Oh the drama...

My son has a Republic Moto X I gave him when my frustration with dropped calls when through the roof. I purchased a 'Dev Ed' Moto X and moved to Cricket (very happy now). With Cricket offering some crazy deals I decided to move my son to Cricket. My only option was to replace his phone... ...until now.

I read the opening page with great care and detail, I've flashed many phones so I'm comfortable with everything going on and I set out on this adventure.

Step 1: Unlock the Bootloader - after a quick search I chose Sunshine, as I'm a big fan of [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and his work.

Step 2: Load up the Sprint custom SBF that [MENTION=2026715]ezeuba[/MENTION] built (great job!)

Step 3: grabbed my SPC code and ran the NV scripts (no issues).

Step 4: Go into settings, more, Mobile Networks and found 'Home Only' greyed out as my only option...

Step 5: Redid steps 2-4 with the same results...

Step 6: Started downloading and flashing every combination of firmware and radios to try and find an option that worked. RW 4.4.2; Sprint 4.4.2; [MENTION=2026715]ezeuba[/MENTION] 4.4.2; TMobile 4.4.3 (oops);

Step 7: After accidentally upgrading to 4.4.3, I couldn't return to 4.4.2. I manually flashed the boot, system, and radios from 4.4.2 onto the 4.4.3 partition setup. Side note, when I was on TMobile, all the screens were unlocked.

Step 8: Flashed [MENTION=2026715]ezeuba[/MENTION] 4.4.2 with T-Mobile Radios - SIM not recognized; Lots of errors popping up.

Step 9: Flashed Tmobile 4.4.3 with Sprint 4.4.2 radios screens locked out

Step 10-49: A bit of blur.

Step 50: Two days of flashing later, I gave up and decided to buy my son a Moto G on Cricket (special price is $30).

Step 51: On a Hail Mary, I flashed the full T-Mobile 4.4.3 on the phone and took it with me to Cricket. It was the only way I saw the Mobile Networks screen unlocked.

We put a SIM in it and it worked perfectly!

The long and short - I agree something with Sunshine unlocker is not happy with this crack. I was fortunate to find a work around. I'm guessing I could go back to RW by flashing back to their OS, but I see no way to use anyone else's CDMA. The T-Mobile OS and Radios are CDMA unaware. This is acceptable for me on Cricket (as it uses AT&T infrastructure).

Thanks to everyone for all of your active posts. [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] <-- Funding coming your way today!

nTelos Moto X 1049

So it was unfortunate that nTelos decided to sell their towers to T-mobile and I own Moto X with them but good news I don't have to pay a fee. I just don't understand how to sim unlock my phone let alone what to do to get it working on T-mobile if it has any use at all.. I did research that this phone was bought by C-Spire and not sure if this works on it if it's not a RW phone. I don't want to go out and buy another Moto X if it has any use for t-mobile and plan to get Moto X 2014 later..
[Moto X General] :
This is for Sprint. Is that your version?

If not, any cell unlock site should work... Very inexpensive. As long as your models bands are supported by Tmobile. ?
[Moto X General] titetanium:
I'm late to this party..... I have a Moto XT1049 model that is unlocked via sunshine. Was considering using this to switch to GSM. I noted that there were at least 3 reported attempts that failed with sunshine unlocked bootloader unless they finally flashed a tmobile sbf at the end. My question is does it matter which Tmo sbf I use whether retail or dev/gpe/pure version? I'm on 4.2.2 and already have the original RW, sprint sbf files so I'm good there. But there are 2 Tmo sbf files, one says retail, and the other doesn't (which I think is the developer version that's unlocked). I'd like to use the developer version going forward but would like to know if the 2 who succeed used the retail or developer version.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
The TMO retail is the right one. It is the *same exact* firmware as the dev edtion. The XT1053 is completely identical in every way to the GSM Dev edition except that the dev edtion retains warranty after being unlocked.

Anyways, just the 4.4.2 TMO retail ROM.

