No, mine started as Android 11 but Google recently release an Android 12 update for the XT2163-4. ELLIS_T_S3RH32.20_42_10_2_3_subsidy_TMO_UNI_RSU_QCOM_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml is the latest T-Mobile rom released by Google. Check out the site below to download the official ROM.

I'm going to flash your ROM and see what it changes. I've noticed that even though my ROM is T-Mobile, there are Boost, Verizon and Sprint apps that aren't enabled

Would love some help on this. I have my stock firmware and boot.img ready for my model (not on hand right now, but it's a US ATT moto g pure,) but am unable to get past the bootloader. When I got the phone, OEM unlocking was greyed out in the settings, but after about 2 days that suddenly changed. I was able to enable it, and it seemed to take. Going to the official Moto website for unlock said my device wasn't eligible. I have mtkclient set up, and I can get into recovery and fastboot just fine, but for the life of me, trying every button combination for about an hour couldn't get it to go. I also tried going straight for the unlock command in fastboot, but that didn't work either. Any advice? Maybe I still managed to time it wrong. If I am holding both volume buttons, or any combination that includes the lower volume button, it goes straight to recovery

To get into fastboot, power of the G Pure then hold vol - & power. vol + goes into a bootleg recovery but selecting it from the fastboot gui goes into a legit recovery. As for the OEM unlock, if it greys out just go into "About Phone" and tap "Update Carrier Configuration". Once all of that is done, type: fastboot oem unlock <your device key from Motorola>
Before I got my code I tried "fastboot oem unlock" without the code and my device displayed the unlock screen but without the key it doesn't really unlock it.
Now to answer your question:
I haven't found the combination to register the G Pure on MTK Client. Usually you'd hold vol - & vol + while connecting the USB but so far no luck on that. I'll investigate the existence of a bootloader device ID keygen to help you out, so give me a day to post my findings.
I also would like to know what your specs are as well as your unlock data and bootloader version (MBM) so that I can narrow my search.
My bootloader (TMO) is unlocked and my MBM is:

MBM-2.1-ellis_t-806030bb55-221125

If you have the same version that means ATT isn't authorizing Motorola to fulfill your key request, which means your bootloader CAN be unlocked.
If necessary, you might have to take this route:

Flashing a new bootloader

Is it possible to re-flash the stock bootloader? I believe mine is corrupt somehow. It's a bit hard to explain how it's acting without actually seeing it, but it acts sporadic and barely works half the time. For example I can't reboot into the...

Ok, done a little digging and found out that MTK client won't register the G Pure unless you use the test points. The only way to do that is to open the device and I don't think that's a viable option. You may have to change the bootloader. The good news with that is your bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked to flash oem signed images. I'll keep you up to date on what I find

Much appreciated effort! I'll read into what goes into changing bootloaders. I haven't dealt with android systems in a while, but always fun to mess around with. As far as test points would be concerned, would that be trying to ground some memory out? Because I do have an electronics workbench, that isn't out of the question. I will get you the unlock data and mbm tonight when I get back. I assume that info would be listed on the recovery screen?

Thanks for the help so far. If it is easier to dm than post, please feel free to message me there

Did anyone figure this out? I am currently trying to root my moto g pure xt2163-1with cricket. All the stock roms I have found online have been for other carriers. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am on cricket, but using a xt2163-6. I haven't gotten it rooted, and I put my search on pause to let the unlock just naturally go, as I have a few more important things to deal with rn. But if you need your stock rom, the Motorola RSA (rescue and smart assistant tool) will 100% let you get your stock rom from manufacturer

I have a Moto G Pure(XT 2163DL) network locked to Tracfone. Will rooting the phone and installing the stock ROM from here help unlock the SIM? Thanks.

Hi guys I'm in the same boat, I have a TracFone Moto G Pure I had TracFone send me the carrier unlock so that parts done, what else should I and can I do to this phone please any help is appreciated.
I personally think it's a bit bloated and would like to remove those apps, also would like to remove the TracFone boot images, the phone is on Android 12, basically I'd like the phone to be as if I purchased it directly from Motorola minus the preinstalled Google apps.

 

[cagedbadger]

I have the XT2163-6 build number S3RHS32.20-42-10-3 that came with the option to allow oem unlock clickable. I don't have access to a PC but was able to get it to fastboot mode with Bugjaeger. It took the fastboot oem unlock command, wiped it with no problems but the bootloader doesn't seem to really be unlocked. In the process I stupidly left the patched magisk boot image on the device instead of the sd card. Then I couldn't get magisk to flash the boot image again and the phone updated to Android 12. After changing almost every app permission on the device I was able to get magisk to finally flash the boot image again and now it allows me to make either magisk or termux the debugging app. I'm attaching the magisk log in hopes that someone can help me because I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing and bricking my phone would be extremely inconvenient at the moment but I really want the device rooted for many reasons. I have the entire firmware but can't get mtkclient to work on the other moto so termux and Bugjaeger are all I have to work with.

you need to go to the moto site and request a bl unlock key code, no way around that

Is it possible to cross-flash US/CA retail firmwares on a cricket phone, or no?

 

[luridphantom]

that doesn't do anything except enable you to get the unlock code

Can you not cross-flash firmwares with the LMSA rescue tool?
