I saw the Moto G EXT on Consumer Cellular website.
https://www.consumercellular.com/Info/PhoneDetails/619
It looks exactly the same as Moto G (2014). Doesn't anyone know the exact model number on it? Is it the same as the XT1064? Thanks.

Hi diamondjoker5 - does that Moto G EXT from Consumer Cellular have much bloat on it?
I'm a new Consumer Cellular customer and was thinking about getting a Moto G 2014 for my wife. I'd like to ensure timely Android updates and was going to get an unlocked phone directly from Motorola. I don't know if Consumer Cellular will slow down that update process or not.
The only Consumer Cellular app that I'm aware of is My Consumer Cellular, which is actually pretty useful for their customers.

Only thing I see on here is all gapps, + motorola alert app, motorola assist app, motorola migration app, and my consumer cellular app.
Just got the phone unlocked for $2.19 yesterday. Tmobile sim works without any problems.
The real question is what stock rom do you flash it with?

Thanks for the quick update!
What do you do to get the phone unlocked for $2.19?
The other question I'm trying to chase an answer down on is if apps will be able to be moved to SD memory once 5.0 Lollipop comes along. No one may be able to answer that question until after it's released.

I used one of the ebay sellers that offer unlocking services. They go through unlock scout as the provider. Took a couple of hours to get the unlock code.
PM me if you need more details.
From what i remember, once rooted i was able to use link2sd to force move apps and data to sd card on my previous phones.

supposely the AWS one
Was thinking of one of these for my son. They are on Sears site for $133 now.
How is the data speed on T-Mobile, I think it's more optimized for HSPA AT&T so H2O would likely work better.
Can you provide a link of ebay seller through which you have got Moto G - unlocked ?

Can I request a little more info regarding AWS portion? Which exact ROM/modem combo has it? Anyone who recently got Consumer Cellular model and using unlocked with T-mobile can provide an input? Thanks again.
Just wanted to share my experience to help others. I bought the Moto G EXT from Consumer Cellular and it is the exact same hardware as the unlocked Moto G 2nd Gen my wife has. The firmware/ROM is different than the unlocked version. As others have mentioned there really isn't much bloat or anything too crazy. Some features such as tethering have been removed from the settings and the Consumer Cellular app is pre-installed an you cannot remove it. There were some other minor things locked down but nothing major or intrusive.
I wanted to just get the stock image on there just because. Also since there were some changes to the firmware (like removing tethering) I wasn't sure how quickly CC would be updating to Lollipop and wanted to be able to update as soon as I could. I got my unlock code from Motorola and unlocked the bootloader (which to be clear is different than the SIM unlock code mentioned in earlier posts).
I was able to get the Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US firmware installed and everything works as expected; I was back to stock and couldn't find any differences between my phone and my wife's. My only caveat was I was not able to re-lock the bootloader after installing the stock firmware. I thought I would be able too since it would be a stock, signed image from Motorola but I kept getting errors on the phone saying "Failed to validate System Image" and an error on the command line stating "sst lock failure!"
I tried a couple different ways to lock it but never could. I am not sure if I have to get the original firmware from Consumer cellular (I wasn't able to find it) to be able to lock it again, but I am assuming that is what is needed. I forgot to write down the original firmware name was but I know it was different than the System Version that now displays so it must have been a special CC build. Even if I had it I am not sure where I could find it. I searched for a little bit without luck but it is a pretty new phone from CC so maybe with time it will show up.
It isn't that big of a deal to me to run with an unlocked bootloader, but I sort of wish I would have just paid the extra $30 or so and got the unlocked one from Best Buy or Amazon instead of the Moto G EXT from CC so I could lock it if I wanted/needed to.
I got a great deal on the moto g ext at sears for $112(using coupons and surprise points)and $29 shwy points back. The system version is 21.11.23.titan_ccaws_AWSCC.en.US cc, build number KXB21.85-23. The original moto g had instructions stickied in the general forum on how to flash stock firmware without unlocking bootlocker using mfastboot. Could I use those instructions to flash retail firmware for the moto g 2014? Is there stock firmware available for the moto g 2014(xt 1064)? . Any help would be appreciated . My main reason is to get tether option in the settings which is missing from consumer cellular ROM and be able to receive updates from motorola.

@edog11 were you able to find a way to flash without unlocking bootloader?

I used this FAQ for most of my info about this process - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/wip-frequently-questions-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875723 - and there is a link specifically to this page in that FAQ - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657. Some of the flashes got errors on the phone but it all worked just fine even though I received the errors. Wish I would have noted all the different messages on the phone and command line for reference. Now I have my phone setup like I want and don't want to have to go through everything again. Once Lollipop is available for the Moto G 2014 I will be going through the same process and will take better notes.
I have the single SIM US GSM Moto G 2014 (XT1064) so I downloaded the Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US firmware from - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36 - instead of using the link from the guide. If you have a different model you will need a different firmware. Remove the battery cover to find which XTnnnn version you have.
As noted above once you do this you will not be able to re-lock the bootloader. Or maybe I am doing something wrong and that is why I am not able to re-lock. If anyone was able to relock the CC version with the stock firmware please share your steps!

