I'm in China so I don't care about warranty. I'm using china-unicom and they uses 4G LTE band 3 as main band.
I just want to have unlocked bootloader and 4G LTE band 3 at same time. But according to the specs on moto website, pure editon have no band 3 support, while on the other hand, I don't know if AT&T model can have bootloader unlocked.
So I want to know that if there is a hardware difference between pure edition and ATT edition. If not, maybe I can just buy a pure edition and try to open band 3 by software operation. Or I don't know if I can get a bootloader unlocking code to deal with a ATT model.
Many thanks :laugh::laugh:

Really want to know dis..specially if the at&t model is unlocked

I‘m in China too.You can choose the Euro or HK NewMotoX in the future.I'm sure HK version will available.Just wait for it.:laugh:
I'm no sure AT&T's newmotox can be unlock the Bootloader and the Network.
In fact,pure edition is T-mobile’s edition.Don't support China Unicom FDD-LTE Network.
T-mobile LTE band: 02 04 17.

I just checked the UK version but no band 03 either.
Come on MOTO! I just need a phone with unlocked BL and band 3 LTE at the same time!
So apparently the Moto X t-mobile variant (XT1053) supports US bands 4 and 17 LTE (and band 2), and has an amplifier for bands 12/17, which are disabled by default. I was wondering if there is any way to flash/modify the radio to enable band 12 for tmobile? Has anyone actually attempted to do so?

I would like to know this as well.

Any update on this?
I have not tried this but it looks interesting.

No one has unlocked "hidden" bands on a Moto X to date.
Hi,
I recently purchased a new xt1058 on ebay, it's the US model i belive, but LTE doesn't work in france.
xt1058 have 2/4/5/7/17 bands activated and LTE in france is 20.
Is there any way to change that ? Can I switch modem files from xt1052 rom (EU version) ?
I'm running kk 4.4.4 212.44.26.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA version.
Thanks!
According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe
France carriers also use band 7 (along with 20). So if you have the proper carrier, you should be fine.

I think the problem is that LTE on band 7 is only on 2600MHz, only band 20 use 800MHz in France
There are 2 different bands mate. One is 2600mhz and the other is 800Mhz. According to Wiki, there are carriers in France that uses 2600Mhz as frecuency for LTE. If that's the case, you should be fine. Look at the link I pasted before.

The problem is the moto x use only 850/900/1900/2100 frequencies , not 2600 MHz.

Those are the 3G bands that the Moto X supports. Not LTE bands. You are confusing things here.
XT1058 uses LTE bands 2/4/5/7/17 (look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X_(1st_generation)#Variants)
Hence, it uses 1900/1700/850/2600/700.
Many carriers in the EU use band 20 in most cities, the official reason is, band 20 covers more area and only band 7 is used in cluster areas, such as football stadiums, airports, central train stations etc.
At least thats what the German carriers say.
So its mainly an economic decision to use band 20 for regular urban areas and only use band 7 (which doesn't cover so much km²) in the cluster areas.
There is a user who is currently editing some files to enable software wise other LTE frequencies for the Droid, have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/droid-turbo-conquers-europe-t2995343/page3
This however, will only enable the LTE bands software wise, it hasn't been tested yet, if the LTE works then in the EU for band 20 or if its a hardware limitation or if you need to flash the EU modem, too

I tried to enable bands 3,7 and 20 on my XT1053 and it didn't work for me.

What exactly did you try? Flashing the other radio / modem file or by unlocking it in the software or both?

I have since months xt1052 fw with 1053 radio and this allowed me to have Italian language and 3G/H+ working fine. xt1052 radio don't work at all on US devices.
Tried last week to enable bands modifying NV strings via QXDM but there's not effect. GSM and WCDMA are good, but no LTE. I guess is hw limitation, or some other NV items must be changed to get it working.

Ok, thanks for the clarification
By the way, there is a nice wiki who talks about french LTE bands, and according to it, band 7 @2600Mhz is used by 3 carriers, including mine, but no LTE on my moto x...
As Dagoban said, carriers must mainly use band 20 @800mhz to cover large areas.
Can I enable band 3 Or band 40 in my North American model of 3T which by default does not have it. So I cannot use VOLTE on my reliance Jio. Is there any way I can do this.

So I can't use LTE then?
If the band is not supported by the model then no. I also have a US model and don't get LTE since it's mostly band 3 and 20 which are locked/unsupported on the US model.
Im thinking to buy a Mi 5 from china from sites like banggood, gearbest etc.
The product description shows only LTE bands 1800 2100 2600
If I flash it with Global ROM/ Indian ROM will it unlock the bands for Indian market ?
I need LTE Band 5, 850 for Jio VoLTE to work properly.
Please help should i get it or not? Mi 5 64gb is unavailable in India.
