this only factor its keeping me from over hype myself to this phone, if someone roots and unlocks bootloader this beast. will be the android phone of the year on size specs and battery.
That's where I am. N6 is too big. I have a Moto X and Nexus 7 (both 2013), and the N6 is just too big, based on the PhoneArena size comparisons. I need root, so the N6 has a slight advantage right now.
I love the idea of a Nexus phone, but the Turbo has most of the features I would want, like Moto Apps (same/similar to Moto X), wireless charging, amazing battery, and it's not so big. I know the N6 will be easy to root/unlock, but I don't if that is enough to outweigh the size.
Price is still an unknown on the Turbo, too. I have to think it's less than the $649 of the N6.
Semi-related.. Another thing I was thinking about the other day.. the Turbo has capacative buttons, with no menu button. My Moto X has on-screen buttons and does show the three dots from time to time that works as a menu button on the right side of the nav bar. How would the Turbo handle such a situation? Would the developer be forced to make a menu button somewhere in their app?
Don't forget about the note 4

I'm confident we'll get root. Almost every phone out there has gotten root, most without much delay.
Time will tell though
This might be the first phone I might not care about root. I don't use hotspots. Its 90% pure Android with actually useful extra features. With 3 gigs of ram and that battery, do I really care about bloat apps? I think maybe unicon and xposed might be my only reasons. And there not just haves. Of course I want root. Its my phone. But it won't be a deal breaker for me.
I've been spoiled by Xposed, and do use hotspot for my N7. I also use some Tasker profiles that need root, so it's kind of a must for me. I agree with @rajuabju, at the rate things have been going, it won't be more than a few months. Who knows, maybe this latest Moto exploit will work. Or maybe the middleman will have codes for the Turbo. We'll know in a few weeks, I guess.

Lol, exactly why I won't get a phone without root. Xposed and the hacked hotspot app for VZW. Also why I would like it "permanently" unlocked (like the RAZR HD was - a blown fuse that can't be fixed or "patched" once destroyed), easier to flash SuperSU.zip onto the phone after every update without worrying about "is it safe to take the update or not? Will I lose root?"

My Verizon Moto Maker Moto X is unlocked. The Chinese middleman was unlocking Moto X and another Moto phone.. Maxx or Ultra, maybe?
And SunShine seemed to work on most Droids.
Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case, you got me.

No, wasn't trying to be sarcastic at all. I've been rolling with my S3 for the past 2.5 years and haven't been paying very much attention outside of that. I was somewhat aware that it was possible to pay some...one...thing...idk to get some of these Motorola devices unlocked--what a strange situation that is.

I would say there are probably equal odds that SunShine works for Turbo, or that Moto patched it. But given the propensity to root/unlock devices, it will happen rather quickly.
Sunshine won't work for the Droid Turbo, yet.
It only works for 4.4.3 and below, the Turbo will undoubtedly be released on 4.4.4 or 5.0, but that doesn't mean it won't eventually work. It's the only hope though.
I've been out of the CDMA loop for years and years and years now. Don't these phones use SIMs now? Is it just a matter of software unlocking GSM frequencies or is it still completely different hardware?
I was a phablet user for 2 years but went back to a N5 and am actually liking the smaller form factor, and would get this over the N6. A stock 5.0 port making this GPe would sure be sweet.
This phone looks geeat, but I'm on TMo.

The SIM is for LTE only, I believe. The rest is done over CDMA. I believe the N6 has a US edition and a world edition, so the US edition will work with all major carriers on all bands and won't really be "different". The Droid line is Verizon exclusive, so it will be locked to CDMA and Verizon's LTE bands.

you could pay a middle man to send you an unlock code but you needed to pass along your IMEI number to get it...now, sunshine seems to unlock just about all of the Moto phones from 2013 afaik...

I used the MiddleMan for my Moto G while I was on a prepaid Verizon plan. $45 well spent.
I was VERY lucky to have gotten my Verizon HTC One M7's bootloader unlocked the first day it came out Verizon blundered and didn't turn off that capability through HTC right away.

