Hello,
I'm planning to buy this device, specifically the XT1684 or XT1685 variant. Are these specfic variants supported and are there any culprits I should be aware of? For example, is there a possibility of me being locked out like with LG's G/V series devices? Or is the bootloader unlock procedure completely smooth?
thanks for the guide. I have just unlocked it.
Any guide to root it?

Can't say for sure since I don't own the device, but I guess flashing the SuperSU zip in TWRP will do (when the TWRP for this device releases, that is).
as usually unlock bootloader void the warranty, right???

There is a thread specific to this here... Seems there was a glitch and Moto was issuing codes for a few days until it was caught and fixed.
The instructions worked for me, allowing to unlock the bootloader. Device was a reconditioned moto g5 plus (XT1685) bought from amazon (not an "amazon exclusive", the international version).

Hi,
I had an issue with my Pixel that I reported here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/google-pixel-stuck-fastboot-t3725523
I wanted to do a flash stock ROM with “fastboot” following this official tuto : https://developers.google.com/android/images
The unlock bootloader step return an error “FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)”, I tried many commands with no success, I know that OEM unlocking
and*USB debugging should be enabled first from android settings, but now I have no access to my settings, stuck in my bootloader !
I don’t know if anyone of you have a tuto or a trick to bypass this step or unlock the bootloader
Please share with me your ideas
Thank you All
Just wanted to tell you that I fixed the problem with a “hair dryer”, the volume button down starts working and I could restart the phone normally.
Thank you for you help
Hey guys,
can someone tell me if it's possible to downgrade the stock android pie version to stock oreo without rooting my device or unlock the bootloader?
I read some threads and posts but i'm not sure, because the information is disputed.
So can i flash the old stock android without getting a brick or getting stuck in edl-mode?
Thank you for your answers

Hello,
I think that it's not possible without unlocking bootloader. The unique solution is to enter in edl-mode but this is more dangerous than unlock the bootloader. Unlock bootloader is very simple and not dangerous, you are just going to loose all of your data but with a backup this is not a problem.
Root is not necessary for that, if you need help to do your downgrade with bootloader unlocking tell me !
I'm here if you have any question or if you need help !

Flashing via EDL Mode only works with unlocked bootloader!

I don't now the link but I can explain you the process.
/!\ This will erase all of your data !!
1) Enable developer options by going to Settings > About Phone, scroll down to Build number and tap 5-7 times to enable developer option.
2) Once you enabled the Developer Options. Returned back to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging and OEM Unlock. Just Enable there options.
At that time you have 2 option, official option and non-official version.
- Official Version,
This method require some days because you have to ask xiaomi to send you an unlock code.
You need Windows it doesn't work on Linux.
1) Go to http://en.miui.com/unlock, click on Unlock button on the webpage now you have to login and then proceed to tap on Download Mi Unlock from the resulting page.
2) Now, proceed to put your Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite into Fastboot mode by powering it on while holding Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously. Hold until you see your phone is booted into Fastboot mode.
3) After the successful login, the validation process will start on your phone, and for the first time, you will get a message that “You don’t have the permission to Unlock the device”
4) Now click on the “Go” button or use Go to MIUI Unlock page to receive the unlocking permission.
5) Now click on the Unlock Now and log in with your Mi account details and fill all details.
6) You will get OTP for confirmation use it to complete the process.
7) Now wait until your application gets approved, you will receive the OTP password on your phone number once it’s approved.
8) Now Open the Mi Flash tool click on unlock and pass the two pop-up. Your device will be unlocked
Non-Official but simple version :
1) Proceed to put your Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite into Fastboot mode by powering it on while holding Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously. Hold until you see your phone is booted into Fastboot
mode.
4) Download Miniamal ADB and fastboot in you are on windows, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
If you are on linux use
Code:
sudo apt-get install fastboot
Code:
sudo apt-get install adb
3) On Windows in Minimal ADB and fastboot or on Linux on the terminal enter this command

