No, even if you could flash RetUS or other Retail software, the code you need to send to Motorola will still be the same.

Can we get a thread to consolidate information about the locked bootloader?
I need root, and waiting for an exploit to root might take a long time (or never), so the only other option is to get the phone unlocked?
Is the manufacturer able to unlock the bootloader? Is there a way to splice a root into a factory update?
SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are totally separate, so none of the 'unlock' services frequently advertised will be able to unlock the bootloader?
I'm am seriously frustrated by not having boot access, to the point that I am considering selling the phone and getting an HTC or Sony.
What really sucks is I bought this phone off-contract directly from Samsung because I thought only Carriers phones had bootloader locks.
FYI my version is the SM-G9250 (Asia spec phone).
That sucks.
I recommend you return or sell it and buy a T Mobile S6 or S6 Edge. After 14 days of purchase, they will unlock the phone. Also, it comes with unlocked bootloader and root is now available.
How do you check if bootloader is locked or not? I have an international version (F).
Thanks

Perfect.. Thanks
Liking this phone more and more...
Unfortunately I spend most of my time in Asia, so I don't have much of a choice. This phone has more coverage...and there is no cooling off/return period in Taiwan. I can only sell it as a used phone.
So the T-Mobile us version comes with an unlocked bootloader? This is the deciding factor of me purchasing this device .

This is amazing. I never knew T-Mobile did this. What's the protocol for unlocking after the first 14 days?
I think its 40 days, or something similar
just call them and ask them, they will tell you exactly how you do it
I'm from other country holding the G925I version
how do I check if the bootloader is locked or not?
I'm So EXCITED! Samsung provides factory bootloader unlocking!
I posted the details here:

Is the boot loader in the Hong Kong version locked too?
Hiya, does anyone know if the Canadian version (SM-G925W8) comes with a locked bootloader? I'm trying to root the device but it just keeps failing in odin.
According to this, the latest update for T Mobile locks the boot loader guys. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3096169
Hey I just purchased the Moto E xt1527 5.0.2 I am wondering if you can achieve unlock out of the box, as well as root? I read that the xt1526 were unable to be unlocked? My carrier is cricket if that helps. Thanks!
Xt1526 most definitely unlockable.... You can go to Motorola website and see if your phone is able to do so. In pretty sure it is. If you look elsewhere on forum you should see many things for xt1527
Sent from my Moto E 2015 LTE
Unfortunately, cricket is now owned by AT&T. And they will not allow you to unlock the boot loader. In dealing with the same
I have had att and unlocked my Samsung galaxy 2 active as well as my HTC one m8 on att?
According to Motorola, they don't have an agreement with att to unlock the bootloader.

Have you tried https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a to see if you can unlock the bootloader? I was thinking about buying the cricket device, depending on if this works or not.
Hi, can i unlock the bootloader by the motorola's page with the verizon locked phone? or do i need a unsigned model to get the BL unlocked?
Can i put a global unsigned firmware to my Verizon MOTO E 2015 or can i only put my verizon's firmware on it?
Can i still use network on a global debloated firmware?
Thanks afterwards!
>can i unlock the bootloader by the motorola's page with the verizon locked phone?
No.
>do i need a unsigned model to get the BL unlocked?
Only the AT&T/GoPhone/Cricket branded XT1527 and the Verizon XT1528 cannot be bootloader unlocked. All the other variants can be unlocked via Moto.
>Can i put a global unsigned firmware to my Verizon MOTO E 2015 or can i only put my verizon's firmware on it
You can only put Verizon's firmware on it. If you try to flash another region's firmware, it won't validate (or worse, you'll get a perma. brick).
>Can i still use network on a global debloated firmware?
Doesn't apply to the Verizon model, but on bootloader-unlockable models, yes you can flash another region's firmware (don't flash the other region's radio/modem) or custom ROMs and the network works fine.
I bought my moto e 2015 from at&t and Im currently trying to root it but the motorola website says it is not eledgible to unlock the bootloader i would like to know if there is another way to unlock the bootloader or if i just cant

No. AT&T and Verizon branded models are blocked from using the unlock site. Thank your carrier.
A list of eligible CID's for bootloader unlocking can be found on Motorola's forums here:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/230/thread-id/2654/page/1
I too have an AT&T Go Phone XT 1527 model that is not unlockable apparently.
Yes, we can "thank" our carrier. I would suggest going here and giving your two cents. Maybe if enough people make noise about it, AT&T might reconsider their stance. But I doubt it.

I'm planning to import a brand new Japan version of Pixel 6 from a shop. I was told that the phone is not locked to any specific carrier and can be used on any network. Since the phone is not carrier locked, is that mean the bootloader can also be unlocked? Is there any relation between locked carrier and locked bootloader? I wanna buy a phone which can have unlocked bootloader. The shop people said they won't be able to check OEM Unlocking status.
you can unlock the bootloader. I have Japanese version and i changed the model to International and again locked it.
Have a look here.
Cheers
Tom
