personally, I'm running 4.4.2. I haven't noticed any issues.
[Moto X General] Sharkeyd:
I am rooted on 4.4 using the original slapmymoto that you have to boot into a "fake" recovery to apply write protected changes. Will I have to wipe down to stock before unlocking and flashing twrp, or will flashing twrp overwrite the fake recovery jcase originally implemented? Thanks for any input in advance.
[Moto X General] gbrewman:
So my wait begins before I get my unlock code. Here's to hoping for a quick turnaround.

I have the XT1058 by the way so ATT thanks for letting take this route rather than making it easy.
[Moto X General] jong31:
Code worked here! Kudos to middle-man
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
To unlock the bootloader after you get the code, you wont have to un-do anything. And again, unlocking the bootloader disables write protection.

To flash TWRP you can just fastboot flash recovery twrp.img but if you are already rooted, TWRP isn't needed, unless you want the added features of the custom recovery, like nandroid backups and stuff. you could just as easily flash stock recovery back on there.

As I've said before, using the unlock code does a factory reset and erases your data anyway, so why not take the extra few minutes and use RSDlite to flash back to 100% and remove any trace of SlapyMyMOto and the like in the process? Then flash TWRP and root.
[Moto X General] Sharkeyd:

Unlock-Root-Tether-Unroot-Relock

While probably not a unique situation, I do have an unusual issue. For work, I have a BYOD Droid Maxx 4.4 (not a developer edition) that has Citrix Worx installed (equivalent to GOOD) which prevents me from getting company email if I have root, and I suspect if unlocked. While work pays for my unlimited data plan, they will not pay the $30 monthly fee to use the tether. I called Verizon and they will not allow me to pay the $30 on a separate bill, or I would gladly do so. So that's my situation.

I purchased an unlock code from the ebay middle person and received two days ago. What I want to do is unlock the bootloader, then root it, do the entitlement check hack to get the tether working, then unroot and relock - while keeping the entitlement hack. All of the research I've done over the past few days indicate that I can relock, but that I would have to reflash stock. If I have to do that, then I basically lose my entitlement hack. So two questions: Does anyone know if the GOOD's and Citrix Worx's block access to corporate email if unlocked? And if so, is there any way to do the relock piece without having to reflash stock?

Thanks for any help on this.
[Moto X General] makbomb:

[Moto X General] GandalfTehGray:
Give this a try perhaps?

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
[Moto X General] benjamin1492:
I toyed with that as an option, but I'm not sure it would cloak having the bootloader unlocked. I may give it a go tomorrow and see what happens. The worst thing is that I would have to relock and flash stock.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
only talk about relocking in this thread has been about the command being fastboot oem lock. And that it sets the boot loader back to relocked state and not locked.

There is nothing saying you need to reflash to stock after relocking. Now, relocking might factory reset the phone, wiping data, but that would be it.

As far as Good and Citrix, I don't think they can detect boot loader state, but ability to use when rooted is controlled by your IT department's configurations.

EDIT: If the phone wipes when re-locking, I don't know if it will retain any changes you've made to files in /system. I believe it will (be retained).

Also, for tethering on 4.4.2, there was a thread about replacing the framework-res.apk rather than the entitlement APK like was done on 4.4 and 4.2.2. I just use wifi tether for root, rather than messing with the system APK's that I'd have to worry about changing back if I ever want to take an OTA down the road...
[Moto X General] benjamin1492:
Thanks, KidJoe. I'll give it a try and report back what happens. It might help the other 8-10 people in my situation.

[Moto X General] benjamin1492:
UPDATE 3/29/14: OK, I've figured out a lot of things since last week. This post is to help the 8-10 people in a similar situation as I am: I have a Verizon Droid Maxx that I purchased. My employer pays for my unlimited data plan. To get corporate email, I had to install Citrix Worx for Home (similar to GFE - Good for Enterprise).

First, I initially thought Citrix Worx for Home detected both root and an unlocked bootloader. That is not the case. It ONLY detects root. So, I was able to use the Chinese provided unlock code, root my phone, use the tethering hack KidJoe referenced (entitlement check hack no longer works), then remove all evidence of root using Permanent Unroot in SuperSU settings.

But Citrix Worx for Home still didn't allow me to access my corporate email due to "corporate security policy violation", which is why I thought it was detecting the unlocked bootloader. But it turns out that when I had to to re-install the Citrix Worx app (due to the wipe required to unlock bootloader), the IT department had to re-add me to the zendesk mail server as well. That was a 5 minute helpdesk call, and I was all set.

So now I am able to get corporate email, and I have regained the tethering capability I lost with the 4.4 update. If anyone from Verizon is reading this: I don't care about unlocked bootloaders, rooting, installing custom ROM's. I just need the tethering occasionally. If you take all the time I've spent over the last 3-4 years using complicated root exploits, only to lose them in an update and have to redo, it's easily worth the $30/month. Since I mostly use the functionality for personal reasons, I'm not going to ask my employer to pay for it. I called Verizon and tried to have them bill me separately for the tethering, but they were unable (unwilling?) to do so.
[Moto X General] ruet:
Another successful unlock here... Sent e-mail directly to the code provider requesting PayPal info. Received a reply about an hour later and completed the transaction. Received my unlock string about 12 hours after that. Unlock, TWRP install and root went without issue.

Anyway got the code with paypal and unlock worked perfectly. So glad I have my phone back now to delete safestrap. Use the phone like a normal phone without a locked bootloader. I have a republic wireless moto-x. All of republic wireless phones have locked bootloader. Whatever.

Glad we got a hack hope this guy makes a lot of money. This will encourage more hacks in the future.

