[Moto X Q&A] therealjohnmark:
My wife and I each have an unlocked 2013 Droid Maxx. I decide to get a spare one now since they are currently free with an upgrade. I was able to get a Droid Maxx with 4/18/14 build date from the local Verizon store on Thursday. I sent my $45 via Paypal at 6:10PM CT Thursday and received my code at 8:20AM this morning. Code worked just now. So it took just over 38 hours for me.
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
Code Failed

Anyone else had a code fail? I have a 2014 device and have tried in Mac and Windows and comes up with code failed error. It's a 20 code number and this is the 2nd device I have tried to unlock through him (the first one worked great).

Any ideas??
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Check the email he sent you and confirm that the string before the 20-character code is indeed YOUR imei....post back and let us know
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
Yep, it's the same code. He didn't send the imei with the code in the original email he sent me but he did as we have been talking. He told me to try Windows so I did and ended up with the same result. Anything else?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
How bizarre! This would seem to be the first code failure we have seen. I suggest you try pasting the code into notepad (directly from email), and type fastboot oem unlock in front of it.

Then copy and paste the entire string into command prompt and try again. AFAIK, there hasn't been such a failure yet (other than the guys who pasted the ENTIRE imei + 20char code thinking the whole thing was the unlock code...)
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
Same result. But the only thing I would have thought of it is I sent him the MEID on accident originally, but there's only 1 extra digit at the end and when I told him that, he said it was the same unlock code either way.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
He is correct. IMEI is the same as MEID, except the IMEI has an extra checksum digit.

Have you used any of the write-protect exploits? I don't think it should matter, just curious.
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
Nope I haven't. Just got a new Moto X and it came with 4.4.2 on it so none of that would be possible.

I sent him both IMEI and MEID # He used MEID # to get my code and it worked the 1st time.

Never heard of code failure on 2014 devices until now.

[QUOTE=samwathegreat He is correct. IMEI is the same as MEID, except the IMEI has an extra checksum digit.

Not on my Moto G.

My IMEI and MEID are TOTALLY different. My IMEI is 18 numbers and my MEID totals 14 (10 numbers and 4 letters) and they do not match.

When I got my code he included the MEID number with the code.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Your phone must list the "IMEI Decimal" not the "IMEI Hex" which is listed on most phones. They are the same number (one in hexadecimal, and one in decimal)...check for yourself http://imei.org/how-to-convert-meid-esn/

Just enter the "18 number IMEI" and you will see that it converts to the MEID you are referring to.
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
Wow! You are correct. Thanks for the info.

I'm a total dumbass though...I was in a hurry and forgot to put in my Email Address in the notes. I probably screwed myself and I'll have to dispute the charge. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll contact me through my Paypal Email address...but I won't hold my breath. I want to kink my own ass!!! lol
[Moto X Q&A] nicolaspy:
Just email him separately with your paypal transaction ID and maybe you IMEI again so he can match your payment and IMEI with your email address again.

Keep your english simple and use Google Translate's Simplified Chinese to translate your email message.
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
Dude, don't sweat it! It's cool. :cool: In my excitement I did the same thing same in forgetting to include my email address with the payment. All I did was send him my email address separately with my paypal transaction number and got my unlock code in about 18 hours. The guy is very reliable. He is not a rip-off. Just read this thread and look at all the people who have their phones unlocked now by dealing with this guy.

His correspondence email is sbdnyy@gmail.com

[Moto X Q&A] Kyanil:
That's so bs guys I paid a week ago today and he still hasn't sent me a yes or no as to finding my code. I got in touch and he said he's look if my payment came through and no answer (3 days ago). I forwarded him the proof of purchase by screenshotting my PayPal transaction and he won't answer me now when I ask him to look for my code. 24 hours until I dispute. I don't know if all of you are bs but this guy isn't trustworthy in my eyes.
[Moto X Q&A] Brianp48093:
Nicolaspy and classic757 thank you very much for the tips and his contact Email address. I just emailed him so I'll just chill and see what happens :) sometimes I overcomplicate simple things lol. I'll post back here with whatever happens...
[Moto X Q&A] mushbert:
[MENTION=5787361]Kyanil[/MENTION]: The only way you can really lose out is if you don't dispute it in the allowed timespan (30 days maybe?). Judging by how you feel, you may as well go ahead and do it now - he either has the code already (and will respond to the dispute by providing it), neglected to retrieve/send it somehow (and will respond to the dispute by providing it), or couldn't get it (and will thus refund you).
[Moto X Q&A] :
He didn't have my code and refunded my payment pretty fast.

12/13/13 build. Sent him a payment and he replied back that he didn't have the code. Initiated a dispute and he refunded right away. Pretty painless process. Just wish he had the older build codes.
[Moto X Q&A] crashtheface:
Guys please read his directions.

If you have a 2013 build DO NOT REQUEST A CODE. He won't have one. You are clogging his requests and wasting both his time and your time.

2014 builds are the only builds being unlocked currently, I believe the most recent build unlocked was June 6 2014. If your handset is newer wait a week or twoto make absolutely sure he will have your code in the data base.

Be sure to read this thread closely and his sale page. If you have questions or concerns you can reach him at his posted email. Do not get discouraged if it takes more than 24 hours for him to respond. He will always respond even if you have to wait a few days.

Please refrain from submitting 2013 codes and remember to read threads.
[Moto X Q&A] Brianp48093:
Just heard back from him. Unfortunately, mine can't be unlocked. :( at least he was quick! Bummer for me lol.

Here is his response:

非常抱歉 ！您的moto手机解锁没有成功 ，您需要做的是发起争议，我们将24H内退还该笔交易，期待下次的合作。

Very sorry! Moto unlock your phone without success, you need to do is to initiate the dispute, we will refund the transaction within 24H, looking forward to the next cooperation.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I have gotten codes for (2) 2013 devices since the middleman has re-opened for business. One was 11/2013, and other 12/2013 (Manufacture Date on box)

I don't want to encourage anyone to ask questions and clog up the thread or give any false sense of hope, but he definitely does have some 2013 codes or both my phones would still be locked. If you DO choose to *roll the dice* on a 2013 model, be smart, be patient, and be realistic in that he probably does NOT have your code...

I completely agree that people need to quit overwhelming the middleman with emails and questions. I definitely agree that users need to READ the thread before asking silly questions....these "so what's the procedure to do this", or "what's his email??" posts are getting quite annoying. **READ THE FIRST POST OF THE THREAD! Seriously!**

Its so simple...send the money, with IMEI and email, and WAIT.....after 72 hours or so, THEN maybe you need to follow-up with an email...

Remember - he IS doing us a favor and like everyone else, he has other obligations as well. Patience is a virtue...
[Moto X Q&A] crashtheface:
My folly; perhaps I should rephrase, the chance of getting a 2013 code is a bit better if your device is LATE 2013.

You unlock the bootloader with the same process as the Developer Edition (except for the source of your bootloader unlock code). NOTE: see -> THESE INSTRUCTIONS or basically start the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode then issue the command -> fastboot oem unlock <UNIQUE_KEY> THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE.

Figured I'd post the link to jcase pie root for anyone unable to get a code, or waiting for their newer devices codes to be available in the database; remeber this is a tethered root, meaning the effects will not hold through a reboot or power cycle.
[Moto X Q&A] Vivjen:
It's much simplier now:

Go to towelroot.com->download apk from alpha sign->install->triple tap on red->changing last "0" on "1"->Push make it rain

That's all. Temporary root is received. Then you could download SuperSU+Titanium Backap for freezing all AT&T/Verizon/Motorola bloatware. SuperSU? and Titanium backup might be uninstalled after rebooting. You will loose root, but all bloatware will be frozen

P.S. last version (2.X.X) of SuperSU is not showing root rights received, but you will have root too I think
