[Q] Failed unlocking bootloader

hey guys
i tried to unlock bootloader via motorola web site but it says my device does not qualify for unlocking
tried flashing recoveries, root zips and updated to official kitkat, but still does not work
phoned motorola support and they said motorola doesn't guarantee bootloaded getting unlocked, it depends on luck
any suggestion?
Moto XT1033 Dual 16gb BR

I had this problem too, but I checked all individuals characters of my code and deleted some spaces between them... After that check up everything worked like a charm !

After following all the proper steps for unlock of my XT1031 I am still met with the "Your device isn't eligible for unlock" message. Anyone else have this problem?

The accept box was checked.I checked pormotions and spam. Nothing.

Just as a quick add in case some didn't know the XT1031 is the Boost Mobile Moto G.

I got the same message until I double checked the code I typed in. Make sure there is no spaces and everything is pretty correct. It helps to take your unlock code and paste it in note pad. Then try that.

That is one of the first things I tried. I saw someone in a different Motorola forum having a similar problem. I went to the Moto customer support chat and they told me that the device isnt supported for unlock yet and might be in the future. I told him that other have been able to unlock and he pretty much said that he wouldn't condone using an unofficial unlock method. I told him everyone I've seen with with an unlock had done it using their website. He pretty much called me a liar.

Haha that's messed up. Dang I can't think of what else. I'm boost mobile too. It only took my two tries after I checked the second time.

Unlocking bootloader

Whenever I try to use the Asus unlocked tool to unlock my device it just says" an unknown error happend" i''ve been searching on this and couldn't find any thing helpful, I tried a tons of times over some weeks, haven't had any luck. Tried to factory reset it for then trying again. Tried to write to Asus ans they said they didn't offer support on this topic. Tried on different networks. So my question is now... Are there any other way than using the Asus tool?

Thanks for the link contacted Asus, it appears the place I brought my tablet from had used it as a demo device and they had actually sent it in to repair before I brought it, and Asus forgot to change the device Id after changing the motherboard... So have to send it in one of the coming days

Unlocking Bootloader
Does anybody know of a work around the device unlock tool? Does Odin work? Downgrade to ICS then unlocking the bootloader?

No - you have to use the Asus Unlock tool, there is nothing els (Odin is for Samsung) - what is your objection to it?

There are 2 reasons I'm aware of for it to fail:
1. Your firewall/router doesn't allow the port. I have seen people fix it by tethering to their phone, etc
2. Your Mac address is not registered to the mother board serial number in the Asus database. Call them, get on their VIP site and tell them to fix it. Lots of people have had success.

If you contact them, I would not tell them that you want to unlock. Some users have been successful anyway, but some ran into a wall of: We do not support unlocking. Seems to depend on which rep you talk to.
Tell them you can't register for device tracker and can't get OTA updates. And please report back if and how you were successful - or not....

can't unlock the tf700t bootloader
hi, ... sorry for asking again ... i'm not able to unlock my tf700t. i really tried every method i found in this forum ... there should be a method without that unlock tool?! what is asus doing with that unlock tool?! do they send a new bootloader to install?! would it be possible to install an already unlocked and copied bootloader from one tf700t to another?!
here my little history, i was getting my device from amazon 2 years ago, there was also trouble to register this device with asus, but with help of the support i could do the registration. after that i installed all the official updates till 10.6.1.14.10, but getting pissed by the behaviour of the tablet with some pauses and sudden freezes and working again after thinking about whatoever ... so i wanted to try another rom with a hopefully better and smoother behaviour of the tablet. found that nice thing called unlock tool what i should need for unlocking the bootloader. running that tool since half year daily without success! i also opend a lot of support issues by asus, with the last answer "... it should work now, if not please send in the tablet". i can't believe that this should be the only way ...
so tried a lot: downgraded to v10.4.4.18 including full wipe of all data from two years and my little one is not happy about that ... tried v7 of unlock tool, no success! (with no other apps installed) upgraded again to v10.6.14.8, tried with v8 of unlock tool. not working! currently that's my status, plus additionally i rooted the device with motochopper and throw away some of the asus preinstalled crap ... i'm able to find my device via the asus device tracker, the device is registered with asus, but the unlock is impossible ... it freaks me out ...
so is there an option to have the locked bottloader overwritten with root permissions with an unlocked one?! and second where to get that unlocked one?! ...
thanks for an answer!

Best pay method to unlock xt1080 (ULTRA)

I just wanted to know if anybody knew exactly where I can pay to get an unlock code for my Motorola Droid Ultra (XT1080). I already read the methods, but that taobao thing or whatever, I tried searching all over the internet and I just can't seem to find anything. Could someone please help because I have the money to do it and i would like to do it now.
-Regards

Go to Motorola's site and order a Developer Edition phone (Maxx or X).
Right now that is the only way to get an unlock, in any form.
Sorry, I know that is not the answer you were looking for...

Okay. Well, someone (I forget who), told me that jcase would have a new exploit released in the summer... I mean... SOMEONE out there has to figure it out sooner or later.

Don't get too excited. Jcase method is not persistent and doesn't set WP off. Simply a temp root, not an unlock.

What do you mean the code spl? The codes seemed to just stop being shipped out and lots of people ended up not getting them in time, but there was never really a clear story of what happened to the guy who had been selling them that explained why he stopped. If you know any more about it, please share!

jcase himself has come out saying that the exploit his method used would be pretty inaccessible for the layman anyhow--like there's no way to automate it and make it more dummy-proof, so I doubt we'll ever even get root at all, WP or no. Seeing how many people manage to screw up even the simpler root methods already... yeah, I don't see it happening.

The phone can STILL be unlocked by the Chinese Moto guy for $45 but it has to have been built in 2014. He no longer has the 2013 build codes.

On another thread, there was some discussion about the dates for which the unlock codes are available. Turns out 1/10/2014 is also not good enough.
So, all phones assembled in 2014 do not qualify then, it seems.

The way the sentence above is constructed, it project that ALL phones built in 2014 do not qualify for an unlock code. That's not correct.
The proper way to state that not all 2014 phones have codes would be: most, but not all, phones assembled in 2014 might be unlocked by purchasing the unlock code.

OK, I got ahead of myself. Let me explain. I am getting a new phone. I have been seriously considering the droid turbo (Verizon upgrade). I am coming from a rooted stand would like to get a phone that can be rooted. I was hoping that the phone being unlocked would quickly lead to root. If you think that is likely, I will order the phone today.
I really would like a rootable phone. But, figuring out the process is way beyond me. ?

I think there is a miss understanding here guys. This doesn't unlock your device unless you have a code. All it does is make it easier if you don't know the fastboot commands. This won't unlock a turbo unless you have a unique code.
