Hello,
I recently got a G7 power T-mobile variant and was trying to get it working on safelink wireless a Verizon mvno. I have it network unlocked and bootloader unlocked and have been able to flash custom roms and my sim is detected but I can't seem to get any calls texting or data on it. I've been perusing the forum here reading everything I can on the issue and feel like I'm 90% of the way there but missing something. For anyone that has gotten Verizon working on their T-mobile G7 please help with how you managed to do it.
I flashed RR and then the Verizon modem but that didn't work. I'm going to try flashing back to stock T-mobile to see if I can get some connectivity.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
I have already flashed a custom rom to my phone that hasn't had connectivity and the issue is that the custom rom you flashed to your phone doesn't have your regional code for ur area and the tz.mbn file needs to be updated with your area's cod or just re-flash another custom rom because it's rare on how many times I have had to erase completely re-installed new and different Operating Systems to my phone just to learn and try different Roms and only twice have I got a Rom that doesn't support my data.
So just try a different rom from RR and it should be able to work? Should I do a comletely clean install like, wipe system then flash or flash stock rom, then do custom rom over the top?

I've read on another thread that to use hsdpa 1700 on an AT&T phone that you need to flash the baseband/radio from a Tmobile model. I've done something similar to this on the Note 3. Would I need to flash the whole firmware, seperate the radio from bootloader?
The reason I need to do this is because I am on Wind and the network isnt lte.
Tried flashing Tmobile modem. Stuck on AT&T logo now. Will restore stock when I find a computer without restrictions. I flashed with a modded CWM and there was no option to wipe cache. Multiple factory resets have not fixed it. Really loathing living in Canada right now.
This would prove almost impossible without a recovery.
How did/are you trying to install this?

There's a locked bootloader CWM somewhere. It was made for the Verizon model but worked on my AT&T. Backup and flashing was successful but clearing cache was not and unfortunately since it is locked bootloader it is one time use.
After months of being stuck on my Verizon Moto G with a locked bootloader, I finally managed to obtain freedom via the recent update to the SunShine app from jcase. My phone was having some issues prior to unlocking, and it took me several hours of labor and installing/reinstalling things to finally get TWRP and any ROM going properly. I've worked with Android tablets and custom ROMs before, but this is my first time on a Verizon phone.
I managed to get the N5X ROM installed and running, but I couldn't seem to resolve issues with data/mms, which I presume are APN related; trying to enter new APN settings in that ROM wouldn't save for whatever reason, either. For now, I'm back on an optimized stock 4.4.4 image until I can get that figured out.
My question: Is there any list of custom ROMs that do specifically work with a Verizon CDMA/XT1028 Moto G? Does anyone have a guide to getting these ROMs working on Verizon prepaid service, including any APN adjustments that need to be made? Thanks.
Followup: Still trying to figure this out, but the N5X ROM will give me working data if I enable Data Roaming. I've attempted to update the PRL for Verizon via *228, but the phone status still shows as roaming even though my PRL has been updated, displaying my network as T-CDMA 64. Is this simply an issue with my phone not properly identifying roaming/non-roaming due to the custom ROM? Verizon has the best coverage in my area, so I want to make sure it is connecting to the proper towers (and I'm not ACTUALLY roaming). Thanks.
I have tried flashing many different modem.bin but all of them fail inside of odin, now I am wondering if it is even possible to unlock my phone for use with a t-mobile sim card. The device can easily take and recieve calls under sprint rom but i am unable to connect to any tmobile towers and thus cannot get any data. Any suggestions?

I flashed my old rom and its working for now but it would be great if anyone knows how I could upgrade to 6.0.1 without removing the ability to use my data.
I bought this phone recently and immediately jumped into the rom scene to see what stock roms I could load up. I have tried Ressurection Remix, Carbon, and Lineage. All three of them refuse to make or receive calls when I'm on LTE; from what I understand from searching through the forums is that it might have something to do with VoLTE. I tried to disable it via build.prop but nothing changed and as I mentioned prior attempted to install other roms. I'm going back to stock for now because it makes little sense to only run the phone on 3G only in fear of missing calls.
Model: FRD-L14
Carrier: MetroPCS (It shares the same network as T-Mobile)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly your best bet would just to stick with stock for now until the main Developers get more things fixed because no custom ROM supports VoLTE and there have been numerous reports that T-Mobile has a problem with custom roms.
Hi all, I have a question; At my work we have very spotty coverage, so the lack of wifi calling is an issue for me. Is it possible to get wifi calling by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a lineage or RR ROM? If so, is there any reason I can't flash a custom ROM over the current version of stock firmware? (I have the H3223 model)
Also, if for some reason I can't flash a custom ROM, would it instead be possible to flash one of the European stock ROMs onto my phone and instead enabling wifi calling that way?
TIA
Mike
Kind of the price you pay when you buy an unlocked phone. It was a miracle that the xz premium got WiFi calling. So the odds of someone here building something that turns it on is slim. Custom roms might have the option in the menu but it's essentially a placebo on most roms

I bought the phone from amazon and when I wiped it and put the stock freedom mobile rom on WIFI calling was available (and worked) for me. Now that i'm on lineageOS for the Android 10 stuff its gone again.
