I got one. It would be nice if it's on android 14 and I can unlock it immediately but for $65 I'm willing to put it in a drawer for a year.
If anyone else is looking for it, I found shortyman24's instructions quoted here: https://slickdeals.net/f/18686347-metro-by-t-mobile-256gb-motorola-razr-2024-5g-gray-30-days-60-prepaid-plan-65-free-shipping?p=179753944#post179753944
And here is the software to unlock it if you're lucky and get an older android version: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-unloc...t-90088027
But it seems like they're mostly sending on ones that are on android 15 now.

Community Reviews

The Razr 2024 deal is mainly attractive as a cheap way to get a foldable phone and, for some units, a path to Metro or T Mobile unlock. The phone includes a preinstalled screen protector, ships without a signature requirement, and can be activated with eSIM or a physical SIM. The biggest draw is the low first month price, with extra lines sometimes dropping to $30 or $35. The main catch is unlock uncertainty, since success appears tied to Android 14 and older security patches, while Android 15 or later updates often trigger server errors or a 180 day lock message. Screen durability and fold damage also remain a concern, making it a tempting but risky pickup.

Common Questions (6)

  • Some Android 14 units on older builds can be unlocked with the XDA/Moto unlock method, especially Nov 2024 builds and some Jan 2025 builds. Android 15 and later security updates commonly trigger SERVER_NOT_REACHABLE or 180-day messages, and March 2025 updates are repeatedly flagged as a cutoff.

    shortyman24hologramtrespasserDaronMaxblueblazer22x

  • The first phone is full price, and additional lines can drop to $35 or similar discounted pricing after the first activation. The deal appears to top out around three phones for many accounts, and the discounted add-a-line option may disappear on a fourth order.

    StrongManatee366StrongManatee366StrongManatee366Pennepincher

  • The current Metro unlock requirement is one full year from activation, not one month. The phone can still be used on Metro after activation, but permanent network unlock is tied to the 365-day rule unless a software unlock method works on an eligible build.

    LilylyStrongManatee366roberthhidMyBankAccIsCrying

  • A locked Metro razr generally will not work with a T-Mobile SIM before unlock; it stays Metro-only until it is permanently unlocked. After a successful permanent unlock, it can be used with T-Mobile service and other carriers.

    whatgooddealbalutlou2004MyBankAccIsCrying

  • Activation can be started from the shipping email link or the Metro order-status page using the order number, and the site will show the phone number. If the verification PIN does not arrive, sending a text from the new phone first can make the code deliver; some activations also require a store visit when PIN verification fails.

    CyanWinghologramtrespasserSharpCrowd268jefferyh

  • Some units arrive without a physical SIM and are set up with eSIM instead. The phone also ships with a pre-installed screen protector, and removing it or replacing it can void the warranty.

Can anyone outline all steps with updated details for permanent unlock from the time the phone is received.
Do I need to activate it online as soon as I get the phone before turning on? Or turn on and activate eSIM and then activate the plan?

I read on other posts that do not activate eSIM or connect to wifi. There is another way to unlock thru bootloader. Is that true?
I don't know that anyone here has gotten the unlock to work in the last week or so with the server message. Right now I get an error message that it is unable to resolve the t-mobile unlock server through the VPN service. If someone can get this thing unlocked going forward, more power to them. But everything I've tried doesn't work. The second one that arrived this morning is on Android 15, and the first one is pending a reboot to take it to the March security update. I'm done messing with it. I'll probably end up selling both to help finance a 2025 Ultra.

They should automatically unlock after 365 days after activation, as far as I'm aware.

Razr needs to be Android 14 and Jan 2025 security patch. I think anything after security patch March 2025 or Android 15 it will not work. Its on the other thread or look at my post history. So disable system updates and auto reboot updates asap.

My device does not appear in Select ADB device. USB is controlled by This Device. Use USB for File Transfer Selected.

BTW my phones is Android 14 and Security update is Jan 1, 2025. Will this unlock by this method?

Is USB Debugging on in dev options? Once its on and you plug in to PC a prompt should pop up. The A14 Jan 2025 security may or may not be unlock with this method. I was A14 Nov2024 security and was autoupdated to Jan25 patch.

Yes. Esim was activated. Today I swapped my razr esim to moto g stylus 2025 esim . Then I deleted esim on razr. Insert T-Mobile active voice sim . Viola, T-Mobile and 5G pops up on top of razr screen. Phone call and data both working.

How many lines can be added in one account? I saw somewhere total 4 lines per account, but I could only add three phones in my account. Thanks!

This varies based on the Metro blackbox. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason. Some get 1, others up to 4. And everything in between. It's worth trying 1-2 times again after a few days once it fails with some variation (different CC, Apt. A address or different shipping). Otherwise let account expire and try again after about 3 months or when they have another deal, but at least >2 months after your billing ended.
