It seems your device is not connected properly. Read the instruction step by step carefully.

If you have already installed the qcom port. There should be a COM port that you need to choose.

And I dont think COM1 is the port your phone connected to. See in device manager what COM port your phone connected to. It should be on the latest title of the drive with parenthesis such as (COM11) etc.

Choose that on nvitem app.

MSL utility doesn't work in my case. It says file was not found on remote server. PLZ... Help :(:(:(
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
You dont need spc code to unlock the phone.

Just run it on the nvitem software and it should work.

5.1 unlock

A friend of mine is wanting to unlock their Sprint XT1056 but its running LPA23.12-39.10 (Android 5.1). I've looked thru this thread and the unlock seems to have to be done on 4.4.2, and maybe I can't downgrade it from 5.1. Is this true?

I looked thru this thread and just wanting to make sure before I give up or wast my time.

Thanks
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
You can downgrade the ROM to stock 4.4.4. But you cant downgrade the bootloader.

If you want to downgrade the ROM, you need to unlock your bootloader and install a proper recovery first.

With twrp installed you can freely downgrade the phone using flashable stock 4.4.4 zip.
[Moto X General] goukipoo:
Thank you so much, this worked! But i'm having some issues. I flashed the 4.4.2 modem, and then ran the 3 nv-unlock files which allowed the stock sprint 5.1 rom to see my ATT sim card and I could make calls with it, but i couldn't add an APN so data would work. I wanted to flash CM 12.1 which i did but it dosn't see my sim card at all, and under networks it won't allow me to select GSM. Is there something that I forgot to do?

Thanks so much, its almost there!
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
Did you already wiped everything (excluding your internal storage) before flashing the rom?
[Moto X General] goukipoo:
yep! I wiped everything. and then all my attempts to flash any rom below 5.1 would fail because it said security reasons. So i flashed the 4.4.2 modem and put back the 5.1 rom, which allowed me to unlock the sim. i can make and receive calls/SMS, but when I flashed CM 12.1, it says there is no sim installed.

any thoughts?

This Method Work With XT1060 Or Not ??
[Moto X General] ardianwindaka:
Thank you in advance, I tried the tutorial above and succeeded in xt1053 5.1, HSPA networks all went well, but in a written statusbar 4G, is that normal?
[Moto X General] riyosakura:

Did you notice calling sound bug?

When the call already connected, you cant switch between earpiece and loudspeaker. If you switched it will break the sound.

The problem is the mismatched bootloader and modem. But we cant unlock the sim on lolipop modem. Is there anyway to unlock the phone on lolipop modem?

Yep, its normal. But its not actually 4g though. Look like its a bug.

If you want to make sure if its actually 4g or not, you can check it with *#*#4636#*#*
[Moto X General] hotneutron:
XT1060 being the verizon LTE phone, it's factory unlocked for GSM use.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

You can unlock the modem using US Cellular Lollipop modem, which allows you to set the SPC to 000000, and alter the modem state. Then you can flash Verizon modem.
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
Im using xt1056, is it safe to flash other device modem on it?

If i flash xt1056 lolipop modem, it will break the sim unlock and i cant use my simcard anymore.

The only way to unlock it atm is to revert back to 4.4 modem and unlock the sim. But with 4.4 modem i get the speakerphone bug. Im using a workaround to solve it though. But it a little annoy when i must use a workaround for main feature of the phone.
[Moto X General] bso44:
If I flashed the stock 5.1 ROM but I never flashed the 5.1 modem, I should still have the 4.4 modem right? And I should still be able to use this method?
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
So you flash 5.1 rom from flashable zip?

Yes, you can use this method.
[Moto X General] bso44:
Yup. Thanks for confirming.
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
So do you have any solution for this?

Without lolipop mode, we sprint xt1056 user will always suffer loudspeaker bug until the end of the time, i suppose. :(

The only way to make it work flawless is installing a Kitkat Rom.
[Moto X General] bso44:
Has anyone tried a marshmallow ROM like CM 13?
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
Im using it as my daily driver.

