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.

I know how Verizon is with crippling their phones so even if you unlock it or purchase a phone with another carrier you can't change networks.
Any chance the international or Unlocked LG G3 will work on Verizon? hacks or mods to get it to work?

It might work on LTE but I don't think the international models have CDMA radios... I could be wrong but if that's the case, you wouldn't be able to make voice calls until VoLTE rolls out.
Hi, this question may have been asked but how do I unlock a Verizon LG G3 to be able to use it on any carrier internationally?
I have heard of sites such as unlocklocks.com or similar, but can those sites be trusted, and if so is there a preferred site to use?
Once the phone is unlocked, do I just purchase a SIM card at the country I am visiting an purchase a temporary voice/data plan?
In my case I would like to know if the Verizon LG G3 smartphone would work with a voice and data plan in Colombia - how could I find out if this will work?
A quick search I did for network technology landed me to these pages:
gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=COLOMBIA
phonearena.com/phones/LG-G3_id8347
Thanks in advance!
Its not locked.
Just buy a sim and install it with APN settings and so forth. It may not support 4g in Columbia, but not because it is locked, because it isn't vendor locked at all.
Saw this and figured I post in here instead of starting a new thread. Will I have any problems being rooted or should I return back to stock?

No, but if you want to use LTE in Columbia you might need to revert to an earlier radio version than the v23c radio that Verizon built for Lollipop 5.0.1. Also, in Columbia the carriers there might use band3 for LTE as is common outside the USA.

Verizon G3 Sucefully Working on LTE BAND 3

From what I saw they use 1700mhz band 4. Might just revert to a basic stock rooted.
Hi, I'm planning to buy a V10 VZW to use it out of USA. So the question is if it will work GSM internationally. I've read that VZW phones are globally unlocked. I know the setting to "global" but I dunno if it will work. Anyone who use a VZW v 10 out of USA without having to call to unlock it?
Hello! I use LG V10 verizon in Europe and it works just fine, as it is supposed to work! No need for any unlock or whatsoever.

Thanks that the info I wanted to know. ??
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.
Hello all. I have an LG V30 unlocked from AT&T. I am currently in the market for some different phone service. I was looking to switch to T-Mobile. However, when I went to their BYOD Check Compatibility page and typed in my IMEI, it said my device was not compatible. Will I still be able to use T-Mobile, just miss out on a few features, or is it no use to try and get T-Mobile service? I have checked that my phone supports all of T-Mobile's bands save for band 71. I figured all I needed was a GSM device and a new SIM card. Am I unable to switch to T-Mobile, can I switch with limited features, or does it operate at full support on T-Mobile, just an error with the website? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your AT&T H931 phone is actually carrier unlocked, it will work with U.S. T-Mobile.

Thank you for your quick response. I will probably see if I can switch to T-Mobile now. I am still curious though. Why would T-mobile still register my device incompatible? Is it an error with my IMEI or the unlock? Is it something on T-Mobile's end?

AT&T H931 is normally carrier locked to AT&T. So, normally it won't work on any SIM card not affiliated with AT&T. T-Mobile knows that. However, you say it's now carrier unlocked. But there's no way for them to know that, just by the IMEI.

That makes more sense now. I can confirm that my phone is unlocked because I have actually used it with T-Mobile MVNOs in the past. I just didn't know if a full blown T-Mobile card would work in it, being scared of the website check and all. You've helped me to clear all this up and I can't thank you enough.
