Hey guys,
I had emailed moto a coupled of days ago asking them if the bootloader is unlocked for the RAZR in India, here's the response:
Response Via Email (Harsh Dhawan) 25/12/2011 10.55 PM
Dear Mr. Richeek Dey,
Thank you for writing us at Motorola Customer Care.
With reference to your mail regarding MOTOROLA RAZR XT910, we would like to inform you that Boot Loader in this handset is unlocked from Motorola in India.
Please Note: We do not recommend you to upgrade handset's OS unofficially, as doing the same will void it's warranty and also may lead it to complete dead.
You may also alternatively call us direct at the following number:

Cheekrox, can you do fastboot OEM unlock and see if it does accept the command?
If your device can be unlocked, I should be able to unlock all the GSM RAZRs out there.

3) BP SBF Flash
4) BP only
5) BP HW Diag & Boot AP
6) BP Tools
I what do I do now? N do i select using the power key?
any change that command is disabled because the phone is factoty unlocked so that command is unneed?
Select AP Fastboot, then on your PC use the fastboot binary to execute "fastboot oem unlock".

Explain "on your PC use the fastboot binary to execute "fastboot oem unlock" please.
i used cmd to navigate to /android/../platform-tools/fastboot
Which command do i use?
i dont find any oem unlock command.
use cmd, go to the folder where u have fastboot.exe
and then key in "fastboot oem unlock" without quote then enter.
then copy paste the feedback here.
Okay, here's the response:

That's weird...coz the Moto rep confirmed that it IS unlocked. Any other way to find out? Or anybody else to email in Moto? Somebody in a higher level?
Your device is locked and can't be unlocked. You also see on the bootloader "Device is LOCKED".
Yeah, they said the same to me prior buying it, then SURPRISE: it was LOCKED and not unlockable.

Oh yeah! Damn. Is there no way to unlock it? Should I ask send them an email again or something? I mean, its on record...they can't lie on record...=P
Obviously there's no way, until they release an unlockable bootloader.
And anyway I don't find this to be so fair 'cause when I bought it they said the same thing they said to you.

Well, I rushed them another email. I'll keep u posted when they reply.
Sure, but they won't reply anymore now, I'm almost sure of this.
Maybe if we could test a newer release, could be that some are locked and some are unlockable no...

I've copied and pasted it from sony's email, unless it was provided to me in the incorrect case, I doubt that's the issue.
I've worked a way around my task that did not require bootloader unlocking, but any additional assistance would be appreciated.
I've got the same problem with unlocking the bootloader from my Sony Xperia Tablet Z Wifi (SGP312,FW 10.3.1.C.0.136). In service menu there is written, that my device is unlockable, so i get unlock key from sony, but i can't unlock.
When i write in cmd
Code:

Allowing use of custom kernel needed to use non stock rom ( CM, omni, aosp based roms)
Sorry to jump in on this post but....
I have rooted my SGP321 (Tablet Z 16GB LTE) but I get when I check and enter the code to see if I can unlock my bootloader I get a NO returned
Does this mean there is no way around unlocking it?
Sorry for the questions. (I wish it was as easy as installing ROM's on my HTC One)
Finally bootloader is unlocked!
I sent another email with IDID to Sony instead of serialnumber and the key i received worked to unlock bootloader.
@N345H: i'not sure, but NO seems to be NO
so if we contact sony to get the bootloader unlocked. if anything went wrong after that, can we just relock, and restore the drm key and send it in for warranty? any has any experiences to share?

I know HTC keeps track of unlocks not sure if Sony does if you were able to restore ta and.go.back to stock I would think it would be ok. Sony is pretty good. I had a xperia arc unlocked had some issues restored and sent it in and they still fixed it no charge

I unlocked my drive and read the warnings, and Sony says it depends on your warranty. you should check your own if you have one. Mine is voided. They also mention additional cost for repair for an unlocked device.
I ordered a Redmi note 4 through Amazon India, came out alright, all properly sealed and everything but one thing caught my attention is that on developer settings the phone unlock status says it's already unlocked! How can this be possible?
That's weird. Did you call a customer service centre? If I'd receive such product my first though would be to confirm if the Mido I got is a refurbished one or 1st hand. And even if it's one, then the Xiaomi guys should have relocked it... Maybe it's a software bug, try restarting. And the ultimate way to confirm is to use your PC, and you know the rest I hope.
Well, if you feel you can replace it (maybe) talk to amazon guys and confirm if they cover such thing in their replacement policy. Good luck.

