Database Develop

Developer edition or regular moto x ?

I'm getting the moto x and I'm on Verizon currently, also thinking about switching to a different company now my question getting the developer editing will allow me to go to any company ? And also would it be better to get the developer phone since its unlock might men more developers will be able to offer ROMs for it ?
Thank you for the help guys.

if you want custom roms, you will need to get the dev edition.

I guess my question would be if the locked bootloader will find a way to get unlocked. I'm springing for a standard edition phone and praying for a bootloader unlock.

Or the Rogers Moto X :silly:

Sick and tired of flashing, reflashing and other crap.
Anyone want to bet on the timeliness of updates for the bootloader-locked versions?

I kinda agree with you. With the build Moto has given on the X I would be happy with just root.

[Q] T-Mobile Moto X - Failed to unlock bootloader

I was quite lucky, in that my shiny new Moto X was delivered today. I've played around a bit with the stock software, and decided that I really wanted to root and play a bit more. Upon getting my Device ID, I pasted it in the Motorola unlocker page only to be greeted with the message that my device doesn't qualify for the bootloader to be unlocked.
I'm quite sad. Has anyone had any success in unlocking the T-Mobile Moto X just yet?

If you bought it off contract as a T-Mobile variant then the boot loader is unlockable as far as I am aware.

Master Jedi, will PwnMyMoto, root and UNLOCK the bootloader? I'm on Verizon waiting for Dev Edition to arrive at my door step.

No, if you can unlock the bootloader, do so properly and dont use my exploit. Unlock it, flash re covery flash supersu

Another question(s) for you sir, I understand that unlocking the BL will enable you to flash a custom recovery but do you need to unlock to flash custom roms? And if you don't what recovery image do you use to flash roms with? And if I unlock the BL using the moto website what method do I use the obtain root?

Same Issue
T-Mobile Moto X with the same issue; enter code from fastboot formatted as instructed into the unlock webform and get 'does not qualify'. Sat on the phone with Motorola's awful support for an hour (mostly on hold) wading through support reps that do not understand what the difference is between 'bootloader' and 'SIM' unlock and finally got to tier-3 support, which was closed for the day, and will be calling me back. Web chat was futile, the rep kept insisting this is for the developer edition only, (which ships unlocked to begin with therefore negating the need for an unlock request).

Was just successful. Not sure if this was Motorola's fault or not, but i tried again, doing everything the same way as before and it worked, code was e-mailed and phone is unlocked.

Also, I wouldn't trust what they say at that level of support. I emailed support when mine wouldn't work.... Clearly asking about my boot loader and their response was my version was not carrier unlocked. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer over there. Lol

Escalated issue, level 2 support rep logged in my PC to make sure and he wasnt able to unlock either.

Try to unlock it today, I was in the same problem a few days ago, In motorola webpage says that my bootloader doesnt qualify for unlock, but today my luck changes, and I try it again, and for my sorprice was that the unlock code was available.

I am having the same issue.

Unlock-able bootloader on Verzion now?!

I noticed that Motorola has added VZW to the list of MOTO X carriers on their page "What devices are supported by the Bootloader Unlock program?"
[google: motorola unlock supported devices]
Has anyone else seen this? I don't see any news releases anywhere for it, and it definitely wasn't there previously.
From the chart, it doesn't appear to be specific to the Dev edition. Does this mean I/we could unlock the non-dev 'retail' version of the phone? Has anyone actually tried or used this method to unlock with or without success?

Im pretty sure that the OP is referring to that image. Notice it says: US / Sprint, USC, TMO, VZW are all unlockable.
Im also pretty sure that it is referring to the DE.

Yeah that's for the Dev edition. You can try it on the regular one if you please (won't hurt anything) but when you enter the magic code acquired from the device you will be told its not valid for unlock.

Not a Verizon owner but Rogers , I did unlock my boot loader, you got nothing to lose. you have to get a code from your phone in fastboot which you insert into Motorola's unlocking request page at which point either you get a code or it will say your boot loader is not unlockable

Was going to try it but can't even log into my Moto account lol.. Either way HIGHLY doubt it would work. Must be talking about the Dev edition.

Doesn't work. Worth a shot though

[Q] Need and official T-Mobile Rom for AT&T Moto X

I have a friend with an AT&T Moto X. He is selling it and offered me a good deal on it. It is already unlocked (I know I may need to unlock it again if I change roms and such but I assume his code may carry over and I don't mind buying an unlock code if needed). I am very interested in the phone but would prefer to have the official stock T-Mobile rom on the phone. I can install a custom bootloader if necessary, but I cannot find an official T-Mobile rom for the phone. Does anyone know where I could find the official stock T-Mobile rom or know how I can switch it to the T-Mobile rom from the AT&T rom? Thanks

If it's an AT&T Moto x, then you can't bootloader unlock it. If it is SIM unlocked once, then it'll stay that way forever. If it has a locked bootloader, then you can't really install a rom on it.

I thought I should stay unlocked. I had read a few posts from people suggesting it might have to be redone though, so I wasn't sure. So It is stuck with the AT&T rom for good then I presume? The only reason I would have a desire to change the rom would be to take advantage of a perticular T-Mobile app, which I can get on the phone anyways. Would there be any notable problems that anyone knows of with using an unlocked AT&T Moto X on T-mobile?

I am using one right now and it works fine. The only possible issue is if you're in an area that hasn't had a network refarm. In those areas, you can only get 2g instead of 3g. It has the same LTE coverage either way.

My AT&T Moto X is bootloader unlocked. Cost me $40 to get the code. There's quite a few threads being posted about it. I'm using it on T-Mobile right now. Once it is carrier unlocked, it stays that way. Same with the bootloader. I get LTE on T-Mobile.
It's well worth the $40 to unlock the bootloader. You can root, install roms, and pretty much do whatever you want to your phone.
Side note: I don't think there is an official T-Mobile rom since the T-Mobile version is the unlocked GSM version.

Okay? I was answering the OP's inquiry about a stock T-Mobile rom, and like I said, there isn't a T-Mobile rom since it's a gsm unlocked version. I don't know why you quoted me with dev images?

I read where people have flashed this to att phones and gotten it to work. Sorry didn't mean to quote you

If it is not on 4.4.2 already, you can root it and use a SafeStrap ROM. If it's on 4.4.2 already, you're out of luck. I don't think AT&T has sent out the update already, so it probably doesn't have 4.4.2.

[Q] sunshine app

Has anyone tried the sunshine app on the new moto x? Mainly asking Verizon users. Thinking about trying it because it does clearly say it will work on some 4.4.4 devices.

Not yet, they just recently added Moto G, supposedly they are currently working on Moto X 2014

There is support for first gen moto x but the website and the thread you directed me to makes no mention of the 2gen. moto x.
It says it MAY work on some 4.4.4 devices and to go ahead and try but I don't want to break anything. I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.

I just tried the app to see the error message. Answer is no..you have to at least be rooted for the app to have a chance. Right now there is no root method for this device :/

It doesn't work on 2014 X. The "some 4.4.4 devices" it worked on previously had root and lost it (that I can tell).
