>>> Unlocking Bootloader will overwrite any data stored on your device, backup your files before proceeding <<< 1- Register to Motorola website 2- get your Device ID
Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)
At the prompt, type
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
3- Unlock
Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the pecific field on the Motorola website, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?”
NOTE: If your device is unlockable, a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will now appear at the bottom of that page.
after you got the code type the following :
fastboot oem unlock and wait your device to reboot !
4- Enjoy 5- to relock, (pointless, isn't it?)
$ fastboot oem lock
