Moto E's destined for the US, Canada, Latin America and Europe will be officially unlockable, essentially making the Moto E the official partner of modders and tweakers worldwide.
Motorola continue to take steps in the right direction, and we're loving it. There's more to this than simple hacking though, as unlocking a bootloader and flashing custom ROMs often becomes the only means of getting new firmware updates after OEMs abandon their handsets, as we've just seen with the international Galaxy S3.
It also demonstrates a willingness to participate with all levels of the Android community, from those simply wanting a solid, low-cost device to those that are willing to mess one up just to entertain themselves. © NextPitīy allowing the Moto E's bootloader to be officially and easily unlocked, Motorola has put the device on the radar for those that like to flash ROMs and generally mess around with their phone - but that don't want to risk bricking a 700 USD flagship. I assume the code to unlock the phone from the carrier is different from the code to unlock the bootloader.The Moto E just became an even better buy if you want to try out new ROMs. On the same note, has anyone previously carrier unlocked their phone, then successfully unlocked the bootloader? When I tried following the bootloader instructions to unlock the bootloader (using the code provided from Motorola via AT&Ts unlock service) I got the error "code validation failure with status 7". Is this step skippable in anyway? I do not have an alternate sim card and do not plan to use this phone off of wi-fi. In the steps to unlock the phone to any carrier, it has the step: "Insert the SIM card from another wireless carrier". I went through the AT&T unlock request platform and received an unlock code. I went through the steps on the Motorola site and was informed my device was ineligible for unlocking the bootloader (due to being a carrier locked phone). Greetings, I have an older pre-paid motorola device I am no longer using and would like to unlock the bootloader.
