It is Sprint. It says 'System Version' '161.44.32.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US'

AHA! 855 was the culprit.

Value was 1 instead of 0. It makes no sense though. I keep writing it, but the values stay on 1...
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
You must not have followed the instructions....

SPC is required to write that NVITEM. You have to enter the SPC as pictured, check the box (as pictured), and press the **TOP** read button (as pictured).

After pressing read, it should say "SPC is correct, phone unlocked".

It was all shown in pictures in the instructions.

REGARDLESS, it should work without that particular NVITEM. As long as the others are written successfully, the phone should be unlocked. 855 just keeps it from reverting back to CDMA after every reboot.

Something is wrong....it has worked for *everybody* but you.

If you continue to have issues, use RSD Lite to flash the stock Sprint firmware again, then re-try the unlock procedure.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
That's what it says....

"Log message: > SPC is correct. Phone unlocked

Writing NV-items from a file:

Done.

Writing NV-items from a file:

Already using RSDLite..
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
My suggestion is rsd lite again, and try everything over. Problem is definitely on your end.

You are using the NVITEM tool to "reset" immediately after flashing the NVITEMs as the instructions state, right?
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Yup. After flashing, I do Mode > Reset.

TO CLARIFY:

I do NOT Keep a SIM Card in the SIM Tray, right?

EDIT: It doesn't Work.....

Still Says 'Network Mode - Home Only'
[Moto X General] polovoy:
i have solve the same problem with with app: diewland.settings.mobilenetworks
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
WOW! So here are images of what I set the phone to. After reboot, the phone immediately said No Service and showed there is No SIM inserted.

I'm not sure if its unlocked.

Suppose [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2026715]ezeuba[/MENTION] would know?

[Moto X General] ezeuba:
All I can say is that you must have missed something while following the instructions. People have done this on Sprint MOTO X, I have done it on RW MOTO X as well and I never saw this kind of issue. I would advise re-flashing the Sprint SBF all over again (I hope you're still on 4.4.2), and going through the instruction set all over again. I'm sure you'll get it. Once you flash a Sprint stock sbf on your RW MOTO X it basically becomes a Sprint version and can do all these things the original Sprint version can do. Although one thing sticks out: everyone who has done this has unlocked bootloader directly from Motorola website or from China middleman (whose unlock code is as authentic as the direct unlock from Motorola), maybe this has to do with the bootloader unlock method you used(?). Anyone else used this method (SunShine unlock) and succeeded in the SIM unlock? Just a thought...
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Even though I did shunshine method, I got no errors and the phones says it's UNLOCKED on Fastboot mode. Probably something I am doing wrong. I am gonna post a video soon regarding what steps I take.
[Moto X General] Ramonsterator:
Hello friend!

I've got Sprint's Moto X!

Wanted to GSM unlock it, but... It came with 4.4.4!!

Are there any way to unlock it??? Please help me, thanks!!!
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Follow the instructions. Skip the part about getting the SPC. Also, skip flashing the "ruim-only" file.

You'll be unlocked. Only minor issue: The phone **might** switch back to CDMA upon reboot. If so, you simply go back to Settings > More > Mobile Networks and change it back to GSM/UMTS.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
[MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] Here is a simple video I made consisting of the steps I took to do the unlock. Please let me know what I missed (If any). Sorry quality is bad, recorded with a iPhone 3GS.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ONaghQ6KPYUC1ld1dlM2J4dGs/view?usp=sharing
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Found the issue ALREADY.

You could NOT have properly flashed the Sprint ROM. You must have only flashed PART of the sprint rom (probably the boot.img - which explains why the Settings > About phone shows "sprint".

Notice that in the first 5 seconds of your video, the lock screen shows "REPUBLIC" -- it should NOT say that.

You are still on the Republic system.img. Re-flash the Sprint ROM properly this time and make SURE the lockscreen does not say "REPUBLIC".

You even have the republic wireless APP in your app drawer...... obvious that you did not flash Sprint ROM properly...

