Jcase...thank you very much for helping us with this...my phone is too old for china middleman..so I will gladly pay 25 dollars for an app...thanks for your help
[Moto X General] auTONYmous:
Same here. Oct 2013 build. Tried the chinaman twice and was noped both times. Had root for a short while with SlapMyMoto, but was too eager and took the 4.4.3 upgrade. Used it for months, didn't really care about not having root, took the 4.4.4 OTA. NOW I need it.

*gets his $25 bucks ready to send JCase's way*
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Got mine ready to send to the ninja!
[Moto X General] matt99017d:
I'm getting a replacement X in a few days under warranty exchange. What ever the case, I hope your hard work will work on the new phone. I'm not sure what they are sending them with now...:-/
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
I just got my replacement warranty phone today, came with 442 on it. it will try to download the 444 update as soon as it gets an internet signal so download towelpieroot and delete the 3C.ota files
[Moto X General] matt99017d:
That's fantastic news

That's fantastic news!
[Moto X General] smartazz69:
I can't wait to give my $25 to Jcase.
[Moto X General] mohlsen8:
You can freeze the updater with towelpieroot.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
the prob is it doesnt stick once the phone reboots.. the broke phone on 444 was on 442 rooted with tpr set to run at reboot.. well it rebooted on its own and downloaded 444 and ran it without my knowing it.. good thing it developed a random rebooting problem after the update and was replaced with a new warenty phone
[Moto X General] mohlsen8:
Weird, I have a moto x and moto g where I've disabled the updater with root(no write access). They show up as disabled in settings/apps even after reboots and the phone no longer having root.
[Moto X General] userjf:
Yes, it DOES stay frozen after reboot, even though it loses root, the frozen OTA stays frozen. Lots of people have confirmed this on the towelpieroot thread.

Most new orders of Moto X (Gen 1) come with 4.4.4 now from the factory. Warranty swaps are luck of the draw.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
what is the exact name of the app and i will give it a try, i deleted the 3c.ota files from the root/system/pri-apps folder and that stops the ota.. until reboot.. but didnt try what you mentioned.. i looked for an updater app and didnt see it
[Moto X General] userjf:
Oh, you are deleting files ... Anything you do to the system folder will be undone when you reboot.

You need to freeze the ota app with Titanium Backup. Freezing (instead of deleting) somehow survives reboots.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
well i dont think you need root to disable an app, i will try that. is it just called updater?
[Moto X General] userjf:
you need root/temproot to freeze ota app.
[Moto X General] mohlsen8:
Use towelpieroot to get root, download Titanium Backup, freeze "Motorola OTA". (That's the updater).
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
I deleted the ota files i wonder if thats why im not seeing the app..
[Moto X General] userjf:
hard reboot, and then the ota app will come back, then you should be able to temproot and freeze it

[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Thanks, tried titanium backup but wanted me to purchase it to enable freeze function, so I searched similar apps and found one called App Quarantine that is free and does the job perfect, its frozen rebooted tested working awesome
[Moto X General] Markmaster:
If you can unlock my bootloader on my 1058 4.4.4 - "Shut up and take my money" [emoji767]
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Thats funny LOL
[Moto X General] 640k:
FWIW - sign up for Google Rewards surveys. It's an "easy" way to get apps for free.

The only reason i have the full version of TiBackup is because my N7 came with a $25 Play Store credit.
[Moto X General] redeuxx:
I'm just curious, i used to have root but I screwed my phone up and had to restore to 4.4.2. It works fine but I can't access security settings to enable unknown sources. My question is, will this unlock be an app or through ADB?

Sent from my XT1058
[Moto X General] jcase:
An app, you can install it through adb without checkung enable unknown sources.

Why cant you access the security settings?
[Moto X General] Ctrl-Freak:
The "security settings force close" problem happens in 4.4.x when the modem software is mismatched (usually the modem is still pre 4.4.x.) If your /system and kernel are 4.4.2, then flashing the 4.4.2 NON-HLOS.bin (and I would also do fsg.mbn) should fix this problem.
[Moto X General] aamszia:
When its going to release ???

any expected date of release ?
[Moto X General] toroloco73:
excuse my ignorance, but with this exploit I have to pay $ 25 to unlock my bootloader?
[Moto X General] k_t_b:
Yes. When it's available, that is the plan.
[Moto X General] matt99017d:
If you want it unlocked. Yes.yes you do have to pay $25.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
You've got an XT1052, you can unlock your bootloader for free here:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
[Moto X General] brainwash1:
When it's ready, it will be released.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
The only details we know now is it will be released soon, this week or the next. We also know it will cost $25. We don't exactly know if it's 4.4.2 dependent but it might be. We know it will be in app form like TPR.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Why do you keep asking questions about unlocking?

