Many thanks to Franzie and NWKENT. Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted, and it all took less than 24 hours.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
Here is a question. Can the boot loader be locked again if we take a software update or do a full fxz ?
[Droid Ultra General] kuja87:
Can anyone PM me instructions? Thanks
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Sir..once Unlocked, always Unlocked..unless manually Relocked.. :)

No need to Relock..

Thanks to all for posting their experiences; helpful as always. So my first post here turns out to be a request (I hate asking before contributing) ...

Can I snag a PM with instructions/info on the bootloader unlock?
[Droid Ultra General] asuhoops8628:
Hey man, check out this moto x thread. Contains everything you need to know http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/verizon-moto-maker-bootloader-unlock-t2680651

[Droid Ultra General] DB126:
Thanks, kcipopnevets. I'll try to step through the material provided by asuhoops8628. Call me crazy but I feel some obligation to actually work for this vs riding in the wake of others. That said, I may be back for a simplified PM if the gory detail overwhelms my three remaining brain cells :)
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
I know you guys and gals are tired of seeing this >> "See your PM" and my long boring signature..Please forgive me..a few are working on the PM requests..and I'm doing this so we do not overlap one another..so the same person doesn't receive several requests..if anyone can think of a better way to handle this..Call me ears..

Oh..BTW..a signature of sorts helps SO much..when we ones that try to help others..saves a few PM's..will have some idea of that ones device..plus..its kinda is Kool / Fun to personalize, as we truly are all individuals..and the signature is nice to see..Just me thow.. :)

Hi, can I get a pm as well on the easiest way to get the unlock code...thanks.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
OP Updated to reflect what to do. Included link to Moto X thread that has more detailed info. no need to have PM sent etc etc etc etc all over now. Just refer people to OP for details. if they need further help then help them.

Also please note that there are more then 1 seller and we still do not want to just bombard one seller to the point where they decide to jump ship them we have people saying how it didn't work etc etc. I believe there have been more then a handful of confirmed sellers at this point.
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Sounds reasonable to me..

[Droid Ultra General] Mustang02:
Mine just came. And my bootloader is now unlocked. Thank you everyone who pioneered this and NWKent for the PM.

Hope this system stays around for a long time. I have a couple more devices I want unlocked.
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Another confirmation - I just got mine unlock code via Ebay seller - less than 24 hours
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
I'm unlocked. Pictures to come shortly. SUCCESS SUCCESS SUCCESS!!

Also forgot unlocking wiped my phone....lol no big deal I will take that
[Droid Ultra General] summer.cat:

Got unlocked. Custom TWRP installed and rooted. All behaving normally.
[Droid Ultra General] italysfinest327:
Hey Franzie just sent you a pm, not sure if this is the same guy you used, just want to make sure i bought the right item
[Droid Ultra General] contesauce:
Franzie what version twrp did you get, I read recently they updated.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
i grabbed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 form Moto X and flashed through ADB commands. I used it and had it install SuperSU. And then just updated the SU binary and also had root.

Non of this is official, just lucky it works. If Dev picks up on this im sure they will pop up
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
Op updated!!

OP UPDATED WITH IMAGES FROM MY UNLOCK.

Has anyone been able to send a payment to this 3rd party buyer via paypal within the past 24-36 hours? I would prefer to stick with this buyer, as they have been confirmed as reliable by others on XDA up until this issue.

I'd like to get in on this while it's still an option.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
if i had 4.2 on my droid maxx can i unlock my bootoader ?

or i need to get a unlock code?

thanks
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
You need an unlock code
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
I've unlocked my MAXX, of course got wiped, but that was expected. Official unlock process do that and it is an official unlock, but you get the code not from moto directly =)

My spouse's mini is on the way this evening.

I hope these unlocks will give a noticeable speedup in ROM development. I'm so happy now :victory:
[Droid Ultra General] bird3051:
I'm going to try this when I get home. Did you have to push the SuperSU or did TWRP have that option on it?
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
can someone help me unlock my droid maxx?

what i must do

a pm will be great

thanks
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
After flashing twrp through afb commands then reboot boot loader and boot into recovery. Then when yo go to reboot system it will promo you to install SuperSU

Once you do it will reboot then just go into the SuperSU app and follow prompts
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
Yes I forgot to mention that you wipe your entire phone so pull anything off it you want. I was pissed I lost photos....oh well..

