I only see the 32GB option.
Edit: Now i get 64GB. Niiice!

Well that sucks, earlier I got in on the Moto X for a penny trial thing, would have been nice to have had this one as an option.

This should have been available from the beginning.

Excited to see this, but it jumps to 499 at checkout and there isn't a 64GB developer edition. It kinda gives me a reason to get a custom one I guess. I'm also under the impression that this means that X+1 is going to take longer to release than I thought or Motorola has a buttload of MotoX shells to get rid of still. I gotta see how much I can sell my Developer edition for and I guess I'll decide to either jump on this or wait for the next one.
Edit. I went back to see if they fixed the checkout and realized that it isn't an error. $449 is for republic wireless. I guess they are subsidizing it slightly.

The Moto design site starts out at $449 for the 64gig version, then the select carrier page bumps you up to $499 for the GSM Unlocked version. What's that about?

It's $50 cheaper for the Republic Wireless version. Same for the 32 and 16GB versions too. It's been that way from the beginning I believe.

From what I have read the T-Mobile version can be rooted just as easily as the GSM Dev Edition. Unlocking the bootloader on the T-Mobile phone voids the warranty, unlike on the GSM Dev Edition. Other carriers may have the X locked down more.

Motomakers are what these are...no? I was sure they can't be unlocked.
And definitely republic wireless can't be.

I'm waiting on the 64GB unlocked GSM version from the 2 week trial. The unlocked gsm is the same as the T-Mobile version and the bootloader can be unlocked.

So, correct me if I'm wrong: the GSM unlocked version (which still made me choose the AT&T/T-Mobile option to get the unlocked version) can or can not be rooted? I know it can be bootloader unlocked, at least according the Motorola bootloader unlocking page (I chose the T-Mobile version there and it shows as bootloader unlockable).
I mean, it's entirely possible that these trial phones will have their specific IMEI numbers (if you ordered one for the 14 day trial) added to some other entirely different internal blacklist that won't let us unlock them for the trial period, that's my concern.
I fully intend to do everything possible with this phone when I get it - that's what a trial period is for, and when it's shipped back (if it doesn't live up to my expectations) they can easily just reset it in a few minutes time (bootloader locked, restored to factory state, even alter the IMEI and program it with an entirely new one if they want, it's their damned device).
As long as I know it can be rooted and then bootloader unlocked so I can play around with some ROMs, I'm cool with that and could decide to keep it. If not, then I'll just toy with it and send it back - again, it's just a penny so it's not like I'm breaking the bank or anything.

They could see you unlocked the bootloader and send it back to you and charge you. If unlocking voids warranty, which it does on anything that's not a dev edition, then it may affect returning it too.
A possibility anyway.

It depends on the carrier.
Verizon and ATT moto makers can't be unlocked. You are right, Replublic Wireless can't be unlocked.
However, Sprint and the "GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM)" variants can be. Some other carriers can too.

If you do anything that voids the warranty while you are "trying it for $.01" they will likely refuse return.
If you are buying a Moto Maker X, unlocking its bootloader DOES void the warranty just by completing the action of requesting the code from Moto. You are submitting unique info to Moto about the phone you are unlocking, so expect they will know you have requested the unlock code.
And as for Moto can"easily" re-lock the bootloader, it depends on if its an eFuse or not. Using mFastboot, we can get the bootloader status to unlock and relock, not LOCK. If its an eFuse, moto likely can't set it back to lock without replacing components.

Can you get a developer edition for a penny? If so you do keep warranty for unlocking. I cannot verify whether or not they will accept the return, for that I would call Motorola and request confirmation in writing that they will accept the return even if you unlock the boot loader. If yes, get it, test it, if you like it send it back and order the Moto Maker one you want.

The "Try Then Buy" FAQ clearly stated that the regular non-Moto Maker version, the Moto Maker version, and the Dev Edition were all supposed to be available for that offer but I tried several times to get the Dev Edition and each time I punched in the promo code they sent me, it wouldn't apply the discount and the price remained $449 and change. After maybe 5 attempts, I decided to contact them using their "instant chat" support and the first time it said I was number 18 in the queue so I waited 14 minutes and when I got to being number 3 in the queue, it kicked me out and said their instant chat support was offline.
I waited a minute, reconnected to the chat support thing and it said I was number 27 with a wait time of 35 minutes so I said the hell with it and just ordered a Moto Maker edition, hence my question(s) above about rooting/unlocking.
For 14 days it's my phone, that's how the deal goes, so I'm going to use it as if it were my actual device, that's the only way I'm going to know if I want to actually keep it - I'll fire off an email to 'em when it arrives to clarify things, but if I do end up rooting it and unlocking the bootloader and then they refuse the return of the phone, well... guess I'll be getting it for free, who knows.

