### Google Motos (2012-2014)

     

       
33
       
+
       
For a short while, Google owned Motorola Mobility (from May 2012 to October 2014). Despite Google devices following the normal procedure, Google Motos used the same unlock portal that the modern Lenovo devices use, and of course, Lenovo removed the ability to unlock older devices, so these Google-era Motos are no longer unlockable. This does not include the Nexus 6, see the [Google](../google/README.md) page for Nexus devices.

### Independent Motorola (2012 and earlier)

     

       
36
       
+
       
Devices made before Google purchased Motorola Mobility (May 2012) do not have unlockable bootloaders, the unlock command is removed from Fastboot, and you cannot get the unlock code either. For Motorola's more popular devices from this time, such as the DROID lineup, and pretty much any device with a Texas Instruments SoC, there are usually root exploits, and Hashcode's Safestrap, which allows you to get TWRP and run custom ROMs on a locked bootloader with kexec. These can vary on device to device though, you'll have to check XDA for your specific device. Old Motorola rooting tools usually won't work on modern operating systems, and will require a legacy OS such as Windows 7, OS X El Capitan or Ubuntu 14.04.

+
       
### Motorola Solutions (radios)

     

       
39
       
+
       
tldr, Motorola split into two companies in 2011. Motorola Mobility, which made the phones and DVRs and is now owned by Lenovo, and Motorola Solutions, who makes everything else. Solutions has recently started making radios which run Android. Not much is known about these devices, Motorola doesn't even reveal which SoC they use, so nothing is really known about these devices. This [datasheet] for the MOTOTRBO ION mentions "Root Detection: Standard", which in Moto-speak, means "this device always ships with root detection.", indicating that the bootloader is probably not unlockable on these devices. Via [this spreadsheet] from Google, you can see the MOTOTRBO ION's codename -- mkz_sdm660_64, which indicates that possibly it uses a Snapdragon 660 SoC, but the MOTOTRBO ION runs Android 13, which seems weirdly new for a 2017 SoC, no it might just be gibberish or something unrelated.
