Regional/carrier/seller restriction - who knows.
Bottom line: if Moto's eligibility check comes back negative you are done. There are no workarounds TMK.
I have seen random posts indicating issues unlocking the xt1602 variant. Only one claiming success.
Might be able to root it; there's a thread discussing an exotic method that most never seem to get through.

I've the same variant, XT1602 Indian version. And i unlocked its bootloader without any problem. Don't know why it is considering your device as ineligible.

From my experience, Moto's website is picky. Make sure there are no spaces in the string you put in. Using the 'scrub tool' provided on the same page is usually a good idea if you're not sure. Sometimes a space can get trapped at the beginning and you can't see it.
Others have tethered a root by using TWRP and flashing that way. I'm still learning how this works and will attempt when I get an XT1609 prepaid Verizon variant.

Try it and find out. No harm can come from the attempt. What worked yesterday may not be applicable today; asking the community yields little relevant information if what you claim is true.

SM-T827R (US Cellular) flashed with T827V (Verizon Oreo) - Working no issues

I purchased a US Cellular branded Tab S3 to use on AT&T when I found out they sell them unlocked. I also recently wanted Oreo on it and after some digging found US Cellular still hasn't released an update but there was one from Turkey and one from VzW. I tried to find a concrete yes/no if I can flash other variants of the T827 models firmware without luck so figured I'd roll the dice on it myself. This weekend I tracked down the VzW Oreo firmware and used Odin to install it on my US Cell Tab. The first round I had a couple of errors and for a second thought I had a new paper weight, but kept calm and ran through the process again and it worked!
Just a note:
At first boot it will say the SIM is invalid and to put in a VzW SIM, but you can click ok and keep going. Once done setting up on wifi you can then go into settings and add the AT&T APN and connect over cell.

Could you post where you got the VZW image? I'd like to try this. I can't believe USC hasn't updated their tabs yet. I'm tired of asking when the update will arrive!

Not sure that was a good idea. If indeed you did manage to flash the VZW bootloader then the tablet is now likely bootloader locked with no way of returning to its original state.

Was this verified to be the case? Also would the verizon combination file work on the uscelluar tablet? I picked up a cheap SM-T827R4 that is FRP locked. I am waiting to hear back from the original owner if they would be willing to bypass the verification for me.

I was able to flash the combo file for the SM-T827V (Verizon version of the Tab S3) to bypass the FRP lock. I used the one on gsm-firmware.com After which I was able to reflash the uscelluar firmware from sammobile. I don't know if this is exactly the same as the OP's method, but hope it helps someone else out in the future.

Sorry for the late reply on this. I downloaded the image files from sammobile and installed them with odin. I've been up and running on Oreo (VzW branded) since my post and have had no issues or reasons to flash to anything else. I have tried to run an update but it says it can't register, which i assume is because it's hitting the VzW servers w an ATT SIM from a USC device!

You just need to put a Verizon SIM in it once (and so far only once) to check for updates. The SIM doesn’t even need to be provisioned. Then you can check for updates with your normal SIM.
I’ve had a VZW Tab S3 for over a year that I have been using with AT&T. I updated to Oreo without any issues with my AT&T SIM installed.

Wanted to first say thanks for the tip -- and echo that The T827R4 does in accept the Verizon Oreo firmware via the latest version of Odin, though with a build just a few releases behind it threw an error and would not flash.
I guess if we can't have root we may as well have Oreo.

Samemobile has the January security update Oreo

I just updated to Oreo for SM-T827R4 to January security patch 8.0.0 firmware from Sammobile and it working great.

You're right about Verizon firmware running really smooth. Much better than the US Cellular firmware. After flashed VZ firmware, the model changed to SM-T827V.

in case anyone has the us cellular model, you really don't need to flash the verizon firmware because the us cellular model has a more updated firmware than the verizon model.
the model is actually SM-T827R4, oreo with apr 2019 security and OTA update works too.
though no pie update yet (same as verizon)

So these can't be flashed to the stock 820 pie rom?

Can I still root my T-mobile S7 edge after recent update?

Recently my phone updated and the baseband is G935TUVS9CSB2. It is also in the oreo version.I was wondering if I would be able to root my s7 edge currently or if I would have to wait a bit for it.

bummer no one replied

Yes
Yes you can, I have done so. Just don't ever take the carrier update again, just in case.
You will need this ENG Boot....
Enjoy!

Updating LS-997 Help

I have got LS-997 model and software version is US99610f (Nougat). I want to update it to oreo since its a tempered device all sims are working globally all bands are working too, FOTA updates didn't came to this device. I wanna know that if its safe to install US oreo firmware on LS-997 ? Or not. This is the only option left since no kdz is available for sprint models.
I tried to check bootloader it says your account might get suspend, 9 Times Left bla bla ... and fastboot bootloader variable says unlocked = 'NO' .
Non Rooted Device
Thanks Indeed,

Oreo update is doable, I have one of mine on Oreo. You just can only temp root if you want, but that is flakey to do.

Did you mean US version of Oreo Or sprint version ?

My phone is working for all carriers , Question is, Installing sprint will relock my device for specifically sprint or will it remains like before flashing ?

As for carrier swapping, I am not sure, there are some other forums on here that are talking unlocking carrier after Oreo Sprint so I am sure it can be done if it happens to relock. I would double check before attempting. Here is one thread... https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/lg-v20-ls997-successfully-unlocked-oreo-t3835061/amp/. Don't update until read though. Just use caution.

You are Right I will share my experience soon

It looks like you have an older, rootable LS997 that has been cross-flashed to US996 Nougat firmware, essentially a Sprint V20 disguised as a US996 that is SIM-unlocked. You won't be able to install the official LS997 Oreo update until you go through the DirtySanta procedure and then flash an old Sprint Nougat ROM near the end of the process. However, after you update to Oreo this way, the phone becomes completely and irreversibly unrootable, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the DirtySanta procedure, so I highly discourage you from doing this. The Sprint firmware is not really useful for anyone who doesn't use Sprint as a carrier.
If you want Oreo or higher, you're much better off installing one of the LineageOS-based ROMs.
One thing I haven't seen anyone do on an LS997 cross-flashed to US996 is trying to flash a US996 Oreo KDZ firmware file. No idea if that works or not, but it would be quite a risk to try since there seems to be no documentation of anyone having done that before.
For more details on just about anything related to the LS997, I've written up a bunch of information here.

If you want full root don't update to Oreo if you are on a full rootable firmware still. All up to you of course. My full root is still Nougat, a Sprint ls997zv7 firmware

Yes thats what I thought exactly .. I found a forum someone did that and he flushed his imei modem completely and there is no way that he can reverse Plus Unfortunately No firmware is available too make sprint phone work again..
