what is the difference between the xt1050 and the xt 1060, i see on ebay theres a listing for motherboards rot $29 model # xt1050 listed as a generic cdma model, phonearena has no listing on the xt1050, did google search and found link that suggest its not compatible in the us. it it possible to install the xt1050 board in device for sell in the us as a cdma device?
Don't bet on it!

I can partially answer that. the xt1050 is a device sold by 'regional carriers'. for example, I have an xt1050 but which was sold by alltel. there are other xt1050 models sold by Inland Cellular, Illinois Valley Cellular etc. Basically the xt1050 was the model sold by very small cellular companies. I can't vouch for other models besides the one i have but my alltel xt1050 was able to be unlocked officially via moto website. I was also able to install twrp on it.
But it gets more complex. There are apparently different firmware versions for each different xt1050 model. see this page here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/94927/p/30,6720,8696 (under ACG Regional Carriers). Now what, if anything, is different between the different firmware numbers... I've no idea.
Finally, according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56803257&postcount=60 the xt1050 actually shares the same fcc number as the xt1060. This is pretty much all the info I've gathered.

Can someone, say whether xt1060 is easier to root and cheaper than the former?
The 1050 is an AT&T, with 1060 being Verizon, which is more likely to cause less problemsin EU over the course of its use?

I have found that XT1060 means Verizon carrier - read it from a thread on somewhere of the 4rum.
I am owning that one using out of the US and everyting works fine for me now.
Rooting is just like playing around with the Rom there is nothing else.
A custom rom lacks Moto features, such as: active display, spotty, etc - a big dÃappointment!
Android L is pretty good with material design, but that is the only thing.

I am finding it hard to believe that Verizon phones are working worries free outwith the US with European. if I recall correctly Europe being Gsm network where Verizon phones are the other one. I really don't know, I will be going for AT&T over Verizon despite it's lack of customizability. Very disappointing ****!

All Verizon LTE phones come SIM unlocked, meaning that they work fine on GSM carriers. The only problem that might show up is that LTE bands will likely not match, meaning the device is limited to HSPA+.
As for which is easier to root, the Verizon one will not be easy to root unless it's a developer edition. The XT1050 might be easily rootable, but there may be trouble using it on GSM carriers. It is not the ATT version of the X, rather it is the version used for smaller regional US carriers. The ATT version of the X is the XT1058 (also the version number for the Rogers Canada model). If I remember right, there are a few threads of people having problems SIM unlocking the XT1050 to use with carriers other than US Cellular (but you might need to search that info out).

Yes, I am referring to x1058, respectivelly At&T, I have no knowledge over a 1060, as the supplier only does 1058 and the Verizon one. With that being said, and by you marking Verizon bootloader unlockable, I guess I have no choice but to go with the AT&T and get a sunrise right after. ****e!
ps/ The dealer does infact says the Verizon one comes sim unlocked, but still the lack of customizability renders it rather unattractive in my mind!

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The XT1060 is the Verizon Moto X model number, the XT1050 is not. I believe the XT1050, which is used for regional carriers, has CDMA capabilities like the Verizon model (again, the XT1060). If it's still on 4.4.2, the Verizon model can be unlocked via Sunshine as well, but your best bet for compatibility is the AT&T 1058, since it has the widest range of LTE bands. Good luck!

I use gsm in Europe without problems.
Try, but first save the contents of your folder carrier.
LS991 + ZV6 + Cricket/T-mobile
I have problems .
does not disconnect the call.
It does not work data transmission
Cool. how did you guys unlock? Will sprint give me the code. I looked up the specs on the g4 and it has all the frequencies and bands that t-mobile uses. I was just hoping someone could confirm 100% before I left sprint.
I wonder what needs to be changed to get it to disconnect and pick up data?
A friend of mine is selling his T-Mobile g4 and I'd like to use it on att. Is there a way to unlock the att bands on the g4 ? I know the HTC variants of phones are basically all the same and easy to make them work with other carriers. Is the g4 similar?

T-Mobile should unlock it for him upon request. From stock, there's a T-Mobile app to SIM unlock the device from T-Mobile. Have him unlock it from T-Mobile and you'll be fine. You shouldn't have issues.
Looking to upgrade to an LG G4 and I know the H811 is easier for rooting and flashing.
Does anyone know if an unlocked H811 will work on cricket wireless?
Sorry if the info is somewhere already but I've looked and can't find any straight answer.
cricket wireless uses cdma phones I think so no go on the t-moblie version.

If your H811 G4 is sim unlocked it should work with Cricket as it uses the same GSM network technology. Cricket is the best prepaid cell provider because its prices are low and it is owned by AT&T and uses same cell towers. I had them for a year and their service is 100 times better than T-Mobile. Only reason I switched to tmo was for unlimited data. But now Cricket has unlimited data too.

I haven't purchased my G4 yet but now I'm thinking maybe I should get an unlocked T-Mobile G4 because of the unlocked bootloader. Should work with cricket as a lot of unlocked T-Mobile phones do.
And I'm on cricket's unlimited plan I can use a lot of data in month.

The Global H815 is unlocked from factory. I'd rather get that unless you know 100% the Tmo h811 is unlocked.

Hello XDA,
Do we know if we are able to flash the firmware of another carriers to the LG G6? I remember we were able to do that with the S6/S7 so that Wifi Calling and VoLTE would be fixed for users on Tmobile using an unlocked phone (Sprint unlocked phone etc). Since they had the same physical hardware.
I'll be getting a Sprint LG G6 from my job but I have tmobile, I can get it unlocked thats not a problem, but I need Wifi Calling to work. Has anyone tried to flash another carriers firmware on their LG G6 // do we know if they are the same hardware wise? Thanks in advance guys!
Is Sprint using GSM now?

The devices have been GSM capable since the S3. NVTOOLs usually has some flags you can flip to enable the bands/radio. Of course it needs to be clean ESN with Sprint, and internationally unlocked from Sprint.
Does any one know what i need to do to get my sprint lg g6 working on other carriers sprint says its unlocked but when i put at&t sim card in it does not register

Did Sprint just say it's unlocked or did they give you a code? From what I know they are suppose to give an unlock codes for Android devices and for iPhones they just unlock them. Your phone is suppose to prompt you when you put a different carrier SIM in and once you out that code in your permanent unlocked.
Can anyone second this?
I wouldn't trust Sprint. They need to give you the unlock code. I found someone to pay to do it. There are very few.