The only problem is loudspeaker bug.
[Moto X General] bso44:
Damn, that sucks.
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
yap, it sucks. But its the only way to use MM now.

Btw, there is another way to solve calling problem, is to disable fluentype with changing the value in the build prop to none.

but it will cost a very low volume while calling.

btw, what are you using as your daily driver atm?
[Moto X General] bso44:
Stock rooted 5.1

Was thinking about trying a 6.0 ROM though. Any you recommend?
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
Stock rooted? Why not cm12.1? I thought it is better.

For 6.0 cm13 is the only rom ive tried as my daily driver. Rr rom and other do have more feature, but i dont use most of it.
[Moto X General] bso44:
I like some of the stock features like Moto Display.
[Moto X General] riyosakura:
IMO, Major disadvantage of stock is the white UI of Lolipop. While on cm12.1, you can install theme to make a dark UI which is more battery friendly, more polished UI, and better overall.

I know with xtheme module, we can implement dark UI on stock, but still a modified stock UI will have a flaw.

Or do you have any solution for a dark UI on stock?

Just take a look at Radius Cm13 theme, its better overall UI. Imagine you can implement those theme on stock, it will be perfect. But, it is impossible to implement it without a flaw, because the theme itself is for cm13 ROM.
[Moto X General] bso44:
I do not have a solution for dark UI on stock. I'll probably try CM13 eventually but no Moto Display is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.

Moto Xt1056 from ebay | Sim card Error after update to Android 5.1

Hi, This is Anish from India. I received this phone 2 days at a price of $120, working on 4.2. On switching it on, everything was perfect until the second last update to 4.4, the current version is 5.1. While researching I came across your solution. Let me list down few questions -

1. Request you to help me with a video tutorial if possible?

2. Does this task require bootloader unlocked and root access?

3. Following your solution, I was unable to read SPC, the SPCutility says remote servers offline. I tried other methods to find my SPC, but upon using the SPC generated from other sources, the NV item reader says the SPC is incorrect.

4. Is it possible that I unlock bootloader, root the phone and install the entire OS/firmware of an Indian version or install Nougat released last month for that matter. Will this resolve the Sim card error?

5. Is there a simple method to unlock the phone to work with any carrier across globe?

As I am based in India, I cannot approach Sprint to unlock the device.

Your response to my request would be highly appreciated. Looking forward for your reply.

Regards,

Anish

I managed to downgrade my xt1049 (Sunshine unlocked) to 4.4.2 T-Mobile. Quite nerve-racking downgrading this phone, but it went okay. After sim unlocking, I updated everything but the modem to tmo 5.1. Am I okay as-is or is there anything I should know about running an old modem on a newer rom?

Edit: cell stopped working and displayed "emergency calls only". I had to re-flash the 4.4.2 modem (making sure to do the erase modemst1 and 2) and redo the unlock steps. It's working again now.

However i am very thankful to all of you which help each other and hope the spirit will get high to higher..

[Moto X General] Eliminater74:
Its still possible. just in another location. But I have also been told that lock/unlock is not under the flag is qfprom, which is controlled visa TZ <TrustZone> ...

but anyhow, this method above I seen work recently on sprint OP7pro 5G, and my T-mo which is already unlocked anyhow, matches to his locked one and bit for me was 1 while his was 00,

he changed it and now he sees carriers opers in settings.............. but its in another location then whats posted here.

So this method is still good work and still very valuable to many others...

Just need to change some things from original work, but in all.. its good.. and truth be told, this shouldnt be attempted by peepz that have no clue what they are doing.

and always Keep a backup of your QCN before attempting this............
[Moto X General] flopadmi:

Hey all,

Big thread necro :D

I have an old Moto X from Republic Wireless, which for sentimentality reasons, I'd like to keep. It'd be great if I can unlock this and use as a GSM unit.

