Ok I have researched this tablet and software for over a week now and I finally realized that there isn't a way to root or unlock the boot loader.I called a Phone unlocking service and they told me they could root and unlock the boot loader for $30.If they can unlock it then how come we don't know how to do it?This tablet is useless without it.Can I get some help from the Devs or people that is also having this problem??
???

Hey all. My early upgrade is this weekend so I'm going to but a gs3 but I must be able to root and unlock boot loader.
Was looking at the unlock app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez.unlock
And see that the recent reviews saying they are having issues unlocking boot loader since update from Verizon.
Is the app broken now And or did they patch the phone so u cant unlock the boot loader?
I don't amt to buy this phone then end up not being able to unlock the bootloader (I can't stand anything other than aosp)
Lmk. Also how would I go about unlocking the boot loader without using that app or is that the only way to do so?
This is posted all over this forum. However, all you need to do is search for version 1.2 and it will unlock the bootloader, after you root, of course.

The developer recommends version 1.2 and you can get that from here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
There is a way to unlock the bootloader manually, but that takes a bit more effort and some terminal coding. I would definitely recommend just downloading EZ-Unlock v1.2 and using that. It's just a push of a button! That's what I did.
At the risk of being reprimanded.....
My phone is rooted and I have unlocked the boot-loader with One click "ez bootloader unlock." I have flashed numerous ROM's and continue to flash various ROM's... After flashing each new ROM and getting through the initial setup, I download ClockWorkMod from the play store, if not already part of the ROM, and then "One click ez bootloader unlock." I then run the "One click ez bootloader unlock" and then the ClockWorkMod for my model phone. I do this each time I flash a new ROM.
My question is whether this is unnecessary or not? I see that the later versions of "One click ez bootloader unlock" have a re-lock option, but I am unclear as whether or not it is unnecessary to unlock the boot-loader each and every time a person flashes a new ROM? Or under what circumstances would a person need to unlock their boot-loader after successfully unlocking it the first time?
It seems to me that once the boot-loader is successfully unlocked that a person would not have to unlock it again unless they ODIN back to Stock OEM, but I have not been able to google or search these forums successfully to find an answer, and for that I apologize, because I'm sure it's here somewhere, and some "Senior Member" will be quick to jump at the opportunity to point that out to me.... After a healthy dose of liquid courage, I am reluctantly asking the question here.... And if someone is so kinda as to answer my question, who knows, maybe it will help some other person who has the same question, but is afraid to ask, because of the harshness and lack of patience of some "Senior Members?"
A sincere thank you in advance to anyone who might answer my question. :fingers-crossed:
The only time you need to re-unlock the bootloader is if you Odin back to stock.

i dont rely on those root checkers, download an app that needs root and make sure it gets granted. also go into the settings of su and make sure the binaries are up to date, they usually are not. after that try the unlock tool again, im betting you have outdated binaries.

I believe the utility dowloads an .apk that you have to open to get the bootloader unlocked. When I unlocked the BL on my M, I just used the stand-alone Motopocalypse tool.

Your screenshot shows that you are not on the latest update, so you should be able to unlock it, unless someone already had previously updated it then rolled back to that version. However, that version is 2 OTAs ago, so I would think it has never been updated. When I ran the stand alone Apocalyse utility, I had to run it about five times. Finally, during the last (and successful) try, I decided to wake up the phone. When I did this, there was a screen from my SuperSU asking to grant SU access to ADB. I granted it and the utility completed immediately and I was finally unlocked. When you run the Motopocalypse utility, you need to be booted into the OS.
What apocalypse utility link you rooted with do you have one. I have no luck with this . I able to wipe the phone install root but can't unlock the boot loader. So I gave up and figure out how to take root out and go back to stock. I give up unless someone else ideal how to do it.

You need to tell us more info. What firmware version on your device when you bricked? Can you still get into download mode? BTW, there is no way to unlock bootloder if you're on 4.3/4.4 firmware. You could unlock if using third party service for a fee of $50.00.

Please don't say F*c* you easy unlock when it was not the EZ unlock app, but you who hard bricked your phone. There was plenty of info around these forums warning about the bootloader being locked and the fact that use of the EZ unlock app would result in a brick. All you had to do to avoid this situation was do a little research ahead of time. Here is just one such thread where the information was readily available:

4.4.2 Not the patched geohot kernel
I would like to keep my limited Motorola warranty. So I don't want to unlock the bootloader.... I just want root for basic things. But rooting this phone seems twice as difficult than my Galaxy S5.
I've searched around and found temp root methods. But no permanent ones.
I wouldn't mind unlocking the bootloader if it could be locked again and Motorola wouldn't know.
So I could use some help/guidance.
Thanks

Sorry bro, when you wish to unlock the boot loader, you send your device id to Motorola, so even if you relock the bootloader, they'll still have it in their records....
To get permanent root, the only current method is through unlocking the bootloader to be allowed to flash root.
Cheers
I used to worry about warranty too.
Now I just don't care anymore, and I've never regretted unlocking, on some 25+ test devices now.
If the device was returned to a store, I don't think they'll check Moto's database.
If I was worried about a bootup warning, and I didn't feel there were any moral issues (device is broken already anyway), I would just brick the phone. They can recover from that at the service centre anyway.
I DID return a phone to a store once which would not boot at all. They FREAKED out because they said they needed to boot it to see a number. Maybe they were just looking for tamper evidence, I don't know.
Anyway, that's 40 minutes of my life (plus the drive) I'll never get back, because they could not follow the normal return procedures.
And in the end they had to accept the return of course. You'd think they must have had SOME returns of completely dead phones before...
Hi, guys. I have an SC-02G. And I'm from the Philippines. My problem are the docomo apps and the phone is still locked. I really want to get rid of them and get the phone unlocked here. So I researched for ways to remove the docomo apps, from what I've gathered, they all say that I have to root the phone and flash a new ROM. But I have no idea on how to do those things. As for the unlocking, I have to pay for the service of a technician to unlock it. But he said I have to downgrade to Lollipop first before he can perform the unlocking. I researched again but came up with nothing. I'm just a newbie. I'm really sorry but I need help from you, guys. Thanks!!!
