hey guys just wanted to let you know on Verizon activations are now fixed for new lines etc... I entered my imei just to check and it accepted it,also my verizon now shows this:

MOTOROLA - XT1575
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oaklands:
That is great. Should make mine easy to do next week. I received the new sim from Verizon today
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahenjo:
Thanks, I tried earlier today and it still didn't work, but again just now after seeing your post and it did! Says I can buy a SIM at a store or call to have one shipped, then go ahead and activate service.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Yup :D
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xChrisk:
I activated mine on Verizon a week ago. I was an exsisting prepay customer coming from 3g without a sim card. I ordered both my sim card and phone from Amazon.

The local verizon store said that I could only activate through the call center's Tier 2 support. It took some time, and a bit of arguing, but eventually I convinced Tier 2 to at least try activation.

Once Tier 2 agreed to at least try, the phone was up and running in moments. All they needed was my imei and sim card number.

I think that Verizon will get the kinks worked out of their system. This phone is just an unusual situation for their employees.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahenjo:
Whoa, had a problem (not the IMEI which goes through ok now) when I called Verizon who COULD NOT OPEN A NEW ACCOUNT based on the Moto XPE!

In a 45-min call speaking with two different sales reps, with a tech support person in-between who also said it seemed it should go through ok now, at the end their system twice gave the same error in attempting to activate an account for this phone. They didn't think it's because something still needs to go through on their end because the phone is new, but rather told me that it apparently can't be set up on Verizon with a new account, which isn't likely to change. They apologized and it didn't seem like they were against unlocked phones and trying to stonewall me, and the second sales person hinted at ways to try getting a SIM activated on a Verizon phone then swapping it over., either with someone I know who uses Verizon, or perhaps by going to a corporate store where "they might get creative" (ie use one of their phones) but otherwise they'd run into the same problem at the store.

[MENTION=4547332]xChrisk[/MENTION] - just saw your post, can you please post a link for the SIM you ordered through Amazon? I'd try that because the tech support person seemed to want it to go through, so maybe if I call with a SIM in the phone Tier 2 will succeed for me. I want to port my current AT&T number though, which might make it more complicated but am willing to try.

My Verizon shows mine is a Motorola XT1575. It does not say non vzw device.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotmark:
Yes, as of yesterday, Verizon apparently white listed the MXP, so it no longer shows as a non-VZW device.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper000:
I just purchased the MXP yesterday through MotoMaker, and the website had an interesting option that I swear wasn't there before when I was playing around customizing the phone - - to purchase a SIM card for any of the major carriers (including Verizon) for $5.

Since people have posted that just getting a Verizon SIM was like hunting for Bigfoot, I shrugged and ponied up a Lincoln. Then I stopped by a local Verizon store who told me that they don't support BYOD or prepaid plans. Looks like I will be calling Verizon when the phone and the SIM arrives.

Anyone happen to know if Verizon would use the same SIM for a prepaid plan?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xChrisk:
Sorry for the late reply. I got this one. http://www.amazon.com/VERIZON-CARD-...d=1442619645&sr=8-2&keywords=verizon+nano+sim

However, I had to cut it down by hand so I would not recommend it unless there is no other option. In hindsight, maybe go into a store and convince them to allow you to get on the phone with Tier 2 there so they can issue you a sim on the spot.

I know it is usable. I've had mine for over a week now working just fine. By far the most frustrating thing with this phone on Verizon is that some amount of arguing seems to be involved in getting it activated. I spent hours on the phone arguing with people just to get them to type a string of numbers into a computer.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pismojim:
I walked into Verizon store on 9/14 with phone in hand and walked out with sim activated and phone in service. The rep had to call tech support when the phone wasn't recognized in his system. Once called, the tech support had it working in seconds. Persistence.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xChrisk:
They were wrong. This is an outdated policy and the employee requires training.

I had a Verizon Wireless customer service rep try telling me this and I nailed him on it and immediately demanded a supervisor.

I told the supervisor that I purchased this phone after being told, by multiple reps, that I could bring any device to Verizon Wireless and they would make it work as long as it had the appropriate connectivity.

Supervisor transferred me to Tier 2.

Tier 2 and I went in a few circles until I said "Look man, can we just give it a shot? I know this is unusual, but the phone is clean, brand new from Motorola, the SIM is new, between you and me lets see if we can make it work. He did and it did.

Also, I was/am a prepaid customer that came from a 3g plan. They had to zero my balance, which was fine I had less then 2$,. and restart my service, which was also fine since my plan ended in 3 days.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeck411:
If you already have a verizon sim just go to amazon and buy a sim cutter, they are like $7. I dont see what everyones problem is.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahenjo:
No prob, and thanks for the link & details. I also have a sim cutter if needed, but from your account and most of the others, it's not sounding worth all the trouble & uncertainty for my situation.

