I've been searching the web for weeks and found nothing about this model of the Moto X Play, only found that is part of the Verizon RLA program. Only found Stock Rom in a Chinese site that takes ages to download nothing else.
Anyways if anyone know more about this model of Moto X Play XT1564 Please post here.

In US is called like that but in Puerto Rico is Moto X Play (LRA) Carriers Open Mobile (CDMA) y Claro PR (GSM) both comes Factory Unblocked.

Oh the Droid Maxx 2 is listed as an XT1565 I believe.
I did some searching and I think I found the same post as you. I would honestly try to get an unlock code the normal way from Motorola and see if its actually able to be unlocked, you may be surprised. If you get the code, you can try flashing the TWRP recovery we have for the Lux phones.
If you're brave enough anyway. If that worked, I'd attempt a nandroid backup for safety then try flashing some roms or just rooting it.
If I had the phone personally, I'd probably attempt it. Hopefully you can get the original firmware though, but you may be able to convert it to an XT1563 single sim.
I'm in the same situation, I got Moto X Play from Open Mobile. The same happened with my last phone, a GS 4 mini I had with Open as well so yea, though luck with our LRA version phones :S.
Could any of you guys post a link to that chinese site? At least having a copy of the original ROM helps.
I have the stock firmware 5.1.1 I will upload it to mega for others to download faster. It took me 7 hours to download that file from the Chinese site. Uploading to mega. I'll post here when finished.
Edit: Upload done here's the link.

Yes I unlocked the bootloader flashed TWRP then flashed crDroid ROM all good. Today I restored with the stock file linked, all good. I'm working on an updated tool auto batch/exe of my last tool for the Moto X 2014 to automate the process for Moto X Play 2015.

I'm dying to know any of these Moto X Play ROMs actually work on a CDMA network (i.e. Verizon). Not to mention if the TWRP and rooting instructions work for them as well.

There's only one way of finding out by flashing a Rom, I would suggest starting with Tesla Rom as it has multiple setting under data for both GSM and CDMA.

Well if you're on verizon, you'll be waiting awhile but always be cautious, moto phones are prone to hard bricks when flashing bootloaders, more than a few dozen folks hard brick the original moto x from 2013.

I hear you on being cautious. And for MM, this phone isn't supported by Verizon, when I logged in to it, Google thought is was Maxx 2 and so does my Verizon account, but it is a Play for sure. So weird.

Verizon version of the moto x play is called the droid maxx 2, count your blessings because verizon doesn't allow their bootloaders to be unlocked on retail phones. You have to buy a developer edition phone out right on verizon

They can't officially release it, just like they don't officially release any beyond the Dev Editions (which happen to also work on the "retail" versions of those phones).
It getting "leaked" or "found some place" which would later get posted to -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 is another story, but we have to be patient. As soon as they find it, I'm sure it will be posted. Just have to wait for them to get their hands on it.
I ask him about why are others software images can be found,but not receive any reply.

You completely missed what I said. I said that Moto has released images for the Developer X's..
Technically speaking, you did not get the "T-Mobile Retail X Firmware" from Moto. Their web site clearly says you are requesting "MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition: KK-4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25_MR3 (Retail)"
It just so happens that the GSM Developer X and "T-Mobile" or "GSM Unlocked" versions of the X are all XT1053 and use the exact same rom. Just like the Developer Edition X for Verizon and Retail/MotoMaker X for Verizon are both XT1060 and use the same rom.
So yeah, moto has released the Developer Edition roms by request at -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images But they have not made the roms available for the "Carrier Branded" Moto X's, like the XT1058 from ATT, or the XT1056 from Sprint, or the XT1058 from Rogers, or the XT1055 from US Cellular, etc..
And Moto does not own or operate http://sbf.droid-developers.org

Under the Development thread there is a Mac Toolkit. The guy who made it isn't supporting it anymore, but it includes mfastboot. You can manually flash the files with it. I haven't searched for the exact commands, but they should be easily procurable via a quick search.

There is a Mac version of Fastboot... but I'm not sure what all is involved to use it. (drivers or anything else??) -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/Mfastboot-4.4.zip To flash this way, you'll want to unzip the SBF file, open the included .XML file, and convert the operations to fastboot commands.
For example, in another thread of someone trying to flash a Claro 4.4.2 rom, when we opened the XML we came up with -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52051769&postcount=18

I don't think so.
The only difference between the developer models and the MotoMaker/Retail X for Verizon and ATT is the unlocked vs locked bootloader.
As far as using things like RSDLite and mfastboot, as long as you are flashing a ROM that is digitally signed by Moto, you should be able to do the same things.
Now, any rooting, flashing custom recovery or custom rom, etc wont work. But RSDlite or mFastboot to flash a Moto Rom will.