Does the method which @samwathegreat posted up front still work? Sorry, I have not read through all 54 pages of the thread to see what updates there may have been 😅

Cheers,

Su
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Thanks... no worries about the earlier post. -I- Should have checked myself....also, I DID notice that 8378 was inactive on the AT&T Moto X. I will attempt to investigate further.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Thanks! If you find a solution, please let me know. I appreciate this info.

Have you added the appropriate APN for you carrier? This is usually required to receive data.
[Moto X General] martinz_a:
Yes I did.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
The signal bar issue is being reported by other users as well. I'll look into it.....BUT have you tried to make a call? Call/text might be working if you haven't tried. Also, data probably won't work until you input the proper APN for your carrier.
[Moto X General] martinz_a:
I tried calling and it says "mobile network not available" Texting also doesn't work. Also CALL/SMS guard notifications appear anytime i want to perform any of the operations. As for the APN it was automatically updated by the carrier and its accurate. Thanks
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Please flash the entire STOCK SBF for the XT1056 (as per the "Return to Stock" thread), repeat the SIM-Unlock procedure from Step 1, and advise if anything changes. Process of elimination....I'm a little lost here.

I would like to get some confirmation from anyone who has done the unlock edits and is trying to use a T-Mobile SIM on xt1056.

These same SIMs both work in other devices.

Thanks!

EDIT: also [MENTION=1481181]ejlmd[/MENTION] : he advises having issues with not showing any signal, although he confirms that Talk, Text, and Data DO INDEED work.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
I would like someone who is having issues to try flashing the entire GSM Unlocked (XT1053) ROM to their phone and see if this solves the signal issues some of you are having (or at least the missing signal bars for those whom it DOES work for).

Remember - you MUST be bootloader-unlocked to do this, also, you DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible if something goes wrong and you brick your phone. This could be a solution to these issues, and once again - process of elimination. We won't know until someone tries.
[Moto X General] cellzealot:
My partner is testing this using the XT1053 firmware on his XT1056.

So far, he has not been able to get it working on his T-Mo SIMs with any firmware/radio combination he has attempted.

It is going to take a bit of time and work to try and isolate all the variables for all models and optimal performance parameters as well, probably.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Agreed. Please keep me apprised of any new findings. Also, please ensure that 1. you flashed the nv-ruim-only.txt file, and 2. that you flashed it AFTER unlocking with SPC. This NVITEM required the SPC to be sent before the value could be written. (I'm sure you did do this, so sorry to be redundant).

I'm curious how it is working for ejlmd with his T-Mobile SIM, and for fastover with his Simple Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) SIM. eljmd advises that he is having the "signal bar" issue, but fastover didn't advise of ANY issues....

[MENTION=5960203]fastover[/MENTION] : can you please advise if you are having the 'signal bar' issues?

:confused:

[MENTION=767282]cellzealot[/MENTION] : has your device ever been activated w/Sprint? I'm wondering if this has to do with PRL? It is possible that those whom it DOES work for never activated on Sprint and DON'T have a valid PRL on the device, or that they HAVE activated on sprint, and DO have a valid PRL on the device. You might try erasing modemst1 and modemst2 partitions (WHICH WILL UN-DO THE SIM CRACK) and repeat the process from Step 1. < Just a thought...
[Moto X General] ejlmd:
I flashed the Carbon ROM over the native Republic Wireless unlocked 4.4.2 ZVC ROM, after wiping data, system, cache and dalvik. I've never flashed the Sprint SBF, although I must have had a Sprint PRL since I had active RW service. I've still got calls, texts, HSPA data (refarmed area, no signal bars) on Carbon Rom with T-Mobile USA SIM. I picked the T-Mobile (not LTE) APN under settings, and also WCDMA preferred.

