Pure Edition Owners Please Help Trying to Unlock VZW and ATT Moto X 2nd Gen

Those of you who own Pure Edition Moto X 2014, if you could help me with some info from your devices it may give insight into unlocking the VZW and AT&T Moto X 2014.
If you could, run fastboot oem get_unlock_data and let me know if the first part of the bootloader unlock data (BUD) before the first # is your IMEI followed by a zero or something else. You don't need to tell me your IMEI of course, just whether or not the first part is your IMEI or your IMEI plus some number and if so, is the number zero?
Or is the first part of the BUD your MEID followed by 2 zeros? You don't need to tell me your MEID of course, just whether or not the first part is your MEID or your MEID plus some numbers and if so, are the numbers zero?
Thanks so much to all who help!!!!!!
Just wanted to emphasize again that I am not asking anyone for their IMEI or MEID. If you can help, I would really appreciate it!!
I was flashing kitkat back onto my Moto X today, thought I would try this since I was in the bootloader anyways.
It was not my IMEI followed by a number. I don't have an MEID.
I doubt it would be something that obvious anyways.

Thanks! When you say you don't have a MEID, do you see an IMEI SV in your settings? Do you have a SIM card in your device?
So is the first part of your BUD not related to the IMEI at all?

I do have an IMEI SV, but I see nothing about an MEID. I do have a SIM in my device. The MEID field was blank when I did a fastboot getvar all as well.
Yeah, I don't see any correlation between the first part of the BUD and the IMEI.

Conflicting S7 edge version?

Sorry beforehand if there is a thread on here about this but I bought a S7 edge on ebay and I thought I was getting the SM-G935U version. I got sent a SM-G935P but here's my problem... The G935P is the sprint version. It even starts the hands free activation all the time but I was trying to get it on tracfone but the sim card is invalid, so I called sprint and had them run the IMEI but they couldn't find it on their system... I ran the IMEI through IMEI info and it came back as as G930F Galaxy S7 (SM-G935P). Which when I google it, I found a thread here that says the G930F is an international unlocked version but the G935P is a sprint. My Question are, (1) what the hell do I have cuz I tried running the IMEI through all the carriers BYOP and all said not able to use. (2) If i have something useable what carrier can I use? Thanks for any help... edit I found that straight talk has the s7 edge on their network so could i get this working on it?
Just put your sim card in and flash the G935U firmware
Sounds like you got a sprint model that had a imei repair done to it

S8 G950FD - Dual Sim

Hi,
Recently I bought a used S8 with a box, I have been enjoying the phone too much after moving from a laggy LG G6, according to the model number its a dual sim phone so I thought of checking the IMEI number, as its a dual sim phone it should have 2 different IMEI numbers but in this case it has only one IMEI on both IMEI 1 & 2. I want to know whether it is normal or whether the IMEI has tampered. Plus the model number written on the back is G950F whereas on the phone it shows G950FD.
Help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Boot to download mode and whatever it says there is what it is. My guess is it's a G950F with FD firmware
I have Dual Sim S8 and it have two different IMEI numbers.
