Moto G4 - Amazon Prime Exclusive edition?!?!?! - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

So it appears that Amazon and Moto have come to an arrangement, and you can get a Moto G 4th Gen Prime Exclusive version for $149.99 (16GB RAM) or $179.99 (32GB RAM) with Amazon lockscreen offers and ads. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZC9WC0
Offers and ads, including personalized deals and recommendations, display on the phone's lockscreen
Prime members get unlimited access to Prime movies and TV shows, Prime Music, photo storage, deals, and more with a pre-installed selection of Amazon apps, including Amazon Underground where over 2,000 premium apps, games, and in-app items are 100% FREE

So my immediate thought is... Can I unlock it and flash a custom ROM (when they become widely available)?

I bought it today..the actual price is 125 and 155 after 25$ further discount when you check out

I m sure with root and custom recoveries , ROMs in near future will be able to get rid of amazon ads etc.

What if Amazon makes the phone's recovery locked?

I'm sure it'll be the same as their new Fire Tablet. When it first came out I was able to at least boot into the custom recovery through fastboot but with their revised version you have to jump through a lot more hoops but it's still possible to root and flash a custom rom.
That's the great thing about the people in these forums, they usually find a way.

If it has an unlockable bootloader like the Moto-direct models, you should be able to flash a stock firmware with no ads. Guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks.

Usually for Motorola devices, you do not need an unlocked bootloader to flash the stock firmware. So I wonder if it's possible to just flash stock firmware from the non-ads version. Amazon must have thought of this though.

To be devil's advocate Amazon manufactured the Kindle Fire tablets, for this version of the G4 I'm not sure if Motorola/Lenovo would let Amazon place many restrictions on it. We'll see in two weeks.

Whatever ends up happening, I'm just glad I finally got to afford a new phone lol. I only paid in total after amazon discounts $11.05 for the 32gb version. I'm happy haha. I had $156 and some change in gift cards I been saving. I do surveys, and bing and what not. It would be nice to get rid of the ads, but small price to pay...literally.

From a review of the Amazon variant of the BLU R1 HD, you can just replace the lock screen and launcher with another one. The ads disappear.
He does it about 5 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHWATsaD8Ns
Here's hoping the Moto will be just as easy!

It's a real tempting offer, but with my luck Motorola locked it down for them. I'm leaning toward one without the Amazon crap just to be on the safe side but I'll probably wait until some enterprising soul buys one and checks it out.

I have prime as well but it didn't give me $25 today. I have a family prime, I just did it through the head of hosuehold and it worked. Thanks

I would have rather waited until I sold my other Moto's but I was afraid they'd pull the special deal.

Well amazon shipped the phones today. Amazon says it will get here on Tuesday (US release date). But ups shows Wednesday.

Thanks for the video! Unfortunately for some, it looks like the Amazon model will be getting its updates from Amazon, instead of from Moto directly. (Settings > About Phone > "Software Variant: amz" and "Software Channel: amz").
Have you tried seeing if you can unlock your bootloader? (No need to unlock it if you don't want to, just want to know if Moto will send you the code to unlock it)

Fabulous, thank you for checking. I wonder how long until we're able to put an original G4 system rom on it and get updates directly from Motorola instead of Amazon (and obviously no ads).

Best Buy Refunds for price drop of 12.2 Tab Pro

I recently purchased the Tab Pro 12.2 for $599 at my local Best Buy and I checked there website today and what do you know its now $549 so I immediately called and was refunded $53 back to my card. This is what I like to call a win, just thought I should spread the word.
Great to hear. Guess they aren't selling so well?? I got $50. back from Amazon (but saved that $39. in tax) with first price drop. That only leaves me a little in the hole. (As of May 1, we pay tax to Amazon, now.) Definitely think they'll sell a bit better at that price.

Did the same thing. Saw that the price dropped and headed over to get my 50 bucks back. Not going to complain about that!
My question is: They have Best Buys in Afghanistan?

If you're elite plus member, just go into the store and ask someone to price match. I asked a guy to do it for me and it worked even though he said it wouldn't. If they wont price match, and you really want the 50 back, just return it and buy a new one. you have 45 days.

Do you remember the date of that ad? I don't see any dates in the pic above. I purchased my Tab Pro 12.2 on 5/13/2014 during the $100 off sale for $549. I called BestBuy and none of the people I spoke with knew anything about this deal. They did tell me that if I brought proof of this deal to my local BestBuy I could still get the keyboard case.

This was actually not on their Ad but on the Best Buy website when you clicked on tablets. Once you clicked on the tablets you would see the screen shot I posted. Best Buy had this deal from 5/11/14 through 5/29/14. Does the Best Buy store you went to have the Samsung store? When I bought mine, the Samsung guy knew about the free keyboard. I didn't have to tell him.

Autoprime's light hearted post was obviously not serious! but why are these questions asked here on XDA any way?
There's a lesson here from LG, like HTC before them, to wait at least a month after release day next time.

I'll trade you a spare battery and charger for root on a T-Mobile G4. ?
Sweet. Looks like I'm really going to get a G4 for my birthday.
That dark brown leather back is beautiful. I want it.
A little off-topic, I'm thinking on getting g 4 and the offer made me compare prices between the US and Poland, where I live. The promo offer is cheaper than getting the phone alone in Poland by 60$. I went a little further, in Germany they don't have the offer either, the price is still lower than in Poland. Comparing the three countries' avg salary, we earn the least and pay the most(on this particular device).

I'll send you my phone with a brown T-Mobile leather back... you root it and send just the phone back. Keep the leather and the battery. Deal?
I don't like the new leather design for the orange leather. Now all 5 covers are same texture, when upon release the color defined the different texture.

