[Q] Is there another unlock method?

[heyis4horses]

I have been trying to unlock my bootloader on my developer edition moto x for a few days now with no success. After several calls and online chats with Motorola customer support my device is still not eligible for unlock. I just got the device so I was wondering if there was some other method to unlock my bootlader that wouldn't require a code from motorola.

If you are pre 4.4.4 then you can use sunshine. But that should not be needed. If you have a Dev unit Moto should fix the issue.

Where did you buy the device from?

A few tips...

• Try a different browser when visiting Moto's web site. If you are using Chome, try IE instead, or vice versa.
• Take the output from the get_unlock_data command, and paste it into NOTEPAD (if you use windows) on your PC... Turn Word Wrap OFF. Edit out the spaces and any carriage returns so the string is one single line, and then copy the edited string to the clip board to paste into the web site.
• If the phone is less than a week old, keep trying. There have been issues/delays with the codes being available on the Moto web site.
• Try signing into the Moto site using the original email address used to purchase the phone (i.e. your friend purchased, then have your friend use his/her email to try requesting the code)
• Take a look at this thread in the Peer to Peer Moto Owners forum -> https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875 https://forums.motorola.com/posts/35e4d3be5c where it discusses issues unlocking the bootloader on Dev Edition (both GSM and For Verizon) devices, and offers information, and possible remedy.

Thanks so much! I pasted the code into notepad and there were some weird spaces in it and now my device is unlocked! Time to start having fun with this phone
