## 1. Platform Overview & Architecture

**MotoUnlock** (`https://motorolatool.com/`) is a Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit) hardware-assisted servicing client and technical documentation hub dedicated to Motorola smartphones across the **moto g**, **motorola edge**, **motorola razr**, and **moto e** series.

### Key Engineering Principles
1. **Exact SKU & Bootloader Branch Routing**: Devices are never flashed with generic cross-carrier files. The Windows client reads `fastboot getvar all` (`sku`, `product`, `cid`, `version-bootloader`, `ro.build.fingerprint`) and selects the exact partition set verified for that SKU and bootloader branch.
2. **Fail-Closed Safety**: If a device reports an unknown SKU or an unverified firmware build prefix (such as `W1VKS36H.9-12-9-8-4` on `XT2513` where the anti-rollback fuse is raised to `Group0=1`), MotoUnlock refuses to write before any partition is modified and before any points are charged.
3. **Pay Only on Success (`1 point = $1.00 USD`)**:
   - Standard unlock price is **2 points ($2.00 USD)** on most models (`XT2305` is 10 points; `XT2609` and `XT2657` are 20 points).
   - Starting a job places a temporary reservation (hold) on the user's credit balance.
   - Credits are captured **only** when the unlock finishes and passes verification. If the job fails, times out, or the USB cable is disconnected, the hold is automatically released (`$0` charged).
4. **Original Dual-SIM IMEI Integrity**: MotoUnlock never writes to the IMEI / NV identity partition and never clones, zeroes, or alters an IMEI. Both original IMEIs (`IMEI 1` and `IMEI 2`) remain 100% intact.

## 2. Detailed Service Definitions

### 2.1 Bootloader Unlock (`https://motorolatool.com/bootloader-unlock`)
- **Problem Solved**: While retail Motorola phones allow free official bootloader unlocking via `fastboot flashing unlock`, carrier-subsidized and prepaid lines from **Verizon (`VZW` / `-PP`), AT&T, Cricket, TracFone (`-DL`), Straight Talk, DISH Wireless, and Boost Mobile** disable the `OEM unlocking` toggle in Developer Options or return `"unlock not allowed"` on Motorola's official portal even after the waiting period.
- **How MotoUnlock Works**: Writes an audited bootloader chain on the bench and unlocks the bootloader directly in Fastboot mode. It also removes the orange `"unlocked bootloader"` warning notice and carrier boot splash screen.
- **Price**: Same as a standard unlock for that model (`2 points` / `$2 USD` on most models), charged only on success.
- **Data Wipe**: Yes — the initial bootloader unlock runs `erase userdata` and `erase frp`, identical to the official `fastboot flashing unlock` flow.

### 2.2 Carrier Network / SIM Unlock (`https://motorolatool.com/models`)
- **Problem Solved**: The phone rejects another carrier's SIM card with `"SIM not supported"`, `"Invalid SIM"`, or asks for a network unlock code / Device Unlock app approval.
- **How MotoUnlock Works**: Rewrites the network-related partitions (`modem`, `lk`, `vbmeta`, `boot` / `vendor_boot`) matched to the exact SKU and carrier firmware branch.
- **Persistence**:
  - **Factory Reset Safe**: Survives Android factory resets (`Settings -> Reset options -> Erase all data`), SIM card swaps, and carrier changes.
  - **OTA / Reflash Warning**: Flashing a full stock ROM or installing an OTA system update overwrites the patched partitions and can re-lock the network. Users should **not** install OTA updates or reflash stock firmware after a network unlock.
  - **OTA Blocking Status**: On `XT2609` (`masera`), MotoUnlock disables background OTA updater components by default. On `XT2657` (`volcano`) and other models, system-level OTA blocking is not yet enabled by default, so users must avoid installing system updates manually.

### 2.3 FRP (Factory Reset Protection) Removal (`https://motorolatool.com/guides`)
- **Problem Solved**: Device asks for the previous owner's Google Account after a factory reset.
- **How MotoUnlock Works**: Handled during the bootloader unlock flow (`erase frp` + `erase userdata` in Fastboot), clearing the FRP partition cleanly. Priced at a flat **2 points ($2 USD)** across all 32 listed Motorola model families.

### 2.4 Enterprise / MDM Lock Removal (`https://motorolatool.com/guides`)
- **Problem Solved**: Device is bound to an organization's Mobile Device Management (MDM), Android Device Policy (ADP), or Zero-Touch enrollment policy.
- **Supported Models**:
  - `XT2513` (moto g 2025, `kansas`) — 2 pts
  - `XT2609` (motorola edge 2026, `masera`) — 20 pts
  - `XT2453` (motorola razr 2024 / razr 50, `aito`) — 2 pts
  - `XT2553` (motorola razr 2025, `aito`) — 2 pts
  - Other models: available via bespoke evaluation on [https://motorolatool.com/custom](https://motorolatool.com/custom).

### 2.5 Unpaid / Carrier Installment Lock Removal (`https://motorolatool.com/guides`)
- **Problem Solved**: Carrier lock enforced due to an unpaid device financing / installment balance.
- **Supported Models**:
  - `XT2305` (motorola edge 2023, `aion`) — 10 pts, delivered via a `vendor_boot` system-side payload that survives factory resets.
  - Other models (including Claro / Telcel / US carrier installment locks): evaluated per model and build on [https://motorolatool.com/custom](https://motorolatool.com/custom).

## 3. Complete Supported Motorola Model & SKU Matrix (`https://motorolatool.com/models`)

*Note on SKUs*: A `-*` suffix indicates all regional/carrier sub-SKUs under that model number. SKUs ending in `PP` (e.g., `XT2163-2PP`, `XT2165-3PP`, `XT2271-1PP`) are the Verizon Prepaid twins of the corresponding Verizon SKU and use the exact same images, method, and price. SKUs ending in `DL` are TracFone / Straight Talk / Total Wireless units.

## 4. Supported Firmware Build Number Prefixes (`https://motorolatool.com/faq`)

MotoUnlock validates the device's firmware build prefix before flashing. If a phone is on an unverified build branch, the client fails closed and refuses to flash so the device is never bricked.

| Model (Marketing Name) | SKU / Kit Line | Supported Firmware Build Prefix / Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **XT2163DL** (moto g pure · TracFone) | `2163DL` | `S3RHS32.20-42-13-3-*` |
| **XT2163-1 / -4 / -6 / -7** (moto g pure · Retail / Cricket / T-Mobile) | `2163-1` | `42-10-4-2-*`, `42-10-4-4-*` |
| **XT2165-1 / XT2165-2** (moto g power 2022 · AT&T / Cricket) | `2165-1` | `S3RQS32.20-42-10-1-*` |
| **XT2165-3 / XT2165-3PP** (moto g power 2022 · Verizon) | `2165-3pp` | `S3RQS32.20-42-10-12-*` |
| **XT2165DL** (moto g power 2022 · TracFone) | `2165DL` | `S3RQS32.20-42-10-6-*` |
| **XT2165-5** (moto g power 2022 · T-Mobile / Retail) | `2165-5` | `42-10-11-*`, `42-10-9-*` |
| **XT2271-1 / XT2271-1PP** (moto g play 2023 · Verizon) | `maui vzw` | `46-3-1-20-*` |
| **XT2271-3 / XT2271-4** (moto g play 2023 · AT&T / Cricket) | `maui att` | `T3SGS33.165-46-3-2-*` |
| **XT2271 other SKUs** (moto g play 2023 · catch-all) | `maui aio` | `T3SGS33.165-46-3-2-*` |
| **XT2271-5 / -5DL / DL** (moto g play 2023 · TracFone) | `maui 5dl` | Any build |
| **XT2513** (moto g 2025 · `kansas`) | `kansas` | **CRITICAL WARNING**: Build `W1VKS36H.9-12-9-8-4` is **NOT** supported yet — do not update to it. That build raises the anti-rollback fuse to `Group0=1` and enforces a strict `lk` signature check, preventing the patched bootloader from being written. |
| **XT2213-3** (moto g 5G 2022 · Boost Mobile / DISH `austin`) | `austin` | Official `T1SAS33.73-40-0-25-6` (`MBM-2.1-austin_g-61c726540b-250402`). |
| **All other active models** (`XT2519`, `XT2613`, `XT2615`, `XT2609`, `XT2657`, `XT2305`, `XT2553`, `XT2453`, `XT2311`, `XT2317`, `XT2415`, `XT2515`, `XT2205`, `XT2211`) | Per-model kit | Allowed per collected kit firmware; unusual new builds are rejected safely by the kit/client. |