May I ask which thread you are referring to for flashing native T-Mobile ROM?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Sure, as you already know, you must be bootloader-unlocked to flash a rom with a different CID...and I realize that you are (just stating for others that might read).

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515

EVERYTHING you need is linked in that thread - including links to drivers, tools, and even the SBF files themselves (most important).

[MENTION=1481181]ejlmd[/MENTION]:

EDIT: DO NOT DOWNGRADE TO A PREVIOUS VERSION - make SURE the android version is the same as the last STOCK android version you had on the phone. It WILL brick your phone if you attempt to downgrade...

If you flash the 4.4.3 TMO Rom, you CAN'T go back to the Sprint ROM until they release THEIR 4.4.3 SBF - your phone could be useless until then. Don't flash anything later than 4.4.2

Good Luck!
[Moto X General] ejlmd:
Sorry if this is a noob question, but since the T-Mobile and Sprint/RW Moto X hardware are not entirely identical, doesn't the T-Mobile ROM have to be ported to be compatible with the XT1056/XT1049?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
No. Not in the case of the Moto X, at least. (this doesn't apply to other devices).

The bands that are supported by the TMO devices (and not the XT1056) will simply be unavailable...

NEVER do this unless you have a reason to (like we have), however, and ALWAYS use the same android version.

Domestic MVNOs?

So I just realized I've been getting bent over by Sprint for about 12 years now. I've done some research and decided to go with a MVNO, probably Ting, which uses the Sprint network. Possibly Net10 since they are so versatile. My questions are:

-If I do this, can I revert to CDMA and use the phone on a Sprint MVNO?

-If so, how? Do I just need a Ting SIM? OP scared me by having to flash back to Republic, so I'm worried that I need a Ting flash (which probably won't exist, see below paragraph).

-Will I get myself (or my new carrier) into trouble having a formerly locked Sprint phone showing up on their network?

Ting is intentionally sniping Sprint customers by supporting their phones explicitly (which makes me wonder, why not Verizon too?), but their website says my MEID isn't supported (presumably because of Sprint's restrictions on the Moto X). However, from Ting's website:

If the Moto X falls into this category, are there additional checks in place if the SIM is unlocked?

Also, while I'm pretty tech savvy, I'm completely new to this and have only occasionally trawled advantages of rooting/unlocking.

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
I didn't HAVE to flash back to RW - I wanted to! I WANT to stay on their service.... You must not have read my posts clearly....

A "Ting" rom does not exist. You would use the stock Sprint ROM.

If TING says your phone can not be used on their service, this will not help you. Nothing will. Presumably, Sprint has instructed Ting to not allow the Moto X on their service because it is so new, and they want the X to be exclusive to Sprint (and not it's MVNOs). They are a CDMA carrier - NOT GSM. This is only for those wishing to use a GSM carrier.

No, you won't get into any "trouble" for doing this.

This method and everything about it is completely irrelevant to Ting (or any other CDMA carriers). You CAN flash to PagePlus (or another CDMA carrier, but NOT Ting) if you would like, but my method is not required. You would follow the guide in the General Sub-forum "Flash Sprint Moto X to PagePlus" instead.

Hope this clears everything up....
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Bounty Pledgers

Bounty-Pledger Post relocated to end of thread....
[Moto X General] Department:
No, I got that. I just wasn't sure if flashing was required to re-enable CDMA at all or if it was for RW-specific reasons.

Oh well, here's hoping the carrier restrictions end when the Moto X hits its birthday in a few weeks.

I may still do this and go with a GSM carrier but Ting's ETF relief is hard to pass up.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
OK, I understand. Yes, there is something specific to the RW ROM that prevents you from going back to CDMA once on GSM (in my experience anyways).

The Sprint ROM doesn't appear to have these issues, so you SHOULD just have to flash the "nv-revert" file from the OP, reboot, and then go to Settings > More > Mobile Networks and change back to CDMA. This should put you right back on Sprint.
