Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I had given up on Moto G as a potential root on Verizon Prepaid, but then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52717219
If it has, what guide would I use? If not, any suggestions for a rootable on Verizon Prepaid?
If you need Verizon prepaid, look into Page Plus, at www.pagepluscellular.com because they are prepaid on Verizon's network. The Boost Mobile Moto G is rootable and can be made to work on Page Plus.

Let me just add a comment here if I may.
I have a Boost MOTOG flashed to use Pageplus. Version 4.4.2
Although I have unlocked the bootloader and installed the SUPERSU via recovery, the phone will not root. No error messages or anything but if you try to use any app that needs root, it will not work.
It has something to do with Verizon & 4.4.2 version.

Yea, I'm getting mixed feedback. I appreciate the suggestion with Pageplus and still trying to look into it. The guys over at rootandroid told me they can't root the G on Verizon Prepaid. I really don't want to be on the "bleeding edge" as an amateur. Still looking for a proven method, or an alternative phone...

I have a Boost Moto G flashed to PP, on 4.4.2, and root works just fine for me. Running xposed like a champ. Titanium backup worked for removing needless apps, too. I used the superboot method.

I am seriously considering buying a Verizon prepaid Moto G, but this root issue may be a deal breaker for me. Why so much of a problem with rooting this phone. I know the bootloader is locked, but I have had phones that were locked but I was still able to root them. What's with the Moto G?

Thank you. When you get a minute, could you please look at what version your bootloader is? Mine is 41.05.
Thanks.

Going down the Pageplus road, but first another question. Is there another MVNO you might recommend other than Pageplus that's prepaid and on the Verizon net?
The reason is, I got pushback from Pageplus when I mentioned the G. Claim their dealers can't handle it. In addition they claim Verizon is blocking the G because it is a prepaid device.
In short it must be a 3g or backwards compatible to 3g device, nonprepaid and a Verizon contract phone.
I've found 3 PP dealers in the area, might see how far I get with the G or other best option they have. I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking another MVNO...

I use Page Plus, so I don't know any other MVNOs. They are correct about the Moto G, Verizon blocks their Moto G for at least 6 months. If you flash a Boost G, their imeis aren't registered on Verizon, so they come up fine. Dealers won't know this, but you can set yourself up on the Page Plus website. Kitty Wireless, a Page Plus dealer, offers free ESN checks to make sure you can use a phone with them. Kitty is all online, though.
Edit: I should specify, my wife has the Boost G on PP, I set it up. Bought a Verizon G before I knew about the locked bootloader and Boost flashing. When the Verizon G can be used on PP, we'll be trading phones.

Can anyone confirm if unlocking your bands through root in 5.0.1 is broken when you upgrade OTA to 5.1.1?
Or once you unlock the bands one time, theyre unlocked for the life of the phone?
Any input would be highly appreciated. BTW this is for the H959 version. Tried searching and couldnt come up with anything.
Thanks!
Unroot using Supersu when you hear update is available.

So I have an lg g stylo from metropcs. After 3months I got it unlocked and now I have T-Mobile sim card. My question is can I flash a T-Mobile variant rom? Or do I just stay with metro roms?
For example Katana you can flash the main rom then either pick T-Mobile or Metropcs Variant. That's where I'm confused! if only cm had video I would of gone with cm.
I would say the MetroPCS one. Go to settings and look up your hardware info. If it says MS631 for your phone type you need the metro one, H631 is T-Mobile.

You purchased a carrier locked device to use on none carrier network.... that is dumb unless you are willing to deal with all the issues this being one.

I got my phone att phone in the states but got stationed overseas being military. Att did me a favor and unlocked the phone for me with proof of my orders. I am not able to get these updates because of where I located and can no longer use an active att Sim card. There are some of us who have legitimate reasons to download the firmware other than the traditional method. I have looked on the att support page and these forums but can only find custom roms. All I'm looking for is the official update

You cannot sadly. You MUST use a att sim or flash a custom rom. There's no way around it unfortunately. If it was available I'd have it in my guide to flash but it's not.

I received an unlocked AT&T based H820 from LG as a replacement for my H830 phone that I used on T-Mobile. Can I flash a ROM that is made for H830 (T-Mobile) in this forum on my H820 phone? I am currently using my T-mobile sim card in this phone and have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, but would like a cleaner rooted t-mobile rom.
Any suggestions?
Do you get consistent LTE connection? I read once that it kept switching back and forth from LTE to 3G...
Thanks.

Nope, unless the rom specifically says that it can be used by both variants.

I did not get consistent LTE. There was a lot of AT&T crap that I could not disable or uninstall either. To add to the misery, AT&T's bootlocker could not be unlocked and there are no ROMs for it in the ATT forum for this phone.
I gave up and called LG and asked them to send me a T-Mobile version and used excuses like dropped calls, loss of signal, etc. :laugh: They got me to talk to their manager who agreed and they sent out a TMo one that I am currently using happily without any issues!

So, you flashed a H830 rom into a H820? could you please upload the file? I bricked my AT&T H820 and I can't find any file to flash.... I'll buy you a beer
Sorry. I called LG and they swapped my ATT phone with a Tmo variant since I was not successful in flashing a ROM on the phone
