I send email last week asking "why cant I unlock the bootloader?"
here is Verizon's answer:
Good Morning Mr. XXXX,
Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website. My name is Michelle, and I understand that you're questioning the bootloader on your HTC Rezound. I certainly know the importance of being aware of the features on your device. I'll be glad to assist you today.
Mr. XXX, The bootloader is locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. Additionally, the Bootloader is locked on each device so that only the Verizon Wireless operating system can be ran.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please know that unlocking the Bootloader or rooting your device will void your warranty. We also don't offer assistance for Non-Verizon Wireless software.
I also wanted to inform you that I attempted to contact you on your mobile number ending in XXXX, unfortunately I was unable to reach you. I was calling to assist you with your concern and verity your account. According to our records, you previously added a password to your account. For your protection this password must be verified before I can discuss your account or process any changes. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you understand our desire to protect account privacy.
Please note: The account password referred to on the website "Contact Us" page is not the same as the password you created for your online "My Verizon" service.
If you have forgotten your password, please contact Customer Service at 800 922-0204 or dial *611(send) from your wireless phone. Both numbers are airtime free. We will be able to verify secondary information with you to ensure the security of your account.
Mr. XXXX, If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. You can reach me at 803-231-1787. My normal business hours are 7:00am - 4:00pm EST, Monday - Friday. Your call will go to voicemail, please leave a message, advising the best time and number to contact you.
If outside of my business hours, you may also call Verizon Wireless Technical Support Department at 1-800-922-0204 and select option 3 from a landline phone to speak with a representative who will walk you through step-by-step instructions to troubleshoot the issue. Our Data Technical Support Department is open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. Please have your wireless phone fully charged and available when you call.
I look forward to providing you with any additional assistance that may be needed.
I hope the information that I have provided for you today regarding Bootloading on your device was helpful
I make it my personal goal to resolve all of your wireless concerns. I hope I have done that for you today. We appreciate your business and thank you for using Verizon Wireless.
Sincerely,
Michelle

I didn't know that Verizon had their own OS
Sounds like your typical corporate pr talking head doublespeak. Too bad there aren't any people with real answers to contact us. Until they see some real numbers that this stance is hurting sales I doubt we will get results. But I Prefer to think there still a chance. Let's keep throwing pellets of complaints @ there sites of communication. Solidarity fellow activists of occupy verizon - htc - google.!
Verizon is so full of crap.
Sounds like one of the most honest answers so far, they want phones to stay on their network so they can keep raking in the cash. It's a ****ty business practice either way.

I know there are a lot of threads and tutorials on how to do this, but my question is who is currently using a Sprint Touch pro with verizon and how are you doing it? I read that verizon blocked the way that everyone used to do it with *228 option 3, and I wanted to know if there was an alternate way of doing it before I go and buy one.
I am right now, got mine in while the loophole was still open. There is a way to have the esn added by calling cust service but it may take numerous calls to find someone who knows how to add the esn into the system. I am thinking of selling mine. I wonder if it has been on the account once if it will be able to be activated like normal since it was in the system once? I may toy with this and reactivate my vogue then try to reactivate my tp. Might be a plus for a selling point if i can...
No it wont reactivate, if you used the loophole and switch devices it will not reactivate.
Trust me I did this and had to do an ESN repair to get it working again.
I have been looking at the specs for the alltel TP and it seems that they are really similar to Sprints, and if it is known that a sprint TP will not work with verizon anymore i will just get the Alltel one. since verizon bought them it should be easier to add the Alltel one than the sprint one, they might not like it and try saying they can't but I am sure I can get them to do it. thanks for all your help.
RE: Alltel TP on VZW
No Dice on the Alltel Touch Pro on the VZW network! At least for me.
I think the sprint touch pro will work on vzw. The main thing is to setup the phone first and then some how get them to add the esn. That is what i had to do to get alltel to add my sprint touch pro.
you just need to quote the CSA to them that states that you can use any CDMA compatable phone here is the quote from their CSA "Your wireless phone is any device you use to receive our wireless voice or data service. It must comply with Federal Communications Commission regulations and be compatible with our network and your Plan. Whether you buy your wireless phone from us or someone else is entirely your choice. At times we may change your wireless phone's software, applications or programming remotely and without notice. This could affect data you've stored on, the way you've programmed or the way you use your wireless phone. If you purchased a wireless phone (other than a "global phone") from Verizon Wireless for use with a plan with a minimum term and want to reprogram your phone for use with another wireless carrier network, the default service programming code is set to "000000" or "123456." Verizon Wireless in no way guarantees that your Verizon Wireless phone will be capable of being reprogrammed for use with another wireless carrier network after the service programming code is entered, or that another wireless carrier will accept your device for use on its network" this is the post that I found. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=75164&page=2
I work for verizon and they have this 'come one come all' but it only depends on the person you get as a CSR. There is a request form where you can fill out the phone make, model, and ESN and email/fax it into the people that actually do it for you. I've performed the request without fail. If I can remember to get the request form, I'll post it here as soon as I can.
if you know how to get the esn added, i would love to find out. i went round and round with verizon customer service, sales, tech support and store reps about trying to get a sprint mogul setup for my girlfriend. everyone kept telling me it couldnt be done or they dont do that. found the entry in their websites faq that states they do before anyone would listen to me. was finally told i had to send the phone to their development evaluation center before they could activate it, and that it would take three weeks! so if you have an easier way, please, enlighten me! ps..didnt mean to jack the thread