Good Luck!
[Moto X General] Dollallama:
Has anyone finally found what is causing the phone to show no signal bars? I am not new to unlocking Sprint phones .The first time I ever tried this I was already at stock 4.4.2 and the nv items always right successful but the problem that everyone else is having with a fake no signal bar is very real to me,I always get no network when trying to make calls or text .I have tried changing carriers through adb but the outcome is always the same even if I flash fresh stock and try again. I just need to get the phone working on the At&t network.

downgrade to 4.4.2 using rsd lite using this file

edit xml document-then only flashing started

after downgrade did the steps in first page-set unlocked

thanks
[Moto X General] :
You realize if you ever take an ota now, you will very likely brick.... After downgrading? Extremely risky, you're lucky it even worked. But I would never take an ota now... If you value your device.

Don't downgrade people.... Ever.... Never.... No way. ?
[Moto X General] zonetrichur:
three lines in xml delete

lines starting getvar,gpt,motoboot

and i did in risk-set flashing sucessfully
[Moto X General] hiroprotagonist:
I always flash back to the latest sbf using RSDlite to avoid issues with the partition tables. OTAs work perfectly after that. So, yeah, downgrade away. 4.4.2 should let the SPC Utility work just fine.

Why can't people read

Look at the topic: "[GUIDE] SUCCESS!!! SIM-Unlock Sprint XT1056 (SIM-CRACK) Moto X GSM **NOW U.S. TOO!**"

Do you have an XT1056? If yes, then this will work for you! If no, then it won't!

Moto X 2014 != XT1056 . If you could read properly, you wouldn't be asking.

Aside the point: Thank you OP for this unlock! Super awesome :)
[Moto X General] kkrieger:
Please requires firmware 4.4.2 for moto x sprint xt1056. leafed through a lot of links, only 4.4 and 4.4.4.
[Moto X General] :
If you are on 4.4.4 now, you can't downgrade without likely bricking your device.

Just FYI. ?
[Moto X General] kkrieger:
Yes I know. But still I need this firmware. If you have it, I would appreciate a link

[Moto X General] Peterparkerisdead:
Question please

When recovering signal bars for domestic you say "ALSO, you will NOT get LTE data...on any carrier except Sprint" am I to understand correctly this is because of the Carriers in the USA (I am from Canada) can I assume that if my carrier is LTE then I will still get LTE, or do I lose parts when I unlock my sim this way ? (

Sorry if its a silly question but today was the first time I ever unlocked a bootl oader or will attempt to unlock the sim, which it seems fairly straightness forward with your instructions.)

I look forward to your reply, thank you.

Is anyone aware of a similar solution? NV items 80XX do not exist and can not be created. By the way, what is the name of the 80XX NV items on the XT1056?

Thanks!
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
wait...so...this won't work on 4.4.4? is that what I'm getting at?
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
So was this safe to update or how are you guys updating with this
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
took me all night to download the sprint 4.4.2 because none of the earlier links worked. Any way I managed to downgrade and SIM-Unlock. So was this established that I can OTA update to 4.4.4 or should I not, or should I just install some custom ROM?
[Moto X General] :
You successfully downgraded? Well, that was lucky. But now, if you ever take an ota.... It's extremely likely you will be bricked.

This is written all over the Moto X forum section... But again, you were lucky to downgrade, as many bricked just trying to do that. But doing an ota after downgrade pretty much always bricks the Moto X.

At best you can try to upgrade manually, and hopefully it won't brick. It may work, or give you an error.... And I'm not sure what manually upgrading does to the Sim unlock... I've never done it personally.

Hopefully everything is all right for you now. Just don't ota. ?

[Moto X General] ong14:
Simply flash stock 4.4.4 directly, then unlock with the same code that you got on 4.4.2.

I did it before with no problem.
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
That's what I don't get what code? are you talking about the code I got from the SPC Utility app?, then flash stock 4.4.4 using RSDLite and downloading the stock from the link from posted earlier? [MENTION=593185]ong14[/MENTION]
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
After a long search process, it took me a long time to find the sprint 4.4.2 sbf so I uploaded to my dropbox here
[Moto X General] :
^^^^ Fellow members. Do not follow what this member has done...

Downgrading your Android version can very likely brick your device and is a terrible idea. He got lucky... So far... It could still brick. You might not be so lucky.

Downgrading on a Moto X is not ever recommended. ??
[Moto X General] ong14:
Yes, downgrade to 4.4.2 to get the code.

But don't update via OTA.

Full flash 4.4.4 instead, then use that code.
[Moto X General] zlebors:
turn me into these questions:

1. the Republic Wireless 1st Gen Moto X does have the GSM network capabilities and I can "crack" it using the OP's SIM crack method by flashing the Sprint SBF and edit the NV items, am I correct? (I just want to use GSM sim card)

2. if I use RW 1st gen Moto X, I need to flash the Sprint SBF and then edit the NV item?

3. if I use Sprint 1st gen Moto X, just edit the NV item

please advice
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
[MENTION=4415619]zlebors[/MENTION] yes that is correct.

Also I flashed the 4.4.4. sbf and got it running fine I guess. The only issue I found is that my home button doesn't seem to work. I can hold it and it will bring up google now, it just won't take me home, I knew there was a work around but I can't seem to find it now.

Anybody have a idea?

Also when I restart the phone it gives me the activation screen, and then I just press skip to go the home screen

EDIT: I'm not sure what happened but the HOME button works now, I just went and changed the CID and it seems to work now.
[Moto X General] zlebors:
[MENTION=3376252]Probaholic1[/MENTION] , it mean that the XT1049 bootloader is unlockable?
[Moto X General] afox27:
is there any way that this can be modified for the xt1055 u.s. cellular version
[Moto X General] Probaholic1:
[MENTION=4415619]zlebors[/MENTION] I'm not sure what carrier that's from but they should be able to be unlocked if you go to the Motorola website under support
[Moto X General] zlebors:
I was thinking the same as you [MENTION=5337851]afox27[/MENTION].. I think it should be on bootloader unlocked, flash Sprint SBF file.. then see if there's a NV item file mentioned to edit with cdma workshop..

but I'm not sure this method will apply on XT1055
[Moto X General] Ephemera:
Flashed all files with correct SPC and get "Mobile Network not Available" error. On 4.4.2

how are you all downgrading from 4.4.4??? is there a way or will this process work without the spc and you can use a domestic sim card?
[Moto X General] afox27:
Lol we never upgraded if you try an downgrade on a Motorola most likely brick your phone the fuse the software to ur phone when it updates you can download other carrier versions that have the same android version an most likely they will work just fine but also a chance of bricking your phone doing that to
[Moto X General] kennymase:
would this unlock trick still work without the spc to use a domestic (usa) sim card?

android 4.4.4

I just recently acquire myself a Sprint MOTO X 1st GEN. And I was wondering if your method of unlocking the Sprint MOTO X 1st Gen. will work for android 4.4.4? Please let me know.
[Moto X General] :
You may want to edit your post and remove the very long quote from the opening post... Not a good habit. ?

And a couple people will tell you shortly that you can downgrade your Android version to get this method to work.

But I will warn you, since they haven't been, that if you do downgrade..... You could brick your new phone. If not now, then almost definitely if you ever do an ota... Like the upcoming Lollipop update. The ones in this thread who have downgraded and said it was fine, may be in for a nasty surprise when Lollipop comes out.

Its well known downgrading usually bricks the X, during the downgrade or when the Ota runs. It's all over this forum.

Just a friendly warning. ?

The purpose of this thread was to unlock Sprint devices, which can't be sim unlocked any other way. Unless you meet sprints requirements to do so.

My advice to those with other devices...... Find a site that sim unlocks, pay the usual small fee and unlock that way. No worries that way.

Just my 2 cents. ?

Upgrading and LTE

Hi,

Successfully used the instructions to GSM unlock -- thanks!

A couple of questions that aren't clear from this thread:

1. Can I upgrade to 4.4.4 normally (OTA)? The OP says yes, but I've seen confusing comments here.

2. LTE bands - someone claimed to successfully unlock all bands, others claimed this is a hardware restriction. What's the verdict? Any way to get LTE on AT&T?

Thanks!
[Moto X General] :
I can't comment on point 1, as I've never done it myself.

Point 2 though, I've yet to see evidence that anyone has "unlocked" bands that weren't stock on the device. Some have claimed they have, but I haven't seen any proof.

Perhaps someone will show evidence that they have and how though. But I wouldn't be counting on it. ?
[Moto X General] shallwedance:
Will this method work with the XT1049 from RepublicWirless too? I tried to find a site that offers unlock code for this particular model but has no luck yet. :(
