[VERIZON] BL Unlock & Firmware question - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, can i unlock the bootloader by the motorola's page with the verizon locked phone? or do i need a unsigned model to get the BL unlocked?
Can i put a global unsigned firmware to my Verizon MOTO E 2015 or can i only put my verizon's firmware on it?
Can i still use network on a global debloated firmware?
Thanks afterwards!

>can i unlock the bootloader by the motorola's page with the verizon locked phone?
No.
>do i need a unsigned model to get the BL unlocked?
Only the AT&T/GoPhone/Cricket branded XT1527 and the Verizon XT1528 cannot be bootloader unlocked. All the other variants can be unlocked via Moto.
>Can i put a global unsigned firmware to my Verizon MOTO E 2015 or can i only put my verizon's firmware on it
You can only put Verizon's firmware on it. If you try to flash another region's firmware, it won't validate (or worse, you'll get a perma. brick).
>Can i still use network on a global debloated firmware?
Doesn't apply to the Verizon model, but on bootloader-unlockable models, yes you can flash another region's firmware (don't flash the other region's radio/modem) or custom ROMs and the network works fine.

[Q] AT&T flash Malaysia ROM?

i bought myself an AT&T atrix previously. However, Lately my country Malaysia launched Moto Atrix. I hope to get a stock Malaysian Version rom.
is it possible?
thanks.
no not possible, an ATT Atrix cannot be flashed with a foreign build, It may be possible to flash the boot.img and system.img from a Malaysian rom to your atrix if u unlock the bootloader, however there will probably be incompatibilities and bugs if u do so. Best bet is to just unlock the bootloader and load kenneth's release of gingerbread 2.3.4
No idea why you'd want to flash a malaysian rom when ATT has BL unlock
ops.... My Mistake.
i tot it will be unlocked to all Atrix.
then i think i will start my journey with unlock the bootloader 1st.
thanks bro~

sprint lg v30 can i flash other carrier roms

When i had my galaxy s7 on sprint i was able to flash other carrier roms and unlocked version roms through samsung flash tool .Can this be done with lg phones on some kind of flash tool ? Sorry for question just was wondering i use to flash unlocked version on my sprint v30 to have a bloat free phone
So the question I have is this. If you are going to root and unlock the phone anyway, why not just remove the bloatware on the phone? Why concern yourself with other carriers?
If all the carriers are equal as far as communication frequencies are concerned, then unlocking the phone is all you really need. Once unlocked (you don't even need to root for this) you can go to any carrier.
I could do that without root. And flashing unlocked version rom has no carrier bloat. Also i said nothing about rooting

If memory serves and may not, so unless something has changed, flashing any function on an android phone requires root access.

"Unlock" has different meanings in a dev forum. You mean carrier unlocked, SIM card unlocked. Not bootloader unlock.
U.S. Cellular has SIM card unlocked, carrier unlocked version. The "open market" version which will be released in early December will be both carrier unlocked and will be eligible for official bootloader unlock.
You basically want to convert your phone to another phone? Yes, with Samsung phones you can do something like that with Odin. I have a friend who bought UK Galaxy S8 and flashed Australian ROM (with Samsung Pay) through Odin. He's not rooted and doesn't want root.
There is an LG flash tool, to flash KDZ and TOT firmware:

I know with the V20 H910, once Dirty Santa was patched in order for someone to root their phone, they had to basically flash their phone to an older Freedom ROM, which was not yet patched, then install some engineering mode module, and then run Dirty Santa.

So, some of what you're are asking can be done. But that ROM flashing was temporary and on some carriers you would lose signal. It was just a step to getting the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. Then the regular H910 ROM was reinstalled, and all signal functionally restored.

NOTE: this is a very simplified answer to the question. There are even "patched" versions of the tools to allow you to flash versions you aren't supposed to.

No, after the V20 LG has now added signature checks so you can't flash other variants to convert to another.
This was not widely known a few months ago. We thought that V20 trick would still work.
Too bad.

Sim-locked device recently unlock flash unlock version of firmware

Is that possible? I just recently unlocked the device from the carrier since it is out of contract now. The carrier that was lock is a little slow on updates but the unlock version is not. What's gonna happen if I flash the unlocked version on my device? Will it brick?

No, even if you could flash RetUS or other Retail software, the code you need to send to Motorola will still be the same.

Question flashing us firmware over tracfone one

Hi
Is it posiible to flash us international firmware in locked tracfone moto g play phone.If yes can this unlock the phone to accept others sim cards.
thank you
yahiadal
If you can unlock the OEM bootloader you should be able to install the RETUS stock rom image. You're more likely to have issues when flashing other phone carrier rom versions (or channels), and if the image you're installing has an older security patch than what's currently installed.