all they will do is change the settings to be compatible with their network, nothing that you can't do yourself. here is some info about how to do it yourself.

So, I was bored at work and started to notice the trolling going on at facebook/twitter about this bootloader unlocking issue. I decided to engage moto directly since they don't actually read fb or twitter comments and RT's. I got on a chat with someone from moto support and below is the transcript.....
Code:
Reza: Hi, my name is Reza. How may I help you?
jimbob: i have a question about my new droid x2.
Reza: Okay.
jimbob: is the bootloader unlockable like the xoom?
Reza: I apologize it is not.
jimbob: hmm...i'm assuming u guys actually look at the comments on your facebook page...
jimbob: lots of stink being thrown about this...do u guys have any data on when/if u will be allowing people to do what they want with the phones they pay money for?
jimbob: i know it's not your decision to make...just trying to get some information.
jimbob: i really liked my original droid 1 b/c i actually felt like I owned it...i like the x2 but motoblur is not a quality product IMHO.

Reza: Suggestion
Summary:
DROID X - Bootloader mode (eFuse)
Question:
Does the DROID X have eFuse, why does my handset power up in Bootloader recovery mode?
Answer:
Motorola's primary focus is the security of our end users and protection of their data, while also meeting carrier, partner and legal requirements. The Droid X and a majority of Android consumer devices on the market today have a secured bootloader.
In reference specifically to eFuse, the technology is not loaded with the purpose of preventing a consumer device from functioning, but rather ensuring for the user that the device only runs on updated and tested versions of software. If a device attempts to boot with unapproved software, it will go into recovery mode, and can re-boot once approved software is re-installed. Checking for a valid software configuration is a common practice within the industry to protect the user against potential malicious software threats. Motorola has been a long time advocate of open platforms and provides a number of resources to developers to foster the ecosystem including tools and access to devices for developers via MOTODEV at h t t p : / / d eveloper . motorola . com.
jimbob: Checking for a valid software configuration is a common practice within the industry to protect the user against potential malicious software threats
jimbob: that may be true, but not with respect to the OS as a whole...no other android phone manufacturer does this.
jimbob: advocation of open platforms != locking technically savvy users out of their own device...
jimbob: so...is there a timeline at all on unlocking the bootloaders?
Communication with the RightNow Chat service has been lost. Please wait while attempts are made to restore the connection.
Disconnection in 240 seconds.
Connection resumed.
Reza: I apologize there is none. What we can do is to schedule the phone to be sent to our Repair Center.
jimbob: and what would that do?
Reza: Our trained technician will work on it.
jimbob: but, there's nothing physically wrong with the device...would they unlock the bootloader and give it back to me?
Reza: Right.
jimbob: really?
Reza: Really.
jimbob: lol...so, what would I do about a phone in the meantime?
Reza: Did you try to remove the battery and put it back in after a few minutes?
jimbob: no, the phone works fine....
Reza: I see.
jimbob: outside of it having a locked bootloader.
jimbob: and motoblur being buggy and awkward..
jimbob: what i'm saying is, if i sent the phone to the repair center so they could unlock the bootloader, what would I do for a phone during the 2 weekish period where u had the phone.
Communication with the RightNow Chat service has been lost. Please wait while attempts are made to restore the connection.
Disconnection in 240 seconds.
Connection resumed.
Reza: When did you purchase it?
jimbob: a few days ago
Reza: To answer that, let me give two options.
Reza: Option 1: You can check with your service provider or place of purchase for options available.
Reza: Option 2: You can send the phone to Motorola Repair Center. Just send the phone by itself without any accessories like battery door, battery, sim card and memory card (if applicable). The timeframe is 5 to 7 business days from the time we receive the phone.
Reza: On our end, since we don't have the replacement program what we can do is fix it. You can try with your carrier if they offer loaner phones.
jimbob: hmm...interesting...I'll have to contemplate this a bit further. thanks so much for your input!
So, has anyone had a device with a locked bootloader sent in to have it unlocked before? 14 seconds of googling didn't yield much in the way of precedent for this. Comments?
I do not think the representative is understanding what you are asking. They think your phone is broke lol.
yea..I thought about hitting up another one just to see if they were all crazy. I might try that later.
If they were really taking phones in to have the bootloader unlocked and sending the phones back, their mailbox wouldn't be able to hold all the phones coming in.
The rep misunderstood you.
You probably were talking to some rep in India following a copy/past script.
I'm pretty sure she has no idea what she is talking about....does Motorola even have a tech support facility in America?
I want to give something back to the developers.
I've a new fancy phone, and I'm eager to have root access so I can restore an image of "good for enterprise" that doesn't scramble the communication port (only for verizon does it do this, and then they charge you $15 per month to "unscramble" it).
I know the devs are hard at work on rooting the device, and it will happen regardless of anything I do, but I am pledging $20 as a paypal donation to whichever development group (or individual) comes up with the first reliable rooting method for our verizon phones.
I don't consider this an "incentive" since everyone is already motivated, but rather as a "thank you" gift. Anyone else who would like to pledge, please feel free to use this thread to state your intentions.
Thank you for all you do for us.
I'd be down with a donation myself

