Unlock your Bootloader before updating to 4.4.4

For anyone who has just picked up a Moto G and plans to unlock their bootloader, unlock it before updating to 4.4.4. There is currently a bug with the unlock codes on the 4.4.4 bootloader and the workaround is a hassle. The issue isn't present on 4.4.2, you can update once your bootloader is unlocked.

The issue, when you receive the Motorola's code and enter it in the cmd get an error message. At least, that happened to me.

Hi! I bought the phone with the 4.4.2 update, and hurried him through the air to 4.4.4. And now I can not unlock the boot loader (incorrect password). Tried to go back to 4.4.2, and it does not work. When Motorola is the solution?

Thanks @Jdiesel87 for heads up. As you mentioned that there is a workaround , can you please point out or explain what it is , so that it will help the people who updated to 4.4.4 on first day itself..

Sure thing. In order to get the fix from Motorola you need to visit the thread on their forum at:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875?commentId=798955#798955
You will need to sign up for the Motorola Feedback Network under your account settings, register your device with your IMEI number, and opt in to receive emails from Motorola. Once you have done that post on the above thread alerting the moderators that you have completed those steps.
I can't comment on anything after that point as the Motorola beta program has a non-disclosure agreement but they will help you from there.

So moral of the story is,,unlock bootloader while 1 is still using 4.4.2,,right?

I got my moto g 2 days ago. model XT1033 dual sim india . When I got it the android version was 4.4.4 .. and I have just successfully unlocked the bootloader. ... bt.. im not able work any custom recoveries... I flashed many recoveries using fastboot commands, bt after selecting the recovery from fast boot list , the phone shows the bootlogo then a black screen with some random lines or something.. is this becoz of the bootloader issue ?

So what is the procedure to unlock our device if we made the update? Because I'm a bit confused here

I aslo successfully root moto g 4.4.4 version with superbot.
when unlocking bootloader it says unlocking failed messege buy when i restar it says warning unlocked bootloader.

I have this problem and i posted in the Motorola forum on wednesday... still no response. No mail, no beta, no response in the thread itself. I've followed all the steps that they asked.
I have a bad feeling.

Testers needed for bootloader unlock tool

Tool released as moto all in one tool v 2.5
Hit thanks to support my work

Neat tool, but it might be better to rename to title. Right now it gives it the impression that it'll magically unlock your device without the code.

Hello, I am the creator of a toolkit for the moto g called motoflash.
I was wondering if you would mind me including this within the toolkit?
I would certainly give full credit.
Thanks,

Nope... I have a locked bootloader. Damn Verizon! What I hate the most is that darn bloatware!
Still really would be glad to test anything to help the community achieve the ability to customize their Verizon Moto Gs.

Learn how to act on forums and you'll get a lot more help. Once unlocked you'll get that warning unless you cover it up by flashing a new logo.bin as shown in the above post. You should also do a lot more reading before flashing anything.

Problem with G930AZ Unlock

I havent been able to unlock my phone phone i bought it off ebay and i cant seem to unlock it. i bought the unlock code from two different unlock servers and they both appeared with the same code but it doesnt work i was wondering if anyone has had this same problem and was able to fix it. i would apreciate the help thanks in advance.

You have to wait a while for the unlock to go through. I've never unlocked my phone but I've seen videos so I have some knowledge

Something happened with OS in your phone. Maybe it was rooted, or maybe some error in the system. Any how. Just flash your phone with stock rom. The original firmware that it had, and the code should work. Also try factory reset first. That may work as well.
Good luck.

At present there are no known root exploits for Moto's stock ROM if bootloader isn't eligible for unlocking.

Then your bootloader remains unlocked. Root with the tool of your choice; most favor Magisk. Also pay attention to format of data partition (ext4 or f2fs) and encryption status. Both are considerations when rooting systemlessly.

No - because if you're asking then you likely don't have the skills/experience to get yourself out of trouble if something goes wrong. And it likely will with this device. Suggest you consult rooting threads in the G4P help section along with those for the Moto E4 which is similar and came with Nougat 7.1.1. I have one of those; not the easiest pup to root. Boot looped twice before I got things sorted. Been doing this a long time, did my homework and still ran into issues.
Unrooted Nougat isn't horrible. Enjoy your *working* device while figuring out if/how to root it. Waiting for a guide specific to this device might be your best bet.

Can anyone help me with no network issue? Just updated to 7..1.1 but no network. Help pls
