AT&T Retail and Verizon Retail will be the only versions that cannot be unlocked. There will be Developer Editions for North America (AT&T) and Verizon coming later.
Also, you could get the T-Mobile Retail version and have it SIM unlocked to work on AT&T.

Not moto's fault, just att's and verizon is going to do the same thing. They implement these backwards policies to make our lives harder and spend more money.
What does this warning message look like? I'm used to seeing the little unlocked lock symbol at the bottom when starting but those are Nexus devices.
Someone in the forums said it is possible but never gave me a link to how it's done. Can anyone confirm or deny that there is a way to unlock the bootloader for the Moto X XT1052?
I've done it so it definitely is possible. It's just like for all other models. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

Are you serious? With the European XT1052 model? I tried already and it said my bootloader cannot be unlocked :/
EDIT: Tried again just now and didn't work.

I am serious. Unlocked and rooted European XT1052 (retail Germany) without any problems. Did you put those strings together correctly?

That's weird as hell. Let me try again. Bought mine from the UK but it's still XT1052 so there shouldn't be any problems.

Yes, dhackers version http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/MotoX/
The ability to bootloader unlock is set generally set by the provider and not the model number of the phone. In North America the AT&T XT1058 can't be bootloader unlocked but several other providers who do sell the XT1058 do allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
I haven't see any official information from Motorola regarding European Moto X's but it is possible they can't all be bootloader unlocked.

I bought a UK XT1052, using in Oz, just got bootloader code. So it may be carrier specific as suggested?
Mine is locked too.. Just bought it at phone house / motomaker...

They ALL -come- locked. Even the Developer editions come locked from the factory. You must request the code from Motorola to unlock.
If you have issues, re-read the instructions, and TRY A DIFFERENT BROWSER. People have reported success after doing these two things:
1. Copy the "unlock data" from the command prompt/terminal into NOTEPAD, remove the spaces, and then copy the entire string from Notepad into the browser (on Moto's unlock website).
2. Use a different browser! I don't know how many posts I've seen where the user didn't have success on ABC browser, but it worked immediately when using XYZ browser.
Good Luck :good:
If I am reading everything correctly, the att version is xt1097 and has a locked bootloader. There is no way to unlock the bootloader and there is no root method for a moto x bought from att. Am I correct in this assumption? :crying:

Yes you are correct. The original Moto X (carrier locked) bootloaders can be unlocked using "Sunshine", there is a potential it will become available for the 2014 version in the future, but I don't think it will be anytime soon.
Secondly, there is no reason to get the AT&T version because rumor is Motorola is going to enable all the AT&T supported LTE bands in the Pure version: http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-x-pure-edition-xt1095-may-soon-get-more-lte-bands
I have the XT1058 on 4.4.4 and I have been having no luck in finding a way to unlock the BL. Is there anyway at all?

There is no way now.
Google says no, as does many posts in many threads on this forum.
It's because AT&T version is sim locked?

sIm Lock, aka carrier lock, has nothing to do with bootloader unlock.
To bootloader unlock, you need the unique code for the phone. Likely due to carrier contracts, Moto doesn't give out the bootloader unlock code for ATT, Verizon, or Republic Wireless, but does for many/most other carriers. At one point there was a web site in China and a Middleman who access to Moto's list or database of codes which included even those Moto didn't publicly make available (I.e ATT, VZW, RW) but that dried up a while ago. JCase found a vulnerability in the bootloader on the 2013 X, and came out with/updated his Sunshine tool with a hack exploiting that vulnerability to unlock the bootloader (without having the unique code) on the 2013 X too, but it doesn't work once the X has been upgraded to 4.4.4. Sunshine DOES work on the 2013 X if it has never been upgraded past 4.4.3.
Thanks for letting me know. I got the phone in August and it was on 4.4.3, but then I accidentally installed 4.4.4. If only I had known that I wouldn't be able to root it after that.... It really sucks because I really want Viper4Android on my Moto X.

Jcase has been teasing us with word of the next sunshine version working for 4.4.4. It was projected to release early January but they must not be done putting all their awesome into that sauce. Be patient and I bet you'll have an unlocked bl soon enough.
In an abundance of caution, I would probably hold off taking the lollipop update coming soon in case it patches whatever vulnerability they are exploiting.

4.4.3 or 4.4.2? because I wasn't aware that there was a 4.4.3 for ATT.
I checked it as soon as I got it and it was 4.4.3. A few days after, a notification for 4.4.4 popped up and I accidentally hit install. I got the phone August 10th, 2014.

Same problem with me too. Eagerly updated to 4.4.4. Now no option to unlock bootloader. Waiting for ota L update which seems to take long time in india. Hope sm1 cracksnthis case soon
I wonder if Android 5 will have an exploit or something to unlock the boot loader.

India? What model X do you have, and from what carrier?
Often times the 2013 X in EMEA has been an XT1052.
Have you tried checking Moto's home page to get the unlock code? https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth

Ya mine is XT1052 .I checked the site ,in find device section there's
moto xCanada / Rogers
Moto xUS / Sprint, USC, TMO
Moto x Latin America
Mine is Asian retail Indian model so how to find if unlocking is avbl?
If I proceed with (moto x US) and generate serial key of my phone using SDK tools and check for unlock bootloader in site, my phn won't get bricked or anything right? That's a doubt I have.

You should be able to use the same web site to get the bootloader unlock code, many others with the European and Asian XT1052 have been able to get their bootloader unlock code there.
If you get the code in an email, it will either work, or give you an error if its not the right code. It will not brick your phone.

See the one stop shop for root thread in general. Right at the top of the page.
All current root methods are there, based on device versions and state. ?
There is a untested way to unlock the bootloader but is very risky, you must open your device. Anyway if you are so brave to try this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-ultra-maxx-brick-recovery-t2830806 look at this guide at the second point, first you must drill the plate on the ram chip, you must short the right pin on your moto x to ground (i attach a photo,pointed by the orange arrow) then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057
THIS IS A VERY RISKY PROCEDURE: YOU CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!
I wouldn't. ^^^^
Lol
thankyou

I have an unlocked Moto G6 that I am trying to flash with Verizon firmware. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A google search has shown nothing.

What do you mean by unlocked. There bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim unlock just allows you to use another network. Bootloader unlock allows to to flash. Also there is no Verizon firmware to flash because the Verizon model can't be bootloader unlocked which means you can't flash it. Verizon and att are notoriously the worst when it comes to having there phones eligible to be bootloader unlocked

I guess it's SIM unlocked since I can pretty much use it with any carrier by swapping the SIM card. I bought the phone new and unlocked from Republic Wireless and am trying to get it working with full features with Verizon Prepaid. A couple of folks on Reddit mentioned that I could flash the phone with Verizon software in order to get it to work as if I'd bought the G6 from Verizon.
