unlockable oem unlock - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
This is my first post, so I apologize for bad English.
I have a problem when unlocking the bootloader of my z2 force, I am not able to enable the oem unlock in "programmer". Has anyone been through this and knows how to solve it ?

Have you got unlock key from Motorola?

May I have the same problem.
I din't go this step yet.
The "Allow OEM Unlock" on my Developer Options appears unavaliabe/grayed, with a message below like: "connect to the internet or contact your carrier".
To be honest, I don't pretend to unlock it now, but I usually make experiences with ROMs and things-like when my device become old and still working after I get a new one.

Did you get "OEM UNLOCK" tickeable again or is it still greyed out?
Edit: Just wait 7 days... or Change your system date to 8 days ago And search for an update, then restart your phone, fix the date, search for an update and restart again.

I still can not enable the OEM unlock is in gray, as I can enable it since I want to install an official rom and I fear that a poblema

You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash stock (official) ROMs, but you can not downgrade without OEM unlock.
Try to change your system date to 8 days ago, restart and search for official updates on config menu. Restart again, change the date for today and search again for an update. Restart third time and see if OEM unlock is tickable... That's what I did..

I already do it and nothing, so I intend to install the manual ROM and I do not know if it can be installed without unlocking the botloader

Are you able to flash a stock official firmware? If so, flash the latest firmware for your variant, do a factory reset afterwards, then check to see if oem unlocking is restored in developer options.

the truth I have never installed any ROM and that is my doubt, since as I can not enable the unlocking EOM I do not know what ROM is left, my model is 1789-05 and I bring 7.1.1 openmx

I Didn't understand what you said. Don't you know which rom is installed? Just see the name/version on config/about. If you are on a custom ROM, you already have an unlocked bootloader.
If you want to be sure. Just flash the latest stock version to your model and flash without unlocking your bootloader.

I had already read it, but at the beginning it says that I have to have the boot manager unlocked, will it be necessary for what I want to do?

No, it's not necessary unlocked bootloader to flash stock ROMs. Locked bootloader's will block a downgrade attempt. If you are flashing the same version or a new one, you are blgoot to go. Nothing to worry. The unlocked bootloader is recommended so you can downgrade or install a custom recovery if something goes wrong.

What does your flashfile.bat look like? Maybe you ask in the other thread if someone has a working flashall. Then go from there. I have a suspicion that you have the famous false locked bootloader, but that can only be confirmed by trying to flash an official stock firmware. I have an idea on how to remedy that if that is indeed the case. First though, you should try and find a proper flashall for your firmware, ask in this thread. Someone there should have what you need. That thread deal specifically with your variant, so most anything you need will come from there.

I had already unlocked it to root
I was blocked again when I was trying to install Invictrix
one day passed and I unlocked it again with UNIQUE-KEY with fastboot
But, it was blocked again when I tried to reinstall Invictrix
I'll wait until tomorrow to try to unlock again

If you already unlocked your bootloader, you don't need to unlock it again.. what is write in bootloader? Locked or unlocked? You can't be on a custom ROM with locked bootloader.

This "slots" fails is all about the new a/b slots format present on Oreo ROMs.I believe this fail occurs because you are on nougat ROM.
Anyway.The important files to flash is partition/bootloader/boot/system/modem... Those can't be failed.
If you are struggling with using flashaal.bat, you can do command individually.Try send a message on technical's guide.

I already tried and I got the first commands wrong and no longer continue, as I could know what original Carrier is my phone, I suspect that it is from Telcel Mexico only that they installed a released ROM.

you have to have a sim card installed and also be signed into a google account. once you do that, the option should be enabled.

G3 bootloader is locked and there is no unlock method except bump
The G3's bootloader is locked, no matter which variant you have.
The only reason we have TWRP working and all is because of an exploit named Bump!
Basically, it signs the images so the bootloader allows them to be run.

@Ariac Konrel well that's bull****. D851 = T-Mobile version is just fine and unlocked.
About the other versions yes they are all locked. Perhaps to verify it if you really want you could go to fastboot and input command: fastboot oem device-info
What I get with the command is this:
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

I'm using a D855 variant (international), I just flashed it, root it, get custom recoveries days ago ..and I'm using CyanogenMod 13 now.. Does that mean its bootloader's unlocked ?!

[Resolved] OEM Unlocking disabled on Google Store purchased phone

EDIT: Resolved: While the OS had said it was up-to-date when I originally checked. It was not. After a bit of time it alerted me that an update was available. After updating the OS the OEM Unlocking option was no longer disabled.
I purchased a Pixel XL specifically from Google Store because I wanted to receive either an bootloader unlocked or bootloader unlockable phone without resorting to any hacks that may not work in the future. It just arrived and I enabled Developer Options and enabled USB Debugging. However, the OEM Unlocking option is off and disabled (greyed).
I booted into the bootloader, it shows as locked. If I try to unlock it I get:
>fastboot flashing unlock
...
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.051s
If I try to flash it with the temporary TWRP boot up image:
>fastboot boot <path-to>\twrp-3.0.2-0-alpha2-fastboot-marlin.img"
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.874s]
booting...
(bootloader) Command is not supported.
(bootloader) Please unlock device to enable this command.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for proceeding. Thank you.

