(cricket) can anyone help me flash android 9 on moto g6 forge - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Has anyone been able to successfully unlock the bootloader on the Motorola moto g6 forge? I know it is a variant of the moto g6 play but for cricket wireless. My ex has the exact same phone and hers already has android 9 on it. Mine is still stuck on 8 and the security patch is from may 2018. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to unlock the bootloader see

Is the only sure way to know if it can be unlocked.

I don't know if vzw provides unlock codes.
But what I can say is warranty won't affect your chance of getting an unlock code.
You should check on moto website.
If you enter the imei number they'll tell you whether it can be unlocked

No. Moto will never give out the bootloader unlock code on the Non-Developer Edition XT1060 (likely due to their contract with Verizon), and Verizon does not give them out (for dev edition either).
And with the locked bootloader, once 4.4.4 is on your phone, you can't root it.

Its likely for an OLDER ROM.
There were about 3 or 4 different processes for X with a locked bootloader, but it was based on ROM version on the phone (i.e. 4.2.2 w/camera update, 4.4, 4.42). Once 4.4.4 is on there, all past vulnerabilities that were exploited on phones with locked bootloaders have been patched/closed, so if you have 4.4.4 on the phone and can't unlock the bootloader, you can't root.

The Australian version is XT1092 (the same as EU I think). I think you can unlock the bootloader and root it.
Just follow this guide, it will help you further. :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
Just to confirm for anyone else who is reading this thread and wondering,
the Australian Motox 2014 can be bootloader unlocked using the Motorola website.
I didn't end up getting one, I got a nexus 6, however my friend got a Moto X 2014 from The Good Guys,
and I went through the procedure on their phone and it will unlock.
Thanks to X96 for your advice in this thread too.

[Q] Need help with this riddle. Any advise would be appreciated.

Is the Moto XT1097 with the android version 5.1 able to he downgraded. Thanks for any kind of answers at all. Been looking at different sites and all kind of tutorials. Still haven't found any answer to my questions. Thanks in advanced.
Here is my riddle?
I got a moto XT1097 bought from at&T in America with the 5.1 android version. How do I root it? Is it worth to even downgrade to try and root it that way . I know for a fact the boot loader cannot be unlocked. OEM Is one that can not be unlocked. Thanks for any advice, help, anthing at all. Been wracking and researching away to root it and all of my roads lead to a headache.
The AT&T xt1097 cannot be unlocked. You can root with MOFO if an updated 5.1 image has been made for your device. Since your device cannot be unlocked, you cannot downgrade.

Thanks. I do not have the 5.1 image for my device at all. When I bought the phone it was updated on the spot. I know for sure right now these versions are not rootable. Guess I am going to have to wait or root. Thanks for the help.

Any recent progress x/ xt1097 AT&T?

I just acquired this phone, and imagine my surprise at finding that if you have the AT&T version with the August 2016 security update, you're basically screwed. Just wondering if there's been any recent success with this. I've been doing a lot of reading, but it seems there's been nothing new posted about it for a while. Curious as to whether anyone's been working on this issue or if it's a lost cause. I've tried the Kingroot methods and whatnot, nothing seems to work, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks.
Are you from the UK?

I am not.
France?
The reason i am asking is i see a lot of new XT1097's on eBay in the UK. I think these can upgrade to MM but i think the bootloader is locked. I really want a Moto X 2nd gen but if i cannot unlock the bootloader without paying $25 then I'm out.
No. I'm in the US. The issue is that AT&T branded 1097's are unable to have the bootloader unlocked without being rooted, and there is currently no working root method if you have accepted the most recent security updates.
Does anyone know if the EU and South American XT1097's than have been updated to MM have an unlocked bootloader?

The AT&T XT1097 is the only remaining edition which does not qualify for bootloader unlocking, and it has no MM update.
So if these XT1097's have been updated to MM, then they can't be the AT&T edition, and they must be unlockable through the official Motorola procedure.

Moto E5 Go XT1921-8 Questions

one of the main issues I seem to be having is that the phone was obtained through [email protected], but the device seems to be account locked, i've tried a few tutorial vids i've found that supposedly work with other e5 devices, but unfortunately with this device it keeps asking for the original owner info, regardless of it recognizing a new account being added, is there something here that i'm missing?
another issue I seem to be having, is the fact that I can't seem to find any official flash/roms for this device, nor anything on rooting/TWRP Recovery for this specific device either.
if anyone can please offer some help or point me in the right direction, I would be highly appreciative!
Thank you

Verizon branded motos generally cannot be rooted nor bootloader unlocked.
But you can try to unlock the bootloader, not very likely though.

Yes!!! Thank you sd_shadow! you're an amazing person, and your posts have always been helpful through the years!
that FRP bypass did the trick! Thank you thank you thank you!
I've currently got the Verizon moto e2 as well since it came out, and i've seen how no one can get the bootloader unlocked nor get anything outside of a temporary root working on it, and it's been frustrating me for years, the same as everyone else who has one; (finally opted to get the Boost Mobile variant of the e2, and was so happy I could get the bootloader unlocked & rooted), I'm just kinda disheartened that at least the Verizon Prepaid devices seem to be locked down so tightly, especially since they seem to be decent budget phones.

I would say no, it's a Verizon model and likely locked to Verizon.

Sorry, normally I would suggest flashing the radio.img from another ro.carrier like RetEU or just Retail.
But there are the only USA ro.carrier variants available for rjames
You could try the radio from one of the other similar devices like ahannah, Nora, pettyl
Download the firmware and flash this
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
That may fix it, it may not.
I want to hear the answers of people who have such a device. a banal radio firmware will not help anything.
