Just use sunshine.apk

ok, the chinese middleman is gone,

now heres an easier solution,

download fom these guys

http://theroot.ninja/

dont be put off by the weird looking web page, once you download the apk, and install it, you can unlock the bootloader on any moto x, INCLUDING XT1049

It costs $25USD, pay via paypal, doesnt charge if it doesnt work.

NOTE, use the SPCTools.apk to gain your Diag Code (very important)

Otherwise to GSM unlock use the guide on this page.

[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Why do you say he doesn't exist? He's been replying, just not as reliable with giving working codes lately.

Yes Sunshine is easy, but it didn't exist until recently. Unfortunately it rarely, if ever, works if your phone has already been updated to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Its being discussed here -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/request-help-exploit-moto-x-bl-t2828471

Also, that GSM Unlock guide you link to, is for Sprint XT1056 phones (and the Republic Wireless XT1049 which has been flashed with the Sprint SBF/ROM), I don't believe it works for any other, and it too didn't exist when this thread was active.
[Moto X Q&A] alstair:
you do realize that sunshine won't work if you don't have root and you can't even get temp root for 4.4.4 through any means right now.

From the sunshine site:

I have tried sunshine and it didn't work for me, so the middleman was my last option.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
U do know this doesn't work on 4.4.4?
[Moto X Q&A] duchski:
Yes he does but he is a spammer so he doesn't care.

Don't feed the trolls ...
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
No Code

I requested a code and sent payment. Going on 60+ hours with no code. I have sent multiple emails with no response. I filed a dispute with Paypal today.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
His respond times are all over the road took me good 72 he's to get it. From what I have read most guys got refunds if he couldn't get it.
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
OK - thank you.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
So is the China man in business still or not? I have a droid ultra xt1080 i would love to bootloader unlock
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
He is supposed to be in business still. It has been about 60 hours and no code for me. But, It appears I am not being patient enough. It seems

his response time varies greatly. I am going to give him a little while longer.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
Thanks for the quick reply. Let me know if it works for you id love to get my device working on t mobile and this seems to be the only way
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
I know. Me too. I have Verizon they are just as bad with locking everything down. I will let you know.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
Does anyone know how many digits the unlock code is?
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
20
[Moto X Q&A] MilitaryNerd:
unreliable

I've sent several messages and I've been waiting since the end of June. What's the deal?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
End of June??? Longest I'd seen was about a week to ten days.

If you've not heard in over that, I'd try reaching him via email and skype. If no response, do a dispute via PayPay.
[Moto X Q&A] terinfire:
Just requested an unlock code as well -- I think my build is either from 8-21-2014 (says in Bootloader \ Barcodes) and it shows 1-14-2014 on the box. Got one on eBay and trying to use it on T-Mobile, and ideally their firmware if I can unlock the bootloader and flash over 4.4.4 (currently running 4.4.4 for AT&T - ugh).
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
Could someone inbox me his Skype/e mail so i can be sure i have the right info?
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
My build date (Barcodes in fastboot) says 10/21/2014. Should I try this? I remember seeing somewhere in this thread he can only unlock phones built upto June 14.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
You must be looking at something wrong that's only 3 days ago impossible.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
Sadly, it's true! I got this phone this morning and Motorola ordered it on 10/20 as an Advanced Exchange for faulty camera .
[Moto X Q&A] krsmit0:
success. sent via paypal with just imei. republic wireless phone purchased in december.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Thanks for confirming Republic Wireless X's are being unlocked, just took the plunge now. Hopefully it works out for me.

[Moto X Q&A] EthanExplosion:
Too bad its mainly republic wireless and 2014 models. How will we know when he has different codes?
[Moto X Q&A] exxman:
Confirming RW (Dec 2013) is unlocked. Maybe it helps someone )
[Moto X Q&A] synchrite:
success

For my Moto X made in Feb 2014, sent payment at 4:20am pacific, received code at 7:10am (on 5/16). Timed it perfectly I guess. Worked great! :good:
[Moto X Q&A] ejlmd:
My phone was built early Nov 2013, got the unlock code after 10-11 hours.
[Moto X Q&A] PwnCakes193:
So it's confirmed that he has databases, I would love to know for how much longer. I'm about to do a warranty rma... Would love to get this up and running
[Moto X Q&A] avettraino:
No luck

12/20/13 build on Verizon, no luck with getting code. Refund pending.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
No way of knowing for how long. It could stop without notice again at any time.

That is the bad part of having to rely on this type of 3rd party solution for a boot loader unlock code, besides having to pay for a unique code for each/every phone. If it was a phone where moto's web site gave out the codes for it, you'd know it never goes away, and it would be free. Its just one more reason Dev Edition is suggested for Verizon and ATT users.
[Moto X Q&A] lioryte:
Xt1080 vz 2013... Refund pending
[Moto X Q&A] tonix435:
Less than 12 hours to respond "Your IMEI not found"...filed dispute and received my refund within 3 minutes...
[Moto X Q&A] lordlittlebrooks:
No luck Moto X 1058 2013

Took about 24 hours total. Received a mass email with what I assume were fellow XDA'ers telling me that my IMEI was not found. Bummer.
[Moto X Q&A] yotamaster:
Recieved unlock code for my 4/6/14 Verizon Moto X within 12 hours.

Going to unlock now to verify it works.

I know unlocking will void my warranty, but if something were to happen to my phone, would locking my device allow me to get warranty work done?
[Moto X Q&A] krsmit0:
Saw somewhere. Your phone identifies as locked unlocked or relocked. Once unlocked, it can never return to unlocked. It can only be relocked. So other then a full break with no power on, it can likely be identified.
[Moto X Q&A] :
When you relock, it shows a different code in boot loader. So they still know it was unlocked.

Whether or not they'll fix it free is a crap shoot. ;)
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
krsmit0 is correct. Initially your bootloader says "LOCKED"

When you unlock it it (obviously) says "UNLOCKED"

but when you lock it back with "fastboot oem lock"

It won't say "LOCKED".....instead it will say "RELOCKED"

Red Flag.....no way to get back to just LOCKED

-samwathegreat
[Moto X Q&A] rmjones2006:
Do you have to re-enter the code to re-unlock the bootloader once you initially unlock it?

Sent from my XT1080M "Developer Edition"
[Moto X Q&A] shane1:
If your worried about warranty issues buy developer editions instead of stolen codes
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
Interesting do you have 5.2 screen? That would make sense then it would have to be a new phone. Even if it were 4 days is pretty quick turn around. Your sure you followed instructions on how to get assembled date not build date. Build date is kernel.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
10/21 is what date shows up at the bottom of Barcodes menu when in fastboot mode, how do find the Build date?

However, in fastboot on 2nd line (next to 30.B7) the date is 2014-06-23, is that the correct build date?
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
6/23 sounds like kernel build date you are looking for assembled date maybe that's it hard to believe but stranger things have happened.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
So, should I try sending him an email? Based on Post #2 , 10/21/2014 is my assembled date.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
Its your call I dont think you would have much chance but then I didnt think there could be an assembled date that recent. I believe almost everyone got there refund if it didnt work either from him or if all else faoled Ebay most of which came from him. Just sending him a email will do no good he wants money lol.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
Just sent him $45, let's see. Does he "work" on weekends?
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
He is Chinese it depends on howmany $45 he could get lol. I think I got mine on Sunday so yeah I think he does. Unless its Chinese New Years or something ha ha.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
Any luck getting your code yet? Also what e-mail are you guys sending the money too? Id just like to hear from someone recent whos gotten a code before i send off money.
[Moto X Q&A] yaboijuvie:
Hi im new to these forums just thought id put my 2 cents in i have a droid ultra un rooted locked BL build date 12/11/13 just sent chinaman 45 will post if i get a code and if it it works :)
[Moto X Q&A] pauljohnson75:
Sent for code yesterday Verizon moto x buil June 10 2014 will let you guys know if I get a code.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
From Post #2 of this thread...

So 10/21 would be your build date, since that is the one on the Bar Code screen.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Post #1 has the email address.

Post #2 has the email address an more specific instructions...

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

Its always worth a try as we've seen exceptions.

As long as you DO NOT SEND as "Gift" you can always file a dispute via PayPal to get your money back if you get no response, or if you get an improper code. The seller has been really good about refunding when no code is found.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Last I looked, 60hrs is only like 2.5 days.

From Post #2 of this thread (bold added to the quote just for this reply)...

a week would be ~7 days or 168 hrs.

Now, since time more time has elapsed since the you originally typed that, if its been at least a full week and you haven't heard and haven't received a refund (don't forget to check your spam folder), use the email address in Post #2 to try and contact the seller, or you can try to file dispute via PayPal.
[Moto X Q&A] mattchu123:
For what it's worth, I payed him on the 20th, and I haven't received a code yet. I emailed him on the 24th, and he hasn't responded to my email. I'll give it til Tuesday and if I don't hear anything I will dispute.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
I also sent him the payment on 24th, if I don't hear from him by tomorrow morning, I am going to contact paypal to dispute.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Looking back over the last few pages, it kind of seems he's vanished again, like last time. Anyone had any word from him at all? A code or a sorry don't have it email... Anything?

