Hurrah! this has been fixed WOO!.
see here.
well done guys, you have made me a happy g2 owner again!!
Hi Everyone,
i figured we might need to clean up the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805024
conversation.
as i see it, there are 2 issues
1. people receive an unlock code, the phone accepts it but then it cannot find any network
2. people receive an unlock code, have troubles entering the code but eventually get it in ok.
please do not post anything "setting" related - apn's, bands etc as this has been tried and shown not to work (yet)
it might be helpful if people who have issue number 1 could post some answers to some questions.
as i am not at all smart enough to work out what we need to know from these people, id appreciate it if those in the know could pm me what they think could be useful, and ill make a template for people to follow
troubleshooting template

Current Theories: (please PM me if i have anything wrong here or if i need to add details.)
-------------
Theory #1
Ghul99: the code is accepted, but the phone is still locked?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=121
------------
interesting information
this seems to support theory #1
1. i unlocked phone - code entered successfully, and i was no longer prompted to enter an unlock code
2. i perm-rooted my phone - all went to plan
3. i put the vision rom on my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834450) loaded ok
4. i put a sim in my phone and now i am prompted for an unlock code.
5. i tried to re-enter my code but it would not accept it (it is the same code from step 1)
Nice idea for taking the initiative to clean up the thread which was getting excessilely long!
I'm hoping we can see some progress in a few days as I'm really missing being able to get any cell reception on a MOBILE PHONE!?
Regards.
I will summerize my knowledge later but one thing upfront.
IntuativNipple posted today in IRC that he found the way to get real S-OFF which would also allow SIM-unlock without code.
So there is hope for a solution, but keep your patience.

Just to help guhl and catch up with some unnecessary posts.
Common solutions like Reboot, different sims to try, Hard reset, flash stock ROM or trigger the unlock window to reenter the code doesn't work
Summary of my knowledge so far
For case 1 which was the original problem my theory is the following.
Cause:
Because of problems with the write procedure to the emmc memory the MCCMCN to which the phone is locked did not get cleared but set to an arbitrary value in my case "C3AB".
The CID value is still the same as it used to be (and also in case of a successful unlock would stay the same) which is "T-MOB010". The CID is a 8 character string and the case where all characters are the same (i.e. "11111111") is called Super-CID.
It is of no relevance if you use or used the hardware or software keys, T-Mobile or third party sources. The only reason where it would be your fault is if you pulled the battery!
The unlock-code that we possess (regardless if official or from a different source) is not valid to unlock the phone from this value "C3AB". If one tries again (directly with the modem, using my modified libril.so or a different ROM) the lock counter will increase.
Potential ways to repair this state:
1. Give it back to T-Mobile if you can In my opinion this is a clear warranty case
2. Find someone who has the MegaSIM and the HTC-diag software.
This will definitely work but it is going to be hard to find someone because the SIM is rare and very new.
3. Wait until (or help achieving) the so called "real S-OFF" state of the phone (when also the radio has security disabled) is reached.
When this is achieved one can disable the SIM-lock without any code.
There are still some very good developers after this goal even if for different reasons.
Which information could help us:
1. The output of the following AT-Command sequence from successful and unsuccessful unlocks
Code:
ATE1
ATV1
[email protected]?
[email protected]?AA
[email protected]?40
[email protected]?80
I will try to write a HowTo later for Windows.
For linux see the following posting from the old thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8750299&postcount=121)
2. The next thing that would help is a logcat from the first unlock process itself.
Howto:
Start the first logcat using the USB-cable and adb before you boot the phone with the foreign SIM.
Code:
adb logcat -b radio > lc_unlock.txt
leave the logcat running and complete the unlock procedure till the phone reboots (the logcat will end automatically)
As soon as the first logcat exits start a new one using:
Code:
adb logcat -b radio > lc_after_unlock.txt
leave it running for 1 minute and then stop it using <Ctrl>-C
3. The next thing that really would help is that you do not post anything in this thread (use the old one instead) that has to do with:
- the APN
- trying another SIM (you would be very lucky if you had one that fits the arbitrary SIMlock)
- reboot, factory reset, use a stock or non stock firmware
- use the hw/sw-keyboard, wait for the right outside temperature or other esoteric procedures
Finally I would like to ask moodecow to edit his original posting and incorporate or link everything that he finds important or helpful in his posting so that it will stay an top.
That is some very exciting news, thank you for the update!
One quick question, when we achieve radio-s off it esssentially would mean everyone could unlock their phones for free?
Thanks.

I have 2 ideas, which can help:
1. For people before unlock - maybe performing S-off before unlock will help.\
2. For people after unlock: in bootloader there is "SIMLOCK" option. When you open it, it shows file not found etc. As I think, it can be used to simlock phone for operator, whose numbers are in some file. There is my solution - find what that files are in phone's source code or by any other method, then put them in right place, enter numbers of operator you want to use, open that "SIMLOCK" and lock phone to your network. I don't know if it will work, but it makes some sense.

Your first idea sounds reasonable and I would support it.
Your second idea is something that is worked on, but you do not only need the correct file (which is actually called DMCID.dat) but there also has to be some "magic number" (like on a gold card) on the micro-sd card.
an important piece of info to carryover from other thread:
1- No APNs are listed
2- if you try to define one, it doesnt save
No APNs being listed is related to the rom more or less, not the issue we're having.
APN is software issue, correct me if I'm wrong so either way it shouldn't pose as an issue to us.
im saying its a symptom that seems to go along with the problem in the title of this thread, so, worth noting.
ie: i think everyone who has the post-unlock no-connection problem, cannot save APNs. all others can.
if you are a counterexample please say so. that would help.

i have got HTC MEGA SIM and Almost all DIAG files but
T-mobile G2 case =After putting unlock code NO NETWORK cant be solved because when we give s58 clear command it shows SIMLOCK CORRUPTED
i can post the detailed info and pictures if you want it would be a pleasure if could help in any kind of DEVELOPMENT
BTW
if we don t put code in the same version,same country,purchased in the same lot of handsets and use MEGASIM directly without touching anything than it works perfect

So if megasim has failed due to corruption I think that the only way to solve our issue is to write directly to emmc partition holding locking information. And I don't now how easy and plausible this is...
I think if we get S-Off for Radio, we'll be able to write to that partition. I hope

I am a little bit worried about writing this information directly because the partition will be encrypted.
And also copying the complete partition from a working phone or one that is still unlocked will not be an option because the IMEI will also be there and we would not want to overwrite that.
So my hopes are more that there is some kind of a restore procedure from a secure area (I know that Nokia phones can do this, but HTC ?) or that we can lock the phone again with the SIMLOCK option in hboot.

Hi there.
I hope I've posted this in the right place, I never was good with this
Anyway - my GF found an almost new Galaxy S4 i9505, that some Chinese guy lost (given it was all in chinese). Before you start with the "right things to do" - We couldnt unlock it as it is protected with PIN so we couldn't call anyone, and there was no SIM card in it, so we didn't know where to go with it and just kept it. Like you wouldn't Right or wrong - where I'm from - taking it to the police would result as a new gift for some officers' son...
The problem is - I know the phone can be traced via IMEI by the police and/or mobile provider, so I was planning to change it.
I already wiped it, flased a stock 4.4.2 ROM from Samsfirmware with UK & IRE CSC (BTU), and then a custom ROM over it (cuz I like it). IMEI is still the same as for the 15 digits, but the last part, after the "/" char, is changed. (<IMEI> / <some 2 digit number>).
Is that enough, or does the whole IMEI have to change?
I've tried everything I found on the web, including the QPSTConfig program, but it just doesn't let me enter the "nvm" folder in the file explorer, as shown in a tutorial video...
The other problem is - the "secret codes" don't work on this phone, only some of them (show IMEI, 0808, and a few more, for example - the ##DATA# doesn't work...).
Any ideas - suggestions?
Again, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this, and thank you for your help in advance. :good:
Mod Edit
Changing imei is illegal.
Please do not discuss these things on XDA

Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Could be many reasons, you don't have enough information yet to know. Crucially, you failed to paste the verbatim error and the context surrounding it here. Or even link to the theme you refer to. So we don't have much to go on.
As it is labeled as an OTA theme, it will be specifically formatted for that custom ROM. So wouldn't it make more sense to seek help in the custom ROM support thread?
The actual error could be anything from a corrupt download (did you verify the md5 checksum or try downloading the theme again?) to a marginal USB cable (did you try a different USB cable and port?). Or many other things. Did you search the support thread to see if anyone else was troubleshooting similar issues?
.
Sorry, I'm completely new to the forum so don't know my way about.
How would I go about obtaining/providing the verbatim error?

You can copy and what you see on screen from the log that Odin or Kies makes. Or alternately make a screenshot.
Most questions could be expediently answered by a search of the forum too. But for some reason, most people don't try that.

