The Verizon XT1528 and the AT&T/GoPhone/Cricket XT1527 have locked bootloaders that do not qualify for the Moto Bootloader Unlock program. Therefore, there is no way to install custom recovery (TWRP) to install root.
The other models (the Moto-direct XT1527, the Sprint/USC XT1526, international models) do qualify. Unlock BL, flash TWRP, flash root, done.

No hope for root on this specific variant. I've tried every exploit out there, no deals. When I select my next handset I'm going to check if it can be rooted first. Also, I will never purchase hardware from Verizon again.

Unlock the bootloader via Moto's Bootloader Unlock website, flash TWRP, flash root.

Hello I'd like to know if Moto Tool could Root and apply Recovery CWM ?
I did Moto E 1ª Gen bootloader unlock and it worked, Now it's unlocked, does the Moto E 1ª Gen Root Procedure Works in Moto 2º Gen as well ?
PS: I did a search B4 create this Thread
root procedure is same
Root procedure is same
unlock bootloader
install custom recovery
flash superSU zip to get root access
Yes the Root procedure worked fine, the cellphone it's rooted confirmed by root checker, but when I do the recovery flash recovery-cwm or recovery-twrp I can't enter in recovery mode I see a message in cellphone like "Boot Up Failed"
Fastboot Reason: Reboot mode set to fastboot
USB Connected
cmd: getvar: partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar: max-download-size
cmd: download:007f4800
cmd: flas:recovery

Any1 can Help?
Just to be sure, is your model the 3G version or the LTE version? The currently available TWRP is for the LTE version only.

Yeah it's 3G version ;/
I needed at least a cwm version, in boot mode all them work, but when i try to flash recovery I got boot failed.
You should flash back stock recovery for the 3G model. There are no custom recoveries available for your model yet. I'd make one if I had a 3G unit, but sadly the 3G model is not available in Canada.

I downloaded the current motorola usb drivers from motos website (version 2.5.4).
But when I switch to BP tools on this verizon moto e my pc still asks for "XT1528" software.
Does anyone know where I can get these so I can enable diag?
Thank you!

I have been searching this too, trying to get the GSM bands on my Verizon XT1528. This is first Verizon device and new to the CDMA/GSM and diag unlocking.
I bet you have already looked at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm2NKdXdHnc
not specifically for the Moto E but some of the tricks may be applicable. If you find how to get this to work, let us know.
I have a new moto e lying on my table for the last two weeks, I am willing to mess with it if somebody will guide me with the diag unlocking GSM radios in CDMA phone.
I'm running the XT1528 on T-Mobile, I just followed the guide by whoareyou.

brotherswing, thanks for the suggestion. I think this is the guide you are referring to:

But I'm hoping to still get this to work on Sprint. Yes, I know I could buy the sprint version.
Does anyone else know about the xt1528 software to get diag mode working through the bp tools bootloader menu setting?
I recently bought a Cricket Version XT1527 that is not allowed for bootloader unlocking. From what I've read you can flash other signed roms. However, I recently bricked one trying this. I think it is because I started with the 5.1 rom which seems to hose things up. Therefore, two questions before I try this again.
1. Can I flash my locked bootloader cricket to the sim unlocked variant (no carrier) 5.0.2 rom with no problems?
2. When it gets the 5.1 update, will it install without any issues?

was this the 2015 moto e? I didn't think there was a go phone version.
Also, did anything screw up? Did parts of it successfully flash? Or did it just deny everything and stay with stock?
You can't do it. Trying it would likely brick your phone. Look, to flash a Unlocked SIM firmware, you'd need to have your bootloader unlocked, as it'd be a different firmware than yours, and the phone doesn't let you flash alien firmware if your bootloader is unlocked.
For Cricket users, there's no way to flash any firmware other than Cricket one.

And they make the bootloader unlockable so you CAN'T unlock the SIM, stuff like this should be illegal.

In order to flash any of the ROMs you'll find here on this forum you'll need to have an unlocked bootloader, which I believe is only available on the H850 European model of the G5. I haven't seen any posts on a successful unlock for the Verizon, which I believe is the VS987 and not the H850.

Does anyone have a link to the Pie OTA update file? I'm stuck on Oreo. I am rooted but want to unroot and go to pie. My bootloader also won't relock for some reason

There no point in relocking your bootloader. Starkiller uploaded the full ota. You need to reflash firmware and dont root it. My guide has the instructions for reflashing stock. After you do that put the ota file in the root of your sd card then go to settings, apps, and find Moto update services and allow it to have access to your sd card. Then go the update Moto software from settings
---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- 3Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------
But the ota starkiller uploaded is for the boost Mobile variant xt1922-7 not for xt1922-9 sorry I forgot about that. Do not use the ota I mentioned. Best you can do untill your pie update is uploaded on mirrors is either wait for the ota to hit your device then reflash stock firmware then take the pie ota or just wait. Either way you still need to be on unrooted stock firmware. relocking your bootloader does absolutely nothing anymore basically.
Wait, so if I get the XT1922-9 model (Best Buy/Target) I'll be stuck on Oreo? I guess that's the downside of not getting a carrier-locked phone.

Can anyone confirm this as a fact? I bought an unlocked model XT1922-9 from Lenovo direct.
I actually want to remain on 8/Oreo because 9/Pie blocks call recording apps. :fingers-crossed:
If I got stuck on Pie, I'd have to root in order to get call recording back. I'd rather not bother!
if anyone is bummed Motorola is taking so long to update our unlocked g6 play/wanting updated vendor and stuff to run pie gsi's and looking to flash pie for unlocked retus jeter (xt1922-9,) just flash the USC version on lolinet. Everything I have tested so far works just fine, only thing I have not tested yet is sim(calling, text, data.) My IMEI is still being shown in settings so I'm guessing when I pop in my verizon sim everything will be fine but YMMV. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked first before flashing because the boot.img will give a bad key message but it works fine.

in about phone, software channel still says US retail even with the USC firmware.
Use the repair guide at the bottom of this post for the fastboot flashing instructions:

Maybe I should have phrased it better. Is Pie coming to this model at all? It seems like Pie is being reserved for carrier-branded phones, perhaps as incentive to get a carrier-branded phone instead of an unlocked non-carrier-branded phone. If that is not the case, is Motorola/Lenovo waiting till the last minute? Cause Android Q will be here in a few months (August).

Some of the other unlocked versions have gotten the update such as the x4. And the G6 Brazil so I don't see why not

Maybe is something with jeter devices in general and not unlocked devices since aljeter has a lot of devices already in Pie, locked and unlocked. Just saying. I don't know how many jeter versions are in official pie already
