[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrplowdan:
Hello fellow moto heads. I'd like to convert my recently purchased xt1032 to GPe complete stock. The brand new phone came with 4.4.4 so it's always had bootloader 41.13. I've unlocked it and found the gpe full stock 4.4.4 images easily enough. However I'm getting prevalidation errors trying to flash gpt.bin and mboot. I figured I shouldn't try to keep going with the next images. I suppose the flashable zips could work if I flash the stock kernel as well, and convert /data to ext4.

So, BF came and I shot me a verizon unlocked xt1096 somewhat foolishly expecting that unlocked means fully unlocked.....means I can do with it what I want.

Not getting gang raped like the Apple crowd.

But it seems like I was wrong. After some days of just playing around with the new phone and still using my Note2 (rooted) I went ahead and made the full switch........

and got kicked in the balls when I realized that some of my beloved progs won't work because, the thing has a locked bootloader (wtf??) and can't be rooted (another wtf).

Now, I really wonder why this is, since I paid for the phone in full that I can not do with it what I want.

Maybe I am stupid (easily possible) but I don't get this. Can someone please explain why this is that way?

Thanks

What do you mean? I should have asked Motorola if they lock the bootloader in the name of the all so mighty overlord Verizon?

Sorry, but I think if I buy a factory unlocked phone, I should receive a unlocked phone. A phine that is free of the antics and bs of Verizon.

Thats why I opted out of my contract and went with a prepaid solution. Where I bring my own phone.

What nerves me most here, is that everyone takes the dry as* screwing like it is normal that you get drilled up the backside high and dry.

Where is the outcry? Is really everyone so commercially ironed out and conformed that we can be handled like money suppliers that bring their cash anyway?

Please don't answer, I really fear to hear many "yes" or even worse, if you don't like it go back to Europe.

I don't see what the problem is. Your money speaks your opinion. Cancel your service with verizon and switch to T-Mobile or at&t where you can use a PE. Or buy a nexus 6 (which can be unlocked on Verizon). The web has a vast amount of info on any phone you ever plan on buying.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungarian:
you are overseeing one crucial point. I bought the phone from Motorola. NOT from Verizon. I bought it outside of a contract. I bought it unlocked.

And still Verizon has power over a phone they shouldn't have.

The problem with other providers around here is, that they don't have coverage......
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You still bought a Verizon branded phone. Verizon doesn't care about whether or not you are on contract, what they care about is that you are on their network. They want to have full control of every device that's on their network, plain and simple. I understand your frustration but it's not like a precedent is being set here- this is how it's always been. Not trying to drive salt in the wound here but had you done your due diligence and researched prior to purchase, you could have avoided this little surprise. As I said, this is nothing new, unfortunately.

As far as I know, it is impossible to buy any variant of the Moto X 2014 that comes with an unlocked bootloader. Secondly, Motorola only marketed the Pure Edition Moto X (GSM) as being bloat-free. Motorola (or any other manufacturer for that matter) will never sell a CDMA phone that is not carrier-branded as all of the major CDMA carriers will only activate their own carrier-branded phones.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan1431:
About 6 months ago I was flying out of PBI (West Palm Beach International Airport) and sat next to a guy in the gate area and we ended up chatting until boarding. During the course of our covnvo, it came out that he worked for VZW Corporate in their marketing group.

While I have no idea if the gentleman I spoke with was just speculating or if this was/is VZW's reasoning, but he explained there are really two main reasons why VZW does not want one of its branded devices bootloader unlocked and rooted. Reason 1: is that it drives more volume to support when a customer attempts either of the aforementioned processes, which in turn makes their phone unusable in some fashion and then after deciding that their phone is no longer working (if at all) as they would like, calls into VZW for help. He said that when a customer calls into support that costs VZW $$$$ and VZW wants to limit support and thus costs to people who are having trouble with their devices through no fault of their own, not customers who attempted such things as a bootloader unlock and then didn't have the success they thought they would. Essentially the take away as I understood this gentleman is that too many customers do not have personal responsibility and VZW does not want to pay for their customers mistakes.

Reason 2: When root is achieved a user can do things with their phone that VZW may not approve of and thus more easily violate VZW TOS without VZW's knowledge. The take away here is VZW does not really trust its customers and as I understand the guy would at every turn attempt to screw the company out of revenue by tethering for example and thus they have to ensure for the financial viability of the company that customers do not attempt to steal from VZW.

I am sure a lot of what the gentleman said was pure Corporate BS, but it may very well explain their point of view and why VZW want's their branded handsets locked down.