I appreciate that, I did try looking via the forum before asking but didn't find any mention of 'verbatim'...
I also searched for the errors I am experiencing and whilst I found several other threads, none are a similar scenario to mine.
I am not using Odin or Kies, I was able to root my phone successfully, and installed the Alliance Rom with no issues.
My issue occurs after downloading an the OTA update/theme and then going into recovery mode > Install Zip > Choose zip from /sdcard > OtaDownloads/ > Install Black_Glass_S5
I ticked to check the MD5 sum, it came back with with 'MD5 check: error'
Signature verification causes the 'E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed' errors.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.

And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.
The error message, in context, tells us that you either tried to check md5 on a file that doesn't have a md5 - therefore a spurious error. Or the file was profoundly corrupt.
.
It's not my intention to be vague, I simply do not know what information is relevant/beneficial to you.
I deleted the file and then re-downloaded a new copy but it still won't unzip the file, the issue also occurs for another OTA file.
If there's specific info I can provide then by all means let me know and I'll provide it.
Appreciate the help and patience - evidently I'm still a noob when it comes to all the features/tools.

If you were already an expert, you could pare down the details in your post to the minimum amount needed. But when seeking help in an area that is new to you, you should provide the maximum amount of information. If in doubt post more, rather than exclude something when troubleshooting.
Nothing impairs someone from providing effective help as much as missing crucial details. The only things you should withhold are personally identifying info e.g. serial numbers.
Someone knowledgeable trying to help you can easily sift through too much info. Not the reverse.

Do you mount your SD card into a USB card reader and then use in a USB port on your desktop or laptop?
because if you accidentally made the "E" port into "read only" on one file, or anything on the drive it could have locked the entire drive down, which to me is exactly
what it sounds like,
put the card back into your desktop, right click as if you were ejecting drive. select properties> preferences> share file settings and set to "Everyone"
yes i know its old, but its not a bad thing to bring up to answer for other newbies right on front page.
thanks this helped me a lot

Greetings fellow XDAers,
It's finally happened: SIM-Unlock for the Sprint Moto X (XT1056)
(International-use Only. Anyone in the U.S. - Don't bother at the moment. Myself and some others are looking into the possibility of extending the SIM-CRACK to U.S. users, but RIGHT NOW, not possible. Sorry.) NOW EXTENDED TO DOMESTIC U.S. USERS AS WELL! - I have discovered the domestic-unlock solution!!!!
First, a little background:
Since its debut in August, 2013 many people have been trying to crack the SIM-LOCK on the XT1056. Many have tried and long since given up. I officially became involved in the project in May, 2014, and since then, had taken over the project. After much research, I determined that a Chinese hacker had found the solution and was offering a SIM-Unlock service on Taobao.com. This individual was extremely secretive about his methods - and told no one the solution. In order to use the service, you had to SEND your XT1056 to China to be unlocked (for fear of someone discovering his method). Then, a short time afterwards, the listing completely disappeared from Taobao, never to be seen again. Afterwards, sellers only offered PRE-SIM-CRACKED XT1056's on Taobao. Fortunately, I had already discovered (by reading his prior listing), that the SIM-Unlock required that you NEVER erase the modemst1 and/or modemst2 partitions (the equivalent of EFS/baseband cache on the Moto X).
At this point, I knew without a doubt that the key was in the modemst partitions. The breakthrough, however, didn't come until Mid-July, when another XDA Member: @yefonme posted to the thread that they had obtained a China-SIM-Cracked XT1056. This user confirmed the information I already knew by telling me that the seller advised that they must never erase the modemst partitions or the SIM-Unlock would be lost. This user generously offered to assist in helping find the solution, just for sheer curiosity - they wanted to know HOW the SIM-Unlock was achieved.
At this point, I thought we had everything we needed. Knowing that the key lies in the baseband cache, I requested various users to use a tool to backup their modemst1/modemst2 partitions, and send them to me for comparison with a HEX-Editor. Several users obliged, but unfortunately, we hit another roadblock -- the EFS partitions turned out to be ENCRYPTED TO HELL! That method was going nowhere. Then I realized that upon erasing the baseband cache (modemst1/modemst2 partitions), that all NV-ITEMS were reset to their factory defaults. BINGO! This means that the baseband cache partitions MUST store the encrypted contents of NVRAM!
This meant we had another option! Using standard CDMA tools, we could do a "DUMP" of the values stored in NVRAM. Another user, @ezeuba, suggested a simple tool, and provided instructions for the other's involved to DUMP the contents of their NVRAM, for comparison. Another big issue: Since many NVITEMS are inactive / restricted, even between 2 Sprint SIM-Locked devices, it made it completely impossible to use a utility to run a differential comparison between these NV-DUMPS. This meant that the NV-ITEMS had to be compared manually, by-hand.
I spent countless hours scouring through the data, comparing the THOUSANDS of NV-ITEMS from the China-Cracked XT1056 with the dumps provided by the Sprint SIM-Locked users. It was taking forever! I knew that the key to comparing the NVITEMS was finding values that were the SAME on all the Locked XT1056s, but DIFFERENT, only on the SIM-CRACKED XT1056. If a particular NVITEM differs between 2 or more LOCKED XT1056s, it is likely not the value we are looking for.
Then, finally, I came across an NVITEM that struck me as unique. It was the SAME on all the LOCKED XT1056's I analyzed, but different ONLY on the CRACKED XT1056. I was hesitantly optimistic, and posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54334931&postcount=250
Well, my intuition was Spot-On, and this DID turn out to be the proverbial "smoking gun". Another user (ignoring my suggestions to WAIT and let another user who had offered to donate an XT1056 mainboard try it first) went ahead and wrote the new value as I had suggested. BAM!!! And the rest is HISTORY.
OK, so enough about the history, and on to the solution!!!!!
So the key lies in NVITEM # 8378
On the China-Cracked XT1056, the value was "01"
On all the SIM-LOCKED XT1056's, the value was "00"
That's all there is to it. You can use the CDMA Tool of your choice to write "01" to NVITEM 8378 to achieve SIM-Unlock!
You will also need to change the RUIM config to "RUIM-Only" in order to prevent the phone from reverting to CDMA-mode upon reboot. This is controlled by NVITEM 855 (see instructions in post # 2)
This method is KNOWN to unlock for all international GSM carriers, but DOES NOT unlock for Domestic U.S. carriers. Something else is in place, it appears, that BLOCKS the United States MCCs. NOW EXTENDED TO U.S. USERS AS WELL!!!
POST # 2 in this thread will be reserved for complete instructions for those of you who aren't familiar with how to write NV-ITEMS. These instructions are courtesy of @ezeuba.
POST # 3 will be reserved for detailed instructions on how to install the necessary DIAG Drivers, and how to manually FORCE driver installation, if necessary.
I believe in giving credit where it is due, so I want to personally thank:
* @hsngt and @jaaa1976 - who provided me with the NVDUMPS I used to find the SIM-Unlock method. @jaaa1976 was the FIRST person to be unlocked by my method
* @ezeuba for providing these users with step-by-step instructions on how to READ and SAVE said NVITEM dumps.
* @Vivjen for support and generous offer to donate a XT1056 mainboard (which turned out to be unnecessary)
* @crabbyone for encouraging me to take a 2nd look at NVITEM # 8322 (which turned out to be the Domestic Unlock solution)
* @Arnold Snarb for originally discovering the property of NVITEM # 8322 (which unlocked the Razr M for domestic use)
* All the others who submitted EFS and/or NVDUMPS (even though I didn't use them to find the solution)
* Everyone who believed in me and provided encouragement and moral support ( that includes YOU, @KJ )
* Everyone who makes good on their bounty pledges and everyone who DONATES (paypal: [email protected] )
* Everyone who is appreciative and gracious for the ENORMOUS amount of time I've spent making this SIM-Unlock possible for everyone
* The China-man who found the solution FIRST, even though he didn't share it with anyone and intended to only use it for Profit (I bet he is PISSED at me -- he was charging $80 U.S. for EACH unlock )
*** and ESPECIALLY @yefonme --- without YOU, NONE of this would be possible.
[Q]: How much should I donate to you for all the time (weeks) you spent working on this?
[A]: Please donate what you feel it is worth to you. The XT1056 can be found far cheaper than any other Moto X Variant, and now that we can SIM-UNLOCK it, it will become much more popular. If I have saved you money, or added value to the phone you already own, I would appreciate being compensated accordingly. I realize that some are not able to donate, and I understand.

DO NOT email me asking for help with this. I won't answer you. *Post in the Thread* - this is the only way you will get support. I'm sure that you understand...
Additional info:
This works for all Republic Wireless XT1049's also, but ONLY if you can unlock the bootloader (only possible through the "China Middleman" - use search). You MUST flash the Sprint XT1056 ROM to your RW XT1049 device for this to work for you.
DISCLAIMER:
If you use my SIM-CRACK, I'm not responsible for ANYTHING that goes wrong. USE CAUTION! If you hit the wrong button, or write the wrong NVITEM, you could end up in BIG TROUBLE (possible BRICK). You have been warned.
And lastly, YOU MAY ---NOT--- COPY ANY PART OF MY SIM-UNLOCK METHODS. YOU MAY NOT SHARE/RE-DISTRIBUTE MY FILES, OR POST THEM TO OTHER SITES. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE THING IS TO ---LINK--- THIS THREAD TO OTHER SITES. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO STEAL MY (OR ANYONE ELSE'S) WORK!!!!! I will be extremely offended if I find that someone stole my work and posted it elsewhere. ONLY Link this thread. Don't copy any or all of its contents elsewhere. PERIOD.
^This is NOT an unreasonable request....
FULL INSTRUCTIONS
!!!!! A WORD OF WARNING:
Once you complete this method, it is possible that you will NEVER be able to use your phone on Sprint / CDMA again! I -stupidly- flashed my Republic Wireless XT1049 (I should have known better -- I am using their service, and had no intentions of switching to GSM) in attempt to get better results / instructions for you guys. Now my phone is STUCK in GSM mode, the roaming indicator will not go away, I can't make calls on CELL, and no matter what I've tried, I cannot revert back. Not flashing my EFS backup, nor flashing back to stock, nor erasing the modemst partitions has been able to get me back on CDMA. PRL is STUCK on "1", and no matter how many times I write a new PRL, it won't stick. I'll be lucky if I can get my phone back in working order.....
^EDIT to above: This turned out to be EASILY fixed by flashing the entire SPRINT SBF to my Republic Wireless device, then, subsequently flashing back the Republic Wireless ROM (I WANT to STAY on Republic Wireless). DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS SIM-Unlock on the Republic Wireless ROM. Something about the RW ROM prevents you from going back to CDMA once on GSM. Flash the SPRINT ROM, FIRST, if you want to GSM-Unlock your Republic Wireless XT1049. The SPRINT ROM does not seem to have this issue, so you are probably OK, but take caution, nonetheless. I'm finally back on Republic Wireless (CDMA) after hours of frustration and fear that I was permanently stuck on GSM.
I don't recommend this if you plan to ever go back to CDMA / Sprint Probably fine - But once again, use caution.
Still want to continue? ------> Don't blame me if you end up STUCK on GSM
If you want my support, you must be on the Stock XT1056 Sprint ROM. I will not support any other ROMS from any other variants, or any custom roms. If you change roms, good luck, but no support will be provided. Additionally, support will ONLY be provided by posting to this thread. Do not email me or PM me with questions. I'm sure you understand...
AND Don't forget: This DOES NOT unlock for Domestic use, in the United States. Blame Motorola/Sprint. Something else is in place, it seems, that BLOCKS the U.S. MCCs. If you live in the U.S., DON'T BOTHER, unless you plan to sell your device to someone overseas. Myself and others are looking into the possibility of extending the SIM-Unlock to those in the U.S., but hasn't happened YET. I've also discovered the DOMESTIC UNLOCK solution now, as well!!!
FIRST, you must be in DIAGNOSTIC MODE:
You MUST have "USB Debugging" DISABLED, or the DIAG Port will NOT activate!!!
ezeuba said:
There are 2 ways to get to DIAG mode on this device. If ##3424# doesn't work, you can try the default for most Motorola devices: Power off phone. Hold down BOTH Volume Buttons and press the Power Button (It's called the 3-finger salute). When the phone boots, it will display a diagnostic screen called Fastboot Mode with options to scroll to and select. Use the Volume Down Button to scroll and the Volume Up Button to select. Scroll to the bottom of that list and when BP TOOLS is highlighted, press the Volume Up Button. The phone will restart and if you have Motorola device drivers on your computer, it will install the correct port (something like BP DIAG port Motorola QC Diag Port - look for it in your computer's Device Manager to get the port number).[/B]

