[Moto X Q&A] astaccz:
I got my code from the guy. Came in just now. That was a lot quicker than most people on here. Time to try to unlock.

Unlocked perfectly.
[Moto X Q&A] phositadc:
Are the folks who are having success still just PayPaling him directly? $45? I have a droid mini coming tomorrow and the first thing I'm going to do is try to get an unlock code.

Sent from my XT1053
[Moto X Q&A] ezeuba:
Exactly. That was what I did, and thankfully it worked out well. I sent him $45 last saturday and the code came in today. I've sent him another one already, since I'm now certain that it works.
[Moto X Q&A] shadowsgate14:
I'm in the same boat... 2 weeks have gone by and no code, no reply, nothing at all! All i want is to unlock my bootloader. :mad:Guess ill file a complaint with PP.
[Moto X Q&A] RichardCA:
My advice is don't be shy about using the dispute process if you've already waited 2 weeks. That's what happened to me. It seems like if he can't get the code within 48 hours he lets it languish, but if you dispute, get the refund, then try again it's like you're back at the front of the line.
[Moto X Q&A] JamDod:
Worked for me

I sent my request for my Droid Maxx 2014 in yesterday, and received my code today.

It worked, my bootloader is now unlocked.
[Moto X Q&A] phositadc:
Awesome, so going that the experience with my droid mini is that smooth! If only I could get the imei before it gets here tomorrow!

[Moto X Q&A] shadowsgate14:
Thanks :) I've already started the dispute. :) how should I wait until I should try again?
[Moto X Q&A] RichardCA:
Once you initiate the dispute he should respond within the usual 24-48 hrs.

How long you wait after that is your call.
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
Hey I've been trying to get him to refund my payment for about a month now. I can't dispute it since I sent it for goods and services accidentally.
[Moto X Q&A] :
No one has got a refund after they did that...as far as I've seen. Ooops! ?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Goods / Services is the only way you CAN dispute it...

I think he meant that he sent it as "GIFT" - that's the one you can't dispute...

EDIT: [MENTION=4895568]dier325[/MENTION] : see my screenshot. I sent my payments as "goods / services" and I can confirm that they are allowing me to dispute. If I wanted to, I could dispute my payment from May 15 to the middleman.....I'm not GOING to...because I got my code. But yeah. Just go to resolution center. The easiest way to find the payment is to sort by date.

Or can you confirm that you did mean that you sent as "Gift"? < If that is the case, you are out of luck...
[Moto X Q&A] BriCo84:
What build date was yours?

And was it the 16GB or 32GB variant?

My 16GB MAXX from 5/28 was rejected a few weeks ago
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
Yeah, my mistake. I sent it as a gift.
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
So I'm seeing talk lately of 16 Vs 32gig phones. Is one more likely than the other to receive a code from what we've learned? I am on a May 27, 2014 Verizon 32gig device. Just wondering.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Those posts are all in reference to the Maxx.... They stopped producing the 32GB variants in early 2014 - now only 16GB are available. So people WANT the 32GB variants, but they also want to be able to unlock. Hard to satisfy both requirements, given the current nature of the service.

It does not apply to you if you are referring to an "X".
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
Oh good okay. I'm still holding out hope that sometime when I try getting mine unlocked again that he'll finally have my code. I'm waiting a little longer this time around unless I see May people and later getting unlocks finally.

[Moto X Q&A] insanitybit:
Alright... so how does one do this? No instructions on the first page. Are we supposed to follow the ones in the link?
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
Send $45 to the PayPal linked in the OP. Include your IMEI and your build date and email. Wait 12h-3d.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Although it may be cryptic for you to have read, the instructions are INDEED in the OP.

To decipher: he is saying "paypal $45 us dollars TO sbdnyy@163.com and include in the notes your IEMI and email. Expect a reply in 12-48hours.

Those instructions are completely correct, although as of late, he seems to be taking longer than the 48 hours to respond....-sometimes-

Good Luck :good:
[Moto X Q&A] :
And if he doesn't have your code.... You file a dispute and get refunded .

[Moto X Q&A] lboe2:
I've been a long-time lurker here, but finally felt the need to register to share this thought: to those that cannot figure out how to request a code after reading the thread, and those that do not know how to find your IMEI, you are probably better off NOT rooting your phone. No offense intended.
[Moto X Q&A] :
It says a lot about a person to lurk for so long and just join to put someone down.
[Moto X Q&A] the3dolla:
I agree.. with the NOT unlocking to root if you cannot figure it out. It's called the truth, but in today's world the truth is just "not nice" and should be avoided because someones feelings may get hurted.