Did you go into Developer options is Settings and enable OEM unlocking first? If you don't have Developer Options in settings go to Settings/About Phone and then tap Build Number a bunch of times to enable it.

Thanks for your help ilatimer1, but I have resolved it now. I had edited the original post to indicate this but probably should have followed up at the end for your sake. I was just trying to avoid bumping it. At the time I asked the question, I mentioned that that option was disabled.
When I originally setup the phone I didn't enter WiFi data since I knew a factory reset would occur when I unlocked the bootloader. However, as a result of this, I didn't get alerted to the presence of an OS update. Ultimately, I setup WiFi and discovered the availability of an update. I proceeded to update and the OEM Unlocking feature then became enabled. Thanks again.
I unwapped and went stright to fastboot. didn't know update needed. thanks
Same issue unresolved
When I go into developer options OEM unlocking is still greyed out even after I downloaded the software update. Any leads on what to do?

The Pixels purchased from Verizon do not have unlockable bootloaders, so the switch will stay greyed out. If it is still on 7.0, you can use dPixel8 to bypass and unlock the bootloader. If you updated to 7.1.1, you are stuck with a locked bootloader.

so there is no solution if Ive already updated to 7.1.1?

No there no solution right now. I wouldn't say there's absolutely no chance of finding another exploit, this is XDA after all, but I wouldn't count on it.

The Allow OEM Unlocking switch asks for a PIN? Do you have a PIN set up for the lockscreen? I'm guessing that's what it's asking for. Your contract status with ATT has nothing to do with the bootloader status. If you think so, just try it without your SIM card in it.

Trying to Flash January OTA

I still haven't received the January Security Update, so i tried updating via the OTA. But i get the following error message. When i type adb reboot recovery. Its like my stock recovery is broken because i get a no command error. My phone isnt' recognized in win10 anymore. Anyone else having this issue? My bootloader is unlocked. Not sure why that would matter.
Tried flashing factory image. I can't install because my bootloader doesn't match. Any ideas? I'm wondering if the January update isn't ready for my phone version
It maybe a bad data cable I had the same issue kinda cable must have put out to much power or something next day I tried it and everything worked.
Adb wouldn't work but fastboot commands would sometimes then next day was able to do all the commands to root and install kernal

The boot loader not matching usually means you did not fully unlock it. I would bet you did unlock, but skipped unlock critical. You need the second one to be able to flash the bootloader. Otherwise you can only flash the same bootloader.

Saw this same issue with another user on another thread. First of all, do you have OEM unlocking and USB debugging turned on in developer options?
Did you already run BOTH bootloader unlocking commands?
Since your OTA and factory image flash didn't work, you'll need to go back to the factory image you were on before you started this process.
If your able to get this all accomplished, then you can proceed to the January update. Best of luck :good:
How do I go about fully unlocking the bootloader? My phone came with 8.0. I do recall that after unlocking I got the mo command booting into recovery.
I do have OEM unlocking turned on

unsuccessful updated to January image. I updated adb and still got the corrupt bootloader message. flashed december image and have a phone again.

Don't do adb reboot recovery.
Turn it off, hold volume down, press power, and when bootloader screen shows, move volume button to choose Recovery.
When little green Android symbol shows, press Power, then Volume Up for a moment. You're now in Recovery.
Choose Apply Update from ADB, then follow instructions here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
It will update you without wiping.

Download the full factory image. Not just the OTA. Open the flash-all.bat file and look near the end and edit out the -w and save it.
As long as you remove the -w that will flash the whole factory image but save your date, apps and set up.
So after the edit put it back in fastboot mode and run the flash-all.bat file.

Have you verified the sha-256 of the image you downloaded to ensure it's not corrupt?
Goto https://developers.google.com/android/images and copy the SHA-256 checksum from the Full Image you downloaded and compare it to the file downloaded here: http://onlinemd5.com/
- Make sure to choose sha-256 on the md5 site. This will rule out if the downloaded image you have is corrupted or not.