Actually, no, there is not a single version that comes with an unlocked bootloader. There are some that can have their bootloader unlocked through Motorola, but none that have an unlocked bootloader out of the box.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Eh, it's not really corporate BS, he was being pretty honest with you. He straight up told you that it's a matter of cost/stopping people from violating the TOS. And let's face it, Verizon is right to not trust its customers. There are tons of posts for every Verizon device (and other devices) asking how to tether without the carrier knowing.

I would love to say "Well if Verizon doesn't want to provide support for rooted phones, just don't provide support if someone has a rooted phone," but the reality is that since Verizon still provides service contracts they would be in a tough situation. I don't think there's any legal burden for them to provide support for their phones, but from the customer's point of view they would now be stuck with a device that Verizon will not help them with, and a costly service contract that they can't use due to the device issues that Verizon won't let them out of.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungarian:
sorry, but a on click solution to open the bootloader or a open bootloader, where is the difference? Both are legally and quite quickly doable.

I am not really seeing why you have to ride on a technicality, when the main point is, if you do anything remotley close to VZ, you are ****ed.

I am getting the feeling we all become more and more like Apple users. TOS says so, so we bend down, spread our cheeks and take it. Amen.

The big king that took our money decided so. I tell you, if Tmobile wouldnt be so ****ty around my place I would be with them quicker then you can say TOS.

I tried, but it did not work.

What Verizon does here is playing the schoolyard bully. And you raptir sound like you have a little bit to much fun standing on their side of the game.

I'm not even on Verizon, and actually left Verizon due to the policy. All I was saying is that 1) it's a fairly commonly known policy, and easy to find out about with a quick google search and 2) I understand why they have the policy from a business perspective. I'm now on T-Mobile but continue to buy only unbranded phones since even T-Mobile puts bloatware on their phones. The major problem with Verizon is that you can't "bring your own phone" to Verizon, so you're stuck with branded offerings.

I do find it fairly unlikely that no other carrier works well in your area. Even AT&T allows you to bring your own device and has comparable coverage to Verizon.

They're no better than Verizon about bootloaders on their branded devices. But again, you can buy a Moto X Pure Edition and bring it to AT&T.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I'm on AT&T and at least where I am, their service has been impeccable the past couple of years that I've been with them. They are pretty much just as tight on bootloaders as Verizon but at least they are GSM and we can bring our own devices. I'm currently using both a Nexus 5 and a Pure Moto X (along with an iPhone 6) on AT&T. Obviously both of my Android phones have unlocked bootloaders. I've been with T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon in the past and I am happiest with AT&T.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Motorola has a 14 day return policy, even for customized phones.

As far as dropped calls, one thing I've found is that carriers drop calls cross-carrier much more often. When both my dad and I were on Verizon, we had few dropped calls. When I switched to T-Mobile, we had more (though not "a lot"). When he switched to T-Mobile as well the dropped call issues went away.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borxnx:
Ha! US Cellular wins again! The only US non-Pure variant to have unlockable BL! (wait, unless Sprint is)

But, back to topic, it's a pretty well-known fact that Verizon locks all their devices. People complain everywhere, yet continue throwing money at them.

And the whole "that if I buy somethng I buy the right to use it as I want it" argument is invalid. It's like you're saying "I bought a washing machine and it won't brew my coffee!"

You can use your VZW Moto X 2014 in absolutely ANY way you want. Put it up your nose, throw it in a lake, feed it to a dog, hell, you can even pee on it. You can even buy all the Verizon devices you want. But you are paying for locked bootloader. That's just how it is. If you want something that is guaranteed unlockable, get a Nexus. Or get off Verizon.

Either way, I have no pity for you. You have not been misled, tricked, singled out, or wronged in any way. You simply made an assumption that led to a poor decision. Happens to lots of people all the time, don't feel bad about it.

Verizon locked bootloader

Hi all,

I bought Motorola Moto X 16GB (2nd Gen 2014) - (SIM Free/Unlocked) UNLOCKED FACTORY, it is XT1096, bootloader - 0x600C

This is Verizon branded phone. I want to use it in LTE/GSM network in Israel. It works with SIM from my operator, 3G.

The phone still branded and OTG system update from Verizon even failed to start download on my network.

I'm not sure what else will not work (like roaming, LTE, etc.)

I have a question: Is it possible to unlock the bootloader? What other options I have?

Thanks a lot.

You won't be able to unlock the bootloader for the Verizon, XT1096. I would return that phone if possible or sell it if you're planning on using it in Israel. I don't know for certain, but you probably want the XT1092 for Europe and Asia.
