I ordered a regular Moto G 16GB from the internet and it arrived today. In the seller's site there was no model declaration.
When I received the device the box mentioned XT1033 with two IMEIs and really there were two SIM slots. I didn't order the dual sim version... But I didn't care. But, the software itself doesn't look like it knows there a second slot. And after checking, CPU-Z says I have the model "XT1032 (falcon_retgb)" and the Play Store says my device is XT1032.
Not that I care so much, but how exactly?? I'm new to this but I don't want to use a device that's been rooted and unlocked before I received it.
You can check if it is unlocked by going into bootloader. (vol down+power button while phone is off)
If it is unlocked then relocked, it will show status code 2 ( not sure, can't check now, but if it is never unlocked, it will be 0)
It seems like the seller flashed single sim rom on it, as it has 2 slots but it does not show in the software.

Thanks for the answer. The status code is 0, which according to what you said means it was never unlocked. So how come the firmware thinks I have XT1032? Do you or someone has any explanation? Or a link or something?
Interesting... I have no idea, maybe I'm wrong about something. I hope someone with more knowledge can answer you

So after searching some more for info I can clarify my question a bit:
I received the Moto G from an authorized retailer (sealed with a label). It is XT1033 (I think India/Asia version) with a 4.4.2 Britain XT1032 stock ROM, and although it sounds like the retailer flashed it like in this guide, the bootloader says "Device is LOCKED. Status code: 0". So... How is this possible? Do you think someone really flashed it or am I missing something? And should I try to revert it back to the dual SIM ROM?

Contact the company first and let them know and then let them tell you what to do'n't so you do risk loosing your warranty.
Well, you could just flash the Asian firmware (dualsim) even with the bootloader locked. And no, It won't void your warranty as they are signed images and basically no way for them to know even if they cared.
After getting help from you and from other fellows from the Motorola forum, I came to two conclusions:
An official Motorola firmware can be installed on the device with a locked bootloader (while only custom firmware cannot be installed). This means anyone can flash the XT1032 firmware to an XT1033 without any problem, and keep the bootloader at status "0".
After checking the firmware installation date (see here), I can say with 99% confidence that the firmware was flashed before the device left the factory. The installation/flashing date is earlier than the date written on the box label. That means it is probably Motorola's fault.
Now I don't want to blame Motorola here, first because I'm not totally sure that this is exactly what happened and second because as far as it looks to me, it is a so minor fault that is easily reversible. In fact, I get updates faster than most dual-SIM users (the device gets XT1032 updates) but if in the future I'll need the dual function - I can switch.
Please correct me if anything is wrong.

What do you mean by saved cid? Is your phone carrier locked? Or what are you trying to say? You should pick a stock fw, which is at least your country/region better also from your carrier. It may also not be available at the site i mentioned.
If it is not available you could try and make a request. See the op of this thread
There is no such thing as an "unlocked bootloader" XT910 nor any other OMAP chipset Motorola device unless it is an engineering model with an NS bootloader.
There is no OEM unlock available for those devices and there never will be as the bootloader was never designed to be unlocked.
Motorola themselves have stated as much publicly.
This person has wiped their CID. partition in order to successfully flash a firmware from a different region onto his device.
He should seek advice in the proper forum fro those who have experience with this type of cross flashing issue.
It is precisely as a result of the locked bootloader status of these devices that these kinds of issues arise when users attempt to update their device with firmware not intended for their specific hardware or regional configuration.
Uh thanks for the heads up, wasn't aware of that. I assumed that motorola devices would be all similiar with this.

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.

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..

There's no unofficial (as in not via samsung) way to unlock the bootloader. If it were to be done, it would have to be through Samsung/the carrier you bought it from, which is highly unlikely seen as unlocking bootloaders isn't something samsung is known to do or advocate in any shape or form. Pretty much, it's locked permanently or it's unlocked. If they sold it as bootloader unlocked, you would have to take it up with the seller. And make sure it wasn't sold as "SIM unlocked" because that's a completely different thing obviously.
To give some context, for the galaxy S5 there was an almost $20,000 reward for finding a bootloader unlock. Link here. The best that could be achieved was root, and that was pretty difficult iirc. The Galaxy S4 had a security key that was estimated wouldn't be cracked until 2030, the only way around that was exploiting the security chain in the S4 boot. This wasn't possible on the S5 and, I would bet, isn't going to be possible on the S6

The G920X is a dual sim model which should be the same as G9200. I dont why it has different serious for same model selling.
From some of articles, lastest CROM service could unblock the S6 BL.
Just a warmly reminder, unblock BL would lose the warrenty afterwards.
Are you aware of this impact since you just bought a couple days ago.
If you do want to unblock the device without concern, could you kindly do me a favour for some verification on CDMA. Many thanks!:good:

I send a SMS for the unblock and root information of AT&T G920T and G925T.
It is found that there has a unblock bootloader version for SM-G9200. Please search within the website.
As per searching in the internet, SM-G9200 has China and Hong Kong version, both of them are using the same serious. Not so sure, some guys claime they are the same hardware and capability.
But the tricky thing is the China one support CDMA/CDMA2000 ( with 7 mode), however, the Hong Kong one (with 5 mode) does not, which indicates the HK block the baseband function for CDMA.
Therefore, that is the reason why I ask for the favor to flash the China baseband firmware on you HK device.

Well noted, I just assumed both G920T and G9200 are BL locked, but could unblock by using some tools.

Well,
maybe is too late, but I've got a Samsung Galaxy S6, SM-G9200, bought in china, with the bootloader locked.
I was able to unlock the bootloader with this apk.
There are 2 apk-s, but I guess both are the same.
Maybe too late, but at least there you have for any other with SM-G9200 bootloader locked.

Hi everybody,
I followed this thread and used the S6-CDROM.apk to unlock the bootloader. It said "you can now install a custom rom". So I downloaded Odin and the respective files from "autoroot.chainfire" and tried to root my phone. Odin said "Success" but the phone was stuck at the boot screen with a message "Recovery mode not enforced" (or similar, sorry can't remember), and the phone hung completely. Fortunately I had installed "Smart Switch" from Samsung on my notebook and the "emergency reinitialization" worked and all my data and apps are still there.
For the time being I am done with root.
Keep up the good work guys!

Odin said "Success" but the phone was stuck at the boot screen with a message "Recovery mode not enforced" (or similar, sorry can't remember), and the phone hung completely. Fortunately I had installed "Smart Switch" from Samsung on my notebook and the "emergency reinitialization" worked and all my data and apps are still there.
For the time being I am done with root.
Keep up the good work guys!

That method is only for 5.0.2.
If you are on 5.1.1, you need to flash a custom kernel with root.

well my friend sry but you can't restore this code
most of devices like samsung,motorola etc they have.... lets say a key for the bootloader(is the door) and this key if you root your device
breaks and the half key stays inside the door hole to reminds you that the key is broken(the devicesis root/unlockbootloader).
so if you root any motorola device the code state goes
automatically 2 and stays like this,you can flash again the stock rom and relock the bootloader sure
but the code stays 2 for ever.
i hope to help you

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but I think the jist of it is how do you relock the bootloader... the answer is you cannot, once it is unlocked it will always report as unlocked, even if you reflash stock and find a way to relock the device.
When you unlocked your device, it was plainly stated in the disclosure on the website that once the bootloader is unlocked, it is irreversible.
yeap

YEAAA we say the same think,but i use an othey way to say it.
i say in the end you can relock the bootloader (more or less) when i say this i mean that you put some partitions back in boot loader
so when you flash the stock rom you can take any ota update,but the main bootloader is unlock always.
i know that form my old moto g2gen, moto x2013!!!

You could relock the bootloader on older Motos, but not anymore... Actually, it can be relocked but it will never report as locked or relocked, it will always be reported as unlocked. I don't how to be more plain in describing this.
And yes, you can take an OTA when unlocked, as long as you have a stock ROM and recovery and your bootloader is the correct version for your ROM. If your bootload and ROM are out of sync (ie. you have a Marshmallow bootloader and a Lollipop ROM), if your bootloader and ROM are out of sync, you could potentially get into a hard bricked situation.
ohh!!

Once I sent my hard bricked phone to Motorola. I had unlocked the bootloader and done the stupid mistake of sideloading an older version and upgrading to a newer, but still older version. When it came back, it said it was Status Code 0.
Wonder how they did it.

They flash the eMMC chip (internal storage chip) directly... If you could get the right image you could possibly do it yourself with a few hundred to thousand dollar investment in a proper JTAG flashing unit.
Key would be getting the right Image, this would be far more than just a normal stock fastboot image, and is probably generated on the fly per device due to differences in serial number, IMEI, etc. These types of images don't get leaked out.

You unlocked the bootloader... It doesn't matter if you actually changed anything else or not. Once it's been done, this status code can never go back to 0. If the status code is 2 and you didn't unlock the bootloader, then someone else did.

No I didn't.. I don't even know how to.. I just found out about recovery mode.. Wait wait before i say that.. How do you unlock boot loader? Turning developer mode on? Going to recovery menu? I've never hard reset it.. Just soft or doing new device. You said it could work fine for a while then shirt out? Like guy I bought from did and then I bought used for couple years and then went tits up?

You unlock the bootloader with a series of steps that includes submitting a code to Motorola and getting an unlock code back... Performing it forces a factory reset as well. It's not something you can do by accident.
The issue with Status Code 2 was that an official update could have detected that and refused to update properly or done something worse... That never happened.
If everything is working fine, the status being 2 isn't important, it just means the previous owners had unlocked the bootloader and likely rooted or otherwise modified the phone.
I read the threads related to LG G5 from buyspry seller. Sadly I cannot revert the order I made on ebay I need to need few important things(to me) as I will be stuck with this Phone. I live in Bangladesh so I definitely cannot use it w/o SIM UNLOCKED.
I have known that If I upgrade or downgrade I will lose SIM UNLOCK.
Also I cannot root (till now) as it requires downgrade.
And I will be stuck with firmware it came in from the seller.
But still , Here are the things I really need to know :
1. If I compromise myself to use that firmware 20i_un (UNLOCKED) forever it comes from seller & do no modifications will the Phone be perfectly fine?
2. Does that awkward firmware gives or will give any OTA update? Cause if it gives and that accidentally gets installed I am screwed with a T-Mobile Locked device.
3. I will use my local GSM SIM , Will I be able to use Portable Hotspot with that ROM? (I couldn't, with my G2 At&t Unlocked stock At&t ROM)
4. Apart from any upgrade/downgrade(ROM flashing) is there any way I might lose UNLOCK???
Please guys, please do help me with these topics. I just recently damaged my LG G2 and lost a phone Xiaomi MI 4 (Mugged) I really am screwed

1) Probably.
2) Probably not.
3) No idea. You'd have to discuss that with your carrier.
4) Probably not, but it's still not clear how they achieved unlock via the ROM so who knows?

You lose unlock if you ever update or do anything to the ROM. Phone is garbage unless you're on Tmobile. Obviously you are going to want to update it eventually because it's assumed that LG will be issuing an official Oreo update.
I bought the device and reverted it to official firmware. With a few (lengthy) calls to Tmobile I eventually got them to white list my device for the Sim unlock app to work. I was first told that it was impossible for them to do because it wasn't a Tmobile device, meaning not purchased through tmobile (not sure how buyspry got them, maybe corporate wholesale or something).
I sent a bunch of photos to them showing the box and other tmobile documentation that came with the phone. They agreed to unlock it and after about a week's wait while tech support was working out the specifics, the app successfully unlocked it.
I am on tmobile but told them I preferred to have it unlocked if necessary for international travel.
So yeah, long story short if you're not on tmobile and have no way to get tmobile to officially unlock it return the device. Complain to eBay that the device had hacked firmware or whatever (which is 100% true) and they will let you return it.