HuH? How does having the ATT 4.4.2 SBF help/allow you to root?
ATT has a locked bootloader, and 4.4.2 breaks/plugs the exploits used by SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo. So flash this and you can't root or disable write protection.

I'm on Verizon. I used Safestrap and the Safestrap stock-rooted ROM over on XDA to retain root. It has literally no downsides to me. Once the SBF was made available for AT&T, someone on Rootzwiki said they would put together an AT&T version of it. Hence, I can root her phone. She's still on 4.4.

XT1096 Marshmallow ?
Wondering if any devs will port Marshmallow to our VZW model ? Is it possible to fastboot flash all files except modems from another MM firmware like the XT1092 orXT1097 ?

Only if you don't use Verizon service. When you flash the files from xt1092, xt1097, or xt1095 it loses CDMA, which means it won't work with Verizon's service. But if you don't use Verizon, then yes that will work fine, just don't flash the radio files and you can have marshmallow on the xt1096.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I am on verizon and was hoping that just leaving out the radio files would work to get MM on the phone. I was just assuming that if CDMA was working on the CM roms that it would be possible for it to work on a MM rom also.
Guess I will be satisfied with having u/l bootloader, root, and TWRP installed which is way more than I ever thought would happen to this phone so its all GOOD !

Completely stock XT1096 (Verizon): Device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking..
Anyone have any idea why I am receiving a "bootloader cannot be unlocked" message ("Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking") on the Motorola site. I have an XT1096. I previously had the same model and was able to successfully unlock. Had to replace phone with the same model from Asurion and am now receiving this message when I attempt to unlock. I have run the process several times and have even used the Data Scrub Tool to ensure that my unlock codes are formatted properly. No luck...
Thanks

At least we' re doing something,no matter what' s a result.
Verizon isn't going to let Motorola bl unlock these phones until they stop selling them like the X
But there is a new unlock exploit coming very soon that *will* work on the 8960/pro, so most of us will at least get 5.1 via cyanogenmod, it should breathe new life into these devices for at least the rest of 2016, maybe longer.
Maybe there is a chance to even get 6 via cyanogenmod eventually if the drivers can be ported from 5.1 ? Or is that an unrealistic expectation?
Let's hope this new 8960/ pro exploit is real for the sake of those who have not had the pleasure of running LP and MM on their machines. My MAXX and OG Moto X have been on LP for over a year now and it ran much better than KK other than the cell standby bug. I just flashed CM13 on this phone and it is even better. Testing out doze now, seems to be pretty good on the battery. This is a great phone, if it is bootloader unlocked!

root exists on the (verizon) mini/maxx/ultra (same phone internals) because of work done by crashxxl to bypass the bootloader and write over the rom via qload driver mode - basically he writes the changes needed for root and SU
I believe he figured it out by studying the developer edition of the device which is bl unlocked
it works quite well, we have root and xposed but wp=1 of course
laginimaineb's next announcement will open the device for everyone but I don't think he is releasing a proof of concept, at least not for this phone model, so if you are willing, we could probably really use your help when that happens
I'd be happy to send you a mini (to keep) if that will help motivate you

SU4 hasn't been available for a year now, maybe longer and you cannot downgrade these phones
verizon now ships all of them with SU6, so no sunshine, and verizon refuses to let motorola unlock the bootloader like they did with the X
Hello everyone just got the new g4 play phone. Seems nice so far. Just wondering about root and firmware? Do any of the file factory images work? Also is root working? Thanks in advance!

Depends on how you purchased it. If it's from Amazon with ads enabled, you're out of luck for the time being until one of the temp root methods find an exploit for the phone.
If you bought the normal version, then a TWRP version that works for your phone is in the works, and SuperSU works on pretty much any device with a custom bootloader because it's just sticking a su binary on the system partition and installing an app. Custom roms will be forthcoming when more of the developing-inclined members get their bootloaders unlocked lol

Oh cool mine is the normal version! I also noticed the unlock setting in settings as well. So at this point twrp is a no go?

That's excellent news! I'm very close to talking moto into giving me a bootloader unlock despite having the Amazon ads. I basically complained that they are misleading people with the name "play" and advertising a pure Android experience making it seem like a true play edition phone, so knowing that I'll be able to root without compiling my own TWRP myself is great news.

