Can't unlock Boot loader & can't root motoX xt1053

I have a moto x xt1053 that i can't open the Boot loader on Motorola web page, coz is not allowed for my device as Motorola support said to me, coz is not a dev edition.
I want to install CM11 or later, it is possible without opening the Boot loader?
TIA

What is your current android version? Have you looked at unlocking via sunshine?

Im on 4.4.4, i tried sunshine, and wrote with the supporter of sunshine and they told me they cant unlock it...

Sucks man sounds like you are screwed.

What carrier was it originally associated with? The XT1053 was used for T-Mobile in the US and was unlockable. I believe XT1053 was also used for the Dev Edition for AT&T in the US, while their retail edition was XT1058.
My friend has an XT1053 for T-Mobile that was not a developer edition, it was customized with Moto Maker and I unlocked it for him from the Motorola website.
Are you sure you have an XT1053?

Thats the same phone like your friend. My friend bought it online on the moto maker home page.
Well my friend tried many times but without success...
Can you give me some advice... @fury683 TIA

If it's Tmobile, keep trying the Moto unlock site. It is very glitch send can take many tries. ?

The non-Developer Edition XT1053 was also bootloader Unlockable via Moto's web site but it voids the warranty.
If your XT1053 is the "GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM)" or "GSM unlocked (ships with Net 10 SIM)" it should still be bootloader unlockable via Moto's web site.
A few things...
Try a different browser. If you are using Chome, try IE instead, or vice versa.
Take the output from the get_unlock_data command, and paste it into NOTEPAD (if you use windows) on your PC... Turn Word Wrap OFF. Edit out the spaces and any carriage returns so the string is one single line, and then copy the edited string to the clip board to paste into the web site.
If the phone is less than a week old, keep trying. There have been issues/delays with the codes being available on the Moto web site.
Try signing into the Moto site using the original email address used to purchase the phone (i.e. your friend purchased, then have your friend use his/her email to try requesting the code)
Call Moto's support. If they refuse to help, or tell you that you can't unlock your bootloader, point them to -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 which says the T-Mobile X (XT1053) CAN be bootloader unlocked (but voids the warranty).
Take a look at this thread in the Peer to Peer Moto Owners forum -> https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875

Thanks for your time.
I checked the peer to peer forum but my CID is different, its not on the list. Mine is 0x09.
I already contacted 2 different moto customer support, i gave them the IMEI code and they told me its not unlockable, because its not dev edition. The also said the unlockable boot loader program is only for dev edition.
Xda was my last hope because the official way didn't brought me anyway further.
Sorry for my bad english, and hope you guys have still some tips for me

0x0009 is on the list in the Owners forum (0x0009 = 0x09) as being UNLOCKABLE (is in the list on the left). The list on the left says "Your device is unlockable if the CID value returned is" and 0x09 is under that headding.
ANd the reps told you WRONG. Their web site lists Rogers Canada, they use the XT1058. For USA it lists Sprint (which is XT1056), USC (is XT1055 i think), and TMO (is definitely XT1053 but not considered Dev Edition).
There are only TWO Developer Editions... GSM and "for Verizon". Verizon is an XT1060. There is NO Dev Edition for Sprint, USC, Rogers Canada, or Latin America, yet those are listed on -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 as being UNLOCKABLE.
Please follow the instructions on the Moto Owners Forum. Do the steps and post the info. See what they say.

Finally we unlocked it. It took us some time chatting with moto supporters till 2AM in the morning but we did it.
Thanks a lot guys

Sorry to bother you again but do you have any tips on how to root it now. The phone its on 4.4.4. Can i just use CF-Autoroot or do i have to downgrade to 4.4.2? I have read that downgrading brings to Precam brick...
What do you recomand me?
TIA

1. Download the latest SuperSU.zip onto the phone or computer
2. download a recovery onto a computer
3. Flash the recovery in bootloader using fastboot
4. Boot into recovery using the Vol+ button to select option
5. If SuperSU.zip was downloaded to computer, use adb to push the zip file to /sdcard flash SuperSu.zip. If not, skip to step 6.
6. Flash SuperSU.zip in recovery
7. Reboot into system
Remember what having an unlocked bootloader allows you to do, this process isn't much different from any other device with an unlocked bootloader. Why would you do anything other than the steps I listed above with an unlocked bootloader? Read up on what downgrading can and will do to our phone.

