Issues unlocking Moto E 2nd 4G LTE (XT1527) anyone else can confirm it works? - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having issues unlocking the boot loader on the Moto E 2nd 4G LTE (XT1527) can anyone else confirm this phone can be unlocked?
I've gone through all the steps and it tells me this is not a unlockable phone even though I know that there is a CyanogenMod port for
this model.
I'm in the US, is there anything else besides having a supported unlockable phone, that can cause them to flip you the bird when it
comes to unlocking?
I'm going to call their tech support tomorrow, but it would be nice to have a confirmation before I get on the phone with them.

Also failing that has anyone discovered a force-able unlocking method for these phones yet? =/

This phone is unlockable. I found an AIO script on HTCMania. It unlocks the bootloader, flashes recovery, roots the phone and flashes any stock ROM you like.
People here in XDA don't like AIO's, also the script is in spanish.

Thank you very much.
I'll see if I can find it on HTCMania and see if I want to use it.
Would it be against the rules for you to post the link for me?

I've taken a look at the script, it just opens the motorola website for pasting the code with motorola's website.
It still does not solve the problem that Motorola ("Spits something green") won't unlock the boot loader.
It is not a bootloader crack unfortunately. =/

If someone knows of a non-motorola approved bootloader crack its what I'm looking for at the moment.
One that does not contain paste your code into Motorola's website for approval and subsequent refusal.

A extra thanks would go if it contains pictures of monkies using or otherwise defecating on the motorola logo during the cracking process.

Never mind I forgot about the posts below when I posted this about bootloader unlocking and bounties for a crack unlock, I'll follow these threads.

But what exactly is the problem with your device? I really don't know what have been the struggles of others, but the thread on HTCMania says the script works for any edition. If you need any help with the translation, I can help with the critical parts or anything specific you want..
By the way, just to make sure, the script is the one made by Alkalinorap

You're familiar with the motorola approved unlocking process right?
It just forwards you through the motorola approved booting processing, it just opens the page and helps you copy
the code to motorola.
I think your probable lucky and don't have a US edition of the Moto E or have service with a US phone provider,
or maybe the unlocker tool on the motorola website knows I'm in the US or something and won't unlock my phone.
The spanish script just does the same thing only does it through a shell script that opens windows for you to
paste unlock codes and send them to motorola for approval just like the standard motorola approved unlocking process.
It doesn't provide a means to unlock the bootloader if motorola decides they're going to flip you the bird.
It does not work if motorola will not approve your unlock process.
I have a XT1527 which I made the mistake of activating to cricket (at&t) before unlocking.
I don't know if they would have let me unlock my bootloader on my XT1527 before, but they
may have refused me the right after hooking up my cricket service to it.
May they both spontaneusly burst into flames and meet a screaming end.

Thanks for the offer on translating it, I got through script pretty easy I ended up using google translate to get through it.
I had already tried doing the standard unlock process.

Unless there is a second spanish script somewhere else on the page that does something different.

Accidental double post, I must have been tired when I posted this.

I'm confirming my own thread that unlocking should work on a XT1527 (unlocked) that you receive from the factory rather then used.
I've had issues getting the website to accept my code even had to have a motorola employee from their forums reformat my code for me (I tried their
data scrub tool and it didn't work) and finally it works.
XT1527 should be unlockable though, and mine was after the code was formatted correctly.
That doesn't mean you're not going to have the same trouble I did though.

[Q] HTC Amaze - Unlocking the bootloader fails

Hi,
I am quite new to Andriod and just trying the rooting for the first time.
I have HTC Amaze 4G on Mobilicity in Canada.
I was trying to root my phone. My attempt was failed in the stage of unlocking the bootloader,
I was following the instruction on HTCDev site
I successfully retrieve the token code. However, When I enter this token to HTCDev site it gives me following error.
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
I checked everything...token was copied properly, I checked there is no additional space.
Can anyone suggest me any other procedure to root my phone?
You asked the same question on another thread so I guess I just paste my answer here too.
I'm a total noob so take my reply with 2 grains of salt...
But I read on the rooting thread that aparently the problem is (at least with Telus users) that since HTC Dev added the Tmo amaze to the list now the Telus get CID errors since they are in the "wrong" country.
May be that is what is happening to you too????
You can read more about it in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...324177&page=25 just look around there and see if it applies to you too...

[Q] Xperia X10a, confusion about the bootloader, and its ability to be unlocked

I have an x10a, and I have for a while. But, its getting old, and boring. I wanted to spice it up with a custom ROM, namely Cyanogenmod. But going through the steps, xflashtool doesn't seem to want to play ball, informing me that "Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked".
I've flashed it before, but only back to stock. This time I want something new.
Now, I've googled around and I've found a few pieces of information about this, but nothing concrete, and certainly nothing very in-depth.
I need to know;
- Does this mean that my attempts at a custom ROM are just at a halt completely? Too bad for me, try a different phone?
- If not, can I force the bootloader to be unlocked, and will it remove my ability to use the radio capability in the phone? (as I have read in a few places now), because my phone isn't a lot of good without the ability to do phone things.
- If I can force it, how, and are there any downsides?
and bonus round;
- Why are there certain phones that just can't have the bootloader unlocked.
Cheers in advance guys, I'd really like to hear some good news about this, but anything is better than what I have at this point.

