Need help!!
My friend gave me an AT&T SIM locked Moto X. I tried to buy an unlock code at internet and did not work. Tried another online service and they provide me the same unlock code.
I think it is hardlocked and I am not going to be able to unlock it!
Do you guys have any possible idea to unlock it? Or do I have a useless phone forerver?
Thx
I unlocked mine in unlockunit (they never gave me the 50% back for posting ther youtuve video tho...)
It's so sad to have a Moto X in my hands and not being able to use it.
I think it is really hard locked. I don't know if it is worse to buy another unlock code. Two companies failed with me trying to unlock it. At least they gave the money back.

You can try a few more unlock places but there does seem to be the odd AT&T Moto X that nobody has an unlock code for. Other people have reported the same problem. You don't get too many tries to input the unlock code, even if you run out the phone can still be used on AT&T, but then it can never be unlocked.

Really? Didn't know about this. I have never had any problem unlocking phones.
I'm going to send an email to AT&T.
Thanks for replying.

Try the app from Google Play - "Unlock your Moto X", I got unlocked from AT&T within like 20 minutes for the 10 euro or so (everybody else asking 15-25)

that is the app by "unlockunit"
The app failed to charge me using paypal (dunno why), but i went to their site and all was dandy.
I have to say again tho, they say they give you 50% back if you make a youtuve video, which i did, and they never gave it back.

How did you enter the code? Have you put in the allien SIM or just typed in #073887*? And what happens after you enter it?
Does the phone work with AT&T SIM at all? If not - yes, it may be blocked by IMEI or something. In this case it is impossible to use it with any US carrier.
I put in the sim card of my provider, then it asked for the code, and it accepted the one provided by unlockunit.
I bought my Moto X contract free on the moto maker... i could have chosen Tmobile, but somehow chose ATT... There is no LTE here in Argentina, so it is the same, and i could have gotten an unlocked phone with unlockable bootloader... but i had to make just another mistake.
Unlock code from unlockunity didn't work.
It is definitely hardlocked!
I'm not gonna die, but this is still sad.

Are you taking about www.swiftunlocks.com or http://www.swiftunlock.com (without 's')?
On swiftunlock, I can't find a way to request an unlock code. On swiftunlocks, they charge $12.99.
I could give one last shot.
AT&T most likely won't unlock your phone because it's been subsidized. They now require you to wait until the 2 year contract is over which sucks.
I've just bought an unlockcode at swiftunlocks.

That unlocks the ability to use a sim. You still need to program the proper apns and set the phone in gsm mode.

Hi. I am from Argentina and I bought a Customized Moto X from Moto Maker(AT&T). I have to unlock the phone for use it in my country. The bands are the same so that isn't a problem.
What page is the better for unlock the AT&T Moto X?
Thanks
Just go with the cheapest one you can find on eBay. I think I paid around $4 USD for my code. Most have money back guarantees so you don't lose anything if it doesn't work.

Yeah, that may be true. I have yet to receive a bad code, though, and I've always just done the cheapest listing on eBay for my codes.

No, but I don't see how that would make any difference. An XT1058 is an XT1058. The unlock code depends on the IMEI and those are all different regardless of whether the phone was the standard store model or a customized MotoMaker one.
Im buying one from T-mobile just to get a custom moto x cellunlocker.net wants $25. Guess i need to look somewhere else
I believie that T-Mobile version is sim unlocked so you don't need to buy any unlock codes.

I have the same question as OP. I am about to order a MotoX and will be traveling in 1 month.
Who is RipCo?
For Motorola are more services available,there is a cheaper service that does not work for all phones,but tere is a service for not found phones ,which even if is a bit more expensive ( around 12$) should unlcok your phone

Let me see if I understood correctly, you bought your Moto X from motorola's website (in the Design Yours section), customized your phone and at the end you choosed Carrier -> ATT -> No Contract (that's 499$) and you got it to work in your country?

