Yeah good luck with that :/

I am having the exact same issue as you and never got an email response, I'm currently trying to get him to help me over Skype.
[Moto X Q&A] sivarticus85:
Lol yeah I'm prepared for the worst... back to playing the waiting game again.
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Just a note: back when the first round of this was going on..I sent in all the info for a device..came back with reply.. NO CODE available..from "Chinaman"..a couple weeks later, ran it again..received code with no problems..

Maybe this has been discussed before here..BUT

I think sometimes..on " Chinaman's" end..there is human failure/error also at times..maybe keys in wrong info..or mixes up peoples info..I think this is a high possibility also..

Just something to consider..one # off..and no code..

I've unlocked a 11/13 and a 12/13....but they were both Republic Wireless. For some strange reason, I haven't seen -anyone- with an RW Moto X NOT get their code (maybe someone with one straight out of factory...July 2014). Its as if he has ALL the RW codes. Yes, they were both after he started saying "2014 only". If anyone has a 2013 RW phone, I highly suggest you try anyways, if you want unlocked. ;)

We thought he was getting "monthly" database dups/updates.. Maybe not now?

It will be very important as more people try, if they can post their build date (based on bar code screen), Date they sent the request, and if they are successful or not. And it could be done as one single post after they know they are successful or not.

Very confusing :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] sivarticus85:
Well if it's any consolation my code ended up being wrong. I still haven't heard back from him about sending the correct code, granted he even has it.
[Moto X Q&A] crashtheface:
Thanks for the update man! really appreciate it

Let it all be known, if your build date is May 2014 or newer, you probably won't get a code at this time. Wait a bit longer.
[Moto X Q&A] oshbeer:
Same here, I have filed a dispute and he gave me the same code again with a rejection of claim... I have responded to him in Chinese and English 3 times before I filed the dispute. My build date is 4/19/2014 so I am not concerned about the lack of code, just a correct one. I used sbdABC@###.com. (leaving out some info just in case there are rules here).

XT1080 - tried fastbood and mfastboot, copy / paste, copy / paste to notepad and then to cmd, extra space, no extra space, CAPS, no caps, manually typing, so um yeah, I am sure it is the code.

So here is my questions:

- should I go ahead and take the 4.4.4 update?

- Will 4.4.4 still allow for bootloader unlock if I get a code?

- Has anyone else had problems with sbdABC...?

- The only unknown that I can see is that I am on 19.6.3, am I missing something here?
[Moto X Q&A] sivarticus85:
Well I'm the July guy everyone is talking about, which I'll admit I was surprised I got a code at all. I may just go ahead and initiate a dispute to get his attention.
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Sorry your having so much trouble..

Unlocking the bootloader procedure has nothing to do with the OS as to what version..BUT..during the unlock procedure, the (present) OS is erased..SO..backup anything you wish to keep..WHEN you get the "correct" code..

If you could possibly attach a screen shot of your adb window when you attempt the code procedure, we can take a look to see if something is missing..this has helped us here, in the past with similar issues, to have success..NOT saying your doing it all wrong..but maybe another few eyes will help.?

OH..SO..your the one.? Your quite popular around this "neck of the woods".. nice to meet you Sir. "Mr.July"..LOL

I haven't followed this thread close lately..please forgive me..

This has probably been "beat to death".. BUT

Probably there is more than one "Chinaman" doing the codes, maybe it depends on which "Chinaman" receives each ones order.?

Back in (round one) (months ago) of the unlock code faze..I placed many unlock code orders, for others that couldn't figure out the procedures, this round three seems to be easier, and maybe the "Chinaman" is receiving a lot more requests now, compared to round one..

I remember..I placed orders all hours of the night and day, and back then, someone was most always online there, that would chat..not always the same person..my point is..maybe depends on whom gets the order to how efficient that one is..

Just me thow..

Sir..I personally do not see anything wrong in your screen..

