Can't get Bootloader Unlock Code For Sprint Variant - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

I have two Z2 Force Sprint variants bought at the same time. One I had unlocked a long time ago with no issue, but I am trying to do the other one now and keep getting the error from Motorola's unlock tool saying 'your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking'. Anyone ever run into this issue or have any pointers that could help with this?

The moto site gives false responses like that very often.
Try a different browser, PC, or internet provider.

Yes I have seen others with issues and eventually getting through. Not sure if that's the case here or not. I have tried alternate browsers, systems, vpn's and the uk site. Even went as far as using the inspector to force the blue submit button to show up on the site. Always ends the same way though unfortunately.

Moto G5 Amazon Variant Bootloader Unlock

I have searched everywhere where the answer is "No. Moto G5 Amazon Variant cannot be unlocked". Unless I checked myself. And BOOM!!! The unlock code is on my email. Will see tmrw if we can unlock the bootloader. Need to search for a method to root then.
But I guess, I will do that when Oreo gets released for G5 . Cheers.
Don't update the phones software via OTA when official Oreo is launched whilst bootloader is unlocked. I'm sure this bricks the phone?
How did you get the website to accept your (Amazon) "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" string?
When I enter it on the Motorola custhelp.com site, it tells me my bootloader is ineligible for unlocking.
Note that I have both an Amazon G5 Plus and a non-Amazon G4 Plus in case I need to do something with the non-Amazon phone first.

Could you send me the bootloader OEM codes which you get when you try to unlock it???

Is anyone having trouble unlocking the bootloader on the european version? (LMG710EM)

hi, so I was trying to unlock the bootloader before attempting to use an AOSP pie rom using this guide on the official LG site http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Anyway when I come to step 9, I type "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone reboots in fastboot mode. Then when I type "fastboot oem device-id" the phone freezes and I have to press the power button to restart it, meanwhile in the powershell command page it says
Code:
C:\Users\chahi\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-id
FAILED (Write to device failed (No such file or directory))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I checked my drivers and everything seems to work perfectly fine. I am at my fifth attempt and I'm beginning to feel pretty desperate. If anyone encountered the same problem or could help me solve this I will be very thankful !
Thanks in advance.
NB : I'm on windows 10 and my phone is running the korean pie rom.

I cannot 100% say what the cause is with certainty (I have the Sprint version and I absolutely hate this piece of trash) but others have reported similar issues from actually having a different variant that was cross-flashed to the EM model and sold as EM when it's really a Sprint version (for example). What happens when you enter your IMEI number in LG site, does it return the EM variant or something else? That's where I would start (unless you have already done this and confirmed it's EM). Non EM versions lack the full ADB support so we can't unlock the bootloader. This is the same point I lockup as well but mine was not intended to be unlocked.

Thank you for the quick response !
Yes I actually typed my IMEI in the LG site and it gave me a gray OK so I guess I truly have the EM version ? (knowing that only the EM is supported idk) Are there other methods to make sure I have the EM version for sure ? Also worth noting that I bought the phone new from North Africa so it must be the european version and not a carrier one.
Thank you !

Not that I'm aware of but if the LGdev site let you get the unlock code then I will assume it's real as they do validate it. Normally I would suggest to reach out to LG but that's a waste, they won't help. In fact they shutdown the dev recently because of unlock requests so they don't care about us so that won't help you. I'll do some research and see if there's any official way to help but hopefully others will chime in with the answers.

Good luck with LG, they most likely will do nothing to assist you. That's my biggest gripe with LG, they suck with customer care nor give 2 craps about us, the customers. My LGG7 sucks so bad, it's barely usable but they will not do anything to help me nor Sprint so I'm leaving both once my horrible lease is up. All I can say is to sign the bootloader petition and leave LG, it's the only way they will ever change and even then, they probably won't. They will soon be out of business just like Blackberry's downfall and for the same reasons. They don't listen to the customers and change, nor did RIM with activesync, now RIM is a mere fraction of what they used to be, LG mobile is next. I hear so many complaints about LG devices, not just LG mobile but the entire company. All the same type of complaints across all LG products, no customer support when the device stops working and they pass the buck every time, and locked bootloaders (for LG mobile).
There is no unofficial unlock yet, that's why I'm so unhappy with the piece of junk! If I could unlock and install my own flavor of AOSP then it would be an entirely different story and I would fix my own issues and have an awesome device. Instead the jackalope in charge of LG decided to keep the bootloaders locked with no support to unlock (except for EM) but even that barely works (your issue).
I don't know what else to say except LG SUCKS, LG is terrible. I so wish I hadn't let the Sprint rep bully me into this horrific device. I should have stood my ground and not accepted the deal which came with this expensive paperweight (LGG7).

SIM unlocked, yes, bootloader unlocked, no (on Sprint and everything other than the European model, no, EM model, yes), the rest of us, no, huge difference. I would pay a small fortune if bootloader unlocks were possible and why I bought the LG octoplus, still no option yet unfortunately.