Just got myself an AT&T Moto X. I am in India right now and dont see any option to e-mail the guys at AT&T. For some reason they want me to register. Can anyone help me out with this? I need to SIM unlock the phone. How do I reach AT&T via e-mail?
This is the AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) phone number.Can call that 1-2 times if you can and try to convince you to give you a code,but lately seems they do not give codes unless you have or had a contract with them and use the form from their website to request for it. If that is not working can just buy an unlock code should be around 12$

I have another Rogers Moto X XT1058 on 4.4.4 with bootloader unlocked.. I ordered a sim unlock code online but they replied me with a *In process* email even after 6,7 days... I think they can't find the code for it... Now my question is if a flash a Dev edition firmware or any another firmware of moto x's which comes with a Sim-Free thingy.. Will i be able to sim unlock my phone? by flashing the sim free firmware?? i am totally a newbie in the sim things so please pardon me if this is a stupid question... Thanks in advance...

its already been 8 days bro..... Usually a codes takes 4,5 hours max to be delivered...
BUMP!!
Anyone have any idea?
Have you bothered to contact or reach out to the seller of the unlock code? If they haven't responded in 8 days with a code or any information at all, I'd contact my payment company or credit card provider, explain the situation, demand they reverse the charge, find another company that does unlock codes and try again.
As long as you're being proactive and doing something from your end, they should be doing something on theirs - if they're not then you don't do business with them, simple.
Install the Dev Edition firmware on a non-Dev Edition device isn't likely to work and could potentially brick the device given the bootloader situation (unlocked, locked, it doesn't really matter) - Dev Edition firmware really won't be a workable solution, that's why SIM or carrier unlock codes exist, basically.
8 days is a bit long in the tooth, definitely, I'd have waited 48 hours max regardless of how long they say it takes and if they hadn't responded with a code or a reason why I'd have already had the charges reversed.
I use one or two such services online and I've never had issues with them which is why I continue to do business with them, usually get a code (if one exists depending on the device, of course) within 12 hours, 16 at most.

Really sorry for the delay
UPDATE: I returned the sim locked phone to the guy that sold me that phone and in return he gave me a sim unlocked/bootloader unlocked Sprint XT1056 Moto X which is Green and white sadly lol [emoji14] .. But anyways its a great deal that he gave me the exact thing that i wanted and i bought it... Flashed AICP rom running 5.1 successfully... Finally im in peace .. Next mission is to find a White Back/Battery Cover replacement for my X... So that i can get rid of the Green and white combination... Thanks alot people for your help!! and specially thanks to @br0adband who made me understand the situation of the codes delivery etc. Thanks!! again mate..

The firmware is the same for developer/non-developer phones of the same model, and the SIM lock is independent of the ROM you are on.
How are people getting sim unlocks for this phone through Tmobile? I have one purchased out right and they are requiring 40 days to get the unlock.

Either wait for the 40 days or go on E-Bay and buy an unlock code. It will probably cost $30-$40

Was phone bought from tmo or swappa or the like? I bought a tmo model on swappa and much to my surprise, the app unlocked it right away. not my experience when buying outright from tmo.
anybody find an unlock solution?
At least the TMobile app allows the option to get a 30 day temporary unlock which for people who travel internationally and want to just a prepaid GSM Sim card it's a good option. They don't have to do this, do is a step in the right direction.
search on youtube, there is a service for unlocking them without the app
Thanks.
Yes, these unlocking services have been around years.
They cost money, which isn't really needed unless you wanted to change carrier, and they would want the balance of the phone paid off anyway
Hello, someone can tell me if you insert another carrier sim card the phone ask for network unlock code or just say invalid sim card, or something like that.
Wanna buy a blacklisted G6 I saw on ebay, thank you!

most tmobile and metropcs dont use unlock codes now. android devices use Device Unlock app, similar to sprint official unlock service.
