Rooted Sprint MOTO X SBF

I was trying to bypass the handsfree activation screen on my XT1056 but met with no success until someone suggested that I manually delete the SprintOMADM2.apk file. That did the trick but in order not to jump through hoops next time he (samwathegreat) also suggested that I extract the system.img from the phone and use it next time for other phones. So I went a step further to RDS Lite the phone to factory, rooted, installed busybox, flashed philz recovery and extracted the system.img after renaming the SprintOMADM2.apk to a bak file. I now used 7zip to modify a copy of the Sprint 4.4.2 SBF I had on my laptop to include the extracted system.img, a logo.bin file that removes the unlocked bootloader warning and also modified the xml file to remove the getvar line. I flashed it on another bootloader unlocked RW MOTO X and all went well. It became a stock rooted Sprint MOTO X essentially, and no handsfree activation screen, no unlocked bootloader warning.
I just want to share, in case anyone might come across a need for it. However, I will not be responsible for any damage to your phone by using this file. Backup before using as this will essentially wipe your device.
Let me just say this clearly here. This is only for you if you want to use the SIM unlock on a RW MOTO X XT1049, hence the need to transform your RW XT1049 to a Sprint MOTO X.
YOU MUST BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED TO USE THIS​
Here is the link:
Rooted Sprint MOTO X 4.4.2 SBF (with busybox and unlocked bootloader warning removed)

Just so I understand this, once I flash this to an unlocked RW phone, it becomes a sprint phone and I cannot use it on Republic thereafter? In other words, I can use it only on sprint (or any BYOSD carrier) from now on?

If Sprint will activate the ESN for you, fine. But if not, you can use the SIM unlock on it and use it on GSM. You cannot use the SIM unlock on your RW Moto X without installing a Sprint ROM on it, so this makes it easier. Rooted, unlocked bootloader warning removed.

They won't. It will, however, allow you to use it on another CDMA carrier, such as PagePlus if you follow the relevant instructions in the "Flash Moto X to Page Plus" thread. Page Plus (and some other CDMA carriers) will absolutely allow you to activate it.
Also, @ezeuba : any suggestions for Vivjen in the Sim-Crack thread? They are getting some kind of "call barring" error that I haven't seen previously. I'm guessing the instructions just weren't followed correctly....

is this ok to use on a sprint moto x on a gsm network in europe? is sim unlocked, but i hate the damn handsfree activation thingie.
thanks.

Sure. Just redo the SIM unlock thing again. Shouldn't be much stress. This takes away the handsfree activation prompt, removes the bootloader unlock warning and also comes rooted already. Let us know how it went.

Great. Thanks

G4 newbie here, so the bootloader is fully unlocked on the T-Mobile version then? You don't have to do the official LG Developer unlock method that currently only the 815 EUR model can do?
When ROMs drop, you have full access to the phone? Just want to confirm, I had a non EUR model on AT&T that worked great, but was sick of not having any access to the system. Does the H811 have the bands required for AT&T?

Fully unlocked. No LG dev stuff.

Question to anyone willing to answer:
How did people figure out that enabling OEM unlock made the bootloader be unlocked on the T-Mobile variant? I'm wondering because we have very little info on the H812 variant to determine if this technique would work. And please don't give me that canned answer "IT ONLY WORKS ON H815 and H811", as I know what I'm doing... I just want to understand why the H811 T-Mobile is different and if other more obscure variants could also have this solution.
Thanks!

I Attempted to flash the twrp one click recovery to my friends LG G4 H811 TMOBILE, I went to developer mode, checked the box to OEM UNLOCK, and whenever the phone reboots to Fastboot or Download mode, if done by the H811 one click bat script, the phone only reboots regularly, if i manually adb reboot-fastboot then the screen shows a barcode, and the phones IMEI number. Whats up with this?

The H811 Tmo is different because the carrier, TMO, decided to allow it to be unlocked. That is pretty much all there is to it. I am sure that is frustrating to non H815 and H811 owners.

The first post in that thread says:
"T-Mobile USA LG G4 H811 10H. WILL NOT WORK ON 10N."
I have the 10N. I also don't have a Windows computer. Where can I find instructions for obtaining root? (I prefer a manual method using Linux commands if possible.)

How to unlock your bootloader T-Mobile only as far as I know

** Unlocking the bootloader will WIPE your device!**
Update:
Tmo is unlockable
Sprint is unlockable
ATT is NOT
Verizon is NOT (Shocker!)
So I just got my phone and the very first thing I did was unlock the bootloader! It's very very easy..
1. Enable Dev Options and enable OEM unlock as well as USB debugging. If you don't know how to do that, what are you doing here? ?
2. Goto: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
3. Agree to all the fun stuff then sign into your Motorola account. I used the handy sign in with Google button. Download and install the Motorola drivers as Motorola uses there own fastboot driver for some reason.
4. Open a command window and type adb reboot bootloader
5. If you have ever unlocked a HTC bootloader this will be easy for you. Put in the command it tells you into a command prompt then copy the entire string.
6. There is a option on the website that lets you paste it and it automatically cuts the unnecessary stuff out for you.
7. Paste the new string into the box, agree to the terms and in about 5 min you will get a email with your unlock code
8. Type fastboot oem unlock ^paste your code here^
9. You should receive a message saying your bootloader was unlocked.
10. Restart bootloader and confirm!

This is awesome news! I went back to best buy and ended up getting one through AT&T, currently typing on it now. I'm hoping the process will be as straight forward with the AT&T model. I'll give it a go when I get home and report back.

Looks like AT&T is locked down. After going through the above steps on Motorola's site. "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

You got it straight from Verizon? I'm only asking because I got mine from Motorola and I'm wondering if than boot loader can be unlocked .

I got my T-Mobile Z2 Force and was easily able to unlock the bootloader using the same method thru Motorola website. I was also able to confirm that "TWRP 3.1.1 albus" for Z2 Play does NOT work on this phone, it just freezes. For the love of god please someone get this phone rooted so I can delete all the startup crap and have a clean phone. Thank you in advance.

Sweet then hopefully some custom roms

It looks like we don't need custom recovery to install Magisk root anymore. The biggest problem now is that we don't have a kernel image for our current roms. Moto still hasn't released kernel source for the Moto Z2 Play yet so I'm not super hopeful about getting ours anytime soon. Betting we don't get it until after Android O is available.

Does Moto X4 bought through Project Fi have unlocked bootloader?

I'm assuming all X4's not bought though a traditional Carrier (US) are unlocked, but after some googling, I still haven't seen any confirmation.

generally speaking android one devices are allowed to unlock till now. I dont know if this time google prohibited it or not. But MI A1 is android one device and is easily unlocked using simple
fastboot oem unlock

command. So may be moto x4 android one edition is easy to unlock

"Unlocked" could be a couple things, of course...
With respect to bootloader, every other Fi device has been unlockable, so I would assume that trend will continue.
And, according to the Fi twitter account, an X4 purchased through Project Fi will not be carrier-locked, so should work on any network.

We're dealing with 3 different things:
1) Carrier unlocked. I would assume that yes, this phone is carrier unlocked. Meaning if you want to ditch Fi and move to another PAYG or carrier, you can.
2) Bootloader unlocked. This is almost certainly NOT unlocked, as every phone comes out of the factory with a locked bootloader.
3) Bootloader unlockable? Can it be easily unlocked for ROMs and kernels and modding etc? Probably.

Just ordered a X4 from the Fi store. It says estimated delivery on Nov 1.

That toggle doesn't unlock the bootloader. But rather allows the bootloader to be unlocked. You will still need to follow the steps above to get yourself an unlock code from Motorola.

How to find firmware Compatibility - Moto G6.

I have a straight talk Moto g6 which is not bootloader unlockable according to the Motorola site for bootloader checking. My question is how do you know which firmware would be potentially compatible? Because I was thinking that if I found one close enough I could possibly "trick" my current firmware which is straight talk branded and possibly flash a new bootloader which might enable to achieve an unlock. If anyone has any knowledge on that or how to achieve it I would appreciate your input. Thank you for reading.

Curious to know your model number? Should be similar to Xt1926-7. Without being unlocked, you can't modify system partition so I believe you might be out of luck. I'd try the command to unlock just to see if you get lucky. It should simply fail with an error message if it doesn't work. It shouldn't brick the device. I do wonder if blankflash might be of use in this case but not sure. If you can also throw in a link to the specs of that specific model, it would help.

The model number is XT1925DL. Build number is OPS27.104-15-15. It is the 3GB ram and 32 GB internel storage. Thats all i could find out for this model. And this is what i got for the unlock command. I believe its the one you were referring to. Im not sure if it was successful because it said it was supposed to erase user data.

I believe you are correct. Unfortunately they wont give it to me because its says my device is not eligible to be bootloader unlocked. Wish there was another way to bootloader unlock it. Or maybe some other way to get the code. Although im pretty sure that isn't possible. Maybe there is a way maybe not. I will just have to do more research.

Not sure it matters but your command is wrong. Try this: fastboot oem get_unlock_data
Should look like this:
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00

(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
The command you are using is to unlock the bootloader not get the unlock code(my fault I wasn't clearer).

Even if you aren't on the list of eligible devices, you can still request it. Only ten percent of the unlockable phones are on that list. Get your unlock info and request an unlock key on Motorola's website anyway. It'll probably work

To my knowledge Verizon is the only carrier that blocks it. Seems very un T-Mobile like to block it. Times change but when the LG G3 was released T-Mobile variant was the only one that could be unlocked for sure. Verizon was locked, AT&T was mixed results I believe, Sprint variant was locked I believe but who cares about sprint anyways [emoji14]

You're right. I'm thinking of cricket. And that's only what I've read in the forums. T Mobile is unlocked

I've just found out my bootloader is Verizon based. Which means that it's a no go for unlocking it. Unless someone else can think of a way or find an alternative route to generate an Motorola unique key. Which I'm pretty sure it can only be done by them. I may be wrong though.
