Do you have the Razr HD XT925 or XT926? One is for Verizon, and the other isn't.
One can unlock the bootloader (XT925) via Motorola & void warantee, the other (XT926 for Verizon) can't be unlocked.
What are you trying to accomplish? What is "locked"? These are things that are needed to be known to give any kind of suggestions or ideas.

The phone does have a GSM radio in it that will work fairly well on other networks. I would read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591954
It should help to lead you in the right direction
has anyone been able to get the bootloader unlocked on the cdma version for verizon of the moto g? or anyone know their way around fastboot or had any luck rooting it without having to unlock the bootloader? i just previously ordered this phone and would love to have it at least rooted even tho the verizon version is still in the works. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't seen anything yet. I'm still looking though

Hello XDA,
If I unlocked the bootloader of a G920V, would it effectively become a G920F?
Would it then be able to be rooted, and be able to flash other software?
Thanks.

There is no way to be able to unlock the bootloader. If you did it would not change the model number. If you are still on Software version OE2 you can root and then flash my ROM or the other few in the forums. But you will not flash ROMS from other carriers.
So even if I unlock from the carrier, and am on BOG5 for the G920V, I am not able to root my phone or flash other ROMs/softwares?

Unlocking from carrier =/= Unlocking bootloader

Unlocking from your carrier is not the same as unlocking the bootloader.
If you have the Verizon version of the phone then you will not be unlocking the bootloader anytime soon. Unlocking the phone to use on another carrier may be possible but the bootloader will remain locked.
If rooting or customising is more your thing you may consider buying out the phone from Verizon and simply buying a new one with the new carrier.
Correct after I moved the phone off their network and it was soley owned by me, I spent hours on the phone with multiple Verizon employees. I explained I wanted my bootloader unlocked and they refused to do so. Most of the employees had no idea what I was talking about. The one that did know what I was talking about spent nearly an hour searching for someone who would do it for me only to be told due to policy they do not unlock bootloaders. Most of them exclaimed they cannot because they did not lock it Samsung did, which I knew was a lie because Verizon updates the bootloader. I even went as far as going into the FCC rules. They gave 0.
Thanks for trying !
You bought the phone with the bootloader locked. Verizon and Samsung have no legal obligation to unlock it for you. FCC won't do anything.

Root has been achieved on a lot of phones with locked bootloaders, but what does that have to do with this thread? The S6 had root, when it was on the OE2 build, with a locked bootloader.

This. Whether or not the bootloader has been unlocked does not mean you do or do not have root. Samsung phones are all testament to that.
Hello Guys @ XDA.
I need HELP unlocking the bootloader of my Moto G 4G XT1045 Cricket mobile phone.
Please Help
Thanks in Advance.
Go to the Motorola Bootloader Unlocking site and follow the instructions on the site.
Google that, and you should be able to unlock your phone at a bootloader level.
That won't work. You'll just get a message about this device not being eligible for unlocking or something like that.

DC-Unlocker might be both your/OP's best bet if that works, but if it does not, then sadly, you might be stuck with a phone that you cannot do much, and believe me, it sucks as my brother-in-law had a Sony Xperia neo that was locked to T-Mobile, and therefore bootloader-locked, as a SIM-locked phone usually has its bootloader locked as well.
Update: after checking out the site, Motorola phones aren't supported.
Update #2: Check this out, but this will leave you $25 lighter on your wallet:

Unless something has changed recently, Sunshine doesn't work either because it's 4.4.4. Even if it did- yeah, it probably doesn't make much sense to spend more money than the phone is worth to unlock it. ?
