We could request to unlock the bootloader from Motorola directly.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
And if you read the "supported devices" list on the linked pages, you wont find Droid Turbo 2 unfortunately... Verizon forces motorola to lock down the devices and not offer this unless a "developer edition" phone is purchased. Currently there is no such thing for the Turbo 2.
In the developers options in the settings there is a switch that says OEM unlocking - allow the bootloader to be unlocked. I'm not sure if this is something that would help

if you disable that option, you can flash things on the phone leaving the phone unlocked and open
With what your saying does that mean we can root it and flash a custom recovery?

Here is a tutorial to unlock the bootloader on our Moto X Play: http://www.gammerson.com/2015/08/steps-how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-moto-x-play.html
The warranty is not there after this, is there any way to lock it again without Motorola being able to see that it was unlocked?

The unlocked bootloader warning message can easily be removed too: http://www.droidviews.com/remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-on-moto-x-and-moto-x-2014/ I tested it and it work on our Moto X Play.
Oops.....completely forgot that this will wipe the phone (as all devices do when unlocking the bootloader).

This will work even if it's a Moto X 2014 logo? I'm a little uneasy in doing this.

If I just remove the message, won't the technical assistance be aware that I unlocked the bootloader?

They already know since you requested the bootloader unlock code. From the terms and conditions:
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL UNLOCKED DEVICES EXCEPT FOR DEVELOPER EDITION DEVICES. BY OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE FOR THIS DEVICE, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE DEVICE'S BOOTLOADER IS SUBSEQUENTLY UNLOCKED OR ITS SOFTWARE OR OPERATING SYSTEM IS MODIFIED, USER AGREES TO WAIVE AND VOID ALL WARRANTIES

Removing the message is more for us, so we don't need to keep seeing it.

Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
Anyone please help me.
I tried to install the official OTA and something went wrong. The device got stuck into bootloops. I entered into bootloader and decided to unlock it. As adviced by the xda thread i followed the instructions, but after getting the Unique key via Email, when i enter "fastboot unlock OEM UNLOCKKEY", it gives an error saying Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
I cannot boot my phone.

There is a thread I created for the first timers.
You have to check the option "allow oem unlock" in developer options.
Please check the whole forum for details before doing anything like this.

If you leave it unlocked after rooting then it can make your phone more susceptible to localised threats like someone stealing your phone and re-purposing it or stealing your data from it directly.
But for many the reward outweighs the risks and there are ways to mitigate.
Trying to unlock Moto X Play on Linux by using "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", but it just says waiting for device. I ran "adb devices" and also enable "Allow unlocking device" in the Developer menu. Am I missing something?
Hi, I want to backup my TA/DRM key. However the "Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2" seems not compatible with Android Nougat. It asked me to downgrade my device first. Is there a way to downgrade Xperia X Compact without unlocking it (or without losing the DRM key)? Thanks.

Just use the flashtool, you don't need to be unlocked to flash firmware.

Another question. My phone is showing up "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" in the Service Menu. I've already turn on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" (
authorized, and confirmed all the necessary drivers were installed).
The "Unlock your boot loader" site is saying that "It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases." Does that means I should flash another firmware with differnt region or Android version? I've already tried to downgrade my phone to MM again, however the issue still exists. Thanks.
P.s. I am able to get the unlock code from the "Unlock your boot loader" site.

If your phone says that is is NOT allowed... sorry, but it is not possible.
Even though Sony is happy for us to unlock the bootloader, if the carrier/operator (verizon, o2, virgin, etc) wants - these companies can ask Sony to stop the bootloader from being unlocked.
Sim lock is one thing... at least that can be removed. I have no idea why they would choose to prevent the bootloader from being unlocked.
Actually, maybe because in some countries the consumer laws are very good, so even if you root or something, your warranty still exists.
But if you cannot unlock the bl -> you can't root -> less device problems/bricks -> less money on repairs for the phone operator? (just an idea)
The first (used) Xperia X Compact I bought, it was carrier branded, and the bootloader was unable to be unlocked.
I talked to the shop owner, I chose the other device in stock, it was unbranded, I could unlock it

Thanks for your answer. Though it's a bad news for me. [emoji30]
Since it's impossible to unlock my device, can I just modify the FTF and flash it through the Flashtool? If it's possible, then how to modify the FTF file? I want to change the font into another.

No. If you've still got time to return it do so now otherwise your modding is going to be limited.
Hello:
I am trying to follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader on my Sprint G900P Galaxy S5.
I installed the ADB SDK, the Samsung USB driver, turned on USB debugging on my phone, and connected it to my computer.
I typed adb reboot bootloader and the phone rebooted into a screen to download software to it.
Next, I typed fastboot oem unlock and I get a message on the screen < waiting for any device >
and it does nothing.
This is strange because obviously the computer was able to send the adb command to the phone so there is communication.
Why would is stop at the fastboot step?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil
Ummm dude your booloader is already unlocked since it's from Sprint. You just go into your Dev options and toggle on OEM UNLOCK and your all set

I went to Google Play Store and installed the Root Checker by Clivin Inc.
When I ran the app, it says: Your device is not rooted
I am not sure where to go from here.

Hi,
Just wondering what are you going to achieve ...
1. Don't bother with any "oem unlock" options as there is no any in your phone model. Your bootloader is uncloked by default and that's it.
2. Rooting is different story - if you didn't root your device yet then the root checkers will tell you exactly this -> so you need to root your phone to get different reply

Why would you want to relock it? But if you wish to do so, you'll need to firstly enable developer options, once done go to settings then developer options, then you will see oem unlock, if that switch is to the right then boot loader is unlocked, to relock bootloader just press and move so that switch is to th3 left

You're mixing up two different things, oem unlock that unlocks the bootloader is disabled on the g950f, you have to enabled it yourself. The unlock code is for carrier locks, totally different thing. You might as well root it now and use magisk to hide root from netflix.

That's the thing, I wasn't rooted but I had unlocked bootloader and it wasn't working.
Now that I've rooted it using Magisk, the device is "certified"
I'm quite interested in buying this device (Nova 3i), but it's very important to me that i can root it.
I've noticed that the option "OEM Unlock" is not greyed out, and can be easily enabled, at least in the devices that are sold in my country.
So the question is:
Is it enought to enable "OEM Unlock" in "Developer Options" from the phone settings to unlock the bootloader and I can simply install TWRP afterthat?
Or do I still have to unlock it using unlock key from Huawei Website (which is unavailable)?
And if not, is there any other way to root it? Has anyone had luck in rooting it (e.g. Kingroot, etc)?
Thanks in advance.
