How to get Authorized Software to re-lock the bootloader

Good news. The MotoDev site is now hosting the material needed for unlock / reflash / relock. You need to register but no big deal.
Forum post: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/46069?start=0&tstart=0
Device Software: http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
The commands to flash and re-lock your device are as follows:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock

Ok he is now saying its up. Has anyone acutally found the files? Noone on the Moto forums will say sh** about their exact location.
Update: Seems the link to where the files are posted is incorrectly mapped. They are looking into getting the issue fixed so officials are up but not accessible.

I tried looking for the files, but that site is worse than trying to find firmware on the ibm site!

Jump to the end of the thread. They are aware of the link issue and expected it up today.

I will post the files in a new thread as soon as I find them available.

the files are up now on motorola! here http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/

Can one of you please post the files here so that we don't all have to sign up for MotoDev?

c'mon people, lets get that file posted!

Give em about 5 minutes I will try to get them posted.

So we have the commands from Moto:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
But for those (like me) who aren't super confident in their skills in this area, what steps are not mentioned above? Obviously we'd need to reboot to fastboot (power button + volume up). Then once we're there, we just use the commands above in adb? No additional reboots/remounts/etc involved here? In other words, no steps missing above that might not be obvious to some users?

Here are the steps in order to use the files ( I will post the files in a couple minutes, uploading now)
1. Extract the files to the android-sdk/tools folder
2 open command prompt/terminal from the sdk tools folder
3. adb reboot bootloader
4 fastboot flash boot boot.img
5 fastboot flash system system.img
6 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7 fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
8 fastboot erase cache
9 fastboot oem lock
You are now relocked and back to stock (no root) If VZ or Moto will know that you were ever rooted I dont know.

Actually you will be using the fastboot cmd not ADB (adb reboot bootloader to get into fastboot), totally different thing. Just follow the commands motorola has and your all set (no rebooting, just one after the other). When you get to the oem lock part, use the volume controls on the xoom to choose yes to continue....
jmc2543 post is exactly what I did

Thing you have to remember is you have to be in the recovery which is what the adb command does in order to use the fastboot commands. For windows anyways. I just tried fastboot commands from the desktop and the cmd prompt sits there.

Ok im stock now give me my damn update.

Nice, all set to go now. Thanks for the help bro!

Galaxy nexus encrypted

Dear gurus of Android,
If possible I would like some help with my Galaxy Nexus since I think it is software bricked. When started it states the the phone is encrypted and wait for the key. I have read all I could get my hands on about this problem. No success so far, so I was hoping someone knowledgeable is willing to sacrifice some of his/her time to help me out.
Thanks in advance.

did you read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730463

Thanks for the quick response. Yes I did read the thread. It was one of the first things I tried. I lock/unlock the boot loader successfully. However when I start the phone in normal mode I get the same message, seems like nothing changed.

So no ideas ei. Seems Will be throwing away a perfectly functioning (hardware wise) Galaxy Nexus away. Shame since my other phone just died.
Anyway thanks for the effort.

Well I only tried stock Android since this is what I really wanted. But does it make sense to try CM if stock does not work. IS there a chance CM works. IF you say I should try than I should I guess. Never thought about it. Thanks for the advice.

Did you flash the factory images with fastboot?
Returning to stock using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25477039&postcount=1 may fix your problem.

Well I might be confusing the terms, but I think I did use fastboot. I got the command lines from the XDA Forum actually and entered them manually through the sdk console the way I remember it. I think I also used some-kind of automated tool that basically does the same. The result being the same naturally. But should it even matter. I mean the problem is that whatever I do once I start the phone in normal operation mode I get the encrypted storage message. I have no idea how to get around this. Should I not be able to completely wipe it somehow so there is nothing when I start it ?

Can you get into the bootloader by pressing the volume up/down keys and power button? Does it give you the encrypted message there?
Were these the commands you used?
1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
2) Unlock your bootloader (if you have not already done so): fastboot oem unlock
3) You will see a prompt on your device. This will wipe your entire device (including the /sdcard folder). Accept. Note: you use the volume keys to change the option and the power button to accept. You cannot use the touch screen.
4) Reboot by typing: fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).
6) Reboot (not required if you did not do step 5): fastboot reboot-bootloader
7) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).
8) Reboot (not required if you did not do step 7): fastboot reboot-bootloader
8a) Verizon and Sprint devices only -- flash the LTE radio: fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek05.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).
8b) Verizon and Sprint devices only -- reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
9) Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img
10) Flash the data partition: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked. See note 5 below for optional items.
11) Flash the kernel/ramdisk: fastboot flash boot boot.img
12) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
13) Erase the cache partition: fastboot erase cache
15) Reboot: fastboot reboot
16) Done! The first boot will likely take quite a bit longer than you are used to, as Android builds the Dalvik cache.

