Unlock Bootloader without Moto Site

I made excite? jajajja .... no, I have no way to unlock just open this topic to see if anyone knows how to unlock the devices that do not have developers edition

From what I understand you have an XT926 which can't be unlocked. Only the XT925 & XT926 dev edition can be unlocked through Motorola

I put the fastboot code into moto page but they say that my device not support bootloader unlock

Is that the only restriction? If a code is it, you could just use a fake code, or hex exit in a new code to the unlocking program.

I try about 20 times!!!!!!

If you have any apps frozen, unfreeze them and reboot and maybe that will work. If you've removed anything from withing /system, put it back and put the correct permissions and if you don't have those files (if there was anything deleted) then perhaps someone can provide them for upload, then give that a try.
Lastly, if you flashed a ROM that isn't from you carrier or your country, then perhaps using the appropriate tools (I haven't used them so can't point out what they are, other than to say they exist) to put the stock ROM back will allow you to unlock.
Last resort, you can try to get it replaced under warranty stating that you're a developer and need this feature, however if you're rooted I would guess that they'd would be a lot more inclined to check for that replacing a handset as rooting voids the warranty and unrooting, sadly, doesn't remove the info stored on the device that checks to see if the phone had been rooted in the past. You can unroot and if your countries laws are protective enough, though, you might be able to ask them to show how rooting the device caused the failure. In my case, the contract was signed with my carrier who has to be certified as a reseller and they never showed me any warranty documentation, so I was locked into the purchase of the handset over 24 months and am covered by the verbal details of the warranty, which were "everything but physical damage" since they unboxed it and handed it to me activated after I signed. It wouldn't be hard to cancel my contract and hand back the handset if I was refused a warranty repair on these grounds. That they opened the box without me asking is probably enough. That said, consumer protection is top notch in world here.
Short version of the last part though, you can always try a warranty replacement. You'd have to look into if there's a fee in the case that you weren't covered by the warranty. As long as the bootloader is unlocked (and you aren't rooted), you still have you're warranty since the code didn't activate, and I haven't read the page thoroughly enough, but if the page says receiving the code voids the warranty then you can still argue that it was defective prior to receiving it by citing that the code didn't work. If you can unroot, and you live somewhere that the issue of the evidence of your root, or whatever, can be easily turned over to a consumer protection body, then it might be worth the trouble.
Also, you can probably call and ask for a new code. Any way you go about doing any of the above though though, be persistently polite. It goes a long way over trying to be forceful.
I'm likely about to unlike my phone by the way, assuming I can find a ROM that looks appealing enough to try out. I'll try it with the multitude of frozen system apps and the handful of additional ones still in place, first, and see how it goes.

If you're on JB then you need to downgrade to ICS using the appropriate ROM for your carrier, use a tool to root, download an app that will allow you to bakcup the root and unroot the device, then upgrade to ICS, then reinsert the root. The instructions are scattered because there's 2 differant models of the phone to deal with and there isn't any consolidated thread that involves all those steps. I haven't had to downgrade and have a differant model than what the maxx version is so that's really as much help as I can be, but the answer is supposedly "yes, you can do this" and its the prefered way for a lot of people from what I gather.
Be sure to backup any data on your sdcard before you begin. I didn't lose any since mine was just keeping root on an OTA upgrade from ICS to JB, but I don't know if you lose it or now when you downgrade.
Hopefully someone else can be more helpful that what I was. There are threads where various carrier versions for both ICS and Jellybean are hosted, as well, so you'lle need to find your carrier's ICS. If it isn't available in the thread then search my posts and someone linked me off to a download for a Telstra ROM and further back in the URL revelealed hosting a heap of ROMS though I wouldn't know which one you would need specifically.
The only issue I ran into, though my experience is possibly only covering half of what's involved for you, was that after I reinserted root, only apps that had permission prior to the upgrade had root permission; I couldn't add any. Other people have had a problem with superuser being inserted with wrong file permissions. The thing I did was to update the binary, this didn't work, then installed SuperSu and updated the binary which also didn't work, then I did a cleanup for installing another su app from the market from withing SuperSU... can't remember from this point, either installed another root app or uninstalled and reinstalled SuperSu (which scared the hell out of me I'd lose root at the time so I think this is what I did), then updated the binary and things were fine. Note that I never uninstalled the regular SU app that the injection tool for ICS put on the phone during this process though. At the end of it, I ended up with SuperSU and no normal su, which the injection tool installs. There hasn't been a huge issue with this though it has happened to some others.

