DISCLAIMERS:
Please note you may not make any specific restrictions or requirements that are in contradiction with those listed in the OP. By making a post with your contribution amount you are agreeing to pay out based on all terms listed in OP only and nowhere else.
If you do not explicitly state separate prices for root access or bootloader unlock bounties, your pledge of the same price will be applied to the first such event. The list of pledges shall be for Bootloader Unlock -OR- Root Access, whichever is achieved first shall be applicable.
Please be advised that if Verizon or Motorola is to release an official method of unlocking the bootloader (extremely unlikely but must be accounted for) prior to any member of XDA's submission, this bounty automatically becomes invalidated.
Please do not PM me a pledge, they will not be counted. Post your pledges (or update them) in this thread only.
Many thanks in advance to all who are willing to contribute, regardless of amount. As we all know, being an exclusive device to Verizon, developer support and interest will probably be a bit limited, so the more people we can get to pledge, the better! Please only make a pledge if you intend to actually follow through with it (assuming a developer comes through for us). There have been a number of past bounties in which a developer spent the time and effort working on a phone and when it came time to collect, a substantial number of contributors failed or refused to follow through with their donations. That only gives the whole process a bad name and discourages future development on finding exploits for the rest of us!

I was wondering how long it was going to take for 1 of these threads to pop up.

How I root this phone?
hi =) well you have 2 options... you can root it after unlock the bootloader, or root it without unlocking the bootloader. I think this firmware is rootable without the unlocking...
Unlocking bootloader is simply the way to free your phone to install customized roms (like cyanogenmod), and unfortunately SE phones comes with their boot locked.
SE itself provides instructions to unlock the bootloader, but once done, you will lose the DRM (digital rights manager) from trackid and other sony applications on your phone. I've researched the forum and found that there's a safe way to unlock the bootloader using SETool. You can contact Jinx13 here in the forum if you want to. It's a paid method, but at least you'll have an unlocked bl still with the DRM files.
Well, here are some links in the forum that will be useful for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299729
And here a video of how the unlocking paid method is done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-Vubgka1M
You might think that those testpoint stuff are crazy and dangerous, but they're simple. There are special methods to turn on your phone to your computer, as that one you have to keep the "back" button pressed while plug the USB. The testpoints are just like that..

Hello I just purchased this beauty and it has an unlocked bootlader. I really use Google Pay a lot and would like to relock the bootloader. The problem is that I only have a chromebook and no laptop, can this be done without a PC?
Perhaps I have to shell out $35 restocking fee
I just got G7 from Best Buy and it's open market model. I ran fastboot command (fastboot oem get_unlock_data) and successfully retrieved required data, but after I sent the data, I got a return: "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
Isn't the model sold by Best Buy open market?
Update: read #3 reply.
Now unlock data is accepted.
i just got mine yesterday too. its possible they didn't add it to the list yet. it was just released yesterday. either that or you entered the commands wrong.
I resubmitted same code today, and now it's accepted.
OEM unlock code should be delivered through email in few hours.
What's the point of unlock the bootloader? I mean I Know if root but you broke the option to update the phone

The G7 should still get OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader. My Moto G5S Plus does (did).
Mine gets updates but i can't install any of the updates...same thing with my Moto Z3 play ...i got the updates but i cannot install the update...
You will not be able to install OTA after it's rooted. You have to install full ROM and patch boot.img within and root again
Alternative method: if you have "the current" version full ROM, just flash the original boot.img and install OTA, and regain root using the method above with the latest full ROM
Can the new moto 7 be rooted (and if necessary unroofed). Otherwise what benefit is derived from merely unlocking the bootloader?

You can do some root-ish things once you've unlocked the bootloader and still not be rooted. It will probably mess up your OTA updates, though, if you're not careful. I unrooted my Moto G5S Plus and flashed back to stock so I could take the Oreo OTA and security updates. I had planned on re-rooting it afterward, but then decided not to since I can't get any 3rd-party ROMs working on Sprint anyway. But what I did do was use ADB to edit the build.prop (for wifi hotspot and Camera2 API), which was the only reason I was still rooting Moto phones anyway.
Hi, I need to send my p smart to huawei service due to battery problems.
My phone is rooted with bl unlocked and, it seems, my warranty is void.
If I remove root and relock my bl, my phone will be accepted regardless of the rooting?
Unfortunately no, because the bootloader status is RElock, not lock. Lock bootloader with DC Unlocker, because the program lock bootloader and change status to lock with 4 euro
Ok thanks, that actually seemed the only way.
If I use dc unlock to lock the bl, do you know if it makes my unlock code unusable for a future unlock and root? I mean, if I want to root my phone again, can I use the standard procedure (using my unlock code, twrp and so on) or do I have to use necessarily DC unlock?

if have to dig this up. i can't relock my bootloader for some reason. is there an up to date method? flashed official through erovery. bootlocker and frp are unlocked atm.
Hello,
I have a brand new TA-1116, on Android One 10.
Of course i'd love to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root it.
It's unclear for me what i should do:
1) downgrade to DRG237B firmware (Anyone can confirm my TA1116 can use this downgrade without risk ?) to go to Orea 8.1
2) order an unlock code (where, please ? i found unlocklocks.com but i don't see the price).
3) go into dev mode to toggle unlock bootloader (mandatory ?)
4) fastboot flash unlock <my_unlock_file>
5) install TWRP fastboot flash recovery <twrp latest>
6) flash magisk from twrp for systemless root
Any advice is welcome
If you can root without Magisk, i'd like too. I need to run titanium backup and get rid of that BABE app (??? wtf Nokia ???) and more apps i don't need.
Thank you VM !
Answer: the downgrade is not possible without unlocked BL.
The unlock service does not need to go back to 07/2018, it is a matter of minutes and everything is left unlocked. Yay !

Hello,
I am very happy when seeing this post. Can you help me to unlock bootloader & root for the Nokia 6.1 plus TA-1116.
My last security patch is 2020-07
Thanks,
Bootloader unlock isn't officially or in a free manner supported, it's a paid service, join the telegram community for the device there are bl unlockers for different time zones contact anyone with your timezone for the service it's approx $6-7
Do not hover over random sites there's been only one site from the beginning that I can't mention here, bootloader unlock and other services, get this job done over telegram and save yourself the hassle.