Did you unlocked officially and waited 360hrs via Mi Unlock tool? Also what is the MIUI Global/China version your currently using?
I had similar experience with a Redmi 5 Plus. If you're willing to open the phone up. You can short the two pins using tweezers. Then use Xiaomi MiFlash to flash the China ROM. Once done, you can now bound the account and wait 360 hours.
Otherwise return it and get your money back.
but add account on binding options , i didnt
mi account status just unlocked

just
current account is not bound to this devices
add your account and device in miui setting---developer options---mi unlock status
BUT
in my devices MI Unlock status is UNLOCKED, so i didnt add account to binding

So, you can still use your phone then, no hard brick whatsoever.. Well you didn't answer my question, what miui version you are using? Cause i assume that may be a bug from a tampered rom that's why your seeing Unlocked in your Dev Options and in reality it is still locked. If you can bind your account, bind it then try to unlock it officially via Mi Unlock tool using PC, see if you will get the 360hr waiting time.
sir iam sorry to late answer
well is fix i got fake rom from i buy from distributor
i see only the test point to flashing again
can you give me recomend rom ??
i use phonecell can't upload the pic
Finaly...I find same problem with my "Whyred"...
I have ready to try with other way to fix it, until now I still can't find the way....
Maybe to fix this problem only flash rom with test point way
But until now there's still no courage to do it....
Try flashing with fastboot rom and choose clean all and lock. Otherwise you can try with edl mode
edl mode is mean i must test point ??
sad of me

Try the Global 9.5.17 ROM. It is still safe.

I am in 9.5.17 now, it has anti v3, but 9.5.19 has anti v4 already, so don't upgrade to 9.5.19. You can see this article https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...warning-update-to-recent-miui-builds-t3814895 about ARP.
Hi, i also have the same issue as yours.
I believe you purchase the phone in Indonesia as i did. i have tried this method -> en.miui.com/thread-2109262-1-1.html but the issue is still there.
hopefully someone will find the solution for this.

I am from Indonesia too. I bought the device from Batam. The first time i got it, the ROM is Global Stable 9.5.6 (i think it is). So, i upgraded it to 9.5.17 by downloading the full ROM and flashed it by updater, it succeed with nothing wrong happened. I was so lucky i didn't upgrade it to 9.5.19 as it has anti v4.
Have you tried to unlock using Mi Flash tool with present condition? What was the error message? I read this topic from the beginning and you haven't mention the result.

Or may be you can try to flash the ROM with built in updater app. Any possible solution is worth to try right? The worst case, you just take your phone to service center, may be they can help you with it.

Hi, i have tried using miflash tool and error occur in 99% said that i need to bind my account in developer option.
The thing is that miui status is unlocked in the developer option, so there is no option to bind mi account. Thats why it is called fake ubl.

Question Install stock RETUS firmware on tracfone variant?

I recently purchased a Tracfone (StraightTalk from Walmart) Moto E 2020
I immediately noticed this device had bloatware on it, and want to install the "RETUS" or retail "stock" firmware like you'd find on one purchased directly from Motorola
So I installed ADB and the Motorola drivers on my computer and attempted to flash the stock firmware I downloaded and got these errors
sending 'recovery_a' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.436s]
writing 'recovery_a'...
(bootloader) *****************************************************
(bootloader) WARNING: Flashing vbmeta image is required prior to
(bootloader) flashing recovery image.
(bootloader) *****************************************************
(bootloader) flash permission denied
sending 'super' (262140 KB)...
OKAY [ 5.759s]
writing 'super'...
(bootloader) *****************************************************
(bootloader) WARNING: Flashing vbmeta image is required prior to
(bootloader) flashing super image.
(bootloader) *****************************************************
(bootloader) flash permission denied
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 6.333s
as you can see, it says "Flash permission denied"
the screen on the phone reports OEM_locked for the bootloader status
I then thought the bootloader needed to be unlocked, so I went to the Motorola site for unlocking the bootloader and it said that this device's bootloader isn't unlockable
So now I'm stuck with an issue, am I doing something wrong or is there some workaround to get the retail stock firmware on this device?
If not, is there a way I can root this device to remove the Tracfone bloatware?
If I can't do anything and am stuck with the Tracfone image I may just return it
The Tracfone variant of these phones come with bloatware like the important sounding "Mobile Services" which started downloading and installing apps like TikTok and Facebook and "Game Center" and stuff without my permission or ever even opening up the app the moment my device connected to WiFi which thankfully I was able to disable and then uninstall the apps it installed, however the "Device Pulse" app which Tracfone installs to give themselves remote diagnostics to your phone isn't disableable which sucks
Followup after conducting my own research, yep the bootloader is NOT unlockable, and this prevents you from both rooting the device or switching the firmware out for something else.
To anyone who is wanting to purchase one of these devices, I'd avoid the Tracfone StraightTalk/Total Wireless, etc. versions entirely
my own experience with a boost version from walmart was that though it was not listed on the motorola website as supported for bootloader unlocking, I tried following their process/webform anyway, and they did give me a bootloader unlock code which did work for mine.
It's not rooting, but it helps stop the bleed:
AppMgr III(com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd)-(App 2 SD, Hide and Freeze apps)

Well that's the exact model I have and I just successfully unlocked my bootloader... Seriously, it's now unlocked.

Just looke, one post on the site, and nothing since. Unlikely to ever be back.
Given that, what is the purpose of Tracfone locking the bootloader for a phone they will never get a penny of revenue?