I've scoured google for answers to the question, "why is verizon the only carrier that charges it's users $15/mo to use this application?"
I'm coming over from Sprint, which does not charge for this.
After a few calls to customer service, I was able to determine that their "feature code" to enable good (which doesn't directly charge you any money) places your device in a different tier of service (which does cost you more). So technically (and more importantly, legally) you aren't paying for "good" but rather, you are paying for "encrypted corporate data services".
Trying to determine HOW they accomplished this lead me to posts and commentary from users that explained if you select "other" during setup, when prompted to select your carrier, the app will work fine, but if you select "verizon" the app will not connect.
So, the best explaination I have found so far is that Good has collaborated with Verizon on this deal, and when you install it on a verizon phone, it switches port 8080 to some other port. Then, when you call verizon and enter their "feature" code, they give you the $15 add-on charge and either push a config to the app to put it back on 8080, or, they put in NAT rules to re-route the obscure port back to 8080.
Some say that they've not been prompted to select a carrier on the newer versions, so they may have disabled that work around.
Others have said that they were able to call up and cancel the feature, and it still worked, but then more recent posters say this doesn't work anymore either.
So, my hope is that if I do a titanium restore of my ICS epic4g Sprint install, that:
A: It will actually work on Jellybean/NoteII
B: Whatever hijinks good/verizon are doing on the back end to soak users out of MORE money will be circumvented.
hi
I wasn't aware of all the recent US laws re: unlocking and exporting, so have been stuck with a brand new AT+T Lumia 920 from ebay that I can't seem to get unlocked, from any number of 3rd party unlockers.
I've also been through the AT+T International Helpdesk a few times now, and despite being exceedingly helpful, the reps there are now unable to unlock the device or even raise an unlock support request unless they have an existing or previous AT+T number to go on. As I live in the Caribbean, I don't have any numbers I can use, and have never been a customer.
So, if you're an AT+T current customer, have been on contract over 6 months, and don't mind using one of your 5 per year unlocks, I will pay you $25 via paypal (average cost of a 3rd party unlock) if you can get my phone unlocked for me
offer is only to established forum members (6 months and 10 posts +).
Please message me, and I'll supply IMEI details needed and what you need to do with AT+T to unlock it.
Many thanks for any help!

