so both me and my brother have gotten new 2014 Moto X's from asurion as replacements for our OG ones. Asurion says the first gen moto x has been discontinued. You can also get your custom one replaced if you have them transfer you to the in store replacement/corporate services department. these guys are the only ones that can order brand new custom moto x's from motorola. you heard right, not a refurb, a new phone made to order. they use the moto maker site.
i was able to grab a new leather version and my brother got a wood version. $100 deductible and a brand new upgrade

Like a brand new 2013 moto x, or just a 2014 one?

the new gen 2 moto x. the bigger better one.
How did you go about making this happen? My 2013 is starting to crop up some issues, so if I can get a replacement (upgrade), I'd love to.
well if you have asurion as your insurance then it's easy. fist you gotta "lose" or "break" your phone. then call asurion on the phone, start a claim and they should inform you that your device is no longer made and that you will be getting a gen 2 moto x in black or white. if you had a custom moto x from last year, then there is an extra step you need to do to get a custom one. request to speak to the in store replacement/ corporate services department. this step is a pain because the people on the front line have little knowledge, but just get them to transfer you to them and they are much more helpful.
I predict a high insurance fraud activity level coming. ?
definitely not encouraging fraud. i've never used my insurance in 6 years.

Your wording here is contradictory.
I'm not a fan of doing things the wrong way. I hope that people don't commit insurance fraud over this. The main takeaway that people should get from your posts is that, should their custom Moto X need replacement via insurance, the customer should ask to be redirected to a specific line to get a Moto Maker replacement as opposed to just a black or white model.
Good thing I'm not wasting money on insurance, I'd be mad if they sent me a 2014 Moto X.

Having owned the 2013 moto x since November of last year and just buying the 2014 X, I'd rather keep my 2013 over the new one. So tomorrow I'm returning the new one.

I've been wresting with upgrading to a larger phone and played with a new moto X in a Verizon store but it's hard to get a good feel with that security thing stuck on the back, and I felt the dimple was weird compared to the original

It was the same thing for me, I ended up pulling the trigger and got the phone. But I don't like the larger foot print off the device.
Sent from my Moto X
I'm loving the new one. It has a gorgeous screen, I still like the size of the old one but honestly the 2013 model is getting sluggish. The new one is the fastest phone I've ever used, its incredible
oh this is great, i just cracked my screen 2 days ago at work. I just got off the phone with them and they said i was getting the 2nd Gen Moto X. I was very surprised when the lady told me that. She asked for the colors my current Moto x(2013) was and she just replicated it to the new one. I don't mind a newer model, just hope the larger size doesn't turn me away.

I believe so. I got transferred once because it was the motomaker X and not the black or white one. The told me that they discontinued the OG and were giving me the 2 gen instead.
Only thing that i didn't like is that the Asurion people gave me a order # , but motorola cannot connect it to my gmail account. so to get the tracking info, I have to do a chat or call them. Asurion told me it would be delivered Nov. 2nd and motorola is telling me 2-4 weeks...
Edit: okay so i was jsut on the phone with motorola to see if i could get a tracking # just because. they were not allowed to provide me with any information because Asurion is the one who purchases the phone and send it to you. The said they had my Name for the order and my address correct and that the phone would be sent to ME, but they could not provide me with anything other than that. No time frame other than "Before 4 weeks" and he couldnt tell em anything else becasue Asurion is the billing address/name just and FYI

My brother was able to get the tracking number by simply giving the rep on the online chat the order number. May just keep trying till you get someone thats helpful. Did you get a 32gb? I've hears Motorola is having delays with 32gb.

the online chat guy told me that he didnt have the option to give me a order #, and yeah a 32 gb. i asked for it to be shipped sooner than later because i will be away and dont want it sitting on my front porch or somewhere
I had a nice unexpected surprise this week.
I've using an unlocked Moto G (16 gig) on AT&T for awhile. Started to have problems with the earpiece. Did an advance exchange for another Moto G. Received the Moto G, but come to find out the replacement was not unlocked.
After 2-3 different calls to try to figure out the situation, I received a call from another person in advance exchange. This is a true story, but he said because of the hassle and amount of calls I had to go through, they were shipping me the 2013 32 gig developer edition. I never asked, requested, or even got upset trying to initial just to get them to ship the correct Moto G. Showed up today brand new sealed in the box.
Anyway, pleasantly surprised and now need to snoop around the forums on case recommendations. They sent the white background/black front.
Congrats. The dev version only come in one color, black front and white back as you state.

