Moto X (can bootloader be unlocked)

Thinking about the Moto X, the GSM edition, not the developer edition because I understand the developer version comes in white back and black front. I want all white Moto X. So because I am not getting the developer edition can I still unlock the bootloader??? I tried checking before asking this and could not find the answer.
Thanks, Vinny

it depends.
if you buy the t-mobile one on motorola.com its unlockable. if you get the at&t one it is not unlockable.
if you buy a rogers canada one its unlockable. if you buy a telcel or claro latin america unit they are unlockable. if you buy a mexico nextel GSM one it is not unlockable (some people are holding out hope that its a mistake and will have its IMEIs added to the unlock list..).

Thanks for the fast reply. Great information.

If you're asking if the BOOTLOADER can be unlocked, as of right now, no.
If you're asking about carrier unlock, then you can go by sleepy guys answer.

Well, it's not a "no." Like the poster said above, it depends on your carrier. VZW and ATT are a no go.

I have a Latin America Moto X (Movistar Chile), but when I try to unlock the bootloader, the Motorola Page throws me "your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking"

I have a Fido Canada version of this phone and I'm trying to unlock the boot loader but it tells me I'm not eligible . i know the my phone is the same as rogers. Why am I not able to?

Carrier needs to provide Motorola with the OK to allow the unlocking the bootloader, obviously Fido hasn't given them the OK, see if you can return it and pick up the rogers version at full price and use your Fido Sim card,you shouldn't have to Sim unlock as we all know Rogers is Fido's parent company

Okay well my phone is on contract. Im pretty sure the Rogers and Fido phone are the exact same. I don't think they would trade mine in for a rogers. Is there any other way to unlock the boot loader? Will there be one in the future?

Basically the problem is some carriers are not giving their imei lists to Motorola to have those phones in the unlock program. Thats probably why there are some Latin America units that can't unlock

Being Fido makes no difference, it runs the Rogers firmware and is unlockable. Its looking like several people have tried to unlock bootloaders today(including me) and the Motorola website has said they are not eligible. So my conclusion at this point is that the backend server that handles the codes is down/broken.

For the Nextel Mexico XT1053, It has been confirmed that is a mistake as can be seen in this thread on Motorola's Website. They are working the issue, but it may take more time.

Wrong. I contacted Moto. The GSM unlocked version is NOT bootloader unlockable. My unlock code does not work. I am sending it back.

If the carrier doesn't want Moto to let you unlock, you can't. Motorola's web site for unlocking will tell you your device doesn't qualify and there is nothing you can do.
Moto's web site does list some information on carriers and which can be unlocked. See -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215

As far as which motos that can not be unlocked 2 are unable, Verizon and AT&T consumer versions, all other motos have the unlockable boot loader to date.
If you have attempted to unlock and get ineligible, then your imei has not yet been entered into motos system. When calling the "not the Sharpe's knifes in the drawer" folks at moto, please establish what you wish to unlock your BOOT LOADER not SIM UNLOCKED because they normally ASSume the sim

The off contract, GSM unlocked phone has nothing to do with carrier's wishes. I have this phone with an activated TMO sim and it is not eligible for unlock, period. This is sold directly by Motorola and is supplied with a TMO sim. TMO has no issue with bootloader unlocks, so it's not the carrier - this model is not bootloader unlockable.

Been there, done that. I was told by Moto that my off contract, unlocked full price GSM Moto X shipped with the Tmobile sim is not bootloader unlockable. The two people I spoke with fully understood the difference between sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked, and also knew that bootloader unlocking automatically voids the warranty except on the Developer version.

Update: Moto just sent me a note saying that their system may not be updated with my IMEI yet, but once it is, the warranty is automatically and uncategorically voided when I apply for the unlock code. Since it's the 32GB version, I'll still RMA it and get the Developer version instead. It's the exact same money and unlocking the developer version does not void the warranty.

[Q] Can you unlock the bootloader of an unlocked/off-contract moto x?

I'm thinking of buying the moto x since Motorola decided to offer the $150 discount again. Since I use Straight Talk, I'll be buying the unlocked GSM version. My question is this: can I still unlock the bootloader?
This site https:// motorola-global-portal.custhelp. com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 says that for the US versions, only the Sprint T-mobile and US Cellular versions can be unlocked. It doesn't say anything about the unlocked GSM version of the phone

T Mobile is GSM SIM unlocked. The bootloader can be unlocked.

