So I tried several times trying to unlock the bootloader on this thing. It won't work. It's not ATT, so why is it not unlocking? Is there another way and will there be another way?
And will Sunshine work on the Moto E? I don't want to brick my device....

I just bought a moto e and I'm trying to unlock the bootloader and I've tried the website but it said my device cannot be unlocked. Any way around this to unlock and root it.
I've got a Moto E XT1527 that I've been trying to get the bootloader unlocked for. However, after studying it a bit more, I don't think I'm going to be able to.
I bought it from a guy on eBay that said it was factory unlocked. However, once I got it, I noticed an AT&T emblem on the back and when you turn it on it shows the AT&T logo during the boot process. These are signs that it's not factory unlocked, correct? I'm pretty sure it's a Gophone edition of the Moto E.
I've tried getting an unlock code from the Motorola website, but it keeps coming back with "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." After digging some more, I found that the device has a cid of 0x0001, which I also understand means it can't be unlocked, correct?
I went to the device unlock page at AT&T and requested an unlock code with them (giving them the IMEI number). That was today, I haven't yet heard back from them. But even if I do get something back from them, that's not going to help me unlock the bootloader is it?
So, I guess my questions are:
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader for Moto E's that have a cid of 0x0001?
Is the eBay guy an idiot for claiming that the phone is factory unlocked when it's clearly marked as being for AT&T?
Sorry, should this be in the Moto E 2015 forums?
Hi,
Is there a way to unlock the bootloader for my Moto E 2nd Edition without the unlock code from Motorola.
I am having trouble with unlocking the bootloader on my Moto G Play. The Motorola website says this device is not eligible for unlocking but i see other post saying they did it. this is my first attempt at rooting any device and im confused. can anyone help?
Hello all,
I received a Moto G8 Power (Tracfone variant), running Android 11, and have been experiencing quite a few bugs. I read that Android 11 messed up the phone a bit and that downgrading to Android 10 would fix most issues, however, I am unsure how to do this. I first tried to unlock the bootloader of the phone, but I ran into a dead end as I realized the Tracfone variant of the phone is unsupported by Motorola's unlocking program. I have seen a few threads on how to downgrade with an unlocked bootloader, but as I am unable to unlock it, I am unsure of how to go about this (or if it can be done) with the bootloader locked. Though, if there might be a way to unlock the bootloader, I would much rather install a custom ROM to the phone.
To summarize, I wondered if anyone might know if it is possible to downgrade the Moto G8 Power (Tracfone variant) to Android 10 without unlocking the bootloader. Additionally, if it is possible to unlock the bootloader, how I might go about doing this.
Thank you for the help!