While I don't mean to sound harsh, this is the Moto X subforum so, why are you posting about the Moto G here? I read that post thinking that because of the hassles you had with Motorola customer service they sent you the 32GB Dev Edition of the Moto X, but... now I don't have any clue whatsoever exactly what you got.
I don't think there exists a 32GB Moto G Developer Edition.

They sent a Moto X developer edition.
Mods: please close the thread as it appears this should not have been posted here.
Same thing happened to us!
I bought a brand new Moto G ( previous edition) for my dad and after a few days the sim card slot somehow got messed up and wasn't reading the card. So we called, it was covered under warranty and we gave our info for advanced exchange. When we received the package in the mail it turned out to be a Moto X Dev edition.. I was shocked and called them to make sure it wasn't a mistake. ( I didn't want them to charge me extra for it) . Turns out it wasn't a mistake but they just decided to be nice? Not sure why exactly.. Maybe they have extra DEs sitting around or something, or they want to clear inventory. Anyways my dad and I are both happy campers and their excellent customer service has made us customers for life!
Moto has great support. They really take care of people.
Seems like a fitting place to me.
I just purchased this same dev edition model and I am eagerly waiting for it to arrive!
My custom moto x had a ring around the front camera get loose. I was eventually told (after I sent Motorola the phone) that they were unable to make me the same phone and upgraded me to the pure edition 2nd gen.
Moto has the best customer service from what I experienced. ( I have own samsung. lg, htc , etc, all went through RMA before).
Last time my Droid Razr Maxx broke and could not read sim (UICC card). they just gave me an MOTO X developer Edition. ( back in April). I call and offer to paid more to get customization. They just offer me a custom moto x unlock/t-mobile for not extra cost at all!
I could not be more happier. And I convinced my friends and family to try Moto X.
HTC is very quick in RMA but since moto offer me an free moto x, I could only vote for them
Moto is a great company. But I'm afraid what the future holds now that lenovo has bought them. I think lenovo already closed the US plant where they made custom motomaker phones and outsourced those jobs overseas.
Not to downplay moto's kindness.... But watching ebay it seems people have been clearing warehouses of dev editions lately.
I would imagine that it being a dev edition, at this point they are just trying to figure out what to do with the remaining units... Regular moto x carriers will take and give out for free/pennies until remaining stock is gone... But I bet demand for the developer units has dried up SIGNIFICANTLY now that its an old model of what was already a nich phone to begin with.
Nice unexpected upgrade though. Nice to see companies taking care of customers rather then just performing the minimum expectations..

I owned a lot of phones before ( yes , I am a phone-junk). Some are good, some have issues. It just happens. For those which have issues and still under warranty, I would have them RMA.
That is why I have experienced RMA from Samsung, HTC, LG , and moto.
Not all my phones went through RMA, only a few. But I do know all major phone maker RMA procedures
This is why I won't be able to switch to another brand in the foreseeable future, Motorola tries to show they care. My first Android device was an Xperia X10, which was damaged not a month after I bought it (a known device issue) but Sony wouldn't hold up their warranty and left me scorned forever at them. Never again Sony. And now, Motorola has restored my faith in any company, I just love my Moto X.
Edited - it is $200 on ebay now:

Just wanted to give people a head's up - you can get a brand new Verizon Moto X Dev Ed on ebay for $220. Click through ebates, fatwallet or mrrebates and you get another 2% back. Not much cash back, but it is better than nothing.
I don't think these come with a manufacturer's warranty but idk for sure. It's a great price for a great phone!! I actually like the white woven back/black front combo a lot.
Just search for Verizon Moto X on ebay and you will find the listing. N/A. Last night there were only about 500 sold but tonight over 1600 sold! I don't know how many the guy has to sell.
Also check your email for an email from paypal for a $50 statement credit if you sign up for paypal credit. Not everyone gets the offer, but it came around the end of November. If you sign up and then buy the phone on credit, you will get a $50 statement credit! Check your spam folder if have a paypal account and don't see the offer but like I said, not everyone gets the offer.

