[Moto X Q&A] xpsychox:
Most people would always recommend the Dev. edition because its already unlocked.. But if ur not doing anything (Roms etc) there's not really a point... I love my x bit as far as the samoled screed goes I don't know..as far as being 10 months old.. Its done well. In my opinion..but regardless how its doing...its interesting t see what other ppl think since lenovo bought moto from google ..

[Moto X Q&A] rebretz000:
I really like my Moto X. I'm happy I went with it over any other phone last year. For me it has the best features. The Active Display and Touchless controls are fantastic.

I have the Developer Edition and run Moto Stock based ROMs. Eclipse and Krypotnite. All Motorola features work on them plus there's two, going to be three stock kernels soon.

Battery life is great.

With that being said, if you don't need a phone at this time I'd wait to see what's coming. The Moto X+1.
[Moto X Q&A] tf442:
I just ordered 2 Moto X phones from Motorola to use on Verizon. I hope I am happy. There is coupon code that is easy to find. It is good for a couple more days. The 16 gig is $299 and the 32 gig is $324. I am going to go with prepaid. You get unlimited call and text and 500 mg of data for $45 a month when you bring your own phone. It says if you let them deduct the money from your checking you get 1 gig for the $45.You can buy more data.

It works for me.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
The X is still a nice device.

Going with Verizon, I would only ever consider getting the Developer Edition X for Verizon. Why? Beacause you can unlock the bootloader to root and disable write protection. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty. After unlocking the bootloader you can also flash custom or 3rd party roms.

The regular Moto Maker and "retail" Verizon X can not have their bootloaders unlocked (unless the Chinese Middleman can come through for you, which is not as reliable lately and voids your warranty). This means you can't root, can't disable write protection, and can not install anything but the factory roms. So you are STUCK with how your phone is out of the box. If Moto/VZW stop pushing updates for the X you are stuck.

Don't get me wrong, a stock X is a nice device, and will work great. But you mentioned when moto stops officially updating, which implies you want the ability to flash something later (which is only possible with an unlocked bootloader)

I like my X, I've recommended it to friends and family. Its the right size. Snappy. Responsive. The only real draw back is no SD card (I would mostly use for media), and the camera is still a little lacking for me. Light needs to be "just right" to get an awesome picture.

[Moto X Q&A] ghstudio:
I have a verizon DE phone....the phone works great with liquidsmooth (which uses 4.4.4) instead of the stock ROM. The only outstanding problem for me is that the phone will not link cleanly with my car....it connects and then disconnects and keeps repeating that loop. I've tried every standard ROM and they all have the problem...as does liquidsmooth. Bluetooth, however, works perfectly with my pebble watch. If you are concerned about it linking with your car, go to a verizon store and see if you can link the phone...and if it stays linked.
[Moto X Q&A] scoobaspeaz:
Moto X is an awesome phone! Then again you asked it in a Moto X forum :)

As for on Verizon, I agree with what others said. If you are looking for OEM dev support than Motorola is exceptional with that and has promised Android 5 on this phone. For that you only need the locked up device. If you are wondering about 3rd party ROM's like CyanogenMod then you need the dev version of the phone.

I personally have my X bootloader unlocked but I find i use the stock Motorola image over custom roms. The only thing I like about having my X unlocked is I installed Xposed framework for extra configuration options. For that you need to be rooted. Its easier to root and to sustain root if your bootloader is unlocked.

Hope this helps.
[Moto X Q&A] ntalbert000:
awesome phoen

I agree with scoobaspeaz, I have done the same thing, unlocked the boot-loader and rooted the device, but I stayed on stock rom with xposed. If you know how to use tasker, the possibilities of this phone are endless.

It is incredibly fast and responsive, even after almost a year of using it. I have never wiped the phone and started over and I've only had to actually restart the device a handful of times. I can safely say that I've restarted the device more times to show off a cool no boot animation, than I've restarted it for any other reasons.

Also, as far as getting it before the x+1 comes out.... I say get it and then when you replace it, find a way to utilize the old phone for always listening capabilities in your house. It may take some money and ingenuity, but the things you could do will be amazing.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
If you want root, buy the developer edition. Otherwise, buy one off MotoMaker.

I have several "upgrades" to burn on my family plan but haven't had any urge to grab one of the flagships on the cheap. The only thing I have ever felt was missing was an external microSD card slot and removable battery, but I bought a 64gb Sandisk Dual-USB OTG memory stick and a Jackery charger. Not as elegant but it works just the same and gives me more options for the future. I always had spare batteries and 32gb SD cards for my previous Android phones, but they became a bit of a hassle with having to power the phone down to change batteries or get access to the SD card (and SIM). My previous phones (Galaxy Nexus and Note 2) didn't have external access to either card.

Yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod through the instructions of their Wiki by flashing the boot.img included in the .zip through Minimal ADB and Fasboot and then installing the .zip through CWM. When my phone first booted, I had double tap to wake, but then when I installed Gapps and inserted my SIM and MicroSD, the feature was gone. How do I regain it?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
Hello all,

I bought a used Droid Razr M on ebay a couple of months ago...(xt907). Then let it sit around for awhile :)

I recently rooted and unlocked the bootloader, following the recent forum posts for the kitkat update.

Just today I then successfully booted into twrp recovery, and installed CM11. Then booted into CM11 - yeah! This is progress!

I now have the goal of configuring the phone to work with PagePlus (Verizon 3G network).

I have found a good toutorial at howardformums, but the toutorial is for ICS, not for KitKat. My understanding is that the radio files, configuration, etc, is different and won't work with KitKat

I also notice that CM11 has some configuration options for which radio, network, etc, within settings.

I'm trying to figure out the specifics of the following:

1) Do I need to use CDMA workshop with CM11/KitKat to configure any settings?

2) I'm assuming I'll still need a donor phone to spoof this phone as 3G on network?

3) Can I just use OTA with CM11?

4) Are there any toutorials for CM11 with 3G providers? Or any distros pre-configured for this situation?

I've made it pretty far...just looking for a little help to make it to the next step...looking forward to getting this phone activated!

Thanks for any tips!

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
One question, if you know: If I installed and configured ICS on my phone, would I then be able to upgrade to kitkat, and maintain the configuration information for my provider? Would KitKat automatically configure this info?

I honestly do not know as I'm a vzw 4g legacy plan (love that unlimited data) I don't really read the threads about gsm and other network carriers...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Well right now you've got 2 options.

1. I just recently found out that it's possible to activate a sim meid# and get calling/sms working through *228 but you need to get the meid from dfs.

This is for calling and text only data will not work other than wifi

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=15221091

2. Downgrade to jb 4.1.2. Fastboot flash the ics radio

And perform the flash as instructed on Howard forums.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=15126290

Once everything is working on JB 4.1.2 you can flash twrp recovery and run cm11 builds before 7-1 and kitstalk rom is supporting the jb bootloader as well

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

In short... No when you ota it'll flash/patch the radio and the only one programmable to page plus is the ics one. Thankfully it stayed compatible up to the last jb versions but broke on the kk update
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theemaster:
What is the best rom to use for Page Plus/selectel compatibility or should you stick with stock Verizon Jelly-bean?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Any of the jellybean bootloader roms have been working great for me. On the kk bootloader roms you can't use the ics radio so the 1st link is the only option and it won't get you data
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
Thanks for all the info and help, I may go ahead and try using the suggested roms, links, etc...

*However*

There is a topic over at howard forums discussing the possibility that PagePlus may add Verizon 4g plans very soon...there is no official verificaiton or announcement, but supposedly this could happen as soon as August? I'm tempted to just wait it out another few weeks and see if I could just use a "PagePlus 4g" sim with kitkat....

....otherwise I'll use one of the older builds

Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
I too am interested in that thread but then again most of the kk bootloader builds are more buggy than the jb ones right now. I'm currently running carbon rom from 6-30
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
So, just to clarify, even though the radio files only work for jb, I could downgrade to jb, configure, and then upgrade to CM11 up to 6-30-14? If so, I found this nightly build I could try the following file: cm-11-20140630-UNOFFICIAL-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.zip

(not allowed to post link, but found it posted by 'dhacker'
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Edit: misunderstood the question. Yes that nightly is still on the jb bootloader and the m8 snapshot is the latest/last cm11 build to support it.

Also the phone can still be programmed on cm11. The important part is the ics radio and it can be used on the jb bootloader no problem but not on the new kk bootloader
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
Thanks for the tip...I took a break, but this will help as I finally try programming everything in the next week.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
Hmmm...I just tried installing the special jb radio file on two different CM11 versions: one was m8, the other m7, and with both, it failed. I'll try another with an m6 version, but I wonder if that jb radio file (X907_Modem_SM_BP_1139.000.32.12P.xml) will only install with the earlier official verizon jb version (4.1.2)?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
I'm running it right now on pac 8-11 and have used it on just about every rom available for the razr m you say it's failing to flash? That's likely a bad download. Can you unzip it?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
I can unzip it, and I'm using Xubnuntu as my OS. I tried installing it using TeamWin recovery, and using RSD lite...both failed.

Just tried downloading it again (from link on Page Plus toutorial), and installing again with cm-11-20140720-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip. It fails in TWRP almost instantly.

Should I be using a different build? Is there another file I should flash first? I flash the cm rom, boot it one time, then try to flash the radio file...am I missing a step?

Thanks for the help...