Then perform the procedure and you will be unlocked...
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Noooooooo. In the beginning, it WAS the Republic Wireless ROM. If you watch later in the Video, I FLASHED the Sprint ROM using RSDLite.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I showed later on in the video, that I was on the SPRINT ROM. I flashed it using RSDLite...
[Moto X General] ezeuba:
Please try this modified sbf: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/rooted-sprint-moto-x-sbf-t2834891

Flash as normal with RSD Lite. Let us know how it goes this time.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
My apologizes. I'm in a hurry (on way to work) and couldn't watch the entire video.

Here is my suggestion: Try using the ACTUAL stock sprint ROM (and not the modified ROM by ezeuba). See if that makes any difference....

Let us know.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
The funny part was, I actually tried that ROM before I tried this one. Same result.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

No Problem Sam, I understand. I tried both. No dice. I am thinking to manually Flash. Should I give that a shot?
[Moto X General] ezeuba:
I'm still of the opinion that the bootloader unlock method may have something to do with this. I may be wrong, but so far that's the only thing you've done different from what others have done.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Hmm. I don't really think bootloader unlocking would make a difference, either by getting a OEM Key or hacking. By the way, what flashing method did you use?

Also, I noticed every TIME after I Hit Mode > Reset, the phone gets suck on Starting Services screen for a LONG time. I read the Nvitems and all read correct. Will go to friend's house and retry T-Mo SIM. Since I can't go into Mobile Network screen, I'll just use apps to set the APN.

FYI: I am using the 4.4.2 Sprint ROM, just incase you need to know.
[Moto X General] Mathaa:
Anybody know hot to get SPC on xt1056 (4.4.4)?
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
You can't. Need to be on 4.4.2 or lower to sead SPC. You only need the SPC for Ruim-Only.txt, which isn't necessary.
[Moto X General] Ramonsterator:
But what should I write into SPC box in NV-items_reader writer

app??

Default SPC 000000 is not working!

Should I leave it blank & uncheck some boxes or what??
[Moto X General] Mathaa:
Ok, and than how you restore 4.4.4? Do You install OTA update? and all works fine?
[Moto X General] jaaa1976:
if you downgrade to 4.2.2. and take OTA update ..your phone will be dead.
[Moto X General] Mathaa:
i dont need to downgrade to 4.2.2. only need 4.4.2.

Are there some one who downgrade 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 and that installed OTA?
[Moto X General] jaaa1976:
sorry ..I should write 4.4.2 ...yes ..Im downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 nd after take update OTA ..phone is brick now.
[Moto X General] Mathaa:
Ok. But if official rom will be on sbf.droid-developers.org would be safe to dawngrade, read SPC and than write 4.4.4? (if it's wrong thread, sorry in advance)
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
We gave you the answer, but you didn't even try. If you had, you would realize that it doesn't matter if you leave the SPC box blank, or not. Doesn't matter if you leave the box checked....or not. Doesn't matter if it says "wrong spc"......or not. Who said *anything* about spc 000000???? Sprint SPCs have **NEVER** been all zeroes. That's a verizon thing (and a few other carriers).

Just do it. You might be surprised...
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
How many times do I have to say: ***NO TALK OF DOWNGRADING IN MY THREAD!!!!*** It is NOT safe.

Have you not read that you can perform the unlock ***WITHOUT THE SPC***???? Just read the past few pages of the thread....or use SEARCH.
[Moto X General] Ramonsterator:
Well, before I've successfully unlocked XT1049 Republic Wireless - and it had SPC 000000 - that's why I thought about it))

Right, it worked! Thanks a lot! Now I'm looking for stupid nanoSIM (microSIM was ofcourse WAY BIG to put into Moto X, bravo, Motorola ))) :laugh:
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Republic phones have never had "000000" spc. You might have had an "nTelos" XT1049 - they have spc of all zeroes.

You can cut any size sim down to a nano sim with scissors (if you are very careful). Pretty easy to do - I've done it many times...