On another note, I keep coming back hoping to get an August 2013 device unlocked but am always disappointed. Then again hopefully the Maxx 2 comes out soon, so I can just get that unlocked. (if it gets a developer edition)
[Moto X Q&A] lboe2:
I'm not putting anyone down. I am merely suggesting that unlocking your bootloader and rooting your phone isn't something to take lightly and isn't a good idea for everyone.
[Moto X Q&A] raybes:
Is it even worth attempting with a July 2014 build date, yet?

Has there been even a single success so far on such a new build?

I had a 2013 build and figured there was too small of a chance so I didn't bother and got a replacement phone. The build date shows it is brand new so now I feel like my chances are even worse.

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Search the thread, bud.
[Moto X Q&A] shadowsgate14:
Well I got a refund but his saying i never sent him my IMEI! I sent 5 emails an 3 skype IMs with my IMEI... SMH... So I'm guessing you are SUPPOSED to send your IMEI as a note in Paypal but I dont remember seeing the option for that.... :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] :
Yup. It says that in the op.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Anytime you send a payment with PayPal there is a spot to put notes. You are SUPPOSED to put IMEI and your email inside. But yeah, you would think he would figure it out after the emails, OR simply email you at your paypal address (that he received the payment from) and just ask "what's your IMEI?!?!"

He doesn't seem to be very thorough....although in his defense, he is probably swamped with requests, still.

Got my 2nd code today

I just got my 2nd RW MOTO X unlocked. Chinaman sent the code this afternoon and it worked, just like the 1st one. This guy is awesome... It usually takes 2 to 3 days for the code to be sent, at least from the times I got mine. 1st one took 3 days, this one 2 days. I'm one happy customer, and our Chinaman is one happy businessman... Going to post on the code form now.
[Moto X Q&A] insanitybit:
No offense taken. I'm currently working as a software developer at a computer security company and I know quite a lot about what rooting a phone entails. I do not, however, know or care about how phones work - mobile security is not my job nor is it my interest.

Before I send 45 dollars to some dude in China, you can bet that I'll be checking that I'm doing it right.
[Moto X Q&A] BriCo84:

Is there a good chance that whatever this guy is doing it illegal in some countries?
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
You tell me. Why would it be illegal?

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] insanitybit:
Obviously it's illegal. How do you imagine he's getting these keys? He or someone he knows works for either a factory or some other place where they have access. Them taking these keys is almost certainly against a legally binding contract.

Purchasing it, however, is probably not illegal. Plus it's all in another country. Plus who cares?
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
i'm super tempted to buy a 64GB Moto X so that I have one on backup, JUST so I can unlock it.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Corporate espionage, theft of intellectual property...breech of contract?

I almost guarantee what HE (or whomever is supplying these codes) is doing is illegal. What WE are doing however, I see no possible way it can be construed as illegal. Just my opinions and everyone is welcome to their own ;)
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
unlocking our devices isn't illegal, the method for obtaining the means to do so could be construed as such. however, this was covered extensively in the original thread. it would cost moto more resources to go after each of us, than it would to figure out some way of re-locking and re-encrypting the bootloaders through an app update or otherwise. there's no reason they couldn't change the algorithm and flip the switch in a security update. the only problem with this technique is it would lock out the legitimate people too.

the only thing anyone in these threads/employing these methods should worry about is what happens to your IMEI and is your CC info safe.
[Moto X Q&A] ezeuba:
I don't think anyone here is using a credit card to buy these codes. All payments so far have been through PayPal, at least for the two I paid for, and from the instructions in the OP. What happens with the IMEIs submitted is another thing, best not to worry over because it's done already.
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
If one is not comfortable using this method to unlock their device, I'm sure there are plenty of other forums that would better suit your needs. No need to create dissension as most aren't interested if you disagree with what we appreciate or not. You're not changing anybody's mind. Move on.

As for the guy who successfully unlocked a May device, what was the day of the month for your Moto X? May 27th here.

[Moto X Q&A] scorpionawz:
Hello All,

I found this thread when I finally decided to root my phone. I have a Droid Maxx June 2014 build date, Oct. 2013 Assembly Date. Second page of the thread stated that 2013 unlock codes were unavailable now if I understood correctly? I did a quick search within the thread, it is hard to follow whether that was confirmed or not but I believe it was. Does the unlock codes pertain to the build date or assembly date? I am assuming assembly since the IMEI will not change...? Is it worth the attempt for the unlocking code or am I SOL at this point? I would prefer to gain root access with an unlocked bootloader...

