[Moto X Q&A] meber:
People are making this too complicated. If you are already on 4.4.2 and have made no modifications to your phone at all the only steps you have to do are the following:

Download and extract this: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973491

Install this: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Turn off your phone

Hold Volume Down + Power for 3 seconds and let go

Connect the phone to your computer with the usb cable

Navigate within a Command Prompt that was launched as admin to the extracted folder.

Type: fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY (where the unique key is what you got from taobao or the ebay middleman)

Your phone will reboot and everything will be wiped and you will be on a fresh install of 4.4.2

Disconnect your usb cable

Power off your phone

Hold Volume Down + Power for 3 seconds and let go

Connect your usb cable to your phone

In the same command prompt type mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img

You now have TWRP installed. You can now flash ROMs, SuperSU, etc..

This is meant as a simple guide and not an end all resource. Please read the forum for more information.
[Moto X Q&A] M973:
I was considering the same, to purchase the unlock code, and maybe hold off to avoid voiding my warranty just yet, but it also occurred to me, if I sit on it, don't use the code, do I know the code is correct/valid? That when I am ready to use it, is it right? As I don't think there is a way to verify without actually using it? :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
Should the "twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img" in your link work for Droid Maxx as well as Moto X?
[Moto X Q&A] meber:
I only know that this works with the Moto X. The TWRP thread does not mention the Maxx, maybe someone else can chime in.
[Moto X Q&A] bigv5150:
Yes it works for the maxx. Remember the only real difference between the droids and moto x is the on screen buttons and some bloat. Almost every thing is cross compatible
[Moto X Q&A] Dark9781:
I tried going through the taobao website, but my payment was rejected. I went through chinese.silk (ebay seller) and found the process to be very smooth. I bought the code last night around 11pm and I received my code around 1pm today. I am unlocked and now I'm restoring my phone. If you are having issues through taobao I recommend going through chinese.silk. The link is a few pages back, but here it is again if anyone needs it.

[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
Thanks meber and bigv5150
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
That's right, u would actually flash twrp and root after taking the 4.4.2 ota...

It's always recommended to flash back to stock if you had previously rooted with pwn/rock/slap...
[Moto X Q&A] zenofase:
How unique is this code? Do you really need a different code for each device or could someone post the code for all to use?
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Lol you're funny! If one code would work for all devices then everyone would have unlocked a looooooooooong time ago!
[Moto X Q&A] zenofase:
Sorry, noob question I guess. Been on Verizon my whole life and never heard of a device I have owned being unlocked before. So unfamiliar with what it takes.
[Moto X Q&A] kg6zvp:
Would people on this thread be ameanable to posting their bootloader unlock codes along with whatever info *might be being used to generate them? (IMEI, CPU serial #, etc.) I think there is the potential to backflush these numbers and write a hashing, obfuscation or encryption algorithm to generate them.

A related question: does anyone know (for sure) of any hardware differences before and after flashing? Is there something irreversible being written onto a chip somewhere or (as I believe was mentioned earlier in this thread) possibly a fuse being blown, etc.?
[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
So on my XT1080 I accidently failed to take OTA 4.4 before I unlocked and installed TWRP, SuperSU, and Xposed.... (I took the OTA update to 4.2.2 and then got ahead of myself) So my question: Is it safe to take the OTA 4.4 update now? Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] jideay:
Probably a stupid question. I've read this from beginning to end and don't remember seeing it... What do you do with the code once you have it?
[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
Look at Post #503

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I got this link from another thread... how Dan R. unlocked the Razr HD bootloader... http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html - Because of the cryptographic hash used, I don't think you would have success reverse engineering. Just my opinion.
[Moto X Q&A] kg6zvp:
That azimuth security blog link is extremely helpful! Thank you. I have an "unlockable" bootloader, but that doesn't stop me from wondering if this could be accomplished. Even if it can't be accomplished, does it necessarily matter? Given the time, I'm sure we can figure out a way to falsify the motorola key signature and allow our own modifications without unlocking.
[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
So I answered my own question... NO, I should not take OTA unless I return to stock recovery... http://teamw.in/officialota

[Moto X Q&A] drewwegand:
Just unlocked mine successfully using chinese.silk on ebay as the middleman. I am officially unlocked and rooted.
[Moto X Q&A] Mike7143:
It'd be awesome if reverse engineering could pull out the method to get unlock codes, but you'd probably need every device with a decent CPU in the world to crunch on it, and even then probably a few decades. At this price though, may be worth it for some rather than the hassle of selling a consumer version to re-buy a developer edition. Also, paying this beats the swapping hassle PLUS trying to change your motomaker parts to the developer edition!
[Moto X Q&A] Max725:
In case anyone still has reservations about this method, I have also successfully unlocked with the help of chinese.silk (after Alipay refunded my card); my phone is VZW (XT1060) with bootloader 30.B4.

Regarding the discussion that has more-or-less taken over the thread, I think most will agree that there's nothing wrong with warning others when a slight deviation from given instructions could cause serious harm; however, it's better not to explicitly state that following the instructions will cause harm if it's not the case (and I don't think anyone did state that).
[Moto X Q&A] SYNSYNACKACK:
Just wanted to weigh in on the whole brick vs no-brick topic. People don't read or pay attention to instructions or bother searching.

Based on that, there will always be the chance of something going wrong.

You could make a disclaimer or base a suggestion on what the person did exactly.

Play it safe is the way I look at it.

I've contacted chinese.silk to purchase an unlock code and he tells me that I need to send him money using his google wallet account. The problem is that the account he gives me doesn't have an @ address. Is the price just $2. I read in this thread that someone paid $40
[Moto X Q&A] cpetersen2791:
The middle man charges $2, the unlock code is $40.
[Moto X Q&A] papi92:
I'll do it for $80 and I take paypal :)

Add me to the success stories :) I was skeptical at first but I received my unlock code in 20 hrs. I just unlocked and was finally able to upgrade to 4.4.2 without worry!
[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
I purchased without middleman directly from Chinese website on Wednesday at 2AM CT... I was able to chat online with seller... I received my unlock code Thursday 10PM CT. The unlock was successful on my Droid Maxx.

I wanted to purchase again for my wife's phone but the listings now say "NO SELL!!!PLEASE DON'T TAKE ORDER!!Please wait 2 days." So I waited for seller to be back online for chat.... I just asked him about the 2 day wait...

Seller: "You must wait 2 days"

Me: "OK Thanks"

Seller: "I have to deal my troubles"

Me: "I understand"

Seller: "My Alipay was frozen"

Me: "Ah, OK Good Luck"
[Moto X Q&A] sfetaz:
I can also confirm that this works with a Verizon Moto X. I followed the guides in this thread to navigate the website with google translate, used a virtual credit card to purchase the code just to be safe, and in about 36 hours got my code, just tried it and worked great. Annoying message when you turn on the phone that is a big warning that you have unlocked your bootloader, but it woked great.
[Moto X Q&A] jideay:
When did you last talk to him? It looks like my order last night about 7 pm MST went through alipay ok... But I'm still waiting on the code. Sounds like it take 12-24 hours when your purchase it directly...

[Moto X Q&A] DogzOfWar:
I'm trying to track status updates for the bootloader unlock in this thread: According to at least 3 folks in different threads, he doesn't seem to be offering VZW unlocks. One person posted a screenshot saying "will try again in 3 days" and that he is "tired'. So we'll see about that.
[Moto X Q&A] jideay:
Alipay took the money out of the virtual credit card. So I'm guessing they are holding it until he straightens things out with them?
[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
My chat with him was at 1:45AM CT this morning (Friday). I am sure Alipay will accept your money for now, but he may not be able to accept or withdraw your money until he gets things straightened out with Alipay. If the listing still says "NO SELL!!!PLEASE DON'T TAKE ORDER!!Please wait 2 days." then I can only assume his Alipay account is still frozen.

[Moto X Q&A] hbar98:
I got an email from the ebay middleman with my unlock code. I have to wait until after I get off work to use it... not because I can't do it here, but because we have poor cell signal and wouldn't be able to do anything with my phone. :(

I bought the code on 3/13 around 10am CST.
[Moto X Q&A] M973:
I also got the reply from Chinese.silk that she cannot accept Paypal at present, and provided her google wallet account.

Is using a virtual credit card the best way to make a payment to her Google wallet? I haven't used Google wallet much, and never created a virtual credit card, if someone has a suggestion, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Edit: I figured using my Google wallet should be safe, doesn't show my cc info, so I did it from there.

I am no longer under a contract with Verizon and am on unlimited data still. Yes I paid retail for my MAXX. Now no root, no Foxfi, just not right.

Just thought this was relevant since I'm seeing some of the exact same questions asked in the last few posts...

Oh, and yes, this probably voids your warranty, just like unlocking the Non-Developer Editions phones who can get a code from moto do. (i.e. even when requesting a code from Moto's web site for eligible phones, the warranty is voided for all but Developer Editions).

Should I do anything special since I'm rooted on 442 to get the bootloader to successfully unlock in fastboot
[Moto X Q&A] SYNSYNACKACK:
You don't have true root if you are on 4.4.2

In order for that to happen, you have to have an unlocked bootloader, and have flashed a recovery and installed root.

Would suggest reading thru the thread, it contains a lot of useful information and suggestions.
[Moto X Q&A] ConstantHero:
Yes I realize that it's not true but it does have root it carried over from 4.2.2 the slap method. Xposed/gravity box carries over with soft reboots. My question is I just got my unlock code and I can't get the BL to unlock in fastboot.
[Moto X Q&A] cpetersen2791:
With phone booted into Android, and USB debugging activated, you can adb reboot-bootloader to get there
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Sir..do you have exact instructions for the unlock procedures, as per Motorola web page instructions.? I have it in doc format if you need..one can copy and paste in adb from the doc, as to be sure of the correct characters..as long as you can get your device into bootloader mode..one can be unlocked..

Also..be aware..once your execute the unlock procedure..your device will be erased.. All data will be erased..Copy all your important files to a safe place..

EDIT: So it seems you can get into bootloader..make sure you key in your code correctly..

It may vary from time to time based on what the seller is pricing it at at the time, but the middle lady's price is always $1.99.

Not trying to disrespect you personally, i see you've been here awhile, but anyone from that website can make an account here and claim it works.

Lets see a member who's been here a little while, with a post history say it works.

Until then I'd be very careful, that's all I'm saying.
