Hello, rather than continuing to post in other threads and going OT there, I though I would start a new thread here. I am getting my Moto G 2015 CMDA through Virgin Mobile in the mail soon. I am really hoping there is some way to achieve unlocked bootloader and root. Has anyone with the Sprint, US Cellular or Virgin Mobile CDMA variants been able to achieve either?
Alberto97 posted in the osprey CM Rom thread (post 361) that he thought it seems possible.
Anyone with information please post for me and other users, we would greatly appreciate it.
This thread can be closed.

Is anyone planning on starting a forum for the CDMA version of the Moto G? I know most stuff is the same, but there are differences...
Cheers
Putting [Q] in front of a general section doesn't makes it correct. Use the Q&A section for posting questions.

Differences like the hardcore lock down on the bootloader on the Verizon Moto G. I wasn't expecting Fort Knox, and it really bummed me out >.< I was looking forward to CWM and running some Xposed modules on here.

yeah, same here Totes. I was really hoping for a bootloader unlock. I followed the steps on the Motorola web site to see if my XT1028 could be unlocked, but it cannot. I would be happy with just root for now...
I got a Moto G 4g from cricket a few days ago. Their are so many different moto g versions I am lost as to which forum is for my version and what is possible with it.
Thx ahead of time.

You have a nice 4G specific FAQ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/rc-faq-frequently-questions-motorola-t2795336
Thanks I was hoping it was not bootloader locked.
This is not Q&A...
Yeah well no where else to ask about this particular model.. This is the only thread. And it seems all methods require unlocking through Motorola and my phone isn't eligible.

Hello,
Is there a way to carrier unlock the Moto G XT1031 on 4.4.4 from BoostMobile? I bought it certified pre-owned and I want to use it on TracFone. I read a few posts on the Internet that say that say unlocking the phone won't work past 1/15/2015... is this still the case on pre-owned devices? Or just for new devices bought after that date?
I'm a huge noob at this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You can unlock the bootloader here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537119

Well you don't carrier unlock cdma phones you flash them to another carrier. As for moto g on any thing else but boost sorry it is a no go. Unless like the lg g2 it is possible to say take a rom from vzw and put it on the boost variant and make it a verizon. The lg g2 sprint can be carrier unlocked by flashing a tmobile rom that has been modded. Found that out here on xda and did it.
So I made a post yesterday explaining my problem about having locked APN settings on my unlocked Sprint LG G5. Someone there pointed out I need an MSL code. How do I go about getting one? Do I have to deal with the headache we call sprint again?... also once I obtain the MSL code where do I input it? I have some idea where it needs to go but I'm not 100% sure...
like I said it's an LG G5, model number is LGLS992 (sprint phone thats GSM unlocked) and it's running 6.0.1.
Thanks in advance everyone and let me know if you need anymore info!

Hi Hockeywaves
Thank you for using XDA Assist
According to some fellow XDA users (threads listed below), you should call Sprint and they will inform you.

I just saw an LG G4 (VS986) on ebay. I live in India. The carrier is verizon, the VS986 is an US model. It is written that hotspot won't work. Also there is mentioned that verizon logo will come up during booting. My queries are:
1) Why hotspot won't work? Will I be unable to access WiFi also?
2) Why will verizon logo come up during booting? Is it common or the phone is rooted?
3) Will I also face problems regarding upgrading the phone to marshmallow?
That's all... I know these are too many questions but please help....
