Can someone help me figure out how to unlock my bootloader on my dev edition. It seems very simple but I'm not very command prompt savvy. All step by steps and links are appreciated! Thanks!

Step by step instructions are on moto's site.

It's pretty straight forward.

This is the part I'm unclear on:
2. On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)

Start > type "cmd" and launch. You get a black box with white letters in a mono-spaced font.
Run the following (assuming this is the right path for you): SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Then you should be able to run fastboot.exe and continue on.
Alternatively, you can browse in a file explorer window to that directory, then right click on it (maybe while holding shift) and choose "Open command window here"

i am working on a guide right now to try and make it as easy as possible but moto requiers you to sign in inorder to get everything done. but the correct command for Windows is CD then the location ware your adb and fastboot files are
Click on the link below and pick your Moto X by what carrier you are with
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215/action/auth
im going to try and do this the best i can but no matter what i do your going to have to go to the moto website to get the unlock key
download the SDK and install it.
locate ware it was installed normally (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk)
open Command Prompt and type
Code:
CD C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
put phone into bootloader
type below commands in CMD
type
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
it should come back with something like this
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
Now we need to remove all the (bootloader) and make the key into one line
we then need to paste this into the box on the bottom of the Moto unlock page and hit the button "Can my Device be Unlocked"
if your device can be unlocked you need to accept the license agreement and then click the button to request your key. It will then email you your unlock key.
Copy your unlock key then click the link Step 3
now if you left your device connected and everything ware it was then great if not we need to put are phone back into bootloader and open a CMD and CD it to the same directory as before.
then type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
ware Unique_key being the code you copied from your email.
now your bootloader is unlocked.
Sorry this guide is not great but it is the best i can do for the fact that you have to be on the moto website to get your unlock key. i hope this helps somewhat.
IMO, if you can't figure out Motorola's instructions, you should leave your phone as it is. There is nothing difficult about it, and learning how to do it will help you in the road should something happen to your phone and you need to recover.

When you get to the fastboot menu what option do you click Normal Powerup, Recovery, Factory, Barcodes, BP Tools?

Hi guys, I have a problem.
I want to flash my N1 with the Cyanogenmod, but I have a problem with Bootloader unlocking. I do exactly what here is written (in the N1 guide from wiki.cyanogenmod), but when I open CMD (win XP) and write "fastboot oem unlock", it just doesn't works, but "adb devices" works and shows my phone. What can I do ? Any ideas ?
You need to boot into bootloader to work with fastboot. And if "adb devices" shows your phone - you obviously didn't boot.
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also, for a more comprehensive guide, please read the Wiki.
Code:
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
'fastboot' is not recognized as a
operable program or batch file.
This is what it shows in bootloader mode.
P.S. I have already re-installed my drivers. I have to notice that when I try to reinstall the drivers (in fastboot mode), they always auto-install themselves and when I try to update them, they say that there isn't newer version.
Fastboot executable isn't in the same directory as ADB executable, and isn't in the path you're executing it from (which is C:\fastboot).
Check, what is the actual executable you're trying to run, and if you have one. It might be called fastboot-windows.exe, if you didn't get it from downloading the Android SDK.
There is a executable file named "fastboot-windows.exe", but when I try to run it, it just open and close for 1 second. Any ideas ?
I thought the message would be clear by now... Oh well.
Open command prompt.
Run:
fastboot-windows oem unlock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think It's done but my computer shows this message (see attached) 5 mins and I don't know it's ready or not ? Could I turn on the phone ? (Sry for the easy questions but I'm a real noob, because that's my 1st Android phone.)
The "too many links" message doesn't look good.
Reboot your computer.
Reboot the phone.
Use different USB port in your computer.
Ok well if you want my input try "fastboot devices" this should return your S/N (starting with "HT") if it gives you the same error then I would reinstall the SDK.
it won't let me see my desire in cmd to get my token for the HTC website to unlock my boot loader. I have downloaded HTC sync. Adb drivers but would t let me use it till I got java se JDK file did that then installed the SDK and still nothing in the cmd prompt. Need help cause I can't figure it out and is making me crazy

The steps are these, and are verified to work on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 (32 or 64):
1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold volume down, then hold power. This gets you into HBOOT.
3. Select Fastboot using the volume buttons, then tap power.
4. Plug the phone in, and you should see FASTBOOT USB. If not, make sure the adb drivers have installed.
5. Open a command prompt, and change to the directory you put the adb and fastboot files in.
6. Type: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
7. Select the key, and copy it. Download the file from your mail called unlock_code.bin.
8. Type (in the dosbox): fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin.
9. Arrow down to YES, press power. Your phone will be wiped, and will reboot.
10. Install the TWRP recovery, and mod away.
TIP: If you're doing a TON of adb and fastboot stuff (as I do), it's a good idea to drop these files in the %windir%\system32 directory. This way, you can type them without changing directories to the path they're in.
Hope this helps.
You must have S-OFF in order to be able to install this custom HBOOT.
What is it?
This is a hex-edited HBOOT (3.19.0.0000) that makes all the text (well, as much as possible) lowercase (as opposed to all uppercase, which is the default) and it removes the red warning text on boot. This is designed to be run on A11_CHL (I'm kinda new to this device. I literally just got it yesterday. I bought the Sprint variant, so I'm not sure what other variants this is compatible with).
Gimme teh download link plx
Okay, here you go.
I, personally, don't check the MD5 on things, but if I were you, I would double-check it, just to be safe.
How to install:
1) Download from the link above
2) Place your device in fastboot mode.
3) Plug your device into your PC, ensuring that you already have fastboot drivers installed (if needed).
4) Issue the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" via Command Prompt or Terminal
5) In that same window, issue the command "fastboot flash zip " (notice the space on the end there) then drag-and-drop the file you downloaded into the Command Prompt (or Terminal) window then hit enter. If nothing happened after you hit enter, click inside the Command Prompt (or Terminal) window and hit it again.
6) After the command completes successfully, issue the command "fastboot reboot".
7) Now, whenever you boot to hboot, your phone will no longer be yelling at you.

