there is an option in this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307439 to unlock your boot loader. it is a good all around tool to have on hand.

i dont rely on those root checkers, download an app that needs root and make sure it gets granted. also go into the settings of su and make sure the binaries are up to date, they usually are not. after that try the unlock tool again, im betting you have outdated binaries.

I believe the utility dowloads an .apk that you have to open to get the bootloader unlocked. When I unlocked the BL on my M, I just used the stand-alone Motopocalypse tool.

"This option requires your phone to be booted normally, with USB Debugging enabled. It will install an App version of Dan Rosenberg's Motopocalypse exploit for unlocking the bootloader."

I've tried that link and did what it told me to do went through the steps and at the end the phone shows its still locked. By any chance this phone is refurbish phone could this be the reason why it won't unlocked

Your screenshot shows that you are not on the latest update, so you should be able to unlock it, unless someone already had previously updated it then rolled back to that version. However, that version is 2 OTAs ago, so I would think it has never been updated. When I ran the stand alone Apocalyse utility, I had to run it about five times. Finally, during the last (and successful) try, I decided to wake up the phone. When I did this, there was a screen from my SuperSU asking to grant SU access to ADB. I granted it and the utility completed immediately and I was finally unlocked. When you run the Motopocalypse utility, you need to be booted into the OS.

What apocalypse utility link you rooted with do you have one. I have no luck with this . I able to wipe the phone install root but can't unlock the boot loader. So I gave up and figure out how to take root out and go back to stock. I give up unless someone else ideal how to do it.

if you are on the latest update the unlock tool does not work and there is no way to unlock.
