MAXX code

Just FYI... I received an unlock code for a Moto Droid MAXX last week. It took about 4 days for it be delivered, and it worked great.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
I received a code at 11:24 AM CDT today. Funny, it sounds like Sunshine might be released today.

Update: The code worked. My phone is unlocked.
[Moto X Q&A] Moe Hailstone:
Assembly date please.

Assembly date please.
[Moto X Q&A] Slick52:
It wasn't my phone, so I don't know the exact assembly date of the Droid Maxx, but I know it was purchased sometime this spring, 2014.

I have one droid Maxx assembled on 2/3/2014 is this unlockable ??.. Chinese man not responding my mails ?? I asked him invoice also for money transaction .. but still he is not replaying.. so help me how u all people all ply to him?? he is not responding mails and no invoice.. pls help me.. sbdnyy@163.com is this his mail ??
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
He doesn't answer you until you PAY him.

It has been noted multiple times in this thread that you can NOT ask him questions, can NOT small-talk, can NOT ask him "is XXX imei unlockable" or "do you have my code". NO!

Pay the money, put IMEI and email in the notes, and roll the dice. Otherwise, forget about it.

You don't get to ask questions. You pay, and if he doesn't have your code, you get refunded.... Pretty simple...
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
I sent payment and he hasn't responded in 4 days
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Maybe this is a silly question, but did you really send money to tosbdnyy@163.com? It should be sbdnyy@163.com.
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Sbdnyy@163.com
[Moto X Q&A] silent2119:
Hm interesting
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Wat do
[Moto X Q&A] wrldruler:
Check your PayPal transaction history. I've tried this several times and sometimes it would get refunded without any notice going to my email.
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Just checked just shows the transaction
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Is there any chance you received a response message and it's still in a Junk/SPAM folder?
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Been checking both
[Moto X Q&A] zjfb26:
I have an unlock code from 2013 that'd I'd be willing to sell to you if it works. I have a 2014 moto x that it doesn't work on. Email me at zjfb26@gmail.com if you're interested.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Wtf???? Just wtf????
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Bro. The code is specific to the device. Bro.
[Moto X Q&A] jcase:
We haven't confirmed 4.4.4 is out the window, and who stated it was a trustzone hack?
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
LOL!
[Moto X Q&A] zjfb26:
Is there an issue?
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
So nothing after 5-6 days
[Moto X Q&A] jcase:
Unlock codes are tied to specific devices, you cant use one for one device, on another.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
I'm sorry to hear that. It's strange that I received a response (unlock code) before you even though I sent payment after you.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
If one code works on multiple devices, why would [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] (or anyone for that matter) bother looking for an exploit???
[Moto X Q&A] zjfb26:
Oh well now I feel like an idiot.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
And u wouldn't need the Chinese Middleman to unlock anymore, one person can buy the code and distribute it to everyone ;)
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Yeah I've emailed him multiple times. Kinda frustrated
[Moto X Q&A] duchski:
Anybody knows the latest moto x ATT build date that got a working code?
[Moto X Q&A] x000x:
i could have sworn there was a topic asking people to email their unlock codes to help possibly discover how they were being unlocked... but i cant find that link anymore. does anyone know what i'm referring to?

This thread has been changed to the SunShine exploit thread.
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
I did the unlock via chinaman back in February, got a replacement device, tried doing it again, have not received a response from him at all for about a week now. Put in a refund from PayPal. Nothing as of 3 days since that. Now I don't have enough money to pay for sunshine.
[Moto X Q&A] murso74:
looks like our guys is out of business. if anyone put the money down i'd probably try and cancel it and go for the sunshine route. unless you have 4.4.4 and sunshine won't work for you
[Moto X Q&A] slwest78:
It says it works on some 4.4.4

Some... Already people with 4.4.4 that it's not working for
[Moto X Q&A] slwest78:
Yeah the "some" is probably the mini, ultra and Maxx considering we never got 4.4.2 or 4.4.3. It might just not be working on moto x 4.4.4.

[Moto X Q&A] aneeshmbabu:
got replay from Chinese man after 40hr of payment .. but got two codes ,I don't know what the hell... not tried .. getting sleepy.. will report tomorrow.. u people know why two codes ?? surprise to me.. 2/6/14 assembly date
[Moto X Q&A] jasoraso:
Last time I used Chinese method; I got 2 "codes", but one was just the IMEI, and the second was the actual unlock code ...

If you truly got 2 different unlock codes, maybe he was unsure which code, so he gave you two to try. If one doesn't work; try the other one. No harm, no foul to try again.
[Moto X Q&A] aneeshmbabu:
no both are different one not imei no.. code both having 20 charectors he seperated both codes and my imei no in subject field .. I will report tomorw the result... will see the luck.. but still I'm confused with two codes.. one device having two codes ?? god know how he calculating code for our devices..
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
He refunded my payment.
[Moto X Q&A] duchski:
The good news is that he is still in business.
[Moto X Q&A] aneeshmbabu:
today I will try .. will report here soon .. anyone know why he got two codes for my phone ?? it means he calculating codes for different imei??
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Why not sunshine for $25?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Are you sure its two codes, and not the IMEI followed by the 20 digit code? Are they both 20 digits?

