Unlocking Motorola G23:
- Difficulty: Not an easy task.
- Process: Tried various methods over time. Started with looking at known unlocking ways for previous Motorola phones like G22. Discovered issues with G23's BROM being blocked and only preloader port accessible. Extracted firmware from official rescue software RSA and found related files. Tried different tools and commands but faced many failures.
- Key Findings: Found testpoints and decompiled bootloader (lk) and preloader. Discovered a trigger in preloader to reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE with specific key combination. Decompiled bootloader and found the key generation algorithm and reverse engineered it.
Moving Forward:
- Booted TWRP and tested GSIs. Planned to port LineageOS, spread the word and make the phone faster.
Chouchou (Custom Bootloader): Roger built a payload to inject code into LK for safety. Can be compiled from source or get pre-compiled binaries from documentation.
Video Guide: A video by DiabloSat showing unlocking and custom bootloader installation.
Making the Phone Faster: Debloated firmware by removing spyware and bloatware. Analyzed network traffic to find Moto's locking mechanisms.
Words on Motorola: Motorola is seen as not caring about customers. G23 has artificially inserted limitations and G24 requires specific engineer actions to unlock. Moto imposes ODM referral codes. Don't buy Motorola if freedom and long-lasting phone is important.
Conclusion: After 2 years, bootloader unlocked, thanks to many contributors. Check documentation for more info.
