Moto E4 OEM Rom Swap - Moto E4 Questions & Answers

I have a Sprint Moto E4 Perry that I would like to install the Metro PCS OEM Moto E4 Perry rom onto. The phone is already bootloader unlocked. What would be the easiest way to do so? Would installing the OEM rom with twrp work? If so what would be the best way to do that? Thank you for your help.

You can't install stock firmware with twrp unless it was made into a flashable zip by someone, and nobody has done that yet. You need to flash the firmware with fastboot. I also don't recommend flashing firmware for a GSM device on a CDMA device. It may not work out so well for you.

Whats the reasoning behind wanting to flash metropcs?

The bootloader probably won't let you flash anything other than the Verizon version
If anyone tried this please report back I'd really like to know the answer to this myself.

How might you accomplish this given locked bootloader, no root and no ability to boot a custom recovery. There is little/no chance ADB sideload would allow such a swap as it would stop any semblance of device security.

No. Probably never will be.
I know someone that has the Dev version of the verizon model and they say they cannot unlock the bootloader on that one either - it came locked out the box. So, you're probably better off going Factory Unlocked.

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.

Moto E4 Sprint XT1766 Unlock

Hello - I have a Moto E4 Sprint variation XT1766. I'm looking to network/sim unlock somehow to use with Verizon. Are there any options out there? I read somewhere that maybe flashing a custom rom would allow all domestic services to be used. If so, is there a stock-ish firmware with this allowed, or what is the closest to stock firmware that would allow me to do this? My phone is bootloader unlocked and rooted.
Also, I see websites selling services to unlock remotely. I found one that will do it for $9 and "permanently" unlock it even after reset/updates. Thoughts?
Thanks!

You can't do it with a custom ROM anymore. They locked it.
The official way is to satisfy the carriers terms for unlock. For example, if it's a boost device, I think you have to use it on their network for 60 days (might be a different number of days now) and then simply request it unlocked. The same for Sprint. It should be that way for all xt1766 carriers. They have unlock it if you satisfy their criteria.
I have never used any of those unlock services so I can't say anything useful about them.
