Hi all
I have been looking into rooting my z3, then moved onto bootloader unlocking and hit problems at every stage. Ive come full circle as to why I was doing any of it, so thought I would ask some advice.
I was originally looking to remove bloatware and get rid of Google chrome so I can connect to internet without such spyware and load a honest browser. In order to do this It seemed I needed to root phone, in order to do that I needed flash capability, in order to do that I needed to unlock the bootloader. My configuration says "Bootloader unlock allowed : No" which seems to be a problem.
I have been round and round in circles trying to make progress on this, So I thought I would ask for some advice. All I wanted to do was load Firefox and stitcher.....am I asking too much???
It seems like am I asking too much!!
No one got any advice at all then....?
Well thanks for that people, that was really helpful.

I have been searching Google for weeks (actually months on & off) they all start with "Simply unlock your bootloader, then...."
Can you possible explain how you did it or provide a link??

I just wanna root it so I can delete all the bloatware but I'm afraid my phone will not reconize the service of verizon wireless since I'm unlocking the bootloader. I just wanna know, if I unlock my bootloader, can I still place phone calls, text, and use data like if nothing ever happened

lol thank you, i'm not new to rooting or unlocking bootloaders from virgin mobile but I am new on unlocking bootloaders from verizon so thanks
Bootloaders shouldn't affect service at all. Its not like a radio or anything. Also for clarification, in order to flash anything at all the bootloader has to be unlocked. Everyone on this forum has unlocked at some point.

I bought a boost mobile (USA) moto G yesterday. After I followed every step on moto site, it gives the error
Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking
What does this mean? Boostmobile device cannot be unlocked, therefore rooted?
please help!
TIA
I got same message but didn't care and pressed the button for unlock code!
My XT1033 is now unlocked and rooted.
That's right...
For now there isn't a way and there are no developers here working on it...
And there's no button on the site after the msg... Your device was probably eligible...

hey guys i just bought my indian version of moto g and yeah i too had this problem!! but i resolved it now my bootloader is unlocked. the site is a perfect working unlocker but the thing is u may have signed into motorola device id option under settings menu. go there unlink ur account and try in the site again. the signing in from device disallows this unlocking thing. but if u unlink the account i am sure u can unlock ur bootloader!!
I signed in with the google account on the device and it worked. :fingers-crossed:
That worked.

Nothing!
Just sit and wait... Hopefully a developer will find an exploit allowing us at least to root it (Like they did on the Moto X)... Or not... I am quite
The Motorola support forums has a thread up dealing with the issue.
Maybe try there.

I don't think any developer is trying to find an exploit...if its easily unlockable....they don't need to find one
Well, I've tried everything... I even disabled the Motorola apps on my device and I keep getting the message that my phone is not eligible...
Tried with different email accounts on the site and still nothing...
It is supposed to be easy if they allowed it... This is my sixth android device and the first which I couldn't unlock the bootloader...
And I know that my case isn't the only one... I'll try the forums to see if I get anything different...

Update:
After going through their forum, they instructed peaople tto send them an email with the fastboot oem get_unlock_data and the fastboot getvar all, as they are constantly having probles with the system... Just did that and will post if I get anything...
It took about 2 days after I got my Moto G for it to let me unlock it. Then, without me doing anything different it worked

any luck
Has anyone had any luck with this issue?
Whenever I try to use the Asus unlocked tool to unlock my device it just says" an unknown error happend" i''ve been searching on this and couldn't find any thing helpful, I tried a tons of times over some weeks, haven't had any luck. Tried to factory reset it for then trying again. Tried to write to Asus ans they said they didn't offer support on this topic. Tried on different networks. So my question is now... Are there any other way than using the Asus tool?

Unlocking Bootloader
Does anybody know of a work around the device unlock tool? Does Odin work? Downgrade to ICS then unlocking the bootloader?

No - you have to use the Asus Unlock tool, there is nothing els (Odin is for Samsung) - what is your objection to it?

There are 2 reasons I'm aware of for it to fail:
1. Your firewall/router doesn't allow the port. I have seen people fix it by tethering to their phone, etc
2. Your Mac address is not registered to the mother board serial number in the Asus database. Call them, get on their VIP site and tell them to fix it. Lots of people have had success.

If you contact them, I would not tell them that you want to unlock. Some users have been successful anyway, but some ran into a wall of: We do not support unlocking. Seems to depend on which rep you talk to.
Tell them you can't register for device tracker and can't get OTA updates. And please report back if and how you were successful - or not....
can't unlock the tf700t bootloader
hi, ... sorry for asking again ... i'm not able to unlock my tf700t. i really tried every method i found in this forum ... there should be a method without that unlock tool?! what is asus doing with that unlock tool?! do they send a new bootloader to install?! would it be possible to install an already unlocked and copied bootloader from one tf700t to another?!
here my little history, i was getting my device from amazon 2 years ago, there was also trouble to register this device with asus, but with help of the support i could do the registration. after that i installed all the official updates till 10.6.1.14.10, but getting pissed by the behaviour of the tablet with some pauses and sudden freezes and working again after thinking about whatoever ... so i wanted to try another rom with a hopefully better and smoother behaviour of the tablet. found that nice thing called unlock tool what i should need for unlocking the bootloader. running that tool since half year daily without success! i also opend a lot of support issues by asus, with the last answer "... it should work now, if not please send in the tablet". i can't believe that this should be the only way ...
so tried a lot: downgraded to v10.4.4.18 including full wipe of all data from two years and my little one is not happy about that ... tried v7 of unlock tool, no success! (with no other apps installed) upgraded again to v10.6.14.8, tried with v8 of unlock tool. not working! currently that's my status, plus additionally i rooted the device with motochopper and throw away some of the asus preinstalled crap ... i'm able to find my device via the asus device tracker, the device is registered with asus, but the unlock is impossible ... it freaks me out ...
so is there an option to have the locked bottloader overwritten with root permissions with an unlocked one?! and second where to get that unlocked one?! ...
thanks for an answer!

Yes, we need some good devs apart from the ones who ported the 2 roms....
I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and then flashed SuperSu but i got a buggy root looks like.
Also having issues with the sdcard write problem created by google...
I'm trying to sort out my kinks to set it up as per my liking using xposed modules etc...

I have permanent root. You have to unlock bootloader for that and then flash SuperSu as i mentioned earlier.
There is no method without unlocking bootloader. I tried a lot, none of the other exploits worked,, unless you want to spend

Yeah bro... Actually i had unlocked ? my bootloader and backed up DRM keys (require root) but after 2 months my power button was not working properly....
What i did..
Restore DRM & relocked bootloader and flash the stock rom.... And then send it to service center and they also fix the issue for free!!
So is there any way to gain the warranty back like in samsung we can clear flash counters by "triangle away" app... And here in sony with DRM method??

Hmm... I wonder. Is it okay to pick up a single sim version? Looks like everyone has dual sim here and I'm a little worried when ROMs do get ported, it might not work on the single sim version. Would it work anyway? Or do I really have to go for the dual sim?

Yep your in the correct place as far as unlocked bootloader there isn't one unless your phone is supper old and wasn't updated you have to be on 4.2 if your phone is running 4.4.4 then your only option for root is the one in the top post of the forum by crash it will let you get exposed working and get rid of some bloat ware but that's the best we have for these phones.

Just did it simple, if your phone was new from verizon it probably shipped without the ota and you can unlock it easy, it will try to download and install the ota, DONT LET IT INSTALL THE OTA! if you do you wont be able to use sunshine to unlock it, if it downloads the ota do a factory reset to delete the download until you get it rooted and freeze the moto ota app, I used "app quarantine" to freeze it and it stays disabled even after root loss when the phone reboots until you have a chance to unlock with sunshine, its free in the google playpen i mean store, his what i did http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/help/4-21-root-unlock-t3352386/post66205828#post66205828