****If you are having driver issues, and you have an entry for "Motorola QC Diag Interface" (not "Port") under "Other Devices" (and not "Ports (COM & LPT)"), SEE POST # 3 for detailed instructions (WITH PICTURES) on how to FORCE the driver installation.
Next, download and install the attached "SPCUtility.apk" app on your phone. Run it -- it will give you YOUR SPC Code. Write it down / take note of it.
IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME WHO DEVELOPED THIS APP, I WILL GIVE THEM THE APPROPRIATE CREDIT. I have tried (without success) to find out who the author is.
Then, flash the attached nv-unlock.txt, nv-unlock2.txt, unlock-domestic.txt AND nv-ruim-only.txt files as per these instructions:
1. Open the attached "NV-Items Reader-Writer"
2. Enter YOUR COM PORT # as shown in DEVICE Manager
3. Enter YOUR SPC Code into the box, as shown.
4. Check the box immediately next to where you entered the SPC Code.
5. Click "Connect"!
Now, follow these instructions:
1. Click "READ" --AT THE TOP--
2. Make sure it says: "SPC is Correct. Phone Unlocked."
3. Click the "Write" button, and find the "nv-unlock.txt" file - make sure it confirms success
4. Click the "Write" button, and find the "nv-unlock2.txt" file - make sure this confirms success
5. Click the "Write" button, and find the "unlock-domestic.txt" file - make sure this also confirms success
6. Click the "Write" button, and find the "nv-ruim-only.txt" fine - and make sure it confirms success as well
7. Last, click MODE, then RESET
And lastly, once the phone reboots, go to Settings, More, Mobile Networks and select GSM/UMTS.
DONE! You are SIM-Unlocked!
KNOWN ISSUES: On domestic carriers, users are reporting that although it DOES work, the signal bars may show no service. (I am looking into this.) Additionally, if data isn't working, YOU NEED TO INPUT THE PROPER APN FOR YOUR CARRIER (as with all GSM phones).
^^^***THIS MAY BE SOLVED*** Apparently, it involves simply using fastboot to set your carrier! (THANKS, @ejlmd , and @leonardoafa !!!) You can see this post for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54468353&postcount=126 (And hit the "THANKS" to @ejlmd, and @leonardoafa in the linked post). This **should** fix your signal bar issues, AND roaming indicator, and allow SMS without issue.
ALSO, you will NOT get LTE data...on any carrier except Sprint because the radio inside doesn't support any LTE bands except 25 (used by Sprint). You also won't get HSPA/HSPA+ (3G/4G) data for any carrier using frequencies not supported by the Sprint Moto X. For instance: If you are using T-Mobile, unless you are in an area that has been re-farmed to 1900mhz HSPA/HSPA+, you will only get EDGE data. This is because T-Mobile extensively uses HSPA/HSPA+ on the 1700mhz AWS band which is not supported by the Sprint Moto X. See the link below for a complete list of frequencies supported by the XT1056.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X
Keep in mind that once you write the "nv-ruim-only.txt" file, you will no longer be able to use CDMA without flashing the "revert" file listed below (puts you back on the default RUIM-CONFIG). The "revert" file is ONLY to be used if you want (for some reason) to switch back to CDMA. You do not need it if you intend to only use GSM. Also, the purpose of "nv-unlock2" is to unlock the MIP settings, and prevent the phone from reverting BACK to NV-Only upon reboot.
Additionally, keep in mind that if you ever "SBF" back to stock, using RSD Lite (or fastboot method), it will un-do the SIM-CRACK, and you will need to repeat these steps.
You ***SHOULD*** be able to accept Updates (OTAs) without losing the SIM-CRACK.
*****If you click any of the attached TXT files, and it OPENS in your browser, instead of downloading, RIGHT-CLICK on it, and click "Save Link As" -- it should download without issue.
[Q]: How much should I donate to you for all the time (weeks) you spent working on this?
[A]: Please donate what you feel it is worth to you. The XT1056 can be found far cheaper than any other Moto X Variant, and now that we can SIM-UNLOCK it, it will become much more popular. If I have saved you money, or added value to the phone you already own, I would appreciate being compensated accordingly. I realize that some are not able to donate, and I understand. Do what you can / what you feel is fair. I spent countless hours on this, and would appreciate being somewhat-compensated for my efforts. This, of course, is not a requirement, since I have posted the solution and made it freely available to everyone. Keep in mind that the China Taobao-seller was charging $80 for EACH unlock...and HIS sim-crack didn't even unlock for Domestic U.S users!!!

Driver Issues?
This post is for you.
In order to use the DIAG interface, you must first install the Motorola Drivers from here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
REMEMBER: As stated in POST # 2, you MUST have "USB Debugging" DISABLED, or the DIAG port will NOT activate.
If you installed these drivers, and you still can't get it to work, and you have an entry under "Other Devices" (In Device Manager) called "Motorola QC Diag Interface" (SEE PIC1, attached below) follow the instructions in the attached pictures STEP-BY-STEP, IN ORDER, to FORCE driver installation.
We are ONLY concerned with the QC Diag Interface - don't worry about the rest of the entries under "Unknown Devices" -- these are not important.
Once you have successfully FORCED the driver installation, you should have an entry under Ports (COM & LPT), called "Motorola QC Diag Port (COMX)" (SEE PIC8, attached below). NOTE the value of "X" - this is the COM port you will use for our purposes. When you successfully have this entry, you can continue with the "FULL INSTRUCTIONS" in POST # 2.

Excellent! Please get me the instructions & necessary tools to use ASAP so I can post it in Post # 2 for the users who need step-by-step instructions. Thanks for all your help as well - I have given you credit accordingly.
Excellent work,buddy!!!
Thanks to your efforts, I can imagine how difficult it is.
And I was very pleased to be able to help.:victory:
Done!!!
Just flash this attached file. Connect as usual to the NV-ITEMS Reader/Writer. Click Write and select the attached file which you must have downloaded. After writing, go to Mode and click reset. Phone will restart. Go to Settings, More, Mobile Networks and select GSM/UMTS. Phone unlocked. Special thanks again to @samwathegreat without whom this will not be possible.
I'm on GSM right now...
NB If you've been using this phone on CDMA, you need to change RUIM Config to RUIM Only, else whenever you restart it will revert back to CDMA mode.

POST # 2 Updated. Thanks!!!!!
hey man, amazing job on this! so many people will happy to see this!
You're the man!!!
Thanks again everyone.
I REALLY need someone in the United States to test this and advise whether or not it unlocks for Domestic (U.S.) GSM Carriers.
We know that the "official" Sprint OTA-Sim-Unlock (only offered if you are a current sprint customer, have had an account for a specified amount of time, and meet other criteria) does NOT unlock for domestic use (international only).
I'm anxious to find out if my SIM-CRACK unlocks for those of us in the U.S. -- I need to know ASAP so I can update my OP accordingly.
@samwathegreat
If it is possible that you could make a video or how to flash this to your phone I think it would be beneficial to some. Even if your phone is already unlocked if you can flash this way then I feel that it's going to stop the millions of questions that are going to come from the thread. Just my two cents, thanks again :good: :victory: :highfive:

Good suggestion. Full, detailed, instructions are listed in POST # 2 already, but this could help some, and I could put it in POST # 3. I'll see if I can get another user to make a video.
Remember: I don't own an XT1056: I did all of this for YOU GUYS, and all without even owning a Sprint XT1056
You are welcome to create a video yourself! I think the instructions are concise enough that you should be able to manage making a video. If you do, I'll post it in #3 and give you appropriate credit for it.

I don't have the appropriate equipment or environment (living in a 'college dorm' (kinda like that) with 24 people, it's never quiet) otherwise I would make one ASAP.
You don't even have one?! OH MY GOD. Your amazing doing all of this without the device...
Also a few things, I can't download the .txt file... I can only view what it says... So how do I download that, and then from that where do I put it to flash, just in the text box?

No idea? Use the NV-ITEM reader/writer attached in POST # 2 to read NVITEM 8378
Under Range (Dec), type 8378 into both fields (type nothing into the HEX boxes) and click READ. If NV8378 is "00", there is a good chance it will. Try and let me know!!!! If it already reads "01", it won't work.
...can't you get a SIM-Unlock code from a regular GSM Sim-Unlock-Code seller for the XT1052?
actually I don't need sim unlock....but, some of french moto X owner bought their phone on US (XT1053 sorry, not XT1052).
But my question is the same: does it work on other moto X model ?
I'm gonna try you method to see what happen.

ALL XT1053s should already be sim-unlocked. In fact, all variants except the XT1056 and XT1049 (that aren't -already- unlocked) can be SIM-Unlocked using the normal methods...(online code-sellers, etc.)
My method definitely works on all XT1056s.
It *SHOULD* work on all XT1049s (Republic Wireless), but ONLY if you unlock the BL and flash the XT1056 ROM to it.

Thanks for the update. Can you provide more detailed instructions on how to change to RUIM only? I know how to do this....with DFS anyways....but many won't. Which tool do you suggest?
Actually, I believe that RUIM config is also stored in a NV item!
I *believe* that it is NVITEM 855 --- can you check for me? If I'm right, "00" = RUIM only, and "01" = default setting. Can you confirm?!?!
We could just update the txt file with this one additional NV-Value, and the users would only have to flash the ONE file, and it will crack AND set the RUIM config to RUIM only.
What do you think?
I purchased an Asus Zenfone AR from Verizon a month ago on New York. I used the phone as my main phone for a couple of weeks there and it worked perfectly (both cellular network and wifi worked just fine). Then a went to Latin America and the wifi stopped working. What this means is: I cannot turn the wifi ON, when I try to turn it ON, there is a toast saying "Error" and it shows back OFF.
I've went back to the States a week ago and I took the phone with me. On California the wifi started working (being able to turn it ON) again, so when I asked for help on a Verizon shop, the people there told me there was nothing they could do because the phone was working just fine.
Now I'm on Latin America again and the wifi does not turn on, I debugged the phone with Android Studio and I get this error on the console:
Code:
10-07 01:02:18.998 1201-2738/? E/ActivityManager: Sending non-protected broadcast android.net.wifi.INVALID_COUNTRY_CODE_DISABLE_WIFI from system 1201:system/1000 pkg android

A quick google search did not show any results on this error code.
I did a factory reset a couple times and tried it with and without the Verizon SIM card.
Does anyone know what this error means exaclty?
I'll keep debugging it and updating the post with my results.
Update 1:
Looks like the Country I'm in (Argentina) does not have a valid country code... which does not make any sense, but here is the error:
Code:
10-07 01:33:02.691 1201-1930/? D/WifiService: setWifiEnabled: true pid=8209, uid=10124

10-07 01:33:02.694 1201-1930/? D/WifiService: notifyInvalidCountryDisableWifi
Update 2:
I'm able to get an internet connection using Bluetooth tethering.
Update 3:
Looks like something like this would help, but would require a rooted device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/themes/mod-wifi-country-code-fix-root-required-t3558044
Update 4:
Ok, so, from what I understand now, the local SIM I used changed the country code to AR. But I still don't see why that would disallow me to turn wifi ON. I do know that this could hide some networks from me due to the country code, but I should be able to turn it ON anyway.
A simple
Code:
adb shell setprop gsm.operator.iso-country us
should fix this issue, but root would still be needed.

Hi.
Did you solved?
Have same problem?
But I have wrong MAC address of wifi adapter... Is it hardware problem or ?
Similar issue here...
Bought a Samsung A5 2017 in US, everything was working fine until I updated via OTA to Nougat and started using an Argentinian simcard.
Country code changed and wifi does not turn on at all. I tried everything but rooting and using the method you mentioned... I'll try it as soon as i get the time to do it and post here the result.
As far as I got investigating the issue, the problem seems to be caused by the wifi driver not loading properly because of "incorrect" country code.
I get the message "Wifi driver unloaded" in logcat
I had the silly idea of doing factory reset once more (I wasn't thinking properly), and now I'm not even able to use the device, because I need internet connection in order to log-in with a google account, and the bluetooth trick does not work on this step.
I'm basically bricked until I get back to the States.
anybody tried to install bootloader unlock app from ASUS site?

I wasn't able to make it work either.
Funny thing is, I bought this phone because I wanted to develop stuff for Google Tango, but now that google killed that project, I don't have any other reason for using it any more.
Unless someone comes out with a fix or some way of rooting it, I'll sell it as a used phone on the States and at least get part of my money back.

I have the same problem and have solved it by downloading CSC_V520KL_T3.3.15_all_eng.zip rom
But the rom is very primitive and impractical and there is no package Asus and google in it
What is important is that it can be used Wi-Fi files from it to Verizon rom
just we need root to fix it

I just had the same thing while traveling to Europe. In both Scotland and Iceland, I was not able to use wi-fi but once we got back to USA, all is good. Very annoying. I'd like to be able to find an official fix.
some solution to activate WiFi for Asus_A002A
Having exactly the same problem - can you share the link with me too please?

only flashing "Asus CSC Imag" = WW_V570KL_T3.0.6_all_eng
With that, WiFi will work and my software will work normally?
could you say the right steps please
I flashed by Software Upgrade Assistant (ASUS) from verizon wireless
When you connect your phone to the USB cable with pc and choose the repair option from the phone, the program will automatically run in Windows
When you make a repair option from pc , the program will download the latest version of the ROM into a new folder at drive D & compressed file. The program will automatically unzip and install. the zip rom in your phone
I flash CSC rom by
replacing CSC rom with original rom file. at D drive and change its name with the same name as the "xxxxxxx.raw" , do not delete or change name of the original compressed file . Only change the raw file and change name as the original name rom. after make repair option from pc again you will flash CSC rom
In any case you need the fownload original ROM if you want to return to original
If you change the size or the name of the compressed file in the folder created by the program, it will delete everything and download the ROM again,so copy zip rom before the change it
sorry for my language
