Follow this thread and use Hex Fiend to edit the file on mac. I did it and it worked very well. If you're new to hacking android you'll have to find info on how to get adb setup. You'll also need fastboot but you can get that from the HTC dev site while following the unlock steps. If you're not familiar with using Terminal on the mac you'll need a little more help.
Let me know what you need and I'll try to help if I can. Are you on the stock firmware (1.73.502.1)?

Err... How'd I do that?
A little(actually a lot) embarrassed right now
download the adb files and put your Unlock_Code.bin which you've got from HTCdev site in the adb folder.
I advise you to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
If you will read it carefully you shouldn't have any problems
Here you can find explanation for many terms that you should know like what is S-ON, rooting etc.:

Thanks a lot, guys
pls give me full info how can I. root my (inco A505) ver-2.2.2 mobile?pls help me
Check if the bootloader is locked. I can't find any software for it. You will want a nandroid, so this will help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818321

I used TowelRoot to root my phone
It can be found on here somewhere on xda forums
RootGenius seems to work well. I'd recommend it.
Hello Everyone-
My apologies but, after reading page upon page of information, I am just more confused.
Has anyone found a method to unlock this bootloader yet - if even temporarily ?
All these terms ( TWRP, CWM, AOSP, etc.) just have my head spinning.
I am able to follow the steps to these processes, I just need to know which ones to follow.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

The section for the model mentioned that you are looking for is in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development
If you find it all confusing at this point, I'd recommend the use of http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/moto-g-4g-easyrecovery-toolkit-t2856710 for now.
Is this toolkit standalone ?
Somcom3X -
Thanks for the direction. If I use your toolkit, does it contain everything needed ? Can I disregard the other programs/files I dl'd in previous unlocking attempts - for example :adb tools treiber, Android Studio, etc.
I gave it a quick test, but my device never appears. This is what I see :
Your device is:
If this is incorrect please exit this program
Press any key to continue . . .
The phone is in fastboot mode, USB debugging on. I previously installed the ADB drivers w/i the toolkit. Do I also need to run (m)fastboot, as well ?
What am I missing here ?

Could you try using a different USB port/computer? All of the commands have been automated.
Phone was recognized, program went thru the motions but..
Command prompt did what it was supposed to do, but it still asked to enter unlock code from Motorola site. I just continued hitting any key to continue. Bootloader still locked. What now ?

You need the unlock code from the Motorola site. You'll be better off replying in that thread for the toolkit.

I thought that this toolkit did away with that requirement. As I mentioned in my OP, I am working with a Cricket XT1045. Motorola does not give out unlock codes for these versions.
I will post in that other thread if anyone has found a workaround.
Thanks
Without an unlock code, your pretty much on your own. However, this might work in your case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792487
Hi guys
i just received it.. i found some informations on How to root but i'd love to be sure before
Which one of the different methods is the best?
thank you so much !
P.S. will i really lose the " black gold " theme once i root??
OK i reply to myself
i followed this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56004439&postcount=1
just be careful if you copy and paste FASTBOOT commands.. there is a mistake the right command is :
adb reboot-bootloader ( and not bootlader as reported.. for type mistake )
to receive your UNLOCK CODE u need your imei and serial number and input this info here:
http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=pre
TO GET PRODUCT ID you must download Huawei product ID generator here:
http://d-h.st/10o
everything worked just perfectly
if anyone else need info, ask me !

After days of trying to root w/o unlocking boot loader that resulted to a failure cuz my device is not vulnerable. I decided to root it the old fashioned way. I'm new to rooting and didn't understand some of the instructions written on the guides. I was forced to look into every other guides on the net to make me understand. Some has Chinese some I don't know so when I got to finally root my HAM7 I was so happy. I may make a video of this and compile the files I used to make the rooting to help others who like me, doesn't want to ask around until something goes wrong.
Looking forward knowing this way..I tried everything too but still no luck rooting my international gold edition ..don't want to unlock bootloader either.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
