How do I identify a Developer Edition? - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to this part of XDA, so please let me know if I'm breaking any etiquette rules here. Thanks for any help in advance.
Is there any way to tell a developer edition phone from a consumer edition phone (other than attempting to unlock the bootloader)?
I'm asking because a friend recently purchased a Droid Razr M on Verizon (from a possibly rather shady Verizon dealer who may have confused SIM unlock with bootloader unlock). In the Settings app, I can see a "Developer Options" section. Is that supposed to be there in the consumer edition?

Developer options is present on all Android devices. The developer edition is identical physically. Contact Motorola with your imei and they should be able to tell you...or you could attempt bootloader unlock

It (and this is just a wild shot in the dark - don't quote me on it) may have a different FW version code. I have no idea if it would...

The only reason I thought it might be a developer version was the Developer Options; I have no other reason to think so. So I'm going to assume it's a regular consumer edition. Thanks for the help!

There is no ambiguity at all about this as the Developer Edition has a logo on the bottom of the back cover that says "Developer Edition".
The firmware is identical for both models.

Easiest way to tell is look at the back. Below is a pic of mine. Dev editions also only come in black.

unlock code from ebay for TEN FREAKIN DOLLARS
Visit mobileincanada.com and pay them $20 to unlock your phone.
unlock is very easy. just do like the above two poster advised. no way to unlock for free unless u no someone that can do it.
reply above,
but why iphone can unlock by anyone,there must have any toolkits but we just don't know for the moment
Can I flash the ROM to unlock the phone?
Well here's what you can do:
1) You can wait, wait, wait, and wait some mroe for someone to even attempt this
2) PAY THE TEN FREAKIN DOLLARS
Do you think that if there was a way to unlock this phone, it would have been in this forum by now? Or are you on to something that nobody else is aware of?
EDIT: this is the wrong forum for this crap anyway

its not an iPhone thats why, you're gonna pay either way just get it over with already.
In an attempt to be less rude than the other poster, here's the deal.
The unlock codes are held in a database on a server run by HTC.
There is no algorithm involved with the IMEI to figure out the code.
So getting it for free with some tool would be quite surprising and highly unlikely.
Flashing the ROM will not unlock the phone.
is there a way to unlock SFR HTC Magic ?
my problem
Hello,
i´m new here and my english not so good, but i hope, anyone can help me here.
I´m from germany and i have a Vodafone branded 32B Magic.
So i had my magic rooted and had a hero rom installed, but for some days i loaded the RUU Rogers on my phone. Now i lost my root, the language is only english and the magic have no drivers installed so i can´t go on market or to the mobile internet.
Many ways to delete the RUU or root this one failed.
When i used the cmd on my PC i make fastboot devices, then comes my serial number and fastboot, but when i will type the words fastboot boot recovery.....img in the next line, it comes : downloading ´boot.img´... FAILED <remote: not allow>
What can i make to become my root rights back so i can load a custom rom back on my phone?
Please can anyone help me?
To OP, can't you even read the thread for the weekly free offer?
I unlocked my Rogers Magic using information on this forum only. Unfortunately I cannot recall what exactly I did - too long ago.
Can anyone sent me the link where can i find the unlocking procedure for my phone

Try to remember, as im using the same phone.
thanks.
Get a non-Roger/non-fido SIM card. Stick it in the phone and it will ask you for an unlock code.

I wouldn't worry too much. Several of us has issues unlocking bootloader a few weeks ago, and the issue cleared itself up after a few days. Seems it takes some time for the serial numbers to get into the unlock system.
I would recommend that you go post on Motorola forums and let them know, though.
Sent from my XT1053
Heh... I hope so. Motorola support forums that I get to from Moto X page?
Try it again tomorrow. There's a delay for the unlock code to be populated to the database.
Just put in fastboot mode , do a fastboot getvar all and check that the cid returned is 9 .?

You can easily root your note 5 at this link
MOD Edit: Please do not direct traffic to your own ad infested blog to make money for you
Try all available rooting ways in this post ,maybe you will get your phone rooted ,or you can wait until i find the 100% working rooting way, and i will post it here .
This looks fishy
This does not work for me. Device gets not detected...
Fake
Need to wait for Chainfire to release autoroot for note 5 then...

Sorry for all,if it not working, but i updated my post with other rooting tools, Check it out please ,

you have to download Samsung drivers first for your not 5 from here or you can search it on xda forum And you have to enable usb debugging
I did, but it is stuck at "Detecting device".
I updated this post with another rooting tools
Any opinions regarding rooting Note 5....
... with respect to Sprint, T-Mobile vs AT&T and Verizon?
Will there be the same problems with Verizon and AT&T Note 5 with locked bootloader as there were with the Note 4s?
Based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016,
maybe all Note 5 versions will behave similarly, since it's just a knock-off off the Galaxy S6 ?!?
Any help appreciated a lot! - Looking to buy next Friday and Sprint is more expensive, but I need some chance of proper root in the not too distant future...

Not unless they find a brand new exploit. The ping ping root exploit has been closed and never open for business again.

NO.
You can't unlock the bootloader of the Verizon Droid Turbo 2. You CAN unlock the bootloader of the Moto X FORCE, which is the sibling "Kinzie"and is the same phone for other countries.
Blame Verizon. If you wanted bootloader unlock and root, you should research on XDA before you bought the phone. You bought the wrong Kinzie.

thanks for replying....
The Official Unlock Code
Did Verizon just provide me the bootloader unlock code?
so I had an interesting conversation with a Verizon rep (who was actually pretty knowledgeable) and told him the situation and why I wanted the unlock codes. He agreed that it was stupid to hold back the codes from device owners who would freely wave the warranty. He said he looked through all of their code files and found a bunch of codes for sim unlock or whatever, but nothing stating "Bootloader Unlock Code"....
However, he said he found a random code that might be what i'm looking for. I have no idea what this is for or what it does, so please don't use it and blame me if your device gets bricked.
Code: 3$450107071177452#5A5932323343504B575A0058543136335300000003AD1D7D7C1182295A7370E3D8337DAA4A450EDD1D1#3849A78220000000000000000000000
Edit: can anyone tell me if this code works, and what it does?
Ps: This a post from Reddit, just copy pasted here try this code if it works it would be beneficial for all of us turbo 2 owners
And what about now in 2020? someone know how to unlock bootloader for Moto Droid Turbo 2 verizon variant (Kenzie)?

Your device isnt supported for bootloader unlocking. It's that simple. You can't do anything about it.

Then it should unlock. Check the steps again and double check for anything missing. If it still doesn't work, you're gonna have to contact their customer service and request for an unlock. It is mandatory that they comply into helping, since this shouldn't be restricted to anyone.

You have a carrier device. They cannot be bootloader unlocked. Only unlocked/ straight from Motorola phones can bootloader unlocked.

Occasionally some people get a false not qualified message.
There are a few things you can try
There is a Alt entry method
Sometimes the website is just not working.
You can check to see if the CID is eligible.
Sometimes using a different device or internet connection works.