[Q] Will bootloader unlock be permanent?

I am very happy and relieved that we will be getting a bootloader unlock. Im curious whether it is permanent or if it will be broken if say I decide to return to stock for whatever reason. Thanks. Iv read through most of the posts about it and still not sure

I would guess the stock images we get, when we do get them, will include the original bootloader. So, if you returned to stock for any reason I would assume you could simply use the same exploit to take control once again. Not sure about the idea of critical update ota's sent by carriers though.

Is that right?

Keep in mind that the Snapdragon 600 uses Qfuses, therefore any older/compromised version of the bootloader can be permanantly revoked through a software update (and won't ever run again on your phone if they do). Something to be careful of if you ever think of updating.

Only way to update safely will be to flash a updated ROM that a dev releases here after he mods it to be safe to run and keep the unlocked bootloader

Anyone that didn't replace it still has it on their phone, so the OP's request seems reasonable. ( @icedventimocha I replaced mine, so I can't help without starting over and re-rooting )

Kingo uses an "attack server" methodology based on the model of phone discovered. So, what you are looking for might be downloaded rather than initially present in the kingo PC .exe file (even though that .apk file is unlikely to be different from device to device)
If you want to search for it though, remember that .apk files are just a special form of .zip files, so the bytes you are looking for should start with a PKZIP magic number file header.

I thought I still had the superuser apk from rooting with kingo. I had lost root on a tf300t tablet a while ago and just got around to rerooting with kingo this time. the problem is that I already had all my root apps installed before rooting. what I see now is the superuser from chainfire. I plan on unrooting, factory reset and reroot sometime over the weekend - I cant do it before then. I will keep watch and get you the file if you still need it then. I am sorry for getting your hopes up prematurely.

Hi @icedventimocha
I guess I answered this question in the different thread. If you still have the downloadable Kingo installer app ("android_root.exe"), then what you are looking for is packed up inside there. My post gives (link above) gives you instructions how to unpack it.
Hopefully this response is not too late.

Devs @ XDA, come on champs gave us something, so can we also enjoy the privilege of CM12. Many are waiting for it fingers crossed
Mods/all, its only a humble request to Dev & not that if being annoyed.

Qualcomm patched the second layer (sbl2) of the second-stage bootloader, to take care of possible exploitation, effectively making it impenetrable. So for some individuals, we're pretty much out of luck. I wouldn't be sure of the possible exploits (the problem is, after that patch, it makes it even harder, although not impossible). Previous Kit Kat rooting exploitation relies on the permission requestion layer (futex) of the Linux kernel, as discovered by the former PS3 hacker, GeoHot, while it's patched by now. It's possible there is already a new rooting exploit by now, just don't hold the breath.

Can you please be more concretely?

I may not be up to date, been out of town for a bit, and figuring out a way to unbrick a few RAZR Ms.
However, the reason I said not to hold the breath is because of Verizon demanding a hard fix for rooting so that way almost any root exploits simply fail on arrival. This phone company also WANTS locked BIOS so no one can install custom recovery and OS "just because it put customer services in jeopardy".

That's really bad, can't believe that there is no chance to root or bootunlock this device.
By the way, do you know any way to disable/delete/freeze modem fast dormancy service without rooting phone? Or to made some changes in build.prop file?

Simply force close Modem fastdormancy first then disable it in app manager, it will then quit. And, editing build.prop requires root (write protection).

Force close works but disable button is inactive.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Ah, right.... I wonder why Verizon would disable some app manager features.

I'm outside of us, my carrier operates in gsm network and does not support fast dormancy, therefore phone reboots and can't wake up on power button when using h+. Thats why I need to edit build.prop and to dothis I need root access to file system.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Makes sense. However, I may look for new exploit, but since Futex is removed, it is not so simple.
