Hi,
i'm facing the Problem that "unlocking the oem bootloader is not allowed". Now i recognized the "allow oem bootloader unlocking" option in developer options is unset, and i'm not able to set it because it asks for a PIN. Am i the only one with this problem? How can i unlock Bootloader / Install TWRP?
I got the international Version of Z1.
Thanks!
bibear
disable the pin and then try it again, i can also recommend to root the phone via Kingroot and then modify the aboot image. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/guide-unlock-bootloader-zuk-z1-wiping-t3251801

Thanks for your answer, that's aktually what i want to do but i don't know how
Lock screen > screenlock > none or swipe
Oh my god... I thinkpad i have to sleep more.. I simply didn't understand PIN as the security Code of the Device... Thanks!
no problem, can you please add [SOLVED] or something like that to the thread.
I got the unlock code and everything. Installed drivers, got everything in place but when I use the command " fastboot oem unlock "key"
It fails and shows me a remote error along with this
Enable OEM unlock in dev option .
But I can't see that option in dev options and iam fed up with this. I tried searching Google but no luck. I checked the cid to see if it is unlockable and the string was endling with " 007 " means unlockable.
Iam running marshmello ota. All factory. No root nothing..
Any help would be really appreciated. I just want to install cyanogen

Take a look at this thread in Lenovo/Motorola forums (currently 74 pages long), it seems you're not the only one that has this issue (e.g. post #10 [last post in page 1], post #14 [4th post in page 2] and post #15).
Go to settings/apps/all/settings and clear data only , then go back to about phone/ build number 7 times ,enable developer options oem unlock may be present. Try this.
had the same issue
SOLVED
I was fiddeling with my moto X 2nd and stuck on the same issue.
Running a OTA 6.0 stock unbranded FW Moto X 2nd
Same problem, no OEM UNLOCK under Dev options.
then gave up on the phone and started playing around with fastboot mode and went into recovery to have a peek, and solved the issue.
detailed info for other googelers:
(VOL DOWN while pressing POWER, release POWER after a few seconds still holding VOL DOWN for a few more extra seconds takes you to FASTBOOT, from there select RECOVERY, and when the broken android appears, press POWER to get into RECOVERY)
Cleared my CACHE partition and after that made a FACTORY RESET under RECOVERY and then REBOOT
Restarted phone and did the initial setup, selected not to enable REMOTE PROTECTION (this might also be the reason the allow oem unlock button was enabled, as said, have no clue what made it work)
And Voila! the "allow oem unlock" button was there after enabeling DEVELOPER OPTIONS and I could enable it and unlock the bootloader.
maybe the formatting of cache partition did the trick since it was OTA updated, i have no clue, but it is now there.
this helped me clean kingroot

I was messing with my pos alcatel pixi phone trying to root and unlock and installed kingroot, big mistake it was very hard to get rid of. I finally got it to uninstall but it left behind a com.kingroot. Doing this procedure enabled me to uninstall it when previously I was unable. THANKS
I was searching for a method to unlock the bootloader after updating to nougat but i couldn't find any.
Any android version the bootloader unlock method is same. check the forum for newbie thread to unlock your bootloader.

You can get your unlock code from the Motorola website: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
As the website mentions, this will void the rest of your warranty once your device is unlocked, though there are reports on XDA of people getting their devices serviced even after a bootloader unlock. Your experience may vary.
Also, I'd recommend toggling OEM unlock on - you can get to this by going into Settings > About Phone, and tapping 7 times on the build number section. Go back to the main Settings menu and you should see Developer Options has appeared. Go into the Developer Options and scroll to OEM unlocking, and toggle it on before you boot to unlock your bootloader.
So the method would be:
1 - Toggle OEM unlock in the Developers Options
2 - Follow the Motorola website instructions to unlock your bootloader
3 - Wait whilst it wipes your data
4 - Boot and enjoy your unlocked phone
Good luck!
Waiting for device

You need to check your driver to recognize the device. With the command "fastboot devices" there you should see your devices serial number. If not = driver, cable, firewall problem or your device is not in fastboot mode
Ok guys new to this device I went to Moto site to get unlocked bootloader and it's says it can't. I attached a screenshot is there any work around for this?

Did you by chance purchase the Amazon-exclusive variant of the device (with the ads to reduce the price)? They're both the same, except you can't unlock the Amazon version's bootloader.
Also, try opening developer options (tap the build number 7 times, press the back key, and then the new developer options menu that appeared) and then enabling the "OEM unlocking" option. Then try unlocking the bootloader again via fastboot.
I got this moto g4 play a few months ago. I decided to finally install this security update because I decided that nothing will go wrong. I clicked install and went to eat. When I came back the screen was block and no buttons worked. I figured out that I needed to blank flash this bootloader. After 2 hours of trying it worked. I got into the bootloader. The thing is that the bootloader came locked and I cannot access my recovery or android. To unlock the bootloader I need to check the "allow oem unlock" in developper settings on android. BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANDROID. Now I'm stuck. Can anyone please help! Thanks.
(By the way it is XT1601)

Did u try to request a bootloader unlock key at Moto's Website and try unlocking?
I know its sounds a bit stupid but sometimes it works. One of my friend said he did it so just give it a try!

Thanks for the response but here is what happens. When I try to get the key I need to run this command:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_dat
I should get a bunch of numbers and letters and numbers in response which I then send to motorola which motorola analyzes and gives me the unlock key. But when I run this command I get this error:
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
...
(bootloader) Failed to get unlock data, please try again!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.120s
I am glad that you are trying to help but sadly it is not that simple.

I have a suspision I need to somehow remove the bootloader and reinstall an unlocked one. That is my latest guess. But so far I haven't been able to fix it.

Good luck with that. If remediation were that simple device security would be a joke.
Given the oem unlock data responses you posted I'd say your device is toast. Hope I am wrong.

I hope so too.
Try Using a Different Cord. Also just for confirmation, You have Moto drivers Installed? Try using different PC + ADB.
Also see this thread and post your Info: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-Android-Developer/Bootloader-Unlock-Problems/m-p/3222809 .
If that doesnt work, take it to service center and tell after update it happened. (Dont Mention you trying to blank flash) Also, Before hand, Tweet to Official moto and moto(country) specific page. Tell them your device aint working after update. They wil tell you mail them(most of the times) and then mail them. Wait for 1 Day for reply and then go to service Center.

Hi, I don't know if you solve your problem but I have the same and I thought about using an edl cable : https://www.amazon.com/cable-Qualcomm-phones-Flash-called/dp/B01NAMYW84 to go in edl mode and then flash the ROM with QFIL. Could be worth ?
Another question; is your phone is recognized by RSD Lite ? If yes, have you tried to flash stock ROM via RSD ?

The cable may be worth trying. I will so thanks for telling me. I have tried a few versions of RSD Lite but my phone is not recognized.
Is yours recognized by RSD Lite?

Nope, mine not recognized either and I tried different versions of RSD on different supports ( Windows xp, 7, 10 and Linux )
I'll buy the cable tommorow, I'll tell you
Otherwise i try to find my Bootloader unlock code to re-unlock it but no trace of this code on my PC...
By the way, in order to Blank flash your bootloader, which file did you used ? I think the BlankFlash files we used were not adapted to our phone model

Hello,
Did you get the cable, and if so then did anything work for you?
I have ordered the cable but it will take a very long time to ship (estimated oct9-dec4).
In other words, did anything work for you?