That's what I see. 250k isn't much.... More than likely though they will still honor the requests after that but people might be waiting a while. I pre-ordered on the 4th of August so I'm pretty sure I'm in anyways.
Pre-ordered a black onyx on 8/4.
My pre-order is dated 8/2. Ordered online from Verizon in the Central time zone. The promotion has 8/3 as the earliest date to qualify. Thinking about cancelling and reordering though Verizon customer service assured me 8/2 would be OK. I really doubt it.

Does anyone know if VZW has a reputation for shipping them on time, late, early, etc.? I'm hoping it's not late since they're due to arrive on a Friday! That weekend would be torture... I'm hoping for a surprise and we'll end up getting it a few days early.

through verizon you can now upgrade and keep unlimited data by choosing to pay for the phone on their monthly payment plan. thats what i did. that is part of their justification to charge us an extra $25 bucks for the data.

I spoke to a T-Mobile rep on twitter last night and she new nothing about the preorders starting today. Every tech site reported it started today so not sure where there info came from. But the lady couldnt tell me anything else about it.

Yea I just called T-Mobile also and their reps are clueless about the G6. Guess T-Mobile doesn't care about the G6 and probably thinks all big sales are gonna be on the S8.

What tech sites said TMobile preorders would start? They all said VZW
Now Verizon and Sprint giving away 4k Smart TV's and ATT giving LG Smart Watch on top of the free Google Home.
Seems they're all trying to win back the T-Mobile customers! lol
Its a war!!
Yet us T-Mobile folks are like what the bloody heck is happening with not even preorders yet.
Only reason I can think of for no preorders yet is because they don't have them in stock yet since they usually ship them out right away.
I WANT MY G6 DAMM IT!!!! @$#:!$

I could care less about pre order. Just want an unlocked BL.

It will most likely be unlockable as all LG phones have been on T-Mobile.
Btw, Mr. Apostle, please prophesy as to when pre-orders start?? )))))

Haha... I saw the tmo page yesterday and they were $9,999. Must have just been a placeholder til the pre-orders go live.

Yea I've still been around here in the LG G4 tmo section for the past twoooooo longgg years. Then was with vzw's LG G2 before that.
I've really like LG's style and become a die hard convert! lol Though with the G6 I will surely miss the volume buttons in the back of the phone that made them so original.

I loved my G4... I suffered from the mystery screen break and then moved on. Had a V10 for a while but that second screen was useless and also made it impossible to change screen DPI, unless you did it per app. If you changed the system DPI the phone went into bootloop and you'd have to reflash your ROM to get it back.
Preordering is not really useful. There is never a stock issue on opening day at a store. The only potential reason to preorder is TMobile has a habit of shipping early.
Big T usually ships early so I thing I need to order a case probably this week. Verizons already shipping thiers on March 31st.

Hopefully we get them a day or two early like some did with the Pixel.
I probably should have waited for the note 8, but I miss my note 7 so bad I just couldn't wait. Currently running Pixel XL.
Got mine in too, I've been on a Moto G4 since I turned in my Note7. Got a Black Plus and even went ahead and ordered some case off amazon already. Almost went with the bestbuy deal but i've had issues with them in the past. I should have probably waited for the next Note but damn I miss having a good camera.
Ordered 2 S8s 1 black 1 grey and 2 S8S+ 1black and 1 grey. It's been 10 years since I've been a Verizon customer (coming from Sprint). It will be good to be back.
I ordered as well....does anyone know how to sign up for our free gifts? I went to samsungpromotions.com after I checked out but I can't figure out where to go.
NM you have to wait until you receive the phone.
I have ordered the s8 plus from Koodo in canada. Should arrive 04/17 according to them. ?

I know what you mean. I have the note 7 and then with everything that happened I was so over Samsung I jumped to Apple and picked up a 7+. That was a big mistake. I was going to wait for the note 8 but I just needed to get out of this phone.
Anyone on Verizon consider ordering the international variant? Or it still the case that it's missing bands that work with CDMA? This is when I start missing my gsm phones.
PS
Ordered s8 midnight black at 1205am EST, 4/21 expected delivery date.
PPS
Did anyone else get the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade? Isn't that why we joined an early upgrade Plan?

Interesting fact: all the s8 devices on display in my local Verizon store are SM-G950U and SM-G955U. This leads me to believe that big red is selling software customized Unlocked models.

Well, generally carriers carry their own one off model number to identify the bloat that will go into the phone.

I did not. I ordered using my 2 year contract. All in $400.
Indeed, this is evident in the history of Samsung devices for Verizon (SM-N910V, SM-G900VZKV, SM-N915V, SM-G920V, etc) it is just interesting to see that it is a U vs. the usual V coding this time around. I'm hoping this will lead to easier root and bootloader access but only time will tell.

So if I order the phone directly from Samsung, someone please tell me it is not going to be branded.

I had my S7 Edge for a year and it is exactly half paid off. Verizon is taking back my S7, removing the balance of payments for the purchase of my S8.

Which is the same for me but I received the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade. Chatted with customer support idiots yesterday and after some going back and forth I got them to state that my new phone will be eligible for upgrade after a year, chat log transcript saved.

OK I see what you are saying. Hopefully I will not have the desire or need to switch to something else for at least 2 years. But you never know. I would keep my Edge longer but I have an annoying issue of an over sensitive screen. It drives me crazy.

Yeah same problem with my edge with the screen. I usually upgrade every year lol, unfortunately I cannot help myself. I guess I've gotten better though since there was a time where I updated every 6 months... still need to update my sig lol
