No way to get 3g on Att if it has the T-mobile 3g radio...
You can use it on Att easily (even without rooting) by just signing up for a plan and popping in a sim card into the Nexus... but you will only get Edge data + your voice/text.
I would REALLY advise against switching since you wont be able to get 3g and Att just capped their data plans at 2gb/mo
cool, thanks for the info, how about vodafone sim card? i have a cousin that wants to use it with vodafone but dont know if it will work.
Thanks.

yes it will work with vodaphone just fine, 3g and all.
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 ,
i am from Nagpur, did you got any solution for Sprint MOTO X ? pl help me if you have any solution. i bought two phones from eBay.
Thanks.
Sorry.. as far as I know .. no solutions yet .
sent from the ONE !!!
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.

Nobody here is a sprint or cricket phone users this is the I9300 and I9305 forum .
Flashing sprint or cricket stuff will brick our phones and in the majority of cases we would have no network as we are not in North America

The tut says nothing about not being compatible with those models. Also you may not be from north america but how does that decide where everyone else Is from? Do explain, also the 19300 comes in sprint at&t and t-mobile please research before you reply to my thead

Mt bad I didn't realize there was a difference between the i9305 and gt9305 sorry
No difference between them, but big difference between GT-I9305 and the American models (model numbers beginning with SCH or SGH). If you have an I9305, there is no way to flash it to a CDMA/3GPP2 network, such as Sprint or Cricket, as it's a GSM/3GPP phone. (3GPP and 3GPP2 are rival standards bodies, making deliberately incompatible standards.) CDMA requires completely different hardware from GSM.
If you have a Sprint or Verizon Galaxy S3 (both CDMA models), you can flash them to Cricket, but you should ask in the Sprint or Verizon forums, as we are not familiar with the CDMA Galaxy S3 versions.

Call Sprint (or whatever telecoms company you plan to use).
If the phone is not registered as stolen, then no problems.
If the phone is stolen, then report it to the police and eBay. You should get your money back via eBay and the thief will get nicked. It will stop the thief from selling anymore stolen phones via eBay - thus you are helping others.
I don't have insurance on my phone, so if it got stolen it would be at great expense to me. Also I have tracking software on mine, so I would be hunting the thief down.

So, I am wanting to get the S5, but I am tired of all the AT7T bloatware that comes on these phones. Plus, being in the military, prefer unlocked phones. So, what are my choices here. Where can I get an unlocked S5 that will fully work on the AT7T network?

The closest you could get is a TMO branded S5 which ships BL Unlocked (at least initial shipments) a few bands may not work though depending on the TMO radio. Also you would need to sim unlock the TMO S5 and buy it outright which I believe is 660.

I was wondering about that. Heard the TMO boot loader is unlocked. Just wasn't sure all bands would work on AT&T.
Att LTE should work hspa+ not sure I haven't looked at tmo specs at length

yes just say you want to buy it out right with no plan....you might get a rep who doesnt want to sell it though since they get commission on activations...if so just goto another store.
will give it a try tomorrow. thanks.

looking on the site you gave me, it stated that all samsung devices would need to be activated on original carrier first or the phone would be region locked. is this correct?

Makes no mention of NA Regions though, and the ATT Box doesnt have the sticker on it.

Ah, yes, it's my American perspective, as I would like to import, but Samsung is trying to stop such behavior.

The expectation is that all American models are region-locked as well. Here is an example of a N. America model with the region-lock warning on it: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s5-region-lock-367402/
FYI, I bought an AT&T S5, unlocked it and am using it now on Straight Talk and with other local SIMs as I travel. Check out my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714535
Hello and good day!
I just bought a g6 h872 T-Mobile network locked from eBay.
Unlock service is way expensive for T-Mobile so can I flash a metropcs rom in order to request a cheaper network unlock service and then flash T-Mobile stock rom?
Or any cheapest way to do a network unlock?

Unfortunately there is no other way Without paying. Only other way would be if the guy who sold it to you paid it off and he could just call T-Mobile and have them permanently unlock it for me
Or you could buy a phone for a real price that's been unlocked. Lo barato sale caro.
