HI,
Can someone please confirm whether or not the Motomaker version of the TMobile Moto X is carrier locked or not?
In other words will it work on AT&T out the box like the non-motomaker TMobile Moto X's did?
Also, does this have the correct bands to work on AT&T LTE?
Much appreciated
Its comes unlocked
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.

Does anyone have the Republic Wireless Moto X running on AT&T and is ok?
Just received a RW Moto X and realized I purchased it from them instead of AT&T on the Moto Maker site.
It is on 4.2.2 and I was seeing if I should even pursue rooting and flashing a new rom onto it that would allow the changing of the network technology (GSM vs CDMA, etc.)
Thanks in advance for the help!

Nope, if you don't plan to use Republic you should return it instead. The RW Moto X will only operate on RW. You cannot bootloader-unlock it, and you cannot SIM-Unlock it. That phone can only ever been used on Republic Wireless.
P.S. When you re-order your new phone, I highly suggest buying the T-Mobile version instead. The T-Mobile variant comes SIM-Unlocked and is Bootloader-Unlockable. You can use it straight out-of-the-box on AT&T or T-Mobile.
If you buy the AT&T Variant, it comes SIM-Locked to AT&T (and you will have to buy/obtain a SIM-Unlock code if you ever want to use it on another carrier), and you cannot unlock the bootloader either.
Additionally, the T-Mobile variant supports all of the frequencies AT&T (and T-Mobile) currently use in the United States.
Good Luck

Thank you for the honest and straight forward post. The T-Mobile version it is.
I will be ordering again shortly.
Thanks again!

Some additions to what @samwathegreat has already said...
There were some who were successful in using the 3rd party Chinese Website/Middleman to BUY the boot loader unlock code for the Republic Wireless X. BUT he is right in that no one has been able to SIM unlock them, so they will only work on Republic Wireless.
If you are going to get the GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM), which is AKA the T-Mobile version, from MotoMaker, just know that if you want to unlock its bootloader (if you want to root), while Moto will give you the unlock code for FREE on their web site, requesting the bootloader unlock code voids its warranty. So compare the price of that model, to the GSM Developer Edition X. While you can't customize its look (Dev Ed ships only as black face, woven white back, silver accents {buttons and camera ring}, and 32gig), unlocking its bootloader doesn't void the warranty. Internal hardware and functionality wise, the GSM Dev Edition and the GSM Unlocked are the same phone.
Got the code right from Motorola. Is this normal? Did I miss something or is it still supposed to be really hard to do on the Moto X?
Also, have any breakthroughs been made as far as SIM unlock goes?
Not sure about your carrier... But many Moto X's can be unlocked on the Moto site. At the sacrifice of the warranty, aside from Dev Edition. And most Sims can be unlocked on an unlock website.
I have the x1058, Rogers version. Unlocked bootloader and sim unlocked for 12 bucks from a site.... The night I got it.
?
Verizon, at&t and Republic wireless can't be unlocked on moto site. That's all.
I''m planning on trading my PS3 with my friend for his Moto X 2014 AT&T version. My question is would it work on the T-mobile network and which website should I use to get the unlock code.

hey there is this cool new website to help you check if your phone will work with a different carrier http://www.willmyphonework.net/ and from what I know no you cant unlock that phone or root it but it still might work with T-Mobile I have no idea.
Yes, you can unlock your phone to use it on t-mobile network. I use it with tmobile.
You should pay for this, for me was $13, you just need to install an app. Moto x Unlock.
