[Q] Moto X DE - Can't unlock bootloader

I accidentally posted this in the Moto X 2014 forum. Sorry for the duplicate post.
I just purchased a Moto X Developer Edition (Verizon) directly from Motorola, and I'm attempting to unlock the bootloader, but at this point I can't even get an unlock code. I followed the instructions and used fastbook to get the unlock data from the phone. I copied and pasted (several times) to the Moto website, but when I click the "Can my device be unlocked?" button, I get a dialog box that says "your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking". It's the Dev Edition, so this should not be the case.
The box that the phone came in says XT1060DEV and the phone has Developer Edition stamped on the back. When I look at the About information on the phone, should I seen any indication in there that it's a DE version? The Model Number field just says Moto X.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks.

Lots of people had this problem including me. They say it takes a few days for your IMEI to get in the database, but I waited and it still wouldn't give me an unlock code and I had to get tech support involved and had to use the email associated with the account the phone was ordered on. YMMV.
I would call tech support and get the ball rolling on this b/c it took days for them to fix it for me.
Yes, the site has always been glitchy. Just be sure you're entering everything right....and keep trying every once in awhile. Took me a few tries over 10 hours to get my Rogers version to work....and I bought mine off a guy....new in box though, so it was just the site acting up.
I'm going through this hassle right now with a Verizon Developer Edition that I bought from Motorola.
I'm on hold with someone over seas that keeps telling me that they can't and won't help me.
Seems to have affected the September manufactured Verizon developer edition Moto X's (I was livid as i gave my gf a VZW DE on her bday and went through hassle to unlock this before she could play with it).
I called Motorola support and even gave them the URL to fix, note the update in the thread. The user responds very quickly (~4 hr resolution) - https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875
Phone support appears independently trained and didn't understand the difference between sim unlock and the bootloader unlock..and sadly didn't relay the URL to get it fixed/escalated.

Non VZW Nexus on VZW

Can anyone confirm what OTA any non VZW Nexus 6 on VZW is getting? Curious to know... Sorry if this is a repost. Couldn't find it while searching.
Thanks!

My GPS model shipped with 5.0 and updated to 5.01 after a couple hrs on wifi. I rooted and flashed a 5.1 rom shortly after so I don't know if or when it would have updated to 5.1.

all nexus 6 are getting 5.1, regardless what carrier youre on. all nexus 6 in the US are identicle. when buying via verizon, itll just have a verizon logo on it, thats all.
I just received my replacement phone (which I purchased from Motorola but had the shutting down while battery still displayed 50-90% issue), put my VZW SIM into it and can tell you that on my phone, the OTA progression went from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 "LMY47D".
Just an FYI: After it flashed to "LMY47D" and used it for a couple days (VZW "VoLTE" worked fine with this), I went to the Google factory image page and flashed "LMY47E" as that is the version that comes on the Verizon variant, factory reset, and when I set the phone back up, the phone automatically downloaded My Verizon as well as Verizon Visual Voice Mail automatically once it signed into the Play Store. I do not know if "LMY47D" would have downloaded those Verizon apps or not after a factory reset with a Verizon SIM in it, so someone else will have to chime in on that.

the provider apps get installed because of your sim card. can always first boot without the sim card installed, that way it wont install provider apps.
Received my Google 64 GB white Nexus, popped in my Verizon SIM no problem. I set up my phone over wifi first "it came stock 5.0" , powered off inserted SIM, then powered on, while phone was on wifi it updated to 5.1 Lollipop, 4G works fine.

moto x - can't turn on wifi

So i purchased this phone one ebay a while back for $45.00
I bought it as a back up, anyways i started tampering with it, flashing new firmware ( verizon firmware specifically ) since after researching, my model xt1050 ( alltell according to the seller ) is compatible with xt1060 ( verizon ) everything seems to work aside from wifi. I literally cannot enable WiFi ( i try to swipe to on but it auto goes back to on immediately and doesnt even show any wifi connections )
I have searched this and there seems to be a trail of users having this problem after upgrading OTA on their stock OS. Is this a hardware problem or software related. Not sure what else to do at this point....
there isn't much on here about the xt1050 model, and i can't find it's firmware anywhere, hopefully someone has a little more experience with this model to lead me in the right direction!
Are there some radios or modems I should try flashing ( if so, i can't find any )

Play Store error message: "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

Hey all,
I was wondering if anybody else has encountered this rather annoying issue, and if any known solution exists. I'm inclined to think it's an app issue rather than a system issue, but I'm not sure. When I'm trying to install Need for Speed: No Limits from the Play Store, I get the error message specified in the title. It seems that others have encountered the same problem, see here, here and here (this last one describes the same problem with the X Style).
Based on its hardware capabilities, the X 2014 should be able to run the game; I have no problem installing it on my E 2015 either. Troubleshooting methods I tried so far:
-updating Google Play Services and Play Store to the newest available versions
-clearing cache
-factory resetting the phone
None of these worked. Even Play Store's web version lists the game incompatible with the X 2014 when I'm trying to push the install to the phone. I'm running out of ideas. System is stock Lollipop, 23.16.6.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US tmo, LPE23.32-21.6. No modifications whatsoever.
You can't fix this problem yourself. They for some reason blacklisted the moto x 2014 as being incompatible. Only EA can fix that by unblacklisting our phone. Send a support email to them asking why our phone is listed as not compatible.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
Unfortunately they do not seem to care too much for inquiries about incompatible devices; they just send back a generic answer about wanting to provide the best experience and being unable to support every model or answer in detail as to why some phones are not supported.

Mic not working. Copy to new moto x

So I have an art moto x since December 2013. The mic is broken for about two weeks now and I am having trouble finding a replacement for the moto x(my favorite phone to date). Is there anyway to replace the front mic, also is there a way if I were to buy a new moto x(2013) somehow put everything from this phone onto it just the way it is(would be just like turning this phone on, apps in same state and same build etc
)
You could replace your mic.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-VERIZON...284223?hash=item235b84c8ff:g:uFoAAOSwA4dWKmcf
I looked into replacing it and that seems to be the mic for the top of the phone not the one used for picking up the users voice. I don't think it is replaceable.
Do you have Custom Recovery installed? Than it will be no problem to mirror your phone. Both systems must have the same Android-Version.
Boot recovery, choose Restore, select only DATA .... done!
If your phone is not rooted you can try this: http://www.technorms.com/39708/android-backup-4-best-options
My phone is not rooted so I will have to try one of those optioned you linked,thank you for that link BTW. But If I buy a new phone from reading what u wrote it would have to be the same xt1058 and have to have the same build and android version right ? If this is the case how do I get it to be the same as mine w/o Upgrading passed this point. Thank you
You need a xt1058 with the same Android Version. I dont think this is hard to find.
