Be careful when doing this. There are more than just build date variations to these models. If he came back with a box that was almost all smooth black, then you can most likely get your bootloader unlocked, but it's only a 16GB version with silver accents. If the first box he brought out was an older, gray and silver box with the Droid eye, then that one is the 32gb version and black accents, but it most likely can't have its bootloader unlocked.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
on mine on the box says 12.03.2014

so it van be unlocked or not?

or i must verify in recovery mode?
[Droid Ultra General] roidsmith:
It can be unlocked. Check in "about me" to verify. Mine was 25.03.2014 and I am now unlocked
[Droid Ultra General] Mudvayne622:
Really sucks that only the 2014 variants can be unlocked
[Droid Ultra General] elborak:
As I stated in my post, I was specifically getting the 32GB version. Of course I checked that, and both phones were the correct, 32GB original version.

I'm not sure what your basis for this assertion is. The seller has clearly told multiple people that he only has 2014 units in his current database (although the fact that he has done a few late 2013 units indicates that this cutoff is not exact). So I deliberately got the newest one I could and had no problem getting the unlock code for it.
[Droid Ultra General] Ivanstein:
I believe what you are referring to is the date the OS package was complied from source. My build date says April 30 of 2014, which is impossible because I bought the phone last August (I think). At any rate I have owned the phone since the last quarter of 2013 at least.
[Droid Ultra General] roidsmith:
I don't think you clicked status.
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
You are looking in the wrong place. Go to "Status" and there you will find 'Assembled On" date

I got my code this morning. Working like a charm. Build Date 2/23/14
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
thats the build date of 4.4 kitkat for Droid maxx i guess

Very little chance if not no chance to get root in future update, imho...
[Droid Ultra General] bakakun028:
Will this method work for the mini also?
[Droid Ultra General] stang6790:
No this is not the "Build date" once in the about phone screen tap "status" and scroll to the bottom and it says "Assembled on". I never knew it was there until I stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago.I don't know if this would relate to the possibility of unlocking or not but it is there if that is what they mean.

Augh. Cluster f@#$% of an unlock. Wanted to unlock my 12/2013 Mini, didn't get in during the month service was provided and I now it's back, but only for the NEWEST models? Sketchy. Wish we had more interest in these phones so we could unlock without paying someone to abuse a db they managed access.
[Droid Ultra General] elborak:
How would having "more interest" somehow magically allow us to unlock the bootloader? Yes, a few phones have had brief windows when they could be unlocked with an exploit, but most have not, and will not. Furthermore, the finder of the last such exploit has already said that it's getting increasingly difficult and he's no longer pursuing such exploits. And this phone shares a lot with the X, which is very popular, and still has no exploit.

Sure, free is better, but we are fortunate that this phone has any means of being unlocked without paying for a developer's edition.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
jcase will not unlock the bootloader or working on root for Droid maxx

says this to me on a conversation on Twitter

i must pay chinese guy,i woulld prefer to donate to some dev team.

why the bootloader of Droid maxx VZW is so difficult to unlock??
[Droid Ultra General] svzurich:
I view it as my right to be able to unlock the phone. Especially since I paid $650 for it outright before they announced the Dev edition. Had it been out, I'd have had it and unlocked it on day one. Same hardware and price to me, so I believe I should have the same right to unlock.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
I agree considering it wasn't an option on launch day. I even went as far as contacting Motorola and asking for reconsideration and basically their response was since you bought it from a Verizon store you're SOL.

