Guest plewis1981 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi all, I am thinking of buying a moto g today from tesco UK, and I just want to check a few things beforer I do. 1. I only have internet access on my phone and can't tether to my laptop ( :( giffgaff :( ) Will I be able to unlock my bootloader? 2. I see you cant remove the battery, what happens if I get a boot loop, is there a way to reset the phone. 3. I want to flash the 4.4 update, which i see contains a new bootloader, will this relock my bootloader . Any advice would be grate, thankyou in advance.

Guest plewis1981 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Just one more question, when they are described as 8gb/16gb dose this refer to the size of the internal SD or are the system and data partitions included in the stated storage?

Guest eLJay Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) I bought a 16GB one from Tesco. £2.03 and it is sim unlocked, not looking to unlock the bootloader as I run some Banking software that needs it locked down.