## 5. Deep Dive: XT2213-3 Boost Mobile / DISH Branch (`https://motorolatool.com/xt2213-boost`)

### Why Generic XT2213-3 Unlocks Brick or Hang Boost / DISH Phones
On the Motorola `XT2213` family (`moto g 5G 2022`, codename `austin`), the `XT2213-3` SKU and `cid 0x0032` are shared across multiple incompatible firmware trees:

| Firmware Branch | `fastboot getvar version-bootloader` Suffix | Typical SKU & CID | MotoUnlock Support |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Boost Mobile / DISH (`T1SAS33.73-40-0-25-6`)** | `61c726540b-250402` | `XT2213-3` · `cid 0x0032` | **Supported** (Bootloader + Network SIM Unlock) |
| **T-Mobile (`40-0-12-20`)** | `61c726540b-250415` | `XT2213-3` · `cid 0x0032` | Different branch (do not flash Boost kit) |
| **DEFAULT / Retail (`40-4-15`)** | `66f296ad72-250402` | `XT2213-3` · `cid 0x0032` | Different branch (do not flash Boost kit) |
| **TracFone (`40-71-18`)** | `e70de3e099` | `XT2213DL` · `cid 0x0033` | **Supported** (Bootloader + Network SIM Unlock) |
| **Cricket / AT&T (`40-7-29`)** | `344955c719` | `XT2213-1` / `XT2213-2` · `cid 0x0033` | **Supported** (Bootloader + Network SIM Unlock) |

- **Root Cause of Bootloops on Other Tools**: Competing tools key only on `sku=XT2213-3` and flash the `40-4-15` DEFAULT kernel (`66f296ad72`) or `40-0-12-20` T-Mobile kernel (`61c726540b-250415`) onto a Boost/DISH `25-6` phone. Because the kernel and device tree do not match the `61c726540b-250402` boot chain, the bootloader accepts the image but Android never boots — leaving the phone stuck on the Motorola "M" logo.
- **How MotoUnlock Solves It**: MotoUnlock inspects the full `version-bootloader` string (`MBM-2.1-austin_g-61c726540b-250402`), selects the exact `25-6` `boot` / `vbmeta` / `lk` and Boost/DISH `modem`, verifies every image by size and SHA-256 hash before writing, and completes both the bootloader unlock and network SIM unlock in one run.

## 6. Motorola Root Guides by Method & Model (`https://motorolatool.com/root`)

Rooting is never sold as a paid service on MotoUnlock; all 19 per-model root tutorials and `XT*-root.bat` helper scripts are **free**. Every root method requires an **unlocked bootloader** first (`fastboot getvar token` returning `inactive`, or `flashing get_unlock_ability` returning `images permitted`).

