I have a XT1033 (16gb dual sim) and I am unable to unlock my bootloader through the motorola website. I get the "your device does not qualify" message. I've tried contacting Motorola through many venues and in many different times but they have not been able to solve my problem.
And please don't say it is because I'm not inputing the correct code in the website, the code is perfect, that is not the problem.
So I was wondering, are there any alternative ways to unlock my bootloader?
I stumbled upon CF-Auto-Root and it seems promising, but I am not sure wheter or not it is a good idea to use it given that I am on a newer Android version than what they have on their repository (autoroot.chainfire.eu) - the repository is on 4.4.3, my device is on 5.1.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sort of a noob, but I can't seem to get the boot loader unlocked on my new boost mobile moto g which I'm going to have flashed for Page Plus. I followed the tutorials on XDA threads and the motorola page, which specify to fastboot and get an unlock key, which can be used to unlock the phone easily. I got the code just fine, and copied it in as directed, but I get an error message.
The first:
"PUID not found in your identifier, please try again"
followed immediately by:
'your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking"
It seems like other people have had success with this method of unlocking. Can anyone give any suggestions as to how to proceed from here?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I was just wondering if this was possible, aside from that temporary root method.
When I do that thing for retrieving an unlock code on the motorola site, it says I'm not eligible to unlock my phone, but there has to be another way, right?
I was just wondering, if there was anybody who had this phone, and who already had theirs unlocked, thanks

Hi! I've just own this device used from verizon with kitkat 4.4.4. And all metods not working for me: I can't unlock bootloader using motorola site, even for now can't find how get temproot (towelrool and moto PIE - nothing happens), and they says that this methods fails on 4.4.4 firmware((. SunShine also not working - it reqires temp root & maybe also didn't work on 4.4.4). So will be waiting... If something happens (also if temproot is possible) - please let me know!!!
P.S. But maybe on locked bootloader & official firmware we get OTA of LoliPop 5.0 soon!!
Ok, I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I posted this incorrectly or if there might be another thread similar! (I tired searching but could not find anything so please don't scorn me )
So this is my problem...
I have the Moto G 2013 Verizon Non-Dev (XT1028) that I am sick and tired of seeing "lollipop will be coming soon!" But it being a non-dev edition it does not qualify for Motorola's Official Bootloader Unlock. I searched everywhere on YouTube (yeah, yeah, not the reliable...) and Google on how to root and bootloader unlock but none of those things have helped me. Let me cut to the chase!
Basically I am on 4.4.4
~~~Rooting~~~
It requires my bootloader to be unlocked
~~~Unlocking Bootloader (unofficially)~~~
Using Sunshine~
"Your device has to be rooted in order to check for compatibility. " (not the exact message but the gist is I cant unlock because I don't have root)
So with those two being in mind are there anyways to bypass one or the other? I'm stuck in an infinite loop between being able to root requires a bootloader unlock and the bootloader unlock requires a root to do... Any known ways to root 4.4.4 without bootloader unlock OR unlock my bootloader officially or unofficially?
P.S. This is my first post as well so I'm not sure if my random babbling helped explain so if any information is needed I can try to provide it! Thanks for any help and suggestions
Hello guys..
I own the XT1541 model, i purchased it about a month ago from amazon.de and i've been wanting to root the phone since i laid my hands on it, after doing a lot of research on rooting, its advantages and risks, I still want to root it anyways.
The problem is that i applied all of the pre-rooting steps for bootloader unlocking such as allowing OEM unlocking and USB debugging and then I booted into recovery mode and performed the "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" command to get a serial number that i inserted into the corresponding box in the requested way and accepted all the terms and conditions but It still gives me an error telling me that my device is not eligible for bootloader unlocking even though i've lots of videos of people unlocking the same model i have and succeeding >.<
Can anyone help me with this ? I've seen a lot of people on XDA succeeding in unlocking the bootloader and rooting the exact same model i have (XT1541)

Same problem here...xt1550..
Hope anybody help..
Help needed asap...cos i want to root my device
Hello there,
You have to register your phone to Motorola ID, otherwise Motorola doesn't give your unlock code. Boot to your normal rom, go to "Settings" and look for something like "Motorola Device ID". I had the exactly same problem.
Cheers
Hi,
I have the same issue, I've tried all advises I've found on net:
1. I have checked multiple times that there are no spaces in string that I pase into motorola web page
2. I have tried using motorla Data Scrub Tool - also no success
3. I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge
4. I've tried subscribing & unsubscribing from Moto ID
Nothing worked
my CID is 0x0007 so according to h t t p s://forums.motorola.com/posts/35e4d3be5c?page=52 (sorry, I can't post URLs yet ) it should be unlockable
In the last post I see the motorola is moving to lenovo servers, so I hope this is temporary issue

The unlocking tool on the website is temporarily broken.
I've checked again today in the mornging and good news is that it works again!
Sooo,
I bought a used vodafone moto g 1st gen naively expecting to have an easy sim-unlock available in the forums - maybe I haven't found it yet?
The online unlock code vendors I tried have refunded me saying they can't do my IMEI so I'm a bit stuck.
I flashed cyanogen hoping a new kernel would do the magic but I guess the simlock is in a different partition?
I see that a couple years ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903823 some were considering how the sim unlock modified the utag partitions. Does anyone know of further progress, information or solutions to sim unlock a moto g?
Or has anyone found a vendor that has successfully provided a UK vodafone sim unlock code?
P.S. Will I need to revert to the stock rom and kernel to use a sim unlock code?
The official Vodafone UK unlock service should work: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
Thanks Professor Gibbins.
Unfortunately the Vodafone unlock process asks for the vodafone number that has been used with the phone. Perhaps it would work if I got a pay-as-you go SIM from them and then provided that number.
Fortunately I tried paying a third unlock code vendor - sim-unlock*.net - waited a couple days and they came through with a valid code. I had started with the cheapest ebay vendors, so maybe they just weren't legit?
In any case, if someone else is in similar circumstances, here's what I learned:
There doesn't seem to be any other solution for sim unlocking the moto G xt1032 than purchasing an unlock code from an online vendor or, in the case of you being the original owner, from the network you purchased the phone from
Having a couple online vendors say they cannot get you the code does not mean another cannot
Neither unlocking the bootloader, installing a different recovery (TWRP), nor flashing a Cyanogen ROM will help Sim unlock the phone
The code provided by the online vendor did not work when I had Cyanogen installed. Fortunately I had created a backup of the vodafone ROM (using TWRP) and restoring their android version/kernel allowed the code purchased online to sim unlock the phone
Finally, the SIM unlock done in the vodafone system was maintained after restoring my Cyanogen install. I hope this means the sim/network lock will not return. It might perhaps resurface if I did a system restore; hopefully then the same unlock code would work again?

Once the unlock is done via an UNLOCK CODE, or via hardware unlocking tools, then it is permanent, so you shouldn't need to worry about this at all, but that said, in case you experience SIM un-/lock issues, then reuse the code when trying to unlock the phone on an OEM-DISTRIBUTED ROM (stock ROM).
