its unlocked non rooted?
No you can not. Sprint, like Verizon operate on a CDMA network while ATT and T-Mobile operate on a. GSM network.
Afraid not. Sorry. They use different bands. Plus Sprint doesn't use SIM cards

This phone has only been successfully flashed to one other carrier that I am aware of. The SIM card in this is for Verizon's LTE network and not for like a world phone or GSM network. So if you are looking to use this phone on a GSM network I think you are out of luck as this phone only contains CDMA radio hardware.

Thanks man
Hi. Greetings to all
I'm from Malaysia, and I'm interested to buy Moto X from RW since it's cheaper than DE. And I'm sure it's locked, but does it support GSM network? On wiki it writes unknown. Before, it used to share the same column as Sprint
Thanks in advance for your answer/s!

Since RW uses Sprint as its network, the Moto X you buy from them would be CDMA.
The phone is CDMA but it does have a SIM slot. So I'm wondering if it's possible to use with a GSM carrier. Or how to even root this phone.
The sim card is for the lte.

That's the thing. Is it really CDMA? If I'm not mistaken, a CDMA phone doesn't use a SIM and doesn't even have a SIM slot. So, what's the SIM slot for? If one can put a SIM card, shouldn't it mean one can also use the GSM network? No?

Yep, noticed that when I went thru RW website. But can you explain why is there a SIM slot?

Sure, LTE is the reason for SIM.
CDMA is a single-band network (hence why previously you could not talk and surf the web simultaneously). In order to connect on the LTE frequency, the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card identifies the phone for registering on the network.
Sprint uses 850Mhz for CDMA and 1900Mhz for LTE.

So, you're saying all CDMA phones are using SIM now for its LTE connectivity?
I'm not sure if EVERY cdma LTE phone uses a SIM, but I do know that it's very common.
Every LTE phone uses a Sim. Because LTE is for one thing a gsm technology.
The republic wireless moto x hardware probably does support normal non LTE gsm as its the same hardware as the sprint model . that said its probably boot loader locked and firmware locked to not support gsm . they are not that dumb to let people buy the phones to not use on their network .

It's not that I don't wanna use their network. It's because of the limited availability and, price point too

This is what I was curious about. Whether or not the radios are there and just disabled, or whether they do not exist in it at all.
Hello,
I have a T-mobile HTC ONE M7, I'm planing to switch to Verizon, Will I be able to get LTE/4G?
Is my Tmo M7 supported at all by Verizon? What network will I be able to connect to?
Is there any way to make my phone support all or some of Verizon's bands? A ROM or a Radio!! Maybe something else!!
I have tried to find this info, but I couldn't. The only thing I found is that both T-mobile and Verizon use the 1900 band for LTE!!
Please if you know anything about this let me know
Thank you

T-Mobile is a GSM phone which doesn't have any CDMA bands, so you will surely limit yourself on their network. Also, T-Mobile and Verizon have different partition tables so the firmware and roms are not compatible. If you know someone on the Verizon network, ask them if you could use their SIM card to see what type of service you get with the TMO phone. Here is comparison chart of the various HTC One's, check out the Secondary Cellular Phone.

Like said above, TMO htc one use GSM bands and Verizon use CDMA bands. Your phone also need a MEID # (the equivalent of the EMEI for CDMA network) which you don't have on a GSM HTC One (manufacturer-assigned). And afaik, Verizon will not accept non-verizon phone on their network. Your best choice if you want to quit TMO is to choose another GSM carrier (AT&T for example). Your phone also must be sim-unlocked to change carrier.

Thanks guys for the replies, I thought there might be some way to change bands :cyclops: I'm not an expert lol
Looks like I will be switching to ATT
:good::good:
Any way I can make this phone work on Sprint? It is unlocked and I can root it and put a new ROM if necessary. Thanks in advance.
the n910 is a GSM phone, sprint is CDMA, wont work unless you get a phone that supports both CDMA and GSM like the Motorola X Pure
