Here is a tutorial to unlock the bootloader on our Moto X Play: http://www.gammerson.com/2015/08/steps-how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-moto-x-play.html
The warranty is not there after this, is there any way to lock it again without Motorola being able to see that it was unlocked?

The unlocked bootloader warning message can easily be removed too: http://www.droidviews.com/remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-on-moto-x-and-moto-x-2014/ I tested it and it work on our Moto X Play.
Oops.....completely forgot that this will wipe the phone (as all devices do when unlocking the bootloader).

This will work even if it's a Moto X 2014 logo? I'm a little uneasy in doing this.

So far, hasn't caused any issues for me.
Worked for me too
If I just remove the message, won't the technical assistance be aware that I unlocked the bootloader?

They already know since you requested the bootloader unlock code. From the terms and conditions:
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL UNLOCKED DEVICES EXCEPT FOR DEVELOPER EDITION DEVICES. BY OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE FOR THIS DEVICE, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE DEVICE'S BOOTLOADER IS SUBSEQUENTLY UNLOCKED OR ITS SOFTWARE OR OPERATING SYSTEM IS MODIFIED, USER AGREES TO WAIVE AND VOID ALL WARRANTIES

Removing the message is more for us, so we don't need to keep seeing it.

Is unlocking for your device not dangerouse?

nope not dangerous, rather you can have more control over your device than Motorola gives you.

Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
Anyone please help me.
I tried to install the official OTA and something went wrong. The device got stuck into bootloops. I entered into bootloader and decided to unlock it. As adviced by the xda thread i followed the instructions, but after getting the Unique key via Email, when i enter "fastboot unlock OEM UNLOCKKEY", it gives an error saying Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
I cannot boot my phone.
Please help me.

i recall this problem happening to someone earlier, he solved it by clearing cache and factory wipe from recovery
bootloader>>recovery>>factory reset and clear cache

There is a thread I created for the first timers.
You have to check the option "allow oem unlock" in developer options.
Please check the whole forum for details before doing anything like this.

If you leave it unlocked after rooting then it can make your phone more susceptible to localised threats like someone stealing your phone and re-purposing it or stealing your data from it directly.
But for many the reward outweighs the risks and there are ways to mitigate.
Trying to unlock Moto X Play on Linux by using "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", but it just says waiting for device. I ran "adb devices" and also enable "Allow unlocking device" in the Developer menu. Am I missing something?
I am trying to unlock HTC 10 sprint bootloader this evening.
Already enabled developer options but oem unlocking is completely greyed out
Please what other options do I have?
I just installed the stock nougat (android 7) RUU because I was about to install the New ViperRom and also just noticed that its greyed out but its marked checked. Any luck figuring out issue?
FYI just searched and another thread said "Yes the option is grayed out on 7.0 if your bootloader is already unlocked."
My phone was already HTC dev unlocked by me when I was running 6.

Hello:
I am trying to follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader on my Sprint G900P Galaxy S5.
I installed the ADB SDK, the Samsung USB driver, turned on USB debugging on my phone, and connected it to my computer.
I typed adb reboot bootloader and the phone rebooted into a screen to download software to it.
Next, I typed fastboot oem unlock and I get a message on the screen < waiting for any device >
and it does nothing.
This is strange because obviously the computer was able to send the adb command to the phone so there is communication.
Why would is stop at the fastboot step?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil
Ummm dude your booloader is already unlocked since it's from Sprint. You just go into your Dev options and toggle on OEM UNLOCK and your all set

When I go to Developer Options, I do not see an OEM UNLOCK option. Any ideas?

It's most likely already unlocked.

I went to Google Play Store and installed the Root Checker by Clivin Inc.
When I ran the app, it says: Your device is not rooted
I am not sure where to go from here.

Hi,
Just wondering what are you going to achieve ...
1. Don't bother with any "oem unlock" options as there is no any in your phone model. Your bootloader is uncloked by default and that's it.
2. Rooting is different story - if you didn't root your device yet then the root checkers will tell you exactly this -> so you need to root your phone to get different reply

I did not realize that. Thanks for the info.
I used the SkipSoft Unified Toolkit to root the device.
Thanks,

I'm quite interested in buying this device (Nova 3i), but it's very important to me that i can root it.
I've noticed that the option "OEM Unlock" is not greyed out, and can be easily enabled, at least in the devices that are sold in my country.
So the question is:
Is it enought to enable "OEM Unlock" in "Developer Options" from the phone settings to unlock the bootloader and I can simply install TWRP afterthat?
Or do I still have to unlock it using unlock key from Huawei Website (which is unavailable)?
And if not, is there any other way to root it? Has anyone had luck in rooting it (e.g. Kingroot, etc)?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean how to get it enabled again?
Can you specify what all you have done to your device so far?

Hello, thanks for the reply.
LineageOS I wanted to install on the device according to the instructions (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts4lv/), unfortunately did not work, in the LOS forum I also asked for help, but none get useful help there. I enabled the developer option and unlocked OEM and enabled USB debugging. Then something went wrong with Odin
But now OEM is still enabled and the box is grayed out so I can't disable OEM again. But I want to disable OEM again, is there a tutorial?
Greetings Varusch

You would need to re-lock the bootloader. If the bootloader is unlocked, OEM Unlocking remains grayed out with the message "Bootloader is already unlocked"
However, if you want to install a custom ROM, you need to leave your bootloader unlocked.
What problem did you have with LineageOS? If you have TWRP installed on your device, it should be easy to flash a GSI.

GSI = Generic SYSTEM Image. You would flash it to /system and use it with the stock kernel.
