Return the phone, it is worthless.

How was the eBay sellers feedback? Kinda sounds like you got scammed. Unless they stated all that in the item description?

If he didn't say anything upfront....you can contact eBay if he won't refund you. They may force him to refund you. Also...negative feedback left on eBay can definitely tarnish his reputation there. But I wouldn't do that until you try to work it out with him.

Again tho...if he stated it had a bad imei ...then you're plain out of luck.

We need a sticky that says not to buy a Sprint Moto X for anything other then using it with Sprint. They are different then pretty much all other Moto X's, there are no unlock codes for them.

Yeah...that's ridiculous. LOL

So....for xda people for sure....don't buy sprint, at&t or Verizon. (Regular model)

Sprint use CDMA technology. Send it back and get a refund. You need to use a GSM phone, buy the T-Mobile / unlocked model of the Moto X.

I'm using AT&T version of Moto X and I can confirm that it can be very easily unlocked for any SIM card with unlock CODE ...no problems here in Europe on GSM (Czech Republic)

For at&t I was referring to not being able to unlock the bootloader. Verizon too. And if sprint can't be sim unlocked, or work on gsm carriers .....I'd stay away from those 3.