How to check if it's refurbished via PC?
Maybe you have RN4x, it is default unlocked... You can check your box, if it is with chinese language you have 4x, if you have with english lang. it is RN4 Global version and it is locked default...
Edit: also check if it is Snapdragon 625 version or maybe it is MTK?

You have to check if the bootloader is really unlocked or not. For this download this zip - https://drive.google.com/open?id=13Sjej5zIJPm_yiJQOVR4rEocwbhDc9oh
Unzip in pc and inside the platfrom-tools folder hold shift and right click.
In the menu it should say, open command prompt here or open powershell here.
click on the provided item (whatever of both it shows)
now, boot your device in fastboot by switching it off and holding down the power and volume down. Once the fastboot mode is open, connect your device via cable to your pc.
Now if you opened a command prompt window then type in -
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will show the connected fastboot devices. If nothing is printed on screen on executing command, then try reconnecting.
then type -
Code:
fasboot oem device-info
But if you have powershell then type in
Code:
.\fastboot devices
and
Code:
.\fastboot oem device-info
This will return some data and now you have to check the first two parameters saying "device tampered" and "device unlocked".
If device unlocked says true, then that means someone had actually used the device before. and if device tampered says true, then definetly someone has tested out your device, by doing all kinds of stuff like installing roms etc.
Use the mi flasher and flash the most current xiaomi rom. Your rom is probably a vendor rom, which is bad.

Thanks for making it easy for me. ?
Sometimes sellers unlock bootloader to flash other roms version. It's usually on online selling where there is Chinese roms on devices and buyers want global version.
As allready ppl stated, check by adb fastboot to see if its really unlocked.

You should contact xiaomi for this. And the seller from which you bought it. Because 98% of companies aren't allowed to sell phones with unlocked bootloader. Just leave it as it is. Tampering it by yourself would mean that you yourself did something to phone, which u haven't (not much, what u did is ok) . So getting in touch with the company and the provider would be a better option.

Most probably yea. Also you should report this in mi a1 forums as well. And you can google to find instructions for flashing update via fastboot.
Dear all,
I bought Mi Pad 4 and it was running well, and I want to update the ROM. The device is comes with Locked bootloader.
I unlocked my Mi Pad 4 using MI Unlock. And when I try to relock it using "fastboot oem lock" command, it become suddenly comes with black screen with written: "The system has been destroyed. Press power button to shutdown".
So I entered the fastboot mode and try some command/solutions:
- My device status is locked:
E:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.006s
- I can't unlock it using Mi Unlock:
- Flashing using MiFlashalso not allowed since it is still locked:
- I tried to unlock using fastboot, also failed:
E:\adb>fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device
)
finished. total time: 0.003s
- The faastboot screen in my mi pad is only for around 10 Second. After that it goes to "The System has been Destroyed" stage...
Any help is appreciated, because I cant use it anymore...
Why did you even want to close the BL again?!? I dont understand anyone who does that.
And AFAIK you can flash an original Image from Xiaomi even with locked BL. But I have never done it and the guide shows a working phone..
http://en.miui.com/thread-835254-1-1.html
You need the Mi-Flash Tool. And these damn Indian people with their fake titles on youtube.. The title is english and the freaking video is hindi or whatever.. SO ANNOYING!!!
Hi, the tutorial you gave is for 'normal' xiaomi phone, where it boot normally (even its BL is locked).
In my case, I cant load the BL (It said: Destroyed). The only thing I can do is restart to fastboot state, and after 20 seconds it goes again to Destroyed state.
Ok, so I have read some other threads and what seems the "only" solution is to unlock the bootloader again.. But the other people had no problem running "oem unlock".. And you get an error, what is kinda strange.
What happens in MiUnlock? Error?
Hi, I think the main problem is current status is "The System has been Destroyed", therefore it cannot load the BL.
Meanwhile, the BL is in Locked status. So it need to be un-locked first, so I can load the new ROM.
MIUnlock is error, it said: "Current account is not bound to this device", which is strange, because previously I unlocked using it before.
I assume MIUnlock said this because the status of "System destroyed"...
Never lock if there is not 100% Xiaomi official rom inside, and better use MiFlash with "clean all and lock" option for locking.
Thanks for your suggestion. Will do that after I fix this problem..
I think you have a bricked device.. Some devices have this "test-pins", where you can enable some debug-bridge and there you could flash it (mi5 or redmi5 was that in that thread). I dont know if the Pad4 has such Pins and you would have to open the whole device.. (its not something you can access from the outside).
But I dont know if the Pad has these test-pins, just because another Xiaomi device had it..
Noted on that, but too risky for me to open the case..
Any other solution would be really appreciated.

On some devices you have to login your Mi Account with MiFlash when flashing in EDL mode and account needs special permissions.

Yup, and I cant do that since cannot load the BL, because it's "Destroyed" right now..

The only solution was already posted several times -> open device, find test-pins, use them and flash ROM. And yet, you still ignore it everytime. THERE is no other solution for bricked devices.
And: NEVER close the bootloader again on NON official ROMs.
2 ways to try out...
1st run
"fastboot flashing unlock"
2nd
"fastboot oem reboot EDL"
Or this link if the command doesn't work
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....e-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292/amp/
go to service centre they will be able to restore the device using edl i hope
I tried also all solutions, but nothing helped. EDL, fastboot, etc.
If there is a way to unlock the BL again I can go on. Otherwise there will be no chance for me to get it running.
Has anyone got a solution how I can unlock the BL again? Or flash with locked BL?
Thanks!

Looks like it is straightforward to remove the back cover. Perhaps you can find the EDL test points on the motherboard?

Not that unusual.
Sometimes there's a time delay, and required connection to WiFi or LTE.
Also sometimes a factory reset will ungray the OEM unlock toggle.
I suggest a factory reset, then connect to wifi if it's still grayed out, it may take a few days to change.
Also you can check the CID code list in my Bootloader unlock thread.

Tried factory reset. Tried with and without Wifi after factory reset. I don't have a sim for it yet. So can't get LTE.
Can't find a "CID code" list in your post. Do you mean a list with CID's that lets you know if your phone can be unlocked? I found my CID is allowed for unlocking on Motorola's site.
Do you know why a delay might work? You think there is a timer or something for unlocking?
Thanks

There's a link in my Bootloader unlock thread, to the official cid list, you likely have seen already.
I don't know if wifi/lte is needed just going by what has been reported in the forums for last few years.
You can wait or return the device, there isn't any other options that I know of.

How many days should I wait before returning the phone? Is there any way to know before buying which ones are bootloader unlocked?

I've seen anywhere from mins to a couple of days reported, No pattern that I can see.
Factory reset, and connecting to the internet seem to help.
You could try Flash rescue with LMSA, but I haven't seen replies that helps.
If the CID is good, and you can get the unlock code from moto site, I don't know what else could be the issue.

So after three days, I did another factory reset. Nothing changed. I then used the KingRoot app. I clicked on Root, it didn't give me a confirmation. But when I went to the Developer Settings I could enable "OEM unlocking"!!! I then used <fastboot oem unlock "key"> on the bootloader and the device is unlocked now. Can't find twrp or any ROMs for this device though
I can confirm a three day time gate on the Moto G Play 2021 I got through T-Mobile Monday. The OEM Unlock has been greyed out since I first booted. Today, Thursday, after the 72 hour window, the toggle became accessable.

I bought a Moto G Play 2021 unlocked from best buy yesterday. I can't enable "OEM unlocking" in Developer Settings. It is grayed out.
I factory reset a few times.
The phone CID is listed as a phone that can be unlocked on the Motorola site. I got the unlocking key from the Motorola site through a process that sends an email out with the key. Then I run <fastboot oem unlock "key">, but I get
(bootloader) Check 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings > Developer
(bootloader) Options
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I don't think any fastboot command will work as long as the "OEM unlocking" is grayed out and disabled in settings.
Called Motorola. They offer no help.
I'm new to custom ROMs and having a hard time. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Is it a Verizon phone asking because since Verizon doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked it could be reason why

Weirdly (or absurdly), yesterday I found a Lenovo forum post that says it might take up to a week to get OEM Unlock. I posted on it (here) to see if anybody else has had the same experience that I'm still in the middle of -- THREE days, on WiFi, still no unlock.
Strange(r) thing is the "advice" from Moto/Lenovo in the link relates to a 3-year-old phone. I bought a Moto G6 (carrier-unlocked & BL-unlockable -6) in mint condition, updated to latest Pie (April 2020 security patch).
But maybe the G6/plus/play is just extra-odd? I've owned and rooted or unlocked 6-8 Moto phones (see my sig, not a complete list) and I've never in the past waited more than a few minutes to get OEM Unlock enabled. And all it took with my lady's Moto G Stylus '21 was making a WiFi connection, as has been super-typical for me.
I guess I'm just babbling out of frustration. Seems this mystery only gets weirder.
Edit to add, your last comment addresses one niddly little question I put forth in my post linked above . . . my CID (0x032) says the phone is unlockable, and I already got the unlock code from Moto. Is there ANY other detail, in getvar or anywhere, that might reveal that a phone is NOT unlockable?

The CID is the only thing to look at, that I know of.
Usually, OEM unlock is available within 3 days, but some have reported a couple of weeks.
Factory Reset seems to help if it's been over 3 days, but you will need to reconnect to the internet.

Thanks man. I haven't tried FDR yet, afraid of starting the countdown all over again. But if I don't get unlock in the next day or two I'll give it a shot.
Edit-- I was wondering as much as anything if maybe this phone could be an unlockable Amazon variant that had been blasted with stock firmware to hide the fact. But I don't even know how that could be done.

If it was an Amazon version the CID would be different.
The getvar all will have the software channel and other info
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Ah ok. Yeah I ran getvar all yesterday, found the CID and confirmed I'm on RetUS channel. Much obliged sd_shadow, as always, you're a super-reliable source of help and info here on XDA.

You're on RetUS so you should be good, if unlocking was blocked it would be the Amazon channel
Do you have gaumna?
Amazon isn't even listed on lolinet.
That doesn't mean there isn't an Amazon channel, but it's not likely.

Ooooh dang. I mangled this convo. Clarification, the Moto G Stylus (not Play) is my lady's phone. The phone I'm currently struggling with is a G6 (unlocked version XT1925-6). That one is Ali. Her Stylus is codename Minsk. I unlocked and rooted her Stylus (via Magisk patch) months ago, no problems there. Serious apologies for channeling down the wrong road in this thread.

Sorry, but you're ****ing out of luck. Nokia ****ing dead-locked their phones, and there's no way to unlock them. Next time, go buy another phone from another OEM instead of this ****ing one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-do-i-unlock-the-bootloader-for-nokia-x10.4323507/ I've also asked a similar question to yours before, and...People told me that there's no ways to unlock those new Nokia phones' bootloaders anymore. You can try contacting their customer support, but I don't think it will work. I contacted them before so I can unlock my Nokia X10's bootloader, but they just kept dodging my question and sent some automated answers instead

no problem, and now I'm charging at the customer service email again. I will try to annoy them, and see if that'll make them unlock my bootloader

I hope so, past attempts has proven unsuccessful, as said before. I hope that I will manage to talk them into unlocking my bootloader though. I wish I am good at social engineering or something similar to that, lol

A whole full year later....
How did your attempt go? Was you able to talk them into unlocking the bootloader, or did they use excuses like "security" and "stability" again?

Wow i didn't think this thread is gonna get revived in a year.
Well i did contact Hdm but exactly like you staded they used security as an excuse so i wasn't able to unlock the bootloader.
My phone still works but when it breaks i will switch over to smasung because bootloader unlock there is very easy.

well, here's some news for hoping: Hikari_Calyx acquired a few prototype units of HMD/Nokia phones (some of which look suspiciously similar to the Nokia X10/20), and with cases like this (he extracted a prototype ABL image for bootloader unlocking), one can hope that the Nokia X10/20 will be unlocked in the same way as the XR20 (minus the step of acquiring full access to tri-color company's Device Kit, of course, **** that kit)
