Future bootloader unlocking w/ G5 Amazon - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Looking to purchase a G5 Plus w/ ads from Amazon. If I pay to have them removed down the road, does this process remove the inability to unlock the bootloader when complete?

just spend the extra bux if you think you want to down the road. I did and have no real intention of rooting, worth it.

You could also take advantage of retailers that price match. I picked mine up at a local bestbuy, they were able to price match it for me after verifying my prime membership.

Bestbuy price matched the Amazon Prime model to the unlocked model because you have a prime account?

I also received the price match on my G5+ at BB.

Indeed they did. They also did it for me when I picked up my G4+ plus last year. They'll verify you prime membership and then make sure it's sold by Amazon and not a 3rd party seller. Hope this helps your decision it's a really good phone.

No, it just means I shelled out extra doe. It's an excellent phone, I have the 2GB version. Gonna pickup the 4GB version tomorrow and try and price match against the Amazon Prime model.

So, were you successful in getting BB to price-match the Prime w/ads price?

That's a big negatron, over. I tried five different store's in the Tampa Bay area. They apparently aren't stupid. They know what the prime ad's version is.

Never mind. It looks like Best Buy has stopped carrying the Moto G5+, at least only refurbished models are available on their website.
Too bad....

Well, looking at their website now shows a different story. And I tried different stores located in a couple of different states and the results were the same.
I'm just going to return the one I bought for my wife from Amazon and pick one up from Fry's this evening. I hadn't realized the bootloader on the Prime version wasn't unlockable. That's what I get for assuming because it is a Motorola it'd be unlockable.

I'm not sure how you're not seeing them, but both models are available on their site as new and refurbished. Just checked.

Because I used the search terms "Motorola G5 Plus," and it comes up with the contents in the attachment. So, BB's got a ****ty search engine. I knew that, it's just that when it came up with the phones I was looking for I thought I'd hit upon the magic spell to get the BB site to display what I was looking for. :silly:

They didn't go for it, tha bastards! I ended up getting an open-box 64GB for $260. It looked immaculate, and I've got 15 days to make sure whoever had it before didn't hose it.

N7 2013 16 and 32 GB in stock at TigerDirect

It's an especially good deal, since it means 0 tax for most of us.
Are they doing international orders?
could someone confirm how much disk space is available on the 16 gb version?

Yep but is $70 international!!
As soon as I saw the 32GB was in stock at TigerDirect, I ordered one from their website.
I used Google Checkout to place the order. Payment went smooth and I even got an order number.
However, TigerDirect doesn't show my order and the customer care tells me that the order isn't in their database. I searched for similar problems and it seems quite a few people have faced the same. I fear I am stuck with my funds being blocked by Google Checkout for a while. FML

I just placed the order again today. So I haven't been refunded. The tracking number said that the package was never picked up by UPS, and they saw that. If it ever arrives, I'll just do an RMA. Good luck to you.

Ordered the T-Mobile version!

I ordered the T-Mobile version earlier today, FINALLY. Not sure if I should have waited for the DEV edition, but the T-Mobile version comes with an unlockable bootloader so I guess that's good. If the DEV edition becomes available later this week I will simply return the tmo version and get that.
Anyone else order the T-Mobile Moto X?
UPDATE: Our Moto X's have started shipping, although the moto site still does not reflect it. Showing a delivery date of 9/16 (Monday)!

Might wait for the Dev. Edition and/or Motomaker edition, the appealing thing about the Moto X is the possibility of the 32gb internal storage and you won't get that with the carrier version.
Do we know if the Dev edition will come with T Mobiles AWS HSPA? If so, that is what I'm going to wait for.

It probably won't. The T-Mobile version does though, and is fully unlockable... so I'd go with that one.
Almost bit the bullet and bought one of these. Can't justify dropping 600 bucks for 16gb and from most accounts a poor camera and average screen. I really wanted to love the phone, but in my limited time in playing with one, I just don't feel it's a 600 dollar product. Motorola pays 220 dollars to have the phone made, they would have taken over the world if they didn't try to get 3x the price out of customers.

