Hi.
Got a never touched G7 Plus from a relative (never touched bootloader ROM etc). Got a unlock key on by the normal procedure at Lenovo/Motorola site but the option to OEM unlock is greyed out in the dev options.
Any clue to have it unlocked?
It came with Android10, downgrading is something good to be tried in this case/device?
People there in motorola forums seems not to be very helpful about this issue

Thanks!

Connect it to the internet (wifi or carrier)
It should be available in a few mins or it can take 3-14+ days
Which cid and channel?
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar ro.carrier

Thank you sd_shadow. I should have updated this thread.
Yeah it just got fixed after some time.
This is something motorola should notice to users. What a waste of time.

I,m not 100% sure k-t-b as I'm new to Motorola devices but I managed to unlock the bootloader with fastboot oem ulock "unlock code" so I assumed you could change the CID the same way
No, that won't work on the X. Sorry..

mak,
Sorry to bring up such an old post, but did you ever get this resolved? I'm researching a similar issue.
Thanks!
No sorry erikivy not sorted yet think I have fxxked the device I was told by a guy in a shop in London I would have to give the phone
a new identity IMEI no. I think ? not sure if he knew what he was talking about but I think that's illegal in the UK and I don't really want to go down that route.
I think the fastboot oem command needs to be looked into and I'm not really up on Moto Devices
I'm playing with HTC M8 at the moment much more easy to customise in my opinion but I will get back to the moto when I have time
sorry couldn't be more helpfull

No worries, man. Thanks for replying. I eventually figured out my somewhat related issue. Good luck!
Ok so sorry if this has already been posted but I can't find anything. This is my first attempt at rooting. I am trying to root my 2014 Moto x. I am on US cellular so I believe the model is XT1093. Not sure though as this seems to be missing from settings in lollipop. I tried a root tutorial for xt1097 but did not work. There is no OEM unlock setting in my Developer options. I think I have to unlock my bootloader through Motorola but havn't been successful.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew
I've got the same problem here I think it's a US Cellular problem with what they eliminated from lollipop but I can't be sure looking everywhere but can't find any answers. I wish we could get some help with this though would love to unlock and root this thing.
Yea, I think your right about it being a US Cellular thing. No one else seems to have the problem and US Cellular is a unique model number (XT1093 vs 1095 or 1097). Iv tried to unlock the bootlader through motos web cite which should work but I'm having some difficulties. I entered the info from my device, it said it was able to be unlocked and gave me the unlock key. but when I entered the key I got an error. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or they are.. Still working on it..

What command are you using to unlock your bootloader with the key? And what error are you getting?
I've tried the unlock method from Motorola. It all works until it prompts you to check the box in developing. options that says unlock oem functions. On the 1093 in lollipop the dev. option is not there. Also tried the tool kit in this forum that is made for non pure phones... It works great... even tells you your phone is unlocked but it doesn't finish. What I mean is it doesn't reboot your phone and the phone is still locked. Really frustrating ? Any help or ideas are very welcome. PLEASE HELP!
Is there a way to root the phone without unlocking? Cause if we could... We could try a different rom and see if from there we could find the unlock box in the developer options.

There's no such thing as "Unlock/ Unlock OEM functions" in developer options, in any ROM, ever.
Just found this.. Apparently Nexus 6 & 9 have this additional step to unlock the bootloader. I didn't have to do this while unlocking my device whilst on lollipop. So I'm gonna assume it's possible to unlock the bootloader on your device if this option is missing from the Developer Options..
Follow the procedure on motorola's website to unlock the bootloader and report back with the error you see on the online tool, or the actual device.
P.S - voids your warranty, unless you have a dev device
It doesn't give an error per say... It tells you to go to dev options and check the box or click on the option to unlock oem. Of course it's not there so the program will not execute the unlock. It says waiting for device....

As we all know the development of our device isin't going great because of the Huawei decision to stop bootloader unlocking but we have a developer who is ready to work on our device And he already successfully ported the twrp for our device which is available in the development section but future development is halted because of the lack of the required files which can only be obtained from the devices with a root access which is only possible with unlocked bootloader .So anyone who has an unlocked bootloader and want to contribute in the future development of Honor play, please! ping me or drop down a comment or a reply below.
Thank you.

yes,but if the switch is inactive it cannot be enabled... see attached picture, inactive the "enable oem unlock" switch on my phone... if you can't turn it on, you can't enable opening,if there is any code, then... if this switch is active, then approving bootloader opening/unlocking... but have unlock code, but switch is inactive, cannot open bootloader with code...

@asser19 why is it not possible to open it now? if you want to modify your system, buy a phone that is less secure, huawei/honor is now a safer mobile phone that can not be opened and can not be rooted, this is not a problem

Whether or not you want to modify should be your choice because you've bought the device so it's yours.

yes, legitimate, but modification can cause damage to motherboard, which would be replaced by a warranty, thus causing damage to the manufacturer, not due to improper use, therefore, to prevent this, the manufacturer may block system modification

Hi, i need to relock my Zenfone 8. Right now it's running newest Beta, but everything is fully operational. Do you have any idea, how to relock?
fastboot oem lock is not working
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk also nothing
Both are giving:
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
Thanks.

As far as I know, once unlocked, it is not possible no relock again.
Asus says it's can't be relocked. At least it was reply to me from their support.
I relocked mine but you cannot restore OTAs since your IMEI is permanently blacklisted with Asus.

Hi again. One guy tried this and locked his BL (with followed factory reset).
He has Android 12 (beta 2 I think) and experienced some problems with phone auto-reboot when interent/sim card is active. If SIM is removed then he can use his ZF8.
Do you have same behavior or everything is ok for you?

That person replied that those reboots were fixed by re-enabling some previously disabled apps through ADB command. It looks like too many apps were disabled.
It's interesting, will you have any OTA-updates in future or your S/N / IMEI still in blacklist for OTA's ?

No OTA; S/N is blacklisted :-( It's fine. You just download the update to storage and the phone will see it and do the update.
