VPNs are broken on all branches currently. Motorola said they'll be fixing VPNs in the near future. Everything else is working perfectly. title=

Can I ask if eSIM support is enabled as well?

I have a Dish/Boost (ro.carrier = boost) variant and eSIM support is disabled in RETUS and BOOST ROM but not in RETEU or RETAIL. So it looks like the block may be in the US ROMs if RETUS does include eSIM support.

So android auto and Google maps location history is working.

Bank apps is working (with magisk fix)

I read that Widevine is L3?

And I presume Ota update would work normally to receive us version rom updates?

I get L1 on mine. X40 on reteu with locked bootloader

Moto nukes L3 immediately after bootloader unlock. This is irreversible as it's a fuse in the CPU (iswarrantyvoid).

L1 works fine.

Don't know mate, mines still L1 after unlocking the bl, installing reteu and locking again

Interesting. My mistake. I remember it was on L3 earlier but I checked with RETEU again (bootloader unlocked) and it says L1 again. So maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

I've ran reteu, retcn and retus. They are all running L1 after bootloader unlocked / locking. I've had zero issues with L1. The phone rans fantastic on Verizon in the USA. 5G even works! 5G was not working on Verizon with reteu & retcn.

Does this work on a Boost/Dish variant and does my BL need to be unlocked for it?

Does OTA update of retus work with an unlocked bootloader? Thanks!

I had to unlock.

Either way RETUS won't give you eSIM so you have to use RETEU/RETAIL if you want eSIM on dish variant.

I changed my phone from retcn to retail and relocked the BL, and would like to try openmx ROM but I am afraid to brick it because I have read that ROM changing and unlock/relock process can be made only once, otherwise the phone got bricked, is that correct?

If you relocked your bootloader and it wasn't your default ROM, you're most likely out of luck and won't be able to unlock it again. I do not recommend unlocking and relocking your bootloader (unless it's the same default ROM).