Assembled 8/17/13. My phone has physical damage (major scratches) and many dents. Considering this, (no root, locked BL) how can I damage my phone to get a free replacement without physically breaking it (2014 assembled version so I can unlock)? It's less than 1 year since I bought it and I don't have any extra support packages or extended warranties from Verizon, I just have the default simple warranty which I am still covered under.

i done it once with my Droid

i flash some recovery from Nexus and he turn on but he didn t boot at system,will remain on fastboot screen.

i do not want u to do this,but if u insist.

or u can say to Motorola that ur device is getting too hot when u used and u are afraid not to explode and have randoms restarts,the camera flash stays always on and the phone is always hot,etc.

choose one or all :))

I did realize that there is one small point that's not mentioned in the Moto X OP (though it is discussed later in the thread); when you pay via PayPal, make sure you pay as as "goods or services" and not as a gift. This will simplify the refund process if he's unable to give you the code for your phone.

fastboot oem unlock not working

I "happened across" bootloader unlock codes for my 2014 Verizon Droid Max. When I try to unlock my bootloader, I don't receive error messages yet my phone remains locked. Any help? Anyone?

I run this command from my ubuntu 14.05 LTE terminal:

sudo fastboot oem unlock ############# ##################

The ubuntu responds with this:

(bootloader) fastboot oem unlock [ unlock code ]
OKAY [ 0.142s]
finished. total time: 0.142s

My XT1080M in fastboot mode responds with this

process oem command: unlock

Yet nothing else expected happens (no prompt warning me and requiring confirmation, no message on screen reflecting unlocked status. In fact, after rebooting phone back into fastboot mode, I still see

Device is LOCKED. Stats code: 0

No dice. I'm probably doing something real stupid but can't get it right and followed numerous posts to the letter.

Any help?

TIA,

kawczynski

It looks like you're entering both your IMEI and your unlock code. Only enter the unlock code.

Yeah. Depends on when the phone was built. The person selling says for 2014 only. However some with Nov/Dec 2013 have had success. To find build date go to settings---about phone---status, scroll to the bottom for assembled on date.

I purchased the "code" for my 2014 Droid Ultra like many others that have posted. Last night, I received two codes. I was wondering if anyone else had seen this and understood what I got. Here is the way the email looked:

99000XXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

99000XXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The IMEI matches mine except the last digit is missing from the end of the number. The two codes are alpha/numeric and contain 20 letter/numbers as I would have expected.

Does anyone know which code I should use? Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to determine if code will work without unlocking?

I would really appreciate some insight.
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Yes..I have seen this..suggestion..Try one if it fails, then try the second one..if the unlock code fails, your device will NOT be harmed or altered..

BTW..ONLY use the 20 character code..NOT the IMEI..the set of characters starting with 99 is your IMEI..do not include..

Writing it off as speculation is a little harsh. I think it's pretty widely accepted. That being said, you're right-we don't actually know how the unlock codes are being found. Ultimately, if the guy has access to the codes, how he has access doesn't really matter. From the information we have, there's no way anyone can "reverse-engineer" this seller's access, so I don't see any reason to be pedantic about it. :laugh:

Stop pm'ing me dude hook me or tell me how to do this. I am not going to help someone that hasn't done anymore than read the title of this thread that's just lazy. There is enough info that you can do this yourself. If you get stuck and can't figure it out I am more than glad to help.

that would be cool. i sent Lenovo an email regarding this locked bootloader deal on the Motorola line. I got an email saying they received my comment but have not received any actual reply. This hush hush secrecy is throwing me off. Im still new to this thread. Im kinda starting to resent motorola. haha
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
The point is no one is certain why the method exists and by what means. Whether someone figured out how to crack it or they have other means. I also did not just want to blurt out exactly what to do otherwise the loophole may have closed and the more and more people get bombarded with request the less likely it may work or something like that. All I was trying to do was let people know there was a way and a brief explanation of how to get there without just giving it away. All that is needed is for someone to do what you did and simply look around and find the answer.

Also keep in mind this is something brand new, not something that has been out there so we want to make sure the method last long enough and hopefully get development picking up on this device just like the old 2012 model devices. No reason to get mad over it, but you have to try and understand where I am coming from. I am not the only person that feels this way

i still love Motorola, no one elses phones have appealed to me as much, and you even keep your warranty when you unlock your bootloader. i dont think they can really control being bought and sold. and im almost sure all of this frustration with the droids is because of Verizon...
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
Exactly. While I have probably had 50 PM's yesterday, i think 45 of them just said some variation of "hey can you tell me how". Others who figured it out and just needed some more help because the process is somewhat annoying I dont mind helping.

That and the exclusivity of them on verizon. n
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
I agree about Verizon being the main reason behind locking down everything they can... They are money hogs. Not sure about having warranty on consumer edition phones once you unlock the boot loader though... But that's why I pay for insurance for the phone

I recommend installing 2.6.3.1 TWRP and following the instructions on the OP for installing root. This will work for now until/IF we get some kind of official Ultra/Mini/Maxx build if they decide.

the warranty would definitely be gone on non DEs. and yeah ive got squaretrade on my DE. would love to know how "they" are doing "this".
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
I asked the person who i got it from. never got a response. Offered him a partnership to help him out and find out if he cracked it or whatever. I didnt get a response as of yet, something tells me i wont either. Not a big deal either way. The only thing that will suck is if Dev doesnt pick up on it now. I would also like to see if we will be able to accept OTA updates or atleast get a flashable one. m sure 4.4.2 will be here not before long.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
We should be able to accept an ota as long as we are on stock firmware. I wouldn't think it would matter if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Droid Ultra General] spiral777:
yeah probably 4.4.2 in a week or two...and i dont really expect an explanation from china either...

as far as devs go im grateful moto_msm8960dt already has cm11, PACman, and Gummy...wasnt really expecting even that many customs roms...just wanted a phone with a good battery...and since its so similar to the moto x i dont think its going to be a problem keeping up with android updates...probably just flashable zips

im really hoping that somehow xt1080mdev gets multirom recovery
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
Agreed, i was hoping to maybe tinker with a stock rom package and get some stock firmware roms with some tweaked performance feaures and maybe some kernel development. Will have to wait and see.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
How long did it take for you all to get your code
[Droid Ultra General] spiral777:
i think moto did a great job optimizing the stock rom...gonna stick with it...but would love to switch roms without erasing stock...

i sold some things i had around the house and bought a nexus 5 for more of a development base...cant imagine flashing anymore without multirom...erasing data every time got old...and xposed is more than enough on the DEs stock ROM...

and i think root is to risky without being able to flash a custom recovery...

why the bootloader is not unlocked?

it was make it for Verizon or by Verizon?

why the other Motorola phones are unlockable and this one no??

seems strange to me

and no one who really cares about finding an exploit or a method to root this phone

maybe with 4.4.2 o .4.4.3 will have more succes

no ofense to devs or hackers
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
The bootloader unlock issue really comes down to the individual cell phone companies and their requirements that phones have to meet to be on their network. I believe that Verizon doesn't allow the phones that they sell as a subsidized or "consumer" version to be unlocked because people can take the phone they paid nothing for to other networks and only pay about half of the original cost of the phone in cancelation fees, can use their phone as a hotspot (for those of us on unlimited data that have to root to use it), and can get rid of Verizon's software that they want us to use and pay them for (visual voice mail, vzw tones, their cloud storage etc.). It's all about money, control and more money... It's logical business sense.

As far as development goes, I never expected this phone to be a big hit with developers for a few reasons. The one that stands out most to me is that this is a carrier exclusive series; even though very similar to the moto x, it's enough of a difference to deter most developers. Add in the fact that it's a CDMA network that basically only Verizon and Sprint use doesn't help either.

It's such a shame because this really is a good phone that being strangled to death by Verizon

Thank you for this information. I just wanted to make sure that what I had received was not out of the ordinary as I am not ready to unlock just yet. This gives me some reasonable assurance that one of the codes will work. In all the posts that I have read on this subject here and elsewhere, I do not remember any situations where a code was received and did not work. In most cases, it boiled down to codes not being available for certain build dates. Also, thanks for the tip on not including the IMEI when unlocking.

Hi guys, first post but longtime lurker on this forum. I just wanted to share my experience with trying to unlock my Droid Maxx Verizon Employee Edition.
