[Q] Verizon Prepaid Moto G Rooted

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I had given up on Moto G as a potential root on Verizon Prepaid, but then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52717219
If it has, what guide would I use? If not, any suggestions for a rootable on Verizon Prepaid?

If you need Verizon prepaid, look into Page Plus, at www.pagepluscellular.com because they are prepaid on Verizon's network. The Boost Mobile Moto G is rootable and can be made to work on Page Plus.

Let me just add a comment here if I may.
I have a Boost MOTOG flashed to use Pageplus. Version 4.4.2
Although I have unlocked the bootloader and installed the SUPERSU via recovery, the phone will not root. No error messages or anything but if you try to use any app that needs root, it will not work.
It has something to do with Verizon & 4.4.2 version.

Yea, I'm getting mixed feedback. I appreciate the suggestion with Pageplus and still trying to look into it. The guys over at rootandroid told me they can't root the G on Verizon Prepaid. I really don't want to be on the "bleeding edge" as an amateur. Still looking for a proven method, or an alternative phone...

I have a Boost Moto G flashed to PP, on 4.4.2, and root works just fine for me. Running xposed like a champ. Titanium backup worked for removing needless apps, too. I used the superboot method.

I am seriously considering buying a Verizon prepaid Moto G, but this root issue may be a deal breaker for me. Why so much of a problem with rooting this phone. I know the bootloader is locked, but I have had phones that were locked but I was still able to root them. What's with the Moto G?

Thank you. When you get a minute, could you please look at what version your bootloader is? Mine is 41.05.
Thanks.

Going down the Pageplus road, but first another question. Is there another MVNO you might recommend other than Pageplus that's prepaid and on the Verizon net?
The reason is, I got pushback from Pageplus when I mentioned the G. Claim their dealers can't handle it. In addition they claim Verizon is blocking the G because it is a prepaid device.
In short it must be a 3g or backwards compatible to 3g device, nonprepaid and a Verizon contract phone.
I've found 3 PP dealers in the area, might see how far I get with the G or other best option they have. I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking another MVNO...

I use Page Plus, so I don't know any other MVNOs. They are correct about the Moto G, Verizon blocks their Moto G for at least 6 months. If you flash a Boost G, their imeis aren't registered on Verizon, so they come up fine. Dealers won't know this, but you can set yourself up on the Page Plus website. Kitty Wireless, a Page Plus dealer, offers free ESN checks to make sure you can use a phone with them. Kitty is all online, though.
Edit: I should specify, my wife has the Boost G on PP, I set it up. Bought a Verizon G before I knew about the locked bootloader and Boost flashing. When the Verizon G can be used on PP, we'll be trading phones.

Yes if your phone has original verizon software on it you only need download this and flash it in stock recovery..

[Q] is there any possibility to gsm unlock the HTC ONE E8 sprint version ?

Hi Guys,
I'm just won the HTC One E8 sprint version on an ebay auction, i didnt received the phone yet but i already know that is locked to sprint, i started to look for an unlocking code in trusted websites like cellunlocker.net and masterunlockcode but they dont have listed codes for the E8 sprint version.
Is there any possibility or working method to gsm unlock the HTC ONE E8 sprint version ?.
Thanks and regards,

***Here's my story trying to get GSM sim card to work on E8.***
Before I bricked my E8, I was able to get it UNLOCK (S-OFF) via SunShine(Theroot.ninja, cost you $25). I confirmed that with Sprint's original rom, you won't be able to use any GSM sim cards WHATSOEVER. (I've tried AT&T's & T-mobile) However, *I think* the correct procedure should be: 1.) get it S-OFF, 2.) change cid by fastboot oem writecid & 3.) wipe or install new rom in order to get GSM sim card recognized. Hopefully this info helps.
**BTW, can any one spare some time and do a TWRP backup for me to recover my messed-up E8? I would be very appreciated.

Wow this is a great news. Thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try when I get my normal boot screen back and see how it works.

Does anyone confirm that the E8 can be SIM unlocked?

Don't update to lollipop otherwise you won't be able to unlock it.

That's not acurate.
I have a Sprint HTC One E8 with lollipop (5.0.2) and it was sucessfully unlocked. I am using it right now.
You must try sunshine and buy a license. ATT an T-mobile sims will not work.

Hi everyone. I'm in a similar situation. I live in Italy (sorry for my english, guys ) and I bought a branded Sprint HTC One E8 too from USA (single sim and made in Taiwan version). It arrived here supposedly unlocked (my UMTS sim works fine) and with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 installed on.
My intention is to upgrade it to Lollipop but I'm wondering if it is possible, because:
1. If I flash the Spring rom, what happens? Should the phone remains unlocked or it will be re-locked to Spring? And how will I be able to unlock it again?
2. If I change CID and install a stock rom (asian or european ones), I don't know if my sim card will work properly, because the Asian and European Rom are Gsm rom while the Spring rom is WCDMA rom( very similar to UMTS), as reported in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
Very confused I need your support, thanks in advance :good:

Do you know if the previous owner had the phone unlocked by sprint? You should flash a custom recovery , do a backup and the try tu update to 5.0. If you lose GSM capabilities you can go back to 4.4
Do not flash any Asian or European roms, most of them are dual sI'm and sprint is single

So does anyone know a method to remain unlocked
My E8 is working fine on 4.4.2 with sprint badboy unlock but will it stay that way if i update to latest by OTA.

Unlock is permanent even if you take OTA. If you don't want to take a risk just do a backup of your current version and take the OTA, if you lose your unlock go back to your previous version.

Still not sure about it
Someone on other thread said that if u update u loose unlock and than u can't go back.
So has anyone tried.

There's no other method or way other than getting a sim. At least that model is a TON better than the Sprint model you had before.