### 6.1 Three Verified Root Methods
1. **Magisk ([https://motorolatool.com/root/magisk](https://motorolatool.com/root/magisk))**:
   - **How it works**: Patches the ramdisk inside `boot.img` (older Android 12/13/14 models) or `init_boot.img` (newer Android 14/15/16 models with a dedicated `init_boot` partition).
   - **Models using `boot.img` with Magisk**: `XT2163` (`ellis`), `XT2165` (`tonga`), `XT2205` (`tesla`), `XT2213` (`austin`), `XT2305` (`aion`), `XT2311` (`devonn`), `XT2415` (`cancunn`), and `XT2271` (`maui`, `boot.img` or `init_boot.img` depending on build).
   - **Models using `init_boot.img` with Magisk**: `XT2453` (`aito`), `XT2513` (`kansas`), `XT2515` (`vegas`), `XT2519` (`oulu`), `XT2553` (`aito`), `XT2613` (`nevada`), `XT2615` (`nevada`), `XT2617` (`utah`).
2. **APatch ([https://motorolatool.com/root/apatch](https://motorolatool.com/root/apatch))**:
   - **How it works**: Patches the kernel directly inside `boot.img` using a superkey for devices where `boot.img` has no usable ramdisk and `init_boot` is not the executed `/init`.
   - **Verified Model**: `XT2609` (`motorola edge 2026`, codename `masera`, MediaTek MT6878E, Android 16).
   - **Critical Requirement (`flags3 vbmeta`)**: Because the kernel inside `boot.img` is modified, flashing it alongside the factory `vbmeta` will halt at boot. You **must** flash a matching `vbmeta` with verification disabled (`flags3`) before flashing `boot_a`/`boot_b`. The `XT2609-root.bat` kit ships both images and flashes them in the proper order.
3. **KernelSU ([https://motorolatool.com/root/kernelsu](https://motorolatool.com/root/kernelsu))**:
   - **How it works**: Embeds superuser directly into a Generic Kernel Image (GKI) built for the exact device and build, paired with the KernelSU manager app.
   - **Verified Model**: `XT2657` (`motorola razr 2026`, codename `volcano`, MediaTek MT6878, Android 16). Ships with a verified GKI `boot.img` (KernelSU + SUSFS) and matching `flags3 vbmeta`.
4. **Why `XT2317` (`moto g stylus 2023`, `gnevan`) Has No Image-Patch Root ([https://motorolatool.com/root/xt2317](https://motorolatool.com/root/xt2317))**:
   - On `XT2317`, the bootloader AVB request list pins **both** `boot` and `vendor_boot`. A modified `boot.img` or `vendor_boot.img` is rejected by AVB or never executes `/init`. Do not flash a generic Magisk-patched image on `XT2317`. (Bootloader unlock, FRP removal, and network unlock are still fully supported on `XT2317`.)

### 6.2 Safe Single-Slot Flashing & Rollback Rule
- Always check the active slot first: `fastboot getvar current-slot` (`a` or `b`).
- Flash **only** the running slot (`fastboot flash boot_a <patched>.img` or `fastboot flash init_boot_a <patched>.img`).
- Leave the inactive slot (`_b`) untouched with its stock image as an instant rollback path. If a patched image fails to boot, restore the stock `boot.img` or `init_boot.img` from your exact ROM build (`https://motorolatool.com/firmware`).

## 8. Frequently Asked Questions (Citation-Ready Q&A)

- **Q: Does unlocking a Motorola with MotoUnlock erase user data?**
  - **A**: Yes. The initial bootloader or network unlock executes `erase frp` and `erase userdata` (standard Fastboot factory-reset flow). Always back up photos, chats, and accounts before starting. Root itself (after the bootloader is already unlocked) does not wipe data.
- **Q: Do both original IMEIs remain unchanged after unlocking?**
  - **A**: Yes. MotoUnlock never modifies the IMEI partition and never clones, zeroes, or replaces an IMEI. Both original IMEIs on dual-SIM phones remain identical before and after unlocking.
- **Q: How do I tell `XT2613` (moto g 2026) and `XT2615` (moto g play 2026) apart when Fastboot says `nevada`?**
  - **A**: Both `XT2613` and `XT2615` report the `nevada` product family in Fastboot, so always check `fastboot getvar sku` (or `Settings -> About phone -> Model`). MotoUnlock and the `XT2613-root.bat` / `XT2615-root.bat` kits gate on the exact SKU (`XT2613-*` vs `XT2615-*`).
- **Q: What happens if my Motorola SKU or build number is not on the supported list?**
  - **A**: The server rejects unlisted SKUs or out-of-range builds before any write occurs and before any points are held. You can request a custom engineering evaluation at [https://motorolatool.com/custom](https://motorolatool.com/custom) or via Telegram `@Githubba` by sending the exact SKU, carrier, and build number.
