Finally got my Moto X rooted and bootloader unlocked, only to come to Android Dev for the device and find that there are only:
TMO/VZW/Other GSM variant ROMs. Am I missing something? Verizon even uses CDMA like Sprint- are these also compatible with Sprint or do I have to wait for one literally labeled as compatible for Sprint?
Also, sorry if this has been asked before, but there are 50+ pages of Q&A and no search feature, so here I am.
Thanks in advance!

Im looking for some developer to post a guide on turning a regular Htc One like the T Mobile or AT&T version into a Developer Edition One that will get Ota updates from Htc. All the internets await the dev that does this, or 5 bucks on paypal. Whatever you choose.
This has already been done, although not in one tutorial yet on XDA.
Basicly unlock bootloader via Revolution method S-OFF flash standard RUU (I suggest a 1.28 version so OTA can be checked) and OTA Then relock bootloader and go back S-ON voila standard HTC.
I did it myself with a dutch branded HTC from T-Mobile and made a tutorial in dutch.

can it be done with sprint one too?
If it can be unlocked and S-OFF via revolution I don't see why not. When a RUU is then installed it makes it a standard HTC edition
Won't work on Sprint. The Dev edition is GSM only.

can it do voice over LTE?
Sprint still uses CDMA radios and the Dev edition RUU won't have one.
Also the Sprint phone has a different partition layout than the Dev edition.
The boot partition on GSM phones is the partition number Sprint uses for the radio if I remember correctly

For the sake of simplicity I'll add the Dev edition doesn't support CDMA. Better?
OK no need to treat me like a noob .Did some reading into CDMA and GSM and the sprint version is just different alltogether. The Netherlands/Europe doesn't work like that with different models dor a specific provider.
We have a couple of providers that use the same phone but for example a differnet frequency for GSM 2G 3G 4G etc. CDMA isn't at all available here. or as I understand anywhere outside the US.
So if Sprint uses CDMA I'm afraid it might not work when de Dev edition of the rom hasn't got CDMA support.
You could turn the sprint One into a gsm one it has both radios, just check your gsm needs as it is extremely lacking on how many frequencies it actually has.

its not about the fact that it has both radios. its just the plain simple fact that Sprint uses CDMA for almost all of its phone and data capabilties and the fact that since the HTC ONE/GE only has a GSM version. if you indeed flash an OTA from the GE version it wont have CDMA drivers and therefore you'll basically have a 600 dollar HTC Ipod touch.
I am sorry if this question was previously asked/answered as I did review the forums, but couldn't find an answer.
This is my first experience with a Moto X (GSM) Developer Edition, specifically running on ATT.
I am a bit confused by which ROMS, Kernels, etc are ok to use on my device.
I see many ROMS which say VZW, ATT, TMobile but I am not sure which is ok to use.
Should I be looking for only things which have been specifically labeled ATT Dev Edition or will anything for ATT work ?
Sorry for the newbie question, but I haven't dealt with a device with so many flavors which didnt have a dedicated forum.
Thanks!!
On the GSM developer edition you'd want to stick with the tmobile/retail flash images if you're leaving the bootloader locked. If you unlock the bootloader then you can load nearly any image but I'd stick with ones from the XT1053 and XT1058 only. (XT1058 being the model AT&T uses, so you can try AT&T flash images if you like)
Well stay away from the Verizon stuff and you should be fine.
That's why a Verizon dev edition exists.
Most of att stuff work on T-Mobile

i found a moto X developer and will this work on the att network and i hope someone can help me out?
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
According to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X#Variants
The Moto X model XT-1053 is the unlocked Developer Edition phone and does work on AT&T. The bands area also listed there.
thank for the help.
So i have to download the moto X developer image for att right?

Yes that appears to be correct. I do not have a Developer Edition, but there is only one set of images for Verizon, which does have a DE device available. The firmware is the same, to my understanding, but the bootloader is able to be unlocked officially via the Motorola website.
Here are the firmwares you'll want. Ensure that if you pick one, you can only go UP in version, not down. So verify which version is on the phone first. You can only flash that version or a higher version (upgrading) but cannot downgrade to an older version. That will cause problems.

You want one of these UNLESS you're on 4.4.4 then you'll have to get it from Motorola.

XT1060 is the model for Verizon.
Google what bands it uses. Then compare to what at&t uses. I've seen in here people using it on tmo Idk about at&t. As far as which version to mix with your phone I'll bow out to someone with more experience with that
Edit: and next time you post make sure you put what MODEL phone you have and the software version. Would've saved some time possibly.

Hi just wandering is there any stock based rom for the sprint moto x? Like T-mobile rom or at&t rom?
I have done the sim unlock on the sprint moto x. But still looking for some stock based rom.
Thank you if anyone could point me out the direction?

if google have answers I would not ask here.
And please don't show me the stock sprint rom. I already know it and that is not what I am looking for.
I am looking for T-mobile or att base rom for sprint
Kinda Rude you are but ill answer the question for you.
Sprint Moto x does not have a lot of support here. when it comes to stock roms for sprint they are Just stock with minor tweaks like debloated and maybe a few small mods also.
I would look for a ASOP or CM or any of the custom roms because they are all built for all the different versions of the moto x and they wont have the carrier bloat ware and much more settings to work with when setting up a unlocked device on a different carrier.
so if that was not the answer you wanted to here but trust me i would know i own a Sprint X myself. and we are much better off now then we was at the start.
now the ASOP and CM Roms we dont get FC and we get good signal as to when they first started coming out sprint X was having major issues with the Roms and there Kernels.
so like i said if your looking for a multi carrier rom for the Sprint X you have to use either a ASOP CM or custom rom that is made for all devices.
hopefully i did not confuse you lol Good luck
Hello, the question is as shown. I was unsure as GSM Arena showed it had support and I recall being able to flash a CDMA Rom to get this working.
