Droid Maxx boot unlocker FREE

Ok, as of 4.4.x The device was unlock-able unless you pay some money to a Chinese website.
WARNING: You must legally own the device off contract for this to work!
Here are a few steps to try
1) https COLON SLASH SLASH motorola-global-portal DOT custhelp DOT com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Go through the sign in process, and follow the instructions it is very straight forward. IF This does not work, which it did not for me, move onto step 2.
2) Call Verizon Wireless 1 (800) 922-0204. Provide them with your IEMI AND OEM Boot Unlock Code, found by following steps in step 1. The process of unlocking the device from VZW contract status can take up to 48 hours. Once done, go to the step 1 and go through the process of getting your unlock code.
They lock the devices because people who usually purchase these phones get them on contract and it breaks the ToS to do this.
That's it! Don't pay a Chinese website to do what you can do for free WITH YOUR LEGALLY OWNED DEVICE. I cannot stress enough how this WILL void, contract, warranties, etc... even any insurance you buy on the device. Water insurance is voided by doing this. If you are on contract they will deny you access if you still owe money on the device. It needs a clean IEMI for this to work!
Any mod wanna sticky this? Any mod want to fix the link please, this is not spam in any way.

Hi
I will have your thread moved to your device section. And threads must mature before being considered for a sticky.
Good luck!

Is the Verizon portion automated? This could be great news for a lot of people. Me, not so much since I upgraded to the Maxx back in Sept of this year. Lol

Proof that this worked?

I think this only works on developer edition phone but I could be wrong as I have not tried yet.

Verizon does not unlock non Dev phones period. If they did everyone would be doing it. If you could buy a standard maxx and unlock what would be the point of a Dev edition.

True, the thing that threw me off is that his procedure includes calling Verizon which is unnecessary with the DE and the fact he says it only works with a phone that is not on contract. So he is implying that Verizon is willing to let the phone be unlocked under that condition which I also seriously doubt because Verizon doesn't want unlocked phones on their network period, if they can have it their way. I screwed up and now I'm using a Moto X DE as the daily driver and the Maxx as a backup. I almost want to buy a motherboard with 4.4 on it so I can unlock it but the seller on eBay knows this is doubled the price. Bastard.

Did somebody here buy that motherboard? Damnit!! I was waiting for the guy to lower the price. Lol. Oh well, I'm using the Maxx today and it is not bad. All I'm missing is WiFi tether but my iPad is the 4G version so I can just pull the Sim out of this phone and stick it in there and use all the data I want. Also found out that Verizon doesn't block the tethering capability of the iPad so I can setup a WiFi hotspot easily for the laptop without having to jailbreak, even though my iPad is jail broken... Currently blocking ads using Adguard which doesn't require root. All is good!

So, what exactly do you ask Verizon for? They can't supply the unlock code, that's from the Motorola site.

This guy started this thread 5 days ago and hasn't been back since to answer any ? I hate that don't start a thread with a ludicrous claim then abandon it. That's bull**** why start it at all.

Thank you @bigv5150 , I totally agree with you and sure quite a few others do. There are a lot of people that depend on XDA for the newest info and break through. Yes some things don't end up being the "Holy Grail" or even usable solution, however there bits of that information end up inspiring some one to find that solution.
But this thread was like a 5 year old getting a huge beautifully wrapped box under the tree only to find out it was just a wrapped empty box, a gag gift. How cruel!

Agreed. This why I love XDA! Always looking for that next update is addicting, lol!

I agree the op is most likely a true troll & post is nonsense as well (but).
Has anyone tried out the OPs suggestion with Vzw?
My phone is still in the Edge plan.

My 4.4.4 Maxx is off contract, and I went through step one but of course being a non-dev version my "device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".
But I'm with everyone else...what exactly do I ask Verizon tech support to do? How does one even hope to accurately dictate a 131 character code? Seems farfetched to think that Verizon has access to modify the Motorola databases...
Probably an idiot for going this far, don't want to look like a bigger idiot by calling Verizon. But damn, I'd love to unlock and root this thing.

I called to check with Verizon(Why not?), and according to level 2 tech support, they will not assist in bootloader unlocking or anything related to rooting. This is true even though my phone is entirely off contract(no edge either). So while there is a chance that asking the right way might have them help you, I highly doubt it. I got some sort of lecture about the fact that they are a reseller of phones, and that this would somehow kill their deals with phone manufacturers.

That's funny because they are the ones forcing the manufacturers to lock the bootloader.

The truth is, that they make money from bloatware developers, and do not want to allow the ability to uninstall those apps. If they did, it would devalue the cost they charge for bloatware.

Bought a Samsung Galaxy S6.....Now it's locked by RAC! Please help a NOOBIE out?

Hello Everyone, This is my first post here on XDA and I'm hoping you folks can help me out. I bought this S6 from a guy on Craigslist. When I got it everything was fine. I put my sim in a tested it be sure all was well. So I pull my sim out and put it away for a few days to be a birthday gift to my son. So he opens it up, puts in his sim card and goes through the setup. As soon as he was done we get this popup that the phone is locked by Rent-A-Center. Well crap, now what do I do? I bought this in good faith, paid hard-earned money for it, and now it's locked. Of course the seller is no where to be found. And there's not a Rent-A-Center within a hundred miles of me so it's UN-telling where it came from.
I did some research and ran across this thread here. I found what I thought was the latest firmware and flashed it to the phone. But I got no love as it is still locked. I also found a thread on rooting the S6 and followed that but it didn't work either. Now in no way am I a phone guru. My experience so far has been rooting my S5 by searching a thread, downloading what was linked in that thread, and following the step-by-step directions in that thread. With that said could someone help me out with this? I know it's asking a lot to post step-by-step directions and links but that would really help me out.
I should probably add that I can't get into this phone in anyway. After resetting the phone to factory and wiping the cache it then goes to setup. Immediately after setup it locks with the RAC popup and you can not go any further. I can't get to anything such as IMEI, build number, etc.
So with that said I would really appreciate any help you folks can give. I'm stuck at this point.

You're not going to bypass anything. The person you bought the phone from either stole it from Rent A Center, was delinquent on payments, or claimed that it was lost or stolen and the RAC remotely bricked the phone. Just like how people with iPhones can turn lost or stolen phones into permanent bricks regardless of what people try to do, it's the same for Android.
Your best bet is to try and contact RAC somehow and see if they're willing to provide the necessary information to bypass the lock. Otherwise, you're out of money and a phone.

I appreciate your replying to my post. But none of this is a known fact. You are making an assumption. And while it could be true neither you nor I know that it is true. And if it is true then that is on the seller, not on me. What is a known fact (at least by me) is that I have a phone that I bought in good faith. It is locked and I need help.
I have found many posts and videos on the internet of S5's and other phones being unlocked. I found a post here on XDA that the author stated he had experience with this on an S6 that I linked above in my original post. I tried what he said but it did not work for me. That could be because I used the wrong files or just from my inexperience. I did send that poster a message but have not heard back from him.
So with all that said I'm still in the same position. I need help from the folks here on XDA. Anybody got any ideas? Thank you all.

My friend, you have to believe what @Tacoo is saying...with s6, you cannot bypass the RAC. Talking about the s5, you can only bypass it when it has kitkat and s6 is far different from s5 in terms android version and such bugs has being fixed...the only option u have now is to contact the person you bought the phone from to help you with the RAC or return the phone and get your money back. There is no way to bypass RAC in S6

Exactly. Android on Lollipop and Marshmallow is like what Apple did with iOS. On iOS, if you put the lockdown on your phone and it gets stolen, even if someone wipes it entirely, the phone is useless without the original owner putting in their Apple ID. Android is the same way now, along with Samsung having their own account layer on top of that.
You can restore and wipe the phone, but chances are that you're not going to bypass this without contacting RAC.

My order number is 15288.
I can send a lot of screenshot from my unlocked phone. Why I'm so ungry for $15. I lost totaly $500 for this phone. So $15 is not important for me. I can paid another $15 for permanent unlock my phone.
If you are theandroiddoctor person, you should explain the all process. Why technician close the session after unlock process without my test result. Nobody answer me, nobody answer my support request.
All time they use bad words and their behaviour is not fair.

Because they aren't a true professional shop, they are someone that does this from their home. They don't care about whether your phone works, they only care about getting paid and they didn't do the right thing because they didn't want to pay for messing your device up because they don't have a true business like a true professional would.
That's what you get for trying to save money to get it done and trusting someone that you found on the internet instead of taking your device to a trusted and reputable professional shop, you get what you pay for, it's your own fault for being stupid enough to trust someone you found online.
You made a bad decision and now you're paying the price, get over it, move on and learn a lesson from it. Posting here isn't changing anything.

Regarding the Note 5, the phone can be restored to factory conditions by downloading Samsung Kies. Once downloaded fire up the software, select "tools" followed by "firmware upgrade and initialisation". Then connect your phone and the software will download all the necessary files, including the latest updates. I know this because they screwed my phone's IMEI during a unlock process, probably hoping they would squeeze more money out of me for a IMEI repair. Kies solved my IMEI problem, and their unlock wasn't affected by the Kies update (their unlock worked). These are unsavoury people who had access to my computer and phone while they carried out their half a job. Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

To add to the OP's experience, here is what i had to go through:
I asked about the process to unlock a galaxy s7 and the online chat support rep sent me a Google pay link. I asked him whether they'd support Paypal and he responded with a barrage of expletives, also threatening to install active x and hack my browser. NEVER EVER USE THIS SITE FOR ANYTHING.

They are racist. Disgusting human being. I had a horrible experience through their online "help" to fix my note 5 blocked on the Samsung Google Account Verification screen.
Disgusting
I am filing a racial discrimination complaint against this Sharena Johnson that sent me a gpay link and their service. What a disgusting person

Galaxy J7 - G.oogle verification issue.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum.. as a member that is. Over the years I've always came here to find solutions to any problems I might be facing with my phone. I always walked away with a solution except the one time (Galaxy Note 5/Verizon, I wanted to root it.. but I guess no one came up with away around that one).
But enough with the small talk, here is the problem I'm facing and I'm hoping one of the phone experts here can help me, or point me in the right direction. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy J7 Percy SM-J727P from someone online. They wanted $50, bUT since it was Google verification locked I was able to talk them down to $20. Prior to going and picking it up I did a quick search for bypassing the g.oogle verification to see if others has successfully bypassed it, and I found a number of YouTube videos as well as websites with steps on how to do it. So I went ahead and purchased the phone. I began watching videos following a couple methods I saw on YouTube which had comments as recently as 3 days ago of people saying that they were able to bypass it. Little did I know there were so many J7s available. To my luck, I was unable to get any of the methods to work.
So I've come here to ask the experts on their advice on how to bypass the verification on this specific model J7. If anyone knows how and doesn't mind telling me, or pointing me in the right direction on where to read the steps on how to go about bypassing it I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you were handed over a suspicious phone. Maybe stolen or maybe a dumb owner. We dont do FRP unlocking here on XDA. If videos didn't work, you probably wont get any other help from community.
Go to a local mobile shop would be my suggestion.

FRP is there to prevent lost/stolen phones from being used, if you've bought a phone that is FRP locked you should take it up with the seller. Not try to break the lock yourself!
Bottom line, its very likely the phone has either been lost or stolen.
If the phone was obtained legitimately you can ask the seller to reset their password and unlock it as per Samsung's instructions here:

anyone NICE have some time to teach

I want to learn some basic stuff and have a ton of questions. I posted a few but the 1 person that Dm'ed me when I tryed to ask more questions yelled at me for having tone when even though I was very nice because I am greatful that he took the time.
I do not want to get yelled for no reason so there is no way I will ask him anything else.
So is there anyone willing to take sme time to have a conversation with me about a samsung S6 phone?

No one is going to yell at you for no reason... if they do it's a lick on them.
Post your questions so others can learn as well.
No one person knows all the solutions so you benefit from more sources of knowledge by posting the questions on the forum.
Or simply be patient as you will eventually find the answers you seek... works for me.

Ok I was given a phone samsung from a lady that changed to a new company.
The phone she gave me has no sim card and has been resotred to start.
What th woman who gave it to me and I both do not know is if the phone is carries locked and how to gey it unlocked.
I have googled and it seems there are a lot of unlock code generators that charge a fee.
Can anyone tell me first is there a free one second if not one that is not some kind of a scam.
The phone says it is a Samsung SM-G920A.

Have the last owner sign in on the phone and delete their Google and Samsung accounts on it.
You can then do a factory reset and configure it as you please.
That's the easy way... any other way will be much harder.

Maybe I am not explaining this right.
The samsung phone has been reset so it is like it is a new phone.
It was a ATT carrier and I want to use it on a differant carrier so I need to unlock the carrier.
So I am looking for a way to unlock the carrie.
So what I am looking for is a
Unlock Code Generator.​
Is there one that is used and not a scam?

The easiest way is to have AT&T unlock it.
If there's no outstanding balance on the account they should. Usually the account holder does this, not sure how this will work in your case.
AT&T can still/could have blacklist(ed) the phone's imei even if you use a 3rd party unlocker.
Probably best to work it out with AT&T. They are very intolerant of delinquent accounts though. If a balance was owed by the previous owner they will probably want it paid to unlock it. They just want their money. If no money is owed you should be alright.
As much as I know... I may be mistaken. Never had to play with this.
