[Moto G Play (2021)] Goreshock:
Good evening folks,

I've got a little conundrum here:

I'm trying to change the channel on a Moto G Play from "boost" to an RETCA.

Here's my variables:

It is a "XT2093-3" and I am trying to flash "XT2093-4_GUAMNA_RETCA_11_RZAS31.Q2-146-14-11_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC" onto it.

I've tried both the LMSA and .bat file routes and in both cases the phone boots without any issues, but the ro.carrier is still "boost" and I have no idea how to defeat that.

(Honestly, my current goal is to get it to accept any sort of Canadian provider SIM)

Could anyone explain to me if that's possible, or if I have misunderstood the limitations of software flash and changing something this drastic is impossible?

Cheers!
