Step 1: Overview and Warnings
First we need to familiarize you with what exactly we are doing. For this you can read up on Motorola's Unlock My Device page, which is quite straightforward.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
WARNING: This will void all warranties and all that jazz. No support will be given by Motorola once you unlock and Team Batakang + XDA-Developers + Motorola are not responsible for what you do to your device ever.
Step 2: Device ID and Unlock Key
If you read on the Motorola unlock page, they suggest installing the entire SDK and the drivers from different sites & links and it can take a while. If you want the drivers and the required Windows/Mac/Linux files for unlocking you can simply download my root tool for the RAZR i which includes both needed sets of files.
For Mac:
Download RAZRi_Root_Mac
Find the fastboot binary in the RAZRi_Root_Mac folder for your special device (32bit versus 64bit Mac) and make sure you allow it to be executable. [Example:
Code:
chmod x fastboot.osx32
Code:
chmod x fastboot.osx
Open a terminal and 'cd' into the RAZRi_Root_Mac folder.
Type in the fastboot version you ran chmod on before followed by the oem get_unlock_data command.
Code:
fastboot.osx oem get_unlock_data
Scroll down past machine specifics for the rest.
For Linux:
Download RAZRi_Root_Linux
Find the fastboot binary in the RAZRi_Root_Linux folder for your device and make sure you allow it to be executable. [Example:
Code:
chmod x fastboot.linux
Code:
chmod x fastboot-linux-i386
Open a terminal and 'cd' into the RAZRi_Root_Linux folder.
Type in the fastboot version you ran chmod on before followed by the oem get_unlock_data command.
Code:
fastboot.linux oem get_unlock_data
Scroll down past machine specifics for the rest.
For PC:
Download RAZRi_Root_Windows
Install the included driver depending on your system (32 bit or 64 bit).
Open cmd.exe and 'cd' into the RAZRi_Root_Windows folder.
Type in:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
Step 3: Unlocking
For all:
Motorola's web page will ask you to login with a Motorola or Google account. Make sure its one you know the email password to, because they will be emailing you a code.
Copy the outputs of this command into a notepad or text edit file. Edit away the INFO/(bootloader)/any spaces the code has so it is one continuous string. Copy and paste it into Motorola's next web page: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
Hit the 'Can my device be unlocked?'
Then agree to the terms below and hit 'Request Unlock Code'. It will be emailed to you. Then on your machine setup go back the terminal or cmd you had open and use the command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock UNQIUE_KEY
Code:
fastboot.linux oem unlock UNQIUE_KEY
Code:
fastboot.osx oem unlock UNQIUE_KEY
Enjoy and make sure to root, my thread on the process is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32575424
