Is this possible?
"Downgrade" to the official Cricket 4.4.2 (or .3) ROM
Install Sunshine and unlock bootloader
Install Lollipop or CM
I'm pretty sure the Cricket phones have locked bootloaders that are not easily unlocked - even through Motorola 'officially'.
So I have s-off now but I'm not sure what to do about the firmware. It's running 1.27.502.5 but I don't know how to upgrade the firmare. The roms I see seem to require it. Is there a rom anyone recomends for my phone as is? Or upgrade?

Is your phone international or US?
If it IS us and not unlocked, see this thread to upgrade to firmware 1.57: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...nvert-to-htc-usa-unlocked-1-12-t3271861/page8
Then, you can flash caynogenmod, or mokee ROM.
You can also use a tutorial I made to flash a new splash screen to match your custom boot animation:

it is US but I have unlocked the bootloader to root. Or are you talking about sim unlocked? Sorry, I haven't rooted a phone since the m7 years ago.

Did you buy it from a carrier or from HTC.com as unlocked? If it can pre-sim unlocked, you can flash the most recent firmware (as ruu). Only then will you be able to run CyanogenMod or mokee (ROM)

I got it from ATT so I unlocked the bootloader myself. I used the sunshine app for S-off.

You will need to use the first link I posted to come very to the USA unlocked model. Then you can upgrade firmware to 1.57
If you have a branded phone then it seems the boatloader cannot be unlocked to install custom roms. Is it possible to change this by flashing generic stock firmware to remove the carrier branding first?
