Can you buy unlocked (no carrier) Surnia any longer?

[nigelhealy]

I had a Surnia, I got it as the Moto no-carrier version last year and unlocked bootloader and had CM13 on it and happy, then the SIM slot broke, and I have had now two failed attempts to buy a new one. One failure on ebay was not the XT1527 but an XT1511 (Otus) and another off Amazon is an ATT gophone which an IMEI search showed manufactured over a year ago.

Does anyone know a seller of the Moto no-carrier XT1527 new?

Have you tried Wall Mart.com? I got my Xt1526 for $30.00 US there.

Thanks for the pointer, looked and it's the network locked typed only

I can't find one, but if I see one I'll let you know.

I got an amazon one that was also a att version. It seems to be unlocked though, and I'm in the process of installing the stock firmware.

How are you going about doing that? Were you able to unlock the bootloader?

 

[bakanando]

Sorry if I misled you, I'm trying to learn how to do it on the way and I'm currently trying the steps to see if I even can do that. I'll update here if anything comes up.

Update: Although the phone is carrier unlocked, I just checked that the bootloader itself cannot be unlocked.

3rd time unlucky, the seller was an XT1527 but they sent an XT1511

3rd time unlucky, I thought I found a new one for sale, emailed with the seller, they said it was a XT157 (Surnia, USA LTE version) but arrived was a XT1511 (Otus). I got free return and refund. The seller then revised the description so no others after me waste their time.

Pity, nice small phone, with custom ROM and kernel it ran well for me, but mine is physically broke.
