Bootloader Controversy
Motorola has made it against their Legal Agreements[1] to resell your phone, after unlocking the bootloader, sparking concerns over ownership. "Once you unlock the device, you can only use it for your personal use, and may not sell or otherwise transfer the device".[2]
They have also mentioned that unlocking your device voids the warranty. This means if the CPU, battery, or any other component unrelated to unlocking a device should stop functioning, it will not be covered under warranty.[2]
Two Senior MotoAgents have stated that the device needs to have an internet connection for one week following the purchase or a reset to allow the functionality of bootloader unlocking.[3][4]
