Thanks for the direction. I’m not sure if oem unlock and unlocked bootloader are the same thing, in developer option on my oneplus n200 g5 metro by T-Mobile the option to unlock oem is grayed out and I can’t unlock it from that setting is there another way
This thread has the information on unlocking your bootloader (yes, the OEM Unlock is the same as a bootloader unlock, but the option in the developers option is just one part of unlocking the bootloader, it doesn't unlock it by itself):
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...

If you can run ADB commands, there's one singular command you can run to un-grey out the Enable OEM Unlock option, it's explained in that thread.

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.

Cool to know you were able to do it!! :good:
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.
same question, can anyone suggest?

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?

That is carrier network unlock, not bootloader unlock.
After that, moto still refuses to unlock bootloader.

Confusing thread, but please read the existing threads on this topic as there are a few.
You need to SIM unlock the phone before you can unlock its bootloader.
If you have the T-Mobile variant, check this thread to see if they can SIM unlock your phone:

No need to reboot, once you finish that, going into Developer options should allow you to set OEM Unlocking to whatever you want. Easy peasy.
If it is from T-Mobile, you'll need to go into bootloader to get the serial, unlock code, and IMEI to submit a ticket to Oneplus for an Unlock Token and then wait a week to get it.
You can skip all of that if it's direct from OnePlus - just toggle OEM unlocking in developer options then go into bootloader mode and 'fastboot oem 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.

Given the OP's post is nearly a year old and they have never replied, it's a pretty good bet he wasn't able to unlock his bootloader. Now, I'm sorry if in your original thread wherein you asked about this for your device you didn't like the answer you were given, but the fact remains that the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro devices on Verizon are very tightly locked down.
Verizon devices are always going to be locked down than my ability to get a partner unless by an exploit.
So, am I correct in assuming I’m unable to do anything with this device until I can sim unlock? Seems that’s a requirement for boot loader unlock. I got one of these for cheap cheap because I need an android device with out gapps but I’m thinking that’s not going to work until it’s sim unlocked. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

A couple pages back there is a thread on how to oem unlock without sim unlock. It involves running a debloat script or using adb to get rid of one service. It goes through every step you need to do to unlock.

No problem, it takes almost exactly a week to the hour to get the code. Rest of the guide should be fairly easy to follow too. Just remember if you ever you the MSMTool to get back to stock it relocks your bootloader. You'll need to unlock it again by using the file OP sends you before flashing other nonstock firmwares again

Once you get the code, you can simply use my dummies guide to full rom backup, convert to US OEM (DE2117), and root and has the "oem unlock bypass" command in the guide.
