Oh ok, chinese guy probably wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone.

I did the refund yesterday, but I got mine back this morning too.

Yeah, I don't understand why he said that either. But he did say try in a month, so I guess I'll try next month and see what happens :crying:
[Droid Ultra General] 1454:
It seems to me it would be easier on all parties involved if he would set up and email to just ask if "IMEI" is on his "list" and if it is then direct one to a payment method. Instead of paying and having to go through the refund process. I don't even say this just as a consumer, but as a seller to. It seems like more of a hassle for him as well.

It has also been known for quite sometime before that. How else would you get them? they're for carrier brands of phones that were never part of the boot loader unlock program, so obviously an employee stole them from their database. Google around you'll find the info on it.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
Umm... Quoting some random tweet involving jcase doesn't make anything a fact. Thanks anyway.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
Looking back through this thread and several others, there are people who have received emails from this "China man" who refers to a database. To me it's only logical that it's a database, or through someone who has access to it.

Not sure why it matters though because either way we will never have personal access to the codes, database or not

Sent from my XT1080M "Developer Edition"
[Droid Ultra General] xDroid4Lifex:
It is a fact. A Motorola employee stole the database and sold it. Like I said search around and you'll find the info, also that tweet is not random? Someone asked him where the codes were coming from and he told them, jcase is a security researcher not just an android dev. You'd think he'd hear about things like that right, and where would he have come up with that information "randomly"

It has been stated on the forums multiple times that's where the codes came from. There is no other way! The codes are device specific and Motorola is the only company that has access to them! So obviously an employee would have to leak that database for someone to be selling them.

Maybe this is the cutoff date for the records? Or maybe it's random? Who knows. I'm just glad he's streamlined the process with refunds promptly when it doesn't work.

Have you guys tried again now that the Chinese guy is back.

My phone is assembled on 1/10/2014. I think I would lose in forex and currency conversion charges even if I get the refund back to my account. So, I am not trying until someone else with USD account tries first.
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Many many users got their phones unlocked in the second wave already, keep waiting until the opportunity goes away again. Plus, you will not know if the chinaman has a code for your phone until you send the payment and he looks it up.

[Droid Ultra General] VBlack:
Hello, everybody.

I has a XT1080M 2013 build, so I could not unlock bootloader now. But I want to spent some time investigating our bootloader stuff.

So, guys, who _successfully_ unlock bootloader with fastboot oem unlock, could you provide me in PM some information? I hope it could help me proceed further in our bootloader investigation.

What I need:

1. Answer from "fastboot oem get_unlock_data"

2. Unlock code, which you put into "fastboot oem unlock"

3. Your phone model number SKU (ex. MOXT1080M)

4. Phone build date (from barcodes)

For sure I will not provide any of provided info to anyone else.

Thanks to everyone in advance.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
Sounds shady.
[Droid Ultra General] VBlack:
In/out data is a basic source of cryptanalysis, so there is nothing weird, on asking this. Another point is that there is no private data. I could not even imagine, how it could be harmful.
[Droid Ultra General] rekids:
Think the shady part is more then anything else is someone who has few posts and not well know requesting information that is unique to one phone. A valid unlock codes only works on one phone. That could be shady ...
[Droid Ultra General] Mustang02:
You want SSN and my credit card #s too?
[Droid Ultra General] VBlack:
You sent IMEI, and receive unlock code from Chinese guy. So he has all this information.

I don't understand your sarcasm about ssn and credit. I do not asking for sensitive information.
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Yeah, the Chinese guy does have that information, he has it even now WITHOUT me providing him anything - he has the database (or list). You, on the other hand, have nothing and asking for information you have no business with. Also, I dont know if you wanted to add weight to your post by using words like "investigation" but I'm sure it does the opposite - what kind of investigation? who are you "investigating" it for? Are you an investigator?

Or, you are just trying to get some unlock codes and try using them on your device.

In any case, in the best case this attempt is naive, in the worst case - this is a lame attempt to collect some useless information
[Droid Ultra General] VBlack:
Well, I'm not naive. I'm dealing with cryptanalysis last 10+ years. Mostly I use IDA for this, if you know, what I'm talking about. For sure, unlock code from another device will not work on my, or anybody else device, I would not even try. But it could help to look into correct bootloader path of execution oem_unlock command inside bootloader.

I don't want to argue with you here. If you have some technical questions - you could PM me.

PS. Here we have big community where people trying to help each other with different problems/stuff - so it is nothing wrong to ask about some information which is needed for some research about this topic. I see from the pool above that at least 89 guys successfully use unlock code from chinese guy - so some of them could share this info with me, if they want, that's it.

I am tempted to try since the 'Chinaman/SBDNYY' does not have codes for my 14 January Droid Maxx.

This method posted by classic757 is the one i used to unlock my XT1080 Droid Maxx. In my excitement, I mistakenly posted that i used the method from page 1 of this thread. I apologize for the error because I respect this forum and accurate information is crucial. The "China middleman back" thread is under Moto X forum, but I know for a fact it applies to the consumer edition Droid Maxx. It took 38 hours after payment until I received my code, and that is the longest time I have seen reported, with most coming between 12 and 24 hours.

It is very easy. You paypal $45 to "sbdnyy@163.com" and you include your IMEI and email address you want the code sent to in the notes.

Make absolutely sure you pay as "Goods and Services" and NOT gift. If he doesn't have your code, you get refunded. If you pay as "Gift", you DO NOT get refunded if he doesn't have your code.

You don't get to ask him if he has your code first. You have to take a chance and "roll the dice". Remember -- as long as you pay "Goods and Services", you get refunded if he doesn't have your code.

I've only started running this ROM this morning and it is basically stock but better since the Moto X comes with better dialer and email IMO. Topsnake even ported the Circles apk for those who likes that, but I prefer the Google Now Launcher. I'm rooted and TWRP'd with Xposed Framework running. All the normal stuff.

The 2013 Droids (Mini/Ultra/Maxx) are now supported by Sunshine. It costs $25 USD per phone unlocked. It works on devices running Android 4.4.3 and older, and has also unlocked a small number of 4.4.4 devices.

For free, it will test if it can unlock your phone.

If Sunshine cannot unlock your device, or for some reason you still wish to pay twice as much to "the guy with a list of codes", then as always the procedure is:
