The xt1053 is compatible. For the others, I don't think so. Most Aosp Roms are unified meaning compatible with all. But check to make sure before flashing.

Be careful when using non-XT1058 roms, or roms from other carriers. If they contain the modem files, they could impact your phone's radio and available bands.
i.e. in the USA, the XT1058 and XT1053 support different bands. From what I understand the XT1058 used by Rogers Wireless supports different bands than the ATT XT1058 from the USA, and so on. While band support is based on hardware, the modem files included in full roms (SBF files) and some OTA updates can/will have an impact too.

Hello,
You picked the correct device. I recommend that once you root your phone and install a custom recovery (TWRP) you should try CyanogenMod for your ROM. Then if you still want to do more modifications you can use Busy box.
Good lucky!

is it possible to flash a radio file/ whatever so that an 801N which appears to be the same part number and same modem for europe and US versions so the LTE bands can be changed from US to Europe versions?

No reply?
I assume this means that it is not possible to flash different radio firmware to change the operating frequencies on weither 3g or 4g bands?
Can someone please give me an opinion?
maybe possible?
should be possible?
its be done on other HTCs?
or im out of luck it will never happen because....?
Bump...

This is a VERY good question, one to which I can't seem to find an answer either on these forums.
For month now I've been hoping that the great minds of the XDA pantheon would have found a way for us to flash, say, an EU radio firmware on a HTC One Developer Edition to enable the EU frequency bands (perhaps while dropping the US bands, I couldn't care less), but I can't seem to find anyone who's ever attempted it with any success.
I'm just pining for that Dev Ed in all it's glory with EU freq bands...
Some say it's hardware, but I just can't seem to believe that HTC would go through all the trouble of creating different hardware for each worldly region. It's far simpler to just build the same device for all and then start locking bands.
What I *did* find was that the Qualcomm chipset should allow for all required freqs, it's just not "enabled".
But perhaps I should stop dreaming ?
Kind regards,
Lander.
Hello dear friends, Ive been wondering if it's possible that I flash a XT1053 (also D.E.) firmware onto my XT1060 Verizon D.E. and it would become a XT1053 handset for use on GSM networks? Sorry in advance if my question is too silly, but I have searched much for a week now without no any clear answer. Thank you very much too pay attention to my question?
You probably can, but you would get no service since the Verizon Version es CDMA and the XT1053 Version is GSM. But I think I heard that if you edit the Build.prop lines you can probably get service. Also this shouldn't go in the Development Forum, you should move this to the Q&A Forum.

Maybe if u edit the .xml to avoid flash the modem

You can definitely flash foreign builds onto the XT1060 Dev Edition. I was in fact running the German build of 4.4.2 on my XT1060 because there is no bloat to mess with. I've switched to the T-Mo 4.4.2 build now so I can use faux kernel but thats beside the point. I have no problem using these builds on Verizon's network as long as I have LTE/CDMA selected as the network mode (instead of LTE/GSM).
BUT
You can only flash system, boot, and motoboot to my knowledge. I haven't flashed any of the others because I haven't wanted to take the chance and have to spend time fixing it if something goes wrong. If you know how to use fastboot to flash specific files then you're golden.
If you want to use your XT1060 on GSM networks, then flashing system, boot, and motoboot from a T-Mo or foreign build will help you in that department. The VZW firmware doesn't have a lot of options for GSM networks (network modes, APN settings etc.) but the GSM builds do.

Thank you guys!
These info are surely helpful to me. As for my case, I'm going to receive a Verizon Moto X Xt1060 from my brother, but my network in here (outside of US) is GSM. Though my brother told me Verizon Moto X is a dual network handset and it supports GSM carriers, but through searching I read that it's right that it is able to work on GSM networks but not fully, especially 4G LTE and some other value-added services. Well, the only two things I need to be clear is whether XT1060 works perfectly in voice calls, 4G LTE, sms, mms... and other GSM stuff. A friend told me that by flashing a XT1053 firmware which is original GSM, my phone would become full GSM handset, no longer Verizon or any CDMA at all.
Well, anyone else please confirm this for me? Any dear friend have been using XT1060 with identical issue as my case? Many thanks again.
can someone make a guide for flashing foreign builds on different variants will be highly appreciated :good:
Hi, can i change the modem? I need LTE band 1800... Thanks..
Dude. You PM'd me TWICE and made a thread. Not cool.
so everyone can see... I replied to your PM with the following response...
IF the hardware is not there to support it, flashing the modems from another model wont help you gain support for additional bands.
Sorry.
And we've also seen reports of flashing modem files meant for another phone cause the radios to stop working. So BE CAREFUL!!!!
Most posts I am seeing about unlocking bootloader and custom roms are for XT1921-5. I cannot seem to find this phone anywhere. Is this the USA variant? The closest I have found is the XT1921-3 (Boost Mobile) variant here
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/boost-...mory-cell-phone-black/6221728.p?skuId=6221728
Would I able to bootloader unlock and install custom roms on this? I'm looking for a backup phone that has LTE 2,4,5,12,13,17,25,26,41,66 bands and this one is perfect but I need to know if I will be able to unlock bootloader and install custom rom.
I can't find any good information about the different variants and what models support what bands and which models can be rooted.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks

I'm just doing "get a free phone from MetroPCS" due diligence so I don't have the phone in hand, but it looks like the XT1921-3 is actually the T-Mobile/MetroPCS (USA) version, which has been problematic for ppl. Good news is that it now has a factory image available (see thread here, although no clear reports on that yet . . . one seems to imply there was a problem with it, but I'm not totally clear).
So I'm not by any means an expert on Motorola firmware, but I'd be surprised if Boost (CDMA, right?) had the same model # as T-Mobile (GSM)--and I'm a little overtired but didn't see any note of the Motorola model # on the Best Buy link you provide.
In any case, not sure about bands and such, but hope that tidbit helps a little, in case you do in fact need something for the T-Mobile variant (-3), or if it's the same as Boost and I'm just a moron.

I have the B/DS version. Is it possible to flash it with U/U1 rom and have it work or no?
Thanks,

The problem in your use case brother is you're running the international phone which has an exynos processor, and the U1 Rom is running on Snapdragon hardware which was issued in the US. Your model won't run the US rom it's for a different hardware.
That being said, why do you want the US rom? What is it that isn't working as you would prefer with your current rom - because there may be a more optimal configuration amongst the many options on that internaional device which you could change your CSC to fairly easily with a couple Samkey credits - that will let you do whatever you're wanting the US ROM to do. I've heard people have been using the Indonesia locale 'cus it has native call record... Perhaps US English set as default language in your device and keyboard + a different CSC will accomplish what youre trying to do anyway. Good luck!
