A couple of warnings:
- You understand that using this tool will permanently, irreversibly void your device’s warranty.
- You understand that it may not be possible to “relock” your device’s bootloader after unlocking using this tool. A side effect of this is that if you lose your device and you are not using disk encryption, a malicious party who acquires your phone may be able to extract all personal data from the device regardless of any lock screen.
- You agree that I am in no way responsible for any damage to your device as a result of using this tool.
Instructions:
*It requires that your device has been rooted and that the “su” binary has been properly installed.
- Download this file to your computer.
- Extract the entire contents of the zip file.
- If you are using Windows, ensure you have installed the latest Motorola USB drivers available for your phone.
- Ensure your device has been rooted and you have a working installation of “su”.
- Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.