I'm sure they won't let you have it free. Lol
And yes, you will void the warranty.... And therefore probably void your chance to return it.
Remember.....us rooters are a very....very tiny fraction of their customers. They don't think of us when they make deals, or rules or promos.....most will try it, not change a single thing and keep it or return it. Then WE come along, void its warranty and try to return it. Nope....not happening. You own it now. Pay up. Or bye bye imei. And now you own a pretty paperweight.
And.....if moto is smart, which they seem to be, any device on this promo....no matter the carrier....won't be eligible to unlock on their site. Didn't think of that one....did we. I'm betting they won't be eligible to unlock on motos site, not until the deal is done and you keep it. ?

Very valid points KJ. Sad thing is I've had root since day one and I barely use apps that require it anymore. With the recent updates and the ability to disable apps without TiBu my battery life is fine so the only thing I've used root for is kernel tweaks.
Try the phone, if you even remotely like it without root, you'll like it that much more with it.

Yeah, I don't get the attitude about its mine for 14 days. Its yours to TRY they are saying. Taking it apart physically or unlocking boot loaders and messing with the system is not something they will be happy about. They'll just laugh, send it back to you and say congrats on your new purchase. Lol.

I would never own a phone without an unlockable boot loader. Until the Nexus5 all my phones had CM and I bought my phones based on having a stable-ish build. I understand your point.
I think I should teach many of you in here something my father taught me as a kid.
If something isn't yours return it how you found it. If you break it, you replace it.

Unlock T-mo S7 edge bought from samsung.com

Hello, I bought my S7 edge (T-mobile locked) from Samsung.com assuming I will be able to unlock it via the T-Mobile Unlock App. Now I have tried everything but T-mobile does not recognize this device as their own and unable to unlock it since they can't find my the IMEI in their database. Samsung is unwilling to help and won't take the device back. I tried 3rd party unlock services and they are unable to unlock it citing the same issue (not in T-mo database).
Now I'm stuck with this locked device with network issues reported in other threads.
Does anyone know any other method to unlock this device?
Thanks for your help.

Can u return it to samsung?

It's been a month of going through the same thing with Samsung. Never call or email back, always create a ticket and do nothing with it. Escalate to executive customer relations, and nothing happens. Yesterday, I had enough after being told that they won't unlock it and won't replace it with an unlocked phone. You should sell it, because you aren't going to get it unlocked.
I did report them to T-Mobile, because this is happening to more people than just us.
Sorry, it's a dead horse.

I used the "Device Unlock" app that was already on the phone. It told me with Marshmallow I was permanently unlocked, but now it's failing with 7.0 Nougat Beta?? Apparently it wasn't permanent?

yes, I tried using other SIM cards and got some SIM locked error.

T-mobile is not able to help since we bought it from samsung.com. There is some disconnect between Samsung and T-mobile. If T-mobile won't accept it as a "T-mobile phone" then it is a fake to me. Samsung shouldn't be selling it.

This kind of thing happened with the LG V10, and someone found a T-Mobile rep who was sympathetic and was able to add people's IMEI to the database for unlock. The thread is in the T-Mobile V10 forums regarding unlocking. I will link it up if i find it. I think this would be the only hope to unlock such phones for free. A paid service could also work i think.

Those of you who got the T-Mobile OP6T early at the launch event...

Have you attempted to toggle OEM unlocking by using a temporary sim unlock?

I was wondering about this as well as the Verizon Pixel bootloader unlock method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030
I mean, even if either of those works, still won't be able to unlock without the .bin file, and OnePlus's system most likely cross checks with T-Mobile.

There was a bigger thread on the let down Tmobile and one plus gave us @ the event. I was at the event and did get the phone and returned it because it was not the unlocked dual sim as they promised... Since I purchased the phone full price I was able to use the Tmobile APP on the phone to Sim unlock. The boot loader unlock requires a special bin file from Tmobile that takes up to 2 weeks to receive.

It has to be permanent unlock for the action to work. Many have tried to do it with Temp, and no luck. It's not hard to get TMO to give you the permanent unlock, I got it from them and still have payments on the device.

As others have stated, temp sim unlock won't work.
FWIW, I made two attempts requesting sim unlock through chat support. First I tried what others suggested, I was traveling more than 6 months and pushed pretty hard for a perm unlock. They would not budge.
Second attempt I chatted support again...this time I was a bit more creative and forthcoming...told them I was an app developer who needed an OEM unlock for development purposes, and a sim unlock is required to do so. Also told them I had no intention of selling the phone or using it off network. Few minutes later I had a perm sim unlock without ever making a single payment to the device, only 2 weeks after purchasing it. Also helped I was a 10+ year customer with 3 lines, but they were a bit more understanding with the story that time around.

I don't want to lie but seriously. Why won't they unlock me? We have 5 lines and been with them 15 years. They told me over and over that didn't matter.

Do you call them? I tried twice in same week and failed. So I waited a week and lucky the rep did it for me with no questions asked.
No need to lie since I'm leaving overseas soon.

