I recently got a Moto e5 Go (xt1921-8) and I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader!
Tried google, the Moto website, everything! Any suggestions?

That's a Verizon branded device?
If yes, it cannot be unlocked.

Pardon my stupidity if this has already been asked, but I couldnt find any info on it.
SIM unlocked and rooted my AT&T Moto X and am running it on my local carrier. Have 4.2 installed with SS. I just got the OTA notification for 4.4 (i assume from AT&T). Is this normal?
Also, if I were to take the OTA, it would break root of course, but could I just use slapmymoto to root it? Also, since I have never done OTAs, are there any disadvantages to it?
TIA
Don't bother taking the ota...the first step of slap my Moto is returning to stock 4.2.2!

Was working fine a few weeks ago, now it tells me to call big red, and I can't think of anything I've done that should have caused this to happen.
Anyone have a solution or should I be looking for an app?

Look at settings and see if you're on 4.4.2 or 4.4
4.4.2

The 4.4.2 broke root and overwrote your tethering mod. read the thread below

If you have an unlocked bootloader, it's easy to enable hotspot again.

What does unlocking process involve? Ive heard there is a code.. and if you get the code does it work for every x or just yours..
---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
I guess all are able to be unlocked not just dev versions.. i will hook my usb cable to my laptop and start entering random numbers into the unlocking code hole thingy and get mine unlocked.. just like the bobbypin in a master lock
I just had to install xposed and we're working again, should have never happened in the first place though!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
So yours is unlocked.. that makes a big difference
I got the code from the chinese middle-man back when it was available, but now it's not possible. I have the standard Moto X, not DE.

Ckeck again, maybe you inserted the wrong code? There should be no spaces and no (bootloader) in the string, those five lines should be pasted all together without any break.

Also, the moto unlock site can be glitchy. Try again later... And again.... Etc.

i tried another day and it worked..
I migrated my apps from the og moto x developer edition. One app was SuperSU. When I opened that app I didn't get any errors, so I downloaded a root checker app and it confirmed my new moto x was already rooted.
Fluke?
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, fluke. Just tried on my pure edition and it's a no go.
Maybe a refurbished device? And the previous owner rooted it, and Motorola didn't recognize?
---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------
Will it receive ota updates when it is rooted?
Refurbished so soon after launch? I suppose it is possible.
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, several returns are happening, I'm sure they're flipping them.
Use DiskDigger and see if there are any deleted files /photos on there. Always encrypt then factory reset your device prior to sending it back
Hi.
I ****ed up. I tried to restore my Moto X to factory defaults following the instructions found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657) and everything went wrong. My phone was soft bricked. I managed to save it using the windroid tool (flashed recovery, in recovery flashed CM12) but when I booted I couldn't enable wifi and my sim card wasn't being detected.
I don't know what to do. I'm in over my head. I need help. I tried reflashing the rom, but that didn't work. I might suck at searching but I couldn't find anything that worked in the forum. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Why are you following a guide for the moto G? What phone model do you have? If you're flashing moto G images that certainly won't work. If you have the PE then flash the images off the moto web page. The 5.0 images are posted so you shouldn't have issues with downgrading. If you have another model there are guides and images in this, the moto x, forum for that.

Thanks for the reply.
I found the guide in the faq stickied in the help forum. Guess I wasn't thinking. Do you thinking following a different guide will solve my problem?

There are a bunch. Is the bootloader unlocked? What country? What version were you on before you flashed CM? You need to find the images for your particular device.

You can convert your phone to a PE if you want. If not just use his instructions and flash your version you found on the previous link. Then you can flash back to CM.