Jaizero I just did what you suggested. Followed the link you provided and did everything according to he procedure. There were no errors. However when I restarted the phone with the last command line and it booted up in normal mode there was the same message.
The screen looks like the one on the link below (not actually my phones, have no other one to make a picture with).
http://bensullins.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Nexus-S-Decrypt-On-Reboot-Android-4-600x800.png
Also I do not know if it is relevant or not but when it boots the initial screen with the Google logo in the very beginning there is a closed lock icon below the Google logo, probably because of the encryption ?
Thanks for the help in advance again guys/girls.

Sorry saw your reply a bit too late. Yes these are the exact commands I used. Followed them exactly as stated every step worked out perfectly.
And no there is no encryption messaging while I am in the bootloader mode.

Hum... no replies. Seems like I am doing everything right yet results are bad. Means I am not doing everything right ofcourse. I am just not knowledgeable enough I guess to figure it out on my own.
Shame I really like the phone.

Unlock the bootloader again, either through fastboot or omapflash. Did you try formatting partitions before flashing? Fastboot allows you to do that. Idk if you tried or have reserves towards ODIN, be extra careful both with omapflash and Odin. There's a link on unlocking the bootloader with omapflash on efrant's android 101 - links section, which is stickied on general.

Well I did try it. What I did might be wrong, but here it is:
I followed the guide by jaizero for flashing via fastboot, but instead inserted " fastboot erase userdata" before the "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" line. Than there was an error message on the phone, not on the pc command line screen, but it was so quick that I could not read it. However the process continued and was okay according to the command window and everyting went on as normal. Alas to no vail since the result was the same.
Any ideas ?
Ah I also noticed than in fastboot mode it said HW Version: 9. Any idea what it means ?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to bother with my bull

Possibly Bricked Pixel XL

Hi, I am i dire straits. I have a pixel xl running pure nexus, rooted and on tmobile. I am trying to get back to completely stock. i tried followig the instructions but somewhere I messed up. Currently phone will just bootloop. I went into cmd, typed adb devices, nothing came up so stupid me, I continued anyways with flash-all.bat, something went wrong in command prompt, then i proceeded to reboot from fastboot, this is where i am now. I have attached pictures of the command prompt screens and of the folder in adb fastboot on my pc that I think contained all the files. I do't know where I went wrong. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I can only correspond via pc. Please, I hope someone can help me.
If someone has the time to walk me through step by step, it would much appreciated.

No offence but i am lost by what you said, I am trying to get back to completely stock. Is part of my issue the fact that command prompt didn't detect my device? or no?
I'm not exactly sure what to do with the information you shared, sorry
I the tutorial i found it says to make sure the command prompt sees your device but doesnt say what to do when it doesnt see it.
Also, I downloaded the may factory image, i believe it was version O

Am I suppose to use the O image or the L image (verizon). I am on tmobile. I used the O image when i ran into trouble

If you did not get your phone from Verizon use this
7.1.2 (N2G47O, May 2017)
Download the zip
unpack all the zip files some are nested so unzipping one creates more keep unzipping until there are no more then gather the following img files
bootloader.img
radio.img
boot.img
system.img
system_other.img
vendor.img
modem.img
Some of those names are cut down as i hate typing long strings, jsut rename them as such.
Create a folder on root of c:\_PIXEL_XL_
put all the files there.
You will use way less files than you unpacked
once you have done that run the following commands
copy and paste
fastboot flash bootloader c:\_PIXEL_XL_\bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio c:\_PIXEL_XL_\radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash system c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system.img
fastboot flash system_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor c:\_PIXEL_XL_\vendor.img
fastboot flash modem c:\_PIXEL_XL_\modem.img
fastboot reboot
After last reboot just wait and you will be back at stock
if that doesnt work
Download latest version of TWRP place it in C:\_PIXEL_XL_
rename it twrp.img, again i hate typing long strings
from bootloader run
fastboot boot c:\_PIXEL_XL_\twrp.img
This will take you into twrp
you might need to wipe system and cache and data,
From memory the fourth entry at bottom is internal memory or user data, in any event if you do not check that your data stays on the phone.
Once you have wiped the other 3 rerun the fastboot commands and you will be back at stock
add the twrp and supersu commands from earlier to add root.
dont forget the signatureverify.img if you are doing that.
good luck.
you arent bricked
you just need to find the correct combination of steps to get your phone where you want it to be

Thanks for the response. I am having a hard time with this, the zip file i downloaded from the google website, when i open it, there are only 6 files, 1 of which is a zip file (marlin). When I open marlin it shows a bunch of files, none of which you mentioned. I am confused, was wondering if you would be nice enough to walk me through this over the phone, i would be really grateful.

