Use Software Fix (Rescue & Recovery) if you want to skip having to do software updates one by one
https://support.lenovo.
Install desktop software, enable usb debugging on device (tap build # 7 times), power off phone. with usb cable connected to PC hold volume down on phone and connect cable to phone. software fix will identify your phone in fastboot mode, download the latest update, and fresh install it.
Tip #2
If you plan on unlocking your bootloader and want to skip waiting 1 week for OEM unlock to be available, you need to skip everything during initial setup, don't connect to wifi or insert sim. setup developer mode, and OEM unlock will be available to toggle.
It's possible you're prorated to day#31 of a 31-day month, who knows.
You're probably right that the $2 is some pro-rated charge for 1 day of service of the $60 premium plan. Just really weird why they would charge like that on existing account with no active lines. Has anyone else tried to buy the phone on an existing boost account with no active lines and seen the same charge?
There could be a chance that they would mark the phone as Lost/stolen.

I don't think they can/will blacklist the phone unless you somehow cancel out of the first month completely or never activate. Try loading your cart again tomorrow & see if it's still $2.
I've already connected to Wi-Fi, activated the SIM, and unlocked the network using an unlock code.
However, 'OEM unlocking' is still grayed out. (And then, I just read #578)
Did I mess up?

No idea why you think they might flag the phone as lost/stolen.
Also recommend requesting the bootloader unlock code before ever registering a google account on the phone, the reason being the moto site mentions using the same google account tied to the phone to make the request, without ever having signed into an account I've been able to receive the codes by creating motorola accounts with throwaway instant emails.

It's the next day, and I'm still seeing the $2 charge for the unlimited premium service.