[Q] next steps with my moto X

I am a Rodgers subscriber and have purchased a used Sprint Moto X. I have unlocked it so I could just put in a SIM and go. Is this my best option or should/can I flash this with custom firmware, updated Sprint firmware (KitKat), or switch over to Rogers firmware. Any other Sprint Moto X users in Canada out there? Current software is 161.44.32.ghost_Sprint.en.US

I was under the impression that the unlock of the phone would allow any SIM to be put in. The point of unlocking the phone would be to allow a person to take a phone and use it with any other provider. I do not have the right size SIM to put in but the phone is connected to the Rodgers network right now and I can dial 911 (emergency dial). It could be that I do not understand the definition of unlock and now have a phone I can still only use with Sprint.....

If you went to the Motorola site and did their unlock procedure.... Then you unlocked the boot loader. That won't let you use the phone on another carrier. Unlocking boot loader would be done with fast boot.
If you sim unlocked....you would have had a code from sprint....or somewhere, and when you put the other carrier sim card in....it would ask you for a code, and you would enter the code.
What exactly did you do???

Just the bootloader, should have done more research. There are sites that suggest for a small fee the sim can be unlocked. Can they unlock sprint phones or am I going to have to sell it?

I may be wrong, but since there's an unlock sprint sim bounty thread....I am pretty sure those sites can't unlock sprint moto x's.
Sorry!!!

No the bounty threads are to unlock the bootloader. As for Sim unlocking, I don't know anything about it related to CDMA network.
According to Wikipedia, Rogers is a GSM network. Sprint is a CDMA network. Therefore the Sprint Moto X will not work with Rogers, unless I'm missing something. There is an exception that Verizon phones are world phones which mean they support CDMA, but their newer phones also have the radio to support GSM, which means their phone are GSM unlocked to work for GSM networks outside of US (from what I understand they prevent it from working with GSM carriers within US unless you sim unlock it).
Sorry but the Sprint Moto X won't work with Rogers network. You just need to buy a GSM unlocked Moto X (xt1053) and stick the sim in, then enter the Rogers APN information. You can also get an unlocked ATT Moto X (xt1058) or presumably a Verizon Moto X.

You say that buying Sprint Moto X isn't option but there is some way to unlock Moto X because there is solutions for Sprint HTC One, Sprint LG G2, Sprint Galaxy S4 and etc so it's don't be hard to make solution to unlock Sprint Moto X too so maybe there could be found developers who will do it I have hope.
P.S. and one news I PM ysabxe for information progress on this project but he say that this thread is not actual for him more I thin cause nobody send him that files what he needed for unlock he need already unlocked Moto X TWRP backup.

Don't trust Wikipedia. Just like the verizon X, the sprint X supports at least quad band gsm for global roaming, which are the same gsm frequencies also used in North America. (I haven't looked into the other frequencies the sprint x supports).
The problem comes in that the Sprint X is sim locked to only use their Sims. You can only get the sim unlock code from sprint directly, no 3rd party sellers seem to have them. Sprint will only give it if you are a current customer, with the X active on your line, and other condiitions are met.... So if you buy a used Sprint Moto X that hasn't been sim unlocked, you are screwed. But if you buy one that has been sim unlocked, you'll be able to get at least basic gsm.

Because other phones can, you must be able to on X.... Unfortunately that is faulty logic.
For whatever reason, the only way to sim unlock a Sprint Moto X has been to be a current Sprint customer and get the code from them. For all the posts on XDA asking for Sprint X sim unlock code for those who are no longer Sprint customers, no one has found a way. None of the 3rd party code sellers have a way.

If you are active user look unlocking steps there is always used omadm.apk on Sprint HTC one and Sprint LG G2 so there is way to unlock Sprint X too but need already sprint customer who already have unlocked their Sprint X and need files from already unlocked Sprint X ysabxe was asking make backup and link it on dropbox or some cloud but nobody did it. so it doesn't mean that it is impossible to unlock Sprint X

Again, you're assuming the same method and software used to SIM unlock phones by other makers is how its done on the X too.
While it may not be impossible, I would say its improbable... The X has been out since August yet with all the requests by those looking to SIM unlock the Sprint X, as of today, no one has posted a way to do it, other than be an active sprint customer and request the code from them.

