HELP!! I have a Moto E XT1021 from Cricket, and it doesn't qualify for unlocking bootloader from the Motorola website. nor can I gain root with any other methods without unlocking the bootloader. Rooting my device is all I'm interested in. Has anyone found away around this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks....

If unlocking downloader is not possible then as of now there is no way to root.

Yes, help! Cricket has released the Moto e xt1021 to Walmart and the bootloader is not supported for unlock. Please, this is a nightmare! It doesn't work right and it has 4.4.4-7 on it already! The people of Walmart need help. This is a disaster!
Any idea why Cricket/Walmart have this policy? Is there a link to a statement about it?
I just bought a Moto-E from Ting and unlocked the bootloader without a problem. Return the phone and sign up with Ting. It is potential a cheaper option anyway.
me too

At&t owns aio /cricket. At&t refuses to participate in Motorola unlock program. They are a real stick in the mud. Well, that's fine. We don't have any rebels here anymore. I suppose the days of doing things like this just to say you did them are coming to an end. Maybe Sunshine will update. I hope AT&T GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. I am a humble ewok, I am no match for the Death Star. All I can do is put my phone in airplane mode and throw it at them; like a rock.
Sunshine may support it when the 3.0 version comes out.
Is anyone willing to experiment with their phone a bit at the risk of bricking it? PM me! I wanna try to get this thing rooted.

I got one of these today. It goes back tomorrow to be replaced with one that is NOT Cricket (AT&T) or Verizon. I got it for $52.00 after tax and it would be WELL worth the extra cash IF any to get one that can be rooted. AT&T might as well merge with Apple. It is a match made in Hell.
So...
Bump, with info.
What about this? http : // blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader . html (I would have made it into a link, but I'm new... all I did was add spaces)
I don't know much about phones but if there was a way to issue a command to blow the appropriate q-fuse, it should (in theory) unlock the bootloader right then and there, allowing the whole rooting process to happen... I just don't know what commands to issue or how to do so. Could someone smarter than I am please look into this? While I'd rather not brick my phone I'd be willing to test a couple of things if need be... (Moto E second gen). The author of that post seems to have actually been successful in unlocking a bootloader that way, but I don't have such extensive knowledge.
I spent a good two and a half hours with Cricket, going around and around. They are NOT owned by AT&T, they just use their towers. Or at least that's what two different representatives from some call center said. *shrug* I still think they're in bed with each other, so they're still crap any way you slice it.

Because Cricket belongs to AT&T, and AT&T are the spawn of the devil.
If it's good for the consumer, AT&T are against it.
I feel like we can get somewhere with this article:

I've tried downloading the code, installing Python, and executing the script, but I get a syntax error on line 45. I know practically nothing about Python, so I'm stuck, but I'm hoping there are some expertise here that can help.
Help unlocking bootloader for XT1021 Cricket variant
Has anyone come up with a fix for this? I have the same problem - replaced my broken older Samsung with a gently used Cricket variant of the Moto E XT1021. Seems like this is the only one that Motorola will not allow the bootloader unlock? Anything to be done?

How are you with technical stuff? I'm by no means a developer, but I posted a link just before your post (see post #14). I understand the concepts, but I can't tell what's going wrong in my Python execution. If you can visit the Git linked in that blog, I've posted an issue in hopes that the original developer might help, but haven't gotten any love yet.
Ok so I got a new ZTE Overture 2 from Cricket and it's running Lollipop 5.1. I was wondering if the bootloader is unlocked, if so then can my phone be Rooted? I heard that you can root lollipop 5.1 with KingRoot but I don't want to try it yet until I know for sure that it's possible. If anyone else has done it and had success can talk please tell me. I have also heard that you can change KingRoot to SuperSU after you have rooted your phone with KingRoot. This way it takes away all the Chinese Stuff. So can anyone help me and figure out if it's possible? And BTW I just got it and it's on Basic Plan and it's 4G LTE.
I've tried rooting with Kingroot 4.5 and didn't work. Really wish it could be rooted..
just rooted my ZTE Overture 2 from Cricket with kingoroot now i'm looking for a rom , still no luck yet
How did you get it rooted????? Been trying for weeks with mine!
Yes, how did you get it rooted?? I think it has a locked bootloader so any root that is acquired will be lost once the phone is restarted.
Hey everyone ! I just bought a Lenovo ( or Motorola xD ) G4, that is really a fantastic device ! But to root it, i saw that i have to unlock the bootloader, and i loose the warranty definitely because of it... And because of it's 2 year warranty, i'm searching a solution for rooting, as kingroot, to root it !
Thank you so much by advance !
Try to root is using Minimal ADB, Fastboot Tools, and Moto G4 or Moto G4 Plus Drivers

Thanks, but i've asked if someone found a way without unlock bootloader ^^
As with Kingroot, or any software ^^
Can Anyone Make A Video On Doing This Root Method? Or Possibly Just Helping Me Out. Had The 5.1 Lollipop And Used The Klickit Tool Which Then Unlocked Bootloader,Gave Me Twrp Which I Then Flashed SuperSu. Pretty Easy Right?Well I Was Given A Replacement Which Had 6.0 MM And I'm Completely Lost On How To Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP Which Will Allow Me To Then Flash SuperSU If Someone Could STEP BY STEP Video That Would Mean A Lot And Give Me Some Better Understanding. Thank You For Your Time Everyone And I Appreciate All The Work And Everything I Have Been Learning On How To And Just In General On XDA!!!! I'm Currently On 6.0 MM The T-Mobile LgV10
It's very easy to do. Just Google Search how to unlock the bootloader on the V10. What model are you using? Is it a T-Mobile , Atat etc?

I have the t mobile variant. Every time I attempt to unlock it states it's unlocked but when I reboot the phone. Or does not inform me I'm unlocked like how it did when I had the 5.1 lollipop. Also then try and get twrp and root but no luck. Please give me a email or pm.
I really want to root my lg g8x mainly to install viper4android to get a tiny bit better quality out if the device speakers. Ive searched everywhere and can not for the life of me find an actual method of rooting. Those one click root apps (ei: towelroot kingroot etc have NEVER worked for me on any device, let alone a relatively new one. If anyone has a method of rooting this device pointing me in the right direction would be very greatly appreciated
I don't think LG has released the .bin file to unlock the bootloader. With the bootloader locked, you cannot root just yet.
I too want to root and get out all the bloatware.
