Hello All,
I recently received a recycled MPQ from Sprint and in attempting to unlock the device I am informed (via Motorola - Unlock My Device) that this device is not eligible for unlocking! Maybe it was already unlocked once before and Moto doesn't clear the system even though Sprint does? Like maybe it is already tied to another user? Or shows that its already been unlocked? In any event. I may be sending this phone back for yet another recycled device and I assume I will have potentially the same problem. Rather than going to that hassle, is there a work around method for unlocking the bootloader without going thru Motorola?
TIA
Matt
Hi there,
You may need to make sure you remove the spaces from the number sequence when you paste it into the web page. Try pasting them into Notepad first, then you can check for/delete the spaces, and copy/paste into the moto unlock page.
I was getting the same result until I worked this out.

Actually, I transferred the code 1 at a time. I did not copy and paste. When it failed the first time I went back and did it again, it was exactly the same, an exact copy of the code. I verified and re-verified. No worky.
Also, I dont remember having "#"'s in my code on my old device but this one had several.
I think the unlocked boot warning would show if it had been previously unlocked.
Sounds like something else.

No, think about it. The phone has already been unlocked thru Motorola once potentially (most likely, since its a recycled phone). Just because Sprint wipes it doesn't mean Motorola re-locks it. I think there's a glitch in the 'accounting' by Motorola whereby phones (hardware) that were locked by a previous owner are registered to that person and not valid for another owner. Unless a new code is generated on every FZX flash which is highly unlikely. Anyone know more about the Motorola code and if each device is tied to a single code for its lifetime?
Why don't you contact Sprint then & get them to sort it out?
Pretty sure the moto unlock site states that they consider it impossible to re-lock a phone once the bootloader has been unlocked.
Read some posts that talk about re-locking, but the device would prob still register as unlocked on the moto unlock site. This may be what you are running into.
None of the PQ's I have were disallowed, despite me not being the original owner, so the codes/unlock will undoubtedly tie to a device serial# rather than a registered owner.
Dude - both my handsets had #'s in the code number sequence. Why don't you try cut & paste like I suggested? What have you got to lose?

To clarify - I think a factory reset handset from Sprint would still show up an unlocked boot loader warning if it had been done by the previous owner. It would prob have to be re-locked by moto somehow to remove the warning (unlikely).
As an unlocked handset would have void warranty issues, would Sprint really sell a boot unlocked Q? (Also unlikely).

I think we're tracking just not on the technical terms.... although I think sprint has a way of like hard wiping the phone or something. A factory firmware flash. Bam. Back to locked.

Ofcourse you can. Right click inside cmd window, in popup select "Select"/"Edit"/"Mark" (I can't remember), left mouse click and drag to select. Enter or click (I don't remember) copies to clipboboard. Much easier than it seems. Non-intuitive but it's windows. Cygwin's shells might be better.

Update: copy and pasted the exact code via yall's instructions.... and... "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
Also, the Motorola rep showed in his system that the device was "not rooted". He couldn't figure it out and said he would get back with my via email.
Maybe its some deal Sprint has worked out with Motorola? They tie my name (as a known rooter/unlocker) to the hardware and tell Moto to disallow unlocking on a particular device?
Does anyone know of another way to unlock the bootloader?

Well, unlocking the bootloader does void the warranty... so if you're getting warranty replacements after unlocking the bootloader, perhaps this is why.
I seriously doubt it tho. I would just make damned sure the code is correct - no spaces being pasted in, etc.

^This is why I suggested you paste into notepad first, so you can check for spaces. Pasting directly into the web portal will carry spaces across, even though it looks like you haven't selected any!
Try via notepad & see what comes up. I had this exact problem with my first one & solved it this way. The second one went through perfect, because I used the notepad method.
Good luck with it. I doubt you have been banned for rooting/unlocking, that is what the bootloader unlock portal is for.

I also was unable to unlock my device through the official method. I copied the text out of the command prompt into notepad, verified it was all there, made sure there were no spaces, removed extra text in the lines, etc. I rechecked the code about 10 times and Motorola kept rejecting it.
My phone was won in a giveaway. It was shipped to me directly from Sprint but I never activated it on their service. I'm a Ting customer. They're a Sprint MVNO (reseller basically), and they had some issue activating in in their system, possibly because it hadn't previously been on Sprint. I wonder if that perhaps kept it from being activated in Motorola's database?
Anyway, you should be able to use this tool to unlock your bootloader. It worked for me, though I can't promise it's as good a solution as the official way or that it will also work for you and not do bad things to your phone.
It works on Photon Q too! I just unlocked my Photon Q with it... No problems...