Locking Motorola Bootloader
Relocking Motorola Bootloaders can be difficult.
Don't relock the bootloader if it was unlocked by any other method than Offical.
ReFlash Stock Firmware, Factory Reset, Reboot. and make sure everything is working correctly before relocking.
Current locking instructions - 27 April 2021
You can't relock the bootloader without the stock firmware!! - Jun 1, 2020
If the device was rooted, reflash stock firmware.
Your device likely uses fastbootd
[Guide] Flashing Motorola Firmware
After flashing Firmware, power up the phone to make sure it will boot.
If it starts up ok
return to bootloader and run
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Follow the instructions in your terminal's output.
You should see something like "signed system image required" which means you have to
Flash all system.img_sparsechunk.X parts a second time.
When finished run the lock command again and follow the instructions in your output line.
Continue until your bootloader is locked.
Other methods that have worked in the past
Run
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot bootloader
Check if bootloader says
Code:
flashing_locked
If the bootloader doesn't lock
You may need to try something like.
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
or
Code:

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
I saw the same thing on my end at first. Found this to work repeatedly....
fastboot oem lock (enter this a few times until i says something to the effect of...."you still need to flash a signed boot.img")
fastboot flash boot boot.img (this will now flash fine without saying the image is not signed)
fastboot oem lock (if you prefer to re-lock. You'll need the unlock key again if you plan to unlock).

Head on over to https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291 and download the tool, after installed put your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode and go through the rescue steps up until the firmware is downloaded, do not click rescue after the firmware is fully downloaded just head on over to C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles and open the downloaded firmware and take the boot image from there and copy it to your fastboot tools folder and flash that boot.img check that the firmware matches the version installed on your phone before flashing the boot.img.

flash either stock or a stock-based rom along with Magisk and enable OEM unlock in the dev options and the you should be able to re-lock.

You have to remove the hashtags "#" from the code you get from the phone.
Remove the quotes "Part1" from the link below.
Code:
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/api/mse/bootLoaderVerifyPhone?serialNo="Part1"&secSerialNo=&processorUid="part4"&bootloaderHash="Part3"&infoOnly=N
There is a chance this could change with newer devices.
The 1st part should be 16 characters long.
The 4th part should be 32 characters long.
The 3rd part should be 40 characters long.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, a good unlock code will look like this. Mine is 19 characters long.
Code:
{"status_code":"0000","status_description":"Successful!","Boot_loader_unlock_code":"7*****************B"}
If it cannot be unlocked. It maybe something like.
Code:
{"status_code":"0020","status_description":"Either there are errors in input data or this device does not have bootloader lock code available yet.","Boot_loader_unlock_code":null}
if you see
Code:
{"status_code":"0003","status_description":"Processor UID cannot be empty!","Boot_loader_unlock_code":null}
the link is not correct, try creating the link again.

Trouble unlocking bootloader? try this! by jbtumbleson
Just copied from link below
Setting lock/unlock propertiesThe ro.oem_unlock_supported property should be set at build time based on whether the device supports flashing unlock.
If the device suppports flashing unlock, set ro.oem_unlock_supported to 1.
If the device doesn't support flashing unlock, set ro.oem_unlock_supported to 0.
If the device supports flashing unlock, then the bootloader should indicate the lock status by setting the kernel command line variable androidboot.flash.locked to 1 if locked or 0 if unlocked.
For devices that support dm-verity, use ro.boot.verifiedbootstate to set the value of ro.boot.flash.locked to 0; this unlocks the bootloader if the verified boot state is orange.

Is the bootloader Unlocked?
You can check if the bootloader is unlocked with
Code:
fastboot getvar securestate
If you see this the Bootloader is still Locked
Code:
securestate: oem_locked
If you see this the bootloader is UnLocked
Code:
securestate: flashing_unlocked
Why is OEM unlocking greyed out/ unavailable?
It's not unusual for OEM unlocking on Moto devices, to be greyed out.
You need to connect to wifi/LTE and it should be available in 3 or so days after that.

Yes, Locking Moto Bootloaders is a mess.
Locking is actually more likely to cause a bricked device than unlocking.
The only advice I can give is the following
Follow the instructions in your terminal's output.
You should see something like "signed system image required" which means you have to
Flash all system.img_sparsechunk.X parts a second time.

And another article saying that the Tracfones will unlock after 12 months and 1 day of service?