I think you can use the same instructions given for moto g 1st generation and use the moto g 2nd genetation retail AWS firmware. I may wait until there is a consumer cellular firmware for the moto g 2nd generation available in case something goes wrong.
If someone wants to try, here's is link for flashing stock firmware for moto g 1st generation without unlocking bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Here is moto g 2nd generation firmware.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36
Thank you both. Although I have previously rooted and flashed various android phones and tablets, I think I will wait till there is a strong development community for the Moto G, which will be able to help if anything goes wrong during flashing.
I just hope that once Motorola releases the Lollipop update, Consumer Cellular won't be that far behind. Or I'll just flash it at time if Consumer Cellular are lagging behind in update.

I sent an email to CC to see if they will be upgrading to Lollipop and if so how soon. This is the response I received:
"At this time, Consumer Cellular does not support updates for any Android phones that we sell. Upgrading the Operating System on your phone would void the warranty."
I'm wasn't sure if they are saying they do not provide support if I upgrade the phone or if they were saying they will not be upgrading to Lollipop. So I sent another email to verify that they will not be updating the OS and pushing an OTA update to the phone. This is the response I received:
"At this time, Consumer Cellular does not support updates for any Android device that we sell."
It doesn't sounds like they have any plans to upgrade the phone.
That is just too bad.
Now I'll just wait till we have the official Lollipop on the Moto G and then flash the generic unlocked ROM. Keeping it stock till then in case I need to claim warranty.
And to get the official updates from Motorola, all I have to do is to flash the unlocked rom as mentioned by the guide by @bellj949 and I will start getting the OTA updates automatically or will I need to flash the Lollipop rom manually?

CC version is 21.11.23 while the retail verions is 21.11.17. Probably that's why you cannot flash without unlocking the bootloader because the phone sees it as a "downgrade"
Unlocked Moto G 2014 is getting the update today. Is anyone with the CC rom getting the update yet? How about those with stock XT1063 rom and unlocked bootloader, do you get the update?
Hi, I got an AT&T XT1058 from ebay. I'm in teh UK so I'd really like to flash it with a stock UK ROM. I've had a look on here and with the huge amount of info I can't figure out if this is possible and which rom to use. it's 4.4.2 that's on the phone at teh moment which i believe can't be downgraded or unlocked easily, is that right?
any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers
To flash any Rom besides the Stock, Signed Moto ROM for your carrier and model X, you need to unlock the bootloader.
While Moto doesn't give out the Bootloader Unlock Code for the ATT USA XT1058, since you have 4.4.2 on it still, you should be able to use Sunshine to unlock the bootloader. (NOTE: please boot into fastboot/bootloader on the phone, and verify the version on the 2nd line is 30.B4 which is correct for 4.4.2).
Once you use sunshine, you can flash 3rd party recoveries, roms, etc.
While I have NOT done it, I've seen posts of ATT US Xt1058 owners flashing with Parts of the XT1053 rom to remove bloat, etc. (flashing the modems will likely change which wireless bands the phone can connect to). I do not advise flashing another carrier's rom. It could get messy, especially around UPDATE time. And I've seen some lose Cellular and WIFI flashing the wrong modem files.
One final thing. The ATT US XT1058 is SIM/Carrier locked too. So in order to use a non-ATT SIM in it you'll need to obtain a SIM unlock code. You should be able to get this from any web site selling unlock codes on the internet.

To unlock the bootloader on the ATT XT1058 Moto X, there are only two possible ways..
The China Middleman thread (in the general section), although he only has codes for certain date range of phones (depends on the Assembly Date of your phone), BUT he has recently stopped responding again. There is no telling if/when it will start up again
Sunshine, which doesn't work with 4.4.4. However you can always try it since it wont charge you if it doesn't work. (i.e. it checks your phone, if it will work, if wont, it tells you and exits without charging you).
4.4.4 can't be temp rooted either.
So you are pretty much stuck stock ATT, and then just get it sim unlocked to use it with your carrier.

For the Rogers XT1058, Moto does offer the Bootloader Unlock code for free from their web site -> https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth it will void your warranty
The GSM Dev Edtion is the XT1053. It has different radio/modem files, its hardware supports different bands (less LTE bands). I never recommend flashing another model's ROM as we have seen loss of cellular in some cases, where even flashing the original firmware back didn't fix.
Once you unlock your bootloader and root, you can remove and freeze any bloat on the phone (freezing is preferred because the next OTA might require it to be there).

Only if you can't unlock your boot loader. But as I said, moto does give out the unlock codes on their web site for the Rogers xt1058
Also, without unlocking the boot loader, you can only flash the rom for your phone model and its carrier branding.

Thank you for the answers
I knew the second part, was not sure about the first one.

Hi guys,
total n00b question.
A friend of mine brought an AT&T Moto X (1st generation) phone with him for me from the U.S. to Germany.
He bought it from the motorola.com page directly 2 years ago through the Thanksgiving promo, never got it activated and its still stock and everything, never used before.
He paid the full retail price of 400$ at the time, does it however still come with a sim/netlock?
I thought since it didn't come with a contract (where you pay only a few $ and you are bound to a 1y/2y contract) and he paid the full 400$ for it, it doesn't have any sim/net lock?
Sadly I don't have a nano sim card to try it out, before I order one from my carrier I was hoping someone could help me out with this
I know that simlock threads are not allowed, I'm not asking for an unlock, just whether a retail 400$ phone has that lock or not?
Thanks in advance!
If it's stock and on 4.4.2 or below, invest in Sunshine to unlock your bootloader. I'm not sure if AT&T sim-locked their Moto Xs. They should provide the code for free, if necessary, though since the phone was paid in full.
Thanks for the quick reply, already looked into SuneShine for unlocking the BL (its a shame that I didn't pick the T-Mobile version over the AT&T, hmm)
But worth spending another 25$ for it!
Now I'm still curious about the sim/netlock.
From what I found out by googling and reading for hours, if it has a simlock, AT&T will not unlock it cause I've never been a customer and it never was hooked up to an AT&T account, kinda bad if you ask me for a full price cell phone... The T-Mobile version comes 100% sim and BL unlocked...
Moto chat support cant help, they didn't even know that there are different versions of the Moto X 1st Gen...
It's usually less than 20 dollars to unlock them on a website that offers Sim unlocking. Not sure if at&t devices are usually OK to do so, but I would think they are. The carriers usually charge more even... In Canada anyway. ?
OK, thanks a lot!
I'm really just surprised that if you pay the full retail price for a phone it can still be sim/netlocked...
Hope you guys don't mind asking me another few questions, I'm just transiting over from my Razr I so a few things are different
If I don't need a custom recovery but planning on installing a different official Moto firmware which is signed by Moto (would love to flash the EU firmware to have full German language support) do I still need to unlock the BL or will this work with a locked BL since its an official Moto firmware?
Also are there any files I should not flash, therefore remove from the xml?
And I know that the BL unlock has nothing to do with the sim unlock, but any change if I unlock the BL and flash a different firmware, I won't need to enter a sim unlock code then?
I'm just trying to get as many answers before I try it and find out the "hard" way it won't work and that it results in a completely bricked device in the end...
AND sorry, but another question
Are the LTE bands hardware or software coded? Cause we use different bands over here in Europe and I know from the Sony Z1C you can activate all bands software-wise, so I was thinking maybe its the same with the Moto X?
Thanks again!

Wrong section, This is the 2013 section. And this thread has nothing to do with your question, that's called thread hijacking.
So you should go to the Moto X 2014 section, and if you don't see a thread on the same sort of topic.... Then post your own thread in the Q&A section. ?
So I read an insane number of pages and somewhere I found this great page:
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/?#/
Long story short, I reveived a nano sim card today, AT&T Moto X is locked, contacted AT&T via the above mentioned website, it took 2 days and today I received my sim unlock code via email from AT&T for free, no account with them needed and it works!

With the bootloader on the ATT XT1058 being locked, you'll only be able to flash Moto Signed Roms for your phone's CID or carrier branding. You will not be able to flash the XT1052 EU rom, or other X roms. Only the ATT XT1058.
If you are lucky and your ATT XT1058 has not yet been upgraded to Android 4.4.4 and bootoader 30.B7, you should be able to use JCase's Sunshine tool to unlock the bootloader. Note: Because this is a HACK, do NOT try to re-lock the bootloader after using it, or you will be permanently bootloader locked.

I don't believe flashing a different ROM would give you SIM unlock.
You're only option is getting it from the Carrier if you meet their terms/conditions. Or buying a SIM unlock code from an online seller.