2nd: yes you can, there is testpoint method (correct me If I'm wrong)

My X10i is carrirer locked, and I could unlock the boot loader without any problems.
The problem with those who lose their radio capability, is, as I suspect it to be, because they tried SIM-unlock their devices with third party methods in a way that are not supposed to be done. (A "bad" hack method of some kind). Once they unlock the boot loader, they lose that poor third party hack, and the device reverts back to a SIM-locked state. Since most of the people who do SIM-unlock their devices, uses a different carrier, will also lose the radio because of the carrier/SIM lock.
One can safely unlock the boot loader if:
* The device remains SIM-locked and haven't been touched by poor, unknown SIM-lock hacks.
* The device isn't SIM-locked in the first place. (Device was delivered in an unlocked state)
* The device is SIM-unlocked with the proper method, where one get proper unlock codes from their original carrier matched with the IMEI code.

My phone was delivered locked to... Vodaphone? I think. I unlocked it a long time ago. But, I unlocked it by given them my IMEI, and getting the unlock code from them. So, as legit as it gets really. I am still not allowed to just unlock my bootloader. Based on what I've seen in this thread, and a couple of other places, if I force the bootloader to unlock by "less sturdy" means, I should be fine with my sim-unlock, or be able to just contact them again and get a new unlock code.
So, this Testpoint method that TakuyaZ mentioned, anyone able to point me in the right direction for that or an alternative? I can't seem to find a decent tutorial anywhere.

What method did you try to unlock the bootloader with? As far as I know your SIM-unlocked status shouldn't be affected at all, as it is properly unlocked, with the radio accepting all carriers. (Radio part of the device is semi-isolated from the rest of the system)
Try this method, and you should be fine: (But I cannot promise anything. If you do try it, you're on your own.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277
It's the method I used on a few X10i devices. Works on SIM-locked devices (They'll remain SIM-locked after, as it should be), as well as unlocked devices that previosly has been SIM-locked, but unlocked with the proper codes from the carrier. They remained SIM-unlocked after unlocking the boot loader. Good news that is.
So if you really know that your device has been properly SIM-unlocked with codes delivered from the carrier that locked the device in the first place, you should be fine. A.f.a.i.k, the only ones that lost their radio on their devices, are the ones who used improper third party hacking methods to SIM-unlock their devices.
Warning: If you are not 100% sure about what method that has been used to SIM-unlock your device. Stop. And turn back.
Alright, attempting the method posted above, I have hit a snag. I then proceeded to hit the same snag over and over again, trying minutely different methods.
My problem is with the qsd8250_semc tool.
The most I can get out of it is;
"

Getting ROOT rights.

Did you try with Flashtool? Don't use the newest version, you need 0.9.10 release. From http://androxyde.github.io/ There is a thread on here some where ill inbox you the link if I find it.
But it is easy as to do. By memory I think you click the padlock in flashtool to root phone then click on the plugins and you have the option to unlock boot loader with a click. Not sure if you have to add recovery first? Get the older version of flashtool though.
I'm sure someone will remember and help :good:

The only things needed on the X10 part is it to have original (Stock) firmware with Android 2.1 or 2.2, with the original 2.6.29 kernel.
Also one need to enable debugging over USB (Debug Bridge) in the developer settings. And lastly need the drivers installed if using Windows. (Which I assume is the case here)
Once that's done, it should all work.
I've written a Linux script if anyone needs it. Still need the other files from the original qsd8250.7z toolset from the_laser's thread. See attached files.
Place qsd8250_semc.bash in the same director as qsd8250_semc.cmd, then execute it.
One also need Linux-version of the adb command, and in the system PATH variable.

Moto G Power (2020) XT2041DL Tracfone Bootloader Unlock? Mods? Root?

Hi everyone, long time xda lurker, first post. I bought a family member an unlocked Moto G Power (2020) for Xmas and 5 months later it took a fatal ride in the laundry machine The prices now for an unlocked phone aren't so great, so I bought the Tracfone version (XT2041DL) that I hoped to be able to modify back into a vanilla "Retail" phone. My problem isn't with the carrier lock (it will stay on a Tracfone carrier for many years), but with the bootloader lock. If I understand correctly, Tracfone won't unlock the bootloader even after carrier unlocking, so there's no way to install the vanilla "retail" ROM on it? Even if not possible to load a different ROM, at the very least I want the ability to remove the added carrier bloatware that Tracfone installs, but doesn't this require root?
I believe that one other user of this forum mentioned getting XT2041DL root, but with a locked bootloader, won't that still prevent me from making any permanent changes to the system folder? I did manage to find one guide at the following website, but I don't know if it's a reliable source of information [link] or if it will allow me to accomplish my goal. If I'm stuck with Tracfone's version of the ROM I will probably just return it and take the financial hit of the unlocked retail. Also, forgive me if I sound uninformed, I'm still very much a novice although I've managed to root a few items previously with the help of xda guides. Really appreciate the insight or advice from the community here.
You can remove bloatware with ADB shell commands.

