Hi everyone. A bit new to flashing roms but thanks to the very helpful guides I was able to flash the Energy rom onto my phone. I bought an unlocked Verizon Touch Pro 2 with GSM capabilities and I want to run it on the Tmobile network.
After flashing the Energy rom, do I have to change any settings to get my voicemail and texting to work? Will it automatically detect from the SIM? Or should I flash a Tmobile radio onto the phone?

DONT EVER FLASH A T-MOBILE RADIO...you will have a brick....
you will have to use the sim unlocker from htc-unlocks or get it unlocked by verizon global support.

What he said
I'm running the X1028 Moto G (Verizon) with an unlocked bootloader, and I have tried so many roms. Every single ROM I have tried has issues Roaming. What I mean by that is that when I enter a roaming zone my phone will refuse to roam. It'll just drop out from signal.
Does anybody have a good idea as to what I can use for a ROM?
Thanks guys!
help
as'd unlocked the bootloader of MOTO G Verizon
Like the question the asks, I have a rooted TMO G3 running custom roms and looking at moving over to ATT and trying to see if I need to ditch the root and custom roms and go back to stock condition before sim unlocking. I have posted same question my TMO G3 forum. Any and all help is appreciated.

You shouldn't have to you. My att D850 is sim unlocked and used on TMO. I still have to use ATT roms.
All you do is shut off the phone, put in a sim from another carrier and boot up. You should then get prompted to enter the unlocked code and walla.

thanks for the reply but since I have a t-mobile G3 and been running root and custom roms since the very first days, I am a little wary about doing this for going to ATT
I notice that the Moto G LTE from Cricket wont permit the Bootloader to be unlocked.
I am wondering, if you have your Cricket Moto G LTE unlocked (by this i mean sim unlock, not bootloader) and you then flash another carrier stock image - i.e. XT1040, etc - would it be possible to then unlock the bootloader? (I am assuming that if you flash XT1040 on XT1045 it's the same hardware, the only issue would be the radios..but if it's sim unlocked, then it shouldn't matter)
Or, is Motorola going by the IMEI #, which would stay the same if you flash another factory image?

Also interested in unlocking the Cricket Moto G LTE XT1045 bootloader as well.
Please update if you're able to get this to work.
Pretty sure the generated code is determined from the hardware. So flashing another ROM wouldn't change it.
That being said, I'm pretty sure Cricket versions of the Moto G LTE are never getting Lollipop. I spoke with a Cricket rep yesterday and they said the company had no plans to upgrade. So unless someone here can figure out some magical way to unlock the bootloader, we're all screwed.

I also talked to a Cricket rep yesterday about a Lollipop update. He said it was going to be a manufacturer, not carrier update. I asked him again to confirm because of what Motorola's site said. He confirmed again that it is based on what the manufacturer (Motorola) wants to do.

You can't flash ANYTHING with a locked bootloader. Cricket can update it, should they choose to, but as far as Motorola is concerned, Cricket owns the phone - not you. You can't unlock the bootloader unless you bought a RETAIL version of the phone - like I did from Amazon. You paid a lot less by buying the phone from Cricket and, in return, you gave up all right/hope of having an unlocked bootloader.
And, yes, everything goes by the IMEI, which is unique to the phone and never changes. If it were to change, your phone would no longer work on your carrier. The phone using that IMEI is registered as belonging to Cricket - that's why you can't unlock it on it the Motorola site. For the phone I bought at Amazon, I just went to the Motorola site and had my phone bootloader unlocked in five minutes. If you want a bootloader unlockable phone, you don't want to buy it from a carrier.
Update
I just spoke with Cricket who forwarded me to Motorola who said that my Moto G (1st Gen, LTE), purchased through Cricket, would be updated to 5.X within a month.
I'll try to update this if it actually happens. I didn't ask about the bootloader.

Nice necro but I was aware of that when I posted my response as I helped the Dev unlock all models of the Cricket Moto G bootloader; provided they weren't running an OS higher than 4.4.3.

Is the phone unlocked, if not you may need to get it unlocked for the sim to work. The phone may also be a "Global ready" phone and not "Globally Unlocked" phone meaning that you can use it with a Verizon plan but thats it.

Well, its unlocked, The phone doesn't asks me for any unlock codes. I can RUN CDMA sims only but not GSM. When i insert a gsm sim it says 'This sim is from unknown osurce'. In about phone service state is:- 'Service is out of service'. I had cheked some one in this forum uploading a GSM PATCH for Verizon CDMA smartphones for Motorola, but i couldn't do it. My phone is now on Kitkat stock ROM and i cant even root it.

I don't know about the phone you are talking about, but may be your phone only supports CDMA Bands. It is an hardware problem and may not be corrected by any rooting methods.
Hit thanks if helped
