I ordered from

Motorola Mexico website

on December 15, 3:43 p.m. Eastern time in the U.S.A. That's when I received the email receipt from Motorola.

I was billed U.S $542 (7,999 Mexican pesos). You might get it for a few dollars less or more -- depending on the currency rate at that time. Great deal, while Motorola Mexico is having Christmas sale for 7,999 pesos. Normally, it's 8,999 Mexican pesos.

Motorola Mexico will only ship phone to a Mexican address. So, I had it sent to the op's address in Mexico (@Jaocagomez). Motorola Mexico also supposedly only takes Mexican credit cards. But, by check marking the billing address is the same as the Mexican shipping address, somehow that works for out-of-country credit cards. Shhhhh..... it's a secret. ;)

A few days later, Motorola then sent me FedEx tracking number to show shipment from China to Mexico, and to op's address. I forwarded the tracking number to him.

Arrived today -- December 24 -- at his address. He opened the box with my permission, and sent me pictures, to ensure it was all there.

He's performing turnaround shipping service for a reasonable fee ($40 + FedEx or DHL shipping charges to your address), to help XDA members get their hands on this phone.

If you are interested, contact him for the shipping address.

When does the Motorola Mexico sale end?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
NIce.

I ordered mine a few days after you. I contacted jaoca the first time around but my Amazon order of the Droid Turbo shipped. I'm disappointed by all the extra crap on here even with most of it disabled. I may also be jumping to conclusions with this but apparently Motorola Connect doesn't work on the Turbo with T-Mobile, I only came to this conclusion as 1 other person in the same situation. But mine is in the line with Moto so....soon! Hopefully.

Joined just for this

Hey guys,

I'm a huge fan of the Moto Maxx, and was bummed to hear that there is no US variant coming out. After searching endlessly for a solution to get one without paying $1000 for it, I bought a Moto X 2014 with the coupon code provided on Black Friday, since that was what I found to be the best other option. Well that still hasn't arrived due to some backorder that never should have happened, leading me back to look at other phone options and I found this.

I messaged Jaocagomez already, and am so excited to hear if he can still do this so I can return my X (when it arrives...) for a Maxx!!

Been a big reader of XDA, but never joined and just read. Now it's time to contribute. First post so excited to hear back from Jaoca!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Only Motorola knows. It's supposedly a Christmas sale... and today is Christmas. If you want it at this price, don't dally. :)

Possible to buy out of America??

Hi everyone,

I am following this phone from the beginning. I read from the Motorola Droid Turbo with Verizon in EEUU and afterwards the Motorola Moto Maxx in Mexico, Brazil and another counties of South America.

The problem is that in Europe this phone does not exist, but simply Motorola Moto Maxx is the "special smarthphone". From my view of point, it has everything.

I was thinking to buy by ebay, because it is the only solution, but the problem is that the people by ebay ask for 4 or 5 times the original value of the smartphone, so does anybody know any other cheaper way to buy the phone?

Cheers
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Buy it from Motorola Mexico website, following directions in this thread. Send it to op's address for turnaround shipping.

Use Google to see what 7,999 Mexican pesos are in your currency. Add U.S. $40 fee + DHL/FedEx shipping charges from Mexico to wherever you are. There's your total.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
Chazz, you bought it during the Christmas sale right? I just got an email saying my order was delayed further, from 01/07 to 02/01, did you have the same initial expected date of 01/07?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I ordered during Christmas sale when the Moto Maxx came back in stock and price dropped to 7,999 Mexican pesos.

I ordered/paid with credit card on December 15. My first estimated delivery date, from the Motorola email receipt, was January 2. Then a few days later I received FedEx tracking number from Motorola to show shipment from China to Mexico and the delivery date was revised to December 24. The phone was almost delivered December 23 -- but the courier had already departed for the day. Finally was delivered by FedEx and signed for on December 24.

[MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] says he will be shipping it out today, via FedEx to my U.S. address. He tried on December 24, but they had closed for the day. Then, yesterday was Christmas, so everyone was closed. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
Hi guys, this is OP jaocagomez

so far reporting the current order status

i have 20 emails with almost 15 success orders.

and currently the phones sent by motorola are 8 (be patient they will ship)

here's the current list of phones sent and their status on FEDEX

its normal for packages to get stuck on mexican customs, some stay one day some 3 days, but all are moving.

so far only 1 has gone to their respective owner. which its chazzmatt and should arrive on tuesday or wednesday.

i have orders mostly from USA, but also spain, Czech Republic and australia. i dont say names to respect their privacy.

i have 3 things to say to you

First, the moto maxx promotion should be almost over, dont expect it to last before dec. 31 2014, so if you want to buy keep in mind that.

i wont open your phone's boxes until you said so, but i highly recommend you let me open it to check if its complete and it works (screen mostly).

I foresee trouble with the shipping money, with 15 packages coming and around 50 dollars each one, its gonna be a issue for me having to pay for all them because i cant pay fedex with paypal, so i might need to ask some or all of you to send me money by western union or a service like that. i'll let you know by mail if i need to.

for the moment thats all.

merry chrismas to everyone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
chazz thanks for the reply, I was contacted again by moto and everything is moving along, faster than my initial ETA from the automated system.

Jaoca, let me know how you want to arrange things, I'm very flexible. Again, I want to give you a big shout out and say thank you for all your help, not only me but everyone on the forum, also the quick responses via email!

here's now

Moto Maxx Factory Image, rooted but no custom recovery.

MOTO MAXX (XT1225) FACTORY IMAGE (Puerto Rico)

http://1drv.ms/1CNhEMo

So, if you flash that you should be able to upgrade to Lollipop with OTA update from Motorola.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] greentofu:
Ah, I'm stupid. Hesitated too long and missed it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
well, at 8,999 pesos (U.S. $611) that's still not a bad deal. Add US $90 for turnaround fee ($40) + FedEx/DHL/UPS shipping (about $50), and you are still around U.S. $700. eBay has Moto Maxx for $750 - $800. So, approximate $700 total price is still not bad for the phone you are getting.

I paid $779 for my first Moto Maxx off eBay. Yeah, I'm getting the 2nd one for around $640, total. But $700 is still not a bad deal.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] greentofu:
True, but I'd be paying more being from Canada. Phone is about 711 in Canadian, 90 for the shipping and Jacao fees which is about 110, then the customs too, which I would guess is about 100 (I think that's the ballpark range)? Still very much want it though. Just trying to justify myself on spending $900+. I've been going back and forth the last 3 days on this phone. Still better than getting a nexus 6 32 gb only locally.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dolbibyte:
Hello, could someone post exact dimensions and weight of Moto Maxx box (with the phone itself and all accesories inside), please? Thanks in advance
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Moto Maxx box:

3 6/8" (wide) x 3.0" (high) x 6 3/8" (long)

English measurements, my tape measure doesn't have metric. The box I have on hand is from from Puerto Rico.

Weight? Don't know. UPS says the package coming from Mexico is 0.5KG -- but that's with a packing box/packing envelope too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tasty_boy:
someone got a RETAIL Version from Brazil???

how to get the RETAIL firmware??

i want to flash it, and dont wait till my carrier got the Lollipop Update!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
No Moto Maxx has Lollipop yet. Retail or factory.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tasty_boy:
dude, you got it wrong...

i just want the brazilian 4.4.4 version... Retail
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gqskrub:
Has this phone been tested in Verizon?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
No CDMA, no worky.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I'm just quoting you. You're the one who said you wanted to flash it and don't want to "wait till my carrier got the Lollipop Update!"

That means you want Lollipop now -- from another retail carrier ROM --, and don't want to wait until your carrier gets it.

Instead, you have Moto Maxx from Brazil and you just want to return to out-of-the-box condition? That's totally different from what you wrote.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
My Mexican Moto Maxx is still on schedule to be delivered by end of today, 12/30/2014. At 4 am, arrived at the UPS distribution center for the Atlanta, Georgia metro area.

