Nope. Moto will not unlock any cricket or att moto phones. Jcase has an exploit for you but it won't work if it comes with 4.4.4 already. And it costs $25.
edit: It might work - only way to find out is to try. Let us know if you do, I'm interested! Go here:

Please edit your thread title to avoid confusion. As not all Moto G's are unlockable.
Verizon, AT&T, AIO/Cricket, Republic Wireless and Tracfone don't qualify for bootloader unlocking.

Locked or unlocked is irrelevant. You just can't be rooted or have a custom recovery.
This is from my recent experience of the recent OTA for the XT1034.
Sunshine tool did NOT work on XT1045 from cricket as it has 4.4.4 already. No way to downgrade it either if it is like the other moto g from cricket.
Yeah Cricket seems to be non unlockable
WTF!!!!
So i called Cricket Customer Care and i was told that i would have to be a customer for 6 months in order to unlock my bootloader and a Cricket Retail Rep told me 4 months. Not sure who to believe and if its even true, how would cricket even make it happen???
hopefully the bootloader will be unlocked soon :/
NEED Bootloader Unlocked for Moto G XT1045
Totally disgusted that the bootloader cannot be unlocked for this device. I'm willing to pay for someone to get it unlocked. Second Cricket device in a row that cannot be rooted for me. Well this one can but technically can't without the bootloader. Someone please help! Going to send this phone to the graveyard if not.
Does anyone have a cricket firmware for 4.4.2 or 4.4.3? Do we know for sure the Moto G Cricket can't be downgraded?

Moto G Play (XT1607)

I got this in today. KingRoot fail on rooting it. Anyone got it to root yet?
No. There isn't a temporary root method, BUT, I suspect we'll be able to unlock the bootloader soon enough. People are panicking because the bootloader unlock site lists the Amazon exclusive version of the regular G4 to not be able to be unlocked, so they're assuming the G4 Play with Amazon ads and stuff will be the same... BUT what they fail to notice is that the Amazon G4p is NOT an Amazon exclusive. It's the XT1607, same as buying it direct from moto, it just has the *option* of Amazon installing lock screen ads and their apps for a $50 discount

To unlock it.
About Phone > Keep hitting the Build number until the Developer options show up.
Developer options > OEM unlocking - Side it to the right.
Fully unlocked.
Just can't root it and put the TWRP on it yet.
I just need the root. That all. So I can remove some of the apps that I don't want.

That doesn't unlock the bootloader. That just makes it possible to issue the fastboot command *to* unlock it once moto adds the XT1607 to the list of unlockable bootloaders. Just having that feature in the developer settings doesn't mean it's guaranteed to get an unlock either. The LG G4 for cdma networks had that option, but you couldn't unlock the bootloader.

Is there a non root de bloat/ ad removal method for the Amazon version??
i was able to get my non amazon xt1607 bootloader unlocked. flashed cm 13 now i cant make any calls text messages or even go on the internet unless i use wifi. issues only started after i flashed cm13. now just waiting on stock rom on moto web site to start all over again.
I also have a non Amazon XT1607 with unlocked bootloader that i flashed CM13 on. Mine works fine except it shows roaming instead of LTE. Doesn't seem to effect anything though. I'm on PagePlus, which uses Verizon towers.
Was able to get the stock rom just not from moto site it works fine got LTE talk and text back. Just waiting on cm14.
Does any of this apply to xt1609? I just got news from unlocker that IMEI starting with 99 are not unlock able through our service because there is no method to enter code....? WTH??

No. The Verizon model cannot be bootloader unlocked.
Got one of these from BHphoto, i use it with straight talk, and i cant wifi tether it. It says go to att.com to setup tethering plan. Originally this phone was supposed to be unlocked. Any idea? Do i need to root it to tether? I did tethering from the same sim on my sony z3. So i know its not my provider for sure. Thanks.

The prime edition (Amazon) of the XT1607 can't be unlocked, but the regular ad-free version of the XT1607 can be unlocked.

I have the bootloader unlocked on mine and have flashed several of the roms that are available. I have the retail $150usd variant. As long as it's not Verizon or the Amazon version you should be able to unlock it fine
OK thanks. I found the files and direction on another forum.
I bought the unlocked XT1607 from BHPhoto as well .
Is there a way to toggle mobile data on and off? I am using this on a prepaid plan with limited 3 GB of data and I don't want to be drawing down data when I don't need it to be.

You can use the pull down menu (slide it down from the top of any screen) and press the data signal bars icon to toggle mobile data. Or you can also go into settings>data usage>cellular data and toggle it on and off from there. Hope this helps

Root? without bootloader unlock?

Any developers interested in creating a root for the Moto G4 Play? Especially the Verizon variant due to the fact it seems that the bootloader can't be unlocked?

There won't be one. They're considering it the same as the moto g4 Amazon prime exclusive version and neither Amazon nor moto will be releasing a bootloader unlock for the 1607.
As for the 1609, though, you could call their support line and request a bootloader unlock code, since the chart says nothing about the Verizon variant, so it's assumed that it counts as any other non-plus 4th generation moto g.

Yea I tried calling moto but they were not helpful and said they did not help with bootloader unlocks. Which is just absurd. I'm really at a loss cause I've tried everything available but I can't get the 1609 rooted or bootloader unlocked.:crying:

Yep, I went the same route too and thought I was getting somewhere. After 5 or 6 emails with support, they told me to call and ask for a bootloader unlock. I thought that meant it was going to happen, when really it was just them passing the buck and letting the phone support people tell me no.

May need the help of a some one experienced in cracking bootloader's and or rooting. I'll keep digging for a root solution and as soon as I get success I'll post here. If anyone else can help in the search or actually crack the code (as I like to say) and post it here, that would be great.

Updated software today - ads are back :(

I did the big update today for the newest software patch available for the Motorla G4.
My ads are back unfortunately.
Does anyone know if there's a tutorial to remove the ads for the latest version of the software update?
Thanks!!

I don't recall anyone getting an Amazon update. Sadly you did answer a question I'm sure all the Amazon G4 owners had.
I have the same experience - can we use the same process as before, or use the just posted factory image?
Was you rooted with unlocked bootloader? It just appeared for me as well. I want to update but don't want to relock bootloader but I do still have the original code from moto to unlock it I think.

If you're rooted you can't install an OTA but it doesn't matter if you're unlocked. Once you've used the unlock code from MOTO you're always unlocked and won't have to enter it again. If for some way they've managed to relock it on the Amazon ad phones then I would imagine they've also blocked it from a future unlock. In the past though once unlocked the bootloader is always unlocked.
I'm not locked to any specific carrier as far as I know.. purchased this off of Amazon for $125.. USA version.

You are more likely to find help in the Moto G4 section. This is Moto G4 plus, of which there is no Amazon variant.
