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

I almost bought thru best buy and found out that Verizon/sprint was the service provider. So, I went and bought unlocked at amazon. Hopefully, not what happened to you... There was something about greyed out oem unlocking on this phone somewhere here in XDA. Do a search.

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.

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.

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.
hi It says im unlocked in the unlock app. and I also have the token.bin from oneplus. I can't do anything in adb to unlock becuase i can't seem to unlock the bootloader it's greyed out in the developers options. How do you get the grey out?
i dont follow. you already got the token but cant enable OEM unlock? in order to get the token you need to have had OEM unlock enabled. to enable OEM unlock follow the debloat thread script. it will enable OEM unlock.

I have the token from my last logic board that broke. Since I had to install a new logic board from e bay my IMEI has also changed since that is what it's attached to.
Also I tried contacting the carrier and they said I need the original owners information in order to continue. I stated it's my phone from your company but i just replaced the part. Of course they told me the same thing. That I need the original owners information... Since the IMEI is no longer the same. The IMEI really is just a fingerprint for carriers to track. Doesn't really hold much more significance.
I picked up a secondhand Pixel 4. The seller said that this phone was purchased directly from Google and the only services ever used with it were AT&T prepad and Google Fi, never under any contract. But when I do 'adb reboot bootloader' the device state says locked and the OEM unlock option is greyed out. I have read that some Pixels purchased from Google end up bootloader locked after using Verizon service. If that is the case, is there any hope of getting the bootloader unlocked? Or maybe it got locked by some other means that I'm not aware of. Is there any way to get a history of carriers used with the phone via the IMEI in order to get a better idea of what might be going on?
Also, when I run 'adb shell pm list features' I do notice these lines:
feature:com.verizon.hardware.telephony.ehrpd
feature:com.verizon.hardware.telephony.lte
Does this mean that this is a Verizon model phone? Seems strange that it would have Verizon packages for a Google model phone.
You must have a sim inserted and data turned on for OEM unlocking not to be greyed out. I took a clue I guess from others by inserting my AT&T sim (still greyed out), rebooted (still greyed out), turned on mobile data (still greyed out), and rebooted. Then there was the glorious OEM unlocking option available.
For other clueless people who might read this: I immediately connected my phone via usb to my laptop, shutdown the phone, and held the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot mode. Then from a terminal on my laptop ran 'fastboot flashing unlock', and the phone gave me the option to unlock the bootloader. adb and fastboot were previously installed.
I have seen other people mention the OEM unlocking option becoming available on their carrier version Pixel phones after inserting a not yet activated sim from another carrier. The latest mention that I saw was here in post #3

Same with my pixel 4 xl, i purchased on second hand market. I check the phone imei offline without other carrier sim and it was an at&t set. However, the bootloader option was not grey out. I quickly, unlock the bootloader after that and installed lineage os 18. . No luck for those whom got greyed out.

Mhm me too, but I've got a a03s basically same thing 3gb of ram, 32gb storage, and I've got a galaxy note 9 same issue.. bottom line, Samsung doesn't like you to have your phones bootloader unlocked on some snapdragon devices... My issue is my chipset Is Helio P35 I have no idea what that is, but it's not snapdragon lol, in your case you may have the same chipset, but in my note 9, it's a snapdragon, idk why Samsung does this... Sorry to say buddy

as they said, samsung doesnt like the unlocking of your A02s bootloader because its a snapdragon. However, if you can, try the A03s. It has a mediatek chipset, and should work.

A02s can be unlocked. All you have to do is enable it in the Developer settings, Turn off your device, Go to Download mode by pressing both Volume UP and DOWN button while plugging in your charger or USB cable and then, long press on the Volume UP button as specified on the screen to unlock it.
This will reset the phone and then, after reboot, just enable the developer settings and you should see that OEM Unlocking is greyed out. This means that it has been unlocked.

