This may sound silly but remove spaces before you enter the code into their website.

Yup, formatting is pretty essential there. I thought they would do the required formatting server-side but no.

How to unlock bootloader.?

Hi i have a tesco UK moto.G with sim unlocked to any network.
I have tried to get an unlock code for the bootloader but when i enter my string on the Motorola website it
states bootloader can not be unlocked and no code is given or a link to ask for one.
So can anyone advise me how i might unlock the bootoader so i can root and install a recovery.
Is there a simple step by step available...
many thanks

Any spaces in the string? Removed the word [Bootloader] ? Used all the lines of the string?
I can get a device ID, and my device is listed as supported, but I am getting "Device not found" error when verifying that my device is eligible for unlock. Why?
This error means that our unlock tool checked our online database but could not find a match between the Device ID/Unlock Data you submitted and any device in our database. This should only happen if the device data entered is not correct, or there are delays in updates to our device database.

I can retrieve a device ID, and my device is listed as supported, but I am getting another error. Why?
"DEVICE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR UNLOCK" ERROR
This error means that our unlock tool checked our online database and determined your device and carrier combination is not part of our unlockable bootloader program and, therefore can not be unlocked. Some of our operator partners do not allow unlockable devices on their networks. That is why a device with one operator may be unlockable, but the same model with a different carrier might not.

So in short the tesco moto.G can not have its bootloader unlocked..??
I did not buy it from Tesco so sry, no answer.......

your device does not have the ability to unlock the bootloader

First sorry about my english
Im trying unlock the bootloader , but when i click to get a code show this message "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking "
i tried get send email to motorola and i recieve this email " The reason why you are getting this message is because your device does not have the ability to unlock the bootloader. Since your software does not have those qualifications, unfortunately there is no way to provide you with a code"
Have another method to unlock the bootloader ?
Have you tried using Motochopper?
If your device has been unlocked previously (IE sold used) then you are not eligible for another bootloader unlock.

How check if my bootloader is locked
Please advise
It will be locked unless you unlocked it.
However, dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto service info, configuration.
The last line will tell you the status of the bootloader.

Have you tried doing it yet, the instructions are quite obvious if you try it.
I found mine say Bootloader unlocked allowed: yes… --does it mean that I have already an unlocked bootloader?

No, it means you are allowed to unlock it.
If it was unlocked it would say
Bootloader unlocked: yes
Please remember it is impossible to unlock the bootloader by mistake, you have to go through several steps (17 steps from the Sony instructions if I remember correctly)
So unless you have done that it will be locked, no device is shipped with an unlocked bootloader

You unlock bootloader with the official apk, so you cannot relock it, and moreover, like it's explain when you install the official apk for unlocking bootloader, your warranty is now void. I remember it was written when i unlocked bootloader on my zenfone 3 with the official asus apk.

Thank you for your reply.
I want to relock my zenfone.
When I boot up the phone, I get the same sentence.
It is not related to the warranty of the phone.
This is Korea, not the place where the asus phone is regularly distributed, but it does not repair the trouble in Korea asus.
Knowing this, I bought the phone.
I just want to keep that sentence no more when the phone boot.
When relocking again, the sentence seems to be rattling and asking questions.
I want to know how to relock.
I am also looking for an original recovry and boot img that fits this phone.
If I can save those files, I think relock is possible.
Or I would like to find a way in this phone that this phrase can be paved.
Thank you.
I will read your writing carefully.

You can not get rid of the message, even if you relock the boot loader.
Help unlock bootloader zenfone 5q (x017da)
I don't have a high enough post count to start my own thread, but this is the closest related thread I could find. If I should post this somewhere else, please advise.
I tried the official unlock bootloader apk and I keep getting an error message. It says it is an unknown error message and it may be a network issue. I tried troubleshooting on the zentalk forum. They asked for my Imei number and then told me the servers are fine that I'd be using and I would need to have support perform "Imei checking". Support had no idea what that meant. The zentalk support person suggested I ask for help here as they can not provide any additional assistance.
I've looked and using adb and fastboot I can get my phone into fastboot, but then after echo>key.txt I try:
fastboot oem get_unlock_key key.txt
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
My goal with unlocking the bootloader is to try to enable gcam and hopefully improve the camera capabilities.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what steps to unlock the bootloader? I don't believe there is any way to use gcam without unlocking the bootloader first, but I'd there is a way to do that, I'd appreciate some direction.
Thanks.

Yes, you can get the unlock code via a paid service like "DC Unlocker" => https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code

I can't help... I never used this software. But if HiSuite is correctly installed and your phone is in "manufacturer mode", maybe your firmware is too recent so you may need to downgrade/rollback it.
