About a month ago, I purchased a dual sim Moto Z variant that is brand new. I really like it, no issues with battery on oreo. Any tips on custom roms, TWRP, bootloader locking and relocking?

I just picked up a refurbished Moto E2 (Surnia) for ATT/Cricket, and I rather like it aside from the limited internal storage. Would love to flash a ROM that allows adoptable storage via SD card, but read some things about Nougat roms having issues with bluetooth and other little nagging bugs on some ported devices. Would love to stick with Marshmallow or anything stable enough for a trouble-free experience. I'm not necessarily looking for latest-and-greatest, if this phone shipped with Marshmallow, that'd be good enough for me honestly. Just need to move past Android 5.1 here.
Should I try to dig up an antiquated CM13 rom image? Seems like official links have been pulled in honor of lineage OS. Is LineageOS stable enough? Should I try that first?
Basically you have an AT&T device, which is unauthorized for bootloader unlocking, therefore flashing any custom ROMs is impossible. You're pretty much stuck with stock 5.1 firmware.
Oh well that just stinks. I already had a VZ Moto E2 that I've been using in GSM thanks to the tweaks for that, but was annoyed that I'm stuck on 5.1. Had an opportunity to grab the xt1527 for 99cents refurbished at Cricket, and figured I could replace it with this one and flash Marshmallow.
Fantastic. Now I have two Moto E2's with locked bootloaders.
Wasn't there an official 6.0 ROM that Moto released in markets other than US? Would I be able to flash that on my Xt1527 with a locked bootloader since it is an offically signed ROM, or will it reject?
Short answer, I presume it's not possible to flash the firmware released for a different phone variant, the phone's CID must correspond with its designated firmware.
I'm not 100% sure though, never had a phone with a carrier locked bootloader.
Planning to get a new moto z from a carrier since theybare having a sale and not charging anything for the phone. Fiancé is planning to switch to that carrier anyway since her workplace and is switching all phones to it.
I liked the idea of the moto mod and was thinking of getting the new turbopower pack by Motorola instead of the incipio one. I read that the turbopower requires the moto mod platform to be at 1.6 for it to work. I believe the nougat update brings the platform to 1.6 right?
At the same time, I want to use custom roms on this phone and I read that going to official stock nougat updates the bootloader and brings problems to custom roms. So my question is, can custom roms update the mod platform to the latest while keeping the bootloader on marshmallow? Can we flash nougat custom roms while on marshmallow bootloader with no problems?
If so, what are the best tool and steps?
The last Moto I fiddled with was the Z (XT1650-03), killed and revived the poor bastard several times, had lots of fun, but this One Zoom here is brand new, got it for the equivalent to US$ 325 in Brazil but don't want to brick it for not being prudent. I want to flash RETBR over AMXBR.
Hoping LineageOS comes out for this fella as well. Best camera setup since the Z.
TIA.
Er, by "operator" I meant "carrier"/"software channel".
The utils and procedures are the same since the Moto Z, figured that out myself. I'll install Magisk and try to change ro.carrier, then flash stock firmware back and re-lock the bootloader.
If someone knows that it won't work, letting me know is welcome.
Hey guys. so I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing, all that fun stuff. I just bought a Motorola Moto G Power and rooted it along with unlocking the bootloader. I was trying to see if I could download some custom ROMs on it, but wasn't sure if the ones I saw were for my device. are these ROMs able to work on any device or are they strictly to some?
Hello,
For now i own a Xiaomi 9t pro, i love notchless and dropless phones, I am interrested by the Flip, but do you think Asus will let them unlock bootloader, and do cutom Roms ?
I always use Roms like Resurrection Remix or other cool ones.
I never brought a phone what can't be unlocked
Thanks
Yep you can unlock easy with an app :
