Hi, i have a question on my moto g running process. I've this process always running on my device but the qualcomm one and the moto care one it seems to me that doesn't exist since i've upgrade to KK. Rom stock, no Bootloader Unlocked.
Can anyone help me to understand what this process are?
This is a noob question so bare with me.
If i buy a moto G for say boost or cricket once i unlock the boot loader and flash a new rom can i run an ATT sim in it?

Yes you can...
Don't buy a Boost cause it's a CDMA device which will not work on AT&T which is GSM. You need a T-Mobile, AT&T, Cricket, Metro PCS(maybe depending on Area I think) need to make sure that it has a sim card slot & if you get a 4G device make sure it has the correct radio frequency so you can get 4G
So I was trying to unlock my bootloader on my Moto G Universal 4G LTE (xt1045) and Motorola's website told my that my device was ineligible for bootloader unlocking. My carrier is AT&T and I know that AT&T locks the bootloaders on it's devices but I'm not sure if that is the problem because I bought my phone from Amazon not AT&T. Is there some other reason why I wouldn't be able to unlock my bootloader or is it because my device is on AT&T?
Device: Moto G 4G LTE xt1045
Carrier: AT&T
Version: 4.4.4
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.

Thank you! However, I have Cricket X1045 on 4.4.4. Sunshine doesn't support it yet.

The OP is asking about a Cricket Moto G 4G LTE - different phone than your Xt1032.

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.

Hi, can you direct me to the china unlocker also please?
After hours and hours of trying, I would like some help from you guys.. I already know the moto g verizon prepaid requires Sunshine to unlock bootloader (is that free now? it let me download something, but it said i had to be rooted first with temp root). I couldn't find any software to temporary root my moto g. so i read a guide on how to downgrade 5.1 to 4.4.4, but then i realized i had to have an unlocked bootloader to downgrade.
So my question:
Is there a way to root the moto g 5.1 (verizon prepaid) with and without an unlocked bootloader?
I'm not sure what to do..If there is any way whatsoever to root the moto go 5.1 verizon prepaid, can you help me get going?
i appreciate it muches, thanks guys