If you're going to comment on a dev forum, at least understand the terminology before you use it... otherwise it makes you seem ignorant. "UNLOCKED" and "UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER" are two very different things that have ZERO to do with one another.
All LTE CDMA phones for the past 2 years that use a SIM are "unlocked", as this refers to the carrier lock that is placed on the device when it is sold in bulk to network providers (which is why you have three network settings in your phones setting menu - LTE, GSM, and Global). Don't use terminology you don't understand, as you're adding to the ignorance too many seem to have about what unlocking is and what unlocking a bootloader is. It makes it only that much harder for other individuals to get the correct information, and is the reason why a VZW rep tried to tell me I don't need a developer edition to unlock my phone, because all LTE devices are unlocked when I tried to explain I was looking for a developer edition so I could unlock the bootloader.
Very few Verizon phones have the capability to unlock the phone's bootloader, which allows for rooting without an exploit and the ability to flash custom ROMs (firmware), such as Cyanagenmod. Those of you believing root will appear on any new Motorola phones are not well versed in Motorola phones sold by Verizon. Dan Rosenberg, who is the person anyone with a Motorola device on Verizon has to to thank for the last half decade of being able to root your Motorola VZW phones, has repeatedly posted on numerous threads for over a year to not expect for your Motorola devices to be rooted and if you want root, either buy a Nexus or buy a Developer Edition (if VZW is going to release any more editions after the S5 is not known and information about Developer Editions for the Note 4 Droid Turbo have been repeatedly ignored by VZW's Public Affairs office). This is due to the fact VZW has wizened up and made finding an exploit on anything past 4.4.4 nigh impossible. Exploits that allow root access are not easy to find (taking several months for most VZW Moto root exploits) and as soon as one is found, within a matter of weeks, if not days, VZW will push an automatic update, forcing your phone to update to patch the exploit. This is why when you root your phone you're told to disable OTA updates at the apk level by freezing the update apk or removing it all together after making a backup of it.
Many Motorola users got a surprise in late Spring when a Moto employee "accidentally" included the exploited code that allowed you to blow the fuse and unlock the bootloader of devices running 4.4.2. That was a once in a billion opportunity that will probably never happen again. Every time an exploit has been found that allowed root access or the ability to unlock the bootloader (which was only recently cracked in the past year, possibly two... to put that in perspective, it took over half a decade for Dan Rosenberg to find the exploit that allowed the internal fuse to be blown, unlocking the bootloader). Exploits are not easy things to find, especially in Motorola devices running on VZW's network.
To all of those that like to post root bounties... BUY A DEVELOPER EDITION. You'll pay $300 for a device and then offer $300+ for a root bounty... which is the cost of developer edition device... considering VZW offers Edge, you no longer have to pay full retail in one go for a DE. From this point forward, VZW customers need to comprehend the fact that rooting will continue to be increasingly difficult to perform, most especially on Moto phones running on VZW's network. If you want root access, buy the S5 developer edition or wait until the first week of december to see if a developer edition for the Note 4 will be released (if a Note 4 DE is going to be released, it will occur within the 4 - 6 weeks following it's RTM on 10/23 [Thursday]).
I purchased the G4 32GB model XT1625 from Amazon (not their ad version) over the weekend for $179. I followed the instructions how to request the bootloader unlock code from Motorola, it says my device is not eligible to unlock. Has anyone purchased XT1625 from Amazon and are able to get the unlock code from Moto?
This has already been covered, read the other threads. It was only available for about a week to unlock, then Motorola/Amazon put a stop to it apparently. Return the phone if not satisfied.

When requesting the bootloader unlock, did you manually scrub the output of get_unlock_data? Or did you use the online data scrub tool?

Yep, that sucks bigtime. I would imagine that their sales would go down if this became known. So apparently the only advantage of the no ad is ota's if one considers that an advantage.

They're treating it like a phone you'd buy from AT&T or another carrier.
The Amazon ad subsidized phone understand... But the stock moto phone... I'm sceptic.
hi 2kmy477,
fyi, i received the moto g4 standard edition with the $50 instant rebate from amazon. i purchased the phone on the 8th of july and received the package on the 21st. Immediately after receiving the phone I did a bootloader unlock attempt and it worked on the first try. All I can say is make sure you copy all lines of the boot loader unlock string for your device that is shown after entering the fastboot bootloader unlock command. After copying the entire string, make sure to enter it into the online scrub tool that is on the bootloader unlock website of motorola.
Now use the cleaned bootloader unlock string from the online scrub tool to apply for a bootloader unlock code. This should activate a blue button labeled "Request Unlock Key", which will give you the unlock key once you click it.
If things don't work despite this, I don't know what to say. Motorola specifically said on their website that the "Prime Exclusive" version of the G4 will be locked officially, whereas other variants will not. As stated above, I received the standard edition of the G4 after the 19th of July which is when new bootloader unlock attempts for the Moto G4 Prime exclusive started to get blacklisted.
Also, make sure it says "retus" in the software channel of your phone. To locate the software channel of your phone, open the phone settings and tap on "about phone". "retus" is motorola's software channel for all moto g4 phones, except the prime exclusive version which has "amzn" instead of "retus". If you have "amzn" in your software channel, I think it is best to return your phone and get the standard edition from amazon.
Please let us know if you happen to resolve this problem!
Can anyone else confirm a non-ad subsidized, standard version Moto G4 if purchased from Amazon cannot be bootloader unlocked?!?!
Frankly, I would be shocked if a normal retail version was, but I want to verify... I was almost ready to click to purchase on one for my son who broke the screen on his Huawei Ascend Mate 2 this morning... I would really rather not if it can't be unlocked, I would just order it from Motonova and let him pick the color and stuff and he can use his old Nokia 520 for a few extra days.

I did exactly what you said in your post, no dice and yes, the software channel did show "retus". I'll return the phone back to Amazon or have them to replace the phone for me, can't beat their price of $179 for 32GB though. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.

I just (15 minutes ago) unlocked the bootloader on my amazon-bought, non-ad version of the G4. Unlock code worked fine, I copy-pasted each line manually, including the "#"s.
Confirmed. Waited too long to unlock. Now i get "not eligible" message. /sigh
I believe I have found an exploit to get the bootloader unlock codes for older Motorola devices. The first person to post their fastboot oem get_unlock_data here for the Moto X, I will test it and give you an unlock code to test completely free. Thank you!
UPDATE- Your IMEI can be extracted from the get_unlock_data so post at your own risk.

I have many phones like that just this one for testing
Wow, this is pretty cool news if it turns out to be useful. I just saw a Moto X in a pawn shop the other day, one of my favorite phones of all time and now because of this thread I'm thinking about going to get it.
Might just have to do that if I can talk 'em down on the price to make it worthwhile, if I do get - and it works fine and isn't already unlocked (fat chance of that but you just never know) - I'd love to see if it'll work with this methodology the OP has come up with.
Guess I'll take a walk over and see what's up with that Moto X, think it's an AT&T version but I can't remember precisely.
Good luck with things, regardless...
EDIT:
Ok, so I went and grabbed that Moto X, it's an AT&T XT1058 as we all know, black model, nary a mark on it so whoever owned it previously sure did a great job taking care of it thankfully. I'll post the unlock info just in case the OP cares to give it a go but if not I can wait till he/she might have that automated method available.
The unlock info for this XT1058 is:
3A35120695322625#543031313330474A534700585431303538000000#8824CC4590B14CA4D15FAD760B586CEB67232790#635986040C0001000000000000000000
and of course I checked it with Motorola and they obviously won't allow it to unlock since it's the AT&T variant. But anyway, there it is, so fingers crossed I suppose. I missed my original Moto X, still have some accessories for it including a Griffin desktop stand I got for my original one from Motorola for free so I might have to dig that out of a closet and make use of it again. Small phone nowadays compared to modern monster 5" and larger beasts but I do still love the Moto X and I'm glad I got another one.
(for whatever reason, when I look at that code above it has 2 spaces in it as displayed by my browser which if Firefox ESR but it doesn't have any spaces when I copied/pasted it, and I see the same thing for other codes posted above - just wanted to say that for some reason, 132 digits long)

Asisentr11,
Thank You for doing this! My wife and I bought 2 Moto X 2013 (non-dev) phones under Verizon, when we had their Unlimited Data Plan. Right after we bought the phones, Verizon changed their plans and Unlimited Data users were promptly charged extra $$$ for it! So we go to Motorola to get unlock codes (so we can get better battery life, etc.) and they say that they cannot give me the unlock code! If your method works, we will definitely apply it.
Best Wishes with this!

The OP posted something about the Moto Z basically a week ago and hasn't made a peep since so, either he/she will come back and provide an update at some point or this is just another pipe dream in the wind, so to speak.

Any chance you could test on the Republic Wireless firmware? I'm very interested in that.

Does anyone have any tips? I've tried Kingoroot with no luck.
Have to unlock bootloader first.
Which is not possible at this time with this Verizon phone.
Buy an X-Force

Or if he needs Verizon, get a phone where XDA forum shows the Verizon bootloader can be unlocked. For instance Droid Turbo XT1254 -- as long as it's not on the very latest firmware version (and Sunshine team is even working on that).
Or other Sunshine cracked phones.
Or Moto Nexus 6.
Point is, with Verizon phones you really have to research first before you buy -- if rooting is important to you.
Hello, my friends. I am not user of Motorola/Lenovo all time but i decided to buy Moto G, an phone i had used 2 years from 2014-2016 and i was back then very satisfied.
Week ago i bought Moto G 3G/falcon for 20€ and i was very happy i am back with my old and very good device.
First thing which impressed me before buying this device how many custom roms is for Moto G so my primary target - root and custom roms.
It looks very good. I have again my cute Moto wow, i was very surprised, but... First obstacle, no 4G, nevermind.
This device ended with support at android 5.1.1 which also lag and i dont remember it so slow even before in 2016 i remember i had 5.0.2 on it but very smooth, so i think its old device i dont care, i will try some of many custom ROMs from XDA.
Day later after buy i wanted to unlock bootloader. No success and after reading many sites, i tried everything, but i am ended with motorola official page and same message in email from their support.
First noticed sentence: We love our developers.
Second:
"Bootloader unlock codes may not be available for older phones. If an unlock is not available, it will show as not qualified for bootloader unlock."
Attached photos from their page below post.
This is my last Moto/Lenovo device. First and last factor for not support for unlock bootloader ? What a cringe... Apple doing similiar thing like slowing down older devices but they got fat penalties as i know. I can understand not supporting official updates but this is so limiting and stupid!
Sony can be unlocked4ever. I am wondering how long time i can unlock bootloader for all sony devices, sometimes you can buy Sony with not unlockable bootloader but its one from 100 thousand pieces for example.
Dont buy older devices from motorola if you wanna root. I will never again.

"Bootloader unlock codes may not be available for older phones. If an unlock is not available, it will show as not qualified for bootloader unlock." - So maybe you know what i mean.

Thank you all for your support but this is my last Moto/Lenovo device. Never ever. Only for not support for unlock bootloader ? What a F***...

Most older Moto devices were carrier-branded, and have agreements with the carriers that the bootloader would not be eligible for bootloader unlocking.
Although Moto still has these same agreements with carriers, most newer models are available unbranded, which can be bootloader unlocked.
It's certainly possible that the model you had previously was allowed to be bootloader unlocked, and the model you now have never could be unlocked.
The list of supported devices has never been accurate, and many models that can be unlocked have never been on the official list.
You can check the list of CIDs, to see if your model should be eligible for bootloader unlocking, that is pretty clear.
If your CID is on the list as eligible, try the unlocking steps.
Mote, the moto unlocking site is very buggy and many people get a reply that their device can not be unlocked.
if you get this message just keep trying, it should work eventually.

The age of the Motorola smartphone has no relevance whatsoever in regards to official bootloader unlocking support. Unless the device is an ineligible carrier branded model, the bootloader is fully supported for unlocking, regardless of when it was manufactured. As @sd_shadow pointed out, don't purchase a carrier branded Motorola device if you want to unlock and customize your smartphone. Most Sprint (Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Republic Wireless, etc.) and T-Mobile branded Motorola devices are eligible for unlocking per their agreements with Motorola. As a general rule, however, Verizon, AT&T (Cricket) & TracFone (Net10 & StraigjtTalk) branded devices are ineligible for unlocking, per contractual agreements with Motorola. Of course, the safest wager is always a retail/factory unlocked smartphone purchased directly through Motorola or a reputable retailer.
Although this is an older post, perhaps the info will be useful to members not aware of Motorola's unlocking policies regarding certain carrier branded models.