Glad you got your device unlocked.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Wha!

How did you do it!

Was there any luck in unlocking the bands so 1700mhz may work?
[Moto X General] ecs87:
I wouldn't suggest it. There was a guy with a N900A that tried the recent method and ended up screwing up his nv items. I had to send him a nv backup I (conveniently) have for the N900A. These nv hacks MUST be throughly researched. For what we know, the originator of the post had some Sony device, which had a different nv system than Motorola, HTC, Samsung, etc. I'm NOT saying that it definitely won't work, but I'd rather have a decently functional phone over a nonfunctional phone. HSPA is well enough. I've been on CDMA 3G (EVDO rev.A) and it's been sufficient for everything I've needed. H+ is leagues faster than 3G.
[Moto X General] ejlmd:
I was able to update the NV items to enable band IV/1700mHz but my XT1049 doesn't seem to be able to actually use this band on either WCDMA (UMTS) or LTE. Either the hardware capability is missing, or some further unlock is necessary.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Which Bootloader unlock method did you use?
[Moto X General] princepavs:
Well took the china Middleman way.. didn't know abt SunShine could unlock motoX as i have used sunshine 2 weeks ago to unlock my HTC ONE M8 HK bootloader in 1 minute.. paid USD$25 for it.. =)
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Yeah, because I used SunShine and it doesn't work.. Hopefully I can get a refund for it.
[Moto X General] jcase:
Can you back this up, so I can understand how this conclusion was reached? Both routes to unlock work using the identical mechanism, so there should not be any difference in the end result.
[Moto X General] jcase:
[09:51:13] <asdfperdion122>	It says Warning BL Unlocked

According to what you told me in chat, and according to our service logs it worked just fine at [23/Sep/2014:16:00:51 -0400]
[Moto X General] ezeuba:
Far from casting any aspersions on your hard work, but I used the word "may". The reason for thinking along those lines was that the BL unlock method was the only difference in what he did and what I did, and maybe others too. I could be totally wrong; I don't know much about BL unlocking, just a situation of comparisons and elimination. If you felt aggrieved by my statements, please do not see it in that light. I have the deepest respect for the hard work guys put in to make things easier here.

[Moto X General] jcase:
No no no, i didnt feel any aggression, I'm just trying to understand. Sorry if I came off that way, im still waking up and have someone in support going off about his sim unlock (something we have nothing to do with and I havent researched)

I'm asking for any info you used to come to that conclusion to assist in some quick research
[Moto X General] ezeuba:
Just comparison and elimination. What I did on my xt1049 to get Sim unlocked, what other users of xt1049 did and what the fellow in question did. The only difference is that he used SunShine to BL unlock. He even posted a video of him doing the Sim unlock processes and he got everything right, still he cannot get Sim unlock.

I didn't mean to make you mad, nor was I trying to be rude. Just as I told you earlier, and probably [MENTION=2026715]ezeuba[/MENTION] knows (By asking all those question :)) I am NOT very knowledgeable about this kinda stuff. I wouldn't be considered a 'tinkerer' when I can't figure something to do, as I've got school and sometimes could get kinda frustrated. It happens to everyone.

Once again, if it offended you in any sorts, I'm Sorry.
[Moto X General] ezeuba:
What do your APN settings look like? Does it load auto or do you need to do it manually? - This is for data issue.

For the SMS issue, I think it's best you consult the network you are using for support on that. Just to be safe, check for the GSM frequencies supported by the XT1049 and confirm they are compatible with the GSM network you are using it on now. GSM devices almost always take settings from the SIM card, as opposed to some CDMA devices where you can program these settings directly on the device and as such leaves room for some tinkering. Just do the frequency checks and I'm sure some of these issues you are experiencing will be easier to sort out.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
This is supposed to work on 2013 manufactured Moto X right?

I reded the unlock and I noticed during the flashing it says 'Multi Flashing System' is that normal?

How do i flash it without the SPC App?
[Moto X General] jaaa1976:
USB DEBUGGING DISABLED.

