    Thx! And, yeah, I did a quick look at the Amazon version ... and ran the opposite direction. ;)

    Thanks! Appreciate this info ... its something I used to check into but being so rusty on stock phones, didn't even think about the various bands. Glad to have those links!

    Thread Unlocked Moto G6 on Verizon

    Yes, I searched. And yes, I realize this may be a trivial question. But I've done no tinkering on my past 2 phones so real rusty on anything other than VZW purchased phones. First, I live in a VZW-only area, so different carriers is not an option. And its time for me to do a phone upgrade...

    I don't want to get this thread off-topic ... but is there a good 'guide' as to when to mount which when doing what in recovery? Generally I've never mounted anything in recovery and never had an issue ... except found the Razr M finicky on that point.

    I think that sums it up best. Right now Googorola is a mess, at least in my view. They hugely botched up the first sale, crashing their website.

    Apex Launcher is "4.0+" compatible so in theory should not cause a crash/bootloop issue. When I have a whole lot more time to kill, might try this again later.

    Well ... that didn't go so good. Though I could downgrade to 4.2.2, I bootlooped unless doing data wipe. After that, booted up alright and started to selectively restore a few things. However, when restoring Apex launcher ... crashed and went into bootloop. So ... fastboot files back to 4.2.2...

    I followed your input, quasi-updating to 4.4.2 flashing just the portions you suggested. From what I've seen so far, wasn't impressed with 4.4 battery life (compared to 4.2.2). And I'm not seeing any improvement on 4.4.2 after several days ... getting about the same battery life while using...

    In other words, when you flashed back to 4.4 (from 4.4.2), you didn't flash these portions of the 4.4 fxz: fastboot flash partition gpt.bin fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img This may not be relevant, but here's what I'm wondering. I'm still on 4.4 with update files frozen via TiBu...