Thank you for your response,

-AWZ
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Some will tell you absolutely not (for your 2013 device). My advice: Try it! Roll the Dice! Just PayPal the money as instructed in the OP, and if he doesn't have your code - you get refunded. No harm done. Just make ABSOLUTELY SURE you send the payment as goods/services and NOT "gift". If you "gift" the money, you will NOT GET REFUNDED if he doesn't have your code. Also, as instructed, include your IMEI and your email address in the "notes" of the paypal payment.

Good Luck :good:

Very True, I won't know for sure until I try. Thank you for the advice & Response. :fingers-crossed:

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Bootloader unlock is irrelevant to the Android version. If you get a (working) code, you are golden. It's the exploits that won't work once on 4.4.4 -- bootloader unlock works no matter which version you are on. ;)

Either he has the code or not for a given IMEI. What's year have to do with it? Are you saying then the IMEI I gave him was for a 2014 phone (that was made in 2013) or I just got a BS unlock code?
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
Sorry I thought I read 19 and so did a guy a couple posts back. The thread says that assembly date has to be 2014 and not to recent. If you bought your phone in Dec it couldn't be 2014. I don't think anyone has got a code for a 2013 phone.

It said there was a slight chance. I'm just repeating stuff I have read in the thread so take it as you will.

Sorry my bad you are correct it is 20 numbers.

Droid Maxx 4.4.4 worth unlocking now or wait for root?

Droid Maxx stock OTA to 4.4.4, June 12 2014 date on box. Is it worth it to try and unlock now and hope for chance of root later? Is root required for CM11 install if unlocked and TWRPed? Have read through many long threads and pardon if I have missed the answers. Thank you all.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
Go into settings/about phone/status scroll to bottom look at assembly date 2014 April and later you got a good chance. If you can unlock your phone twrp and root are easy to do.
[Moto X Q&A] Moe Hailstone:
Guess I'll go for it, build date is the 18th of June. Any thoughts on CM11? I have read there may be a problem with soft buttons perhaps? Pc is able to connect with Minimal ADB and Fastboot so I suppose it is ready. Thank you !!

[Moto X Q&A] Slick52:
I know it's a big unknown, but what are the chances these guys will have unlock codes for the X+1? My parents are about to renew, but they will need 1 unlocked hotspot for an unlimited plan. With Aug 20th supposedly being the release date, 2weeks away, should they wait for the +1?

Sent from my XT1060
[Moto X Q&A] Slick52:
"My advice is something I got flamed in this thread for in the past.. but since you asked... Since you'll have to pay full price anyway (to keep unlimited data) Consider getting a Dev Edition X for Verizon while they are still on sale for $324.99. Its definately cheaper than buying a full price X+1 when they come out, and you can certainly unlock the bootloader without voiding the warranty.[/QUOTE]"

Actually, I can get a new subsidized MotoX without losing Unlimited. I did it with mine, and I think it will still work for them. It involves gifting the upgrade to someone else on the account without an unlimited plan, then just transfer that new phone over to the unlimited line. Works like a charm. So when I unlocked my moto, I basically got a Dev Ed phone for free, minus the warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
I think he was speaking in general terms. Not everyone has multiple lines on their account to afford them the ability to transfer upgrades, nor do some people wish to pay the additional cost.

add'l $9/mo x 24 (standard upgrade) = $216. you've incurred a subsidy on your line, on top of the "subsidy" you're already paying for. technically it's "cheaper" to just buy the phone outright. plus he has a point, there are a lot of unknowns about this method (data tracking, moto's abilities, etc). buying a DEV Edition is safer, and sends a message to carriers/manufs that you WON'T be buying their locked devices.

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
He is well aware that he has to pay fees on the amount received. This is normal with all sellers and all eBay purchases too. You need not worry...

I don't see any fees when I'm sending money as NOT gift (goods or services). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The -seller- has fees taken out. The only time no fees are taken out is if the money is sent as "gift" to "friends / family". You may not see the fees - but the seller does.

See the screenshot - this is for an eBay item I recently sold. This is the only way PayPal can make money - they take a percentage of the seller's money.

Additionally, you NEVER want to buy this service as "gift" - if you do, you won't get refunded if he doesn't have your code.
