it was just tech support at verizon, there was no conference call but when the guy finally agreed he put me on hold for 2-3 minutes.

the jist was i broke my phone, went to buy another, they lady tried to charge me $20 to change my number and I told her that seemed strange why can't i swap my number myself. and she told me to hold on, talked to the "manager" and came back and said if I bought next months service card she would waive the $20 fee... I asked, verified that it would be added to my account and activated when my current $70 plan expired, which she confirmed. It did not. it erased my 2 weeks of service and approx 2.5 gigs of data and left me with .5 gigs of data !!

So I called verizon, they basically told me to get bent but did say they didn't think she was correct in what she did (20+ minutes on the phone). so I went back to the store. she wasn't there but a guy that acted like a manager was and told me there was nothing they could do, wrote down a number and told me to call it and explain, which I did and it was the tech support number that comes pre-programmed in the phone. This guy actually listened and gave me a $20 credit and 1 gig of data, but he told me on the phone it was going to be my full data I paid for, incorrect again. or lied to. I don't know which, but he had to know it was one gig so I'm leaning towards an outright bold faced lie. anyways, I kept on saying even with the full data return (that he was telling me and i didn't get) I was being excluded from two weeks of service. and I wanted my phone unlocked. 30+ minutes later I got an unlock code... maybe, since I can't even figure out where to put it!!?

edit: yes, xt1028 verizon moto g
[Moto G General] classic757:
Man, Verizon really gave you the business! Unfortunately they make a practice of doing that to their customers.

Oh, and as far as the unlock code they gave you, you have to use adb to use that code and unlock your phone but I am not sure that is an unlock code they gave you because I believe the unlock code is a twenty digit code. I could be wrong but I believe the code is twenty digits.

A lot of the Verizon "technical support" reps don't know crap about phones or phone operating systems. They are mainly reading off a computer screen either the manual for your specific phone or a generic q&a manual.
[Moto G General] Darkshado:
This is what an XT1032 bootloader unlock code looks like: EGBVCJWYDLMNRHPWQCRB (not my actual code)

So 20 letters in all, and no digits in mine. Those who bought their VZW XT1028 codes can confirm if theirs were the same.

And if that rep somehow generated a "SIM unlock" (I know, I know, bear with me) those I've seen are usually eight digits, not eleven...
[Moto G General] stdroid:
I googled, found directions for bootloader unlocking and tried it

(bootloader) Password incorrect!

(bootloader) OEM unlock failure!

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.312s

how nice....
[Moto G General] Soul0Reaper:
Yeah the boost phone can be unlocked and flashed to Verizon MVNOs. Someone had success doing it with Page Plus on xda, so I'd imagine straight talk can't be much different. I'm not sure how the unlock code would be inputted but those that paid the Chinese guy 45 bucks should be able to tell you.
[Moto G General] d4rk3:
My unlock code for my XT1028 had this format:

GFD123GFD4GER4GREG23
[Moto G General] classic757:
Oh, okay. 13 letters and 7 numbers.

Does this format have any similarities to your MEID number? (I do not want to know the number, just want to know if maybe the code is derived from the meid).

My meid is 14 numbers and letters total.
[Moto G General] d4rk3:
I actually just typed random letters/numbers for that, but it is 20 characters.

Here's the actual format mine was in (A=Letters, 1=Numbers):

AAAA1AAAAA11A111A1AA

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

And, just checked my MEID...7 letters and 7 numbers. Interesting...
[Moto G General] classic757:
Okay, thanks. Still 13 letters and 7 numbers. This really sucks what Verizon does with their bootloaders!

There has got to be a way to unlock this thing without having to go the route of a middleman to do it.
[Moto G General] d4rk3:
I hear you man, I was so mad when I couldn't unlock mine back in January. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew that Verizon wanted to be the stand-out pricks of the bunch.

As for the middleman, I highly recommend him if you wanna get yours unlocked...cuz IDK if we'll ever have a true exploit for the bootloader other than the Motorola unlock code...
[Moto G General] classic757:
Yeah, I hear you. I think I'm gonna go ahead and do the middleman thing because we may never get an unlock exploit. Is the guy still doing the unlocking that you know of? I would like to do this soon.

Oh, and BTW my meid is 9 numbers and 5 letters.

Hell yes! Simply flash a recovery (CWM or TWRP) in fastboot, then boot to recovery from the fastboot menu.

You can now easily root your phone from the custom recovery. If you need further help just ask :)

It is a wonderful feeling to be unlocked! And yeah, I wish they would stop stabbing their customers in the back like this. The crap we have to go through just to be able to use our phones that we bought the way we want to is ridiculous!

Anyway, where can I find the right version of TWRP recovery for my moto g?

