I got my Moto X dev edition the other day and am finally getting around to actually unlocking the bootloader, but the thing is when I follow the steps on the Motorola site and enter the code generated from fastboot oem get_unlock_data it gives me a message that my device is not eligible to unlock the bootloader. Have any of you had this issue? If so how did you deal with it? I would prefer not to have to call Motorola about this.
if my understanding is correct, boot loader is unlocked, you don't need a code. just type fastboot oem unlock.

You need a code, even for the dev edition, just typing fastboot oem unlock generates:
(bootloader) fastboot oem unlock [ unlock code ]
OKAY [ 0.082s]
finished. total time: 0.082s
and the device still shows:
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

I tried manually entering it (3 times) i have tried copying it directly, and I have tried copying into notepad and making sure there are no spaces, but it still says my devices is not eligible for a bootloader unlock. Guess I'm calling motorola after work tomorrow.

I just tried unlocking a Rogers Canada phone and it told me the phone isn't eligible. It certainly should be and I know I'm doing everything correctly as I unlocked a different one a few days ago.
So being you're seeing the same thing my conclusion is that the backend server which the website communicates with to manage the unlocking is broken at the moment.

Try it again today, so far from my testing the unlock website is working again.

As others have said, you need a code. The reason is you have to see like five warnings that the warranty will be voided before you get the code. They want to make sure people can't use the "I didn't know it would void the warranty" response if something goes wrong.

Are you hitting volume up when you select recovery from the bootloader menu? It's not the power button to select, it's volume up.
Volume UP is the "select"

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I followed motorola's instructions on reflashing https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images but it does not re-lock. It tells me "No valid PIV block in SP for userdata"
edit - deleted userdata and it locked, but i still get the warning screen on boot
warranty
I thought Moto had reversed course, and now honors warranty issues on unlocked dev. devices...?

Anyone knows anything about that?
Also, is the image altered in any way after a unlock? or is it exactly the same as a factory reset?

edit:
apparently it is all fine
Requesting an unlock code will no longer void the device’s warranty
We will start posting return-to-factory software images

Why would you unroot and/or unlock?
If it is a dev edition, it will not hurt the warranty.
The reason for this phone is for unlocking, rooting, flashing and roming.
Once you have saved a nandroid with a custom recovery (TWRP) you can't mess anything up. Go crazy and have fun
So i followed the directions by first unlocking it and than rooting it... the nexus never gave me that gui screen i see in all the videos saying that the device is being unlocked yet i do have files in a folder "iReadyToFlash" but nothings worked so far... anyone have any ideas?
What directions are you following? What video are you referring to?
Are you getting any error message? If so, at what step? What have you done so far?

My device didn't confirm root either, but after the system booted I checked and it surely worked. Have you confirmed that you indeed do not have root?
I was following the directions from the Nexus Root Toolkit. I am not getting any error messages but i do follow the steps but its still not letting me unlock the boot loader so i can unlock it.
I am on LMY48M right now. i just really want to restore all my stuff from titanium back up from my galaxy s5.
I've seen in a few videos that people get a unlocked boot loader gui that comes up but that never occurred.

Hi There,
im new here and wish to say hello to you all.
i read a lot of threads but nothing is my specific problem.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my 5c under Android 6. Then, the nougat 7 update came in and now i got the following problem:
when entering fastboot to flash twrp-recovery, my honor says "PHONE Unlocked FRP Lock" and the oem-unlock-trigger under developer options is in OFF-position and greyed out with no possibility to enable it.
When i try flashing recovery i always get the message
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (21942 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.578s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.587s
i think, that this toggle has to be in ON-position to be able to flash. Bootloader is unlocked
C:\adb>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
Any suggestion or help for me? I need my root access but i'm not able to get it and don't know whats the exact problem. Already tried disabling all screen-locks and thins i read in other posts but nothing worked.

If FRP locked, you have to enable OEM Unlock function, then relock and unlock bootloader. It works, i mean it worked for me correctly.

Hi guys!
I'm having a problem.
I'm trying to unlock my bl but the toggle(as the title says) does not appear. So when I try to unlock via adb or flashtool I got this error:
27/021/2018 11:21:07 - INFO - finished. total time: 0.063s
27/021/2018 11:21:07 - WARN - Maybe the OEM is not enabled
and on adb I got the same thing.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I just want to update to oreo
Thanks in anticipation
Many Z3c tablets don't have the ability to have their bootloader unlocked. I'm in Canada, and this tablet was sold through Rogers, and I have the same issue. There's no workaround, you're stuck with stock.
I had this on Z4 Tablet. Solved when I go to Developer's options and set ON the option which allows to unlock Boot Loader.