Do be aware, it seems most of these are from the September 2014 batch that left the factory with incorrect programming (seems the CID is set wrong) and the boot loader unlock site will tell you that the phone cannot be unlocked.
Your going to need to go to this: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875?page=1 thread and read the section of the OP in red letters if that is the case. It provides an email address you can email your information to get the unlock code.
Motorola IS unlocking these phones however, and having read through that thread multiple people have inquired about warranty and been told its being honored...
Still a good deal, I have been happy with my phone... but it took about 5 days to get it unlocked and a bit of digging around to figure it all out. Now that Motorola has been dealing with the issue, and you already know about it it should be a lot quicker to get your code. I got in RIGHT after then stopped having you PM oliver on the forum, right before they started trying to figure out how to handle us all.

If you're on Verizon and are looking for a smaller phone that can be rooted/boatloader unlocked, get this. Root exploits are likely going to be harder to come by after 5.0. With this phone you don't have to worry about root exploits being closed with an OTA.

I ordered the Moto X Developer Edition that will work with Verizon Wireless on Amazon yesterday. I can hardly wait to get in my hands so I can play with it and get everything from my Samsung Galaxy S3 transferred over to it. Looks like it will be one that I will definitely be very happy with.

It'll be a nice jump up from the S3. I'm back on the 2013 version after trying both the droid turbo and moto x 2014. It's a great little phone!
I purchased a new Moto X Verizon Dev Ed from one of the cheaper sellers on Amazon. As expected it was part of the Sept. 2014 batch of phones. I used the links provided on the first page and had my code from Motorola in less than 12hrs and had Lollipop installed not much longer after that.
Very happy with the purchase, don't be scared by the Sept 2014 batch of phones the process is simple (if you can unlock the boot, you have the abilities) and quick.

I just went to that last December from the S3 to the Moto X (1st gen). Love it, love it, love it. NO LAGS!!!! It's been seamless and smooth. Battery life is excellent. I get almost a day and a half if I'm not playing Diamond Digger (the makers of Candy Crush). I love the notification without having to open it up (have a pin code). I have it paired with my Bluetooth stereo in my Honda which plays music off the phone. It even reads back to me whenever I get a text message and gives me the option to respond (and this while driving ). I'm still trying to get use to using Google Now commands so I can do things more hands free.

I got mine almost three weeks ago and I'm really loving how this one works. I also find that my phone really doesn't lag like the S3 did. The cell phone signal is also a lot better on this phone. I really notice it when I'm at work.

So I finally called in and replaced my cracked screen under the Accident Protection Plan I purchased through Motorola. I had a GSM Developer Edition and was told it was discontinued. They offered an upgrade to 32GB Pure Edition. Got the code and am currently waiting for it to be delivered with a bamboo back.
Why is moto treating us so well?
The Dirtydee Z3
I assume they are trying to use us to spread the word. Everyone I swayed to the X bought it because of my experience, not Motorola's marketing skills.
As cool as it is they're giving you a newer phone, I'd personally be kind of bummed to have that behemoth as a replacement to the perfectly sized 2013 X.

Me too. I have indicated at least 5 people, directly, to buy Moto X 2013. Not so much the 2014 version though, didn't think it was as good as the X2013. Even less after those update delays. Even Moto E has Lollipop now
Yes the '14 X is bigger and slippier... But I still prefer the bigger screen because I hate on screen buttons, so it's a trade off I am ready to make.
yeah, four months is not a short period of time
are they working on building a new system other than android !

Don't do it. The '13 X has an awesome form factor and fits great in the hand. But I hate the mic on the front panel. It always collects debris and being in my front pocket doesn't help either.

Same here, I can't stand big phone. Hence my automatic disapproval of Nexus 6. Apparently the update has been delayed because of chipset issues with the X2013 :/ Couldn't wait any longer and installed CM 12. Loving it, apart from a few bugs. Most of the minor ones are fixed with *almost* daily updates.
The update could take a while longer or worst case scenario, not come at all.
last i heard 2014 moto x still doesn't have root
That's cool that they're replacing the phone with the newer model. My Accidental Damage plan is good till June '16... Maybe I can get a 2015 Moto X if mine breaks before it's up.
Does anyone know if unlocking the bootloader through Motorola voids the Accidental Damage plan? I know it'll void the factory warranty. I've got the xt1053 which is unlockable; at the very least I'm waiting till after June this year to unlock because that's when the factory warranty is up. Then again if the factory 5.x build is good I may not even want to then.

That's cool that they're replacing the phone with the newer model. My Accidental Damage plan is good till June '16... Maybe I can get a 2015 Moto X if mine breaks before it's up.
Does anyone know if unlocking the bootloader through Motorola voids the Accidental Damage plan? I know it'll void the factory warranty. I've got the xt1053 which is unlockable; at the very least I'm waiting till after June this year to unlock because that's when the factory warranty is up.

Unlocking bl is worthless without root

Well if I unlocked the BL then I'd be able to root by flashing SuperSU which is what I would do. As you said there's no reason to unlock if you don't plan to root. Untimately I'd like to root whatever version of 5.x we get and install Xposed on the stock ROM; there aren't very many tweaks I want but there are a few that would be nice.

I was under the impression root doesnt work on 2014 but that might be only the non pure editions

As far as I was told, and I have it in email form from Motorola's White Glove Team, unlocking the boot loader on the '13 X Developer Edition and '14 X Pure Edition does not void the warranty or the accidental damage warranty. Trust me, I was on a call for 2:53:39 waiting for an official response and a replacement guarantee for my '13 X per the Accidental Damage Plan.
Root not available for a near stock rom? I find that hard to swallow. I'll have to look into it once I receive my Bamboo backed '14 X 32GB Pure Edition.

Mine's not the Dev edition which is why I'm worried about the warranty. I wanted a wood back model and the DEV edition was only available in boring black. Mine is unlockable but I know it voids the factory warranty. I'm just curious about the accidental damage plan.

Well in my email I made sure they noted that unlocking the boot loader doesn't void the accident protection. So I'll go with that. Just take some time and work your way through the phone calla with them and have them put it in writing. Not an easy process, but well worth it to me.

So I finally called in and replaced my cracked screen under the Accident Protection Plan I purchased through Motorola. I had a GSM Developer Edition and was told it was discontinued. They offered an upgrade to 32GB Pure Edition. Got the code and am currently waiting for it to be delivered with a bamboo back.

As cool as it is they're giving you a newer phone, I'd personally be kind of bummed to have that behemoth as a replacement to the perfectly sized 2013 X.

They're replacing my damaged GSM Dev Ed with the 32gb pure edition 2014 moto ex as well.
Its nice but I'm still kinda bummed because its bigger and the original moto x was the perfect size! I suppose I could sell it and get something else.. but what? Maybe just buy a used dev ed again and pocket some cash? Its gonna get old soon though...
Like the title states, I have a friend thats interested in my current phone, a Moto X pure. Of course, if he buys it, thats less I have to fork out for a N6P. My question though...is it still worth it to move to this device with a new phone possibly due in 6 months? Its $399 at Best Buy right now, so I'd be buying this phone for roughly $200 and then a new case. Thoughts?
Tough call and personal choice. The new Nexus could be around $700?
Your $200 is nice for the Nexus6p and XDA well developed roms , mods, etc.

Yes not sure on it...I'm sure its a better phone, but worth it now....and would i see any real difference besides the fingerprint scanner. I've seen some comparison camera shots and it seems moto's is better, but that was like 8 months ago lol
6p camera kills the Moto. Don't know what sites you were visiting, but it's not even close...

Just curious, but why would the new Nexus cost $700? Is that the rumor?

Isn't that what the current one costs? Usually new doesn't go down in price.
No matter how you cut it, the new Nexus is going to cost more. I think the best plan of attack would be to sell the X, and purchase a used 6p off of Swappa. It shouldn't cost too much that way, and the 6p will still be worth more when the new Nexus is released, so it won't cost a huge amount to upgrade then as well.
As far as making the switch from the X to the 6p, I highly suggest it. I made the same move, and am glad I did. I was concerned about not having an SD slot in the Nexus, but the 64gb model works fine for me, and battery life is superior to the Moto.
I would make the move to the 6P for that price. Honestly, I don't trust Lenovo now that they have taken over Motorola. I don't know if they will stay update the moto x pure to android N at a good pace or not? I had the moto x pure for a few weeks last october and overall it was a nice phone. good screen and awesome speakers but i didn't see alot of development for it so i made the move to the 6P. Now if regarding what the new nexus will cost in the fall who knows but this year a 32GB started at $499 which was a great price. the year before it was like 700 with motorola. if HTC is to make this years nexus who knows how much it will cost? if anything, I hope the pricing that was introduced last year will be same but we shall see

No, I believe the 6P started at $499.