Yes I followed squids twrp post and the twrp fix and works great. Now I may play with the filefactory images and see if one works with this variant. I'm sure a bell specific variant will come soon.
I've been having trouble activating my device with Boost since flashing custom ROMs. I'd like to temporarily flash the Stock image, then return to a custom ROM. Specifically the stock image here - firmware.center/ firmware/Motorola/ Moto%20E4/Stock/XT1766/ . I found one already that was recently made in another thread, but TWRP refuses saying my device is perry not sperry. Which is fine, as I think it's for the Sprint-specific variant anyway. So if we can avoid that error somehow, awesome (as I see the ROM name has "sperry" in the title). But yes, I'm certain my phone and that model are the same.
Before anyone says "Why didn't you-", I tried RSDLite and it doesn't recognize the device no matter the USB slot or cable. I tried fastboot, but I get "Not enough space" errors on the phone and FAIL's in the prompt. So I've come to the conclusion that the easiest way would be a TWRP ROM. And yeah, I feel dumb already for forgetting to activate the SIM before flashing.
Anyway, I hate being long-winded. I just want to verify that I've done everything I can on my end before anyone makes it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi
You Can Flash XT1766_SPERRY_SPRINT_7.1.1_NCQ26.69-56_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
with the utility that was made by rootjunky you can convert the servicefile.xml to a batch service.bat file , you need this RSD_Lite_Motorola_XML_To_Batch_Script.zip
but you have to know that you will loose the ability to add new apn and htospot wont work anymore with this upgrade , and its the only one for the phone around . look to my thread here in the same section GUIDES where is posted this thread look for "How To Get Working Apn + Hotspot After Upgrade to NCQ26.69-56 With SPerry XT1766".
extract the firmware ZIP file , in the same dir put adb fastboot plataform-tools lite and the RDS_lite Xml To Batch script , convert the servicefile.xml and run servicefile.bat with the phone on fastboot bootloader mode connected to computer with windows 10 and run servicefile.bat wait to flash and that is.
Keep it simple...
Just flash stock firmware with RSDLite or fastboot.

Oops... Just finished reading the full OP.
Try flashing the US Retail version and see what happens.
Side Note: If you flashed a custom ROM before activating the device, it will cause issues. I did the same with a 2013 Moto G and I could never activate it with Boost, the signal read 'Chameleon', could never get it fixed. I had to buy a new phone.
I just did a thread yesterday with ROMs for all the E4 Plus models, including a TWRP flashable OTA for Boost. I'm working on the E4 now. I'll post the Boost ones first shortly.

Can someone make trwp flashable zip link is dead
I'm compiling a TWRP flashable stock Android 7.1.1 ROM for the Virgin Mobile xt1766 variant (Build No. NCQ26.69-56). It should also work on the Boost & Sprint variants. It will be pure stock with the exception of dm-verity and forced encryption, both of which will be disabled.

Right on dude. Virgin Mobile here
From all my past experiences with the Moto E series of smartphones, the past few years at least, the Sprint, Boost Mobile & Virgin Mobile variants all use the same stock Android build. The carrier specific apps, unique to each provider, are typically downloaded at the time of activation. This was especially true with the Moto E LTE Surnia and the Moto G3 Osprey. If there are any significant differences with the xt1766, someone please let me know. For now I'm assuming the same stock Android 7.1.1 ROM will work for Sprint, Virgin & Boost.

Your only chance (a very slight chance) would be to go here: https://www.xda-developers.com/contact/ and contact the web master. If your account was deleted, they might not be able to help you. If it was temporarily closed, you might get lucky. It's pretty much up to Mike Channon I believe, he's the man in charge.
Edit: and don't forget to hit the thanks button when someone helps you.

No you didn't didn't step on my toes. I'm very glad you made some stock ROMs available for the xt1766. That has me started on another project, which is using the telephony configurations from the stock firmware to create an Aroma installer which will fix 4G/LTE data connectivity on the xt1766 on LineageOS & other custom ROMs. Data connectivity appears to be a huge problem on the Sprint, Boost & Virgin Mobile variants when running custom ROMs. Thank you for your work & contributions.

Hello old friend. Good to see you here too. The Perry has been my latest interest. Yes, I'll definitely be in touch. I could use a little of your feedback on LTE data connectivity on the xt1766 Sprint compatible Perry.
