i have the uk xt1072 4g is it possible to unlock bootloader as when i try it says device not qualified for bl unlock, and when i spoke to motorola they looked at the unlock data and said the moto g 2nd gen 4g is not supported yet for bootloader unlock?
any help is appreciated as phone feels useless with locked bootloader i just want to achieve root access
My device cid is 0x007 which i should be able to unlock
Here are a lot of XT1072 users with a rooted phone. As this is only possible with an unlocked bl the statement of motorola can´t be true.
If your cid says "able to unlock" it should be able to unlock. Is it a retail phone? Have you deleted all the seperators in the key before pasting it to the motorola page?
Maybe look for a XT1072 user here on XDA and ask if he has any problems.
Yh should be straight forward so annoying pretty sure im entering key correctly not sure what issue is

It is unlockable, try to copy every line manually and make sure u don't have spaces somewhere.
I have a similar issue with the xt1072 (0x007). Motorola says it is unlockable and I got some unlock key but if I want to unlock the phone with fastboot oem unlock KEY it is not possible to unlock. There is a message: unlock not possible enable oem unlock in the developer menu. But there is no option in my developer menu for enabling oem unlock.
Is it possible to get the developer menu option back or to enable oem unlock on a other way?

I resolved my issue with first doing a factory reset, see www_androidpit_com / how-to-factory-reset-the-moto-g-2014 and after that I have this options and unlocking the bootloader works like a charme.

Ok so sorry if this has already been posted but I can't find anything. This is my first attempt at rooting. I am trying to root my 2014 Moto x. I am on US cellular so I believe the model is XT1093. Not sure though as this seems to be missing from settings in lollipop. I tried a root tutorial for xt1097 but did not work. There is no OEM unlock setting in my Developer options. I think I have to unlock my bootloader through Motorola but havn't been successful.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got the same problem here I think it's a US Cellular problem with what they eliminated from lollipop but I can't be sure looking everywhere but can't find any answers. I wish we could get some help with this though would love to unlock and root this thing.
Yea, I think your right about it being a US Cellular thing. No one else seems to have the problem and US Cellular is a unique model number (XT1093 vs 1095 or 1097). Iv tried to unlock the bootlader through motos web cite which should work but I'm having some difficulties. I entered the info from my device, it said it was able to be unlocked and gave me the unlock key. but when I entered the key I got an error. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or they are.. Still working on it..

What command are you using to unlock your bootloader with the key? And what error are you getting?
I've tried the unlock method from Motorola. It all works until it prompts you to check the box in developing. options that says unlock oem functions. On the 1093 in lollipop the dev. option is not there. Also tried the tool kit in this forum that is made for non pure phones... It works great... even tells you your phone is unlocked but it doesn't finish. What I mean is it doesn't reboot your phone and the phone is still locked. Really frustrating ? Any help or ideas are very welcome. PLEASE HELP!
Is there a way to root the phone without unlocking? Cause if we could... We could try a different rom and see if from there we could find the unlock box in the developer options.

There's no such thing as "Unlock/ Unlock OEM functions" in developer options, in any ROM, ever.
Just found this.. Apparently Nexus 6 & 9 have this additional step to unlock the bootloader. I didn't have to do this while unlocking my device whilst on lollipop. So I'm gonna assume it's possible to unlock the bootloader on your device if this option is missing from the Developer Options..
Follow the procedure on motorola's website to unlock the bootloader and report back with the error you see on the online tool, or the actual device.
P.S - voids your warranty, unless you have a dev device
It doesn't give an error per say... It tells you to go to dev options and check the box or click on the option to unlock oem. Of course it's not there so the program will not execute the unlock. It says waiting for device....

Has there been any more insight on this?
After updating to 5.1, OEM unlock is in developer options now
Just updated to 5.1 on the Turbo and noticed an interesting option.
Enable OEM unlock.
Hopefully this helps getting custom roms on the device.
This could actually be really, really great! Has anyone tried to unlock this with the option on? Go to Moto Dev!

Doesn't work according to someone on reddit.
of course it won't work, even with OEM Unlock, you still need a code from motorola to unlock your bootloader and unless motorola starts issuing codes for the droid turbo (protip: it won't because lol verizon) the bootloader will still be locked no matter what a setting in developer settings says
thats for device protection, a function like apple iphone lock,

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/
if you disable that option, you can flash things on the phone leaving the phone unlocked and open.
Too bad the Turbo isnt like the Nexus 6. All that is needed is that radio button and fastboot... Oem Unlock..
Has anyone tried unlocking the bootloader somehow with this?

Hello,
I'm Trying to unlock a moto x 1058 from AT&T, I've entered the following command in fastboot mode: oem get_unlock_data.
Then I've pasted that code in the moto x website, but I got a message saying that my bootloader can't be unlocked.
Is there anything I can do to unlock it?
Thanks in advance.
Both AT&T and Verizon will not allow the bootloader to be unlocked, except on the developer edition. Many moons ago, there was a Chinese middleman that could supply unlock codes for a fee, but that has been a while. Most likely, you're stuck ... sorry.
What about sunshine? If you are on 4.4.2 it should work. That's what i've read about.
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.

I got my x4 yesterday and can confirm that it is possible to unlock the bootloader, but to do so you have to get an unlock code from Motorola that you append after the

command. It seems I'll have to hold off for a full root tho, I haven't found a twrp or cwm recovery image that I've confirmed to be compatible with the Fi x4 yet.
I would provide the link to the motorola unlock page, but my account is too new to post an outside link.

edit: clicking through the first link I was able to get the unlock code from motorola for my new x4. I will hold off on unlocking until we have some files to flash.

Shouldn't you unlock before you start seriously using the device? "oem unlock" wipes out your secure storage as far as I remember.

True but if I unlock now then I will fail safetynet check
Confirmation: OEM Unlocking option is in developer settings
Just got my X4 today, and in developer settings, there is an OEM Unlocking option. I haven't done the next step (no reason yet to), but it's what I've got.

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.
Hello I have a new Moto G6. I have enabled developer options and I've enabled OEM unlocking. But it doesn't seem to stay enabled between reboots? I just bought this yesterday. I'm trying to unlock the bootloader, but I can't unless OEM unlocking stays enabled. Am I missing something? I know there's currently no root for the G6, but still I think I should be able to unlock it, or am I mistaken?

That just allows the bootloader to be unlocked. You still would need to actually unlock it following the unlocking guide thread in the guides section

Yes I know this is not root, this is just unlocking the bootloader, yes I do have a key from motorola. But I can't do anything if OEM unlocking will not persist between reboots. I'm just trying to unlock the bootloader. And yes it is unlocked for sims.

I said nothing of root. Unless I am missing something from your original post, "Allow OEM unlocking" just allows the bootloader to be unlockable. After you tick it, reboot directly into fastboot mode (not back into android, that'll untick it again).
[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader - This states after enabling OEM Unlock in settings (from within Android) to reboot into the bootloader (This guide says power off and then power back on while holding volume down, if you have debugging on you can just "adb reboot bootloader"). Rebooting back into Android with the bootloader still locked I believe does untick the OEM Unlock option.
ok thanks, I'll try again.
I have the XT 1925-6 US unlocked version. One of the first things I do with a new phone is to enable Developer Options and toggle OEM Unlock even though I may not Unlock the Bootloader right away.
The OEM Unlock toggle has stayed persistently on through numerous reboots with the Bootloader still locked.
Hmm.. Well I could have sworn I had seen what was described before, however it has been a while. I unlocked mine all in one go so I can't say. If it's supposed to stay on then I'd really be curious why it isn't for jloh