[Moto X General] dsass600:

[Moto X General] KidJoe:

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Stated many times already, unlocking via the code like this is the same as factory unlock from moto on developer edition and others they do give code out for.

Once unlocked you use same processes and procedures as if you have a dev edition with unlocked boot loader.

When it comes to the XT1060 and XT1060Dev, I.e. Verizon moto x.... The retail, moto maker and dev edition use the exact same rom and SBF file. (So Same recovery.img, same system.img, etc)
[Moto X General] trainplane3:
Wasn't sure where to ask this, but here it goes. I have both a VZW Moto X and Droid Maxx. I want to unlock my Droid Maxx. Are the Moto X ROMs compatible with a Droid Maxx? I would almost think so since they're so close, but I'm not 100% sure.

Another working code.

[Moto X General] :
What are you hoping to find out?
[Moto X General] theascended:
The algorithm used to generate the keys.

The keys people are using are some sort of predictable cryptographic key. Given the IMEI number, we can get a key, that means one of two things:

1.) The phone is preprogramed with a specific unlock key or information specific to the phone to generate/accept an unlock key and that information is stored in a Motorola database by IMEI

2.) The key can be uniquely generated using the IMEI (and probably some unique information about the model of the phone)

A logical analysis really suggests the second possibility is more likely. Databases that could store this sort of thing are highly sensitive and highly protected. Also, given that this method is on going, one would have to assume that Motorola is aware and would have completely locked down their database if one existed. No only that, but they also would have started logging access to the database to track down the user giving out keys. Again, since this process is on going, it seems very unlikely anyone would risk such a thing for very long, especially after news of it hits tech sites/blogs.

Going with the assumption that the second possibility is the more likely, its really just a computation problem. Given an IMEI and a resulting unlock code all you have to determine are the possible methods of manipulating the IMEI to get the unlock code. In terms of number theory, that's a really f'in big problem. If you have multiple pairs of inputs and outputs it becomes easier to find matching algorithms and brute force the problem. This is one of the most common vectors of attacking cryptography. Once you know the input data and resulting output data, its merely a matter of time of determining the manipulation even absent any meaningful information of the algorithm used.
[Moto X General] :
Even if its a key generated unlock code, which personally I doubt.....I can't see anyone cracking the code. Highly unlikely.

But I do think the codes are predetermined for the specific phone. And this China seller got his hands on the database. And when they get caught or scared off....it will end.

Just my opinion. ;)

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
[Moto X General] super65man:
I highly doubt you possess the ability to do that :rolleyes: but if you do that I will personally send you the 40 dollars that the chinese man would get.
[Moto X General] :
I know how cryptography works :)

I was asking him because he asked one person to PM him. A single unlock code isn't even a start, and even if everyone here posted their unlock codes, a 20 character alpha numeric code is not going to be reasonable or practical to crack. Motorola wouldn't even offer the codes if it were otherwise - they'd force the unlock to be delivered in software somehow in order to ensure the codes weren't exposed.

The theory is great. It's just not practical.

In this case, I actually suspect that it was a database that was leaked. Companies are pretty tight with things like signing keys and the code used to generate unlock codes/serial numbers/etc. It's plenty feasible that, instead of making that code accessible, they've simply pre-calculated the unlock codes and dumped it into a database, where the people in charge of providing them to customers can look them up. When you retrieve the get_unlock_data from the phone, it's not the IMEI number that is returned. It may indeed be that the IMEI is not tied, or only partially tied, to the unlock code. They get the added bonus of the current database being the maximum amount of damage that can be done, whereas the tool being leaked can provide unlocks forever. That's all speculation, of course.
[Moto X General] GandalfTehGray:
I'd say we may have 100 tops from this method, but also the normal dev editions as well if someone wanted to actually do it.

And hey haven't seen you since Droid X days at AF I believe :P
[Moto X General] :
On the other hand, if they are getting them from inside Motorola, or they have gained access to the code to generate the keys, the risk is significant.

If a community guy manages to exploit the bootloader and unlock phones, about the worst Motorola can do is issue a cease and desist notice to stop them from personally publishing the exploit, at which point others pick it up and it's basically impossible to stop.

If someone inside Moto is generating and issuing keys, they're risking their employment, possibly their career, any references or relationships that they may have forged, etc. and depending on how vindictive Motorola wants to be, they could be risking civil or criminal charges. Frankly, if I were putting all of that on the line, $40 apiece probably wouldn't be enough.

It's unlikely that a temp or someone with a similarly low-level job has access to these tools directly... so think about it - if your career is on the line, maybe $50-100k yearly salary, getting prosecuted if you were found out, would even 10-20x the typical bounty be enough?
[Moto X General] 640k:
not arguing your logic, but we're talking china here. the place that regularly takes ideas from people looking for a distributor and sells them to someone else, only so they can make a greater profit off of work they didn't have to do. however these codes are being obtained, the risk doesn't appear to be a factor.
[Moto X General] therealjohnmark:
Yes, that is what I am hoping. I think Alipay has just frozen his account for now. I was reading in the other forum that the ebay middleman, Silk, had one of her paypal accounts frozen for sometime also.
[Moto X General] :
All we know is the codes are being distributed through this guy in China. No telling who or where the codes are generated, and in any event, I know you're not suggesting that there couldn't possibly be someone in China who values his or her career, right? Nor are you suggesting that every citizen of the entire country is morally bankrupt and so the codes couldn't possibly be obtained elsewhere and distributed far away from home so as to lessen the risk to the person involved? ;)

Just sayin'. We have no idea where this is coming from. Someone is either doing business on the side or has stolen company code - it's definitely a risk.
