Just got this answer from US Cellular:

"Thank you for reaching out to us today in regards to unlocking your Moto X 2nd Generation. I appreciate your patience while awaiting a response. My name is Shannon and I am happy to assist you this morning.

In review of the current devices that are capable of being unlocked, the Moto X 2nd Generation is not on the list of unlockable devices. We do offer the unlocking for devices but unfortunately we cannot unlock that device. Not all devices are able to be unlocked due to software or manufacturer compatibilities. Furthermore, our network is a CDMA/4G LTE network, therefore since it is a U.S. Cellular® phone it will not be compatible on a GSM network even if unlocked. I certainly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

I have to add that I spoke with those from Motorola and they said that the phone was sent unlocked to US Cellular and that they were the ones who locked it. Also, they said that it's totally compatible with any gsm network.

I have no idea what to do next.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borxnx:
US Cellular customer service knows NOTHING about the hardware or software of any of their devices. Trust me, 15+ year USCC customer here. You'll have to get elevated to their actual Tech Support before anyone knows what they're talking about.

The XT1093 has the exact same hardware as all the other X 2014 models. US Cellular locked down the baseband, and then did not equip their employees with the knowledge of how to undo this. It's probably a good idea in most cases to NOT buy a USCC branded device unless you plan to use it on their network. People come to Team US Cellular dot com all the time trying to unlock devices to use on other carriers and even we can't help them. USCC alone can do this for you, and if they're unable/unwilling, then you're SOL.

Hello Junior,

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. I apologize for the delay in our response and I welcome the opportunity to assist you today.

Junior, that Moto X Gen 2 is a great phone; however, our devices are CDMA phone and will not work with a GSM carrier service. I also regret to inform you that we are at a time when we can only unlock certain devices we have for use with other carriers, and the Moto X gen 2 is not one of them. I would like to let you know that U.S. Cellular® has a wide variety of plan option that I’m sure will fit your needs, and since you already have a phone you can same money on some plans as well.

This is what they told me, well ill try using it on another CDMA Carrier then.

To be honest, she won't let me tinker with it anymore. I accidentally wiped half her photos last time and sync was turned off, so they didn't back up to G+.

I'm going to try and flash the Verizon Baseband, and see if there's any success there.

Verizon Baseband does actually work, but the simlock is still present. Someone should dump the NV items from a Verizon Moto X 2014. That way we can see what is different.

Please search a little to better know what is going on before you starts posting a something. For moto x first gen from sprint some chinesman selling a unlocked sprint phones and on xda they campare locked and unlocked that same version of moto x from that same carrier, but for moto x 2 xt1093 there is no unlocked version because US cellular company dont got a unlocking codes from motorola. That is a reason why any of internet sides like www. unlockingsim www. Getunlock simlock24 and many others CANT unlock our phone by IMEI number ( they have acces to motorola servers where are unlocking codes are located but for US cellular its not there) because USC dont needed this from Motorola.

US Cellular should have all 4G LTE phones available for unlock sometime in Feburary. It says so on their site. This is not an "NV Item" lock situation. These phones have been simlocked directly from US Cellular, not Motorola.

[MENTION=6044623]FlotsamRefuge[/MENTION]

I agreed in half with you... because simlock is in NV data ~ modemset1 ~ modemset2 ~ somewhere in EFS data no matter who locked network but subsidy lock value is in there

and second as is wrote on U.S CELLULAR SIDE "....every device sold after February 11, 2015 ..." our phone is sold BEFORE not AFTER , so there is possibility It does not help us

I second this ^^^. My XT1093 US Cellular Moto X has unlocked bootloader with root. SIM lock != bootloader lock.

I'm interested to see how this goes. It would be really cool if it's possible to SIM unlock the XT1093 to use on GSM carriers.

Dear Junior,

I can see from your email that this is a very frustrating situation for you and I can certainly understand why. I am afraid there is very little we can do to help you and I am truly sorry to say this.

If you will, please visit this link on our website http://www.uscellular.com/site/legal/mobile-wireless-device-unlocking.html)

From this website we will find the following information:

“Because of the difficulty in unlocking some of our 4G devices you must bring these devices to a company owned store and we will either unlock the device for you or send it to a vendor who will perform the task and then have the device returned to the store. We hope to expand the capabilities of unlocking 4G devices to other distribution locations in the near future. You can call us at 888-944-9400 or your local U.S. Cellular store to determine the closest location to you that can handle your unlocking request. There is no charge for unlocking an individual device but U.S Cellular does reserve the right to charge non - customers a reasonable fee for unlocking any bulk requests for unlocking eligible devices.”

Since you are overseas obviously you will not be able to visit a store. I don’t know if you often travel to the United States but should you anticipate a visit to the U.S. please drop by one of our stores if you are in the area.

Sincerely,

Cindee P

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Just found this on a website.

How true is this

Q:

Can I carrier "unlock" my U.S. Cellular phone?

Spoiler

Yes.

All US Cellular phones are CDMA and are able to be unlocked. They will not work on any GSM network. You can only unlock it to be used on other CDMA carriers that will allow another carriers phone to be used on their network. (i.e. Ntelos, Cricket, Straight Talk, etc)

Some US Cellular phones are world phones and can be used on GSM networks outside the US ONLY.

The SIM card and SIM card slots on U.S. Cellular phones are for LTE ONLY - they DO NOT work with ANY GSM carrier in the U.S. They also do not work on any carrier other than US Cellular.

There is currently NO WAY to "unlock" or "hack" the firmware to allow use of GSM carriers.

(Can't happen, don't even ask)
