Head to Motorola website and register your E-Mail ID. Open Setting on your device and go to About Phone. Next, tap 7 times on Build Number and get the Developer Options unlocked. Head back to Main Settings Menu and go to Developer Options and switch the ‘Allow OEM Unlock’ option.

2- Getting Unique ID for each device

Reboot to Bootloader (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 mfastboot is in your $PATH) At the prompt, type

$ mfastboot oem get_unlock_data

You will get something like this:

On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
 (bootloader) 0240540162024205#4C4D3556313230
 (bootloader) 30373as313630330df332323239#BD00
 (bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F95
 (bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
 (bootloader) 0000000

On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be

 INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230

 INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
 INFO0000000

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:

0240540162024205#4C4D355631323030373as313630330df332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