Keep in mind that some phones are US models, and US Snapdragon models from Verizon generally cannot be unlocked. And keep in mind as well that some models (ex. A037W for A03s) dont support the procedure you provided.
Currently, RSA does not support XT2311-3 for unknown reason. However, I found a ROM for Tracfone, but the boot works with unlocked version.
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822053015
MD5 60f8e629cbe7e969923c07538d6c3c7c
Bootloader unlock required. However, VPN disappeared after bootloader unlocked. You have to set up user account if you need VPN
Note: your phone is wiped during bootloader unlock process. Since RSA does not work with this phone at this time, you may not be able to rescue if something goes wrong.
Note: Titanium Backup does not work with Android 13. You need Swift Backup (pay $2.5 a year to use your choice of cloud service)
You should do it before initial setup. Wi-Fi connection and/or data connection needed for Magisk. Transfer the boot.img downloaded to your phone and patch it with Magisk, and transfer the patched boot back to host computer.
Now reboot the phone to bootloader or fastbootd
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Flash patched boot
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press space once, drag-and-drop the patched_boot onto command window, and press enter.
Post process:
Install the following as modules and you should install Fox's Magisk Module Manager
ADB fastboot
shamiko (you can setup Deny List but you don't have to enable because shamiko takes care of it)
Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0
Systemless host within Magisk
liboemcrypo disabler is not required as it plays Netflix fine after these modules added, and it appears L1 on mine (good)
You can complete setup after root is done. Make sure you add Play Store and Play Services into Deny List as well as any app can detect root
How do you unlock the bootloader on this phone? When I copy & paste my device ID into the Motorola bootloader unlock page and click on "Can my device be unlocked" button, I get a message saying, "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".

Did you purchase your phone through Motorola directly?
I originally ordered a Moto G Stylus 5g (2023) from Amazon and tried several times to get the Motorola site to issue an unlock code. When I tried factory resetting this phone, I got a ROM not found error so I am returning this phone to Amazon. I then ordered a Moto G Power 5G (2023) directly from Motorola. My first attempt at getting an unlock code failed but I kept trying and finally was able to get through the process and now have the unlock code (sent via email).
When I tried to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, I received this message "Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer Options". I have factory reset the Moto G Power 5g (2023) and am hoping the OEM Unlock option will be enabled soon. (If anyone has any 'tricks' on getting this Developer option enabled, please chime in)
If it helps, I used instructions from here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/.../bootloader-moto-unlock-lenovo-motorola-root/
(They have a download for MFASTBOOT, which I did use but I am thinking the old FASTBOOT would work as well)

I got mine from Best Buy
Now there's a workaround for missing VPN
Get App Ops from Play Store and add sui (zygisk) module on Magisk
Check the list on App Ops and allow VPN on app needed
Moreover, Netflix works after USNF @Displax mod added, added Play Store and Play Services in Deny List, and Shamiko module added.
Mine shows L1 and Netflix (and cable TV app) work

I bought mine at Best Buy, but that shouldn't make any difference. It's the unlocked version for use on any carrier, so it should be bootloader unlockable.
I enabled Developer Options, but I noticed that "OEM Unlocking" is grayed out. When trying to Google this and find out why, I came upon a Lenovo forum where people were asking the exact same thing, and Lenovo's response was that the phone needs an Internet or Wi-Fi connection for 7 days before the "OEM Unlocking" option will become available(?!).
Now, I'm wondering if that's what's going on here, and why I'm getting the message that my phone isn't eligible for bootloader unlocking. I guess I'll see in a few days, LOL!

I know this is weird.
Mine takes 7 days and it's on internet/SIM active
Back then my situation was more difficult because even RSA was not ready for the phone (it says not supported). I needed boot.img for rooting
I think I'm on day 2 of waiting... It's only on WiFi as I need the SIM for my old phone. Kind of frustrating that it's not a more immediate result/change.
Yesterday was 7 days from when I bought my Moto G Power 5G, and I checked it this morning - lo and behold, OEM Unlocking is available!
I don't understand the reasoning/desire behind Lenovo's wanting to impose this 7 day waiting period, but it is what it is. Time to {hopefully!} go unlock my bootloader.

What a pain in the a$$!! I had to keep trying over and over before it would work. It worked the first or second time (gave me the option to get an unlock code), but I forgot to put it in bootloader mode, so I got an error. Then, I had to try multiple times before it would give me another chance to get the unlock code (kept telling me my device wasn't eligible for unlock). Finally got it unlocked, and then rooted!