My $40 AT&T Go plan has 1.5 GB data w/unlimited talk & text, and I was going to pay $10 more for Verizon with only 1 GB to theoretically get their better coverage. My Nexus 4 only did HSPA so I hadn't used their LTE until getting my MXPE, and so far it's not just faster but I've noticed having decent service out in places I hadn't before, so maybe the coverage will be adequate now for my needs. I had to renew today anyway so I've got a month to test things, plus by then Verizon might have their act together more.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3demond3x:
As of yesterday the phone is now recognized by the Verizon as an approved device. You just have to call give your IMEI and sim card number and they'll activate it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Aftrburnr:
Hi all,

Bought this tablet off of craigslist a couple months ago after meeting seller at the T-Mobile store and confirming all was good for him to sell, no money owing, not stolen, etc...

I want to now sim unlock it to other carriers. I see ads all over the place for sim unlocking for a fee. They have to be doing it somehow... Thought I'd call T-Mobile to ask them to sim unlock their device. Was given the run-around for an hour, no satisfaction! I tried the chat and the idiot T-Mobile rep gave same run-around stories.

I've searched high and low for something that can sim unlock this tablet. I've found nothing yet. The T-Mobile sim unlocking app wouldn't install, incompatible. Hell, we can root these tablets all day long and I have other phones I've rooted no problem, but I see nothing yet for a sim unlock. Is this some black art or something?? To give some props here or an example, I bought an AT&T Galaxy S off craigslist. Got to the AT&T web page to request sim unlock. Filled out the form. A day and a half later, sim unlock code sent. Put T-Mobile sim in, it asked for code, entered code, watch now sim unlocked! :)

So, if anyone can help point me in the right direction for more info, appreciate you!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] vazgsm:
I´m afraid you´ll have to pay for the unlock. T-Mobile won´t unlock it as you don´t meet requirements (not subscriber, to begin with) , and you won´t get it for free. At&t gave you the code, but that doesn´t mean all carriers would do the same. People that sell codes get them from employees, not from their website. Some options:

- Search for a repair shop that make unlocks, but keep in mind that unlocking a phone without carrier´s consent can be considered illegal, according to DMCA [read this]. Repair shops that have modern tools for that kind of job would take 20 - 40 minutes to unlock it.

- Order code from reliable source. Paying by paypal is not securing transaction in this case, as it´s qualified as 'service', not goods, so they don´t have buyer protection program.

If you want to keep it slippery, try some diluted lye. It may cause some discoloration, but will render the oils into a really slick substance.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perry_:
Oh, I must be the party of one...I love the silicon back. The texture is different and pleasant. Maybe that's just compared to crappy silicon cases I usually have on my phones or the faux-leather backing of my Note Edge.

It also seems like it'll be durable. Naturally, it won't scratch like the back of most metal/glass phones, which often quickly renders a phone unattractive and unsellable.

I just got my phone yesterday with the leather back. It is not hard like plastic, but has a slight amount of squishyness. Not much though.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMak00:
Hi, guys...I just unrooted, factory restored, and used flashtool to fully restore my sprint lgls990 following some connectivity issues. My phone is currently on android 4.4.2.

I am seeking some advice/help on basically end-to-end help. Initially, I used stump to root my phone and then installed xposed and a few other items.

What I want to do now is run the easiest root possible, create a backup, and then install a custom rom. Specifically, I'd like to use CM10 CM11: Royal Blue Cobalt from the Play Store.

I have a strong concern about rom stability, though. I want/need lte data, wifi, phone, playstore, maps, and the like, but don't want to sprint bloatware crap. Is that what a custom ROM does, keep the essentials and dump the carrier crap?

So:

I think using stump will be the easiest root process.

I have read lots about twrp, but haven't found very good instructions for a noob like me, can anyone point me to "the" thread for installing and using twrp?

Where do I find the rom so I can use the theme I have noted above?

Basically, I'm looking for a roadmap for the threads I'll need to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for helping this noob...

Bump for a little help, please...

Is there a one-stop shop for rooting, backing up, and installing a custom ROM?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMak00:
Ok - re-used stump root to re-root my phone. Dl'd root checker to confirm and it confirmed rooted. Though root checker says to dl supersu to verify root, I didn't initially. Subsequently, dl'd supersu, granted root checker access, and confirmed root.

Now I wonder if I back up now or if I should have backed up before root? Answer: Seems that I cannot make a nandroid backup without recovery and to have recovery my boot loader needs to be unlocked, er rooted, right?

Edit:

Seems unlocking the boot loader is different than rooting the phone.

I suppose I can just use TWRP to back up the device?

Edit 2:

Okay, using this site - http://lg-g3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-lg-g3-0157830/ - I dl'd flashify, dl'd my ls990 img to the phone via the guide and will install next.

Edit 3:

Successfully installed the lg ls990 .img via Flashify; re-booted into twrp; and successfully created a backup. Then I connected the g3 to my pc and moved the very large backup file to my pc.

Edit 4:

I didn't include EFS in the back up...problem? No problem, just did another backup and chose all options available.

Now on to installing a cm rom...

Edit 5:
