The only carrier locked phone is from AT&T. There are no specific ROMs for carriers. All the same. The only thing you have to be careful of is if it's an AT&T variant, is it still carrier locked to AT&T.
Two quick checks: If it's an AT&T device, it should have the AT&T logo on the back, unless the owner has replaced it. But the real test is to insert your TMO SIM card and see if you get a "device locked" popup on the screen.

There are and there aren't. All ROMs will work on both models of the phone (North American and International) however, For Verizon and T-Mobile, if you use a generic ROM, You'll lose some features (VoLTE and WiFi Calling respectively).
@marcos600rr - Please can you try to make thread titles more descriptive? As this is a Q&A forum, needing help is kind of implied

Hi everyone, i got a question, i hope someone can help me whit this,

I would suggest flashing only the rogers system.img and keep you existing modem intact. There's several folks who have had no data connections after flashing the entire sbf firmware from other carriers. Always use your native modem.
Which carrier are you on?
Which firmware are you running now?

In fact my original model are 1058 .... First i flash at&t in 4.2.2 later flash tmovil and get the 4.4.2 ota, now my phone got the 1053 model number... Whatever.... In both cases i got all signal and no issues with 4g bands... I known the rogers modem are compatible with the chilean network so thats not will be a proble.. My concern is not brick my phone D:

So you're already on 4.4.2? Why the Rogers firmware?
Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X
Thats because the battery save option stops works after flashing tmovile firmware.... I think its because the diferent model number, i never rooted my phone or something always as been on 100% stock firmwares...... :/

If your bootloader is unlocked, you're already running 4.4.2 with bootloader 30.B4 and you have XT1058 hardware then there should be no problems flashing the full Rogers 4.4.2 if that is what you would like to do.

You're not missing out.....the battery savings are minimal at best. I wouldn't be concerned about that feature.

Can anyone tell me if I have a problem flashing the firmware one in Moto X XT1053 XT1058.? I already did that once. Went back for fear of a mistake
1. Why?
2. Custom ROM? No problem.
Enviado desde mi XT1053 mediante Tapatalk
Because I saw a significant improvement in the performance of my device with this firmware.
It is not Custom ROM . It is the complete firmware. If you have any problem what is?
The only problem that you can have is modem issues. If signal doesn't works just flash only modem from 1053. That's all.
Enviado desde mi XT1053 mediante Tapatalk
Then catch signal has no problem keeping the firmware? Or after a while can give error? The system may become unstable or buggy?
There is no problem. I recommend to you TMO firmware for flash modem.

Some will tell you its safe and it works, some will say it works, but you might have issues with the modem files, others will say DONT DO IT... etc.
When looking at the USA XT1053 vs USA XT1058, their modems don't support exactly the same frequencies which might cause you coverage/signal issues.
One other thing to consider is 4.4.2 vs 4.4.3 vs 4.4.4... and the changes to GPT.BIN and Motoboot.img that might cause issues flashing between them, or back to stock.
So you try it at your own risk.

I think he is from south america, I'm from that region as well and I'm having issues understanding what he is trying to say... I have an idea, he bricked his phone due to flashing T-Mobile firm on his phone...

bernardomendez181, has an XT1058, and tried to flash the XT1053 T-Mobile USA (aka GSM Dev Edition) ROM onto his phone, but ended up with a BRICK, and needs to do a warranty/insurance replacement.
Unfortunately, it appears he is from Brazil, and English, or USA English, is not his primary language, so its difficult to find out what steps were taking to help determine why the phone bricked.
i.e. Which carrier ROM was on the phone prior to flashing, and exactly which XT1053 rom was used (for example if the phone was on a 4.4.3 carrier rom, and a 4.4.2 or lower XT1053 rom was flashed, "downgrading" could be the issue rather than just the act of flashing an XT1053 rom)? Was mfastboot used or RSDLite (RSDLite verifies check sums before flashing, where as mFastboot does not, so if mFastboot was used and the download was corrupted, a bad file could have been flashed)? Was the flash process interrupted while running? etc...
The Language barrier is also going to hinder any efforts to try and help bernardomendez181 recover the phone.

Maybe he bricked his phone trying to flash a wrong version. 4.4.2 on 4.4.3 (stock) I think. I'm from mexico so I have a bad English too lol

Hey! Trata de escribirlo en español. Yo puedo ayudarte, solo explica bien como llegaste a hacer un "brick" a tu teléfono. Cuales fueron los pasos que seguiste? Tu teléfono aun enciende? Aunque sea en modo fastboot. Saludos!

Hi,
Just a quick question.
I live in South America, and Im going to buy a Galaxy S5 on eBay. Phone is SIM LOCKED so I will need to buy an Unlock code, no problem.
The problem is with Region Lock. Seller does not know if phone has been activated with original carrier or if it is black listed. My question is, is there any method that will completely remove Region Lock?
Thanks!

Hi folks, hope all is well with you guys.
The title says it all. How can I de-brand my stock AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge (non-rooted, all stock) to the international stock version? This would make it similar to 925F models (unbranded).
I appreciate your help

Does flashing another firmware through ODIN make it un-brand?
No way
USA carriers have device specific firmware so flashing out of the states firmware is not possible Odin will just fail ...925A to 925 Germany or even international will not work

hi friends of xda developers, congratulations for your forum, today I'm here to ask for help to you who are experts
I have my blu r1 hd (16gb - 2gb ram) r0010u with version 8.7, I have read that there is no way to make this phone root, can you confirm this information?
Another question I have is, can I install an official stock rom version 6.4 to be able to root it.
my phone does not have root and has the bootloader blocked.
I hope you can help me..
Thank you and sorry for my bad english
:good:
