Hello fellow community members. I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader for my XT1032. Apparently through conventional means, I am unable to unlock my Moto G's bootloader. For whatever reason, the AT&T variant cannot be unlocked through the Motorola website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At this time it is not possible to unlock the bootloader for aio/cricket moto g. And to be honest I don't think anyone is trying to figure it out.
It is now possible to unlock moto g with sunshine app but cost $25

so,i switched to cricket yesterday night.
and i was looking at phones that wouldnt break the bank and moto g seemed perfect,its a xt1032.
from what i know,xt1032's can have the bootloader unlocked on moto's website,but since cricket was bought by att its apparently a att bootloader because moto site says im not eligible for the unlock? sorry if this is really noobish but can someone explain the situation with bootloader unlocks for me please,i dont have alot of time to research.
Thank You for your Help!

im in the same crappy spot!
Still waiting on root for my Moto G 4G LTE also
I too am STUCK
apparently on 4.4.2 you could can not as of yet. I doubt one will come, it appears both the software and the bootloader is very secure. Don't hold your breath if this phone gets updated to lollipop. Best option is to sell the moto g on ebay and purchase another moto g that is factory unlocked and not tied to att. I will never puchase a cricket/att device ever again
Yes, I unlocked my Cricket (AIO) xt1032 with Sunshine. http://theroot.ninja/
(it costs 25$ to do it though...and it won't work on 4.4.4, but Cricket/AIO never pushed the 4.4.4)

ohhh lucky you but isnt that the non-LTE motoG?
Yeah, the xt1032 is the non-lte version
So basically, all of us with Cricket branded devices running 4.4.4 are screwed, and never getting Lollipop?
I chatted with a Cricket rep the other day and they said they have no plans to upgrade XT1045 to Lollipop.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why Motorola won't give out bootloader unlock codes for these devices?

Because at will not let you unlock the boot loader to your device. As many of us know cricket was bought out by att. So now cricket is now a part of att network and att will not let Motorola let their customers unlock their boot loader through their website. If the moto g LTE is on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 then you can easily go to the root.ninja website and they will unlock it for a price of 25 bucks. Once its unlocked that boot loader cannot be locked again even after a system update. As for lollipop I am not sure that they will or will not give the system update for the moto g LTE. Cricket is well known for not knowing what they are talking about when it comes to their devices. But if you can unlock the boot loader then theirs really no need to wait for the system update as cm12 is just as good as lollipop. In my opinion its better than stock lollipop

I am not a customer of AT&T or Cricket. I should have the right to do whatever I want to my phone. This would probably lead to nothing, but I wonder if any legal avenue can be taken here.

As I to feel like we should be able to do whatever we want to with the phones we buy. However the agreement between Verizon and at with Motorola prohibits them to let us unlock our devices through Motorola website. Which means that we have to find a way through other means like developers finding a loophole. This thing has been going on for years with Verizon and att. Even though you bought the phone outright from cricket, they are still att branded phones which blocks you from unlocking the easy and free way. However with sprint and tmobile your able to unlock it. I have the boost mobile CDMA moto g and had no trouble on the Motorola website. If you can go through the legal avenue on this one and achieve then you have no idea how many hands would be shaking yours from att and Verizon.lol
Hello,
Is there a way to carrier unlock the Moto G XT1031 on 4.4.4 from BoostMobile? I bought it certified pre-owned and I want to use it on TracFone. I read a few posts on the Internet that say that say unlocking the phone won't work past 1/15/2015... is this still the case on pre-owned devices? Or just for new devices bought after that date?
I'm a huge noob at this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well you don't carrier unlock cdma phones you flash them to another carrier. As for moto g on any thing else but boost sorry it is a no go. Unless like the lg g2 it is possible to say take a rom from vzw and put it on the boost variant and make it a verizon. The lg g2 sprint can be carrier unlocked by flashing a tmobile rom that has been modded. Found that out here on xda and did it.
I found out the hard way that the bootloader on Moto G 1st Gen originally sold by AT&T CANNOT be factory unlocked. When you submit the character string to the Motorola Bootloader Unlock web site, it tells you that the device does not qualify. When you search forums for answers you find out that bootloaders in Moto G and Moto G LTE sold by AT&T do not qualify for boot loader unlocking.
What I am trying to find out is whether this is also true of Moto G 1st Gen devices sold by AT&T MVNO's such as Cricket.
Has anyone reading this ever unlocked the bootloader on a Moto G 1stGen originally sold by Cricket?
I really do not want to find and buy one and find out that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. I have one of those from AT&T already.
Thanks