From Post #2..
[Moto X Q&A] duchski:
Is sunshine working on 4.4.4?

Anyways, got a link to sunshine?
[Moto X Q&A] scottshebs:
Its hit or miss. They are trying to figure it out, but some have successfully used sunshine .
[Moto X Q&A] aneeshmbabu:
both are different codes 20,digits.. not tried yet because of busy with job.. will report tonight how two codes works or not. but how he sent two codes . ??..,
[Moto X Q&A] compuguy1088:
That's great and all, but is the middleman still limited to unlocking phones from 2014 on? I would of tried sunshine, but the moto x I'm working with was updated to 4.4.4, so no viable root method.
[Moto X Q&A] :
From what I've seen in this thread, Yes, only 2014 phones up to June or so.

And the Sunshine devs have said they are working on 4.4.4...so you may need to be patient. ?
[Moto X Q&A] Spey:
Sunshine IS working on some of the phones that have taken 4. 4.4 From what I read it depends on how your phone loaded 4.4. 4 Bottom line, some people have had success with sunshine on phones running 4.4. 4 so maybe give it a try. As time goes by additional new solutions may present themselves (future evolution if Sunshine, ChinaMiddleMan getting updated factory unlock codes, etc.).
[Moto X Q&A] compuguy1088:
That's fine. I'm not in any rush. I was more curious as to what was currently going on. I'm also aware that Jcase has some methods of rooting 4.4.4 that he is keeping in reserve depending on future devices.
[Moto X Q&A] aneeshmbabu:
Kudos to chinese man .. Got two codes from china middle man.. Second one worked well .. Got my droid maxx Boot loader unlocked .. ..build no 2/3/14...
[Moto X Q&A] lmalinofsky@gmail.com:
Alas, put me down as one of the 4.4.4 users who could not use Sunshine. Yet. Would like to buy jcase a latte or whatever his recharge beverage may be!

I wouldn't panic yet. I work for a company that does business in China. October 1st is their Chinese National Day and 10/1-10/7 IIRC is like a week-long holiday.

I know we have been unable to get email responses from many of our Chinese counterparts.

This Middleman may also be on vacation.

[Moto X Q&A] viper10585:
No go for me

I received a replacement Verizon Droid Maxx yesterday and was saddened, but not surprised, that it had KitKat 4.4.4. Build date is 6/18/2014. I tried SunShine 2.61 with no luck, and then sent $45 with my IMEI to China Middleman last night. About 12 hours later, I just got a refund with the note "unable to get". Bummer :/
[Moto X Q&A] jflatle:
Just got a refund. Build date was 06-02-2014
[Moto X Q&A] catawalks:
Just sent payment, phone barcode date 11-23-2013. Awaiting response.

Seeing that this is now still up and running, I'm very tempted to buy a new Moto X Verizon edition and see if he can get an unlock for that. I'm probably being overly optimistic though.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Just a reminder newer folk....still seems this guy only has codes for 2014 only....up to about June. Nothing seems to have changed as far as that goes. ?

But you can try anyways and get refunded.
[Moto X Q&A] catawalks:
I figured mine was close enough to 2014, only out by a couple days, that it might work. After I sent the money though I saw the other thread about unlocking bootloaders with SunShine. I installed that, ran it, paid and now I'm already unlocked, wiped, flashed to SlimKat and apps restored. Pre-2014 phones might want to look over at that thread and see if that one works for you first since it's a little cheaper.
[Moto X Q&A] Wirelessmodz:
well the box says may 13th on mine phone says june 26th i sent him the money we will see what happens fingers crosssed
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You're looking at the bar code screen on your phone, right? And not the "build date" on the Settings -> About Phone screen. (instructions in post #2 of this thread tell you how to get the assembled date)

Does the IMEI of your phone match the one on the box?

If so, this is the first I've heard of the phone's bar code screen date not matching the box.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Has anyone had a gen 2 unlocked through the middleman yet?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Its probably doubtful. Seems he hasn't "obtained" any new codes since this second go around started. He's only been doing 2014 up to about June for a long time now. No change in date range.
[Moto X Q&A] Wirelessmodz:
my bad there both may 2014
[Moto X Q&A] Orch4rd:
Does he usually take more than 2 days? It's been over 48 hours.

Btw, where do I check the build date? Setthings/About Phone/Build number?

The only date I see listed in is Kernal version.

Does anyone know the middle man Skype name I lost it
[Moto X Q&A] shootquinn:
So frustrated right now!

after about 65 hours finally got my code for a device that i had bought off ebay (advertised 4.2, but came with 4.4.4) and am preparing to ship back TODAY, but i figured i'd see if i could get a code for it. Code shows up (build date 1/23/14), I have about enough time to do a celebratory dance and show my girlfriend before i hit "not spam" to move to inbox and POOF my code is gone FOREVER.