You just have to be diligent and hope to get the right representative. I would suggest the TMO chat on their app or I've read people had a lot of success with TMO support chat on Twitter.
I just finally got things straightened out with Verizon and am successfully using dual sim TMO/VZW.

Well, I didn't get it at the event but the temporarily unlock worked for me. I bought the phone on 11/17 and the next day I was curious to try this app and voila!

Im gonna be upset if i can't shmooze him to unlock it for me

SIM UNLOCK is different than BOOTLOADER UNLOCK.
With the temporary unlock, it is just if you're traveling somewhere and want to use a different sim card, even if you have the permanent unlock through the app, it won't unlock the bootloader. You would want to request to unlock the bootloader.

I have tried so many times with this guy, still nothing. I have explained my payment history, length of service, and how others have gotten it unlocked and still nothing

I have not paid anything on my phone. I have been with Tmo for about 10 years. I asked for a sim unlock as my wife is from China and we go there for 6 months to teach English. They unlocked my phone, then I just got my code and sent to Oneplus and am now sim and bootloader unlocked.
I asked for my sim unlock via Twitter Tmobile Help. Tooks three different people, but got it approved. I just assured them that I was not going to leave Tmo. We have 12 lines total (my entire family shares the account, each family pays for just their line, so my wife and I are $40 a month unlimited, plus my dad is on there so we get military discount. Twelve lines and 10 years, yeah not going anywhere.

No, you need to sim unlock first. Then once you are sim unlocked permanently, you use fastboot commands to get a code for your bootloader. You send this bootloader code along with your IMEi to onpluses website, after 7 days you get a unlock.bin file that you fastboot flash to unlock your bootloader permanently.

You send this bootloader code along with your IMEi to onpluses website, after 7 days you get a unlock.bin file that you fastboot flash to unlock your bootloader permanently.

I asked for my sim unlock via Twitter Tmobile Help. Tooks three different people, but got it approved. I just assured them that I was not going to leave Tmo. We have 12 lines total (my entire family shares the account, each family pays for just their line, so my wife and I are $40 a month unlimited, plus my dad is on there so we get military discount. Twelve lines and 10 years, yeah not going anywhere.

This same guy denied me I just waited for a different rep.

I have talked already with 4 different rep. No luck here.

The only people seeming to have luck are ones I regular Jump which is a purchase program. Jump on demand, which is a lease program aren't having any luck.

So after several attempts of trying to get the phone unlocked with no luck.
I waited 30 mins or so to try if I could get to another representative, I told him that I needed the phone unlocked so I could travel to London and China ( which is false ) but anyways I kept going with that story.
A rep called Kimi got my last message, he said he could override the 40 days rule if I met some special requirements.
The Phone is not on my account, it's on a friend account and I told her this phone was a gift from a family member, that I don't have access to his account and that I have my account. She asked for my tmo account info and imei num amd after waiting for about 15min she told me to go to the tmo device unlock app and try pressing the Permanent unlock button which do the trick and now my phone is unlocked

Is the phone under a lease or payment plan (jump or jump on demand) and what's the status with your account, how long have you been with them, etc? I've tried everything, they said the absolute only way for them to bypass everything and whitelist my imei for a permanent unlock regardless of any payments on the phone, what my account status is, etc would be if I was paying on the 6T and not leasing it.

Jump has nothing to do with it. I'm not on it and I got mine unlocked

T-Mobile bootloader unlock.

Just so everyone with a T-Mo variant is aware. Calling T-Force does still work. Tell them that you are a developer for work and need access to the bootloader unlock which is tied to the device unlock. As long as you are s good standing customer and the rep feels they can trust you, you're golden. Took me about 5 minutes

Device unlock approved on the 8T

I tried T-Mobile help on twitter, they said no... This was before I saw this. I said I traveled a lot and had always had unlocked phones and that they had done it before, but they said no this time.

Not sure on Sprint. I wasn't successful with mine either.

I was able to get t-force on fb messenger to help me unlock my 7pro early but I've tried 3 times now saying I'm a developer and 3x was told I have to wait 45 days

Currently chatting with sprint and they're trying to find a way to unlock bootloader without unlocking sim lol. Who knows though. There 2 different systems so maybe.
Would an imei unlock type thing work?

did you pay off the op8t? just curious because I didn't buy it out right

Good luck getting a Bootloader Unlock code from OnePlus as their site is drunk and keeps saying enter a valid unlock code

Is this just to skip the 40-day thing or do they also unlock devices still on EIP?

"I'm a developer for work, and the bootloader unlock is something I need and is why I bought a OnePlus. I was not aware T-Mobile locked this feature. The bootloader unlock is tied to the SIM unlock. Can we sim unlock it to give me access to the bootloader unlock? I'm not planning on leaving or going anywhere obviously. But this is just a feature I REALLY need"
Is essentially what I said.

If you got 1/2 off, you may loose the discount by paying it off early.
I'm just going to bring some bagels and coffee to my new buds at the local T-Mobile store.
Can the T-Mobile KB2007 be rooted yet?
