been searching a bit, but having difficulty narrowing down what specific terms to use.. could anyone tell me what the model# for a moto x (2014) purchased unlocked from motorola.com in the USA would be? wondering because I'm looking to purchase while here for use in canada on bell mobility, and from doing a bit of digging it seems there are about 6 models, and most but not all would work for 2g/3g/4g with bell mobility?

You actually can go into Wind Mobile though and grab one depite it being an XT1097, and it is unlocked. Pretty sure the Telus one is too. My friend picked up the wind mobile one, which is the XT1097 and walked over to bell and popped in a sim and it works just fine.

cellunlocker [.net] costs $8 usd and it's what we're all using. I personally unlocked two Rogers Moto X using it, and others on this forum said the same thing. There's already a thread for unlocking, read that one instead.

My curiosity is, if you unlock the AT&T version, will it work on T-Mobile's LTE network as well?
It should. I've used Xperia with no issues on TMo. Does cellunlocker work realiably for AT&T version?
I have heard about Roger's X being unlocked. But so far it seems nobody can confirm that AT&T moto maker ones can be unlocked. Or am I totally out off the loop?
Finally! With Motomaker's AT&T off-contract device available for purchase now, I understand that the SIM can be unlocked for use on non-AT&T networks. Does that mean it can even be used internationally? European and Asian networks?

I used cellunlocker to unlock my AT&T Moto X. Worked without any problems. Had unlock code in about an hour after placing order. Once unlocked, the Moto X works perfectly on TMO LTE network.

Keep in mind that the AT&T version lacks the 1700 UMTS band, which means that if you're in an area where TMobile hasn't reframed (to use the 1900 band) you won't have 3G coverage. Basically you'll be switching between LTE and 2G in those areas, and considering TMo's LTE coverage that could be a problem. Get the TMo version unless you plan to travel to/live in Puerto Rico or Chile (according to Wikipedia...).

What are you talking about? T-Mobile doesn't offer ANY Motorola phones, let alone Moto X.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Check their stores or the website. You can get a non-carrier branded unlocked phone directly from Google for $400-450 depending on the config.
Anybody knows if there is a way to unlock Moto X for free?http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Thanks.
I found an XT1053 on eBay with a spanish user manual. Bought it assuming the bootloader would be unlockable on the motorola site but I was wrong. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 lists the supported devices but "Latin America" doesn't get too specific.
Anyone know how we can determine which devices can be bootloader unlocked? I'd hate to go through this again. Maybe I should have just spent the extra $100 for a t-mobile version... I sure do like the lack of carrier branding on this device.
A better way to answer would be:
All but Verizon and AT&T.

Sadly, it's not that simple. This is not an AT&T (XT1058) or Verizon (XT1060) but an XT1053. I believe it's a Nextel Moto X. It has a spanish manual, defaulted to spanish when setting it up, has an unused SIM card that says Nextel.
It was not able to be bootloader unlocked on the motorola site.

Cool. I thought I saw it with a T-Mobile logo on the back somewhere online but I could certainly be mistaken. There are no carrier apps installed on the T-Mobile version?
I think I'll just resell this one and buy the tmo or dev edition new straight from Motorola. Don't want to mess with eBay over and over trying to get one whose bootloader can be unlocked. I thought it was "not AT&T or Verizon" too but now I see that's not the case and it may just be a north american-centric view of the situation...

double check, but I'm 99% sure. they weren't even selling it in stores or on their own website as far as I know. no physical branding or software I'm pretty sure.
I tried looking at Ebay, Kijiji, and Craigslist but I can't find it anywhere other than on the Motorola website which sells it for 600 USD and doesn't ship to Canada.
Can the XT1058 version be unlocked to work with AWS?

