If you are new to Motorola this will be good news, you will be able to unlock your bootloader day one if you have the pure edition (maybe even the style will be available but this would depend on your carrier). The process is almost identical to the HTC unlock bootloader method.

Few things to note:

-This will probably void your warranty. User [MENTION=3928294]nikeman513[/MENTION] has reported his warranty says void on the Motorola website after unlocking his bootloader. But Motorola says it was a mistake and it will not void your bootloader. Confusing but it looks like we can unlock without losing warranty. Still unlock at your risk

-This has been tested by [MENTION=805355]Aftashok[/MENTION] and others and confirmed to work on the Pure Edition (Style has not been tested).

-Lastly I am not responsible for any issues you may find during the process, this is informational only and do it at your own risk.

NOTE: Keep in mind this will factory wipe your phone and you will have to set it up again.

Before you start go into settings ->about phone -> software info and rapid click the build number until you enable developer options. After that go into developer options and enable "oem unlock". Now you are ready to continue.

1. Install Motorola Driver

2. Download ADB (or google it if you want the pure tool and not a toolkit)

3. Power off your device (keep it unplugged from the PC at this point)

4. Power device back on while holding volume down and the power button for 5 seconds

5. Once you see the bootloader screen plug in your device to the PC

6. Navigate to the location where your ADB is installed in file explorer and hold the shift key and right click. Select "Open command window here"

7. Type "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" in command prompt

8. Copy the code that is shown and paste it in notepad (I always right click on the top of the window and click Edit->Mark then highlight the code and right click on the top again and do Edit->copy)

9. Go to Motorla's page and login/create an account.

10. Paste code and click "Can my device be unlocked"

11. Agree to terms and click "Request Unlock Key" this will send you an email

12. Once you get the email with your unlock code paste the following in command prompt "fastboot oem unlock YOURKEY" (no "'s and replace YOURKEY with the key they emailed you)

13. Now you have an unlocked bootloader and are ready to flash a custom recovery when it is ready.

(this is simply informative, this process is tried and true and the method Motorola set up for an unlock, I take no credit for any of this)
[X Style (Pure) General] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
So the phone comes out of the box in "locked" mode then?
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yes sir, you will have to unlock which is standard now days
[X Style (Pure) General] RyanTX:
And Verizon won't make it not unlockable?
[X Style (Pure) General] spotmark:
Don't see how they can do that, since they won't be selling it.

Pin this thread

This seems like just the kind of post that should be Pinned......

please
[X Style (Pure) General] oconnell84:
This is for the bootloader which is different than a carrier unlock.

Out of the box you will be able to activate this phone on any carrier.

If you wish to flash kernels, recoveries, etc then an unlocked bootloader is required.

Great man Thanks, Just way for mi device
[X Style (Pure) General] akellar:
Motorola's twitter support said they don't have info on whether or not moto x pure will be unlockable

Edit: p3droid stated it will be unlockable
[X Style (Pure) General] jbela1911:
If you purchased Motorola's accidental coverage plan I'm assuming this would be a bad idea then?
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
It has to be, the play and the G are unlockable there is no logical reason why this pure edition wont be.
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
That really depends. Sometimes you can do this and have no issues relocking. Assuming there isn't a counter and you can at least get the phone to power up. If they have some kind of counter then yes, its probably a bad idea.

Frankly I don't care for such insurance plans. Unless you're super accident prone. I've cracked exactly one screen in all the devices I've had and it was still usable. Hell its still a backup phone if my current one goes tits up. Then again I'm also not afraid to get in there and replace a screen on my own making $75 up front much less attractive. Would take two breaks to pay for itself. Buddy of mine dropped his S6 the day he got it while sitting on the crapper at best buy. Screen went buh bye. YMMV :P
[X Style (Pure) General] URPREY:
The Moto G I got for my daughter was not unlockable when I followed the bootloader unlock process.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Did you order it from motorola directly? Was it unlocked? You may want to head over to the moto g forums for assistance. I will remove that note from the OP if it does not work but the Moto X Play works for sure. This pure edition should work and we will confirm it in a couple of days as the devices arrive.
[X Style (Pure) General] URPREY:
Yes, unlocked direct from Moto Maker. I can check over in the forums but when I pasted the output into Moto's site it said that bootloader unlocking was not supported on the device.

I'll try again later.
[X Style (Pure) General] co.ag.2005:
just an fyi, Clocks over at AC Forums asked moto support and they mentioned bootloader unlocking will not void warranty. fwiw..

[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
cool, yeah standard stuff but it is good to be warned.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
So I wonder if it'll be the same as unlocked a Nexus? Just enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings and fastboot oem unlock.

Either way mine will be unlocked the day it arrives!
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah same with HTC they say they "may" void your warranty but you still have a chance for them to service your device if needed. I'm not worried. Flash power is worth it

[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
[MENTION=2657131]joshw0000[/MENTION] also there are ways to hide your unlock notification on boot so chances are they wont notice
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
Yea on HTC you just flash a image that's written to look like stock and get rid of that developer text on boot.

