OP please close this thread
Hello guys as you guys may have heard from other sources the moto X first gen is sim locked by the firmware I can unlock them as long as I can get a nv dump from the phones an a nv dump from a unlocked version (example dev edition or one that has be on taken in store an unlocked) if I can get the nv dumps I can compare them an provide a easy unlock I have the US cellular version on 4.4.2
If you post a nv dump post it like this
@(mytag) (carrier) (android version) attachment
I'll post a tool to use an instructions on how to dump it
My Moto X was never SIM locked. Where are you getting your information?
@afox27 Your thread title might be a little misleading since...
The Verizon XT1060, and the GSM XT1053 are Sim unlocked out of the box.
The ATT and Rogers XT1058 are SIM unlockable by getting the code from the carrier (might have to meet their criteria), or by purchasing from one of many online retailers that sell SIM unlock codes.
I believe the XT1052 in Asia and Europe is also SIM unlocked out of the box.
The Sprint XT1056 and Republic Wireless XT1049 can be sim unlocked via the steps/process posted in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
As for the US Cellular XT1055, and the Regional XT1050, well, those I am not sure about. So if you have a way that works for them which is different, cool! Please expand on what is needed!!

How is the work on this tool coming? I've got a locked XT1055 that I'd like to unlock. Let me know how I can help, of if you have some NV strings that I could enter manually.

The xt1055 isn't simlocked I have one an took it in to be sim unlocked. Well. They showed me the screen saying it is sim unlocked your best bet is to flash the system from the other carriers moto x but don't flash over there modem. Keep the USC one. Idk y but when you flash over there's. We lose signal

That's very interesting. So, flash AT&T's OS, for example, and it'll work. That's what you meant by another carrier's system?

Yes. Ik it works with T-Mobile. Awhile back some ones gf had a xt1055 on T-Mobile. Verizon should work. To. But. Funny thing is you don't need a sim card for Verizon. I'm. Right now experimenting with the xt1042 aka moto g 4glte. I will confirm this here in a bit for the xt1055. Or. You could. Root your phone. An get a APN editor. An try that.

I'm gonna link you a app I made to get into the APN settings flash back to 4.4.4 USC stock. Firmware an install this app. If you still don't get signal. Flash ATT or T-Mobiles system.img only don't flash there modems or you will get the no service thing
Ok, so unlocked the bootloader, flashed the 4.4.3 Tmobile image, and rooted the phone. I didn't have a nano sim to test with, but it could see AT&T's network. I'm hoping that means that it'll work on GSM networks overseas, since my brother is going to the UK. Thanks so much!

Lots of people have had success unlocking their on contract and NEXT devices by using the online portal. I was able to get 2 on contract iPhones unlocked by submitting a request. The first went through no issues, the second took about 40 tries and I had to do it as a GoPhone even though it wasn't. Human error I am sure but idc I got the devices unlocked.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
I think for the on contract phones that are w/in like 60 or 90 days of the onset of their contract, they get automatic denials. But everyone else is reviewed by a human and if you submit enough requests, you eventually get an unlock.

Hello there,
Since the American versions of this phone seem to be bootloader locked, would it be possible to get the Canadian version, on say, Rogers, which isn't bootloader locked, and use it on AT&T? Would I get LTE this way as well? Thanks.
Absolutely. Should work no problem. Just add apn settings and simcard

Sorry to sound uninformed, but what is APN settings? Also, is there a more practical way to get an unlocked version from within the U.S. itself? Such as from T-Mobile?
I sold a Canadian HTC M7 from Telus on the US market with the bootloader unlocked but the new owner could not simply insert his SIM into the phone. It was SIM locked. Locked bootloader is completely different story than locked SIM (the device is locked to work only with a particular carrier's SIM). I had to get an unlock code and then worked. Be aware about this.
Here is your explanation:

