    Lol this is old news brah 😅

    Still waiting my Moto G 5G 2024 to have the “Allow OEM Unlocking” option to become un-greyed… it’s currently day 2/7 I think?

    (supposedly it takes 7 days after being connected to the internet, even tho I already got the unlock code… 🤷‍♂️)

          So what happened is the dumbest thing ever. Yes it did have a small Crack on the screen… but that didn’t do anything for months until it rained and then ONE drop landed on a spot that busted it. No joke. It seemed to return to life a long ass time later but the screen still died and is non functional.

            I mean a “small crack” is a big deal tho. Even if it was a pixel, that “small crack” would’ve ruing the IP rating.

            But unlike a $500 pixel, the Moto G 5G 2024 only $140 so you could just easily get a replacement.

      Would you mind letting me know if it works out? Was thinking of getting a Moto G, I’m using an elderly Samsung and no way will I replace it with another Samsung.

        YAYAYAYAY! 😁 (Today is Day 6, didn’t even need the full 7 days)

        I feel like a Hacker right now.

        Now I just need to flash Lineage.

        Good luck, my friend. Moto G 2024 is only like $140 (on discount) right now. Do not get carrier versions, those don’t unlock. Get the full retail price version. Its XT2417-1.

          Thanks for the heads up. Yeah it’s hard to know what’s going to be a pile of shit. I had a good experience with a moto previously - but that was maybe ten years ago, a lot could have changed since then.

          I’m looking for something mid range I guess, £500 max. I’ve always had cheaper phones and I’m tired of being frustrated with a device I use so much so I’m gonna spend a bit more on the next one.
