Assuming you have a model that isn't unlockable via htcdev and you've upgraded past the current capability of sunshine then you are stuck. Likely the only hope is for future support from sunshine.
I was on the invite list for the first oneplus one (and oneplus 2 ) i opted out of the moto x, i think it would be a great phone if it was bl unlocked , if i was just an average citizen , any abdroid, apple or win phone would be fine , haha, but im not
You make no sense dude, most Moto X are unlockable and it's a great phone.

For HTC phones I've always noticed that they release the dev. edition which comes with an unlocked bootloader and is therefor rootable. Then it must be true that the regular release comes with a locked bootloader, is there generally a fast update where someone finds a way to unlock it or is the best bet to just buy a dev edition?

In the US unlocking the bootloader from a phone you get from at&t etc. is not completely legal: .. that being the reason why they sell the htc one dev version there!
You can unlock the phone via htcdev though It's simple and officially from htc :victory:

WRONG. Please do not spread incorrect information.
Unlocking a bootloader on ANY DEVICE OR CARRIER in the USA is 100% LEGAL.

I remember reading somewhere that the HTC One X+ was given extra restrictions by AT&T so it was harder to unlock. Can you have a bootloader sent to a website/company to have it unlocked for a small fee?

No because if HTC dev is'nt avaliable to unlock bootloader than it's uasally xda folks that crack the bootloader and most xda folks share the unlock, plus if only some small company can crack the bootloader for a fee, the development would'nt be very good
Okay I am wanting get a Moto X soon with my contact expiring, and I am in to custom ROMs, rooting etc, but when I search the Moto X there's information i'm confused on.
First can non developer editions be unlocked? I am with Alltel atm which is a CDMA carrier who have the regular Moto X, can that be unlocked?
They are being slowly taken over and transitioned to GSM by AT&T, I like the idea of the Moto X but if I can't both root it and unlock the boot loader I am going to skip it.
I don't have the kind of money to buy the developer edition just to use it on my current carrier.
Thank you in advanced!
The moto x DE isn't much more than the regular one. What carrier? Verizon and at&t can't be unlocked. Or rooted if they come with 4.4.2.
Honestly, if your into flashing And whatnot....you want the N5. No question.
As much as I love the X....its not a flashers phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader, you need to get an GSM version. Get the Dev Edition version so you won't lose your warranty from unlock it.
If you want to flash rom there is no point of getting the Moto X for two reason;
1. There is almost no roms for it.
2. You lose all the features of the Moto X. If you don't want the Moto X features, there is no point of getting it, there are other phones with better specs.

Which I love because now I spend much more time actually using the phone and it's practical features rather than flashing.

The Moto X can at least be rooted without the boot loader unlocked correct?

Yes, but I heard with ATT and Verizon not yet for ver 4.4.2, I could be wrong. But as long as you buy unlocked version getting bootloader unlocked is very easy.

At the moment, if you're already on 4.4.2 with a Verizon or at&t retail phone....there's no way to root.
Hi just wondering if i buy this phone http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Blac...41?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item280344d421
Will i be able to unlock the bootloader? assuming it's not verizon if coming from hong kong or would i be wrong? cheers
I'm guessing the "unlocked" in the title means SIM unlocked. If it isn't a developer edition, your only chance to unlock the bootloader is Sunshine.

Would this still hold true given that this is coming from Asia? or are all xt1060s locked aside from the dev model?
As far as I'm aware, yes.

Do you mean that Sunshine might eventually work to unlock the bootloader on XT1060s? or is it working right now?
(I know I can check by just running the app on the phone, but I don't own the phone yet either, was considering buying one)
EDIT: just did a little more research, seems like sunshine will work for XT1060s if it hasn't been upgraded to 4.4.4 . If anyone knows otherwise, please correct me.

I'm not aware of the XT1060 being sold by any other carriers that Verizon in the USA. All Verizon XT1060's are SIM Unlocked (aka carrier unlocked) due to FCC 700mhz C-Block rules.
Moto only gave out the Bootloader unlock code for the Developer Edition XT1060. Sunshine will work so long as the phone is on 4.4.2 and has NEVER been flashed with 4.4.4 or higher.

It was either just lucky, or you used the China Middle Seller/Middle man that was available long ago and not Moto's web site.

i for sure used the motorola website on non dev deition 1060, now i try every x that passes through, some times i think that site may have flaws
Any update or news on the bootloader unlockability and kernel source availability?
Motorola's site lists upto the Moto G6 Plus still.
the phone is not yet released atleast in India. I am planning to buy it though. And hoping to see good support

i don't think there will be unlocking with verification code like general moto phones. it will be probably be just going to fastboot mode,
then ' fastboot oem unlock', voila it's unlocked. android one phones have this very handy feature. i hope really good custom rom devs buy this device since motorola hasn't been that popular in the xda community these days. hope this one makes it better

Motorola has always been developer friendly. we'll probably have kernel source files in less than two weeks. they suck at updates but bootloader unlocking has certainly been easier on moto devices. In terms of nokia android one devices, it was nokia who made that choice. i said what i said because i was talking about a moto android one device not android one device per se .
