Root for e5 cruise? (Cricket Variant) - Moto E5 Questions & Answers

Do any of the root methods work for this variant? Don't want to mess anything up without confirmation from someone who has the same device and has rooted it successfully.

If you find 1 I'd sure like to get ahold of it

Ya same here I've done everything and just caint get it. Hopefully when I get my free "unlock" from Cricket next month I'll have an update...

Has anyone tried unlocking the bootloader? That's the beginning step if I'm not mistaken and out of practice..

Ya I should be able to get them to unlock in December. You have to be a customer for 6 months with them before they will unlock it

Im not sure what you guys are talking about but its well known the e5 cruise by cricket is on the unlockable bootloader list by motorola so theres no way to flash a nonstock recovery, root, or flash a custom rom as of yet. And its unlikely it will ever.

AT&T Bootloader Unlock?

I was searching for AT&T roms, and came across this website http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_xt1058. It looks like it tells you how to unlock the bootloader for AT&T and non us GSM phones. Has anyone tried this. Is this how to unlock the bootloader on the att moto x so we can install roms. I figured I'd ask before I brick my phone trying it.
Thanks

Unless you have the at&t developer edition you can not unlock your bootloader. You must go to the Motorola bootloader unlocking website to get a unlocking code

Crap, don't have the developer edition. Oh well. I'm glad I asked first. Thanks.

SIM unlocking?

Anyone else having problems SIM unlocking their phones? I'm not using the T-Mobile unlock app rather my unlock code and getting into the settings through the dialer
No way to do it yet

What did you put in dialer to be able to input an unlock code?
Bump.
I'm having this issue too.
Disabled the unlocking app, and have no where to enter the unlock code.
Whenever I reboot, with the foreign sim, it says: This device is eligible for auto unlocking through the sim unlocker app.
I hit close and have no where to enter a code.

With an active T-Mobile sim inserted, I was able to do this:
#7465625*638*#
It asked for unlock code.
It said accepted.
Rebooted with new AT&T SIM, still asks for network unlock.
I wanna unlock the device to use here in Brazil with brazilian carrier sim card. Sugestions? I have a G925T.
I already bought a unlock code on eBay, just waiting for the code to test it.

That's a good idea I think I am gonna do that now.
BTW if I do this, then we find out if we can flash international firmwares on the G920t
EDIT: Didn't work failed
I got the unlock code from a seller on eBay. Was $25

This whole issue started when tmobile started testing the Samsung Galaxy Avant (SM-G386T). I had bough 13 of these phones (I'm a reseller) but unlock code did not work. But this same phone was released on Metro PCS that works on Tmobile networks. The model numbers was same with Tmobile except the roms was different. What i had did was flashed the Metro PCS roms entered the unlocked codes from 3rd party (It worked)
Now with the S6 and S6 edge, these phones are not yet released on Metro PCS and i am not sure they will even release them. But if they do i think it will be good to try. I am not sure if the international Roms will work since as there might be a slight hardware difference.

I tried that but it will not accept the code because of that unlock app. Do you have a link to the Metro S6 rom you flashed? Please can you share? I have looked on sammobile but could not find any s6 rom on there just yet.:cyclops:

[Q] Where to buy

Ok,
Ive gone the distance to find this simple answer and its just not finding me.
I have a Moto X 2013 Dev Edition and want to buy the unlocked Pure Edition Moto X 2014 2nd Generation for use on Verizon. Unlike when I purchased my 1st Gen Dev Edition from the developer section of the Motorola website, I cant find where the hell to buy the actual phone!!! A link would be nice.
I can find it on Swappa and on eBay but not from Motorola.
What the hell am I missing?
Thanks

There is no Verizon Pure Edition. You cannot unlock the bootloader of any MX14 that will run on Verizon. Instead, we use MoFo to root the XT1096.

You cannot find a Pure Edition MX14 for Verizon on swappa or ebay b/c none exists.
The MX14 PE is XT1095 and it only has GSM radios, no CDMA radios so it won't work on Verizon.

To clarify:
A Pure Edition does exist and can be purchased through Motorola but not for use on Verizon. If this is true I still haven't come across a link to purchase.
If I want to purchase a 2nd Gen Moto X and have bootloader unlocked what are my options?

You have to make it on motomaker like all of the other MX14. Design your device, then select Unlocked SIM.

Pure Edition. It doesn't work on Verizon though.
@JulesJam
You the man, thanks for the clarification. My final question: as of now, if I were to go to Verizon and purchase MX14 at no contract price, would I be able to root and unlock bootloader?

As I stated above, you cannot unlock the bootloader of any MX14 that will run on Verizon. Instead, we use MoFo to root the XT1096.

MoFo works fine. We can debloat, use Xposed, Adaway, Busy Box, SQLite and anything else people want to bake into the image. You can run a custom ROM, you just have to make it yourself.
The only thing we can't do is run a custom kernel or recovery.

De-Brand a G977P, Sprint S10 5G?

Just got the phone, unlocked it, works fine on T-Mobile, but I was wondering if we can debrand this or rebrand to another carrier like most G9xxU phones out there. I know this is a P and probably isn't simple, but has anyone tried yet?

what csc are available on your device/firmware? for example my N976V has VZW and GCF.. i switched to gcf and its basically unbranded.. at least in my case..
problem with the carrier specific models they might have slightly dif capabilities such as network so putting csc on that doesnt go with the device might not work right

so u took full tmo firmware for a g975u and flashed it to g977p without unlocking the bl or anything?
can u take a pic of ur about phone and software info and post it so i can see what its reading as?
this is very interesting since it would mean that the regular U versions are signed with same keys as the 5g sprint version which is unlockable.
also, did u flash everything? BL AP CP CSC etc?
I flashed the G977tuvs2ash_8_tmb_[www.unlockguy.ca]. I have since paid my sprint bill, refreshed the sprint firmware, and it is good as new, with the OEM unlock button now showing up. You want me to try it again without enabling oem unlock and see what happens?

Well it has only just been released, and verizon is notorious for their security
So can someone summarize what can be bootloader unlocked? Not sure why there is no thread dedicated for this, maybe it wouldn't be asked 1,000 times over and over.
SM-G977P: Sprint 5G, can be bootloader unlocked like Exynos and other Android phones easily and rooted.
SM-G977T: TMobile 5G....????
SM-G977U: Verizon 5G, not unlockable or flashable?
SM-G977N (Exynos): ?