Boot phone to Fastboot Mode with options to scroll to and select BP TOOLS is highlighted, press the Volume Up Button. The phone will restart and u can see Motorola QC Diag Port - look for it in your computer's Device Manager to get the port number ..after that use"NV-Items Reader-Writer

1. Open the "NV-Items Reader-Writer"

2. Enter YOUR COM PORT # as shown in DEVICE Manager

3. Click the "Write" button, and find the "nv-unlock.txt" file - make sure it confirms success

4. Click the "Write" button, and find the "nv-unlock2.txt" file - make sure this confirms success

5. Last, click MODE, then RESET

And lastly, once the phone reboots, go to Settings, More, Mobile Networks and select GSM/UMTS.

DONE! You are SIM-Unlocked!
[Moto X General] OvidiuC:
Hi there,

I have a Wireless Republic XT1049 with the following ROM flashed: Android 4.4.2

Blur_Version.161.44.32.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US. I have completed the whole tutorial including the 2 files not mentioned by you that were used (as far as I understood) to keep the GSM features. The problem is it did not work and I still can't edit the APN and Mobile Networks is still locked on Home only. Do you have any suggestions? If I re-flash could I start the process all over?
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
Wow. I'm not the only one now haha..
[Moto X General] OvidiuC:
They replied to my e-mail and apparently Wireless Republic is working on a way to allow users to unlock their device. The thing is it won't happen too soon and nobody knows when.
[Moto X General] Co0l Guy 33:
They Are?
[Moto X General] x000x:
thats good news... but i hope it happens sometime this year :P
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
I highly doubt any of this is true. If RW did allow unlocking, it would fully negate their entire business model. They subsidized their phones, so RW would stand to lose a substantial amount of money due to unlocking.

My opinion is that the email that they allegedly sent was nothing more than an attempt to pacify, and that they have zero intentions of ever unlocking.

Why would RW unlock phones, when Sprint won't even do it (unless you meet their very strict criteria and have an active account)?

This is all (as usual) speculation and nothing more. Only my personal opinions and viewpoints...
[Moto X General] elmy2424:

I have a Republic Wireless Moto X - but I am still on Verizon till March. I'm sick of my old verizon phone and was wondering if it's possible to flash a Verizon ROM on the X and then revert to the RW wireless ROM when I switch in March?
[Moto X General] HeroOfTime:
You won't be able to use the phone on your Verizon account. It wouldn't be provisioned correctly and there are no (legal) ways to convert a phone like that to run on Verizon. Even if you were trying for an LTE only device, I don't think the RW version has the correct bands to run on Verizon, if it has LTE radios at all (I don't know this for sure).

I understand how you feel about this not working out for you when it worked perfectly well for others.

Thanks mate!
[Moto X General] arcataslacker:
So I attempted the unlock myself on a device with 4.4.2. I brought it into a T-Mobile store and got a sim card error and made no connection at all. I took it by the AT&T store next door and had no problem at all. I know the device has a bad Sprint ESN but afik sprint and tmobile dont share blacklists. Is it possible that I just have to rerun the unlock process?

When I brought it back to the T-Mobile store to try another sim thinking it could have been the card I got the same error. An associate wanted to check the network settings and wound up running the 4.4.4 update. I want to revert back to 4.4.2 and try again but I heard it's a risky process. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a guide they know works?
[Moto X General] :
As far as I've ever read, the blacklists are indeed shared, all of North America in fact. That's usually how it is anyway.

But no , you can't downgrade. Not unless you are OK with bricking the phone. Just browse around the Q&A section here and see the many unfortunate stories from those who did.
[Moto X General] arcataslacker:
I guess I'll have to wait for the 212.44.26 sbf to drop. Thanks though.
[Moto X General] iBowToAndroid:
Just downgrade the ROM...

All US carriers share a blacklist. If it's blocked on Sprint for nonpayment, it'll still work fine. If it's blocked for lost/stolen, it won't work
