I've got a Moto Z3 (not Z3 play) and I can't seem to find a section here about it. Everywhere I search, and everything Google turns up is for the Z3 play. I'm wondering if these two are interchangeable when it comes to roms, etc? If not, is there a section somewhere on this site which is tailored specifically to the Z3 non-play edition? Can you link it?
Thanks!

Verizon branded devices cannot be bootloader unlocked.
So no custom ROMs

dang. I was afraid of that. Well, thank you for looking into it. Should I just buy unlocked phones in the future to prevent these types of issues?

ROMS are not Provider specific, so if you own a Z then any Z FW will work.

Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Because S4 has different SoC for every carrier.

Yes even with the locked bootloader. There are links at the top of that thread I linked that link to the necessary tools needed to do so. You just need to root, install custom recovery, and flash the firmware with the flash tool and flash accompanying ROM in recovery..
As long as the ROM you're trying to flash is based on and uses the stock kernel, it will work with a locked bootloader.

i feel you man, these phones aren't cheap... but, from what i've seen in the various threads around here, people say to use external memory to flash stuff.. but, that could be outdated information...
everything that says that is concerning older versions of recovery... so you could try it from internal memory... but to be on the safe side, i would get an sd card... luckily for me, i had a little 2gb card lying around, so maybe you can bum one off of someone so you don't have to go out and buy one right away.
fyi, even though you probably know this already... i would recommend not buying sd cards from a retail store... they're significantly cheaper online...

Why isn't it possible to flash the development rom on the stock Verizon phone?
Will this ever be a possibility?
I am thinking they are exactly the same hardware and carrier so I would think that it would work.

The software is the same. It is the phones unique Device ID that allows the bootloader to be unlocked.

thanks for the response. I've been waiting since thursday for an unlock code but no luck yet. I checked your suggestions but it does not seem to have arrived yet. Curious if motorola is having issues. thanks again
I got the response in about 15 seconds.. You may want to try again....
I received the bootloader unlock codes for the phones I have unlocked within 5 seconds of clicking the submit button.

Yes I know it wouldn't be a good idea but I know who he is and he has been providing support for us, he is Matt the forum admin from the Moto support forum. I have my device registered with Moto so I don't believe anyone can do anything with the IMEI anyway since it isn't registered with the carrier. Thanks for looking out though I appreciate it.

unlocked bootloader for my motox on attunlocked bootloader
Hi, I am totally blind, and it's really hard to navigate these forums, I tried to send a message to zat and the other motorola employee, but my screen reader doesn't read the imbeded objects very well. I understand in general that bootloaders are not unlocked for att devices, but with the overlay, my talkback screen reader doesn't work very well, so would like to gain root, to use a different rom or remove the overlay with titanium backup. If you guys could please make an exception, I love this phone and don't want to return it, or could you guys trade me for the developer adition or some way for me to resolve this problem. My email is [email protected], and I'd really appreciate you guys allowing me to unlock my bootloader or some resolution.
Thanks:
isaac

If I recall correctly, Moto disabled/blocked it because they claimed it interfered with the built-in Motorola Touchless Controls.

I didn't say that it does interfere, just that it was the explanation moto gave when they blocked it for the X. It USED to be installed by default, IIRC.

Motorola didn't block it, Google did. It is only available for Nexus devices, and it has never been the default on the Motorola X, or any other device that wasn't from the Play Store.
It's fine if it isn't. I'm actually pretty satisfied with the stock software.
Just found out that you can't. I'll still hang around here incase someone finds an exploit to do it.