Hello!
I would like to tell you, how to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER on your HTC Desire 510. You need it to ROOT your phone, to install Recovery and to switch your Rom and so on. I TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT ALL WITH WINDOWS COMPUTER!!!!! Do backup, before doing UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, because your phone will be reset to factory default settings and this action may void your warranty. GET STARTED:
Step 1:
Download HTC Sync Manager and install it on PC. Link: htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
Download Java Runtime Environment and install it on PC. Link: java.com
Download adb.rar and extract files on the DISC C ( C:\ ). Link: docs.google.com/file/d/0B-smco0CRy_HUDl4WDhVaVlvamM/edit
Step 3:
Register you on this page. Link: htcdev.com
Step 4:
Go to home page there and log in.
Step 5:
After logging in click the button (UNLOCK BOOTLOADER) and then (GET STARTED).
Step 6:
You should select your device there, but you wouldn't find it. Because of that you should go under of this list and click (all other supported devices). When you did it, click (begin Unlock Bootloader). Then HTC Development will ask you (Are you sure you wish to continue) and click (Yes). Then accept all the terms and click (Proceed to Unlock Instruction).
Step 7:
I explain to you how to do this steps on the page HTC Dev on the HTC desire 510.
Power down your HTC Desire 510 and then take the battery out and in. Then press Volume Down and while pressing Volume Down, press Power holding both buttons to start the device into Bootloader mode. Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button. After it all connect the device to the computer via a USB cable.
Step 8:
Then click: (proceed to step 5).
Step 9:
I explain you again this steps on HTC dev.
Open a command Prompt on Windows: Go to Start, search cmd there and open it. Write there: cd c:\adb and click Enter. Then write: fastboot devices. If there come fastboot (and something like C12AREBSJ3), then it is OK. When not, then you hadn’t installed HTC sync manager or your PC don’t see your phone. When it comes, then go on. Write: fastboot oem get_identifier_token there and click enter. Then you will see a long block of text. Copy and paste this text into the token field below (in the Windows command prompt: Right Click > Mark > highlight the block of text > Right click to copy. Mac users can use cmd-option to mark and select text.).
When copying the token, start with this line:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
And end with this line:
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>
(Note: Only copy the highlighted sections above. Do not copy the INFO or (bootloader) prefix)
Then paste this string of text into the token field on the HTC dev page and hit Submit in order to receive your unlock code binary file. You will receive this information in your email.
Step 10:
Go to your email and download this file Unlock_code.bin on your computer. Move this file to the folder adb on the Disc C. Then write on command Prompt, on cmd: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and click enter. On your phone you will now see the disclaimer. Please read this carefully as this action may void your warranty. Use the Volume buttons to highlight your choice, and the Power button to make your selection. If you select Yes, your phone will be reset to its’ factory default settings, and your bootloader will be unlocked. If you select No, your phone will reboot and no modifications will have been made. It’s all. After rebooting you will have a Unlock bootloader.
GOOD LUCK!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good::good:

Bro. Major wall of text. This process was detailed over a year ago, twice.
Chimera Tool
Chimera Tool has just added a module for HTC (So far just 15 devices, including 510)
It includes an unlock/lock bootloader option that appears to skip the HTC DEV steps. (Will confirm this when I get my hands on one to play with this evening)
I have a full licence, however, it is likely this is one of the features enabled in trial versions
Prerequisites
Set up ADB and Fastboot on your computer. You can download the minimal ADB and fastboot tool from download section (unzip it).
Install Motorola USB Drivers on your computer.
Open Settings> Developer options and enable USB Debugging on your device.
Go to Developer options and enable oem unlock.
Remove Unlocked Bootloader Warning
Make sure you have setup ADB and fastboot on your PC.
Download the logo file and transfer the logo.bin file to some place you can track it easily. Its better if you use the folder where you setup the fastboot.
Power off your device and keep it unplugged from your PC.
Boot into bootloader. To do so, press and hold volume down and the power button for 5-6 seconds.
You will see the bootloader screen. Now plug in your device to the PC.
Navigate to the location of the logo.bin file. While the folder with the logo file is open, hold shift on keyboard and right-click on an empty space and select “Open command window here” option to launch a cmd window.
Now type the following in the command prompt to get a code.
Code:
fastboot flash logo removewarninglogo.bin
Now type the following in command prompt to reboot.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Download:
mfastboot_V2
removewarninglogo.bin
Thank you..
Thank you bro...:good:
Thank you. Got rid of that unlocked logo.
Thanks! Works!
Very Thanks! it Works also for Moto Play Z.
Do you know where i can find this for the moto g6 play? This work size was just off. Thank you.
Does it also remove this annoying "Hello Moto! "-sound during start-up?
If not, how to remove it? It is really annoying, especially to restart the device with people around ;facepalm;

Any method to do it without PC? TWRP style or something
anyone have a working pixel 2 bootlogo??? would like to have that FULL pixel experience (i know that answers on this is probably rare)
removewarninglogo.bin
Does anyone still have the removewarninglogo.bin file? MediaFire link won't let me download it.
Edit: found it on another thread.