Which Moto X variant should I get?

If I buy a Moto X XT1058, will that work on UK carriers? Do any variants have advantages over others?

I'd buy the model which has the most GSM bands matching those used by UK carriers.

Depends on what bands your carrier uses.
The XT1058, XT1060, and most other X's (except the XT1056 for Sprint and Republic Wireless in the USA) support Quad Band GSM (for GSM/GPRS/EDGE). It supports standard frequencies for UMTS/HSPA.
The Xt1058 supports the most LTE bands, so chances are better for LTE outside the USA.
Take a look at Wikipedia for the X, its pretty accurate.
You may need to sim unlock the XT1058, but codes can be purchased on line for $10 to $30 USD. I know the ATT XT1058 is SIM locked, I'm not sure about the other varients (like the XT1058 from Rogers Canada, etc).
If you want to root, and you get an XT1058, just make sure its not an ATT XT1058. The ATT XT1058 can't have its bootloader unlocked, unless it still has 4.4.2 or lower on it, and you pay for Sunshine. Rogers and other XT1058 can get their bootloader unlock code for free from Moto's web site, and you can use the code no matter what ROM is on the phone (although it does void the warranty). Unlocking the bootloader is the only way to root Android 4.4.4, and possibly future versions. And its the easiest way to root Older Android versions on the X.

Thanks for the information. This is more of a general question, but if a phone is listed as "unlocked", does that suggest it isn't an ATT XT1058, and won't need a bootloader unlock code? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
"Unlocked" means that the phone works with SIMs from any mobile operator. So it's more like "operator unlocked".
Unlocker bootloader Moto Xs (and Gs) are called "Developer Edition".

Yeah, what @spkbri said...
There are TWO types of "Unlocked" and some people do confuse them.
SIM Unlocked (aka Carrier unlocked) which just allows you to use any other carrier's sim in the phone.
Bootloader Unlocked, which allows you to flash unsigned parts (like 3rd party recoveries, roms, etc).
So if you see a phone listed only as "Unlocked" it could mean either.
Motorola did sell a few "GSM Unlocked (ships with XXX SIM)" type models on Moto Maker website (mostly for T-Mobile and Net10 in the USA). These were the XT1053 variety, shipped SIM unlocked, and could have their boot loaders unlocked by requesting then using the bootloader unlock code. Per moto's wording on the web site, requesting the bootloader unlock code voids the warranty.

I will disagree with you here.
Yes, Moto did sell Developer Editions of the X for GSM and Verizon USA (CDMA). They were bootloader unlockable. You just request the code from Moto's web site. And unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty.
But when it comes to the "2013 X", for some carrier editions and Moto Maker editions (Like T-Mobile, Sprint, Rogers and many others), Motorola also freely gives away the BootLoader Unlock codes when requested On Motorola's Web Site. In the case of the Non-Developer Editions, it voids their warranty to request the code.
The exceptions being ATT USA, Republic Wireless USA, and Verizon USA. For those, Moto does NOT give out the bootloader unlock codes (likely due to agreements with those carriers). That being said, when the China Middle Man was operating, you had a chance to purchase a boot loader unlock code, and unlock those as well. And of course, doing so voided your warranty.

Gsm network says my Moto x is locked, old cdma network says its unlocked?

I'm trying to activate my Moto x second gem on cricket, but they say it's locked. The old network it was on was us cellular so I called them for the unlock code but they say it's already unlocked. Any way around this? I need an unlock code to use it on cricket. I'm wondering if the problem is because cricket uses gsm and U.S. Cellular uses cdma.

If it's unlocked it should work just fine. Call u.s. cellular again and ask for the gsm unlock code.

U.S. Cellular won't give me an unlock code because they say it's unlocked and there's nothing they can do. I found out that the phone was originally on republic wireless, the fcc stamp says the model is xt1094. That being said, I have no idea how the previous owner got it to work on us cellular as republic wireless phones use hybrid calling software that doesn't work with other carriers. Either way, the sim is still locked and it's stuck on us cellular when it shouldn't be (according to them).
