settings in my GS4.

Click the menu key that is to the far right on the same row as 'APN' and add your APN settings from there.

That's the problem. There is no way to add anything there.
The only option is "Reset to Default" which, when you do it, does nothing.
I learned from tech department (after 1 week of talking, calling and researching) that it is 100% that Moto X has defected software if it doesn't have any APNs or options to add them. I had to have APNs from Verizon and I had none. Talk to Motorola to try to replace the device. They got you and me defected software devices.
The OP flashed Verizon firmware on a non Verizon Moto X. I highly doubt Motorola cares that an option is missing. They will generally want you run firmware and hardware that matches.
I have the same problem with a stock Verizon Moto X (cannot add APN). The phone works when I plug in att sim, but I hope I can set APN as I know some foreign sim can't work without setting APN.
I saw that with a previous phone, there is discussion about Verizon blocking APN setting. Does this apply to Moto X? Does the solution also apply?

Verizon Moto X Network Not available error

This problem is not new with verizon phones
You can search XDA for more info, check in Galaxy S3, S4 or Nexus 5 forum
My customized MOTO X from verizon not taking a GSM sim in india.
I tried many sims from different carries, but failed.
It showing full bars with carrier logo, but no calls and sms, only data is working.
When i tried to call someone it shows "Mobile Network not available".
I check IMEI, it is in good condition
and one more thing
When i putting my IMEI on imei.info
It showing XT1055 which is us celluar.
But my one is XT1060
I have bootloader unlocked, flashed cyanogen, sprint rom, roggers rom but no luck.
and my moto x is working with CDMA OMH sim
I do not why it is acting like a us celluar MOTO X which accepts only CDMA sims
Now i am on 4.2.2 Verizon ROM, GSM sim is not working, Showing "Mobile network not available"
I had the same issue after a friend of mine used my VZW MotoX on TMobile.
He upgraded for 4.4 to 4.4.2 while he had it running on TMo. I think that the update has broken the radio.
After .sbf back to VZW stock everything works great
I think it may be IMEI problem..

AT&T unlocked 2014 x not working on tmobile

I have an unlocked AT&T xt1097 but it won't register my T-Mobile Sim card. It registered for about 3 minutes, got a welcome to T-Mobile text and that was that. My phone number shows up in settings, but it shows I have zero service. I've reset, and rebooted several times to no avail. My sim works in a nexus 6 so it's not the sim. Imei os clean. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or how I could get it to work with my T-Mobile sim?
When you say unlocked, unlocked Sim or unlocked boot loader?
sim unlock. As far as I know there's no boot loader unlock.
Could it be that the imei isn't in T-Mobile's data base since it's an at&t moto x?
Edit: went and put the imei in to tmobiles imei checker and it couldn't figure out what device it was and if it was okay to use on their network. Now I just need to verify with T-Mobile and see if they can register the imei.

did you ever get it to work? i am experiencing the same issue. it connects to my friends AT&T network fine but with t-mobile it just says "cant register" etc,etc.
Change the APN settings
I have had a problem like this with my unlocked phone and AT&T, but when they set it up in the AT&T store they fiddled with the APN settings. I had to do the same to get my wife's unlocked Lumia 635 to work on the T-Mobile network. Try the values used in the link attached and see if it works.

I was able to connect to tmobile network some times, able to make calls. No data connection at all. I played with APN settings and everything else. any help..?
I have an unlocked ATT x1097 and it works just fine with tmobile.
You just have to MAKE A NEW APN SETTING.
When you put a tmobile sim in it, it will automatically create a couple of T-MOBILE apn settings. Just leave that as is and create a NEW APN SETTING with same info you can find from Google. Select that as your data apn. And reboot the device for the best result. It should fixed the problem.
For those of you whose sim does not register into tmobile network; i think it could be one of the following reasons:
1. Original ATT modem does not work well with tmobile frequency in your area
2. The device is locked (stolen, non-payment, etc)
3. The device is broken
4. Your SIM card is damaged
As long as you are at the home screen with tmobile sim, your phone is GSM UNLOCKED, and it iwill never lock again.

Just wanted to say thank you. My T-Mobile SIM wouldn't connect and I even went to the T-Mobile SIM store to get a new SIM Card but it didn't help. As you stated, adding a new APN setting was the only thing that worked.
For those of you who want to unlock your Moto X, I purchased a code on eBay for about $8 and received it within 6 hours. I would post the link but I'm afraid it might be considered spam.
What type of data signal are you getting? LTE?

