Hello - I have a Moto E4 Sprint variation XT1766. I'm looking to network/sim unlock somehow to use with Verizon. Are there any options out there? I read somewhere that maybe flashing a custom rom would allow all domestic services to be used. If so, is there a stock-ish firmware with this allowed, or what is the closest to stock firmware that would allow me to do this? My phone is bootloader unlocked and rooted.

Also, I see websites selling services to unlock remotely. I found one that will do it for $9 and "permanently" unlock it even after reset/updates. Thoughts?

Thanks!

You can't do it with a custom ROM anymore. They locked it.
The official way is to satisfy the carriers terms for unlock. For example, if it's a boost device, I think you have to use it on their network for 60 days (might be a different number of days now) and then simply request it unlocked. The same for Sprint. It should be that way for all xt1766 carriers. They have unlock it if you satisfy their criteria.
I have never used any of those unlock services so I can't say anything useful about them.