Is there anyone that can walk me through this this on the phone, the more i try to understand this, the more cofused i get. pLeASE!!!!

Okay so I had the exact problem yesterday. To to the Google developers site and download the official Google pixel or xl 7.1.2 nougut ota update. Once that's downloaded, go to your phone, I had all the exact same screens on my phone so it should work. Hold down the power button until it completely shuts down. Then hold the power and volume down to go to recovery mode, if it goes back to the ext 4 screen, try it again until it goes to recovery mode, then on command prompt type, fastboot boot twrp.img then once it's in twrp, go to advanced-then adb sideload and click both boxed and then swipe to enter sideload. Then on your computer, type adb sideload "file name for Google update" and hit enter. That should do the trick. Like I said, I had the exact same problem yesterday
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
Also, I forgot to mention, download the twrp image file from the Internet. Shouldn't be hard to find just make sure it's the latest. Put that file in the adb file on your computer same with the Google update for your phone. Do not unzip either file. That's very important. DO NOT UNZIP THE UPDATE File. When you type in the twrp.img make sure you type img. And when you flash the update, make sure at the end of the file name you put
.zip ex( marlinpixelxl7.1.2.zip)

Looking at your screen shot you didn't let the file finish flashing. It sticks at the "does not contain" for a bit before it continues.
You were doing it right. You just didn't wait.
If it wasn't going to work it would eventually give you a failure and jump to the command prompt.

OP was flashing to stock. Didn't let it finish though.

Can you do a factory reset on a rooted pixel 3?

I think I borked screwed up a few things with my rooted 3XL specifically maybe deleted certain system apps I shouldn't have phones working okay but I can't get the stock pixel launcher back I have to use a third-party launcher otherwise to phone goes into freak-out mode
Can I just do the typical factory reset and have the phone start over from scratch and it'll replenisher or start fresh with all the correct system apps working?

No, a factory reset just wipes data, so that wouldn't fix a borked system. If you think you just deleted the wrong system app then just reflash the latest system image in fastboot.

Thanks for the reply. So where exactly specifically do I get the October system .img ?
And what are the detailed steps again please ? Obviously go into fastboot mode, and connect the phone to the PC using command shell adb.
But exact step by step things to type ?

Here's the link https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/crosshatch-ota-pd1a.180720.030-21ac68ff.zip
Extract that zip, and within it should be another zip
If you really think it was just a borked system you can flash the two system images with the following commands
Code:
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
Replace the system images with the proper paths or just drag and drop the file in the terminal/command prompt.
Should also go without saying make sure your adb/fastboot is the latest version or it will just fails silently.

Had an 11.2.3.3 Global rooted via Magisk OP9 Pro that I wanted to update via OTA to 11.2.4.4, which was offered via system update. I used Magisk to restore images before update, did the update, and then went back to install to inactive slot. Rebooted and it was still on 11.2.3.3 so I tried again. Upon trying again, my phone got to a Qualcomm debug/error mode. I experienced this before when on a different boot slot for some other diagnosis of another issue in the past so I switched boot slots.
The other boot slot is stuck in fastboot mode I come to find so I check what it shows if I reverted back to the other boot slot, which was the Qualcomm error. Now instead of a Qualcomm error, it shows language options, one of which is English, and then gives me "boot reason", "wipe data and cache" and "advanced". I believe this is the OnePlus recovery menu, which I have not needed to use before and in the past, used TWRP on other devices.
Can't I just reflash a whole system image for 11.2.4.4 (it'd have to be the European one right now since Global isn't available) via fastboot and it should be fixed, albeit unrooted and I can just re-root? I'd like to try this, but there's no "flash-all.bat" and I don't know the proper flash order for the Euro images within payload.bin as there's no xml file (I looked up a guide for directions on how to flash without flash-all.bat that I have used on other devices). Oh, and I tried to fastboot a known good boot.img and on one of the slots, it works fine, but still wont boot. The other gives error "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)". I'm stumped.
Wondering if this has been experienced by anyone else before. Wiping my device is the last resort and shall be avoided at all costs after how much I have configured it to my liking.
I saw the following on another guide:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Followed this guide here after extracting the Europe full system image via Payload-dumper and it now boots somewhat, but after it looks like it's loading into OOS and boot is complete, I get a black screen instead of the lock screen. I get charging sounds when plugged into the computer, but just a black screen.

