//UPDATE AND SOLUTION//

I found the answer by myself:
I did a bit of trial and error and the solution, not to show the carrier name was "unknown"
So yes, I found "unknown" in some build.prop like Cyanogenmod and other ROMs. So I tried this and it was successfull.

Thus, the code I used was:

Code:
fastboot oem config carrier unknown
This is just for all the people, who made the same mistake as myself and follow this thread.
Do not paste this code, if everything is working fine, this just shows how to get rid of the carrier name on retail-devices, if you made a mistake like me below!!!!


Hello members of XDA!

//Edit: Could someone paste the following code (WARNING: Do not add anything behind "carrier", so you won't modify anything!)
Code:
fastboot oem config carrier
in fastboot on a retail-device like XT052, to tell me what the carrier name is?

Yesterday, late in the evening, I flashed my Moto X XT052 back to stock. Because of my tiredness, I pasted some code in the terminal:
Code:
fastboot oem carrier config vzw
I set my carrier name to Verizon, by mistake. But the device itself is a retail device, with no branding or such stuff. So here comes my Question:
Is it possible, to erase the carrier name? Better: What is the default carrier name on retail devices, which are unbranded and have no carrier? Do retail devices have a carrier name? If no, how can I get rid of my intellectual nonsense, I put in there?
In my tiredness, I forgot to check the setting of the carrier with

Code:
fastboot oem config carrier
This mistake of mine sucks, because in stock ROMs there will be whatever I described as carrier name added to the build version, and I don't know, if this could affect OTAs in the future. I'm back on CM12 right now, so it's not a big deal, but it's causing sleepless nights :)

So maybe, you people can help me out?

Kind regards

I know this is pretty much dead. However the carrier code for US retail devices is
Code:
retus
