so I even called motorola yesterday and they had a hard time finding the code and he said he saw it was all "A"s . Im like that doesnt sound right.....I wasn't going to try it. Then this morning as soon as I woke up I looked for the emails from MOTO. Apparently they were not even going to spam they were going to trash folder...so I was getting them but the unlock code is indeed all "A"s wtf. I tried it anyway of course it failed...
Bootloader Unlock?

- Start date
You are not alone:

How about reverse engineering that bootloader.img you downloaded?
Is this the workings of Lenovo/Motorola having to communicate with Verizon under some sort of contractual agreement before giving the 'nod' to dish out bootloader codes?
Possibly.
Let's see if we can bypass it then
I wrote a small application that extracted the bootloader.img to actual partitions. I'm attaching the extracted data.
From the strings it looks like tz.mbn is a good place to start disassembling the key generation code.
Yea I don't have the skill set to do that. And in that thread they said reverse engineering is futile.
This is what it sounds like to me.. Verizon said don't give out the unlock codes or spit out this BS So they cant LOL.. I mean.. Its a great phone and I am going to keep it regardless ...Just nice to know this may be able to be unlocked... If someone wants to try and reverse engineer sure but it wont be me yet lol.
Update:
The unlock key seems to be random (as in: based on random key stored in each device).
We can probably not create a generic unlock key generator.

I told you that the combination of Verizon and Moto does not bode will for an official unlocking of the bootloader. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Global version
I got the EU/Global version (XT2061-3) and was able to unlock bootloader and achieve root permissions using Magisk
EDIT:
Fingerprint reader seems to be broken after bootloader unlock / root ...
EDIT2:
Re-locking bootloader does not make the fingerprint reader working again.
The reader was possibly broken all along. I didn't test it before unlocking the bootloader.

Europe. Yes, I am.
Sorry, I don't know where/how to buy this unlockable global edition in the US.
I didn't realize it was out in Europe yet! What provider's can you get it from?
Reactivate/Calibrate the Fingerprint reader after bootloaderunlock!
Hello, after bootloader unlocking the fingerprint reader does not work. to get it working again you need to do the following things!
1. go to the Dialer and type *#*#2486#*#* wich opens the CQA testapp
2. allow all requests
3. go to the first Menu (CQA-Test in Menu Mode)
4. go to "Sensor"
5. go to "G5SPMT Test"
6. Start the test and when ist says: "Put the Flesh Flat" press start/next and put your Finger on the Sensor, then when ist says: "Put the Black Flat" put something non reflective over the sensor and tap next. int the Last step where it says: "Put the Flesh Chart FLat" I used my Fingernail on the Sensor! and even tho there was an error on the end, when you go to your Fingerprint/Security Settings you now can put in your Fingerprint as normal and it works again.
I hope this will help you, if you have any questions, just ask.

Yes, please let us know where you can purchase it from. If we root this phone, what do we give up in functionality?I got the EU/Global version (XT2061-3) and was able to unlock bootloader and achieve root permissions using Magisk

After much searching and no response from OP, I finally found that you can order it from lenovo.de. Unfortunately they only ship within the EU. Still trying to find someone that will ship it to the US.....

Does anyone know if the devices ordered from Lenovo will be eligible for an unlock code?
