Open a terminal for Mac/Linux or open a command prompt for Windows then type: You DO NOT need to waste your precious time downloading and installing the whole Android SDK which can take hours. This has all the files you need for all Windows, Mac or Linux.
You should get a folder called “fastboot” in your Downloads directory. Power off your Motorola smartphone then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for about 10 seconds. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE!!! – PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR PERSONAL PHOTOS/VIDEOS/FILES BEFORE PRECEDING!!! I made the video tutorial for Windows but you can use the provided slight-change in code for Mac or Linux. You can use Windows, Mac, or Linux to do this. I will be using a Moto X 2nd generation but the instructions are identical for all Motorola phones. So, if you have a device that supports bootloader unlocking (and even if you don’t you can try it and find out if it’s unlockable or not), let’s go ahead and unlock the bootloader.
This method will work on most Motorola Android smartphones like Moto X (1st & 2nd gen), Moto G (1st & 2nd gen, not for AT&T or Verizon though), Moto E, Moto X/Droid Maxx (Developer Edition), Photo Q 4G LTE, Droid Razr M/HD, Razr i, Atrix HD (Developer Edition), Electrify M, and future devices that support Motorola’s bootloader unlocking website.įor Moto X users, if you have AT&T or Verizon, you won’t be able to use this method as AT&T and Verizon have locked bootloader (because they don’t like you playing with your own phone that you already paid full price for). Unlocking bootloader allows you to install custom recovery like ClockworkMod (CWM) or TWRP recovery, both which can root your Motorola device and also let you install custom ROMs. For those of you who want to root and install custom ROMs on your Motorola Android smartphone, you will first need to unlock the bootloader.
