I received an invitation to fill out a post-purchase survey from LeEco. If you received one, you might want to fill it out. One of the questions asks how important unlock is to you!
I did too. Not sure if they meant bootloader unlock or not. I checked very important by default anyway. Hopefully they heed this surveys response.

Hi all,
A member of XDA and I did a phone part transaction that went really smoothly.
I wanted to give him a positive trader feedback, but it asks for a website URL that is required.
We never went through the marketplace, how do I go about giving him a positive feedback?
Thanks

Per the rules in the marketplace, you can only give feedback when your transaction is conducted in the open, in the marketplace.
This restriction is to prevent fraud, and to ensure that users are following the marketplace rules of not dealing via PM... The reason for this is that if someone is selling to you via PM, who's saying they're not selling the same thing to another 20 people by PM?
Good point,
Thanks for explanation,

Operation #MotoBBB:
I really don't know how useful making a new petition at Change.org is going to do, given that OP MOSH didn't lead us anywhere. But I feel that this + the BBB complaint rally may take us somewhere. Because, for each new BBB complaint, Motorola receives a brand new complaint, a brand new email to reply to and each email they ignore, the more their ratings and ranking and reputation will be affected at BBB.
So, here is the new petition @Change.org:
https://www.change.org/petitions/mo...s-unlock-the-bootloaders?share_id=ZhoxoqVsuz&
The aim of the petition is to get an apology from Motorola and Verizon, get all our Bootloaders unlocked AND get all the devices released within 18 months of the ICS release date to be updated to ICS.
The aim of the BBB complaint is to submit a personal, one on one complaint to Motorola. The way this works is that Motorola will get an email detailing the complaint and they should respond to it within a month, else it will count negatively on their ratings at BBB. An XDA member named iBolski already did this and he got a very detailed response. So this seems to be effective.
Secondly, I and several other users at the Droid X2 forums have also filed a complaint. Though we didn't get a response yet, I feel that Motorola is taking its time as it wants to respond correctly. So, I feel that this is adding pressure to them. Nevertheless, the fact that they MUST respond, otherwise face consequences definitely means that if a sizeable number of people complain, they will be under severe pressure.
So far 9,279 people signed the OP MOSH petition. I can't imagine how much pressure this will cause if each person who signed that petition also filed a BBB complaint. So many BBB complaints in such a short time would firstly be a record and secondly will be a huge pressure on Motorola who HAVE to respond to each and everyone of them, else face consequences.
Therefore, I URGE you to file a BBB complaint, even if you Don't sign the petition. But please do sign the petition once you file a complaint since that way I will know how many of you guys filed a BBB complaint!
Attached is a template letter for filing for the BBB complaint AND instructions on how to do so!
May we prevail! Please do submit this thread as a news tip! The more people know about this, the stronger we get! If you want to follow my ongoing struggle with Motorola, go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547632
Instructions to File BBB Complaint + Template Complaint
God speed!
P.S: Moderators, upon consulting with a few xda members I felt that this is NOT spamming as I am soliciting the help of members across several forums. Hence, please do not ban or in other ways punish me. If this is spam, kindly let me know, since I have done this for the first time and moreover, as can clearly be seen from the post I am bringing forth a genuine concern that needs me to post this across all Motorola android phone forums! Thank you for understanding.

I did, well I guess my username gives away the rest. Oh well I don't really mind much. True that does show it is Verizon, but also give some hope that things may change in time? I've got my fingers crossed.
On a side note, I was drinking with a buddy who works on Android and he was saying that Kit Kat should alleviate some problems involving carriers. mostly with updates and having more congruency between release between carriers but also with things involving unlocking. No intricate details but that is what I've got. He seems really excited about it.
this is what they wrote to me
HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. We continue to work with our partners on this, check back often for ongoing updates about unlockable devices.
Since the carriers personalize the phone at the last part of the process, they decide what will be included, and what features will be enabled and which wont. We apologize for this inconvenience, and if you want to, you may get in touch with Verizon Wireless through the following link:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/contact_us/
Thanks for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us through http://www.htc.com/us/contact/email/ or call us at +1-866-449-8358 from 8AM to 1AM ET, 7 days a week.
Have a great evening Jesse.
BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!
Everyone that emailed HTCDev to ***** about our situation is receiving one of those two canned responses. VZW has been doing this for years. They aren't going to stop anytime soon. The general rule of thumb with Verizon is that you're pretty much guaranteed not to have unlocked bootloaders/root for awhile after the device launches. There's been several mentions of an exploit being discovered by some Devs but that they are waiting for 4.3 to release so VZW can't patch. Have faith in the community. When will 4.3 release for our One? No idea. Knowing how punctual VZW is with updates we'll get it in September 2019.
Hello everybody, I inform you that we finally have organized all under one umbrella and we are about to work to the release of all Huawei bootloaders. We ask you please, locked and unlocked bootloaders from any company, to join us in this campaign.
It may seem complicated, (the same that they said 50 years ago about the moon) but I'm sure it will be done, as we have done it before with the kernel for example, it only takes a little willpower. So we've made a twitter, a calendar of actions and more things.
So please, whether you have it or not locked, help us to achieve the 100 %
1.Enter our site, dissapointedhwconsumer.tumblr.com and review our manifest for any questions you may have in your minds.
2.Follow us on Twitter, @dissapointedhw, it is important that they see us united and organized.
3. Post this message on all forums you know, italians, germans, chinese, everybody, the most important thing right now its reach to all users as possible.
So stay tuned, in short we will start!
See you!
You came here, and I immediately disappoint you because I'm personally unable to assist you in this task. I sincerely apologise for that. But you'll find other members here who are glad to be able to assits you in getting your SIM-locked device unlocked FOR FREE!
That brings me to my two requests, recommendations, suggestions or how you want to call it; however, it all depends on YOUR personal choice:
To SIM-unlock your device will make it necessary that you provide personal information like your last name or your phone number. Please do NEVER post these data publicly in a thread! If you decide to want this kind of support, please provide this information ONLY BY PERSONAL MESSAGES (PM)!
Those reputable XDA members who live the spirit of XDA do offer their service and support for free and will never ask you for a donation during any step of the process. Although, if you satisfied with the final result you're certainly free to donate whatever you believe is desired.
If any member asks you to donate etc. before the support is provided, please use the report function that is also available for PM's and report such a request immediately without a further reply or reaction to the PM. Same applies to any suspicious post in a thread.
Thanks very much for listening - and we hope that you got your devices soon unlocked without any problems.