I have attached a small zip file download..once downloaded..unzip to your computers hard drive root directory..Anotherwords..unzip to >> c:\

After unzipped, then you want have to do all that keyboarding to run adb..your command would look like this >> c:\adb

Instead of having to keyboard at that long command..

I have included "mfastboot" in the zip..try running "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot"..the drivers for both are already included and will be unzipped to the proper location..

Run the mfastboot command line and get back with us here..please attach the screen shot like you did in your previous post..

Also..you may consider running this command to verify your devices are communicating..a short line should display your device ID below the previous command..

May I have your attention, PLEASE:

Everyone who has been UNABLE to get a code from the middleman, listen up:

One of our genius Developers has successfully put the PIE tethered-root to rest. VERY soon, you will have available a simple, install-able app that will replace PIE -and- TowelRoot, solves the issues regarding TR running a less-useful su context (and not working for some), AND auto-roots upon reboot.

Brace yourselves ;)

Its based off of PIE and TR, but does what neither of them can.

This is a 'teaser', and its all you get. Everything else will be explained soon enough :cool:

When you see the thread regarding this, for goodness sakes, hit the THANKS button to the DEV! :good:

And don't update past 4.4.2 if you are interested in this.... (possibility for 4.4.3, but unlikely...and almost certainly won't work on 4.4.4)

[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
People... China Man seems to have a LOT of requests on his plate. 48 hours is nothing. I think it took me something like 5-7 days the first time I tried for an unlock code. The 2nd time I think it took 2 days. 3rd time a couple hours. The time it takes him to get back to you can vary greatly (evidence throughout this thread continually reiterates this). He has never failed to get back to me. So it's either patience, read more of this thread, or this deal isn't for you.

If so, it means the new root method is easier but still doesn't disable write protection in 4.4.2. which at least for me is a deal breaker. Would rather stay on 4.4 with write protection off.

I hope I am wrong though and someone is going to release a full root, write protection off for moto x 4.4.2....

Mm, bummer - says he can't unlock it. Did he need the IMEI or the MEID? I had sent him the former.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You have probably already discovered this by now... But they are the same number. IMEI is simply the MEID with one additional checksum digit. The middleman is well aware of this and will calculate the checksum digit for you if you send the MEID.

Sorry you didn't get your code. Likely, it is too new. You can probably try again in a month or two. Hopefully the service is still available then.

FWIW I paid a couple days ago and decided to just try e-mailing him to see if that might expedite the process and ta-da approximately 20 minutes later I get my code. I can't test it since I actually don't have the device yet (bought it secondhand and had the seller send me the IMEI before shipping to get a head start on the unlocking process :)).

March 2014 build date for those that are wondering.
[Moto X Q&A] ski21:
I'm screwed, just checked my date. Sept 2013
[Moto X Q&A] PeterDLai:
One thing I realized recently is that I believe all 16GB models of the Droid Maxx should have a build date in April 2014 or later since they updated the design and lowered the memory from the original 32GB model (which was released back in 2013). I've seen a lot of people selling 16GB Droid Maxx devices with build dates in April 2014 (when the "updated" model was released) whose bootloaders should be unlockable through this middleman.
[Moto X Q&A] RichardCA:
That wasn't my experience and I have that phone.

I don't think we have a confirmed case of an April 2014 / 16GB Droid MAXX getting a successful unlock code yet.

In my case I got 2 weeks of silence and then requested a refund (which was done promptly, to be fair).
[Moto X Q&A] PeterDLai:
There's at least two in this thread from a quick search. (1) (2)

Also, I saw someone selling a 16GB Droid Maxx with unlocked bootloader on Swappa. Given that the 16GB model only came out in April, it's probable it has an April build date as people have been unsuccessful in this thread getting codes for May 2014 and beyond.

Did you try contacting him via e-mail and/or Skype before initiating the dispute for a refund? I don't know how long I would've had to wait if I didn't follow up with him a couple days later (I doubt it was just a coincidence that he replies with my code 20 minutes after my follow-up e-mail).