TracFone won't unlock the bootloader. I've tried the guide in the link OP posted and it doesn't work. One of the ADB commands does bring up the unlock warning but does nothing from there. Unfortunately the only way to unlock the BL is through Motorola's website. If you're phone is eligible, they'll send a code to unlock the phone.

I don't think tracfone is eligible to be boatload unlocked that is the whole question where it started..not sure what adb shell cmd you are referring too? Is that work for your XT2041DL? Or you have other moto g power variants?

Question Can anyone upload the boot.img if they can find it?

I'm trying to flash Magisk, but seeing as there is no TWRP yet, the only method is by patching the boot.img. If anyone could get their hands on that and upload it, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
I have been looking around for it on the oneplus site and can't seem to locate it. <did you get the bootloader unlocked?
Not yet because none have been unlocked yet. Hopefully by about 60 days in they will be willing to unlock it.
If I actually had the skills to do it <i would just pay the little bit of change for the phone just to have it unlocked. Sigh I thought oneplus had a decent sized community for messing with these thngs.

Usually, yes but sadly T-Mobile is only (as far as I'm aware) giving these phones out on contract so unlocking is not possible yet.
It's possible to buy one of these on the oneplus store, too, now. I've ordered one, and I'm hoping that since it's not affiliated with any particular carrier, it'll be factory-unlocked?
We'll see, but if all goes well I may be able to upload a boot image wednesday or thursday.
Edit: though, I'm skeptical. Even if you have a boot.img, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, can you really install Magisk?
And if you have an unlocked bootloader, you should be able to extract the boot.img file yourself using `fastboot`. Or at least, such extraction is possible.

If not then I guess we'll wait a while and see if T-Mobile will be generous enough to unlock the device for us. I'm sure they'll understand since OnePlus has a long history of allowing mods.

Sorry I cannot help with that, update full zip hasn't been posted by OnePlus on its support website, so stock boot.img cannot be retrieved from payload.bin
I've gotten my device, and it is fully unlockable - I've now unlocked fastboot.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get fetching partitions via fastboot to work - I think the OnePlus Nord N200 5G might not support it.
I'm thinking the easiest way forward would be to get a TWRP build working, and use that to retrieve the boot image? Or just wait until oneplus posts a full update zip, if they do that.

Ah I see, you bought it from the OnePlus Store. That's awesome to hear! Sad about the partitions though. I'm wondering if the N100 TWRP build would be similar enough to use as a base for the N200, I'm no expert on any of it but it seems quite reasonable.
Perhaps somebody can do full system dump and find boot

You don't need to pay it off to get your device unlocked. mobbdeep unlocked my phone even though it wasn't paid off yet and the OEM unlock option isn't greyed out anymore.
However, there's something that's been bothering me: With T-Mobile branded OP devices, you have to fill out an unlock request form on their website to unlock the bootloader. However, I checked their form and there's no option to request an unlock token for the N200 5G, so I'm not even sure if the bootloader can be unlocked on the Nord N200 just yet. Granted, I haven't tried to unlock the bootloader on my device yet. Can someone else try and unlock the bootloader on their N200?

Question Verizon bootloader unlock

How would unlock my bootloader with ONLY root? My Verizon Pixel 6 is temporarily rooted via the dirty pipe exploit. There is no way to unlock my bootloader (officially), and was wondering if it's possible to use my temp root to allow oem unlocking? (currently grayed out)

No, it's fine here. There are a bunch of threads regarding bl unlock with a Verizon branded device going all the way back to the P3. But I am curious too since temp root was always something that was thought to be the key to unlocking the OEM switch and unlocking. But I don't think it will work from the few posts I've seen. I'm not sure but I think you can get the switch to show active but it doesn't change the function of it or allow it to bl unlock in fastboot. Perhaps I missed the discussion and maybe I should search for it, right? lol I don't have much interest since I will never buy a Verizon device that can't be unlocked but I still am curious.
I see that you cross posted your request to this thread. We should continue it here... and close this thread. No point now.
Verizon Pixel 6 Pro Bootloader Unlock?
Its been a very long time since i have done any of this stuff. I bought the verizon version and cannot get bootloader unlocked. I have searched and see there has been the same problem in the past models. Is there a bypass or workaround? I can...
forum.xda-developers.com
Temp rooot is usually the first step to bootloader unlocking from how I remember it.
However, an exploit or app or something else will still be needed to unlock the bootloader.
A good example would be Sunshine exploit for HTC/Verizon HTC devices. Verizon was always much more difficult because HTC allowed for bootloader unlocking, but Sunshine took it further with a full unlock with "S-OFF" which stands for Security Off (the phone comes S-ON).
So since Verizon made HTC block us from unlocking bootloader/root. Getting temp-root was essential to the unlock/S-OFF.