I am in the same boat my friend i am also try to do the same, but still have not found any one generous enough to help me out.
hi all,
just to confirm that this will not effect your AT+T account in any way.
i have a documented call log from AT+T reps saying that they simply need a AT+T number to assign the unlock request to!
If you like, simply supply me your cell number, and i will speak to the reps - as far as they are concerned, you bought and sold the Lumia on via ebay without ever using the phone on AT+T (basically the truth anyway), but I can then base the unlock request on this valid situation and existing customer cell number.
thanks

Hi,
thanks for the suggestion but i already tried this - unfortunately he wasn't an AT+T customer himself - he had bought the phone to use on one of their plans, then decided to switch to an iPhone with T-mobile at last minut so just flipped the phone without activating on AT+T, and he didn't have details for the guy he bought it from on craigslist.
Hopefully should be sorted now anyway - I found 2 friends over the weekend that still have active AT+T numbers, so going to give it a go with them this morning!

Thanks. Well that sucks
Luckily have already requested mine and awaiting it.
But if I need to get a replacement phone in future I wont be able to root
Last Huawei I get then...
Got my code yesterday. But this is probably my first and last Huawei phone.
And DC Phoenix developers will raise their prices for it...I bet DC Phoenix is developed by Huawei.
I don't know why phone manufacturers do this. First it was Apple - the never ending war againt Jailbreakers. Instead of registering the phone for voided warranty and denying service for jailbroken iDevices, they fight againt ist.
Now Huawei does this - it's nearly the same and for me the rooting "freedom" on Android was the main reason to switch from iOS.
So, first and last Huawei I've had...after waiting 1.5 years for good custom rom development and good community support for EMUI I will choose another manufacturer - is the question: which one? Nevermind.
My main reason against iPhone too, locking down to only get everything through them and charging through the nose for the privilege...
OnePlus seems like a good way to go at the moment. I am quite tempted to go back to my HTC days as far as I know they are one of the better most lenient I have come across and their phones seem to be getting to the top of the pile again stat-wise...
i got my code instantly from the site. Stupid move by Huawei. One of the main reasons I got this phone was because i could unlock the the bootloader. If they dont change their decision this will be my last Huawei.
Are the unlock codes a alpha numeric 16 character code ? I just want to double check the code i got is correct.

Well that is terrible news...
Now here's another thing, my wife has a p10, I haven't rooted yet. Figured I'd wait till her warranty was near it's end to avoid any hassle if it needed servicing.
I went to that link in the op, thing I noticed is that when trying to register there is no option to select Canada or the US from the country list. Did those of you that have used that site, did you have prior accounts created, or does the country matter?
I would like to have the unlock code for later use.
If not, I guess I'm looking for another carrier to buy out this contract to get another phone.
I was rather impressed with her phone, and would have liked one too once my Sammy's screen kicked the bucket.
Now I have no idea what phone is worth getting for modding. Seems like very few options left...
Myself, I ditched apple because jailbreaking became an impossibility. I just can't fathom owning a device without administrative privileges. Plus if it weren't for custom ROMs, my phone would have received no further security updates. This is horrible business practice. At least windows gives its users years of monthly updates.
This is indeed ****ty news...

But, in response, please note that we can, of course, generate and provide the bootloader code for your device.
However, please keep in mind that unlocking the device's bootloader voids its warranty and might cause numerous software issues (unlocking any device's bootloader is considered to be software manipulation).
Should you still require the code, please provide us with the following details:

Edit: Wife contacted Huawei by email. First response was their branch couldn't help and gave a link to contact the same domain name with a different contact name, however the contact is non existent. (So far twice they responded with a non existent contact)
We're waiting to see if they respond with a working contact.
If not, we'll look at another carrier buying out the contract and get another phone I guess. It's sad because it is a nice phone.

That is concerning, now I want to test the code but I like others was going to wait and unlock. I heard others are getting the code by email, but mine was given instantly. Have others got it instantly? I just don't want to assume the code is legit then when I do go to use it it's not and it's to late to get one. Is there a way to test it without actually unlocking it. I really don't feel like wiping my data, just to check it

Just enter the unlock command with your code. If your code is working there will be a message for factory reset, there you need to press "Yes" or "No". So no factory reset if you don't confirm it.
If the code isn't working you'll get adb error "invalid command"