M
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Download the whole ics fxz and edit out everything in the xml except NON-HLOS.bin and erase modemst1 and modemst2 and flash that via rsd lite. I'm not sure why your previous attempts to flash aren't working but it's not the rom.

Edit: I made this with nobe1976's flashback zip. It'll flash the jb bootloader jb kernel and a jb bootloader compatible twrp recovery and I switched out the jb radio for the ics one

Well, I was hopeful, but it just got stuck on the bootloader. No full boot.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
I'm sorry I should have mentioned that was supposed to be flashed via custom recovery, and you may have to reflash cm11 afterwards

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Cool, glad to hear. All credit goes to nobe1976 all i did was swap out the radio for the ics one.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterssze:
hi, can you post the procedure? I had the phone on pageplus with howard's method already.. Like to install CM,but not quiet understand how. thanks
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvrablik:
Hi, just tried downloading this file, booting into TWRP recovery, installing it. it then boots. Only plus so far is it overwrites the ulocked bootloader warning screen. *BUT* I now can't boot the phone into os (hangs). Tried wiping phone, reinstalling various CM roms (including a stable cm10 release), but everything fails. Can't install anything at this point. TWRP 27.0.0. It keeps warning me when I shut down or reboot that there is no os, and that I am not superuser...

Do I need to hook this phone up to my windows computer, and reinstall a different version of TWRP? Maybe an older one?

Maybe I should just install the factory jb image?

Hoping to make progress on this soon...

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Well yeah if rsd is works for you then there's nothing wrong with that. I only swapped out the jb radio for the ics one so page plus programing would take. I'll post a link to the op for the unedited zip for more info on it. I'm not sure why it didn't work for you but did for the op here

voice & text on 4.4.2

was it a 3g or 4g sim card that you used to do 1. below? I'd be perfectly happy to only use wifi, if I could keep stock 4.4.2. And are there instructions anywhere for getting the meid from dfs? can't seem to get my droid razr m to connect.

I bought a 4g micro sim, which fits but it won't activate(using the free activators) using the meid number I have - it just sends me an email saying my phone is activated. Which it is/was on PP when I was on 4.1.2, before I ran RSD Lite to 4.4.2, and the only meid# I have is the same whether the sim is inserted or not - so it's the meid that's attached to the phone, not the sim. /end rambling
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
If you have the drivers and are in BP tools mode you should be able to connect

Edit and it was a 4g blank sim
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smashing1978:
Thanks, I followed youtube.com/watch?v=mm2NKdXdHnc&list=UUT0_f2eIoEas1A0y30UHFlQ

to install the motorola driver - previously I had only installed the USB drivers, which I thought was enough, but I was missing the com driver

I got the ESN and MEID & and I used the Hex MEID to register @ exclusivecellular and the email came back that it was successful.

when I dial *228 it says "Sorry, we're having trouble activating your phone. Make sure you have a good signal and try again. Remember to turn off your old phone if you are moving your number from your old phone to this phone."

I do have 3 bars, which should be enough - but I'll try again outside when I get a chance.

Would it make a difference if my phone used to be setup to be used without a SIM card? I used RSD Lite to upgrade to 4.4.2 and then rooted and unlocked my bootloader. Could one of the numbers on the phone MEID/MIN/whatever that is registered to my old PP account be blocking it from working with the new PP account that was created for the SIM card?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Hmm take the sim out and check the meid again If you had the right one it'll change.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smashing1978:
The ESN and MEID numbers changed when the SIM card was removed. I tried it in a stock Samsung Galaxy 4, which did the same timeout thing. I'm not sure what else to try. At least it was a cheap experiment. Let me know if there's anything else you can think of.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Hmm ok was it set to NV only or ruim when you tried *228? It worked first try for me do I'm just trying to think what could be different
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smashing1978:
Nope, it's stock 4.4.2, just unlocked. I didn't make any other changes. I had added my google profile through wifi which installed my normal apps, but that's it. I'll try rsd-lite and re-install 4.4.2 fresh to make sure it's nothing weird. If that doesn't work I'll just have to give up and go back to 4.1.2 Thanks for your help, I learned a lot by giving this a try, which is always it's own reward!

*Update* used rsd-lite to go back to stock 4.4.2 and it still wouldn't activate the SIM card. So I went back to 4.1.2 and re-hacked the phone without a SIM card. That wouldn't activate either, So I just kept trying, a few times a day, 4 days later it finally activated. I'm wondering if I had been that persistent with the SIM activation if that would have eventually worked. But I'm not willing to give that a try right now, my phone is working and I have other projects to work on. If anyone can sell me a SIM card that's activated under a new PP account, I'd be very interested. - Unfortunately the new PagePlus 4G SIM's won't work for me because I'm on the Pay-as-you-go/Standard Plan and I'm not interested in paying $30 a month - last year I ended up only using $35 for the year (out of a $80/365 day plan).