I'll update the OP
[Droid Ultra General] bird3051:
Cool. I will try it as soon as I walk through the front door.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:

So is there a write up on how to get it unlocked once u get the code? cause when I fasboot OEM unlock it says waiting for device
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
See the OP, there is a link to a quick write up there. If not PM me and I will help you out.

Its fastboot oem unlock (code)

make sure you are booted into the bootloader and do a fastboot devices to make sure it is online once there.
[Droid Ultra General] nimdae:
What OS are you on? On linux, I have to sudo the fastboot commands otherwise it can't reach the device. There's likely a group I could add my user to in order to fix this, but your situation sounds like you're not on Windows and that worked for me.
[Droid Ultra General] mdav07:

Unlocked

unlocked and rooted now. eBay source is awesome, kept me updated and even wanted confirmation that it worked.
[Droid Ultra General] pujdo1:
excuse me.

i am looking a long time at a new smartphone with a big battery and i played long with the thought of buying the droid maxx, as it has one of the best battery lifes. a other option would be the lg g2, but since it has a locked bootloader it is no option for me.

i am from germany and if i buy a droid maxx from ebay now, i would have to wait about 1-2 weeks until the phone would arrive here, and first then i could do this unlocking method. the problem is, that we dont know how long this unlocking method will work. :( because i dont want a bootloader looked phone...

any ideas or recommendations ?
[Droid Ultra General] kcipopnevets:
Perhaps you can ask your seller for the IMEI on the phone they're giving you and you can have the unlock code before the phone gets to you?
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Check the Device Manager if your PC recognizes the phone properly as "ADB Device" - I bet that's the problem. Install Motorola Device Manager for proper drivers (or there could be other ways of getting ADB drivers)
[Droid Ultra General] aameghoo:
will your phone hardware still be covered under warranty after doing this? Like problems not software related?
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Sir..Not sure if you worked it out..but in your post..You have OEM..I do believe, one cannot use (all capps), needs to be >> oem

And maybe post #388 answered your question..

Seems like I ran into that a couple months ago..we Relocking for a test..not expert here thow..someone please correct me if I'm wrong..

[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
New to motorola but I was wondering if I get an unlock code can I just hang on to it and not use it? I would like to what until my warranty is up to unlock it but I don't want to miss out on getting a code.

Thanks.
[Droid Ultra General] Mustang02:
You can but why? Warranty isn't my concern. Run your device at full speed.
[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
Don't want to void my warranty because my phone is provided through work and I couldn't afford to replace it if something were to happen.

;)
[Droid Ultra General] Mustang02:
That makes sense. Only issue I see is getting a key and you need to warranty the device. You'd have a key for nothing, then again this could go away any minute.

Yeah I hate to miss out.

[Droid Ultra General] nukeruss:
I just fixed up my wife's phone. Mine's still better and worth the extra 300 bucks for the fancy "Developers Edition" marking on the back. Unlocking wife's phone was a pain "can't lose any SMS or MMS she says". Moto Migrate worked great to send them to my phone and then back to hers.
[Droid Ultra General] Collisionc:
I viewed this as pissing $40-$50 bucks in the wind, but hey, it worked. Got the code, unlocked and rooted.

Note for others: I was wondering why I hadn't heard from the seller, apparently he had sent me a message on the website, but having google auto-translate everything on the website made the message not show up. I just turned off auto translate, clicked on the message, and the code was there.
[Droid Ultra General] DB126:
Noob question: Where on the Taobao website (general screen area) do I click to access the message queue? I have been waiting ~24 hrs which is still well within the 1-2 days promised. The seller acknowledge payment so I know the order was received. The unlock code could well be there but I'm just not seeing it. I feel like a dork for asking ... probably right in front of my nose :)
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
I've got my code via Ebay but ready others posted that if you use Google Translate to translate taobao you need to turn that off and view the site in Chinese in order to see the green flashing message icon on top. I'm sure others will chime in with more details.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
There is a little blue drop looking thing on the bottom left, its like a facebook chat thing..Or if you go to the order details next to the sellers name there is a blue drop thing, you need to click it and it opens chat.
[Droid Ultra General] DB126:
Thanks Franzie3 and CrazyRussianXDA. I was on the right track. No flashing indicator yet and the tear drop only brings up my original message to the seller. Both translated and untranslated versions of the site. Patience is a virtue...just need to hang back and wait. :)

Update: Code arrived a few minutes ago via chat. No proactive notification that I could detect; just opened chat window and code was there. Have to wait until tonight to test but I assume code is good as others experiences have been all positive. Have to figure out how to navigate feedback system as seller deserves props for delivering as advertised.
[Droid Ultra General] maveric710:
Can I get one of those PM's about where to go to unlock my phones?
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
Just received my code. Took 48 hrs with the ebay buyer. Very satisfied. Time to backup and follow guides from the wonderful NWKent!
[Droid Ultra General] yay pie:
PayPal'd the guy and sent an email. Hopefully he'll come through soon.