I've read different things. So I can't say for sure which is correct.
I know that the Verizon X, XT1060, initially game supporting only LTE Band 13. Band 4 was later enabled by firmware update.
But I've also seen posts of some losing their entire cellular radio when flashing other model's full roms, and not getting it back by flashing the correct rom. (I don't recall the full details, sorry!).
On other phones, I've seen things like "edits" to turn on other bands. But no so for the 2013 X.
So I wouldn't mess with it.
Thanks for the explanations @KidJoe
Until know I didn't know that a signed Moto firmware is not just bound to the model but also to a CID, always thought you could flash any region firmware over the phone as long as its the same model.
Sunshine is def. an option, I didn't take the OTA (even thou it reminds me at least once a day cause I suspected already there would be more exploits available with a lower android OS.
SIM unlock is no problem anymore, AT&T provided me the unlock key via website request (took me a while to find that link, thou) and you don't need to have an account with them and the phone does NOT need to be hooked to an AT&T contract.
About the LTE bands:
OK, I don't want to mess with the modem / radio and lose all bands in the end but could I just flash the system files from the EU version via fastboot?
Which files should I flash and which files should I avoid flashing?
Basicially what I'm trying to achieve is getting German as android language and not just have German as keyboard language.
Or is German included in the CM11 as well cause then I imagine it would be much easier to just flash CM11 without damaging any bands...
All in all, I'm just looking for a fully stable KK OS that is in German
Thanks again for your replies!

You could try using mFastboot and flash only System.img... BUT!!!! Its going to cause issues with OTA updates, and having mismatched parts always increases the risks for bricking and/or things just not working correctly!! So I usually don't recommend mixing things up.

Basicially what I'm trying to achieve is getting German as android language and not just have German as keyboard language.
Or is German included in the CM11 as well cause then I imagine it would be much easier to just flash CM11 without damaging any bands...
All in all, I'm just looking for a fully stable KK OS that is in German
Thanks again for your replies!

I've not messed with adding additional languages. Nor have I used CM as I like my Moto features too much, and stock (rooted) runs just fine here.
Guys as stated above, I purchased an unlock key but it always comes back as unsuccessful. Idl like to ask what ussd code work on moto x to see what is in there. And if anyone successfully beat this prob.
Phone is bootloader unlocked and all stock.
Thanks

Where did you purchase your code from?
Exactly what steps are you taking to sim unlock?
I purchased a code from a third party unlocker I used many times before. i spoke to Rogers and the imei is definitely not black listed or on any blocked list. Moto says that if I get both option to enter sim lock and dismiss it, phone is not hard locked.
Not sure what gives, as soon as i eject the sim and put it back on Moto x asks for sim network unlock code, i input it and I get network unlock request unsuccessful. There is no countdown on tries being displayed. It gets back to asking for code.

Not sure, other than possibly having a wrong, or incomplete code?
yeah that is a possibility I am working to eliminate by trying to request another code from a different vendor.
a shot in the dark here:
Could flashing a different radio reset the hard lock? assuming the moto x i have is hard locked.
If say flashing xt 1053 radio on xt 1058 is not risky, I can give it a shot to see if i can get sim unlocked, the revert back to xt 1058 radio.
Thoughts please

I haven't kept up on which radios it is safe to "cross flash" to another model phone. So I really can't advise you.
I do know XT1052 isn't compatible with xt1053. and flashing an XT1052 with xt1053 radio will cause the radio to stop working. (as I've seen posts about this).
Only thinking of resetting the hard lock if it is hard locked, and reverting back to xt 1058 radio.

Did you ever try the flashing to XT1053 followed by XT1058 ROM trick? Just curious because my 1058 can't seem to get unlocked and I'm not sure if it's because it's hardlocked or the code is wrong (though both AT&T and a 3rd party vendor provided the same code).
I no longer have that xt1058, that thing was stubborn as hell. I didnt flash all xt1053 rom however i remember flashing like radio i believe. No matter what I did, that thing was shut, unable to get unlocked.
You case is like mine, code is correct but cant get unlocked. Your best bet is to talk to the carrier if you can and if you are a subscriber coz otherwise they ll play ping pong with you. They ll send you to Moto and Moto will send you to the carrier if the phone is branded.
Good luck man
ok so cleaning my house the other day i came across a old phone of mine the Moto X XT1093 Variant (US Cellular) so as i suspected i had unlocked the BL in the past and installed TWRP and i had the stock 5.1 rom and it was rooted, i guess at some point i also installed Xposed Framework...anyways...according to the US Cellular website, this phone is already sim unlocked...so i was thinking , ok cool i can pop a sim from some random prepaid CDMA carrier and it should work...well i flashed dirty unicorns 6.0 xt1095 rom on it and its stable, the US Cellular sim is still in there and its getting a data signal, obviosuly account is off, but then i started reading and i got worried...is it even possible to flash another rom on this phone and it work? like i mean this is a CDMA phone, but i read that all XT1095 is GSM, so is there some rom i can flash that will support some sorta CDMA prepaid? any help or advice here would be appreciated....

I use it with the At&t prepaid sim. I'll look and see if I have some of the files I used to lock on the cdma networks...
