Exactly, you can't use the online service to activate the phones because it's going to put you in a new plan. You must call them.
[Moto X General] xDroid4Lifex:
I tried searching but couldn't find anything, has anyone tried this taobao listing? Its different than the original bootloader code listing. The original says "baby does not exist or moved off shelf" where this listing is still active.

I can't seem to create an account because they won't send me the text message. Tried with 2 numbers now. I did email the gmail address in the pictures hoping to get a response. Will let you know if anything happens
[Moto X General] xDroid4Lifex:
You have to create an account from the PC version of the website, I finally managed to do it and send a message to the seller. Waiting on a reply. Will update when I hear back

I got in contact with this guy through skype and he said he is no longer doing moto x unlocks.
[Moto X General] tonix435:
Damn...this would be my first non-rooted device...ohh well...
[Moto X General] nm3210:
On Verizon, I switched from my 3G-only Fascinate to the Moto X (off-contract) using just the web interface. Yes, it asks you to "re-do" your plan, but the rep I was talking to said that's just how the system works - something along the lines of that's how you get the 4G activated. I still have my unlimited data (I can easily verify that, it's all over their website) and interestingly the price for the data actually went down from $30 to like $23 or something (perhaps because I'm not subsidizing the phone anymore?). So at least on Verizon you can activate over just the web - just chat with a rep while you're doing it. Verizon is NOT trying to trick people into switching plans (at least in this instance).
[Moto X General] marnold425:
I'm pretty sure he isn't anymore. I believe I read he's been telling everyone that's over.

Sent from my Moto X, not rooted & bootloader locked <-----Thanks Motorola and AT&T......
[Moto X General] DogzOfWar:
Partially this is my fault, since I'm the original poster and originally used the phrase "unlock available via Chinese middleman". I still think it was right to include the fact that this was Chinese, since I wanted people to know that their $40 would be going overseas to a questionable operation.

I think we should close down this thread until someone posts info about it starting up again. If anyone does get in contact with the "Bootloader Unlocker Dude of Indeterminate Foreign Location", please post it there AND send me a personal message so I can update the thread.

Keep it classy,

[Moto X General] kuidaore:
There's possibly of a different person on Taobao providing the same service. I'm unable to understand Chinese but you can search XT1058 or XT1060 and there are a couple of results with the same ¥240 price along with one that shows a bootloader request processed. Maybe someone can look into it.

Well, I just got my code via email. Sent the money straight to him through paypal, no other websites involved. Got emailed my code 12 hours later.

Let you guys know if it works!

[Moto X General] tekhna:
Worked.
[Moto X General] MattCropley:
I sent my order through PayPal two days ago and have yet to get it!
[Moto X General] hecantbreathe:
Verizon retail - worked.
[Moto X General] Mr. Orange 645:
Do you still get the ugly BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED splash screen warning, similar to unlocking the DevEd bootloader? It's easily fixable, but I'm just curious.
[Moto X General] tekhna:
Yeah
[Moto X General] Flexia32:
Wow got my code in 7 hours. Going to do a backup and see if it works
[Moto X General] Mayze23:
Received my code today. Unlocked [emoji2][emoji106]
[Moto X General] hecantbreathe:
Yeah.
[Moto X General] mattkelly:
Just wanted to update that I got my code from Silk, and everything went smooth! (pun intended)

Verizon retail version here.
[Moto X General] Flexia32:

[Moto X General] dansskittles:
Bought an ATT code, lets see if this works.
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
My code worked like a charm. Purchased from the second seller. Was slightly cheaper too!
[Moto X General] matt99017d:
I used the middle (woman) [MENTION=5775288]chinese.silk[/MENTION]

Great communication! I had my code within 48 hours after purchase from her.....and she had the code to me with in 24 hours after I paid the 40 sum bucks.

That means the first 24 she responded to my question.

Another 24 I had my GOODS

Sent from my UNLOCKED Moto X!
[Moto X General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Anyone know if they do other phones beside Motorola?
[Moto X General] evandena:
Should I jump on this, or do you think SafeStrap will be good enough? $40 is kind of steep since I already have root and r/w. Can anyone convince me one way or another?

Thanks
[Moto X General] GandalfTehGray:
Unlocked you have a far better option to upgrade in the future without as many worries about bricking the device.
[Moto X General] T-Keith:
What is the "second seller"?

[Moto X General] Mayze23:
Motorola doesn't offer bootloader unlock codes for VZW or AT&T non DE versions. I for one chose to get the walnut back moto maker phone. The DE only come in white or black.

Now I have a moto maker DE [emoji6].
[Moto X General] bitz_dv:
Does anyone know where these codes are coming from? Did they crack the code and figure out how to generate the unlock key? Or are they stolen? I haven't noticed this question asked yet.

But i can unlock my device xt1058 retail in motorola website for free or only doing this method?

Enviado de meu XT1058 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Moto X General] Mayze23:
xt1058 is the AT&T model so you'll need to contact one of the Chinese vendors to get your code
[Moto X General] Flexia32:
On the one purchases it says it comes from from Motorola's data base. So you can figure that that....
[Moto X General] specularius:
I guess my translation is not working right. I get through the first part of getting the text and then the next part of registration stumps me on the Taobao site. What goes in the three boxes? The first one is your name? The second one with the three orange tiles bellow is email address? and the third is what? I'm lost at this point.
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
use google chrome, it will translate it for you... make sure to let the page fully load before hitting translate.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

There was a link posted earlier back... I wanna say around page 5 with a second person selling the codes.
[Moto X General] specularius:
OK. First box is user name, second box is password, third box is re-enter password. Got all the way to a payment confirmation. Hope this works.
[Moto X General] yamaha83:
what is the link to buy from silk? seems a lot of good outcomes from there.
[Moto X General] -iD:
Bought from CHEN Yan Asia

the first seller's site says "This baby has been off the shelf" which I guessed means not taking orders right now, but the second seller on Taobao had a live site and responded immediately to on-site chat, said he got my payment and IMEI from the comment box, so hoping for the best.
[Moto X General] fury683:
I used this method as well, as I couldn't get registered on the Chinese site (admittedly didn't try very hard). No word back yet. Let me know if you hear anything. I sent mine yesterday afternoon around 1pm CT.
[Moto X General] hoodlum47:
I ordered from this guy through taobao/alipay and got my code in under 2 hours.
[Moto X General] RigWig:
I just received my code from him via email, will try it to make sure it works when I get out of work though I assume it will.

I too was unsure if this method would work so I sent him a message via PayPal and he responded promptly.
[Moto X General] -iD:
which guy? The one I used had this email in the body of his listing: sbdnyy@163.com . His Taobao username is CHEN Yan Ya. Which one did you use?
[Moto X General] hoodlum47:
The guy you're talking about
[Moto X General] fury683:
Cool. I see everyone talking about getting codes back real quick, so I'm a little nervous, but it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. But China is like 13 hours ahead, so it was the middle of the night when I sent mine. Hopefully I see something back this afternoon.
[Moto X General] RigWig:
Yeah, I ordered mine yesterday morning around 9 am and didn't get it until 10 today

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

So I just ran fastboot oem unlock <code> and I believe it worked fine. It did not however wipe the data on my device. Is there a way to confirm this worked aside just flashing an unlocked rom?
[Moto X General] rohandhruva:
Reboot the phone. You should see a warning screen when the phone boots up, telling you that the bootloader is unlocked.
[Moto X General] Vortexx:
I ordered a code for my AT&T Moto X and recieved it today...but it doesn't work. I get this

(bootloader) fastboot oem unlock [ unlock code ]

OKAY [ 0.121s]

finished. total time: 0.122s

The phone says process oem command: unlock, but doesn't reboot and still says device is locked.

Edit: Never mind...It works...I'm an idiot for not noticing I had too many characters when i copy/pasted
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
deleted
[Moto X General] subguy812:
Once you receive your code what instructions are you following to unlock?
[Moto X General] sendbeer:
The first post on this thread gives you the command to unlock the phone through fastboot.

After that you just flash the recovery trwp. When you exit the recovery it will ask you if you want to install root. It's pretty easy process.
[Moto X General] johnfranckiv:
Ordered from him last night at 10pm EST... received code at noon today.. Will use it tonight when I get off work with no issues I presume. .. Was very fast.. Used PayPal in the instructions he has on his post.. Talked on Skype within 20 minutes. Excellent!
[Moto X General] dansskittles:
I ordered a code last night, tonight I got a message saying it has shipped. But I havnt gotten a text, email or message on the site.
[Moto X General] Flexia32:
Mine did that too. Log on to the Chinese site and you should have a message on there with the code

If you are logged in, it shows as a blue chat bubble in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it doesnt show up right away, try clicking on a random link to another page. I noticed it didnt show up 100% of the time for me.
[Moto X General] dansskittles:
I tried that, thats why I said "No message on the site". Unless theres something I'm missing. Which is possible, especially since its entirely in a language I don't understand.
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
use google chrome, it translates prob about 90% of the site.
[Moto X General] blackhand1001:
I have a dev edition so I don't need this but this is weird and cool at the same time. I wonder where they are getting the codes.

Also, aren't these codes tied to each device? Doesn't that mean the seller is generating them at the time of sale? If only the algorithm would leak.
[Moto X General] dansskittles:
Was able to get that to show up. Thanks a lot!
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
No problem. Did you get your code? Are you unlocked?

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

It sounds like they have someone inside Moto that has access to the DB that stores the codes. It seems each phone has its own unique code, and that Moto site only will release the ones tied to DE devices.
[Moto X General] dansskittles:
Got my code, ran fastboot oem unlock *CODE*

Terminal said

$ fastboot oem unlock CODE
< waiting for device >
...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002eb
FAILED (status read failed (Operation timed out))
finished. total time: 0.046s

My device started flashing, turned off. And has yet to turn back on, nothing I try seems to help.

looks like I might have paid $40 bucks to brick my phone.
[Moto X General] blackhand1001:
Yeah, I also think its not a database but some kind of hash function that generates the code.
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
push and hold power and volume down for about 30 secs

then push and hold power, it should boot back up

stupid question but i take it you pasted the code where you specified CODE in all caps in your fastboot command, correct? also make sure there wasnt any extra spaces.

EDIT:

one more note, the seller sent me back my IMEI *space* CODE, so you need to make sure you only paste the CODE part. It should begin with a Letter.
[Moto X General] dansskittles:
I only put in the unlock code, Im fairly sure there were no extra spaces.

Moved to http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/purchased-att-bl-unlock-code-phone-t2684879/post51163730 to keep this thread on-topic.
[Moto X General] somerandomname1:
As I wait for my code, I just want to check: in the OP it says "fastboot oem unlock <code>"

Might be stupid question, but do we include the brackets: < >
[Moto X General] asuhoops8628:
no, also make sure to run a fastboot devices first to ensure your device is properly connected and being read. If it is being read it should list a series of letters and numbers.

Also make sure you have the moto drivers installed found here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481/action/auth

[Moto X General] fury683:
After seeing posts here about people that got their codes back within 12 hour or so, I decided to double check. I sent the money to the wrong email address (sent to his gmail, not the 163.com address) by mistake. I was able to go to Paypal and cancel the payment, the funds were added back to my account instantly, so I made another payment to the proper address.
[Moto X General] DogzOfWar:
I have updated the original post with a great, complete set of directions from asuhoops8628, who has also been very active on this thread answering questions about the process.

If you followed the instructions and had good luck, please share it with the thread. If you had issues, or had to do something a little different, let us know as well and I'll update the original post.

As always, post your success stories so that others know this is working (or not!)
[Moto X General] -iD:
derp
[Moto X General] fury683:
You removed your post before I could reply. I got the info from reddit. I hadn't seen the option to Paypal directly, but someone there shared that the listing on the Chinese site had instructions for paying direct via Paypal for international users who had trouble with the Chinese site. I read it in the comments on reddit and did go to the posting and saw it there. I just copied the wrong address when I was making the payment on Paypal. They have the same local-part, but different domains (gmail vs. 163.com).

I retracted my payment and did it with the proper email address, which seemed to make more sense since the first time I was asked for the recipients name and country. but the second time I wasn't.

Just glad I caught it and was able to retract it, and I hadn't typed a totally random email address and some other fool got the money.
[Moto X General] T-Keith:
So many confusing posts here. Has anyone had any luck just paypalling the guy directly or are you guys still buying it through taobao and just paying paypal?
[Moto X General] rohandhruva:
Why would you want to do that, instead of purchasing via taobao?
[Moto X General] T-Keith:
Because you don't have to register at the site, which apears to only take a different payment method? And because it sounds like from some posts that is what some people did?
[Moto X General] cascade128:
Yesssssss... At&t Moto X XT1058 now BL Unlocked:victory:
[Moto X General] rohandhruva:
Registering on the site is not such a big hassle. You are missing out on a lot of levels of protection by directly paying the guy using Paypal. I know that paypal has its own protection system, but I've heard enough bad things about it to not trust paypal.

Taobao accepts "overseas card" as a payment method, and I was able to use my Chase USA card just fine. When you get to the checkout screen, click on the orange button with the downward facing arrow, and select "Overseas card" as a payment option. It was straightforward from there.
[Moto X General] T-Keith:
Thanks, but I don't have a visa/ only american express or mastercard/check card that likely will not work.
[Moto X General] rohandhruva:
It supports visa, mastercard and JCB. If you have a debit card, you can call the bank and allow foreign transactions. The foreign transaction fee might be high, though.

Note the area on top where it says "Other areas overseas edition" (after translation). On the checkout page, that's where you click to get this option.
[Moto X General] MattCropley:
I had success with PayPal. I bought it from the guy on taobao and had it within 36 hours

What address did you use?
[Moto X General] stonesaber:
I ordered mine this morning through his email address sbdnyy@163.com directly through paypal and received my unlock code about 2 hrs later. Couldn't wait to get home and unlock. No problem at all.
[Moto X General] scoobaspeaz:
Anyone worried at all that, even though you are getting the unlock keys, that now someone somewhere in China has your IMEI number on a list? Can't they clone these numbers to another phone?
[Moto X General] stonesaber:
As someone has stated, the imei number is on the label on the outside of the box the phone came in, so I'm not too concerned about it. If it was that sensitive, I doubt it would be that easy to get.
[Moto X General] somerandomname1:
Damn, 2 hours. I ordered about 5 hours ago, I was hoping for a quick turnaround like you described.

paid chinese.silk yesterday, using google wallet, got the code today, works well.

easy transaction, don't know Chinese so its worth the $1.99
[Moto X General] Vortexx:
Yes I paid directly through paypal and sent my imei with the note during payment. I got the code the next day and it worked.
[Moto X General] noahsark3:
Another VZW success, through Taobao, paid with Visa. If you accidentally don't include an IMEI in your order, he'll email you and ask for it (talk about a nice guy). I emailed him separately with my IMEI and he got it back to me in half an hour.
[Moto X General] StephenMilone:
just did an order via paypal. very quick response to my inital email. can't wait to get my code!
[Moto X General] somerandomname1:
You sent a separate email besides the comments in the paypal payment? I'm getting nervous that I won't receive my code.
[Moto X General] StephenMilone:
yep
[Moto X General] Slick52:
Sent payment via paypal

I just sent $42.50 via paypal. Then I sent an email to the same address using the email address that is associated with my paypal account. Sent IMEI via both messages. He replied to the email I sent outside of paypal almost instantly and said: " ok in 4h done ".

Man, I hope this works. I will be one happy MotoX owner.
[Moto X General] detonation:
So how's this guy getting unlock codes? Access to the same software/algorithm motorola has to generate the code?

Still seems kind of shady to have to send your IMEI and phone number out. I'd be worried my device would wind up blacklisted or something.
[Moto X General] Slick52:
I thought about that too, but I always have my Galaxy Nexus as a backup, and I "technically" didn't pay anything for the MotoX. The rewards outway the risks in my situation. Having a rooted 4.4 with a jacked up recovery is annoying. My old Galaxy Nexus has 4.4.2.
[Moto X General] fury683:
For those asking, I only sent payment via Paypal with my IMEI in the notes, and got a reply saying "ok code in 24 hour"
[Moto X General] -iD:
dang, i bought from the same guy (through taoboa) and chatted with him on-site and later via email, but still no code.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rompip:
Good evening,

I have a N7000 with Stock ROM 4.1.2 and the phone is rooted. Today after a periode of time I started the phone and it did the usual updated, including the Superuser.

After the update it freezed and in rebooted it pressing the power and home button. Ever since then I end up in a bootloop with reboots. I still can enter into recovery (Philz 6.0.3.1), however if I delete for example Dalvik cache the phone reboots (don't know if it ends the operation, or if it fails).

I am afraid that the bootloop is caused by the SU, however I am not sure.

I would need some advice, how the exit from the bootloop. Do I need to redo the rooting and install the SU?

Thanks for any suggestions.
