...watch it say "Does not include Verizon phones." One can only hope though.
Oooh ... didn't see that.
I tried to register but I no longer have an X2 ...
Has anyone tried to get the unlock codes through this site?

It will not work. It's most likely for the Photon Q and future devices.
This article says that there are currently no supported devices and that there is a "supported device" list but its not working right now. The site just went up so its probably not "active" yet. Not saying we have a chance or anything.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...live-finally-can-unlock-bootloaders-20120817/
according to the blogs the site is not fully functional either at the moment as many who are trying to register come up with an error, but I'm with DZK on this one - more than likely not to work for us.

these are the instructions https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
I can't even get the device id
I. RETRIEVING YOUR DEVICE ID
Put your device in fastboot mode (Power+Vol Down) and connect over USB
Open a command prompt or Terminal session
Go to the Directory where you installed the Android SDK tools, and type:
$ fastboot.exe oem get_unlock_data
This fastboot command will return a character string. This is the Device ID which you will be using to generate your unique unlock key.
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
OKAY
[0.297s]
To generate your unlock code, you’ll need to paste together the 5 lines of output into one contnuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces.. Using the example above, the line you’d send us would be:
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
Enter your continuous string into the "Request Your Unlock Key" section below.
I'm not sure you guys understand. The entire process will require a whole new bootloader to work. We first off don't have the unlock functionally implemented; let alone the "get_unlock_data" variable or whatever it is. The latter is for *new* devices only. Motorola will not write a new bootloader for the X2. And according to my sources, Motorola , the media, and just plain intuition, they've stop development on this phone completely. It sucks to hear it and sucks to say, but it's true.

what if we "steal" another bootloader from a similar phone to ours and then alter it to work with ours? Is that even possible?

Not only is modifying the boooader impossible without the source code, but it must be signed by Motorola. Something that is not possible to do. If it was, we would have done it ages ago.

Heya, I figured I'd show you how to find out if the boot loader is locked. After some toying around and reading around in the Xperia Arc forums, I figured it out myself.
To try this, make sure you have fastboot installed. It's part of the Android SDK so if you don't have it, install it. Alternatively, it's also included in the application PDANet
Hold the search-key on your xperia play and connect the USB cable. The LED should switch on in blue. If you computer complaints that it can't find drivers for the device install the "Android Bootloader Interface" Driver that you can also download with the Android SDK.
Now type in "fastboot devices". If you can see a Hexanumeric code there, like in my screenshot, the boot loader is unlockable.
fastboot oem unlock sadly doesn't work. That would've been the day. Still, it seems it expects a code and no code is "0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" Maybe someone clever can find out how to calculate an unlock code from the Imei? Anyway, have fun with that for now.

They announced that they'll only do this for non-simlocked devices.
I don't know how exactly it'll cost them money tho, if some people use a custom OS on their phone?

It will cost them money because when they abandon the phone the developed community will keep it alive. Meaning no one will buy the next phone.
^^^ Kind of exaggerated.
Where did it say only for non-simlocked? Where can I buy a non-simlocked xperia play?
I bought mine at gum Mobile and they said it's only for sim-unlocked phones on their blog entry.
with Bootloader unlock comes Custom Roms that will eventually create Jailbreak for the phone.. of crouse sony will lose money (or really in this case they will make more money cause more ppl will buy the phone) as the PS3
All right. How will that make sony loose money? What can you do with a rooted phone that you can't do with a normal one that'll cost them money?
doesnt work
Hey
i have tried this many times now, i turn off my phone, wait for 2 minutes (just to make sure) hold down the search key on my Xperia Play and plug in my USB
i have held the key for up to 5 minutes for all keys and none work
when i press the back key, my computer bleeps as if to say it is recognized
the search key, like you say, does nothing but charge my phone
can someone help me please?
Try the other cable that was included with the phone. I think one of them is only able to charge the phone.

Dev builds bootloaders are unlocked but there not released to the public when the builds are released to the public they have locked bootloaders well someone leaked the dev build with an unlocked boot
This makes me a sad panda..... haha. Well, hopefully P3droid has a rooted GB patch. I read a post somewhere saying he has the update and could possibly be looking for testers tomorrow.
P3Droid's twitter account says that he is already looking for people to test his patched update for DX2.
https://twitter.com/#!/P3Droid
I just told him I'd test it, hopefully it works
It works, just flashed it.

They were a tad quiet about that. So much for a press release or anything.
I feel sodomized now...
This is a load of legal BS, which is only to benefit one party (ASUS). I wonder if such one-sided contracts will even stand up in court...
Great news !!!!
This future certainly looks bright !!
Bring on the Roms etc.
unlocking success XD now booting up it only takes a few seconds...
Finally! I really hope this will kickstart development.
strange recovery... only had a look for a few seconds as there is a timecounter in the background, but there is an option to install linux , mnt usb? maybe with FS? and to wipe (I don't want to press the button). I think it checked up the internal storage for some special files, like bootloader in htc for the pd**.img
Basically this unlocker grabs the serial of the CPU, tells the Asus server... Gets back the necessary info to unlock, unlocks the device and leave a marker for warranty thrashing (It mentions some sort of flag), then reboots.
Edit:If anyone was wondering, the serial of the cpu would be independent of the device serial (In format 0245xxxxxxxxxxxx) is acquired from /proc/cpuinfo
Edit2:I believe the unlock server is mdm.asus.com via HTTPS, also I believe it uses the Android device ID as well.
More Info!!! Thanks
couldn't someone just make a app, that does all this, except tell the asus sever our cpu number?
that way they would still think we havent unlocked it?
this is great news, the only problem i see is not being able to recieve OTA anymore. i am sure a dev will figure out a way to get us unlocked primes a way to install/flash them.
This is good to know and I will be keeping an eye out for any results that the community has using it. However, I won't be downloading/installing the tool because my Prime has not been rooted or gone backwards with ICS versions. I want to go the official update route for awhile yet. This is just a personal preference. I have too much money tied up in this unit to void the warranty.

It's a challenge-response thing with the challenge built from the cpu serial and device id (or one of those, or more... Didn't take a close look). Only Asus and the person in possession of the device would know these.
Also they're not stupid enough to just let you throw unlock requests at them without recording them. (After all they do have to look up the keys to unlock the bootloader)
Also they're probably wiping the DRM keys on the device as well, so devs don't go extracting them after they've unlocked their bootloaders.

DD'ing blobs *should* work still, although YMMV.
nice! now let's hope for a good recovery and custom roms!
As much as I want to use this I'm not going too. Don't want to lose my warranty as I dont trust this device with the amount of problems that surround it so far. Also wont get OTA updates. Asus know how to screw over there buyers, should of been unlocked before release.
Hm, did anyone get fastboot to work? For me it stays for ever at the line "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol"

There is not really a usable recovery. Only the OTA one which just shows you an error once you start it. (Because there is no OTA file to apply)
Once booting with VOL_DOWN you can choose between a cold boot, wiping data or entering fastboot mode (which does not really seem to work for me)
I just found this announce from Motorola:

I didn't have the chance to try it, but it will be really exciting if it works on our RAZR!! That would mean a whole new world of custom ROMs!

I found the answerr....
HOW DO I TELL IF MY DEVICE HAS AN UNLOCKABLE/RE-LOCKABLE BOOTLOADER?
This depends on a few factors. First is whether the device ships with a bootloader that is capable of being unlocked or re-locked. Second is whether the wireless carrier that sells the device allows the bootloader to be unlocked, as each of our operator partners has their own policy. As new devices are released, please check the bootloader introduction page. You will be able to check whether your device shipped with an unlockable bootloader. We will be adding devices to this list regularly.
As of August 2012, the only Motorola devices which can be unlocked are:
Photon Q 4G LTE (Sprint)
RAZR Developer Edition (Europe Only)
XOOM Tablets

Why not to use unlocked bootloader from kindle, u-boot.bin ?
http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project said:
SD Card Boot
In the case of loading the u-boot via the SD card, the SD card x-loader looks for a FAT32 partition on the first MMC controller and scans the top level directory for a file named "u-boot.bin". It then transfers the file into main memory and transfers control to it.

I am sure if this was possible some developer would have already figured it out

p/s : someday when I don't need this phone.. I'll kill it this way
If I'm lucky, I'll get to boot an unlocked bootloader.

Use the search engine and look for the thread where unlocking our bootloader is attempted, as long as I remember there was some kind of hardware issue against it and that the omap 4430 chipset in our razr is locked down to take only signed bootloader, which is heavily encrypted by moto.
Even the devs were surprised of what they found when they tore down the chipset (quite different even when compared to the XT910 development edition which comes with unlocked bootloader), whirleyes is very skilled and if he really thought that it worths the risk to try he would have already done, as he said is more possible to kill the phone that way than any other result.

Technical explanation here of the hardware-locked bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21280773&postcount=32
Sadly same chipset doesn´t always mean same hardware configuration.
Ok, but i still dont understand what locked bootloader have to do with loading custom complied omap loader, u-boot.bin ?
http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project
Even if there are some eFuses or reverse Efuses, one time programmable inside this chip, and even if this bootloader can not be decrypted and unlocked, is it possible to unbrick this phone in the way described here to repair phone bricked by this portugese guy ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34488311&postcount=10
If unlocking bootloader is not an option, is unbricking this phone an option ?
Motorola made fake advertisements and news on the net about the bootloader being unlockable where there're no operator obligations but they never offered bootloader unlocking option to any of us. I believe it is never too late, still expecting a bootloader unlock magic happening to this strong and classy device. It would be a killer with a longer life.

I have an unlocked bootloader therefore it can be done. It,s a dev edition and was bought at second hand, so no info about it...