You have to keep in mind there are some old threads for those with LOCKED bootloaders who want to root which will not apply to you. Some of those OLDER processes recomend downgrading, BUT that was only safe during the SlapMyMoto process (downgrading from 4.4 to 4.2.2 w/camera due to NOT CHANGE in the bootloader and gpt.bin). Once 4.4.2, 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 is on your phone, DOWNGRADING IS NOT SAFE!!! AND NOT RECOMMENDED!!!! due to the high rate of bricks it has caused.
After unlocking your bootloader, the best way to root is to see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-unlocking-t2649738/post54796193#post54796193

XT 1058 Rogers 4.4.4 refuse to get sim unlocked?

Guys as stated above, I purchased an unlock key but it always comes back as unsuccessful. Idl like to ask what ussd code work on moto x to see what is in there. And if anyone successfully beat this prob.
Phone is bootloader unlocked and all stock.
Thanks
getvar info

Where did you purchase your code from?
Exactly what steps are you taking to sim unlock?

I purchased a code from a third party unlocker I used many times before. i spoke to Rogers and the imei is definitely not black listed or on any blocked list. Moto says that if I get both option to enter sim lock and dismiss it, phone is not hard locked.
Not sure what gives, as soon as i eject the sim and put it back on Moto x asks for sim network unlock code, i input it and I get network unlock request unsuccessful. There is no countdown on tries being displayed. It gets back to asking for code.

Not sure, other than possibly having a wrong, or incomplete code?

yeah that is a possibility I am working to eliminate by trying to request another code from a different vendor.

a shot in the dark here:
Could flashing a different radio reset the hard lock? assuming the moto x i have is hard locked.
If say flashing xt 1053 radio on xt 1058 is not risky, I can give it a shot to see if i can get sim unlocked, the revert back to xt 1058 radio.
Thoughts please

I haven't kept up on which radios it is safe to "cross flash" to another model phone. So I really can't advise you.
I do know XT1052 isn't compatible with xt1053. and flashing an XT1052 with xt1053 radio will cause the radio to stop working. (as I've seen posts about this).

Only thinking of resetting the hard lock if it is hard locked, and reverting back to xt 1058 radio.

Did you ever try the flashing to XT1053 followed by XT1058 ROM trick? Just curious because my 1058 can't seem to get unlocked and I'm not sure if it's because it's hardlocked or the code is wrong (though both AT&T and a 3rd party vendor provided the same code).

I no longer have that xt1058, that thing was stubborn as hell. I didnt flash all xt1053 rom however i remember flashing like radio i believe. No matter what I did, that thing was shut, unable to get unlocked.
You case is like mine, code is correct but cant get unlocked. Your best bet is to talk to the carrier if you can and if you are a subscriber coz otherwise they ll play ping pong with you. They ll send you to Moto and Moto will send you to the carrier if the phone is branded.
Good luck man

Error when i try to unlock my Moto x

Hi. I have the Moto X xt1058 (AT&T) and I bought the code on 2 different pages. In one them they gave me 2 codes to try and when I tried to put the codes the phone showed an error to unlock the network and then in the other page they gave me the same 2 codes. I've reseted the phone and it keeps showing me the same error when I try to unlock it.
I have android system 4.4.4 stock.

I thought AT&T unlocked phones if you requested it due to that law that was put into effect for global capable phones?

I don't know how to do that process and I have another moto X from AT&T which I unlocked by buying the unlock code on a page.

very often its not working because custom ROM or custom baseband flashed, so please make sure that your phone is completely stock

its completely i updated by OTA to 4.4.4

First, you can try -> https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/?#/ it appears by the conditions that even NON-ATT customers can request the SIM/Carrier unlock code now.
Also, there was discussion about some SIM or Carrier Unlock codes not working on devices with a particular series of IMEI numbers... I don't know the specifics because I don't have an ATT X. See -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/sim-unlock-moto-x-gens-t3011662 and start around Post #21 for more details, and more importantly post #31 of that thread for a possible resolution.
And be careful, I'm not sure how many attempts you get to enter the SIM/Carrier unlock code.

i try here https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/?#/ but dont work cuz said me: "Error: We found no record of the IMEI Number you entered. Check your device's 15-digit IMEI Number by dialing *#06# (errorCode.ULP2003)"
i bought another unlock code on ebay... i will try again

That's SIM unlock, not bootloader.
There's no official support from anyone on either side, AT&T or Motorola, for unlocking the bootloader on the XT1058. In fact if you call them and ask, they'll just tell you "no".
Furthermore, even senior developers for the platform like jcase have said that unlocking the bootloader on the XT1058 running KitKat 4.4.4 is more-or-less impossible (at the moment).

