I have the code, I have the phone in fastboot but the unlock fails and the phone still says locked.
edit: developer options are greyed out on oem unlocking. think I read somewhere you have to wait 3 days. can I get conformation on that? I bought an "unlocked" phone

You must connect Motorola phones to internet if OEM unlock is greyed out.
It can take 3-14+ days after connecting to internet to be available.
Thank you for the confirmation I connected the phone yesterday to the internet

I have am using windows 7. got the latest USB drivers from motorola and the Android SDK. And get a result from D:\fastboot devices command
So it is conected OK. However when I put this command in (below) I get an error message. I copied and pasted directly from the motorola website. I am trying to unlock the phone for a friend (I normally only work on HTCs because they are the most nub friendly/forgiving) anyway moving on. What do I need to do now in order to get this done? I want to unlock the device and get the simlock off so that my friend can run this Rogers phone on Virgin. on bootloader screen the info is thus:
AP fastboot flash mode (s)
0A.74
eMMC info: Size 16G
to return to normal mode - first press power key to power down
Device is locked. Staus code: 0
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer mode:
USB connected
And the error from the fastboot command:
D:\>fastboot oem get_unlock_data
...
FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
finished. total time: 0.007s
Am I missing a step (obviously I have to be or it wouldn't be giving me gyp) what do I need to do now? Thanks

That sucks how come? They have the device listed on the Motorola site for unlocking the device. And is there a way around it? Or do you know of any tools for calculating the simlock code so it can run on any network? Thanks and thank you for the reply
What if you put another stock rom on it?
Just flash it with RSD lite
Hi all,
I tried to reflash a Nexus 9 with official volantis-lrx22c, the bootloader was updated (3.43.0.0114) but the flash of the other partitions failed and now the device can only boot fastboot mode in locked and unlockable state.
When I try to reflash:
(bootloader) Device State : Locked
FAILED (remote: Can not flash any images while device state is locked!)
And when I try to fastboot oem unlock, I get:
(bootloader) ability is 0
(bootloader) Permission denied for this command!
I cannot boot android, so I cannot enable the the "Enable oem unlock"
Before this, I could falsh a recovery and backup, but the recovery disappeared and I cant flash anything anymore...
Any solution? Any way to force the oem unlock or the flash?
I saw this guy, Jonathan Levin, (I cannot post the link) that checked the effects of this "Enable oem unlock" on PST partition and saw one bit was set after, I was wondering if I could use "fastboot oem i2cw" + correct parameters to flip the corresponding bit, but I dont know if it's possible and what are the parameters to pass...
Thanks,
Pierre
I'm in the exact same position today. It's the first time I really fear about a soft-bricked Nexus thanks to the new "Enable OEM Unlock" option.
What has happened afterwards, pierrestone? Did you find a solution? :-|
EDIT: This was likely the article you were talking about. It looks interesting, maybe somehow its possible to enable OEM unlock from an ADB Shell.

Hello
I've my code from sony website, to unlock bootloader.
Drivers intsalled on windows 10 x64.
"fatsboot devices" is ok, my phone is recognized.
But, fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xXXXXXXXXXXXX return: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Any ideas? maybe a driver problem? strange, I never had this kind of problem with Z1c or Z3.... (it have tried too with flashtool, same message...)
Thanks!
Did you enable bootloader unlocking in the developer settings on the phone?

Thanks a lot, it's the first time I have to do this step... or I don't remember with my last phones...
So, my bootloader is now unlocked
That worked like a charm! Thanks!
Dear all,
I have made numerous attempts to unlock the bootloader of my Wiko U Feel Prime, but to no avail.
(My goal is to flash TWRP, root with Magisk and install LineageOS.)
USB debugging and OEM unlocking are enabled in the developer settings.
ADB recognises the device. When I execute adb reboot bootloader, the device reboots, and doesn't get past the "powered by Android" screen – but is nonetheless found by fastboot when I run fastboot devices. Seems like the USB drivers are functioning properly, correct?
Now, when I run fastboot oem unlock, I get the following response:
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: -0.000s
The command fastboot flashing unlock gives the same result.
Moreover, fastboot getvar all displays no unlocked variable. The command fastboot getvar unlocked yields
Code:
unlocked:
By the way, this phone was shipped SIM unlocked.
I've spent hours looking around the web for solutions, but everyone (including guides specifically written for Wiko U Feel Prime) simply says "unlock the bootloader" as if it's a trivial task. And I've run out of ideas. Could anyone help?
Thank you very much.
Hello, my friend just give me his phone and ask me for help:

From my point of view this is issue in phone developer options isnt it allowed OEM UNLOCK.
Problem is i cannot boot to OS so i can allow it.
I cannot do this step :
Activate OEM unlock on the phone. Activate the “Enable OEM unlock” option because it is required to unlock the bootloader. To enable OEM unlock, go to Settings >> Developer Options and select “Enable OEM unlock”.

Are you actually booting into Download mode (by holding vol+ and *on* button) ??
If so then try to use uppercut, as found in this forums development section. Or the
patched LG Up that you can find info about on xda as well.
As long as you have a functional LAF/Download mode, there's no reason why you
wouldn't be able to restore the phone. So don't freak out and do something reckless.
Thanks for answer : askermk2000
