Please note: unlocking your bootloader will VOID THE WARRANTY (if that's important to you). I, personally, feel that providing IMEI is not a big deal. IMEI codes are written on the outside of each box of every new phone and anyone could steal them if they wanted too. For all the paranoid ones - if you dont feel comfortable THEN DONT DO IT. Unlock codes are specific for each device, so you will have to provide your phone IMEI number. Getting a code usually takes 24-48 hours (I got mine in less than 24) Of course, you will still need to pay for the code. Alternatively, you can use a proxy service on Ebay - you buy an item on Ebay (usually less than $2.00) and then that person will do the shipping for you. If you can read Chinese (or with the use of Google Translate) then just go to that website and search for unlock code for XT1080. The unlock codes are being sold through a Chinese website (I think it's the Chinese version of Ebay). It cost about $42-45 to buy an unlock code. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can do whatever you want: root, load previous version of firmware, custom ROMs, enable Wi-Fi tether, delete system apps (bloat), install radios, etc. The bootloader on NON developer MAXX can now be unlocked.
