Will a dual sim moto g (XT-1033) be compatible with the custom roms here? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll be getting my Moto G in a few days, and I just want to ask whether XT-1033 is compatible with other custom roms built for XT-1032 (single sim version)? And is the method for rooting the same?
Thanks!

1. You will need to use ROMS that support xt1033 ie. GUMMY ROM, CR-DROID, MOKEE, and CM11. I must tell you that these roms may have bugs pertaining DUAL SIM USAGE. if you intend to use only one sim card (like me), then no problem should arise. Best thing to do is to read the ROM threads.
2. Rooting method is the same (the unlocking bootloader thing)

Thanks for the answers! One more thing, how do I check whether my bootloader is locked? Or does all Moto G ship with a locked bootloader?

If youve gone through the rooting tutorial, it'll say wether you can unlock BL or not when you request the bootloader unlocking code. You'll find out when you request the code. By right, i think all xt1033 ship with locked BL That CAN be unlocked.

[Q] Should I buy the dual sim version?

Hey guys,
Should I buying the dual sim version Moto G?
Because there is'nt / not yet any single sim version Moto G here,
I'm considering this:
1) I heard that CM doesn't/not yet support the dual sim smartphone, is that true?
2) Can I use the single sim custom rom on the dual sim version? (It's okay for me even if the custom rom works with only 1 sim card)
3) If I can't install the single sim version custom rom on the dual sim version right now, is there any possibilities that the single sim custom rom will work on the dual sim version someday?
Because I think it's meaningless if I use an android phone, but I can't change anything on it
Any help will be much appreciated,
Thanks

you should buy the dual sim version without worries coz:
1) CM supports the dual sim version fully!
2) most of the single sim custom roms run on the dual sim version. you just have to flash the US stock firmware.
3) you can root it and get xposed to get most of the features custom roms provide and also remove the unwanted apps with root uninstaller if you decide to stay with stock rom.(there is not much bloatware anyway, pretty much stock kitkat)
also we are not talking about any android phone here, its the only phone under $200 with kitkat..
edit: i just realised that this is a very old thread! so u might have already made a decision and cm was not supported at that time...

R u sure most of ROMs work? Cos someone reply that single sim ROMs won't work on dual.
Even if one sim work It will be OK for me.

The roms that do not work use the US or european or brazilian radio.. so if u wanna install those roms u will have to install the respective country's rom and radio...

[Q] Unlock Bootloader on Cricket/AIO/AT&T Moto G

Hello fellow community members. I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader for my XT1032. Apparently through conventional means, I am unable to unlock my Moto G's bootloader. For whatever reason, the AT&T variant cannot be unlocked through the Motorola website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At this time it is not possible to unlock the bootloader for aio/cricket moto g. And to be honest I don't think anyone is trying to figure it out.
It is now possible to unlock moto g with sunshine app but cost $25

Moto g Dual Sim to gpe?

I'm planning on getting the moto G Dual Sim factory unlocked version and I was wondering if I can covert this to the gpe?
Does the dual Sim also work in the US to AT&T and T-Mobiles network?
If the GPE version is Dual-SIM as well, you can flash the official GPE ROM to get your Moto G a GPE-feel. Please note that this will void your warranty, so i wouldn't recommend it.
There's also the partitioning scheme, which I know that is different in the GPE version, but I don't know if that can break up your phone... So, it's up to you
About the networks, as far as I know if the device is factory unlocked, it will work in any network, someone please correct if I'm wrong.
Good luck!

Yes it will probably work but I'm worried about Internet connectivity. ?
Well, everything should work if the hardware is the same (which I think it is), but do a little search before doing it, it will be useful!

motorola moto g cdma

hello guys, sorry if i'm opening thread like this, i need some instructions if soneone can give it to me i'll be very glad.
so I have now motorola moto g cdma version. here are screens, can someone tell me how can install custom rom and which one I can? thank you guys!
Did you unlock your bootloader?
Probably not because VZW does not allow bootloader unlocking
Locked bootloader = No custom ROM's. No exceptions.

thanks in advance

Just try using xposed framework. You keep stock and just find a module that works for you. Good luck

There is no known way to root without unlocking bootloader.
Yep. You would void the warranty once you unlock the bootloader. Try using xposed .
