Hey All,
I currently own a Moto G (just bought it today), 1st gen and I believe it is from Bell (Canada). I've tried using this thread; http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/ec...our-Moto-X-Developer-Edition-and-install-TWRP to unlock my device, but when I put the code in the website (Motorola's), it says my phone cannotb unlocked. Is there another way to go around this? Is my device not unlockable?
I just really want to receive the Lollipop update but I'm not sure how if not to unlock and install a rom that has the lollipop update in it. Could someone tell me how to go about unlocking or how to receive the update normally? Thanks very much in advance. a
Any help is appreciated. :')

It should be sim unlocked out of the box. Have you stuck a sim in the phone and tried to add Telus APNs?
The only root exploit available for the VRUDNE1 4.4.2 OTA is to use Towelroot. There is no bootloader unlock available for this OTA which means there is no chance for AOSP nor downgrading the firmware to anything prior to 4.4.2. Safestrap is available but you would only be able to dual boot another VRUDNE1 based rom, nothing else.

Of course it didn't, the sim card would belong to the previous owners phone number etc. You need a sim from your carrier with your info, phone number etc. See my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58582227
Hello everyone, I'm making this thread because Im having some trouble updating my phone to the latest version of Andriod.
I have an LG G3 D850 factory unlocked. This means it's an at&t phone, so I'd need an at&t sim to update it. The problem is, I dont live in the US, Im from southamerica, Uruguay specifically.
As I dont have the sim or anything, my phone is stuck in Android 4.4.2.
My question is, is there any way for me to update my phone? What happens if I download and install the D855 version for this phone (the international version) will it block my networks?
Thanks for reading!

Hello Guys @ XDA.
I need HELP unlocking the bootloader of my Moto G 4G XT1045 Cricket mobile phone.
Please Help
Thanks in Advance.
Go to the Motorola Bootloader Unlocking site and follow the instructions on the site.
Google that, and you should be able to unlock your phone at a bootloader level.
That won't work. You'll just get a message about this device not being eligible for unlocking or something like that.

DC-Unlocker might be both your/OP's best bet if that works, but if it does not, then sadly, you might be stuck with a phone that you cannot do much, and believe me, it sucks as my brother-in-law had a Sony Xperia neo that was locked to T-Mobile, and therefore bootloader-locked, as a SIM-locked phone usually has its bootloader locked as well.
Update: after checking out the site, Motorola phones aren't supported.
Update #2: Check this out, but this will leave you $25 lighter on your wallet:

Unless something has changed recently, Sunshine doesn't work either because it's 4.4.4. Even if it did- yeah, it probably doesn't make much sense to spend more money than the phone is worth to unlock it. ?

I bought an LG G3 Verizon a year back and since then it has been running android kitkat and has obviously become very laggy over the year. I now want to install CM 13 on the phone but Im afraid that if I install it I will need the sim unlock code again.
Can someone please clarify this for me? I live outside of US.

Greetings and welcome to xda. Firstly please give us chance to get to your post before you bump it, you are allowed to bump a thread after 24 hours.
With regards to your question, as far as I'm aware once your phone has been sim unlocked it will stay sim unlocked no matter what rom you install on it. If you ask your question here though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help
the experts there will be able to confirm this
Good Luck