3 hours wasted trying to find it, now submitted a yahoo recovery request. One thing that crossed my mind was date format could be different from his email client? So i checked every possible date combination looking at emails back to 2010 and can't find it. I added him on skype and no response, and sent him an email. I guess it's time to go drink myself stupid, cry about not taking a screenshot, and hopefully i have a code in the morning from him or the yahoo restore will work.

If anyone wanted to PM me the address the code was sent from or what to search for (my IMEI number returns no results) i would be very happy. Thanks.

Update: looks like he just sends codes from his email tied to pay pal. My search turns up nothing, so hopefully Yahoo recovery digs the message up.
[Moto X Q&A] danjordan727:
His Skype name is gsmdlxc. Hope this resolves your issues.

Sunshine complained about not being able to temp root my Verizon Moto X. I want to look into the China middleman, but I literally have no idea how to contact him.

Also, I don't have a Paypal. Is that going to be a problem?

[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
Afaik, sunshine doesn't temp root, it just unlocks ur bootloader. But in order to run sunshine, u need to be temp rooted. What Android version r u on?
[Moto X Q&A] bobdamnit:
4.4.4. The phone came with 4.2.2, however the retard at the Verizon store pulled the phone out of the box during activation and updated it before I could tell him to stop.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
:S you're SOL because sunshine doesn't work on 4.4.4...

He's probably not a retard, they probably instructed him to do so to prevent new users from unlocking...
[Moto X Q&A] bobdamnit:
Yeah, I know. At the time I did not know that 4.4.4 was unrootable, so it wasn't a big deal to me. A few weeks and a bit of research later, though, and I was seriously unhappy.

I've made a PayPal account. I plan on contacting him tonight. Here's hoping he can help me out.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Just fyi he will not answer you unless you send payment. No code = refund, but asking 'do you have a code for my device' without sending money = ignore.

Good luck!
[Moto X Q&A] bobdamnit:
Yeah, I sent him the cash. Gave him the cash on PayPal with a message with my build date along with my IMEI. I figure that PayPal has the option to report a vendor for refunds, so I feel safe about going ahead with this. Many people before me have been refunded, and my build date falls within the 'guaranteed' dates, so I look forward to hearing from him.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
As long as you sent it as "Goods and Services" and not as a Gift. (i.e. Gift can't be disputed, so there is no recourse if something doesn't work out. "Goods and Services" can be disputed on PayPal, and you can get your money back if it comes to it)
[Moto X Q&A] bobdamnit:
PayPal asked if it was a gift payment, and I said no. I assume this means its a goods and services payment?

I haven't heard back from him, but I've been reading that some users responses took up to a week, so I've just been waiting patiently.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
As far as I know, that should be the right way. But I don't use PayPal.

Yes, most are between a few hours, some drag on for nearly a week, and very very few have taken longer. If its been at least a week, its not a bad idea to try and follow up via email or skype.
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
It asks you how you want to send it or its automatically goods and service. If you want to send as gift you have to select it.
[Moto X Q&A] bobdamnit:
Thanks! I'm positive that it got sent as a goods and service transaction then. It did ask if I wanted to send it as a gift and I explicitly selected no on previous advice in this thread.

And apparently he has a web site... its on the screenshot i took of his Skype :rolleyes:
[Moto X Q&A] wooddale:
You need assembled date not build date. Build date is kernel date. No one has gotten a code back with an assembled date any recent than about mid may.
[Moto X Q&A] Bigsnook911:
Sorry i meant assembly date....

my build date is jun 18th 2014

I pulled the assembly date from terminal using ./fastboot oem get_unlock_data

At first i wanted to try motorola and see if they would unlock it like they offer on there site.... well.... they said no....

heres a screen shot....

So why can motorola be so picky about what phones they will let you unlock....

I think its biased and unfair...
[Moto X Q&A] Bigsnook911:
How can my build date be before my assembly date?

build date is 6/18/2014

assembled on 6/24/2014
[Moto X Q&A] slwest78:
Because build date is when the kernel and/or software was built for that model phone. All the same phone models with the same software version will have the same build date.

~Sent from my Unlocked & Rooted 32 GB Droid Maxx~
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Its because of their contracts with the wireless carriers.

Moto needs to follow the carrier's rules/mandates, or the carrier wont accept their phones.

And you did include your phones IMEI in your paypal to him, right? (not sure if your post about sending the pay pal was a copy/paste of what you put in it, or was just for the forum)

Yep. I included the IMIE, XT1080, assembly date, and my email.

Middleman unlock code didn't work. :crying:

Gave it a shot, oh well...
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You mean you got a code and it didn't work? If so, did you try copying/pasting from the email, or did you manually type it (when doing mfastboot oem unlock)?

did the email include your IMEI number? was it the right one for your phone? (i.e. might he have mixed up yours with another device?)
[Moto X Q&A] alstair:
Yeah, tried copying it first, then entering it manually, then tried replacing all 'O's with '0's (that's oh's for zeroes ;) ) and nothing worked. unlock always returns an invalid password used message.

have emailed him back to check it again and I'll let everyone know how that goes. :svetius:
