Hopefully nothing on XDA.

There is a detailed writeup of a successful bootloader unlock of Motorola MSM8960 phones, exploiting a vulnerability in the Motorola TrustZone kernel:
http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html
Since TrustZone appears to be an ARM / Qualcomm technology, would it be possible to use this same or similar exploit to unlock the bootloaders on the Sony Xperia T and V?
I don't know enough about boatloaders etc. To give an informed answer, but I would personally lean towards no because I am unaware of the Xperia devices using these software fuses. Furthermore, I'm relatively certain that the kernels will be different between Sony and Motorola devices. I'm not saying there's no chance of it working, but then again I'm not saying it will work either.
I'd be interested to hear what the devs have to say about this though.
Good find nonetheless!

Boot loader Unlock and SIM Unlock is controlled by .TA file, People like XperianPro have been trying to unlock the bootloader by flashing a .TA (could hard brick your device, 95% it wont work, 50 it will hard brick device, 100% it will disable radio ( cant call or text ). It worked for one guy
ONE DAY WE CAN UNLOCK ARE BOOTLOADER!

They are obliged to do it. There is kernel source for X, but not for XL. We'll see...

From the official FAQ: Acquiring Nokia X kernel source
Q: How do I request the kernel source for the Nokia X Firmware?
A: Microsoft Mobile offers to provide you with the source code for these files. Please send a written request, along with the relevant details (software name and version), to:
Source Code Requests
Microsoft Mobile Oy
Keilalahdentie 2-4
02150 Espoo
Finland
This offer is valid for a period of three (3) years from the date of the distribution of this product by Microsoft Mobile Oy.
I have requested the X2 source and will upload to Github when get the DVD. Alas, as I work in the Nokia X2 kernel team (at least for a short while), I could pull this directly from internal repository, but as I'm afraid of our Legal Dept, decided to submit a formal request just like everyone else.
It is too bad that world never sees the plethora of upcoming Nokia X models that were cancelled July 17th and were planned as successors to Nokia X2. There was some really cool technology there, also in the Linux kernel code. :crying:

Are there none because the bootloader is locked? Is there a bounty for unlocking it and has there been any progress made?

There will never be an aosp rom for any variant because there is almost no information about the SOC.
Is there anything that restricts you from putting lineageos on the Moto x4 currently on Amazon for $130?

Yes.
You cannot unlock the bootloader on the Amazon Exclusive version. So no custom ROM possible.

Amazon is not allowing to do that or is Motorola's policy? I was thinking in requesting unlock the bootloader from Motorola's website myself.

I am guessing that it was Amazon's policy as they are "subsidizing" the cost of the phone by branding it Prime Exclusive (with Amazon apps, etc).
Pretty sure you will simply get an error if you request the unlock code. BTW, if you successfully received a code (which you wouldn't in this case), your warranty would be voided even if you didn't ultimately apply the code on your phone.

That sucks! I got it just to put custom ROM on it. $129.00 worth the try, but what a shame. Not even a single method to try root?
I am getting mixed information if it's possible to unlock/root my Verizon S21 Ultra.
(Snapdragon - G998U - 3.1 UI)
Can anyone validate this?

No you are updated too far. You need to be on BL 1 and you are on 4. You can tell witch BL version by checking the 5th number from the last of the firmware.
So all the online services/ YouTube videos are BS? is there anyway to downgrade?

There is no way to downgrade. Just wait for developers to hack and root the latest bootloader.
Talked to Samsung today, they set me up an appointment at a repair shop to unlock my bootloader.
Snapdragon. V4 bootloader.
My appointment is for 3-5 PM EST, so if they do unlock it I'll start making TWRP and ****.

I'm getting the runaround from the stores. Samsung said they 100% can do this, but then I called a store to see if I can go in early, and they claimed the FRP tool (which is needed to unlock the bootloader) wasn't functional on their system, so I called 3 other stores and they all acted like they didn't even know what a bootloader was. I'm contacting Samsung again to have them sort it out.
*Edit If they keep making me run in circles, I'll be directing my efforts towards breaking the chain of trust manually.
Please keep us updated!
is there any update?
