[Q] issue unlocking bootloader

I have non-booting xt890 from South America (bought used in Europe, I think originally Argentina).

The phone stopped booting past the M logo (no idea why, it just started one day) so I tried to flash a stock Rom using RSD lite. It now boots to fastboot mode with "Fastboot Mode: Flash Failure"

I can access the phone using fastboot with "Minimal ADB and Fastboot". I want to unlock the bootloader so I can install a recovery and then flash Cynagonmod or another ROM or something to see if I can fix the phone.

I used the tool on the Motorola site and I get an error "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking". I emailed the support but got no response.

Is this correct? If I run "fastboot getvar all" I get:
