So I moved my Family to T-Mo and bought 2 Nexus 5's and 2 Moto G's!

I will NEVER-EVER go back to Verizon... EVER!

They are the most archaic, backward and Xpensive carrier in North America

Pleas do yourself a favor and leave that - HORRIBLE effin COMPANY

P.S. I REPEAT - I will NEVER-EVER go back to Verizon... EVER

This really is not the place for carrier hate.

I weighed all my options and VZW won out.

Many of us purchased the verizon Moto G, and are looking forward to the rooting / unlocking .. etc.

You have to activate it and get a phone number to get past that screen. You dont have to pay anything, just select "pay later" both time it asks you. It'll give you a number and then you can connect to wifi to do the rest of the steps.

Altering the setup app in any way thereafter reboots the phone, so you'll always have the activate app in your drawer. Thanks, Verizon.

Great news: you don't even have to do that! Just check out this guy's post/video.

Is there any way to get the SPC or root the Verizon version of Moto G?

XT1028

First time here on XDA. Us Verizon customers finally have received the 4.4.2 kitkat update! How can we find some way to unlock the bootloader and also achieve root? I really hope that all of us bought the phone don't get screwed, If we find out that unlocking the bootloader and root are impossible, I bet all of us will be kicking our self in the gonads and should have just bought the GSM model. Please someone help. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if the Verizon version of the Moto G can be easily unlocked and rooted like the GSM version? Knowing Verizon's track record with locked down devices I wouldn't be surprised if it can't be unlocked. I'm thinking about buying one as a wifi/media device for my car, but I'd also like to play around with dev on it so a non-unlockable bootloader would be a deal breaker.

So back to the original question on this thread..... has anyone been able to unlock/root the XT1028 variant of this phone yet? I see a lot of info on the other versions like the GSM models and the Google versions, but not the Verizon version. Do the same methods work for all, maybe I am just being a little too cautious????

I was upgraded to Kit Kat last night. Seems fine, but I would still love to get some of the bloatware removed etc. Only 8gb on the XT1028, so every little bit helps. Thankfully OTG works so far. Kit Kat seems to allow R/W access when I only had R access with Jellybean.

I should be getting my Verizon Moto G today, so I'm very interested in any news on this front. I'm wondering if after the 6 months locked in with Verizon they'll allow unlock. After all, after the 6 months are up, Verizon will supposedly free the imei to be used with other services, like Page Plus. One can only hope, right?

I got the US CDMA version for BoostMobile & had it unlocked 'n rooted w/in minutes of unboxing yesterday.

You sure you're entering the serial # correctly?
(I didn't take out all of the spaces the first time and got denied, then fixed it & unlocked)

Good luck!

so you are saying you unlocked the bootloader on the boost mobile version, which is a CDMA phone? And it worked?

I have the boost version (cdma) and unlocking the bootloader through Motorola site worked just fine.

Thank you

I am sad. Verizon Moto G is $99, while unlocked is $179.99

Pretty big difference, Amazon even had a flash sale On January 15th (MY BIRTHDAY!) where it was $79.99!!!

To think it has almost identical specs to the Moto X which is $399

But no root as of yet, huh?

LollyPoop · Mar 28, 2014

already successful?
