Hi just wondering if anyone knows which model numbers of the moto x have an unlockable bootloader i see on the cyanogenmod download page that there is cm for the xt1053, xt1058 and xt1060 does this mean all of these are unlockable or are some of these using safestrap? also does it depend on which region you purchase the phone from? thanks guys and girls

All XT1053 's are unlockable
All XT1052 's are unlockable
All XT1050 's are unlockable
All XT1055 's are unlockable
All XT1056 's are unlockable
All XT1058 's are unlockable EXCEPT AT&T
Only the DEVELOPER edition XT1060 is unlockable
NO XT1049 's are unlockable (except nTelos)
Basically, they can all be unlocked EXCEPT Verizon (though the DEV edition can be unlocked), AT&T, and Republic Wireless.
You can NOT use CM or any other non-stock-based custom ROMs with safe-strap. Safe-strap is for stock based ROMs ONLY.
This is all completely accurate with the exception of the services of the "China Middleman" (use search).
The middleman sells unlock codes for some of the locked variants. While many are successful at unlocking, many are unable to receive codes as well. See that thread for further details.
You are an absolute legend thanks so much, i spent ages looking for that info

The Dev edition Roms aren't one byte different from the regular ones.
The vzw Dev edition uses the regular xt1060 ROM.
The GSM Dev edition use the T-Mobile xt1053 ROM.
What are you trying to accomplish?!?

There is no hardware or software difference besides the unlockable bootloader. When the bootloader exploit gets released, unlock your device, and it will be nearly the same. (I only say nearly because I feel like i'm forgetting something.

That really doesn't make sense....but no. You can't.
There are SEVERAL XT1058s. Which do you have? The AT&T Variant, or a different one?
If you do NOT have the AT&T variant, you can already unlock the bootloader which basically "transforms" it into a DEV edition without doing anything else.
Any phone with an unlocked bootloader *IS* an un-official "DEV" edition. There is nothing "special" about the Dev editions except for their unlockable bootloaders, or rather the fact that they retain their warranty after being unlocked.
I'm not understanding what you intend to gain?
ALL Moto X's have unlockable bootloaders *EXCEPT* for the Verizon, AT&T, and Republic Wireless variants.
The only thing "special" about the dev editions is that they keep their warranty intact after unlocking the bootloader. But if it isn't a device SOLD as a DEV edition, you will void its warranty anyways.
And if you happen to have the AT&T, Verizon, or Republic Wireless variant, see the thread in General titled "China Middleman Back" - that guy sells codes that unlock the bootloader on the locked variants. If you pay him and get a code, your phone will be a non-official DEV edition. If you DON'T have AT&T, Verizon, or Republic Wireless variant, you can *already* unlock it *FREE* from Moto's official unlock website.

@samwathegreat can i flash a Galaxy Note 3 rom? I want to transform my maxx to a note 3. I really like the bigger screen.
Wut?
Hello, I wish to know if the Pure Edition has an unlocked bootloader ? The Moto Voice and others Motorola features are they presents in the Pure Edition ? Someone know if in Europe the MotoMaker version is only a Pure Edition ?
No it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, I will never buy a phone with a bootloader already unlocked when shipped, which is insecure.
It, however, does have an unlockable bootloader which you can manually unlock through Motorola website: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
Whatever default Moto X features should be included in all the variants. The Pure version for US will not have LTE bands support for Europe and you will only get 3G.
Yeah I mean unlockable sorry for the mistake. Thanks for your answer !
Hello, been trying to find the information online. But is this model of the s10 bootloader unlocked? SM-G973U?
Nope
No, unfortunately it's not. If you want to unlock your bootloader you'll want the G973F Exynos model.

It's possible you could be SIM unlocked but the bootloader has not been unlocked on US phones in a long time (T-Mobile S5 I think was the last)
Noob question here. Can anyone tell me if I can unlock the bootloader of LMV405EBW that I bought in India?? The lg website states bootloader unlock allowed only for European version which is the same variant.

Despite Indian version having the same model name/number as European, you won't be able to unlock it officially - LG Developer site will detect the version by the serial number. You can unlock the BL via unofficial channel here https://remote-unlock-service.com/en. It is paid service though.

I have a US unlocked V40, model number V405QA. If I do this, does that mean I can root? Can you post some directions on how to root this phone once I unlock the bootloader?
Thanks!
