I've tried several times (several different versions latest is the last version is 14.4.a.0.157) to remove the bootloader, I think its because I removed the bootloader earlier and than put it back (did that with the flashtool) on but the fastboot/phone still recognizes the earlier unlock because it hasn't been put back the correct way.

I think you dont know what you are actually doing.You are trying to unlock the bootloader.If you somehow really "remove" it, your device wont be able to boot.So I will assume you mean unlocking.
First, make sure your bootloader can be unlocked.Dial: *#*#7378423#*#*; then go to “Service info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status” and check if the “Bootloader unlock allowed” says yes. If the “no” answer will be displayed then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader of your device.
When you finish all the operations on the Sony site, you will receive an email with the unlock code.replace the word KEY with your code.
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
From the screenshot I think you are not typing the correct key in there.
Note:You have to be sure that you have proper ADB connection with your device.Be sure you have enabled ADB debugging and have fastboot and adb drivers on your PC.

I already did it I had to make a folder(Flashtool\custom\mydevices\(device id)) and a text file in it (ulcode.txt) with just the code in it in flashtool and it worked, and I do now what I'm doing I just used the wrong word. You don't want to know how many times I already did the above.
I have the exact same issue, driving me nuts. haha I am now back on stock installed via pc companion but i have no working nfc and can not get into stock recovery. If I root the device dual recovery is still installed.

Hello!
Well, i just got my hands on a Moto X 2014, already updated to Android MM 6.0.
Was trying to install TWRP through fastboot, but i keep getting this message:
"FAILED <data transfer failure <Unknown error>>"
I'm sure i have sdk tools properly installed, drivers downloaded, fastboot mode on the device working properly as well, and an unlocked device... So, i'm kinda new at this, and i'd appreciate your help very much!
Thanks!

Did you do that ?
First of all we need to enable Developer Option, USB Debugging and check 'Enable OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.

The device was already unlocked when I got it. Debugging and OEM unlocking checked since I started the whole process... Still don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Well, after a couple days i managed to install TWRP 3.0. I don't specifically know what was the problem, but i freed up some space on the device, changed USB cable and USB port on the computer, and.. that did the trick.
Thank you all so much for your replies!

You've posted some pictures, but that isn't telling anyone anything. Care to describe your problem?
And also make the title a bit more meaningful...?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=3708
3. Post using a clear and descriptive subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question, if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail, what your problem is and what you've done to try solving it.

Don't need to be a professional, just give us more specific info like:
What are you trying to install?
What version of Android are you on?
What, exactly, are the steps you've used so far?
We need as much detail as you can give

Your first mistake was in trying to use the toolkit. If you've never used fastboot before, learn to use it before trying to use a toolkit. In order to unlock you need to be in Android, need to enable developer options in settings, enable OEM unlock in developer options, shut off the N6, and then enter bootloader mode. Only then will fastboot oem unlock work.
Since you're in a bootloop, your immediate tasks are to enter the recovery and perform a factory reset. If those fix the bootloop, then follow the guidance above. Otherwise you need to flash one of Google's OTA zips through the recovery, then factory reset, and then follow the guidance above.
There are help guides in the general section that you want to read and understand, before you accidentally turn your N6 into a paperweight.

Thank you very much for help. Everything works perfectly. :good: I am very happy
So I found out the hard way. All I wanted was root, with everything else staying as is. Not looking to install custom roms just yet. Should have been possible, as it has been on almost every other phone. Simply unlocking the bootloader should NOT require an automatic factory reset. Just seems like a big middle finger for someone looking to try.
God damn no guide or even the motorola unlocking page made it clear that you will erase everything on your phone. Thanks very ****ing much. Pretty pissed at this point.
edit: So there is one line about losing media. Missed that, but just assumed simply unlocking the bootloader didn't require factory reset. Goddamnit.
Ouch.
Rooting is a time sucking blackhole; no telling where it will take you especially on the first trip. One reason I choose to run stock... not that didn't take time to optimize
Always backup your critical data redundantly using at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Androids rarely crash/burn or get infected but sooner or latter you will need that data.

Yep, missed that line somehow. Have been used to unlocking procedures that don't factory reset.
Moto's playing hardball with it's consumers. I can't get my unlock code, they refuse to give it to me, in the US. There recently had a update to the august security patch. Applied it, and it turned off my developer options, and unlock button, they don't play nice for people that want to root.

Hey, man - that's handy.
So im kinda stuck here. Found my old Honor 5C and thought i could try and root it and flash a new OS onto it. BUUUT it seems like i cant remember the phones password at all, which means i cant unlock it at all. I thought i could just boot into the recovery and factory reset it from there, but huaweis "eRecovery" doesnt allow me to reset anything, just "shutdown" or "update from internet" (which always fails). Then i thought i could just boot into fastboot and see if i could do something there, but no, every command i use results in a "Remote: command not allowed" (probably due to no USB-debugging authorization). So im not sure what else to try..
Cant access recovery reset, cant use fastboot because no usb-debug, cant turn on usb-debug since i dont know the password. ADB wont even recognize the phone in the recovery either, only in fastboot.
Hey there! Have you found a solution?

You will need to disassemble your device and short test point and connect your phone using usb.
Install Huawie USB COM 1.0 Drivers, Radmin VPN and USB Redirector on your computer.
I will unlock it remotely using Radmin VPN and USB Redirector software.

You have to short the test point as shown in the picture and I will unlock it remotely.
Maybe you could give me a hint and I will do it myself?

As the title says, I'm missing OEM Unlock options on my SM-X200 Device.
Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed with unlocking my bootloader?
No options presented in download mode too. (using either the volume+usb method, and the `adb reboot bootloader` method)
I've also tried the other methods for Samsung devices (enabling usb debug, disabling auto-time, setting the clock back, disabling auto-updates)
The tablet is set up with no accounts (FRP lock is off)

Not sure if this is the exact reason...but your Google Play Services is really old.
Update all Google/Samsung apps, reboot and see if it appears
I'm assuming your region's firmware allows you to unlock, but I'd double check about that as well.

You say you are setup with NO ACCOUNTS. Without a Google Account, there can be no FRP. That is why there is no OEM option.

Thanks for the reply, good spot! I've updated that now, but alas - no luck.
I'm within the UK/EU - I'm not sure where to look to find out that information.
I have other Samsung devices which have no problem with OEM Unlocking through the Dev Menu.