I want to keep my warranty intact so I'm not going to unlock yet; just planning to sit on the code since who knows if this opportunity will go away. It'll help hedge my bets against the possibility of Motorola slowing down updates after the summer, since at that point the phone will have been out for a year.

Ok, done a but of reading and I'm ready to go through with this just need a little hand holding. I've got a Verizon Droid Mini XT1030. From what I understand it's the exact same thing as an Ultra just with a smaller screen. I'm having issues finding the correct auction on the Chinese site. It seems you can't use their payment system and must use paypal but having trouble deciphering how to do that on the chinese page. I'm OK going through eBay but you have to know what auction to link them to. I just need to know what to buy so I can root this darned thing. I really really don't want to have to buy a Samsung just so I can root. Thanks in advance for the help.

[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Before doing what kcipopnevets stated, download the TWRP recovery from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51155272&postcount=294

Then do all at once:

from your PC:

1. Unlock: fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXX (<your code)

2. Install the recovery: fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.7.0.0-moto_msm8960dt.img

3. Reboot into recovery: adb reboot recovery

from your Phone:

in TWRP recovery, select restart (or reboot) system, TWRP will ask you if you want to install SuperSU - choose yes - phone restarts. Once the initial setup of the phone is done, open SuperSU from app drawer and it will prompt you to update binaries.

Done

EDITED to another thread for fastboot specifically
[Droid Ultra General] DB126:
Curious if anyone has received 4.4.2 OTA (aside from soak testers) and whether unlock will survive the update. Normally I'd say yes but Moto/VZW messed with the bootloader on the 4.4 update preventing downgrades, etc. I suspect those parties are now aware unlock codes are leaking out for non-developer handsets and may take countermeasures. Anyhow, if 4.4.2 is imminent I may wait to unlock as it is always takes a bit of time to re-customize after flashing. XT1030 (Moto Mini).
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Where did you see soak tests went out for the maxx mini or ultra. Can't find any info
[Droid Ultra General] DB126:
Uh-oh, may have messed up :silly:. I read something about a 4.4.2 soak test a couple weeks back but it may have been for the moto X or purely speculation. I didn't recheck the source before posting; my bad. If there hasn't been a soak for maxx/mini/ultra then the next OTA is probably a ways off.
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
no soak test for the Droids yet
[Droid Ultra General] yay pie:
When the RAZR HD had an unlock hole, they didn't do anything to re-lock people's bootloaders, they just closed the hole so nobody else could later. Unlocks survived.

When an update comes out, sit tight before taking it. If the bootloaders do start re-locking themselves, then just don't take updates via OTA. Someone here will no doubt create an update package that doesn't include the update to the bootloader.

I do wonder if the unlock code is something that's burned into the device along with the IMEI. If not, and it's a value that's just numerically derived from the IMEI but we don't know how so, they could always push a patch to the bootloader that changes the scheme used to validate codes. If the codes were stolen from Motorola, they could potentially just invalidate all of them via a bootloader patch. Upshot of that would be that if you haven't already unlocked your device, they could make the code useless.
[Droid Ultra General] asuhoops8628:
glad you got it. also find and install TWRP from the Moto X development section. boot recovery, and make a nandroid, attempt to reboot the phone and it will prompt you to root
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
If your computer does not recognize your phone(it never has since the Droid Maxx), is this a no go?
[Droid Ultra General] ericinmn999:
For anyone having problems with getting TWRP to stick using v2.7.0.0 (or maybe it is just me)... re-read the directions. I did the install no fewer than 20 times using fastboot and mfastboot and could never get in to TWRP... until I realized that the DOWN VOLUME is "change option" and the UP VOLUME is "select"... just like it says in the directions but my mind was using the volume as up/down option scroll and the POWER BUTTON as select... which reboots the device and overwrites TWRP. DOWN VOLUME to recovery and UP VOLUME to select works like a charm. My bad...

Thanks for the solution everyone. I will likely stay on stock but for some crazy reason there is a satisfying feeling achieving unlock/root and taking control of the device.
[Droid Ultra General] asuhoops8628:
