I bought a boost G6 play and am looking to upgrade. If I ask Sprint for the Sim unlock will it work automatically with Verizon simor will I need to also bootloader unlock, root and adjust APNs?
Thanks
*Update. Sprint unlocked the phone and when I put an old Verizon sim card in it, it loaded VZW network, and went to their activation portal. Seems to be confirmed working!

the phone is SIM unlocked; you can use on any GSM carrier.

I'm almost positive that you should be able to pop in any sim card, pre- or post-paid, and it should work...
i just tested it with a nextel chip with a plan but no data service and i still get no bars??? i will try to put up some pics....please help if ya can...thanks
As far as I know Nextel doesn't use GSM networks it has it's own iDEN network, I don't know what the difference is, or if it should work with a GSM receiver but I can't say I'm surprised it doesn't work. Also from what I've heard, the phone has only received FCC certifications on T-Mob and AT&T for the phone you have, Verizon passed separately. Again, don't know if this helps, but I'm not shocked it doesn't work. Your phone is carrier unlocked, it came that way from HTC and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with which carriers it will work with.
no all i did was i bought it on a tmobile network through google then i had unlock the bootloader then rooted the phone now is there a way to use differ carriers??? i did not buy it unlocked......from google.....so is there a way ?

Dude... your question is moot! The phone, even if bought on a T-mobile line, IS NOT LOCKED TO ANY SPECIFIC CARRIER! You can pop in ANY GSM SIM CARD, and it will work. I bought mine on a T-mobile upgrade... but I can throw in an AT&T, Rogers, Fido, Vodaphone, etc., SIM, and it will work just fine.
o okay will try it out with att thanks...
I have the sprint variant of the moto x and I want to know if it can be unlocked to work on other networks here in the us. I bought the phone for 350$ bucks and I'm happy with the phone I'm currently using on sprint, I just want to be able to use it on other carriers.
Mine worked with a tmobile Sim card once you unlock the book loader. I called sprint for the Sim unlock and they said I should be all set. Popped in a Sim card from a T-Mobile iPhone 5 and behold I was surprised it actually worked

How did you get them to unlock the phone for you? I just called and was told that I need to have the phone active for 90 days before they can unlock it which I think is load of bs.

Well I work for sprint do technically they can't stop me lol. But just call again and say your account has been active for X amount of years you are taking a vacation before winter to (make up some place) I would really like to use my sprint device over seas and continue to keep sprint when I come back. If they give you problems ask for the supervisor if that doesn't work there are some reputable sites that you can pay like $5 and get the unlock code

As you enter the unlock code? In other models, just insert another operator, and there is a window to enter the code. If Moto x 1056 this is not possible ...

How do you know if you have the 1056 model? On my model number it just sells moto x
Seriously? I can get an unlock code for a sprint moto X and the use a gsm sim?
What sort of data are you getting on that tmo sim?
I believe you just sold me on the moto X.
Look at the package where all the bar codes ...

From what I've a heard is that you can use the Sprint moto x on other US carriers but I've not been able to get my phone unlocked. They keep telling me that I need to have the phone active for 90 days and there is nothing they can do until then.

OK that worked. I do have the xt1056 model. So the only way to have the phone unlocked would be to have Sprint unlock it for me?

I got this phone in canada. I want to unlock it for the UMTS bands. is there anyway possible to unlock this device without having to call sprint. When I pop in a gsm sim card. I choose GSM/UMTS, it doesnt prompt me to enter the sim network unlock key like other androids do. is there a dial code perhaps to make the network key entry prompt pop up ? When I do *#06# in GSM mode it gives me a IMEI# and I also noticed when i choose 4G/CDMA and I do *#06# it gives me a MEID #

So I purchased a Moto X off Swappa from a guy that works for Anandtech.com. They were selling their demo model so I snagged it. Apparently it was used in Canada despite the fact that it is an AT&T model. When I received the phone and popped a SIM into it, it is prompting me for a SIM unlock PIN. He claims that nothing was changed software wise, but it seems to me that they would have had to change something in order to get it to work with a Canadian GSM SIM card. I took it to an AT&T store and he called tech support but the pins they gave him wouldn't work. Anyone have any thoughts on how to make this thing work or am i out of luck? I was thinking of unlocking and rooting with a stock ROM, but not sure if that would resolve the issue. I would appreciate any input.
thanks!

Rogers Wireless in Canada uses the XT1058, Att uses an XT1058, but they are not the same rom/radio code. And the Rogers can get the boot loader unlock code from Moto directly.
Could it be you have a Rogers XT1058? Does it have the ATT logo on its back? Did ATT have the IMEI in its database?
Something else to consider... you mention wanting to unlock and root... Unless that Chinese Website/Middleman comes backup, you can't unlock the bootloader on the ATT XT1058, and the current root option for 4.4.2 doesn't survive power off/on since there is no way to disable write protection (without unlocking the bootloader).

It is from Canada, but it has the AT&T logo. So at this point, there is no way to flash an AT&T stock ROM onto the phone? In contacting AT&T again today, the only thing that I could discern was the system version that was different than what she said it should be. I have 165.44.1.ghost_att.ATT.en.US, she said that it should be 161.44.1.ghost_att.ATT.en.US
Just curious, can you boot into fastboot/bootloader mode. Does it say "Device is Locked Status Code 0" or "Device is Unlocked Status Code 3"?
The latest ATT ROM leaked on http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 is 165.44.1.ghost, and as far as I know, that is the current ATT ROM. You can try and reflash the ATT SBF, but I doubt it will help.
ATT XT1058 is Sim locked out of the box, but an ATT SIM should work in it sim locked or unlocked.
I don't have an answer as to why if you have an XT1058 from ATT, and put a real ATT SIM in it, you would get prompted for the SIM Unlock pin, unless you have a PUK on the SIM itself? Does this SIM work in other ATT devices without prompting for unlock pin?

Device is locked - status code 0. I am able to use the SIM in my G2 with no issues. The person I bought it from said that it was never used on a Canadian provider.

Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you.
The bootloader has never been unlocked, so there is no way non-ATT ROM or radio could have been installed.
Do you have another ATT Sim to try, or a T-Mobile SIM maybe?
I remember someone else posting something like this a while ago, but I do not know if there was a resolution or not.
I don't know what to tell you to try next. Sorry.
Ok so in short I have a Chance to trade my GS6 for a N6 In preparations to get on Google Fi. Problem is the N6 is on Verizon and My Carrier is ATT. Until i get the invite in I will be using it on ATT, So I have read that the all in one will unlock the phone but I have questions.
Will the Unlock work for the latest 5.0.2 Update?
If i swap the sim will it be sim locked (similar to the ATT bought N6)?
And before I hear the "Search", I have searched all over the internet for a situation similar to mine. I cant seem to get some of the answers I am looking for.
I am somewhat experienced with ADB and have been rooting and modifying since the old HTC Evo days. So Unlocking it isn't a problem, just some simple questions.
The only device that is network locked is the one attained from AT&T directly. All you have to do pop he SIM in and possibly change APN settings if it doesn't pull them from the network/SIM card.
Other than that, unlocking the bootloaders is cake and installing custom firmware is just as easy.

All Nexus 6 (except AT&T version) are SIM unlocked. Just pop the AT&T SIM in.
All Nexus 6 are bootloader unlockable.
and just for the record, its is currently at 5.1.1 be sure to get it up to date.
Hello XDA,
Do we know if we are able to flash the firmware of another carriers to the LG G6? I remember we were able to do that with the S6/S7 so that Wifi Calling and VoLTE would be fixed for users on Tmobile using an unlocked phone (Sprint unlocked phone etc). Since they had the same physical hardware.
I'll be getting a Sprint LG G6 from my job but I have tmobile, I can get it unlocked thats not a problem, but I need Wifi Calling to work. Has anyone tried to flash another carriers firmware on their LG G6 // do we know if they are the same hardware wise? Thanks in advance guys!

The devices have been GSM capable since the S3. NVTOOLs usually has some flags you can flip to enable the bands/radio. Of course it needs to be clean ESN with Sprint, and internationally unlocked from Sprint.
Does any one know what i need to do to get my sprint lg g6 working on other carriers sprint says its unlocked but when i put at&t sim card in it does not register

Did Sprint just say it's unlocked or did they give you a code? From what I know they are suppose to give an unlock codes for Android devices and for iPhones they just unlock them. Your phone is suppose to prompt you when you put a different carrier SIM in and once you out that code in your permanent unlocked.
Can anyone second this?
I wouldn't trust Sprint. They need to give you the unlock code. I found someone to pay to do it. There are very few.
