So I'm a newb here, but I'm wondering if it's possible to take my locked Verizon Moto X 1st generation phone, and convert it so that it will a) be GSM unlocked, and b) will pick up LTE bands in the UK.
GSM unlocked out the box and only if it's the same bands of att lte

UK uses different bands. Doesn't this thread suggest it's possible to add different bands? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
That is a phone with an entirely different chipset,

Sure, but according to that thread, it should work on any Qualcomm device, and someone had success doing that process on a Moto G, so I thought it might also work on Moto X.

My main concern is a custom ROM and kernel, is your bootloader unlocked?

I have done none of the steps, yet. Mostly I'm trying to gauge if it will be possible on a Verizon device since I didn't order an unlocked phone initially.
Verizon LTE device are sim free out the box so that is taken care of next step is rooting and roming

Why isn't it possible to flash the development rom on the stock Verizon phone?
Will this ever be a possibility?
I am thinking they are exactly the same hardware and carrier so I would think that it would work.

The development build is for T-Mobile.

I am talking about the software that the Development Verizon phone uses on the Verizon non-dev phone.

The software is the same. It is the phones unique Device ID that allows the bootloader to be unlocked.
I remember on my two last Samsung phones the would automatically connect to ATTWiFi hotspots.
Now that I am on a Moto Dev ED with ATT service is there a way to be able to use that same function with this phone?

Only the XT1058 AT&T variant has that functionality built-in.

Could that app be used on the XT1053 by chance?
Don't want to change my build prop tho.

hardware, it physically cannot support those frequencies.
Not true it does support all Verizon bands however Verizon will not authorize those meids for the pure additions to be activated on their network

It supports all LTE and (3/4?) UMTS bands, but not the CDMA ones. Therefore it depends on the distribution of infrastructure in your area is and which towers your phone can see.
But...just left a Verizon store being told the system said no to the MEID. Debating spend a couple hours on the phone trying to escalate tech support levels until someone might whitelist my MEID in some way. Then again, I got this phone because both Verizon and Motorola refused to unlock the bootloader of a phone I had purchased outright...
Hello, does anyone know how to add Bands to the Nexus 6 for Verizon. Or if there are any new radios out there for Verizon to we can use Data while on the phone. Right now its not working.
The only band that works on the phone is Cellular (800-MHZ)
There is no voice and data until volte is enabled on the phone.... And is presumably in their system once they start selling it. There are several threads regarding this.
XT1103 has bands for all 4 main US carriers. I just got my Nexus 6 on Verizon last night using the sim from my Verizon moto x 2013.

Where did you purchase your nexus 6? The hardware has all radios necessary for nearly all US carriers, including Verizon.

Sorry I dunno. You got duped I guess. No I really dont know why that is all you have.
Was your sim for Verizon previously activated before inserting into the n6?

Ok so i tried a different rom (Chroma) and now I have different radios available. Which is pretty funny.
See photos attached.

you have one radio available, that is your baseband version. you are seeing differing bands.
I've seen similar posts to this, but none with any kind of solid answer so far. I have a chance to get a XT1095 for pretty cheap tomorrow and would like a clear answer to the question of it not only working on Cricket and also get LTE? If not will it work on HSPA? Thx in advance, I'm kind of confused by all this and would love to hear from somebody that has or had this particular model on Cricket. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 which was just plug n play with my Cricket SIM so that's what has me a bit lost here.
You shouldn't have any problems with it. I see they have a GSM sim. As long as that's the one you have you should get LTE.

Yeah the guy had it on T-Mobile so its definitely GSM compatible. I'm mostly just wondering about getting the LTE/data to work. I saw an article online that said the XT1095 had less bands than the other variants. Either way thanks for replying so quickly!
I also read though that Motorola was planning on adding the missing bands via update but can't find if that update was already pushed or not.
The band issue was with kit kat it has been updated with 5.0 and 5.1. You should get LTE and if you don't it will probably be because you have to set up the APN yourself which is easy.

Now that's exactly what I was wanting to know, TY! I'm very familiar with how to change APN's so it looks like I'm good to go!
I'm using my XT 1095 on cricket and I'm very pleased. It is LTE compatible but be advised to use the APN settings on cricket website. As long as you are aware of crickets speed limitations, you will be pleased.