The XT1058 only supports LTE on the AWS band. It won't work with Wind or Mobilicity. Only the XT1058 is certified for sale in Canada so you'll need to import an XT1053 if you want one. As to where to get it from, well ebay, etc I suppose.
Now I'm stuck having to choose between:
the phone I always hoped someone would create
vs
the carrier that gives me everything for so little (Wind)
I hear ya, I'm on the Koodo SK plan so its pretty affordable. I'm still looking into flashing the XT1058 with the full XT1053 firmware. I've been told both that it will work and that it will brick my phone. If it does successfully flash I think its unlikely that wcdma on the AWS band will magically work but I'd sure like to verify for certain.
If you spend enough time looking I'd sure you'll find an XT1053 eventually.(its worth the wait!)
not too many people i'm guessing are buying the t-mobile edition for full cost or the DEV GSM edition which is more or less the same then selling on ebay.
your other route could be to buy a mexico nextel edition (which can't bootloader unlock it seems). some people on ebay are selling those and they are unlocked SIM, they are XT1053 though, but the updates would have to be whatever build that model uses.
i think they go for around $500

Just a note , I have the Rogers 1058 and I can flash the T-Mobile touched Roms. You can not however flash the fxz firmware through rsdlite, chances are you'll have a very expensive but small glass cutting board, you could always sell it to rob ford for cutting and snorting his daily dose of cocaine

I've had someone tell me they flashed the .fxz file with rsdlite and the phone still worked. They put the retail flash(used for tmobile, XT1053) into XT1058 hardware. However there is no report on if it happened to enable wcdma on the AWS band. I'm not going to try it with my daily use Moto X however they are getting cheaper by the day on craigslist so I may buy one to experiment with in the near future.

The XT1053 I bought through Motomaker works great for me on Koodo (aka Telus). Rogers and Bell also use LTE band 4, Rogers also uses band 17, so it should work on those networks as well. My recent speedtest results were: 5ms ping, 53Mbps down, 24Mbps up.

Hey all.
I ordered a moto X about 2 weeks ago, i got the unlocked Tmobile version that was on sale for 350$
anyway i live abroad and i was sure that i would be able to use the phone here (like the moto G) but i cant, it seems that the phone is ONLY unlocked for US carriers.
So my questions are:
1) is there an easy way for me to unlock it Globally for free? (Tmobile said they can do it but only from a store in the US).
2) I saw people can buy unlock codes, but my phone does not show that it is unlocked so i'm not sure if that will work..?
Any help would be very appreciated!
Tevie.
If you have the tmobile version then the phone is already sim/provider unlocked.
Which phone exactly did you get and what specific problem are you having?

The problem is that its not unlocked for Sim abroad, only in the U.S . I wanted to know how I can get it to work with a Sim not from the U.S
TMO version is supposed to be unlocked for any carrier. How do you know that it is not the case? Did you try to put non-US SIM card and it failed?

Thanks for the replay's.
I did put a local Sim in the phone and it could not register to a local networked (the same Sim worked in a different phone )
Note that it found the local networks just can't log to them.
Note 2 . TM told me that its locked for use abroad ...
It is 100% unlocked, there is no partial lock on the phone. If the phone can't register with your provider there is a different problem not related to sim locking.
I'm using my T-Mobile X in the Caribbean all fine with no hiccups or issues. Maybe it needs the APN.

Does it jsut show the 4G symbol or the 4G with the small LTE next to it? If you have HSPA service, you will see 4G.

I just input the given unlock code they gave me and it worked on the 1st time. I do not live in the US, however my local carrier here pretty much uses the same bands as at&t. I've read that users have issue with trying to get it to work on T-Mobile network after updating it to lollipop. Might want to double check your APN settings or maybe there's a bad coverage in your area?

I cannot confirm a fix for that because i do not stay in the United States. Try downloading an app called secret phone info in the playstore. You will be able to switch the network from the default gsm/LTE to wdcma preferred. I found this that I'm able to get better cell reception. Maybe try calling T-Mobile or keep searching in google. If I'm not mistaken theres a slight hardware difference between the T-Mobile (pure edition) and AT&T variant regarding the bands it supports.