I ordered it 12/15/2014 at 3:45 pm from

Motorola Mexico website

.

So, 15 days from the time I ordered from Motorola Mexico website until it arrives at my door -- thanks to [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION]. Would have been even less time, but we lost a day or two due to major holiday of Christmas Day happening (shipping closed). :)

Arrived via FedEx to Mexico from China 12/24/2014 (9 days). Then, shipped to USA via UPS 12/26/2014, thanks to the turnaround shipping service [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] is offering in this thread.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mufakir:
How did you order from the Motorola Mexico website? It won't let me punch in the zip code, keeps saying invalid zip code and the country is set to Mexico by default.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Here, read the link below. The op of this thread, [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION], will let you ship it his work address in Mexico. He will receive it, then turn around and ship it to you for a very reasonable $40 fee + FedEx/DHL/UPS shipping charges to wherever you live.

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/ge...ion-coming-t2922398/post57520343#post57520343

Contact him and he'll give you his shipping address. Read that link, all the details are there but here's the short version:

You put in his Mexican address for shipping. Then, paying by credit card, you check mark the box that says the credit card billing address is same as shipping address. It works -- even though it's not true. ;)

Motorola will bill your credit card, and send you an automated delivery estimate date. Ignore that. Within a couple of days they will then send you a more accurate delivery estimate with FedEx tracking from China to Mexico. Send that FedEx tracking to [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] so he can also know when to expect it will arrive.

He'll open the box for you and make sure everything is OK before he send it on to you. Here's pictures of my Mexican Moto Maxx phone at his work address (December 24):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57727317&postcount=505

You then send him PayPal fee + shipping charges for him to send the phone to you.

Phone is carrier unlocked from the factory and works on AT&T and T-mobile LTE bands.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Mexican Moto Maxx arrived!

[MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION], it arrived! And guess what? The phone was still on! Talk about stand-by time! When did you turn it on to check, afternoon of December 24? You boxed it up and didn't open it again after that, right? When I opened the package and opened the box, the phone was displaying the time. Not my time here in Georgia, but whatever default time period it's set.

I started taking pictures as I was opening the package, and the phone still being on was quite a surprise! :)

I did not turn the phone on. It was already on! Battery life, wow. All the way from Mexico, since December 24. Today is December 30.

When I opened the Moto Maxx box lid, it sensed my hand and turned on the display. See the time under the screen protector?

At that point, I hit the power button on the side and it warned me the phone would shut down.

Sure, not connected to carrier or wi-fi, but still awesome standby time!

Everything is there, of course. Thank you again!

This is my 2nd Moto Maxx, but the price was too good to pass up. Now, I also feel comfortable experimenting a little more since I have a backup. :)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Congrats Chazz!

It's awesome to know that a helpful person like you has the same phone as me :D

I have one request :o

Do you think you could make a TWRP backup of that clean mexican firmware with stock recovery and share it with me?

Your last backup from Puerto Rico worked perfectly with my phone but I would love to have the stock ROM that originally came with my phone.

Thank you for any help you can provide :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I can do it over the next day or so. I'm off Thursday, Friday, Saturday this week. Didn't have time to mess with it last night (as much as I wanted to).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:

I have those same days off so I can mess with my awesome Maxx ;)

Thanks Chazz, you really are the best.

Posting to remember to come back to this thread. I'm heavily contemplating whether I should let my Nexus 6 go or not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Skrilax_CZ:
I have a question: does "Entrega estimada enero 19, 2015" mean that they expect to ship by Jan 19 or that they expect delivery by Jan 19? It's kinda confusing from Google translate :P and I dunno if they were ok with my order or not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
it means expected delivery jan 19
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hidea:
Not to put any pressure, but when a great developer like [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] is trying to get their hands on the Moto Maxx, it doesn't leave much room for imagination. Only great things can happen ;).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Skrilax_CZ:
Hopefully there will be a lot of similarities with Nexus 6, so things will go smooth.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Skrilax_CZ:
I guess their delivery predictions are far off since they have not shipped yet. Same as it was with Droid MAXX (was out of stock, but website wasn't updated) back in while.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
dont worry, if you got the confirmation they will ship it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] snowboardwcu:
hi all. received my moto maxx from Jaocagomez the other day. just getting around to really playing with it. its awesome. to note: Jaocagomez provided excellent correspondence and aided me in other fashions to get this deal to work. big props to him!

couple of things:

1. works with USA AT&T right out of the box. slap the sim in and its set itself up, ready to go. LTE works well too. no issues so far.