I like TWRP better than CWM.

Have you heard of Philz's Recovery? It's designed specifically for all variants of the moto g.

Yes. Rename the TWRP img file you downloaded to "recovery.img", then use the command:

Or, simply replace "recovery.img" with the full name of TWRP img file :)

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago Best Buy had the Moto G on sale for $49.99! Talk about a steal! This is a very nice phone and to be able to get it so cheap is utterly ridiculous! And to think that the LG Exceed 2 sells for $69.99 at Best Buy and although LG makes nice phones the Exceed 2 does not even belong in the same conversation with the Moto G. What a deal and a steal! :laugh:
[Moto G General] d4rk3:
Yeah exactly, for the price it was still too good of a deal for me to pass up buying another solely for unlocking.
[Moto G General] classic757:
That's the way to do it! :good:

Also, you said in post #248 that you have tried at least five roms on your moto g. Which ones are they? And as for LiquidSmooth 4.4.3 how is it on battery life? Right now I am unlocked and rooted on stock firmware.Thought about flashing a rom but don't want to compromise the excellent battery life I have now.

Also I like some of the Motorola Mobility apps that come with stock, although I believe they can be installed through the Play Store as well.
[Moto G General] d4rk3:
Oh, my friend, the battery life is so damn good. I charge my phone overnight and at the end of the day before bed I've still been in the 72%-76% range :) Granted, while at work I typically don't use my phone too much but the amount of battery used is so minimal it still blows my mind. On any other phone I've had I've be lucky to be in the 40%'s before bed.

This is on the LiquidSmooth 4.4.3, and I've been in that 70% range every day since I flashed over the weekend. I believe the range was almost identical on the LS 4.4.2 as well.

Here are the ROMs I've tried:

LiquidSmooth v3.0/v3.1

CM 11

EHNDROIX V 14.5.17

Omni Rom [4.4.3]

SlimKat [Build 5.2]

XPerience-8.0.0-MR7

Maybe another one or two that I'm forgetting. LiquidSmooth is my favorite by far, simply because it's so fast/smooth, battery life is amazing and I can apply a full blackout color theme. I recommend flashing it at some point and giving it a whirl!

All of the above have a unified falcon build, and so far none of them have caused any issues. So, in theory, any unified falcon build should be safe for our XT1028's.

Any other questions just holla :)
[Moto G General] classic757:
Wow! Thanks for the info!

I have used CM roms in the past on other phones and to me they have always been buggy and drained my battery faster than you can blink.

I have heard good things about OmniRom and Slim Kat. EHNDROIX V and XPerience I don't know anything about.

I may give LiquidSmooth a whirl. They have been around a while and have a good reputation for making fast and stable roms. And with the battery life being what you say it is, then why not try it, right? :)
[Moto G General] d4rk3:
Most definitely. And don't get me wrong, all of the ROMs I tried seem to have better than stock battery life, and even better once I froze any of the minimal Google bloat that came with whatever Gapps package I installed.

Unfortunately I also experienced bugginess with CM11 and any of the above ROMs that were based off of CM. Nothing major, but enough qwirkiness to push me towards flashing new ROMs...which eventually led me to LiquidSmooth :)

New Boot Logo

Hey guys, a little off post here but I rebooted my phone a few minutes ago and the usual moto g boot logo (the spinning world logo and then the aqua M logo) has been replaced with a really cool spinning world, soccer ball and soccer field logo with a pink M followed by a white screen with the Verizon logo and then my home screen. I did not put this on my phone but I like it! Maybe something Verizon is doing for the World Cup Soccer Tournament. Nice! :)
[Moto G General] TotesMyGoats:
Correction, something MOTOROLA is going :p and it was a result of updating the Motorola Boot Services on the Play Store. We get a new boot animation about once a month or so
[Moto G General] classic757:
Oh, okay. Thanks. That I did not know. Have had my Moto G for about three weeks. The play store update must have been an automatic one because I did not initiate it. Maybe my settings are for automatic updates. On all my other phones that I have had the only way my boot logo and animation changed was if I changed it myself.

Again, thanks for the info. :good:
[Moto G General] TotesMyGoats:
It's always a surprise the first time :p my favorite so far has been the April Fools one
[Moto G General] NWKENT:
Yes..Motorola, for the past few months, during holidays and special events, have been changing the boot animation..when one updates in the Play Store, is when this change is taking place..

Depends on the model also..when the animation, update is done..Moto has also been doing this with the Moto X..

Edit: As mentioned above..the April fools animation is the last animation change for the XT1028..unless I missed one..lol

Please follow the instructions regarding the firmware dump and post the kernel, recovery, etc, so that there may be backups of these things.
