Heyo guys/gals,
So I purchased the Moto E prepaid from Verizon, then noticed there currently isn't a way to root it, which is a deal breaker. So I promptly returned it. Would it be possible to buy a different model (not xt1528) and use it on Verizon's network with VoLTE (that would allow me to use it as data and voice, if I'm not mistaken)? I figure it is a long shot, but thought I would ask.
Thanks!
From what I read only postpaid support VoLTE
Hey all,
I noticed that the moto z was a Verizon exclusive unless you bought the gsm unlocked version from Motorola. As for the Verizon version, if it's unlocked but still a Verizon phone would it work with TPO (the people's operator)? I believe TPO is an umbrella of T-Mobile. I read from multiple places that it depends on the phone to see whether or not a Verizon unlocked will work on another carrier. Some eBay listings I've seen have said Verizon models will work with others while others said it wouldn't. I haven't been to find any moto z specific info regarding this on the internet. If someone could give me some insight that would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The problem which you face there is with the LTE bands. Now a days GSM and 3G bands are standard and most phones support all the 3G and 2G bands for universal use. But the same is not the case for LTE bands. The Verizon unit may not have the LTE bands needed for T-Mobile and other US GSM carriers so you will be better off buying the unlocked version.
Tried looking for answers but I haven't found one for the US Cellular variant.
Just want to make sure before buying one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIFS9QC
So If anyone can confirm thanks.
I recently purchased a s9+ from a amazon seller thinking it was a universal unlocked phone. However, the phone is a At&t unlocked phone and I'm using tmobile. I believe I'm losing VoLte, wifi calling HD voice and band 71. I called Samsung and ubreakifix and they started flashing the pho e would brick the device. What can I do to make this phone compatible with tmobile? I don't know anything about flashing but was referred to this site. I greatly any information you guys have.
Hi, wondering if anyone has converted any of the carrier models to the US Retail model. If so can you please share the instructions.
Also wondering can the International ROM be flashed and the SIM Card tray changed to make the US Moto G Power to a dual sim model?
I used this guide to flash from the Google Fi ROM to the Retail ROM and then the Verizon ROM. Verizon doesn't seem to like the phone unless it is their ROM. Otherwise I would have left it on the Retail/RETUS ROM.

After flashing the retail version XT2041-4 mine still stays the same on carrier version XT2041-6 (Consumer Cellular).
My bootloader is unlocked and flash was successful but still not change on carrier version.

So you have the retail US Moto G Power xt2041-4 and was able to successfully flash the Verizon Moto G Power firmware on it?
Do you now have WiFi calling and Visual Voicemail on your Moto G Power?
I'm asking because I have the unlocked retail xt2041-4 and am using it on Verizon but all the Verizon features don't work on the retail model so I am thinking of flashing the Verizon firmware on it.
Btw, thanks for the Reddit link.

I had the Google Fi edition, which is also fully unlocked. However it didn't play well with Verizon until I flashed the Verizon ROM. I can confirm wifi calling worked, but I didn't check visual voicemail before giving it to someone else.

Okay great. Thanks.
What about the Consumer Cellular Moto G Power? After Consumer Cellular unlocks it after 30 days on one of their plans. Will it then work on all carriers including VZW?
Because right now at CC it's $150 + 1 month service to get it unlocked.