Are you 100% sure this is not SIM unlocked using a modified octoplus (I have already gone down this path) so I bought my own octoplus. I am pretty sure all these "unlock" are merely SIM unlocks and not bootloader unlocks. I've investigated this pretty deep and it was only SIM unlocks not bootloader. As far as I'm aware, there is no hacks or mods to unlock the bootloaders for any LG G7 as of yet. eBay results are all SIM (which is simply using oct to apply the US-unkocked m ok model unlocking the SIM).
If you can find a REAL bootloader unlock method that works and unlocks my bootloader, I will PayPal you 20-30 bucks (I'm not joking). There is no method yet that anyone I know, knows of.

It's not sim unlock
It works by installing g710em bootloader and then flashing an unlock.bin .It's actual bootloader unlock. You can probably even do it yourself on a octopus box but I'm not sure what does it allow and not allow you to do.

Hey Piatch, i'm stuck on your same situation!
I have a new LMG710EM taken a month ago in a store, today with the Pie release (I'm in Italy) I found some time to unlock the bootloader, root, debrand (my G7 is TIM branded) and update to Pie.
I'm not new with LG, I come from G2, G5, G6 and now G7, never a problem (apart from the slowness in the updates I like them).
Well, just your situation, only the wording is a bit different, to me it says FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links)) then the phone reboots and freezes in G7 logo and I have to press the power button to restart it, like yours.
I've tried everything, even reading online, different USB cables, different fastboot versions, but nothing worked.
Then I unbranded via lgup refurbish option to have a clean install and reinstalled all, thinking that maybe the new OS would solve but nothing, same message.
Can anyone help us?
It is the first time in several years that I have not found a solution.
Thank you in advance

Hi f0ster, I did not find any solution because I was lacking the time and tbh the skill to do it. I think we can't unlock the bootloader while under Pie ? Maybe if we roll back to Oreo, then we can unlock it and then update to Pie again ? I don't have the skills nor the confidence to safely flash Oreo on the G7 (I had bad experiences with bootlooping on the G3 and G4). Maybe you could try this way and see if it works out for you ?

I'm trying to root xt1952dl, I have some questions

Hello,
I'm starting to think that my problem is that the bootloader is not unlocked.
So when I go in developer options and check the bootloader unlock and it the button moves and turns blue, is that an indication that I can unlock it?
I've tried doing this: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
but it keeps telling me that I'm not eligible to unlock the boot loader or something to that effect.
Any advice? not sure how to proceed. If I'm stuck with a crippled phone or if there is a way around this.
Thanks

This is a Total Wireless model running on the Verizon network.

Back in the samsung days, I used odin to flash the stock ROM back to the phone in case things went really bad. Is there an equivalent process for moto?

Look at the Alt unlock method, it gives a little more info then just "cannot be unlocked".
But I suspect that it cannot be unlocked none the less.
Sent from my ali using XDA Labs
Thanks sd_shadow,
You are correct, it is not unlockable.
Oh well, I really like this phone, reminds me of the old nexus S, light, black and plastic, no fancy design goofiness.
So naturally, my next question is how do I go about finding a phone that can be unlocked and rooted for Total Wireless? do I get an unlocked verizon phone or are there other constraints I need to search for. I do understand that it needs a clean IMEI and TW has a web page to run the IMEI verification on.
Thanks again.

Verizon Moto Z2 Force

So just as a background, I used to be into the root/rom scene with my old Samsung Charge and then My Motorola Razr MAXX Smartphone circa 2013-ish. As Verizon locked down I stepped away but I found something interesting the other day. I just upgraded to the Edge+ and was playing around with my Moto Z2 Force Edition. Im taking it with me to spain to get a local sim inserted and be a local number while I am there for a few months. I did a factory reset and let it update to Android 9 and then hit the build number 7 times to enable developer options and found an option called "OEM Unlocking" with a description of "Allow the bootloader to be unlocked".
Perhaps with the age of the phone, Motorola has lifted its lock of the bootloader to be able to be rooted? or is this just wishful thinking. Now that it is an alternate phone I would love a chance to get back in to the scene, root it with a recovery and throw the latest Lineage on it or whatever is available. with the ability to unlock the bootloader, might a TWRP recovery work now?

All Moto devices with Android 5? have this option it doesn't necessarily mean it can be unlocked.
Most Moto devices that are not carrier-branded can now be unlocked.

So i guess my real question before i go through this process would be will it all work if i get the bootloader unlocked? is that the major hang-up that if i can get past it, the recovery's and custom roms will now be available to me?

If the bootloader is unlocked you can flash custom recoveries, roms, and kernels.

moto z2 force, get around unlocking bootloader?

No way around it.
Although the unlock site is very buggy.
Many people get that message, but later are able to unlock.
I suggest running getvar all
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And then compare the cid code from getvar all, with the list of cids.
There's a link in my bootloader unlock thread.