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Maybe he's on holidays. ?
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
I sent him at least six emails with no response. Finally I had to file a dispute

with Paypal to get my money back. He issued a refund with no communication

no explanation no nothing. So I don't know what is up with him.
[Moto X Q&A] jacob019:
ouch. Seems like a sweet business for him, I wonder why he would abandon it. I've always wondered about these unlock codes... is he in possesion of a private encryption key stolen from the moto factory perhaps?
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
Either that or he has someone from Motorola helping him.

I don't know why he would mess up his reputation by just not answering

and then make you force a refund.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Personally, I think some heat or something, suspicion, gets on him or an associate... And they lay low for a bit. Seems that's how it went when he first was open for business, then shut down abruptly.
[Moto X Q&A] scoobaspeaz:
When he returned after the last time he disappeared he only had keys for Moto X's made during a certain time period. What you guys are enjoying now.

I am hoping this time he is taking a break and will return with Moto X 2nd gen unlock keys personally.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
How long was he gone for the last time he took a sabbatical?
[Moto X Q&A] un1ocked:
any discount for 3 devices? 2 droid ultra and 1 moto-x (RW)
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
lol
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
About a month or month and a half.

But when he came back he had less codes, and wasn't as reliable
[Moto X Q&A] scoobaspeaz:
I can't remember. I think it was a month almost.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
Thank you. Also can you confirm that the unlock codes are 20 numerical digits long? I know it's a shot in the dark but im trying to brute force mine for fun....nothing else i can do with the device in its current state lol.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
No, Codes are 20 characters alpha-numeric.
[Moto X Q&A] :
It would take you 60 years to maybe break the code. Lol

Also, there's been speculation in the past that there could be a sort of "max attempts" security issue. I'd be careful. ?
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I used this guy to unlock my Moto X 2013. I want a Droid Turbo, but only if it can be unlocked... hoping he comes back with codes for the Turbo.
[Moto X Q&A] Dadud:
Any updates on his status?
[Moto X Q&A] pjd2011:
I emailed him on the 29th about the Droid Turbo. Haven't gotten a reply since.

I used him to root my Verizon Moto G back in June and it was a very quick and painless process. Bummed he's on a leave for the time being.
[Moto X Q&A] Dadud:
I had him unlock my xt1028 as well, and now I have an xt1058 I'd like to get done too. Here's to hoping he/she pops back up soon.
[Moto X Q&A] dschill:
Talked to him today

Well the china man added me back on skype today. And sadly said that he can no longer get the codes and refunded my 45$ via paypal.

Heres a little bit of the skype transcipt

[12:08:22 PM] live:dschillinrecovery: k i just got the refund

[12:08:25 PM] live:dschillinrecovery: so you cant get the code any more?

[12:12:41 PM] VIP-UNLOCK: No time to deal with the accident, we default to a refund

[12:13:08 PM] VIP-UNLOCK: Sorry, goodbye

[12:13:32 PM] live:dschillinrecovery: Its alright. Thanks for the refund though. Let me know if you can ever get the codes again

Guess the best we can do for now is to wait for jcase and sunshine to release the 3.0 version.
[Moto X Q&A] diesteldorf:
As much as I love the Droid Turbo, my Verizon Moto X Dev Edition is more functional because the bootloader is easily unlocked.

If the Turbo is unable to be unlocked, my next wireless phone will be the Moto Nexus 6
[Moto X Q&A] pauljohnson75:
I just sent him an email asking for a refund if he cannot get my code. I had sent him a payment on Oct 25 I'll let you guys know what I hear back.
[Moto X Q&A] :
There's no need to email him guys.... Just file dispute on PayPal. That's how it's normally done. ?
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
Once I filed my dispute he refunded like the next day.
[Moto X Q&A] Einheit-101:
I found this on taobao...

http://www.taobao.com/product/moto-xt1080-unlock-code.html

Could anyone look at this?

Unfortunately I can not try it because register does not work (captcha system bug), I wanted to buy a code. Droid Maxx without root is a pain for me.
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
No one has been able to successfully get a code recently. He has been refunding. See post #1812. This is the same guy.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
Wow if that was true about Droid Turbo I would be on my way too the store the store right now lol. I'd take a chance on them fixing all the problems. I figure theres

about a snow ball chance in hell haha
[Moto X Q&A] seabass950:
It's the same guy. Same email.
[Moto X Q&A] Einheit-101:
Can i just mail him to get a code or do i have to use taobao which doesnt work?
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
It's the same guy either way, and he is no longer providing codes. So don't do either.
[Moto X Q&A] Einheit-101:
Ok i know this has been said but I wanted to give it a try, but now I won't. Just strange why he did not delete his offer on taobao....

Sent from my forever-stock-unrooted Droid Maxx :/
[Moto X Q&A] pauljohnson75:
I filed a dispute with PayPal Saturday still have not been refunded.
[Moto X Q&A] pjd2011:
I'm sure I sound off for a lot of people but I sure hope he comes back at some point. Seems like he's going to be the only option for unlocking any Moto Bootloaders moving forward.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
Why? Has jcase announced he definitely won't be updating sunshine? I haven't seen that yet.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
Sunshine is and always has been (his words, not mine) focused on HTC devices. They are not developing Sunshine 3.0 for Moto devices.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
Then why would he specifically say on their website...

Verizon users on 4.4.4 you will have to wait for the 3.0 release.

That's directly from the sunshine page. Is that only for HTC? Because the wording sounds like maybe moto.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I know what it says, I've read it and been just as confused as you. But his replies in the Droid Turbo root/bootloader bounty thread say otherwise.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
:( disappointing. Guess I should've jumped on the China route a while ago. I'd rather have given him my money for the 3 phones than the China guy, so I waited.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Pretty sure that statement was for Verizon M8 owners.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
how about this -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56383217

and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56406239&postcount=1464

Both are posts from JCase saying Ver 3 of Sunshine won't support Moto
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
Very disappointing. Guess the next time the China guy surfaces, I'll jump on it.

Thanks for the links.
[Moto X Q&A] pauljohnson75:
Well PayPal not the China middleman just refunded me he did not respond at all to the dispute I filed on the 12. Or any of the e-mail I sent him before that. I think he may be gone for good but I have a Nexus 6 now so I'm good.
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
I wish he would surface again for the 2014 Moto X, too. I think once Lenovo took over, they tightened up security for the code database.
[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
Now that Motorola is owned by Lenovo ( a Chinese company), shouldn't we have an American middleman giving us codes? You would think Lenovo won't let this info get leaked to a Chinese guy:D
[Moto X Q&A] MarcquisDale:
Lol the irony
[Moto X Q&A] hiroprotagonist:
So, is it definitive that China middleman is no longer in the building? I really need to get a code off him as i have a soft bricked moto x that would benefit greatly from a bootloader unlock
[Moto X Q&A] :
In the past after he vanished, I'm pretty sure he emailed some of the last people to try, that he was back in business. But no reports of contact yet. ?
[Moto X Q&A] joeynshelby:
Yes. He is refunding money with no explanation. Others have had to file disputes with Paypal to get their money back.
[Moto X Q&A] sharpeink:
And the verdict is???

So whats the deal???
[Moto X Q&A] :
You quoted an 8 month old post. ?

Middleman is no where to be found.

is he (or someone similar) back?

I am unable to register because I live in the US, but it appears the listing is for the 1st gen moto x not the 2nd gen. :(
[Moto X Q&A] :
My feeling is that that is old. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'd suspect if the same guy starts up again, he'll email the last few he said no to, so they spread the word that's he's back.

But yeah, no idea about that link. ?
[Moto X Q&A] Skeetch79:
I hear you. I was trying to look to see whether it is a new post or old post. I don't see any date information.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I used Chrome to translate the page, which wasn't great, but there are two comments on the posting from August and September, so it's pretty old.
[Moto X Q&A] Skeetch79:

[Moto X Q&A] :
If you are on 4.4.3 or lower, Sunshine should work to unlock your bootloader. 4.4.4 you can try, but it doesn't seem to work.

Google "Sunshine moto x" ?
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
Wow I didn't know that mine is unlocked I thought it was a slam dunk with Nexus 7 like the Nexus 6.
[Moto X Q&A] :
I'm assuming the Nexus 7 isn't the issue, but he needs to Root his Moto X to tether the N7 to it. ?

Oh, and sorry... There are ways to possibly root if the member is 4.4.3 or under, without unlocking bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:

[Moto X Q&A] Space_Ghost716:
heartbreaking

I'd be happy to pay was there any info as to if it would resume ? ( I know its unlikely but a guy can dream right ?) I switched over from a Samsung that Ihad my ttethering all set up on but the screen was broke I had a co worker with the maxx and knew they babied it I offered to buy it a while back when it was 4.2 I think ... They just got a new phone and agreed to sell not knowing that i wanted it for what it was. They did all the ota updates and from my understanding I cannot downgrade either... Now that its 4.4.4. I'm pretty sure its doomed to be a standard non super user text and call device but again a guy can dream. Maybe I'll craigslist a phone that i can root
[Moto X Q&A] jball:
Even though I no longer own the Maxx I will definitely post if and when I'm emailed with any updates as to when it will be available again.

I still enjoy my Nexus 5 and my

HTC one M8.
[Moto X Q&A] Space_Ghost716:
