I was wondering if anything has changed as far as the XT1527 variant bootloader's being able to unlock. I tried several times when I first obtained this device for testing in and failed. Apparently I purchased the wrong phone. I even contacted Motorola about this and was assured that I could unlock it by following the unlock procedures... No go...lol

So I just wanted to see if there was any news or good news..
[E 2015 General] xtermmin:
The Moto-direct XT1527, the Consumer Cellular XT1527, and the Canadian XT1527 can be bootloader unlocked via Moto's website fine.

The AT&T/GoPhone/Cricket XT1527 cannot, as Moto's website identifies it and rejects it.
[E 2015 General] glockman4519:
OK, so it is only the ATT and Cricket phones that are not able. Thank you for your reply, it is pretty much what I researched. Disappointing but at least the phone was cheap. I will give it to someone and look for another one. It's not worth the hassle to sell it.

Thank you for your detailed instructions to unlock my device.

Still, NO luck!

I was able to get to Step 12; but when I requested the "unlock key", the response was as follows:

"device is NOT unlockable"

The reason that I discovered was the device "cid = 0-0002" means "verizon device - NOT unlockable"

hi guys i have one question. I bought xt1524 italy vodafone branded. I used the guide to flash stock 6.0 android EU firmware XT1524_SURNIA_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

All ok but i skip some commands: mfastboot oem config carrier vzw and mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5 because it isn't onto rar archive.

Then the phone stuck on bootlop. So i went in recovery mode and wipe/reset data/cache. Nothing bootloop.

So i went in bootloader and started the phone in factory mode and yes!!! the phone is started with "optimising android apps screen" and all is good.

My question is: the phone actually is with bootloader status locked. Do i unlock and reflash 6.0 EU firmware for totally debranding phone?

Phone is workin good but i want to erasing all vodafone things. Thanks in advance

IF you have the at&t version of the XT 1527 model it will have the CID of 0x01.

You can tell if the CID is 0x01 by running:

fastboot getvar all and checking the CID value.

AT&T doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked. I would suggest weighing in on this forum thread if you own the AT&T version. Maybe if they get enough customers complaining about this problem (who own the phone outright) they might actually consider doing something about it. It's probably a lost cause, but it does aggravate me that they do this to their customers.

"Except the fact that we have root though and custom recovery. That seems good enough reason for me to unlock for a device that hasn't been released properly"

I am sorry, because I do not really understand, do we now have root oder don`t we?

I also do not understand the risk flashing SuperSu through twrp, what I did several times using other smartphones. (here I took CWM).

Could someone please explain this to me and probably others.
[E 2015 General] fix-this!:
yeah i spoke to soon, yes we have root and twrp now. at least for the lte models.
[E 2015 General] RioGrandeBlood:
As this seems to be an international forum :), it does not matter, if the lte model is an European, or an American one, right?

Do I understand this correctly I am located in Western Europe and now can start to root my Moto E 2015 lte with no significant risk compared to all the other phones I and many others rooted?

I will use this way:

unlock the bootloader (still necessary while using twrp and flashing supersu.zip?)

flash/boot twrp from here

either flash SuperSU by chainfire, or reboot system and accept installing supersu via TWRP.

Is this correct?
[E 2015 General] fix-this!:
honestly i do not know, i do know the firmware we have posted will not work with my us based lte gsm model. twrp and root both worked for me. the risk id assume would be a soft brick and no way to recover currently. im sure a dev can chime in with more specifics. i know id recommend the cdma based users hold off.
[E 2015 General] RioGrandeBlood:
What shall we do now? I think and hope that Chainfire comes out with an updated version of cf autoroot as he rooted many motorolas before. This could minimize the risk. And better wait...?
[E 2015 General] RioGrandeBlood:
Confirmed root in Germany

Unlocked with Motorola themselves. Logo. bin from Eugene.

Rooted with twrm and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from sd card, camera fully working SELinux Mode permissive, do not forget to reboot then. After a while the Moto E slows down, gets laggy the camera andSELinux as well as TB do not work anymore. Solution wipe cache, wipe dalvik, SELinux, restart.

Big thanks to chainfire.

[E 2015 General] dialanothernumb:
Just in case this is relevant to you; if you find on the Motorola site, that your bootloader can't be unlocked, you will not get a different result using this software. The software is simply a script which automates the standard moto way of checking for bootloader unlock. This is the same with Verizon Moto E 2015 too.
[E 2015 General] soxtober05:
So, if I'm understanding you correctly; you're saying that the software in general will run, but if it (the phone) CAN'T be unlocked, it (software) won't know how to respond (hang)?
[E 2015 General] dialanothernumb:
pretty much. It just automates Motorola's own procedure.. Have you tried the manual/Motorola way to unlock your bootloader?
[E 2015 General] Skitals:

Not every Moto E LTE can be unlocked, depending on your carrier. I know the Cricket and Verizon versions are ineligible for the unlock program. Don't feel left out though, I'm in the same boat!
[E 2015 General] TheWeirdedOne:
Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of the issue with Cricket and not being able to unlock the bootloader. So I'm currently stuck with the phone and beating my head against a wall over bootloader unlocking. I have one question that just came to mind while doing some research on Moto G Unlocking. According to Motorola, if your CID is a certain number, it will allow you to unlock. Mine is 0x0010 and therefore unlockable. My question is, Is there a way to change the CID of the device without first unlocking the bootloader and rooting?

Also, would changing the CID change the output of fastboot get_unlock_data?
[E 2015 General] brotherswing:
Changing the CID is a long process with a very high brick possibility, and you must start off rooted. You also need a donor phone with a valid CID to transfer. Then there's the detail that it's technically illegal in the US. You're better off to just wait for a workaround. Besides, other than adfree, I don't really miss root on this device. There wasn't any carrier bloat on mine.
