after upgrading to 5.1 gpe using the one click method and then subsequently down grading back to 5.0.2 when my moto g XT1032 wouldn't recognize any sim inserted. my moto g is asking for sim network unlock pin. problem is my tesco sim has never had any sim passcode this is the first time that it has ever asked for one.

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my Moto G 8gb that was originally on Tesco mobile. I unlocked the phone using an ebay code when I received it and have been using it as a backup with my Vodafone sim, however I recently put my Orange work sim into it and the phone appears to have been relocked to the Tesco network. My Voda sim no longer works and neither do my GG or Orange sims, the only one that works is the original Tesco sim. The problem is, the phone is not prompting me for the network unlock code when rebooted.
Previously I was running C-Rom but have reverted to stock (4.3 from original backup) to no avail. Any help would be gratefully appreciated since I can't find a valid reason as to why it won't prompt me to enter the network code again.
Thanks

I have a 16 GB Tesco UK Moto G that is locked, and I want to unlock it. But when I insert a foreign SIM (from O2 Ireland) I get no prompt for an unlock code. Instead it just says "Emergency calls only." I've contacted several of the online unlock code suppliers and they could not find unlock code in their database but then I have paid for more expensive code from Simon Green on ebay and he sent me that unlock code. I am on GPE 4.4.4 and UK tesco SIM is working fine but I am getting Emergency calls only with every other SIM card. I have tried 3 different SIM cards from different providers and they work fine in my second Moto G. Is there some way I can get this phone unlocked ?
maybe using stock rom from carrier or stock motorolo rom
or put another sim and wike data to see what happens
i really don´t know
i unlocked my moto g using stock 4.4.2 motorola at the time
Hi,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G and have gone back to the Retail GB ROM but it's still not accepting any other SIM other than a Vodafone SIM.
The ROM states it is the Retail GB version and I know it's flashed.
I thought this would overwrite any NUC requirements.
What am I missing?
Unlocking the bootloader and network unlock are not the same thing. You have to buy a network unlock code off ebay (£1 or so.)
Thanks! I have requested the NUC but one thing I have noticed is that I don't get asked to enter one.
How do I force the NUC screen?
So I have a Moto G xt1032 locked to one of the carriers here in Canada. I looked up how to unlock it and ended up motorola's official unlocking page for moto g. I followed the instructions and it sent me an unlock key to my email and tried that and it said unlock complete or something like that.
Now when I turn on the phone every time I see a "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" thing on the screen before startup. But when I put in a sim it asks for unlock pin. And yes I checked the sim is compatible with moto g. They even sell these phones at the carrier stores I am with.
So can it be fixed?
I have lollipop 5.0.2 installed on this phone. And I tried a downgrading to kitkat last night and it ended up wiping all my data but didn't downgrade to kitkat. The only thing I noticed on the tutorial that the tutorial was for unlocked xt1032 phones and at the time the phone was locked. So that might have been the problem.
It sounds like you're talking about 2 different locks. Motorola's method unlocks the bootloader so you can install different ROMs and such. AFAIK it has nothing to do with locking the phone to a particular carrier. I'm not sure how SIM locks work; I think you'll have to contact your carrier about that.
What are the instructions to Network SIM unlock the Moto G Pure Model XT2163DL?
