I am currently using a VZW non dev edition, WITH a unlocked bootloader. I use t-mobile for my service now. As with any other VZW moto x on t-mobile, I cannot use the LTE portion of the network without losing the ability to make phone calls and send text messages. I gather from countless days of digging that its related to LTE -> CDMA handoff. I see more than a few times that its possibly a motorola issue. My question is as follows:
Can I, and more importantly, can I SAFELY RSD the t-mobile SBF files into this phone?
Has anyone tried this and did it fix the problem?
If it wont take am I looking at a brick right off that bat or can I RSD the VZW sbf's back into the phone?
I saw recently a post about flashing Dev Edition firmware into a AT&T moto x.
I am competent with all the tools and the process itself, I would rather hear from more learned peoples before I start experimenting with something that will brick my phone....
Thanks for taking the time to read, any input at all is greatly appreciated!

Hey,
While I don't have ton of experience with the above mentioned situation. If you're gonna try I would say being wiping the cache and falshing the system only to see if it sticks.
I've read around that flashing other carriers software can hard brick. I've seen specific mention of incompatible modems and of course bootloaders (please stay away from flashing other carriers bootloaders)
Also you gotta check the stickies! Great info and better help sometimes, You may want to refer your question Resource Guide Way better answers there.
Maybe that will get you an answer.

You can RSD the tmo factory SBF without issue. When I did it I just edited the XML to avoid flashing the bootloader. My vzw dev ed moto x now works perfectly on tmo. Of course, do so at your own risk.

You, Sir, are THE MAN! Your post is exactly what I was looking for, is there any way I can get you to post your edited XML, or what line you removed, I am so excited to finally solve this problem! Thanks again!
Edit: CONFIRMED WORKING ON NON DEV EDITION VZW MOTO X.....I removed the getvar line and the motoboot line (bootloader) from the .xml ZERO errors during rsd flash, and phone now WORKS!!!! I cannot thank you enough my friend, if you are ever in texas the beer is on me! Let this be a ref. for anyone looking to take the VZW MOTO X to T-Mobile.

Glad it worked for you too! I was just about to reply with the actual lines to delete, but it looks like you got the 2 that I deleted. For all I know, the bootloaders are the same, but I didn't want to find out the hard way by risking a brick. It blows my mind that we can use a Verizon phone on T-Mobile, and be fully functional except for 3G on the AWS band. I originally bought the Verizon Moto X with the intention of switching to Verizon, but then got cold feet after testing with a Verizon SIM from work.

if you need to "redo the activation after you install the update" (as per the helpful steps found elsewhere here), does that means all the phone activation steps or does it mean the pageplus activation itself (or both)?
I updated to 905 and lost all service. stock bionic.
I'm trying to get my bionic working on page plus with ICS. So far i've found a guide on the howardforums, but it's not exactly noob friendly, keep getting stuck. Anyone know of a better guide anywhere?

I picked up an Sprint HTC One that had been flashed to NTelos (East coast carrier) and would like to flash it back to Sprint. I called Sprint and they verified that the IMEI # was clean and could be activated back onto sprint. Honestly I am not looking to activate the phone on sprint but temporarily to T-Mobile and shortly to a UK Cellular company. We are only in the US for another 12 days and I think that having the phone on Ntelos will potentially mess up the global capabilities of this phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Get root then sim unlock the device. It wont screw up anything. (If you want to sim unlock, there is a guide in general.)

Thanks for the info but I have been trying to get root access and it won't let me get past the recovery area. When I choose recovery it doesn't allow me to choose to install any thing, when I choose recovery it immediately does a restart with the red triangle. Please forgive me if I am missing something simple, I am still very much a noob but know just enough to get me in trouble. Thanks for the info.

This will take a lot of space so can we Message from here on out. I will send you a PM with some instructions as I assume that this is okay.
Fact that the phone powers on at all and you can get into fastboot, you are not bricked. A brick is when there is no activity at all. AKA, when your bootloader no longer works.
I have a US Cellular Moto X XT1093. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Okay so I have looked up online and found several sixes with clearing the data out of the phone menu also the SIM Toolkit the bootloader ect.... I've done them all with no success! I would just do a factory reset if i had any chance of recovering my business files from the device after. since i have no chance of that I'm turning here. Please help and thanks in advance if your able

I Need Help... Few days ago I bought Lg V40 Think At&t locked network phone and it was on Android 8.1 Oreo. I wanted to update it to Android 10 somehow I came to know that we can update through lgup. But I accidently flashed Verizon kdz and now I get to know that we can't flash At&t kdz as its not available anywhere.
Now my phone is not asking for network unlock code as it asked on previous firmware At&t. But Sim is also not Working and also giving nt-code carrier unmatched error message whenever I restart Phone.
I found it on xda that Nt code error can be fixed by flashing v405ebw rom as someone else also faced this error and fixed Nt code error by flashing v405ebw.
Now to Main Question Can I unlock network now after crossflashing the kdz my previous network was At&t

Well first, the nt-error code thing, no, you do not have to flash ebw rom to fix that, that's a misunderstanding and the post you read the person may not have made that part clear.
The nt-error code is pretty easily fixed, but, it has zero effect. It does absolutely no harm, and it only happens when you boot the phone. So, if you are thinking that somehow is contributing to your problem, no, it is not.
So your problem though is a pretty big one, as you suspect. You have to have the at&t variant rom for it to ask for the code, but the at&t kdz doesn't exist. I'd suggest join the tele group for v40, they have people there that have been through this problem, and pretty sure there's a backup of at&t there also. You would probably have to use qfil and flash ea partition one by one, but at least you'd get it back, the rom that is.
cheers

Yes that's the backup of Q. The person said 'horrible' just because it's at&t, that's all, not anything to do with the quality of the backup.
Many people have used that backup and it's worked for them.

There's really no guide specifically for this, just look in the guides section and get qfil set up and working. Then, simply unzip the att rom file and begin flashing ea individual partition to the appropriate partition in qfil.
