I have a moto x pure pre release phone. It was a model that was issued before the initial release of moto x pure. I have tried to get the unlock code with no success. I get a failed error message. I have tried this on windows 10 and Linux. I can successfully recognize the device on fastboot and adb. However, no unlock code. I am now thinking somehow the phone is locked and unable to get this code. I'm thinking about selling this phone and getting a new one. I would like any feedback if you think I will have the same issue or if the pre release may be locked.

Was it a pre-release version? My guess is no.
Did you go into settings and flip the unlock switch? Hard to help when you don't list the steps you took to unlock.

I installed Android sdk and Motorola driver. Then enabled USB debugging and checked OEM unlock. Then booted into bootloader. Then typed fastboot OEM get_unlock_data. Then it fails to get information.

It is special phone specifically designed to show off the phone before launch.

They won't help with unlocking my bootloader. They just refer to a website on how to do it. I have told them I believe something is wrong with the phone but they don't want to help with this. I think I am going to just give up and sell the phone and cut my losses.
So why dont you actually follow the process for Bootloader unlock on Moto's Site?

Did you try flashing the stock factory images in fastboot, then rebooting and trying the process once more? You could have an odd boot loader version or something.

Ok we have gain unlock bootloader now and that is wonderful for future playing , but how can we go back to locked bootloader (or trick), so we take again the official update from SEUS (I know about the Bi4ary's flash tool, but here in XDA we want all the options available ). After the unlocking when you try to update your phone you take an error massage: "The software on this phone has been altered or modified" and after that it doesn't let you (SEUS) to update your phone!!
Let's try to find a way!!!!

That's mean no way to get back official update?
SEUS has the ability to check for unlocked/locked bootloader. OTA Update won't work either because DRM keys have been wiped in the unlocking process. You can still get updates but these will have to be done through FlashTool.
You'd have though that SE would have mentioned this in the blurb!!.. swines. I'd like to relock the BL to get the SEUS updates when they come out.. although I can live with using flashtool I guess.
Completely going off topic here but I just watched the vid on ur signature iceman and it slayed me.
I'm going to start a new thread in the wrong section just to express my opinion about it!!
Back on topic. I think SE should have defiantly let us know that there was no way back! Honestly though, once the custom ROM's start appearing, are you going to be that bothered?

going to find an alternative to locked the bootloader again. Reflashing the stock firmware doesn't help
SE reckon you don't need to re-lock it - as long as you have stock FW and stock bootloader then you should get the updates via SEUS.
I take it that once im unlocked there is no way back if the phone has a problem and needs to be sent off for repair

This process has been done with the HTC International version available in Australia.
Im sure everyone would appreciate follow up from others to confirm which versions of the phone this process works with.
The process below assumes a small amount of familiarity with HTC unlock process AND WILL WIPE THE DATA FROM YOUR PHONE!
The process is basically the same as ever with a few variations
Install adb
Go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and sign up, click unlock bootloader
In the device selection drop-down select "any other supported device"
Boot into "Download Mode" - Which is the equivalent of fastboot. (shutdown your phone, hold power+volume down until you boot into this mode). This is the mode with the black background and red text
Connect phone to PC, and issue "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
Copy the code into the returned by adb into space on HTCs website
Get the email, download the attachment and issue "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
I'll wait for a S-OFF method
You won't need htcdev, your phone won't be registered over there.
Always good to know we can root the new flagship

By being patient... the device is not even available in most regions yet, give developers a little time would you.
For Verizon test M9's, can't even pull identifier token. Fastboot command yields "FAILED (remote: unknown command)," which is interesting because I used fastboot to successfully flash TWRP then root.

Or you can give the Phone to a shop / repair centre to s-off it
In Germany you can do it at:
http://www.gsm-europe.de/epages/635...3/Products/htc_soff/SubProducts/htc_soff-0001
Its a shop in Berlin they do s-off and supercid
And they can do it on the Onde M9
Only bad thing they cant Unlock bootloader it without HTC Dev.
So You get your phone back with S-Off and with Super Cid but Boodloader is Locked and you must Unlock it via HTC dev
because for Unlock via Fastboot you need root on Android 5
I remember when I first unlocked the bootloader on the M7, I lost a couple stock apps. If anyone's tried the official HTC-DEV unlock method yet, are all apps intact?

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?
will moto g4 xt1625 amazon bootloader ever get unlocked??

If you're moto G4 is non-amazon version you can do it without any problem..
I just ordered the amazon version last week and had no problem unlocking it. I think Motorola stopped giving unlock codes for the amazon version for a while. That must have changed cause like I said I had no problem as well as others I read about in another thread
For mine a week ago and had no problems. On g4 play i did i messed up the numbers and it said it couldn't be unlocked but when i for them right it unlocked right away.
I'm one of the originals and I still can't unlock (when with I received a replacement under warranty)
I only can hope that I'm entering the value wrong but I don't think that is the case.

Hi,
So I recently got my hands on this new phone, and the blimming phone won't unlock. I'm using the XT1700!!! Not E3 Power!. It's on TESCO UK, and the System Version is "23.0.XT1700_S303_160829_UK". Yes, in developer options, OEM Unlocking is ticked! Tried two PCs, different drivers, different cables... idk.
I get the output on my phone to unlock with both "flashing unlock_critical" and "oem unlock"; both say "Unlock failed, returning to fastboot in 3s..."
This is the output in CMD:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock

My E3 XT1700 was purchased from Tesco but its sim free, not locked to tesco.
I'm pretty sure if you read elsewhere in the unlock bootloader thread, the S303 firmware DOES NOT allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
My E3 is S124 firmware, although I have been running Lineage OS 14.1 (android 7.1.2) on it for some time.

Its really not worth the hastle.
S124 isn't available anywhere to download unless you pay for it, but you got to unlock the bootloader before you can flash it, as its only available as a TWRP back up.
I lost my IMEI number doing that and had to flash an S131 E3 power firmware and reflash my IMEI which wasn't easy at all.
I've just checked and S303 and S512 are indeed bootloader locked.

Not unless you find one if these "one click root" apps via PC that supposedly magically root.
Its a shame these bootloaders cannot be advertised as not unlocking compatible, it would have saved you a lot of trouble.
Do try everything although to be fair, I've not seen anyone post about unlocking those two firmwares.
