UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER​

WARNING: UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
NOTE: Unlocking the bootloader will Wipe/ factory reset your device, and will delete all personal data from your device such as apps, photos, messages, and settings.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Make sure to take a backup of your entire device data.
  2. Download the Android SDK OR Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot
  3. Install the latest Motorola USB Drivers on your desktop. Download here.
  4. Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
  5. Open Command Prompt on androidsdk/platform-tools/ (Hold Shift and right click and press open command window here)
  6. Connect your Phone to PC
  7. Type this in the CMD prompt window - fastboot oem get_unlock_data
  8. You will get a return string. Copy it. [Right Click-Mark- Mark the text by pressing the shift key-Now press Ctrl+C]
  9. Paste all the lines together in a notepad. Remove the empty spaces.

  10. Now go to the Motorola Site.Sign in using your Google account or Motorola ID. Scroll down the page and paste the copied string in the field at step #6. Then click on ‘Can my device be unlocked?’, after which a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will appear at the bottom of page.
  11. To get your unlock key, select the ‘I Agree’ option. Note: You will receive an email with your Unlock Key at the email address you used to log in there.
  12. Important – Copy the 20-character key that Motorola sent you via email. Make sure your device is connected.
  13. Then in CMD type: fastboot devices (To check your device is connected)
  14. Then type: fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY

    NOTE: In above command, replace the word ‘UNIQUE_KEY’ with the unlock code that you got via email. Then hit enter and the unlocking process should begin. Wait for a while and soon you’ll see ‘Bootloader Unlocked’ warning on your Moto E.

You can always appreciate my work by pressing the Thanks Button.:good:

does anyone have a locked motoE? I think I've found a security bug which would allow us to boot unsigned images with locked devices.

Unlocking with difficulty

Need some guidance with unlocking on a MAC.

While trying to follow Motorola's instruction from their unlocking page. But unable to run fastboot. Got "command not found". I have also activated USB debugger mode and developer mode prior to starting the unlocking process. Any advise would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

OSX:10.9.3
Moto E: 4.4.2

Due to being first post on XDA, I can't post image link.

Update 6/11

Problem solved by adjusting my environment path ~/.bash_profile.​

Tried placing my device on fastboot mode, with power/down vol key pressed. And on my phone, its displaying a pic with an (euro) outlet, down arrow and power plug. (As if its asking to plug the device into power outlet). I have also activated USB debugger mode and developer mode prior to starting the unlocking process. Any advise would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

about entering fastboot: just disconnect the usb cable before doing that.

press vol-down while booting this image with "fastboot boot motoe_mbm_boot.img" so he'll enter fastboot mode.
If it worked you'll see "Hacked Powerup" instead of "Normal Powerup", if not you'll see a error message :p

Edit: I think it won't work because he'll verify the signature before copying it :p

Don't worry, wait for some time.If the request button appears, that means code is correct.
It will be sent.