Thanks for wishing me luck, it worked. I bought a LG G2 for 600 dollars. Problem solved. I appreciate the luck! :good: 32GB, 1080P screen, Great camera with OIS, for the same price. It wasn't the fact that phones cost 600 dollars, its the fact that Motorola is charging 600 dollars for that phone. Its not a 600 dollar piece of hardware. Anyway, I'm good to go now, back to my regularly scheduled G2 forums. Best of luck X guys! Its really a cool and unique phone.

You're welcome
And congrats!
I tried to order one several times yesterday. I had it the basket every time and when I clicked the purchase button I kept getting a message about an error with my credit card which has plenty of money on it. Now I have three holds pending on my credit card in the amount of the purchase and they all say Motorola Direct. First chat session was cut off and second one was with a person saying the only moto x available for purchase was the att exclusive one. I told them they had bad information and they insisted I was wrong. I made a call about it and have had two call backs today but each time I was busy. Hoping for another call back today because I'm not going to sit on hold for another 20 minutes today to see what they have come up with. They did admit that the website has a problem but without more info I am in the dark still I'm losing my faith in this company and it sucks because I want to try this phone and give them a chance but it is frustrating so far. I know its early in the game for the T-Mobile variant but damn, its not looking good so far.

In other threads that don't have to do with the t-mobile version, people have reported the phone showing up even before the motorola order status page was updated. So....anyway, take that with some heavy salt.

I didn't even open the box

I told a buddy that I was able to order on 10/29 and he was unable to get one. He said he will give me $1000 and I said no! he said $1100 and I said F*CK! OK Deal. Was a $400 profit but im regretting it already. I was so hyped for it, checking the forums every day for updates. I wonder when it would ship if I order one on Wednesday.
As excited as I was for this phone...I would have done the same. I wouldn't be able to say no to that.
You should have pushed for $1500. Great profit though. I would be happy.
Yup. A $400 profit would have been enough for me to say yes too. That'll buy a lot of accessories for my next Nexus 6.
A Moto 360 could be in your future now? If you're into smart watches, and don't have one already....
Nicely done!! If someone would've offered the same to be when my 64GB came in I would've done the same and turned around and ordered another! Not bad man, not bad.

There's someone locally who is hawking a 32GB Blue on Craigslist for $999 (after he dropped the price) hasn't sold.
id took the money too
Would have easily taken that deal. A month or two from now, we'll all have a Nexus 6.
But none of us will have that additional $400. It was worth it.
Always take the money! Stock will be available soon enough!
You should have asked for 1.5 million

I love how it's the same price for leather or plastic.
If only it was compatible with Verizon, I'd pick it up from T-Mobile.
Well I've tried to but it would appear that T-Mobile is not interested in my business. I kept getting an error that my information couldn't be verified and I'd need to go into a store which I won't be doing. I cannot believe how wireless carriers can screw up the simplest of tasks like purchasing a phone. I give you my address information, my credit card info and you send me a phone.. Not rocket science...
Very unhappy right now!
Ordered my brown leather before bed last night and it should be delivered tomorrow! I paid for 1 day shipping. Can't wait!
Ordered at 0700 central time and order is already processed!

T-Mobile is REALLY good at pre-orders, as long as the system doesn't mess it up. I ordered my S6 the first day, 3/27 (a friday) and got it 3/30 (that monday). No complaints at all, aside from the phone being an overpriced defective POS.
Mod Edit: mind your language
supposedly I will get my G4 tomorrow since my order was updated as shipped. I hope it comes with the plastic and leather back, so I have better case options.

The UK, Netherland versions e.g. carphonewarehouse etc come with the plastic backs if you ordered a leather version. This has been confirmed. I'm only hoping the U.S. variants will do the same.

I don't know, but that link I listed is a Tmobile unit (non US). I wasn't sure on the pricing structure in those countries. Since I haven't seen a retail unboxing of TMO's G4, I will hold on to hope. Most likely won't happen though.
Just ordered mine
I'd say there is 0 chance that any us carrier includes both backs. It's just not the USA way.
Ordered mine. Also paid for overnight shipping as I'm moving this weekend to another state and wanted it in my hands before the move. Some points though:
I bought a metallic gray G4 using the link above and paid $11.99 for overnight shipping. I plan to stick with Cricket though (20GB/month for $55/month). That being said...FYI to anyone buying the phone:

1) You pay $50 or so in taxes (at least I did as a NY resident). I was hoping it would be tax free because online, but alas, tis not.
2) There is a mandatory $15 SIM Starter Kit that you have to pay for
3) There is no TMo logo on the phone according to customer service
4) You will need to apply for an unlock code by submitting an unlock request by calling customer service at 1-877-746-0909. That is, if you plan to use a different carrier like me.
5) As stated on Droid-Life by SDotNYC, you must go to www.lgg4t-mobilepromo.com to get the 128GB SD card by submitting proof of purchase by July 6th.
YES! I can't wait to get this phone! Finally the day has come!
Yeah not tax free because they have retail stores in your state, but I cant get the lgg4t-mobilepromo.com to load anyone else have that issue?
There is also another promo for a free battery and 32gb SD Card
Any differences in this that would keep me from fully using it on att? ie.. lte. This is a really attractive price
The website for the free SD card finally started working for me but you have to submit a copy of your receipt and a picture of the box showing your IMEI or MEID. So you can't actually submit anything until you get the phone.

I plan to use it on Cricket (basically AT&T). I compared the bands specs via a document on Droid-Life and PhoneArena and the bands are the same as they were on the LG G3 which works with both AT&T and Cricket obviously.
How to order without upgrade or adding a line
Gee, I hope I'm not thick, but the only options I see for buying are upgrading or adding a new line. Someone kindly explain how to buy without the hoops.

Freakin' awesome. About time. I have to go through BestBuy because I have a healthy amount of credit with them and after paying for a wedding and honeymoon I'm broke.
Edit : That sucks. BestBuy has it listed as coming 8/17.
Edit 2 : BestBuy also lists it as no Bluetooth connectivity. That has to be incorrect, right?
Silver is listed as 8/17 on ZTE's website. I pre-ordered it - I'm cool with waiting for a color that isn't gold.

I have to admit was losing interest in this device. Now that there is a release date and a better than expected price point I'm beginning to regain some interest though I already have the LG G5 and Nexus 6P.
If there are no major flaws and it performs like the specs suggest, this will be a killer device at $400.

Quartz Silver available at Best Buy and ZTE USA's site.
Looks like ZTE is pulling an HTC, with the gold version releasing at least two weeks before the silver/grey.
I don't know why they did this. Agitates me.

In the webinar they had today, they plainly stated it was due to shortages in manufacturing.

Yea. I am going on vacation in the middle of August so I was force to get gold. Oh well, maybe it will help with resale value down the line.

That's what agitates me. The darker colors (black/grey) are usually the more popular options in the US so you'd think they'd opt to ramp up production on those instead of the gold.

Gray is up now.
Ordered the quartz gray. Might be able to get rid of the bonus headphones for $50. $350 for the A7 wouldn't be too bad.
Anyone know if Newegg will contact me before it actually ships? There's a month between now and when it's scheduled to ships, so who knows what might happens between now and then.

I am waiting for Newegg to list the silver version so that I can preorder.

USA Model Listed as 4 GB, 64 GB storage and 3250 mh battery.
I'm guessing the $400 price tag over $450 is because we get no headphones, screen protector, and case in the box.
I'd of paid the extra $50 for those. I hate that all the international devices get extras and US doesn't.

No, you get those in the box, they said it in the "webinar".
Wow, really? That's freakin' awesome. Definitely glad I pre-ordered. We usually get skimped there.