Not so sure about Moto. I believe the last Moto I unlocked (aside from the N6) blew an efuse. But if we're going to a website for a token, like some Asus and HTC devices, they'll have documentation of that device being unlocked. It's just a matter of whether or not they care.

We'll know soon enough.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
On the play addition they simply replace the boot animation or something like that. So it should be a 2 second fix lol, oh btw seems like yesterday we were trying to get a dev a G4 so we could use flashify, I think we finally found a solution for the G4 :P
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
Watch development go crazy on the G4 forum once everyone gets MXP's! I'm going to hang on to my G4 for at least a little while. I think I'll let go of the M9 though.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
lol maybe, still updates will suck through LG so it will be better here. Good phone but I'll pass
[X Style (Pure) General] cogeary:
Hey guys, I just wanted to clarify any unsureness that might have still been out there, so I got online with a Moto rep. The rep confirmed that the bootloader is unlockable and your warranties are safe.

[X Style (Pure) General] jbela1911:
Thanks! That's awesome news.
[X Style (Pure) General] bajasur:
Verizon tends to lock these devices down pretty hard.. for you Verizon folks I hope you are allowed to unlock this go round!

Baja
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Unlock before you put the verizon sim in it. Not sure how they could block it. Only way i could tell is if verizon checks the device for unlocked bootloader before activating... only way I could imagine
[X Style (Pure) General] BladeRunner:
They don't. They didn't with the Dev edition phones from Moto and Samsung nor with the unbranded version of the Nexus 6. Every one should be good to go to unlock the bootloader before or after activating it with Verizon
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Verizon can't do anything to stop it fortunately.
[X Style (Pure) General] Aftashok:
can now confirm that bootloader unlock method works. have to enable Developer Options, then Enable OEM Unlock, then use the method found in the thread, and it works like a charm.
[X Style (Pure) General] zeroibis:
Unlockable via ABD, it was worth waiting 6 years for this to return. (still on Droid 1)

[X Style (Pure) General] Bootup:
Its been mentioned and confirmed twice in this thread that it doesn't...

Can you relock it if you unlock?

lol rough, will add a reminder to the OP for everyone else
[X Style (Pure) General] :
I'm sure someone else will appreciate it ha-ha. But thanks for the guide it worked perfect!

Also make sure to enable oem unlock in the developer settings. Before following the steps.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
thanks will update!
[X Style (Pure) General] DarthSudo:
I know that there are several posts that show chat windows with Moto Support confirming that the warranty won't be void. IMHO, that does not 100% confirm warranty is still valid. The best way is for someone who has unlocked to go to motorola.com --> My Stuff --> View My Stuff and confirm that it still shows as in warranty.

Can one of you take a look and let us know? Thanks!
[X Style (Pure) General] emoney3265:
Thank you so much. I just got this today. The process was easy and I'm relieved to know the warranty is still valid. They sure do like to make it seem like you're handing over your warranty when you get the unlock code though. Can't wait to get root privileges.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Mine does show the phone as out of warranty. Oooh well!
[X Style (Pure) General] nikeman513:
Wowwww really? Someone needs to figure this out then, because that means those people lied and costs a lot of people some serious dough jf their phone malfunctions...
[X Style (Pure) General] WilliamStern:
I'm a Mac guy, and was wondering if someone can post steps on how to unlock the bootloader using a Mac? Thanks in advance.
[X Style (Pure) General] pinoymutt:
I really hope that the whole "out of warranty" status is reversed, as that will suck if it really does put it out of warranty, especially since this is supposed to be considered a "developer device" (which according to their own T&Cs are not voided by unlocked bootloaders)
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
I contacted them about it so I'll report back. It said it can take up to 7 days though.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
I confirmed with Motorola that unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty on this phone. They informed me that despite last years Pure being a dev edition, this year's is definitely not. I'd have unlocked it regardless but oh well!
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
It would be the same just install ADB for mac and the mac motorola drivers
[X Style (Pure) General] Casen:
What about the Moto Care protection? Is that also voided?
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
I did ask and she said I could still get it, but it would only cover physical damage. I don't trust chat reps much at all (obviously several said unlocking wouldn't void warranty) so I'm going to check in to it more today.
[X Style (Pure) General] Casen:
Well here's to hoping. I already ordered one for my wife and I was waiting to see if it could be unlocked and such before I got one for me I really didn't want to lose the warranty either.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Ya, I'm not too thrilled about it but I did get the phone because my Verizon S6 was super locked down so I guess I can't complain much. I'll let ya know what I find out about Motocare.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

Can you check your registered devices on Motorola to see if your warranty is still intact? Mine isnt but I'm not sure if its just an error.
[X Style (Pure) General] jrbxx7:
If you are that worried about your warranty an unlocked device is not for you. Its been that way forever. And even being unlocked moto has been one of the best for still fixing broke devices that were unlocked...

[X Style (Pure) General] jrbxx7:
Yes it is time for beer. All I'm saying is you won't have a definite answer until u try to send it in. Even if a rep says its still covered I wouldn't set it in stone because we know how accurate reps are. But moto has been good about covering there devices in the past. Have a good Friday.

[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
I got ya. Have a good Friday as well!
[X Style (Pure) General] pinoymutt:
I think that was defnitely true in the past, but in recent years companies like HTC and (dare I say Oneplus) changed this perception by actually blessing bootloader unlocking, and while still communicating risks, did not invalidate warranties.

In fact Moto themselves give their explicit blessing for dev phones (of which the 2014 Pure is considered one) -- people are just asking Moto to come out and confirm whether or not the 2015 is considered a dev edition or not.

I personally understand the risks of unlocking my phone (and have done it for years on all my phones), but it would be nice to have extra peace of mind that I can do it with the manufacturer's blessing.
[X Style (Pure) General] blanco112:
Just remember that Mac commands in terminal start with "./"
[X Style (Pure) General] zeroibis:
Yes the OG Droid. It has lasted with the OC I gave to the CPU and held up fine over the years. I did need to give it a new keyboard sticker earlier this year though.
[X Style (Pure) General] Casen:
What does your OG DROID even look like?

Can you show your home screens and menus and such?

Does Google now work?

How about Hangouts?
[X Style (Pure) General] Sporttster:
Well, I was a Moto guy for awhile. Had the OG and then Razr Maxx, then went to Sammy Note 3, and now it appears I'm headed back to Moto! Great news this unlocked bootloader deal. Just fantastic news. It has been a incredible pain doing anything ROM wise with the N3 because of the locked BL. Think I'll be buying a Moto X here soon.......happy days are here again, la la la laaa....
[X Style (Pure) General] elitemeat:
When I post the code into the motorola website, it gives me the message:

"Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I'm an idiot, need to read directions on the Moto website.
[X Style (Pure) General] Casen:
Are you sure you're copying the text from your phone 100% correct?
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
I realize this is a legitimate issue for some people. One thing I've realized after many devices is that if I root and mess with the device I run the risk of losing warranty support. Worth it for me. I remember some devices having a trip counter on the bootloader and early root / recoveries would trip it while later methods would not. If its important to you, wait. If its not then carry on.
[X Style (Pure) General] :
When I did this the first time it put in spaces in the code that were not suppose to be there make sure your remove the spaces.
[X Style (Pure) General] Casen:
All right. According to Motorola support, this will void the warranty. Have fun!
[X Style (Pure) General] :
Not an issue for me... I bought the phone with every intention to unlock / root / mod or use it how I please :) 400.00 is a lot but not worth stressing over...
[X Style (Pure) General] chipstien:
I could care less about the factory warrantee. I want to know about motocare. Because if it voids motocare then I will cancel it and go with squaretrade which has been flawless in the two times I've used it.
[X Style (Pure) General] jal3223:
It depends on what time you ask apparently. I asked through chat a couple of hours ago and the rep told me that it wouldn't void the warranty. Who knows at this point. I did print the conversion out though just in case.
[X Style (Pure) General] cyris69:
I'm honestly not worried about the warranty, I would like to be able to use xposed asap for xprivacy. Though it seems when Marshmellow gets out there we can fine tune app permissions. I'll hold off for a 100% response or until something ROM wise feels needed.
[X Style (Pure) General] zeroibis:
I do not use either of those apps. In order to ensure that things kept running on it correctly it was important to keep updates on most apps to a very minimum. So I only update apps manually and often end up restoring an older version. Back in the OG days many apps were free with no adds and worked great and then they future updated only added ads or took away features to try to sell them back to me. The more common apps I use are things more like telnet and server monitors along with things like flight track and currency converter. Maps and navigation work fine but maps is still version 6.14.5.
[X Style (Pure) General] Casen:
Wow, that's incredible. Well, enjoy your new phone!
[X Style (Pure) General] PiousInquisitor:
Still using launcher pro? That was one of the first apps I purchased.
[X Style (Pure) General] zeroibis:

If I'm not mistaken, back in the day, we used to temporary root, with stock recovery (yes I know reboot takes it away), use root explorer and pull it manually. Is that still possible?

I even have it on Amazon for $460 that's just a $30 more than it costs me. I have to account for Amazon fees... Blahhh!!! I want to root and unlock this!!
[X Style (Pure) General] Hashbang173:
Not sure if kingroot would work to root this device. As soon as I either get the boot.img or the kernel source for the Moto X Pure, TWRP should come shortly :D
[X Style (Pure) General] :
Have tried already ;) no luck
[X Style (Pure) General] pinoymutt:
They haven't been released yet. They have them posted for the gen 1 and 2 x pure and dev editions.

As mentioned before, they probably won't ever officially post for the g or play because they are not considered dev devices.

Hopefully the new style/pure gets the official dev classification and they will post them.