Locked or unlocked is irrelevant. You just can't be rooted or have a custom recovery.
This is from my recent experience of the recent OTA for the XT1034.
Sunshine tool did NOT work on XT1045 from cricket as it has 4.4.4 already. No way to downgrade it either if it is like the other moto g from cricket.
Yeah Cricket seems to be non unlockable
WTF!!!!
So i called Cricket Customer Care and i was told that i would have to be a customer for 6 months in order to unlock my bootloader and a Cricket Retail Rep told me 4 months. Not sure who to believe and if its even true, how would cricket even make it happen???
hopefully the bootloader will be unlocked soon :/
NEED Bootloader Unlocked for Moto G XT1045
Totally disgusted that the bootloader cannot be unlocked for this device. I'm willing to pay for someone to get it unlocked. Second Cricket device in a row that cannot be rooted for me. Well this one can but technically can't without the bootloader. Someone please help! Going to send this phone to the graveyard if not.
Does anyone have a cricket firmware for 4.4.2 or 4.4.3? Do we know for sure the Moto G Cricket can't be downgraded?
Hey!
Im going to buy a used XT907 in a while. As I understand, its a CDMA phone, network locked to Verizon.
Can I unlock it somehow to run it on my GSM carriers network?
I've checked the network bands and the XT907 supports all the 2G and 3G used by my operator.
And what about unlocking the bootloader?
I saw a thread on XDA which said the bootloader couldn't be unlocked if the phone had installed the latest OTA - by that I understand that it cant be unlocked if its on Kitkat.
Any workarounds for that?

1. No need to unlock! XT907 network lock is only restricted to local US GSM Operators. So use any network provider with your RAZR M. BTW I'm using Ufone.
2. Bootloader can only be unlocked using exploit if the firmware version is 183.46.10 and not 183.46.15. However, if .15, you can unlock bootloader by finding a Sigma Retailer in your area but that will cost money (Rs. 500).

Actually there is a need to unlock. My girlfriends phone would not work with straight talk at&t until we used radiocomm to unlock it. I've actually never heard of being able to use this phone on a gsm network without some nv editing.

I have not tested it out personally but I am 99% sure it will work.
I had a Verizon M9 (which is unlocked just as the HTC 10) and gave it to my girlfriend about 2 months ago. I only had to change the APN settings and she gets flawless service.

I use Cricket which is a sub-brand of ATT. I am able to receive decent speeds, but not anything over 8 Mbps due to my plan.
If you are not able to use an AT&T SIM on your Verizon HTC 10, you can always flash the unlocked firmware.
You can follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-aosp-roms-booting-vzw-10-via-t3487903
Since you will not need to use a Verizon SIM, you can skip the part about deleting the .img files.
So I have seen multiple people here on the forum claiming to do it or wanting to do it and I am a bit confused. I have an s7 edge on contract from ATT. Can I do this? If I flash T Mobile's firmware on this does this make my phone usable with a T Mobile sim?
Thank you

Wouldn't you still need to SIM unlock your AT&T phone to use on T-mobile network? I don't think just flashing another carriers ROM will allow you to use their network. Am I Wrong in thinking this way?

Flashing the phones firmware will not carrier unlock the device. That is tied to the IMEI. It will boot up the Tmobile software, but it still will only work on AT&T network.
Also in order to unlock the device from AT&T they will most likely bill you for the remaining value of the device as soon as you request an unlock code. You cannot take a phone from one carrier to another unless it is fully paid off.
I have an Unlocked AT&T S7 and I can put in a T-Mobile sim and it works. So why Flash T-Mobile onto an AT&T phone if its Unlocked??? My AT&T S7 is Paid for in Full.
My question is, if you do flash T-Mobile firmware on AT&T phone will you get OTA updates off of T-Mobile, like when Nougat comes out????? Also would you still have wifi calling and get all the LTE bands of a T-Mobile phone????

Yes. All the edge models have identical hardware. Their only differentiating factor is the firmware they run. I flashed the unlocked firmware onto my AT&T model and now get updates directly from Samsung. If you flash the T-mobile firmware on the AT&T device, all features will work and updates will come from T-Mobile. Same would work if you flash the AT&T firmware onto a T-Mobile variant. Or Verizon to Sprint, Sprint to AT&T, etc.

So you are saying this about S7 Edge, does this work the same for the AT&T S7 SM-G930A? Mine is not the Factory Unlocked model but I got the unlock code from AT&T. I thought the firmware came from the carrier and not Samsung on updates on a carrier branded phone???
So if I flash T-Mobile into my AT&T S7, I can also flash it back to AT&T firmware should I go back to AT&T???
Think you are talking about flashing firmware on your that is original for the Factory Unlocked version, think its SM-G930F

Well people on the S7 edge have flashed the tmo firmware on their AT&T models. Updates come from carrier on branded phones. So if you have an AT&T phone and flash another carriers firmware, it would only be branded by the physical logo on the back. It's like buying a Windows PC and installing Linux. The updates would come from Linux, not Windows, and vice versa. You could always go back to the AT&T firmware, just make sure that both firmwares you flash are on the same bootloader version.

Updates do come from the carrier. However, if you flash a different carriers firmware you will start getting updates from the new carrier.
