Easiest way to enter code?

Hi All --

Simple question. Once I get the code, whats the easiest way to enter it? I am reading that some methods involve a SIM that doesn't match the locked bootloader. Any method that doesn't involve swapping SIMs?
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
This doesn't have anything to do with Sims. U just have to run a fastboot command to unlock:

fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Are you sure you are not confusing SIM unlocking with Bootloader unlocking?

SIM unlocking allows you to use the SIM from another carrier in your phone.. i.e. use a T-Mobile sim in an ATT branded X. That process does require you to have a different carrier's sim so the phone will prompt you to enter the unlock code. SIM unlock codes are available from many places around the web.

Bootloader unlocking allows you to flash a custom recovery, 3rd party roms, etc. By virtue of being able to flash a custom recovery you can easily root your phone. There are only two places you can get a bootloader unlock code for the X... Either Motorola's web site (for many, but not ALL carriers) or the Chinese Website or Middleman (only way if Moto doesn't supply)

To bootloader unlock, once you have your phone, [MENTION=2642571]mschumacher69[/MENTION] has given you the short version of the command/process. The long version is to follow -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-Unlocking.htm
[Moto X Q&A] mrdudex:
Oh wow. Did not know that the processes were different, thought one did both. All I want is the bootloader unlock, to install CM. Thanks for the short, and detailed instructions. I will be asking for an unlock code on a phone with a 4-21 build today. Will report back. Thanks again.
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
any differance between dev version and a chinaman unlocked motomaker version?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yep.

Dev edition keeps warranty intact after unlock.

Unlock via middleman = warranty VOID.

That's the only difference.
[Moto X Q&A] easting:

So I was trying on taobao because I had read the other thread and just read the title of this one saying the middleman was back. Doh! Looks like purchase on taobao didn't go through, though. Just got a text stating sale was cancelled and I'd be credited the money (although my credit card was never charged).

Just a word of warning for those who can't read, such as myself: Paypal good, taobao bad! Now I just have to figure out how to delete my account on taobao before my credit card info gets stolen...

Edit: Got a code and it worked! Only took him a few hours for me :D
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
Very Simple Process

People, the middleman unlock process is a very simple process. NO need to register with Taobao website or any of that.

Just send $45 via paypal to sbdnyy@163.com (make SURE to send payment as for goods and services and NOT a gift).

Include ONLY the email you want the code sent to AND your IMEI number. That's all. Don't include any questions or conversation.

The guy is not trying to become your friend.

If he has a code for you he WILL send it to your email. If not he WILL refund your money.

Also, if your device is a 2013 device or a device from let's say mid to late June 2014 then please know that you are groping in the dark to get a code.

(2013 may never get an unlock code and mid to late June 2014 may be too new for you to get a code).

BTW, my device (xt1028) build date is 3-4-2014 and I sent for my unlock code in early June. Received a successful unlock code about 18 hours after sending payment.

Just in case you haven't already tried, others have advised that they had to COPY the code from the email and paste it into Notepad. Then they opened command prompt and type "fastboot oem unlock " and copied the code from Notepad, and pasted into command prompt. More than one individual reported success doing it this way.

Strange huh? I was able to copy straight from the email into command prompt and it worked perfect.

No luck. I extracted to twrp file to the same location as adb. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yep, we can see from the picture what you are doing wrong. You aren't running mfastboot from the right folder....

Also, have you -renamed- the twrp image file to "recovery.img"? Normally when you download TWRP it has a different filename... If you haven't already renamed it, do it.

We need to change directories to the correct folder first...

Do this, one command at a time:

cd/

cd adb

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

that should do the trick!
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Yeah..anyone that has my adb.zip file..then all one needs to do is unzip the (adb.zip) to the c:\ (main directory) (aka) root directory and save themselves a lot of typing..it looks like this >> c:\adb

Then all one needs to type in would be as follows in the command prompt window..

cd c:\ (press enter)

cd adb (press enter)

adb devices (press enter) to prove adb is working..

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img (press enter)

and the flash takes place..

Not having to type and remember all those long commands, SDK directory commands..

This also works with unlocking the bootloader..except the flash recovery command.. lol

[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Yes..mfastboot can run within adb directory..if one wish to flash recovery only..that's the simplest way..with a copy of the needed recovery.img within the adb directory..

But not to get to far off the thread context and dispute your method..but what I have posted has worked for me at least 50 times, flawlessly.. maybe my word placement is incorrect..lol..I did edit one of my lines above, I usually run the one command to prove-out adb..

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yes, bro, obviously you have to run mfastboot from WITHIN the adb directory....but you are having him type adb AFTER you had him change directories to the ADB folder. This runs the ADB executable. Do you get what I'm saying?

There is no reason to type "adb" after you change to the adb directory.

Just for the heck of it, I tried it and it spits out about 3 pages worth of the adb context. Then it returns you to the command prompt. This step is completely unnecessary.

Just trying to help. Back on topic...

I can select "No physical delivery" in the Delivery options.

I have made several payments via Paypal earlier and don't remember seeing the gift option earlier as well - which I want to avoid BTW.

I have the same build date, and I tried both the first and the second time the middleman came back. Both times he said he couldn't get an unlock code for my device (despite it being purchased in late January and having the build date of 1-14-2014).
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
TRY the official moto site first. I'm not familiar with German carriers, but usually only the U.S. variants cannot be unlocked via the official site (because the carriers FORBID Moto from giving out codes for their branded devices).

Why pay for something if you can get it for free, right? If your carrier has instructed Moto to NOT give out your unlock code, the Middleman MAY be able to help assuming your IMEI is in his database...

Good Luck, and let us know.

In order to obtain a bootloader code..one should know the "official" MFG date..which is obtained in the "barcodes" menu..this is the base for my question, wanted to make sure the user knew the "official" date, because many have went off of the kernel build date, which is meaningless to unlock..

My primary point..seems to me, that some early 2014 models, the "Chinaman" doesn't have the code for..But..I no longer follow this thread closely..but maybe if some with early dates, may try again..

Does the MEID do the trick or do you need the IMEI, and if so is there some other menu to find it? Have no idea where the box is, if it was on that.
[Moto X Q&A] JacobLukeWood:
I'll give it another try tonight and let you all know :) fingers crossed!!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
The MEID is the same as the IMEI. The IMEI is MEID + a checksum digit. Either will work :)

(For those of you who may doubt me: http://www.meidconverter.net/ see for yourself....)

I have unlocked 2 phones using the middleman. The first, I sent the IMEI. The 2nd phone I actually had ordered it and not even received it yet, but I got a shipping confirmation email listing the MEID. I sent the MEID to the middleman, and got my code before my phone even arrived!!! Code worked perfectly ;)

EDIT: The only exception is if for some reason your carrier lists the DECIMAL meid or imei instead of the HEX which is listed on most phones. They are STILL the same number (you simply convert between HEX and DEC -- you can also use the meid converter I linked to convert between HEX and DEC.
