Motorola doesnt authorize the republic wireless variant to be unlocked, are there any 3rd party programs that can unlock it? I looked into sunshine but the exploit checker claims mine cant be unlocked via their method so that options out.

I have a 2013 Moto X v1 (rooted via RockMyMoto) running 4.2.2 jellybean. I've recently been looking into SunShine since RW should be releasing lollipop for the 2013 soon. My SunShine compatibility test showed "Compatible!"
Do you have a v2 Moto X?

This is the v2 forums! Not the 2013.
There is no other way to unlock it, if sunshine failed, sorry nothing you can do.

I'm not going to go into the reasons why, but Moto does NOT give out the bootloader unlock code for the Retail and MotoMaker X for Verizon, ATT and a few other carriers. There was this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/verizon-moto-maker-bootloader-unlock-t2680651 on purchasing an unlock code from a 3rd party source via Chinese web site, but it has not been available since April 1. And we don't expect it to be available again.

I have search in XDA with no results. I have a Moto X (2012) XT1060 standar version 16GB [Carrier VZW]. I request for a bootloader unlock in motorola's webpage but this model is not listed. I tried using WinDroid and the page said that this device can't be unlocked.
Remember this is not a Developer Edition, it's a 16GB version unlocked band to any carrier, it was from VZW.
And is not only me, many users have the same problem, they can't unlock their devices.
Why? and is there a solution... How?
Thank you for you attention.
You can thank big "v" for that. They, along with att I believe, restrict Motorola from giving out the bootloader unlock codes. Mind you that's different from a phone being "carrier unlocked." With the China middleman mia, your only current option is to try and use sunshine 2.0. If that doesn't work then you will have to wait for sunshine 3.0 which is said to be released "soon" but don't ask what exactly that means. In the meantime, don't update to official lollipop should it be released before sunshine.
Don't forget Republic wireless... (The big 3 that can't unlock are Verizon, ATT and Republic Wireless)

4.4.3 on a Verizon XT1060? I think that is a typo.
THe Verizon XT1060 never had 4.4.3, only 4.4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4, and then the couple of 4.2.2 versions.
If you have 4.4.4 Sunshine likely wont work.
If you have 4.4.2 and have never upgraded to 4.4.4, then Sunshine should do the trick.

goto their page and live support, the dev fixed it for me and gave me a special version, he said it would be patched into 3.04 or 3.0.5 yesterday anyways, so you may want to goto the site and see if it's updated.
better to buy a dev edition...

Not better than a $100 mint condition non-dev edition, which now has an unlocked bootloader thanks to the wonderful support from therootninja (as gchase23 suggested, they hooked me up with an older version that works with the Moto X with 4.2.2).
Hello All! I Have Moto X

As My Phone Is out Of Warranty Now Can I ask Moto/VZW For An Unlock Code For Unlocking My Moto X's Bootloader ?
Any Help Would Be Appreciated.

I don't know if vzw provides unlock codes.
But what I can say is warranty won't affect your chance of getting an unlock code.
You should check on moto website.
If you enter the imei number they'll tell you whether it can be unlocked

Eh, thanks I was hoping to get it from motorola cause sunshine isn't working either cause it requires root, link of a working root method for locked boot loader would be much appreciated.

No. Moto will never give out the bootloader unlock code on the Non-Developer Edition XT1060 (likely due to their contract with Verizon), and Verizon does not give them out (for dev edition either).
And with the locked bootloader, once 4.4.4 is on your phone, you can't root it.

Its likely for an OLDER ROM.
There were about 3 or 4 different processes for X with a locked bootloader, but it was based on ROM version on the phone (i.e. 4.2.2 w/camera update, 4.4, 4.42). Once 4.4.4 is on there, all past vulnerabilities that were exploited on phones with locked bootloaders have been patched/closed, so if you have 4.4.4 on the phone and can't unlock the bootloader, you can't root.

Is the Moto XT1097 with the android version 5.1 able to he downgraded. Thanks for any kind of answers at all. Been looking at different sites and all kind of tutorials. Still haven't found any answer to my questions. Thanks in advanced.
Here is my riddle?
I got a moto XT1097 bought from at&T in America with the 5.1 android version. How do I root it? Is it worth to even downgrade to try and root it that way . I know for a fact the boot loader cannot be unlocked. OEM Is one that can not be unlocked. Thanks for any advice, help, anthing at all. Been wracking and researching away to root it and all of my roads lead to a headache.
The AT&T xt1097 cannot be unlocked. You can root with MOFO if an updated 5.1 image has been made for your device. Since your device cannot be unlocked, you cannot downgrade.

Thanks. I do not have the 5.1 image for my device at all. When I bought the phone it was updated on the spot. I know for sure right now these versions are not rootable. Guess I am going to have to wait or root. Thanks for the help.
Hey does anyone have a one click root method for the moto x 2014 (XT1092)? Don't wanna manually root it coz I'd probably stuff something up, thanks.
Currently, there is no one click root method for moto x 2014, and as I can see, there won't be any.
The ONLY way for us to root is by unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp and root using supersu or something like that.
Kingroot brags about that they can root android 5.1 but when you try with our phone, you get failed/there is no strategy method available.
As far as I know, you have xt1092 so you are able to unlock your bootloader. I have verizon's xt1096 and I can't do that , and probably won't be at all.

Have you tried getting Motorola to unlock your xt1096? It seems there have been quite a few people successfully unlocking their carrier branded Moto X 2014. I can't comment on whether or not it is true since I have XT1095, but I'm just saying......

Well, I've done that already a year ago... Motorola made it available to unlock the xt1096 bootloader.
I moved to Galaxy s7 already so it's not relevant for me but thanks!