Wondering if this has to do with the Europe 11.2.4.4 on my Global device. Going to try reverting to 11.2.2.2 Global full image now.

Geez, good luck

Just tried flashing the older 11.2.2.2 images one at a time and now it's stuck in recovery...
The closest I can get it to full booting is with 11.2.4.4 Europe full image and I get a black screen only, after it boots up with the OnePlus logo. When plugged in, I get a charging sound every 10-20 seconds or so. Too bad there's no 11.2.4.4 full image for Global or I'd try that.
Also just tried fastboot boot 11.2.4.4_global_boot.img on this 11.2.4.4 Europe image and still no go. Boots and makes sounds, but black screen still.

Have you tried the MSM tool?

I was considering it, but don't want to lose any data. Next step is to contact OnePlus technical support during normal hours and see if they can work with me to resolve this one. I believe I read here on XDA that people have contacted them and usually are able to resolve the issue. Trying to avoid clearing data as the device is fine as it boots, but I think the Europe image is conflicting somewhere and not allowing me into the system since it boots all the way to the lock screen, but I don't see a lock screen, just a blank screen with sounds after boot seemingly working, along with charging sounds (albeit, sounding every 10-20s like its periodically charging).
This is so odd though because I did everything as I should've and update seemingly occurred, but system version still showed 11.2.3.3. So I go back to system update and it said there was an issue and to restart again. Did that two times with magisk revert image and restore to inactive and it then stopped booting.

If you're able to get to the recovery you can try sideloading the zip file
ADB Sideload name.zip
That should put the rom back to default, I would reboot the phone back into recovery and then do a wipe or go to fastboot and use "fastboot -w" to wipe the userdata

Does stock recovery support ADB? At 8 pro you needed modified one..

As far as I know, it should do as long as the drivers are installed properly, you can check with "ADB Devices", if you see the number returned then the phone is responding.
As for the fastboot commands above, I know there was a post on the OP7P forum that would make fastboot script packs for each build, if you use the script from those, you should able to amend it to flash the images above. Afaik the structure is likely the same anyway. The post also shows "ADB push" commands you can use to flash individual images to the phone.
I might have a look later and see if I can make a similar one although there seems to be a lot more build versions on the OP9P than there were for the OP7P.
Might just be easier to use the Payload Dumper program to unpack the images from the payload.bin file (instructions here) and then use a generic script to flash them to the phone, all the different models should have similar images although I do know there's an additional India.img for the Indian models (which I think is also shown in the global rom).

Yeah I'm working at the moment so not on my own PC, can't really test it out

Just tried. ADB with stock recovery is "unauthorized"..So modified is needed if one wants to use stock recovery with adb

I tried flashing all of the 11.2.4.4 Europe full system image payload_dumper extracted images (such as boot.img, system.img, dtbo.img) to the phone and I get where I am now. It goes through boot, but no lock screen, just a non-lit/black screen with sounds that the phone is charging when plugged in and is recognized by the computer (but can't see internal storage since you have to use notification center to turn on usb storage).

See if you can do a fastboot -w to wipe the userdata in case it's been left with unusable data.

This is what I'm trying to avoid...
Since it mostly boots on the Euro 11.2.4.4, I feel that the Global full image would resolve this, but OnePlus never updates their darn website with the latest for Global.

Are there actual hw differences between AA and BA?

There's a pinned post at the top of the forum with all the available latest roms. Not sure they've added Global yet tho. Best going there or Oxygen Updater (when the phone is working) than the download page tbh, OnePlus ALWAYS takes ages to add builds there

Not that I know of, but I have seen users use the Europe image to update their device on this forum before with the OP9Pro because they either didn't want to wait or needed to fix their device for whatever reason and the Europe version worked fine. So I don't know if this is different on 11.2.4.4.

I know that BA is coming first than AA. Dont know reason for that but with op8p situation was same. Then was talk about googles servers or something but cant remember what that was exactly because it never affected me..

I wish I could go without my phone for weeks until they post the latest firmware to see if that even works, but I can't so I guess I'll have to use the msm tool and wipe all of my internal storage of documents, including taxes, and various files and downloads I've amassed over the past half decade. This really sucks. All because of a simple OTA that should've never caused this. They really should prevent this from being possible with the OTA update tool built-in to their system.
