Well that depends on what model you are referring to... Since you've been a member here for almost 4 years, you should know to include that kind of information when asking a question like this

Hi guys, I have a C6906 from Rogers that I SIM unlocked for AT&T. I checked and the bootloader is locked, is there any way to by pass the lock or is it totally locked for good?
I'm wondering the same... Bought my Z1 full price from Rogers and now I'm stuck with locked bl

Yeah sucks pretty bad... I'm thinking there is but since most developers got the phone unlocked no one has really looked into it
Look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653896

If you're talking about a "bootloader unlock allowed: no" related issue, then your only possible solution involves the test-point above the battery (as outlined in this post) and some custom software by the developers of SEtool, and I have no idea if this will actually work, but most likely nothing else ever will.
Hi
On ebay one excellent condition moto x is listed.its xt1058 model.I am from india and planning to buy this.But can i unlock it?if i can, will all the functions work after unlocking?also will i receive all moto x updates on this?Or if there are any other problem i can face after unlocking a phone,please elaborate.?
One more question in my mind why mint conditions carrier locked phone are available in larger quantitites in usa.Is something fishy about these phones?
Seller has large quantities like 30 phones to sell all mint conditions xt1058 at and t models.From where such phones come in large quantities?
If its an ATT XT1058 it can be SIM unlocked, but not Bootloader unlocked (unless you can use the Chinese Website/MiddleMan).
The other questions, I can't answer.
[Q] huh? Belongs in "Q & A" section. Sorry, not trying to be an ass. Rules are rules...that's one of the simplest.

I have no first-hand experience buying sim-unlock codes, so I can't recommend one personally. If you search the Moto X forums, there are a few different ones mentioned that users claim to work.

While SIM locked, you can only use ATT SIMs in the phone. After you SIM unlock you can use the SIM from other GSM carriers. I do no know what GSM and LTE bands your carrier uses, so I can't speak to how well the ATT XT1058 will work on your carrier once SIM unlocked.
I don't know if you will receive updates with the ATT XT1058 when using it on a different carrier.
There are many sources on the internet selling the SIM unlock code for ATT Moto X (XT1058).
Bootloader unlocking allows you to easily root and disable write protection, as well as flash 3rd party or "after market" recoveries and roms. There is only one source for Bootloader unlock code for the ATT XT1058, and that is in the Chinese Website/Middleman threads in the general section here.
I've been reading and it seems there are certain build numbers that can't be rooted or unlocked. Can someone spell out for mewhat I need to look for when purchasing a s5 so that I can unlock and root it? Thanks in advance.

It is the AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5's that can't be bootloader unlocked. This is also the reason why you aren't able to root as easily either.
So if I buy an unlocked device, I'll be good?

No. You need to get the phone from Tmobile (tmobile version). Both ATT and Verizon has bootloader locked.

You need to buy a T-Mobile or international device those bootloaders aren't locked
Motorola X4 Models :
-XT1900-01 USA Carrier Friendly / Project Fi Model
-XT1900-07 Amazon Alexa Model
I spoke to Motorola to find out model numbers and if the 01 Model is Bootloader Unlockable, and unfortunately it is not.
what? then how come is root only tested and working allegedly on xt1900-1? I'm getting so confused haha. I only know mine is xt1900-6.
The bootloader is unlockable on the XT1900-01
I want to get this phone, but I'm afraid of getting the wrong phone for Verizon and getting stuck with a locked bootloader phone.

Yes hope for the best.
From what we've been able to discern from testing is just the opposite of what the CS agent told you. The Amazon version is the one you can't unlock the bootloader (probably because they are afraid you can disable the lock screen ads that way). Nobody's paid Amazon yet to remove them (apparently you can pay the difference between the "with ads" version and the regular retail price if you want Amazon to remove them), so we don't know if that enables bootloader unlock or not.

I'm pretty certain there is no Verizon version of the X4.
AFAIK, in the US there are three versions:
Amazon Prime Ads
Android One
Unlocked for all major carriers

I didn't mean to imply that any version of the X4 would not work on Verizon. My wife has the US Unlocked X4 and we use Verizon.
I mean to say that Verizon does not sell the X4. There is no Verizon branded X4, that I know of.
I have the Amazon version with ads and Alexa but my model# is :XT1900-1
Will I be able to unlock the bootloader?

Follow the instructions on this website (to see if it can be unlocked) - You don't have to actually unlock the device.

Report back here and let us know. I have the XT1900-1 and I unlocked the bootloader.

So let me get this straight, I could buy the Google Fi version and pop my Moto x pure Sim card in and activate the phone on Verizon's network correct?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a SM-T707 on ebay. would I be able to put android 7 on or would I be stuck with 6?
thanks.
T707 what?
The letter is important. It's likely it will be a carrier bootloader locked device and therefore not customisable.
