There are 3 options, but aren't they for other Optimus versions than E975? Which do you prefer?
The thing is i can't go download mode cause i already have unlocked bootloader and it gets me to fastboot mode. I unlocked it with Freegee but the backup is gone. Is there any possibility to lock bootloader? The phone is fully working, only thing is yellow tints on screen and i wanted to get it back on warranty.

It can be true. I bought it used in my country from some shop. I think they have replaced the screen with new one. I talked with the shop owner and he told me that he checked the screen before sending me and it was ok, but if i want i can send them phone back so they will replace it with new one(but he didn't tell me that it was replaced already at all). But now i'm in trouble and i don't know if i can lock bootloader without EFS Backup :/ If u have any ideas, tell me please.

If you bought it from shop so don't worry about unlocked.unlocking doesn't effect screen.

Maybe, but he wrote on his warantee card that changing firmware void the warantee. So if i send him the phone back, i don't think he will want to replace screen with new one(which is quite expenisve) when he will see europe open firmware(i had brand before) with bootloader unlocked... i will just lost money sending him phone.
About yellow tints, i heard that iphones had similar problem, it was caused by glue between screen and digitizer or somewhere else, and tints disappeared after few days of using, but i can't tell if my LG will be the same.
use kdz updater and that's it. flash the original firmware the phone came with.it takes 5 minutes.

Very strange! After using freege for unlocking bootloader and flashing CWM Recovery, I got a Kernel error. I tried to flash KDZ in download mode, but after start flashing process my phone reboot in fastboot. Are you in the same situation?
If u can get into recovery mode, you can flash any working ROM and then try the old version of freegee to avoid kernel errors. The update version from playstore gives this kernel error, since it flashes the bootloader of nexus4. But I think, the playstore version should be fixed by now... better to check it... search for the old version of freegee posted by davevinci...
Lol guys i'm very stupid... you can go into download mode by holding volume + and - and starting the phone. Then you can reflash it with stock firmware in LG Support Tool under emergency options or something like that(i'm not using english version so i don't know how it sounds in english) or with KDZ Updater. Ofc my phone is fully working, all i want is to get back to stock settings.
You already had the answer...use the damn kdz updater to flash stock firmware,then perform a hard reset. end of story. why the drama??why do you guys don't read the whole story?why don't you learn how to revert the changes you make BEFORE starting doing them?

update
i had buy sunshine and make s-off
and removed the tampered and the phone now show its Locked
now i need to unroot it ,, i have to flash stock firmware right ?! with stock recovery
Then I suppose at this post I can ask why make a new post if you already asked this question in another thread You're spamming now...
fastboot oem lock
That's the command to lock bootloader. If it's for warranty purposes it probably doesn't make a huge differences seeing as you're S-ON.
What does it say in bootloader "Software status: Modified" ? Then they already know you messed around with things.
It'll say "Relocked" and not "Locked" so there again, they'll know you messed with the phone already.
To go back to stock 100% for warranty purposes you would have needed S-OFF to achieve that. As it is now the only thing you can do is restore stock ROM, stock recovery and use the code fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader but that won't prevent them from seeing that you unlocked it previously anyways.

Ota update stops a 1/4 of the way and i get a triangle with an exclamation point.
How can I fix this issue. I was using custom Rom but flashed back to stock for update. Only problem is the update won't go thru. Even when I try flashing with command prompt it gives error parsing 24 something like that. I'm starting to believe I jacked my phone all up any help will help. Hopefully someone out there has the solution to my problem. I also uninstall supersu thanks ahead of time

Did you go back to your stock recovery as well? You'll need to.
But the problem is probably a modified system partition. Do you have Xposed installed on your phone? If you do, uninstall all of the modules with Xposed, then uninstall the framework as well to be safe.
Also, you uninstalled SuperSU? Did you use it to unroot first?

I did unroot with supersu first then uninstall it then I flashed the stock recovery. I never installed xposed. I do agree it has to be a modified partition . How do I go about figuring out if that's the issue. Thanks in advance

Flash a custom ROM. It will re-write the system partition.

Just hold Volume UP or Volume DOWN (Can't remember which one, I think it's Volume UP) and Tap the Power button to get to the log screen of the recovery "installer" to see what error it reports.
If it's a missing file replace it, if it's a file with "unexpected contents" i.e Changes made to it, put back the original.
How i can install a working stock recovery ?

You can find your stock recovery here. Search for the one that matches your firmware version and flash it.

That's a kernel issue. Try flashing back your devices stock boot.img(Contains stock Kernel then). Else just try to restore a nandroid backup for your device.

I have the lg g4 h815 international model. It is rooted and has the boot loader unlocked, I manually upgraded to android 6.0 and then a few weeks or months after I was just on a normal day. So I turned my phone off, then when I needed to turn it back on it failed to start up only showing the lg logo with the boot loader unlocked sign in the top left. I tried all that I knew how to. I went into TWRP recovery and wiped all the data from it. I tried to boot up but it would not and it said that I have no OS installed, however I was sure I did. So }I tried the kdz method of restoring my phone but the lg flash tool 2014 seemed to not respond instantly.
Next I tried downloading the stock files and stock ROM and tried to flash them, but when I attempted to flash them using TWRP it froze and went back to the LG logo screen with the boot loader sign in the top left and it wont let me do anything. I can still go into download mode and recovery though. I have tried every method I know of and I am really stuck. If someone knows how to fix it then please reply, thank you.
If anyone knows how to fix it then please reply, thank you.
When u wiped u prob wiped all download a custom rom and put it on sd card the in twrp install it should be good to go

I tried this but when I attempt this, TWRP freezes and it takes me back to the LG logo with the boot loader unlocked sign. Because it keeps freezing I cannot restore a backup or download a custom ROM and I am stuck on what to do.
EDIT: Also when trying to use the kdz method the lg flash tool 2014 just fails and force closes.

Have you considered unlocking the bootloader and flashing the correct RUU for your region?
I just went through the same challenge myself with a Taiwan (709) region ROM trying to flash the North American version of the firmware.

You can flash RUU with a locked bootloader. No need to go unlocked.
As it is a taiwan region rom, will it be a conflict to flash RUU rom?

You need to change the CID and MID to match the region of the desired RUU. So far as I know, for that, you need to unlock.

Yeah correct but he could just flash the .709 TW RUU. No need to change region just because his camera doesn't work. Also his phone is only 5 days old and doesnt work as it should so i think suggesting something that will void warranty is wrong.

That's the trick, isn't it? This is one more reason why going with a NA or WWE will be easier for you in the long run - the websites you'll be using as resources are in English. Besides, why would you want a TW ROM if you're not in TW?
I just went through this myself a week ago. Like you, I bought a TW phone off Ebay and it came with a 709 region ROM. But some apps in the ROM were only for that region, which was annoying. I'm also told that running a North American system will also get you OTA updates faster since they're deployed more rapidly and here first.
Unlocking the bootloader isn't hard. There are guides here on how to do it. If you want the easiest method, you can go with Sunshine for $25 and also get S-off if you decide to start experimenting with custom ROMs.
It's your decision, but I think sticking with an overseas ROM will be a challenge for you in different ways. This guide may help:

Why don't you bring it back for warranty? Unlocking your phone will void the warranty and might not be able to solve your problem (it might be a hardware problem) if your phone wasn't unlocked initially.

100% agreed. No reason to pay 25$ for S-Off, change the region, and flash a different ruu when the issue sounds very highly like a hardware problem. What if the issue isn't solved? 25$ down the drain. Just send it in!

The guys have a point that if you can return your phone, you should. But my guess is that you bought it through a secondary channel (like Ebay, or overseas) and cannot send it back. If that is the case, you have nothing to lose to try and unlock/reflash because often software bugs manifest themselves in hardware functions.
Anyway, if you can send it to HTC for service, do that. If they will not accept the phone for service, you have nothing to lose by unlocking the bootloader, changing CID and MID, then flashing a NA ROM.
I don't have manufacturer warranty but got sellers sevice warranty..I'm considering to send it to seller first, if they don't help, then i will flash the rom..

FYI I sent my device directly to HTC for repair without a receipt or even an idea of when it was originally purchased. I had bought it second hand, and it was even a carrier branded variant. I set it all up with HTC live chat pretty simply, you can try that if your seller doesn't help you.

Now i cant turn on the phone or boot into fastboot or bootloader. everytime i plug it in the charging light just flashes. Also my computer recognises the device as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 . ive read around the internet and ive found two methods. blank flash and qfil. issue is those tutorials were made for the moto g5 plus. I have searched around the internet and im beginnign to lose hope now. Can someone tell me how to fix this or give me the right blankflash version.
much appreciated
Im sorry that i cant post a useful reply for your problem that you cant even boot into fastboot / hardbricked phone.
The following link is for all those that are stuck in fastboot mode / boot loop.
This post says its for indian version, but i have EU version (1676) and it worked for me to get back my phone as it was when bought:

if you cant access bootloader take it to a repair shop - you need specialist software and hardware to re-image your phone
how on earth did you do that - you do know to root this device its just a simple zip flashing in recovery mode - no fancy commands or anything required once you have unlocked the bootloader via the very easy to follow guide on the moto unlock bootloader website

Its a long story. Basically i rooted it successfully but one of my favourite apps (snapchat) wasnt letting me sign in because i was rooted. I tried everything to mkae it work. Eventually i tried to unroot sign in and reroot to make it work. At that moment something went terribly wrong idk what but now im hardbricked.

If you are using LineageOS all you had to do was just go into dev settings switch root to disable & restart the phone
If you used magisk just use the magisk uninstaller then reflash the kernel
I don't understand why you touched the bootloader partition

I dunno y either. Luckily I had insurance on it so now I got a new device
Although even though I'm sorted it think we need a way to fix hardbricked devices because the Moto g5plus and g4s have fixes but I haven't found any that work for Cedric devices

Ish. I had Argos insurance and they basically take any dead device. Plus they don't check if it's been tampered with . I just said it didn't turn on

How the hell did u hradbrick ur device without an unlocked bootloader. And idk I think that after you start tampering with the os and system it kills ur warranty. You'll have to chat with someone at Motorola
First unlocked bootloader,flashed TWRP, was flashing RR,,,>>Got error
Second Again Flashed Stock ROM, Flashed OTA.zip via adb sideload,phone rebooted>>Phone got dead
Only white light blinks while connecting to PC.
Reached Service centre, they saying warranty voided pay 75% of your phone(INR 16999) to get new motherboard replaced.
Saw many threads from XDA mai forum,tried too, but was unsucessful
Please Help

Where did you go wrong?
Did you flash an older stock ROM than which was installed in your phone before you unlocked BL?
Was the RR file completely downloaded? What error did you get while flashing RR?

Why did you flash ota via adb sideload?
Very bad idea - why? Because I bet that ota wasn't meant for your firmware version
Only ever update your phone through the about phone section on a totally unmodified stock rom with stock recovery
Sorry but you will have to take it to a repair shop to either get it reimaged or get a new board that has the firmware already on it

RIP Moto G5's Bootloader Partition
This happened to me too and the only fix was the Warranty replacing the entire Motherboard.
U can try Qualcomm mode (qfil) or blank flash but motorola doens't have released that files (and never will)

replacing the entire motherboard.
@CypherPotato You seriously achieved that? They didn't check for BL unlock status?
I just bricked mine, still uncertain what happened, left it doing an update (OTA) with a 30-35% battery... dunno if the battery ran out during the update thus bricking it or the update with the unlocked BL did it.
Same situation as described, no response while connected to the PC only a blinking led.
Checking for battery drain issues (also present in the G series) by letting it charge for a while.
But commom, what Moto have in their heads, replacing the whole motherboard seems quite dumb, releasing the files can't be that hard. Loved my old Nexus 5, hardbricked it like 3 times and didn't take 1 hour to find how to undo it.

Yeah... Motorola sucks until don't released Osprey (Moto G 2015) blankflash files, since the bootloader is locked for an only and one shipped ROM you cannot update in stock rom anymore, and I don't known the risks of re-locking the bootloader inside an non-shipped stock rom. The best you can do is create an system-dump backup before flashing new roms.
Unlocking the bootloader probally will break all device warranties, because you don't will able to flash another rom anymore.
The unique and unknown solution is reflashing the entire device's memory, that we will need to use the Qualcomm's blank flash files and Cedric blank flash files to rewrite the entire internal memory.
The flashing LED only indicates the device failed to start, but he still alive.

I found this tutorial in the internet for fixing an Moto G4 Plus hardbrick, maybe it's possible to Moto G5 too.

The link is in Portuguese, but u can normally translate it.
