Your device does not support unlocking bootloader - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any strong solution ? I tried via Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, nothing seem to work.
Any help will be appreciated
thank you Sagar Khanapurkar

Just got my Moto G. I tried to unlock my bootloader from the Moto site and I'm having problems as well. I'm positive I'm entering the code correctly and its saying my device doesn't qualify. On the forum thread my CID number shows that it should be eligible for unlock unlock. Apparently Moto hasn't replied with the response in the forum thread, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens happens. I'm ready to root this mofo also.

Failed by opening bootloader

Bootloader Unlock

Hi
I have problem motorola not allow to unlock my bootloader with this massege:
Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.
This Photon Q is from Sprint .

Copy and paste the code. It has to match EXACTLY.

Again, if you even get 1 character wrong, the unlock will fail.
Do not post the code publicly, first part of it is your IMEI.

I didn't quote the code for a reason. Skrilax_CZ recommended you remove it, and I would concur.
Edit your post and remove the code. I never wanted you to paste it in here, sorry I did not make that clear.
At any rate, all I can say is make VERY sure that the code you are provided is the SAME code you are using for the fastboot command.
I didn't even think about asking - but I assume you're not using it as a CDMA device. Did you buy one with a bad ESN? If so, I wonder if they prevent bad ESN devices from being officially unlocked...
Good luck.
Oki
I find a solution after update to last new version
Download this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143437
After download and share fail with samba windows or mac sharing, you need to mount from file manage > remote storage
After fix permission go to adb folder and type : "adb shell", "cd /mnt/rfs0", "./su" , "cd /", "ln -s /mnt /storage"
Next step go to console and type :
adb kill-server
adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn
Next : Install apk package from phone , Reboot Phone and now your phone is rooted!
Update from Play Market SuperSu and go.
Best regards,

Rooting and unlocking bootloader is not the same thing.

Yes not the same but in this moment motorola support dumb to give unlock.

Where was your Q purchased? Second hand I presume?
I wonder if bad ESN devices do not qualify. Or if it has been unlocked, and relocked... perhaps it cannot be unlocked again.

Thanks for your help

[Q] error message when unlocking bootloader

So I went on the Motorola unlocking website and I have fastboot and adb all set up with working drivers but when I get the code that is shown after entering fastboot oem get_unlock_data and enter it in the "can my device be unlocked?" box ,an error message appears that says " your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking but the support page says it is eligible,any ideas?
It s a strange problem. Which model exactly is your? Can be helpful for others..
Make sure there are no spaces. Took me some time to figure out there was a space in front of the whole number

I'm having the same problem with a Moto G that I bought from Tesco. I'm sure I'm copy-pasting everything without any blank spaces...
Is it possible that Tesco's devices are not eligible for bootloader? I managed to unlock the SIM so the phone works with all providers.

[Q] Moto G Bootloader Unlock: Incorrect password

I have followed the exact steps given on the Motorola website about unlocking the bootloader.
I use XT1033 model(dual sim - India) running Android 4.4.4.
When trying to unlock bootloader, I keep getting the error: <password incorrect> <remote failure>
I have copy pasted the "unlock code" motorola had sent me, and also used the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <my_secret_alphanumeric_20_digit_key
Please help me regarding the same..
Thanks in advance.

I'm following the Motorola forum for this problem, they say that is a problem with the new kit Kat update and are working to solve it, but who knows when.
I had a code error (not at this stage, but when entering unlock string into Moto website). Copying into Word document first seemed to solve it. No harm in trying I suppose.
Copy and paste can carry text formatting with it. Manually type the code to avoid errors.

Have you checked your CID value. Some devices cannot be unlocked. I have an XT1033 16gb and i had the same problem. But my device is unlockable.
I found this at the Motorola forums.

The CID values returned is specific to each case.
$ fastboot getvar all
Mine was 0x0007. In this case the device can be unlocked!

Try adb and fastboot instead of Windroid
As I tried to explain in my post , this is not possible as the phone will not write the data sent. Thinking this is why windroid returns an error.

Did you enable OEM Unlocking the Developer Options menu? Still required...
I would also recommend doing it manually, the commands are easy and the process is simple... if something goes wrong you can see exactly what fails. Tools like Windroid are not really useful for simple tasks like this.
done oem unlock in developer options but not manually as im unsure how. please elaborate.

You need at least fastboot (you can get it from Minimal ADB & Fastboot)
Then follow the Moto official method which even using a tool you have to go through anyway to get the tokem

Failed (Remote Failure)
Finished. Total time: 0.243s
I tried searching for a fix all over internet some moto x play users were facing it but no solution.

Hmm... That all looks fine. You're bootloader doesn't show Status as ENGINEERING does it? Otherwise I got nothing, it's giving you a remote failure, which is a device issue. Lenovo official forums has a specific area to ask for assistance with unlocking.
There is no harm in turning usb debugging off, turning OEM unlocking off and turning developer options off.
Then do a factory reset
Then turn developer options on agin, usb debugging on again , OEM unlocking on again and try again via fast boot
It won't cost a penny but may help to resolve the issue

Maybe you should read the thread again, OP can't get the code from the phone with get_unlock_data at all, not issues with the Moto site... The phone is getting the correct command, it even acknowledges its an unlock command, it just fails to get data with a "Remote failure" meaning a failure inside the device.