2. using Droid Turbo Otterbox. great fit, nice design, proper protection for screen and edges.

3. bootloader unlock went smoothly.

4. thanks to everyone out there posting their own backups for us. been having trouble finding actual motorola factory images so i appreciate the community support.

[IMG="phone"]http://i.imgur.com/VM7RIpZ.jpg[/IMG]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Works with AT&T even better than we realized. I found Motorola kept LTE band 5 enabled, even though it's not in the official Moto Maxx specs.

A few months ago, when this phone went through the FCC, it had LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 17. Certified FCC test results show that.

AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 17 mostly, but also LTE band 5 in some markets. So, it would have been PERFECT AT&T phone.

SAME FCC ID number

However when sold in Latin American countries -- including Puerto Rico, which is U.S. territory -- under the same FCC ID number, the official Moto Maxx (XT1225) specs show only LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 17. It LOOKED like Motorola had disabled LTE band 5 and enabled LTE band 3 (as that is used in many Latin American countries). LTE band 5 is not used in Latin America countries, it's a USA AT&T thing. (Motorola also enabled two more GSM bands.)

SURPRISE! After rooting the phone and using QPST and QXDM -- detailed extensively in other threads, I found Motorola kept LTE band 5 enabled. It's just not in the official specs.

REPEAT: Motorola did NOT disable LTE band 5 after FCC certification. All they did was enable additional LTE band 3 (and the two additional GSM bands).

So, this Moto Maxx (XT1225) phone really has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17. Stock. Out of the box.

I confirmed it's not just the Puerto Rico phone (which was my first Moto Maxx) but also the Mexican Moto Maxx. Plus, since all have the same FCC number printed on the box, they have identical capabilities. For some reason, Motorola does not want to admit this -- maybe because of people like us IMPORTING this phone to the USA to use on AT&T? :silly: Verizon probably paid a LOT of money for U.S. exclusivity!

Unlockable bootloader, rooted, etc. So much better than a Verizon Moto Droid! :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] snowboardwcu:
hey ChazzMatt, funny you post this here, i was reading your posts on this last night and was gonna play with this more today. a little unfamiliar with the 'nv' stuff so research is needed. btw if you need me to test anything let me know, i'll be glad to help.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lovetohustle:
hey snowboardwcu, I bought the otterbox defender that's made for the Droid Turbo on VZN as well for the Moto Maxx XT 1225 PR variant I'm looking at your picture, how come you don't have the two spots for the motion detector on the lower part of your Moto Maxx?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Here in Atlanta area on AT&T all I'm seeing is LTE bands 2 and 17, using the

LTE Discovery app

(which is very neat).

I know up in parts of Illinois, Indiana, Vermont, New Mexico, southeast Florida, and apparently northwest Michigan AT&T is using LTE band 5.

All those running this phone on AT&T, download that app and see what bands are being picked up. Would love a verified sighting of LTE band 5 on AT&T, on this phone.

The readout says LTE band 5 is enabled, whether Motorola admits it or not. ;) Same thing happened with the iPhone a few years ago (2012?) Apple had additional LTE bands for future AT&T rollout which were NOT in the "official" specs.

sweet app/ here in philly i'm on band17. however philly is a weird area and i bet at work its different. i'll report back if i find it working on other bands. FCC app reporting 12Mbps at -111dBm. this is fantastic for where i live in philly. used to get 1-1.5 Mbps on VZW.
