Lol, you need to replace "<unlock key>" with the code that motorola sent you via email. "fastboot oem unlock UNLOCKCODEHERE"

Yes I know that. To post the question here, I just replaced original unlock key with "<unlock key>".
It seems like I am the only person facing this issue.
I am thinking of trying following options. Please let me know, if anything will lead to brick my device.
1. I will factory reset my device and try unlocking bootloader.
OR,
2. Currently my device is running stock android 4.4.4 without root and locked bootloader. Can I downgrade to stock android 4.4.2 by flashing the stock firmware? then try for unlocking bootloader.
My Device is XT1033. Please let me know any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Guys, this is not a problem what anyone can fix here. Maybe one day. At least not now.
Use the Motorola forum in its issue related thread.

Factory resetting will not help! I did that too. I have the same issue. I'm thinking of downgrading my OS. But not sure if that will work.
You are not the only one having this issue and Motorola has responded to this issue:

Hi
I just got my phone, but missing the benefits of rooting.
Can anyone tell me how to unlock the bootloader and then root my phone?
Found a lot of links, but not sure which are secure and not to use.
Here's where you go to unlock your bootloader - http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Once unlocked, you can flash root or do whatever at that point.
Warning though, you will lose your DRM keys in this process, if you don't know what that means, do some research

Is their any way to back them up? So if I ever regret, I can get them back?
Also, is it possible or will it ever be possible to root with an locked bootloader?

You need root to backup DRM keys.
You cant get root without unlocking the bootloader yet.
Youll lose DRM keys when you unlock the bootloader.
If you cant take losing your DRM keys do not unlock and root.

Thanks, I will wait.
Last question. I got Samsung before and I was able to update my phone with Kies after rooting. Is their any way to update Sony devices when rooted?
Thanks
Flashtool or PC Companion. I prefer the latter.

You sure? As the DRM keys doesn't matter for me, as I don't really use the camera a lot.
But when I unlock bootloader on Sonys website, it tells me I would not be able to get updates from that. But i'm still able to get them with the PC companion?
Just to make sure, as I really want android 5.0 when it comes out.

You can't update with PC companion if you have unlocked your booloader. Your phone will be bricked!

No way to know for sure until someone tries. But with the Z2, you just have to relock your bootloader (might need to revert to a stock kernel first) and then software updates work fine.

There will always be FTF files shared on XDA and you can use flashtool with an unlocked bootloader.

You do it the only way it is possible
Unlock the bootloader via the official way, flash a custom kernel

There is no need to spam multiple topics.
YES, it can be done. NO, we can't tell you how because you didn't post your phone model or Android version.

Yes, Unlocking bootloader will show OTA notification but will fail when you try to install updates.
I also had same issue on my XL. Just had to relock the bootloader and update successful.
Just askin'.. do you think that the official lollipop update will be downloadable somewhere on the internet? (like sammobile does for samsung phones firmwares).
Yes
Hi, I wanted to unlock the bootloader of my device but on the Sony website it says that I should be on a specific firmware but I've already upgraded from that firmware and don't plan on downgrading. Can I continue unlocking the bootloader?

Hey,
I also had this "Problem" saying I have to be on a Specific Firmware. But my Phone came out of the Box with a Newer Firmware. But you can continue Unlocking your Bootloader without downgrading i did it too and it worked.

Thank you soo much!
Hi guys, I've unlocked the bootloader, then I tried to lock it again, but now BL is set on "RELOCKED" and not on "LOCKED".
So, I think, in case I've to send my phone in warranty, I will have problems!
So, the question is: how can I set again in "LOCKED" the bootloader?
Thank you so much!
Did you not use the unlock code provided by Huawei? Otherwise, they already know you voided the warranty.

There is no way if you did it with the 16 digit code. It will be only relock and no lock. Had you used the other way of unlocking, you may have locked it again. Whats the requirements, only to regain warranty?

Yeah, I've requested the code, but it doesn't mean nothing: I Can request it but it doesn't mean that I have to use it! ^_^
Is there a way to set on "locked" the bootloader?
I knew about dc-unlocker, a payware program.. Does It works?

Don't worry. Unless you run into something very critical you wont need it..even though if you go to service centre, not all cares for bootloader.