Nice. Where did you get your unlock code?
I don't know about OP but I have always used swiftunlocks and have had great luck. Got my N6 from ATT unlocked through them without issues as well.
http://www.swiftunlocks.com/unlock/motorola-at-t-tmobile-worldwide
I noticed that sometimes phone picks up apn without issues and sometimes you have to restart so I just restart every time I make a change to be on the safe side.
Just in case anyone else has the same issue as OP, you should use the
Code:
epc.tmobile.com
APN, NOT the
Code:
fast.tmobile.com
one.
The fast.tmobile.com one would not let me register on the network. epc one did immediately.

Hey, I know this post is kind of old but I am currently having the same problem with my moto X 2014 going from At&t to T-Mobile, were you able to get it fixed and if you did, what did you do?
Any luck? I've just come accross the same issue. Got phone unlocked, and bought a new sim and activated. I'll get like 3-4 minutes of service randomly here and there, but about 99% of the time no service. Tried multiple variations of APN settings that I've found online. No luck
Fixed all my seriously annoying connection problems by flashing the 4.4.4 modem.

I just gotta upload the 4.4.4 modem from my pc, will do that later for you.

Neither one works for data... Just got it unlocked from swiftlocks and I can get voice, but no data :crying:
Someone help!! ...plz
Anyone ?? T-Mobile reps are mostly useless, and keep telling me that my device may have been ' re-locked ' to AT&T after a hard reset !! I know that's not the case because I've thrown in a Vodafone sim and it recognized it ! The sim unlock was purchased from SwiftUnlocks and the phone took it in one try w/o any issues!
Now, I can't even get voice to work... All I see is ' No Service ' and when manually trying to register with T-Mobile, it says ' unable to connect to the T-Mobile network. Please try later '
Someone please help out!!

Anyone try a Turbo on T-Mobile?

I really like the design and hardware. Just wondering if anyone has tried it.
Sure it works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3044609
This is very confusing. Will it work out of the box?
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
It will almost work out of the box. You will have to acquire a Droid Turbo and then insert a T Mobile SIM. Then you have to change the preferred network type to LTE/GSM/UMTS. Then you add the T Mobile APNs and you are good to go after a reboot.
I will warn you as a Droid Turbo owner, I really regret not getting a Nexus 6. And I have small hands.
I've used it on AT&T, T-mobile and Telcel down in Mexico. None of them required me manually setting the APNs. I wss prepared each time and had them written down and ready. Through whatever cosmic voodoo happens when I acquired each new network it did it all by itself.
HTH,

MMS doesn't work on T-Mobile after updating to lollipop. Can't change the APN's anymore as the "user does not have permission".

I'm on T-Mobile and rooted Lollipop, the APN change works fine here. You have to hit the add button, not try to change the existing APN

Verizon on Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925P)

So before anyone flames me for asking about using a Sprint S6 Edge on Verizon, I'd like to clarify that I convinced Verizon to add my IMEI to their database. I have voice, text and data access (but no LTE and always shows as roaming). My phone is carrier unlocked (obviously) and rooted.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here are my questions:
- How can I re-program my phone to recognize Verizon as the default provider? Or is there any way to flash the Verizon firmware on the phone (aka make the phone a Verizon phone)?
- I'm hoping to be able to connect to Verizon's Band 4 LTE since I understand the SM-G925P to have the Band 4 radio. How can I connect to it?
- I can't view/access the APN settings and so I can't manually add the Verizon APN settings because of some "profile does not have access" issue. How can I give myself access?
Thanks in advance!

Most Sprint phones have an unlockable bootloader so I would assume this one does as well. Why not flash a Verizon rom?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
I'm interested to see if this works fully. It looks like all Sprint Samsung's can be sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked so this could be a solution to getting unlockable Samsung phones on Verizon once again.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Any update on this? I am in the same boat. I was able to add the Verizon APN's and I am still having the issue of not being able to connect to the 4G LTE. BTW the roaming icon on the phone I think is just the software being programmed for the Sprint network and sees that you connecting to Verizon as roaming. If you check the SIM status, it will show that it is currently not roaming.
Any updates on this?