It has been pointed out to you MULTIPLE times that I know of.....that you can unlock FOR FREE!!!!!!

I don't understand why you keep asking? You seem to be afraid of voiding your warranty or something, but as we have told you *multiple times*, your warranty is voided **NO MATTER HOW YOU UNLOCK**.

Unlock through Moto = warranty void

Unlock through middleman = warranty void

Unlock with exploit = warranty void

Get it? Just unlock from Moto's website if you want unlocked.
[Moto X General] The Mexinerd:
You can't fix stupid.
[Moto X General] murso74:
No, but you can unlock stupid for 25 dollars
[Moto X General] HamBone625:
That was clever as hell! Good one good one indeed..
[Moto X General] mtcrew:
True, however going through the website puts you on a definitive book that you're voided whereas the latter is not recorded. Whether that should be the motive for unlocking is another discussion.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
I doubt they record anything or they bother checking their record if they do.

The phone itself will say it all. They just need to check it and they can see that it's status code 3 (unlocked) or status code 2 (re-locked) and they would know that you've unlocked no matter how you unlock...
[Moto X General] mtcrew:
They do record it and you will absolutely lose your warranty on services as your phones serial number has been linked to the official Motorola system. If you do it the other way around they might not bother to check as been the experience of a few others already.
[Moto X General] toroloco73:
i made a question many times because i want to unlock my device without use the free way on Motorola site...

i know if i unlock the device i lost warranty, but there are people that unlock their devices with china middleman code, and they try to send their devices to motorola for repair, and motorola repaired them without ask them money, because those devices wheren't in the databases unlock request.....

YOU ARE STUPID !

please make attention, give me respect !
[Moto X General] murso74:
Good one
[Moto X General] JooseyJay:
Good one? Are you 15? This is a forum not a highschool where you need to insult him better.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
I completely agree. With these sort of things...process of elimination....

Unfortunately, I'm not the least bit willing to even POSSIBLY risk bricking a device to find out, and I assume the rest of us aren't willing, either ;)
[Moto X General] Verttex:
I wonder if I could buy some broken ones on Craigslist or something. I'll look into it but ain't promising anything.
[Moto X General] :
If I had a little extra cash I'd pick one up right now. There's someone on cl selling one pretty Mich new because they didn't pay their bill and its gonna be imei blacklisted.
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Something like that would be a prefect example, provided it is a cheap buy.. Maybe also an unlock code that was known to work on it..

tapa'd on my moto x
[Moto X General] :
Yea $50, if its still there this weekend I'll pick it up.
[Moto X General] cpurick:
Maybe it's as simple as he uses published codes for unlockable bootloaders that have related IMEI values? What if every phone assembled the same day had the same code, and you can freely look up the code for T-Mobile devices? Could you make money selling that code to VZW owners whose phones were built the same day?

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

I doubt they'd burn a phone over that.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Its all theories at this point, good one! This is one of the reasons we are collecting this info :) Based on the info so far though (if all the info entered is accurate), that isn't the case. We do have some submissions with the same build date and they ARE different codes. But this experiment IS giving us useful data though -- especially since we are now able to maybe rule out this possibility (again, only if the data is correct).

Since I've gotten some (obviously) bogus data from some non-team-players on here....like unlock code "12345", and "23564532", and a VERY original "1" and "0", until we have more data it will be hard to make many more useful assumptions.

Once again -- all speculation unless we try. Consider this: we absolutely KNOW that if you enter a SIM-UNLOCK code too many times on an AT&T Moto X (IIRC, its 5 attempts), your phone is PERMANENTLY sim-locked to AT&T. And -nobody- has found a way around this yet. If you're one of the unlucky people who did this (tried multiple times), your phone can only be used on AT&T.....ever.
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Any thing notable about the collection yet? I'm curious if there are any double submissions, though I'm sure you're already looking out for this.

May I ask about how many seemingly legit subs you've gotten, and if anything has stood out so far?

Maybe I'm getting ahead, and no more than a few have been sent yet..

tapa'd on my moto x
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Sure! I think everyone deserves to know the current status....

As of RIGHT NOW, we have:

86 submissions

of which 5 are completely and purposely BOGUS

and 2 sets (4 submissions) are -complete duplicates- and were posted from the same IP, within seconds of each other (I wonder if they really thought I wouldn't look at the timestamps / IP addresses?)

zero correlations

What I can also tell you is that IF the build dates entered are correct, we do have 3 sets (6 submissions) that have the same build date and are completely unique codes. This would seem to rule out the previously suggested idea that perhaps all units from a particular build date might use the same unlock-token.

Still need much more data to make any further (useful) correlations.

Hope everyone appreciates the update.... :good:
[Moto X General] crashtheface:
this is great guys! although I doubt there is any hope of keys working on multiple devices but it is totally worth a shot. If I get an unlock code for my June 2014 I will swiftly contribute to your DB. [waiting for owners of june 2014 devices to report successful unlock]

Keep rocking guys. This is a good idea.
[Moto X General] bravesfan171:
What's the latest build date you guys have seen a successful unlock for? I have a 6-16-14 I submitted as an unsuccesful code.

Wondering if I should try again. Thanks for what you guys are doing!
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
According to the submissions, the latest SUCCESSFUL build date from the china middleman was 6/28/14

I also have a couple of submissions with July build dates, but they were UNSUCCESSFUL at unlocking.

Whether or not you should try again - I really couldn't advise...I have a few unsuccessful submissions -before- 6/28/14 as well - so maybe that guy got lucky, or maybe he made a mistake saying it was successful and accidentally checked "yes" instead of "no" - it's hard telling...

Good Luck

[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
[MENTION=5434024]rekids[/MENTION] , I apologize if this post seems off topic. But in a related note :

Wouldn't it be easier on the Dev, as well as the followers here if some sort of push notification were set up to announce any release or prominent information?

Twitter I suppose is a tool built for such circumstances. But many accounts use it for multiple purposes ( therootninja account I assume was created to announce/discuss sunshine development, but not for moto x specifically).

I don't suggest the Dev (rootninja and/or jcase) to create just another disposable channel to maintain. But I imagine using some sort of ifttt / RSS / twitter feed could ease some of the "whenwhenWHEN???" questions.

Any one interested could subscribe to the notification, and be notified when that specific special event happens.

I'd be willing to create a twitter or RSS feed to accomplish this, but I don't want to offend the devs or steal thunder at all. Plus, I fear I'm not the fastest to discover such releases at times.

Thoughts, or dumb idea?

---

For what it's worth, I understand the purpose of this thread is pretty much what I'm getting at. But people ( and now, I ) have posted questions and discussions that don't revel the actual release. In my eyes, that could be accomplished by locking this thread. But as samwa pointed out, the thread may not be unlocked in an appropriate amount of time once the release happens.

[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
I think Jcase mentioned this will be a simple app you run, if that's the case will someone please post some easy to follow steps to attain root once the ninja frees the boot

Ive heard the term TWRP mentioned here and installing it as a custom rom... well I don't necessarily need a custom rom.. only a rooted moto x, is installing the custom rom the only way to attain root on 442 once the boot is unlocked?

I sure do hope for a vzw moto g bootloader unlock. Even if it's $25 it's still worth it to pay a guy for the time and energy he/they put into this. It's sure cheaper than buying a new device and shows appreciation to the effort. Thanks jcase and whoever else is working on this. It's crazy how ungrateful some people are when it comes to the lack of knowledge and time it takes to do something like this. So thanks again!

[Moto X General] DaRkRhiNe:
I Hope with this release, the development for Moto X should increase :fingers-crossed:
[Moto X General] shadowk91:
Please read through the forum. Many questions have already been answered. The PayPal payment for sunshine is per device and per use of the app. You can't just pay once and unlock every other device.

Also the app won't even let you get to the payment part if your phone is incompatible with the unlock so I'd assume refunds are out of the question. For people with recently updated devices, I'd wait for a confirmation from the devs. Hopefully the exploit is still vulnerable but please stop asking about version numbers, devices and compatibility. All will be revealed soon by the sounds of it.

If you really are full of excitement that you simply cannot wait, I'd suggest following the twitter accounts of jcase [MENTION=487576]teaman[/MENTION]dIRC and /or [MENTION=373605]TheRoot[/MENTION]Ninja

Sunshine page has not been updated but v.2.1.3 is the version that is available for download. Does not work on Droid Maxx running 4.4.4 unrooted. (Not surprised since no root yet for 4.4.4)

I can confirm that 2.1.3 does not work on 4.4 rooted.

[Moto X General] pjsockett:
For the HTC version it will root your device and then unlock. You don't have to have root going in but you have to be on a version that can be rooted through current available methods, I am guessing Pie since jcase and Beuaps wrote that too.
[Moto X General] BADDINOROX99:
so much as I suspected 4.4.4 most likely not be compatible :/

[Moto X General] BADDINOROX99:
its the anticipation...its killing me.... And no speculation doesn't help I know that
[Moto X General] pjsockett:
That is not necessarily true. We need to wait and see upon release. The fact that they have delayed the release could be due to the fact that they are testing a new root method that works for all versions. There are very few people that know at this point and the rest of us just need to wait for release to find out.
