Cable

I had a weird experience as well. My maxx HD is rooted and fastboot is working fine. I plugged in my droid maxx and could not get 'fastboot devices' to show a connected devices on win 8.1. I then put the same cable on my Linux ubuntu 13.1 (with android SDK) same result. So I switched to the origional moto cable and it works. I then moved the moto cable to the windows box and it works without fail.

Try switching cables.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
I wish. Only have the factory cable.

[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Yes..sounds crazy..but do this..make sure you have Motorola Device Manager 2.4.5 installed..then do a Google search for "Motorola MTP Device"..WinXP see's the XT1080 as a "MTP Media Player"..install those drivers..Reboot

Maybe do a "install new hardware" search in Control panel..that worked for me..XP found the device, and installed the drivers..if not successful.. Do the above mentioned..

fastboot

Get into fastboot on the phone then plug the cable. Look at the phone. Do you see 'USB Connected' or 'Charging'. Charging showed on my phone when the cable didn't work. XP or cable

Linux kernel takes care of drivers so all so you need is fastboot to match your architecture, change to directory with fastboot, and type 'sudo ./fastboot oem unlock "20 digit key"'

Thank you

Unlocked, rooted, and on my way to a more enjoyable device. A big thank you to NWKENT, Hashcode, jcase, and many more I am not familiar with for any and all help they've provided to the community. It really is appreciated. FWIW, I used the ebay handler, and received my code in 48 hrs. She was even able to discern between all my email addresses, and mix matched accounts to facilitate the transaction. Thank you again.

Got my code today. Took just under 24 hours. I bought directly via the Chinese site. Figuring out how to buy and pay was a royal PITA but I got it done. Did a chat with the seller this morning and had the code within an hour. Going to sit down in the morning and try to get it rooted.
[Droid Ultra General] stonesaber:
Bought my unlock code for my moto x directly with paypal through Mr. Chen at the email address sbdnyy@163.com. I also sent him a separate email confirming my purchase to cover my bases. He responded quickly and I received the code in less that 3 hrs. and it worked like a charm. Also have a Dev edition Maxx so don't need one for it. All of this info is available in the moto x general forum. Don't know why the need for all the pm's and quasi-secrecy regarding this. The taobao site was too difficult to navigate for me because it wouldn't translate most of the pages but all the info to direct pay is at the bottom of the page.

If your code is really long with a space in the middle then the first half is your imei and is not part of your unlock code. Took me a couple tries on my wife's phone before I noticed.
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
If it says it's connected in fastboot and typing fastboot devices shows your iPhone then I suspect an error in the code. Make sure it has 20 characters. Also try copying and pasting it into notepad then delete and retype the 1st and last characters to make sure there is no weird hidden spaces then past in into your fastboot command line.

I have followed this thread with great interest as, until this, I thought it might not be possible to unlock and then root an XT1080m running 4.4. However, only since yesterday did I finally HAVE an XT1080m. I've read every page of this thread so I know there's been some evolution as to what is the preferred way(s) to get the code to unlock the bootloader. I know it's possible to translate a Chinese web page to buy a bootloader code and I know there are some number of eBay-listed middle men providing the needed codes. I'm willing to wade back through the posts and take a shot at it myself but I'd be grateful if someone who's been through this process successfully in the past week would PM me with a link and maybe a few tips or guidelines? Could it possibly be as simple as described? I hope so!

Motorola wake up

It has absolutely nothing to do with Motorola. It's Verizon that requests the lock and non-release of unlock codes. Motorola either complies or doesn't sell the device.

I wonder how many people have used their services.

A fraction of the people that own the device. "We" greatly over estimate the root/mod community most times.

No ****. Most people don't even know what their phone can really do. Point and click drones.

But I'm sure they're making more money than the unlocked bootloader/root bounty threads combined though.

Just a little side note for anyone who went directly through the tao site itself with no middle man....I paid with my credit card directly and it went through fine, but almost a week later I went to log on to my card account online and my card was blocked... I had to call and verify I made that purchase, (Fraud protection) to unblock my card. I guess an overseas purchase no matter how small the amount can set off a few red flags....lol just figured you guys who got your code the same way might want to check your card to save you some frustration before you use it again.

Until they all get shut down, which I dont see really happening at this moment.
[Droid Ultra General] Mustang02:
Why not? Most of us would pay more than $40. It's basic economics, make more money with smaller sales.
[Droid Ultra General] wishthecuttlefish:
Unlocked and Happy!

Finished unlock process. Used seller email provided in earlier posts. Paid $40.00 through PayPal. Reciept of unlock code took approximately 24 hours from moment I clicked send $$ to seller.

After you unlock, expect the device to reboot and take about 3 or 4 minutes to start "New Setup Wizard". It will be completely, 100% wiped of any data you had on the device before. Remember to backup all apps, photos, settings, passwords, contacts etc. etc. This can be done by Google Plus, or copying via USB to a laptop. I recommend you use SMS Backup & Restore to backup SMS and MMS messages.

You won't regret the $40.00 spent. Time is money, as far as I am concerned this is so easy it is well worth the $40.00 to get an unlocked, rooted device.

Thank you to everyone!