So there is a tool huh? GOOD.
I just got off the phone with "Motorola Level 3 Support" and a guy named Jonathan told me he ran into this issue before. There is nothing Motorola can do and he suggests I go to Sprint for another phone. I said, well isn't this a feature of the phone, an unlockable bootloader? He said, "yes, but it's not a feature we support, because it voids the warranty" So they don't support any problems with that feature.
But since it was a selling point of the phone I think someone is liable for denying me full features of my phone. But regardless, I am going to try this new method and hopefully unlock this phone. Will report back.

Were you already rooted? And if so, via what method? The page for the tool says it needs root access and SU installed. Or did you unlock without root access by using this tool?

I was already rooted. I looked at my past posts and found that I thanked someone for this Motorola JB root method that doesn't touch the bootloader, so I assume it's what I used. link
edit: I also verified that I have the tool on my hard drive, so I'm 99% certain it's what I used.

Hey, I'm kind of a noob here. Where do I get fastboot.exe from? Im stuck on step 11 in the "[UNLOCK] AT&T Bootloader Unlock Through HTC-Dev" thread
you need to download the android sdk, it has it in there as stated in the htcdev unlocking instructions
Thanks, I was able to get it to work once the one click unlock tool was posted.

Stupid questions but I can't seem to find simple answers:
a) do I need to be on a specific FW version or have a specific bootloader to unlock?
b) how do I tell what version I have?
c) does/can this get rid of the "tampered" on the bootloader screen?
d) does/can this give us full S-Off?
I'm assuming you're on the HTCDEV part because if you're not using the tool and you're asking this question you're doing it wrong.
that being said, it should come in the android SDK, if it doesn't then just copy the exe file out of the tool folder that you unzipped.
Edit, I see you already got it answered.

Another couple of dumb questions:
Will we ever be able to get rid of that "tampered" notice?
How does that notice effect me should my phone, say, fall and break its screen or have some other hardware-related failure? (I'm a klutz)
What does SuperCID mean and how does that effect me?

Maybe, who knows on the "tampered" and yea you void your warranty so if you are afraid of hardware failure then don't do it, or but insurance on it. That's what I have, if I brick it cost me 100.00 rather than 600.00.
"Waiting for device"
Every attempt and different ways always brings me to that part. I have does the oneClick supercid program and I've even gone through the HTCDEV website 6 times now. after it reboots into boot loader mode and I direct it to the folder with the 3 files in it through cmd and I get to the final step to where it says "Waiting for device" trying to get the cid codes for my phone and nothing. I am at the end of my ropes of how to unlock codes. if anyone can help me or walk me through via text or video I would be so happy. I just want this thing finally unlocked and over with.
I take it your on this step?
11. Type "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" and hit enter. To test if it worked restart the phone into fastboot (type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter) and once the bootloader screen comes up type "fastboot oem readcid" and hit enter. It should read "11111111".
12. Next type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and hit enter. Leave that up on your screen and go to HTCdev.com. Follow the instructions from there. Choose "All other supported models" from the dropdown menu.
If so, Step 11 is kinda tricky worded after you type the command to reboot the device. Just don't even wait put the second line in "fastboot oem readcid" the batch file will wait for the phone. I hope this helps ya I had the same problem before And booted the phone back up and tried again but last time I just rebooted with the command then right after than put in the second command.

Devs will find a way to remove tampered label once we find S-OFF. After the device has been "tampered", if your phone breaks and you send it to HTC warranty, they will not replace your phone if you have flashed a custom ROM on it. How they know you've flashed a custon ROM, I'm not sure.
SuperCID is the development CID designed to work on HTC phones. It allows you to unlock your bootloader through HTCDev.com. It also allows you to flash RUUs, because RUUs check CIDs on phones to determine whether the RUU is a valid ROM for your phone. However, it has been said this is hit/miss.
Don't take my exact word for it, use GOOGLE.COM.
I waited for the one-click tools, and I'm glad I did.
Forgot to mention
my Main computer is my iMac and I have a windows 7 laptop I switch to for my flashing/rooting etc... because I am not good with terminal or adb steps after a few seizures I've had recently. So shell stuff is completely useless to me. I can follow the steps on the briefmobile website then I have the HTCDEV account. but still at a lost.. for some reason.
I never got a 1111111 or whatever message
It just went straight to "Waiting for/on device" I tried again even attempted somewhat the hex edit way. but I never saw any "CW__111" or whatever in the file that I threw into HxE I think that was the hex program I used on my laptop. To frustrated to check in other room. I even kept looking at 210 section and nothing. So I'm not sure what is going on that won't let me unlock. Maybe I'll check youtube to see if there is a video on unlocking the bootloader.

You should just use the one-click Super-CID tool in the Developers section, it's much faster and hassle free.
Thanks but that option never succeeded
I finally got it to unlock and get past that "Waiting for device issue" it seems even though I had my device plugged in and all the android and HTC drivers installed, it never registered that it could sense android 1.0 plugged in. so I had to manually right click and force it to install the drivers and it finally found device. low and behold it clicked and I got my email instantly right afterwards. So now I need how on installing CWM any ideas how to? be I am wanting to try out Team nocturnal's Rom for a little bit to see what it has to offer. Thanks for comment also by the way.
when I copy my string and paste it to get the unlock token I get this everytime
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

You need not go through the ebay middlemen that people talk about there, you can paypal the seller directly.
Search that thread for paypal. If you look closely you'll find an address to which you can send money, your IMEI, and your email address and they'll mail you back a code.

So once I get that code, I don't ever have to worry about waiting for an exploit to come out after every update? Like... I'll be all set no worries and can jailbreak right away?
If your bootloader is unlocked then you can just install a custom recovery over the stock recovery image (people here like TWRP), use it to flash SuperSU, and then you're off to the races.
You are no longer dependent upon someone finding privilege escalation security holes in the OS that would permit rooting (and would no doubt get patched out in a future OTA).
The caveat here is that if you replace the recovery image and flash SuperSU, you will no longer be able to update your device via OTA. The OTA update process relies upon having a stock recovery, and it will often choke anyway if there are files in the system partition that should not be there (such as what will happen if you're rooted).
Easiest way to get updates in the future would be to SBF it it back to stock, take OTA, then put the custom recovery back. Because you have an unlocked bootloader you have no need to worry about losing root.

I have the same problem

I have heard it mentioned that you can temporarily root the ATT/AIO/Cricket XT1045 on Android 4.4.4, but not permanently (yet). I have no idea how, though.
Can someone help us out?
I had an hour or so long talk with an AT&T employee who actually knew what they were talking about. I believe due to restrictions in ATT tech chat, he was unable to post either links or straight out tell me how to do it, but he said that it is very possible.
Perhaps people should try logging into their AT&T account and using the tech chat to see what someone can come up with.
Has any progress been made on this? I have XT1045 from Cricket Wireless (owned by AT&T) and the bootloader is not unlockable using the conventional method.

OK. Here I go. Sorry I'm kind of new to XDA. I too have a xt1045 and I just unlocked the boot loader and I too am on ATT.
I bought my phone from Motorola unlocked, idk if ATT or cricket or whatever carrier sells them unlocked too. That may affect bootloader unlocking since you may need an unlocked device to see unlock boot loader.
Now down to the bootloader code.
Make sure you are copying the code correctly from the command prompt. I think the first time I tried to unlock bootloader, I may have copied wrong or something like that. Also, I have heard reports of people retrying, have their devices verified, and getting a code to unlock bootloader. Hopefully that is the case for you guys and unlocking is a viable option.
Hope I helped
Feel free to ask me question about unlocking the bootloader.
I haven't rooted yet and I am getting ready for that.
FYI: you we're able to unlocked your bootloader only because you purchased your device directly from Motorola. The rest of us who purchased from a carrier are F*CKED.

FYI: you we're able to unlocked your bootloader only because you purchased your device directly from Motorola. The rest of us who purchased from a carrier are F*CKED.

Yeah except i was only replying to him saying if you got your moto G from a carrier it's locked always your f**ked , and that aint so ..
And I didn't say carrier unlocked uh I got it from a carrier new , so yeah soon as I opened the box and entered bootloader it said unlocked yes and no warning screen upon boot either saying this device has been unlocked .
For you guys with At&T-XT1045 or any try this k , Lemme know if it worked
1.) Unlink your Device from motorola ID which means dont be signed in from your device in settings menu -unlink it & don't log in with your google account neithaa dawg.
2.) Unlink from motorola site if needed if option is there
3.) Sign into website and drag the entire policy bar to the bottom (like you read it in entirety) click I agree and check for key eligibility again
4.) Try again with IE 11 if you haven't used it already
5.) recheck your string letter for freakin letter removes all spaces make sure you include # signs try one more time.. There are 4-5 spaces when you just copy/paste the string so paste the code into notepad with any extra spaces deleted please.
See here from about 3:00 on -->> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjsO7t5ulhw
6.) If all that failed spend $25 get http://theroot.ninja/ ( for only 5.01 or lower - doesn't work on 5.02 I heard)
7.) If all else has failed head to thee motorala-forumwhere they are informing moto G owners to send email with their fastboot oem get_unlock_data + fastboot getvar al, and they should be able to accomodate you..
8.) Proceed to adb Sideload or Flash This Total Sauciness Either Way Moto G 2014 Owners

Does not work for me, i have Moto G 4G XT1045 from ATT.
Anyone tried to Flash another firmware? i will try that i'll bring news here, hope my IMEI don't desappear :/
Grettings!
If you are new to Motorola this will be good news, you will be able to unlock your bootloader day one if you have the pure edition (maybe even the style will be available but this would depend on your carrier). The process is almost identical to the HTC unlock bootloader method.
Few things to note:
-This will probably void your warranty. User @nikeman513 has reported his warranty says void on the Motorola website after unlocking his bootloader. But Motorola says it was a mistake and it will not void your bootloader. Confusing but it looks like we can unlock without losing warranty. Still unlock at your risk
-This has been tested by @Aftashok and others and confirmed to work on the Pure Edition (Style has not been tested).
-Lastly I am not responsible for any issues you may find during the process, this is informational only and do it at your own risk.
NOTE: Keep in mind this will factory wipe your phone and you will have to set it up again.
Before you start go into settings ->about phone -> software info and rapid click the build number until you enable developer options. After that go into developer options and enable "oem unlock". Now you are ready to continue.
1. Install Motorola Driver
2. Download ADB (or google it if you want the pure tool and not a toolkit)
3. Power off your device (keep it unplugged from the PC at this point)
4. Power device back on while holding volume down and the power button for 5 seconds
5. Once you see the bootloader screen plug in your device to the PC
6. Navigate to the location where your ADB is installed in file explorer and hold the shift key and right click. Select "Open command window here"
7. Type "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" in command prompt
8. Copy the code that is shown and paste it in notepad (I always right click on the top of the window and click Edit->Mark then highlight the code and right click on the top again and do Edit->copy)
9. Go to Motorla's page and login/create an account.
10. Paste code and click "Can my device be unlocked"
11. Agree to terms and click "Request Unlock Key" this will send you an email
12. Once you get the email with your unlock code paste the following in command prompt "fastboot oem unlock YOURKEY" (no "'s and replace YOURKEY with the key they emailed you)
13. Now you have an unlocked bootloader and are ready to flash a custom recovery when it is ready.
(this is simply informative, this process is tried and true and the method Motorola set up for an unlock, I take no credit for any of this)
So the phone comes out of the box in "locked" mode then?

Don't see how they can do that, since they won't be selling it.
Pin this thread
This seems like just the kind of post that should be Pinned......
please
This is for the bootloader which is different than a carrier unlock.
Out of the box you will be able to activate this phone on any carrier.
If you wish to flash kernels, recoveries, etc then an unlocked bootloader is required.
Great man Thanks, Just way for mi device
Motorola's twitter support said they don't have info on whether or not moto x pure will be unlockable
Edit: p3droid stated it will be unlockable

If you purchased Motorola's accidental coverage plan I'm assuming this would be a bad idea then?

It has to be, the play and the G are unlockable there is no logical reason why this pure edition wont be.
That really depends. Sometimes you can do this and have no issues relocking. Assuming there isn't a counter and you can at least get the phone to power up. If they have some kind of counter then yes, its probably a bad idea.
Frankly I don't care for such insurance plans. Unless you're super accident prone. I've cracked exactly one screen in all the devices I've had and it was still usable. Hell its still a backup phone if my current one goes tits up. Then again I'm also not afraid to get in there and replace a screen on my own making $75 up front much less attractive. Would take two breaks to pay for itself. Buddy of mine dropped his S6 the day he got it while sitting on the crapper at best buy. Screen went buh bye. YMMV

Did you order it from motorola directly? Was it unlocked? You may want to head over to the moto g forums for assistance. I will remove that note from the OP if it does not work but the Moto X Play works for sure. This pure edition should work and we will confirm it in a couple of days as the devices arrive.

Yes, unlocked direct from Moto Maker. I can check over in the forums but when I pasted the output into Moto's site it said that bootloader unlocking was not supported on the device.
I'll try again later.
just an fyi, Clocks over at AC Forums asked moto support and they mentioned bootloader unlocking will not void warranty. fwiw..

So I wonder if it'll be the same as unlocked a Nexus? Just enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings and fastboot oem unlock.
Either way mine will be unlocked the day it arrives!

Yeah same with HTC they say they "may" void your warranty but you still have a chance for them to service your device if needed. I'm not worried. Flash power is worth it