Was your subject line ATTN: Donald Hicks - Global Leader Service Operations as stated in that post?
Did HE reply? or someone from Moto support? Did they explain why they can't help?

This:
Hello Starling,
Thank you for contacting Motorola. Unfortunately, as SIM issues are largely carrier-related, the spectrum of assistance we have to offer on the manufacturer's side of things is rather limited. When trying to use the subsidy unlock code to unlock your device, are you trying this with the new SIM card or the old one in your device? You should input the subsidy unlock code with the new SIM card if you have not already done so and try it again. If you have reset the device and you're still experiencing the issue, you will likely need to contact AT&T about this issue and they can look into things more fully on their end. The IMEI of your device shows as valid in our system, so if AT&T is having an issue with it, that would be on their end and you would also need to contact them about that. If you would be more comfortable with it, either a member of our tech support team or myself could reach out to you and make a conference call with AT&T to get this resolved for you as well.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed and I will assist you to the best of my ability.
Thank you for choosing Motorola and have a great day!
Cas
Motorola Mobility

Getting used VZW Moto-X - want root - What to look for?

Hi All,
I currently have an XT1053 on Lycamobile (T-Mobile MVNO). I rooted it when I got it, have a custom recovery, ROM, xposed framework, XPrivacy, titanium backup. It's been 1.5 years so I'm rusty on how I did it before.
I'd like to move to Verizon pre-paid so I'm looking to buy a used phone. I want to end up with the same capabilities - root, custom ROM, etc.
I'm thinking I should get a Dev edition Verizon Moto-X so that I can get the unlock code from Motorola. In order to reduce chances of issues/bricking, is there are particular version of Android the phone should already have? Anything else I should be looking for?
Thanks,
Mark

From what I have been able to find by looking at a bunch of threads, it looks like I need to look for a Developer phone with Android 4.4.2.
What else am I maybe missing?
Thanks,
Mark

For the Dev Edition it doesn't matter what version you're on, you can root no matter what.

The only reason you would need 4.4.2 for easy unlocking is if you were on a non-developer edition phone and were using Sunshine. Dev editions can be unlocked, flashed, and rooted quite easily. Non-developer editions though, you want to be on an earlier release of Android, although there is a root method for 4.4.4 now, so you may still be able to unlock the bootloader.

Unlocking the bootloader is needed to run a custom rom, custom recovery, etc. and to ensure the ability to root no matter what ROM is on your phone.
Stick with a Developer Edition XT11060 for Verizon. You can get the bootloader unlock code directly from Motorola, for free.
If you get a RETAIL or Moto Maker variant, so long as the phone was never updated to 4.4.4 or higher, you can use Sunshine to unlock its bootloader. BUT Sunshine relies on exploiting a vulnerability to unlock the bootloader. There has been some question on if the vulnerability will be patched in Lollipop and could that pose any issues for those who used Sunshine to unlock. Will it re-lock them or will the unlocked status survive, etc? I have not seen a definitive answer.
While there is a ROOT method for a certain 4.4.4 build for non-Dev Verizon XT1060, that wont allow you to flash a custom rom or recovery, and it doesn't turn off write protection so there are some limits.

Thanks Gents, very helpful.
Is there any downside to getting a Moto X Developer that is already rooted? I'd still be able to contact Motorola for the unlock if I needed it again, right?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for bringing this up OP. I have a Verizon Note 4 and quite frankly I'm tired of the size and it's the longest I've been without root. Not to mention the lag with the TouchWiz lollipop build is driving me crazy. I now want a smaller (sorry Nexus 6) bootloader unlocked rootable android phone. After getting a pre-paid moto g to play around with I'm digging the smaller size and the resolution is more than acceptable. The Moto G should be even better.
I initially looked at the 2014 X but Verizon never released a developer model. My only hesitation to the 2013 is Android M. Is that coming to the 2013 X? And do people here have experience buying refurbished 2013 developer Xs from ebay. Pretty cheap around $110 to $150.

To clarify - if I get phone that's already unlocked because the previous owner got the code from Motorola, would I be able to contact Motorola in the future for the unlock code if I needed to re-unlock the phone or do they only give that out once?

People often get SIM unlocked (aka carrier unlocked) confused with bootloader unlocked when someone just says "unlocked"
The Verizon XT1060, Developer Edition or Retail/Moto Maker are SIM Unlocked (aka carrier unlocked) out of the box due to FCC 700 C-Block rules.
All 2013 X's ship as bootloader locked. The ATT XT1058, Republic Wireless XT1049 and Verizon Retail/Moto Maker XT1060 editions can not get the bootloader unlock code from Moto. The rest, including the Developer Edition XT1060 for Verizon, CAN.
Once bootloader unlocked using the code from Moto, the phone will stay that way unless you re-lock it. However, keep in mind there are 3 states of the 2013 X bootloader Locked Status 0 (as it ships from factory), Unlocked Status 3 (after you unlock via the code), and LOCKED Status 2 (aka relocked). We as users can not toggle it back to Status 0. Because we can't get back to Status 0, there is no real reason to try and relock. The "bootloader unlocked" warning message shows when status is NOT 0. *IF* you buy a used XT1060 Dev Edition where the previous owner as re-locked the bootloader, you will need the code to unlock it. The codes are unique to each phone.
I have no experience requesting the bootloader unlock code from moto for a USED phone, so I can't be of any help answering that question.

I purchased a used xt1060 dev that the previous owner had relocked the bootloader....not sure why. I was able to get a unlock code from Motorola no problem.

Thanks, all!
I have my used Dev Moto X Verizon on order and look forward to the XDA fun when I get it

If that's all you want root for, I would recommend not doing it. Use your launcher to go to the "app info" for the app you don't like and tap "disable."

Not really, especially if you're not concerned about passing safetynet, and judging from the nature of your request I'm assuming that you aren't. If your bootloader is already unlocked (I'm assuming you meant bootloader unlocked in your OP and not SIM unlocked), you can do it by following sections 2-3 of this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

I wouldn't assume that. I think he is saying carrier unlocked since he's using it on T-mobile network (MetroPCS) -- which doesn't matter as all Verizon LTE phones are carrier unlocked since 2012. (except for prepaid, but this was a postpaid phone).

All Verizon postpaid (contract) phones are now carrier unlocked as of 2012, due to agreement with the FCC for extra LTE bandwidth. Many eBay sellers will still say "unlocked" just because people remember how previously Verizon locked their phones to only work with Verizon. So, saying your Verizon phone is carrier unlocked/sim card unlocked is not really necessary, and implies you are saying "bootloader unlocked'.
IF it is bootloader unlocked, what is your status code on the bootloader screen? If your phone is already bootloader unlocked, will be very easy to root.
If your bootloader is NOT already unlocked, you are out of luck at this time. Sunshine does not yet work with the current firmware you have on the phone. It worked with all firmware from November 2015 until the most recent was released (March 2017), so you could have unlocked your Droid Turbo anytime prior to the most recent update (March 2017). Sunshine is working on an update, so all hope is not lost.
If you had stayed on the previous firmware, you could have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. (again, I'm assuming your bootloader is not unlocked.) Tell us the status code on the bootloader screen, and you will know for sure.
With Motorola phones you have to unlock the bootloader to root. I know people say, "But I just want root!". Gotta unlock the bootloader first. With other phones like LG, that can frequently be bypassed (LG G2, LG G3), but not with Motorola phones.

I wouldn't assume that. I think he is saying carrier unlocked since he's using it on T-mobile network (MetroPCS) -- which doesn't matter as all Verizon LTE phones are carrier unlocked since 2012. (except for prepaid, but this was a postpaid phone).

True. You know what they say about assuming...

Not really, especially if you're not concerned about passing safetynet, and judging from the nature of your request I'm assuming that you aren't. If your bootloader is already unlocked (I'm assuming you meant bootloader unlocked in your OP and not SIM unlocked), you can do it by following sections 2-3 of this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

i have build number MCG24.251-5-5 and the guide says ??
1. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. If it says SU4TL-44, SU4TL-49 or MCG24.251-5, skip to section 1 of this guide. If it says MCG24.251-5-5, you are probably out of luck. This guide will not work for you. If it says anything else, continue reading.

Guide is now updated for -5-5.

I disconnected the battery also for 30 mins still stuck in the boot loop and idea?
Step 9 my phone will not come out of the endless boot loop i have hooked up to pc and command fastboot oem config fsg-id "" said okay finished total time 0.014 , then i went to restart phone and it boot loop of death?
9. !!!FOR MCG24.251-5-5 ONLY!!! Sunshine will reboot your phone automatically, and it will go into a bootloop. This is normal. Don't panic. Hold down the volume down button until the phone goes into bootloader mode. Plug your phone into the computer, start Minimal ADB and Fastboot (see Section 0 for link if you didn't have to install it before this point), and enter the command fastboot oem config fsg-id "". This will disable the temporary root exploit. Reboot your phone normally, and everything should be happy again.
