A couple months back, I finished rooting my phone and installed a custom ROM, now I'm looking to sell the phone and I need to get it back to 100%
After following Uziphi's post,but when trying to relock the bootloader, I'm now greeted upon a "You device has loaded a different OS" warning, and I'm hoping to get rid of that so I can sell the phone.
It's strange because when you go into fastboot, it even says that the "Software status: Official", and after locking the bootloader, it's changed from "bootloader unlocked" to "flashing_locked" which I'm assuming that it means that it hasn't really locked the bootloader.
Basically, how do I get my phone to 100% stock, enough so that you can sell the phone, and have everything work.
Thanks!
I dunno the answer to your question, but perhaps you could just leave bootloader unlocked and flash a replacement logo.bin over it? I doubt anyone who bought it would ever notice. Either they'd never care about bootloader like a regular person, or they'd notice when they try to unlock it that it's already unlocked and not care. https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/development/remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t3702353

I'm not sure if that goes away, someone else might know better. It was discussed somewhere in the threads, and I believe what happens is that when you unlock your bootloader the stores that info and you get a corresponding splash screen. When you re-lock your bootloader, the phone stores that info as well and stores it as unlocked and relocked. What command did you use to lock the bootloader?
Note - re-locking your bootloader should be done with caustion. If you don't have everything official and in it's place you could brick your device.

The flag is saved in DTO. Oreo OTA reset that flag somehow but most of us unlocked after or had unlocked so it stayed 1
Just an FYI on this, in this state it won't pass Safety Net, at least as far as Google Pay is concerned. That's when I really "felt" the issue. The splash screen didn't bother me so much.

Right. The flag SN checked is "bootloader unlock=" there are 3 variables. 0=never unlocked, 1=unlocked, 2=relocked. If that flag isn't 0, then CTS will fail.

What variant do you have? I may be able to work something up to at least hide the other os message if you haven't found another way by now.
I am having the same issue:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Is there a way to reset/lock it properly, so that CTS passes and that damn warning upon boot is gone for good. God damn "security" bull****
EDIT: Tried XT1789-06 RETAIL and RETEU from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/ and both resulted in this error

Hi members
I have an I9195L mobile and I am trying to change the firmware to I9195 so that I can root it and unlock the sim - using this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558384.
Unfortunately, it gave me an error that shows " Secure Check Fail! : sbl 1 " . What could be the reason and how can I solve this problem and then load the new firmware?
Thanks in advance

It a very safe method of rooting. Unless you have a locked bootloader, which would complicate things.
You have knox bootloader that could be the problem

You can forget it. Looks like you have a locked bootloader from your network. Nothing can be done on such phones, unless your network provider decide to unlock them.

I suppose you can try again on different USB port (not a hub) or even a different PC. But if your phone truly has a locked bootloader nothing can be done.

You should've done more research before you start... Your Knox is already triggered - 0x1... Should been on 0x0
In *some* rare cases, USB port, cable or some other USB related incompatibility/problem may throw you the 'Secure Check Fail! : sbl1' error. But it rare. BUT if your phone is a vendor specific brand with a locked bootloader, NO you can't do anything. Crack a locked bootloader is on a totally different level, why do you think it more difficult to 'jailbreak' an iDevice? It because Apple has a locked bootloader.

That is what I wanted to do jailbreak the locked bootloader of I9195L version!
Before I didn't know that this phone has a locked bootloader, so I tried different options like rooting and stuff. Now I understood, this phone has it locked.
There is no such thread here for doing that for I9195L version. all are for "I9195" model.
Theoretically 9195 & 9195L are same. So what I thought, first I will change my phone to I9195 and then break it

LOL, go for it! 9195L sound like just a network specific variant, which tend to come with a locked bootloader.
And again, more disappointment. Another phone with a locked bootloader! I spoke to LG and T-mobile tech support. Of course they both are playing the blame game on one another but bottom line is is that the LG G5 will be locked down just like the Samsung S7. I was told we would have to wait to see if an unlock option comes out down the road like the G4 had. What another let down....
If this is true, I'll be sticking with my LG4 for awhile.
I was thinking of getting the S7 Edge until I read about the locked bootloader.
Was hoping the LG5 wouldn't be locked.
Patience is a virtue
You are overreacting because LG has a history of providing an unlock method just as long as the owner realizes that they have registered the phone has warranty void. This is no big deal because we already know the risks involved with rooting and loading custom roms, and worst case scenario all you have to do is have insurance for that phone so if you hose you can always get another phone.
If this is indeed true, I have a tendency to believe that T-Mobile is the one requesting locked bootloaders (and not Samsung, as they led us to believe for the S7) and that most of their phones will have locked bootloaders from this point forward. Unfortunately the "uncarrier" isn't so "uncarrier" anymore and we will now rely on OEMs to provide an unlocking method. Luckily, HTC already has a set-in-place unlocking method so even if the HTC 10 comes with a locked bootloader, as I now suspect it will, there shouldn't be any reason we can't get it S-OFF/unlocked.
T-Mobile is slowly switching back to the ways of it's evil step-brothers, ATT & VZW.

Yes, HTC has had simple process you can use to unlock your bootloader for some time now, I think since the original HTC One... I did this with my M8. Getting S-OFF is another story, you have to buy an app called Sunshine....which is well worth it considering the work the devs put in to accomplish this.
But every LG device has a locked bootloader that have to unlock via adb if it's not truly locked down. I wonder if he doesn't know that. Hopefully he is just uninformed but T-Mobile is getting cocky now that they're making good money.

And that is the big question.... is it locked as in "cannot be unlocked by the user" or is it locked as in "all you have to do is type Fastboot OEM Unlock" and you're home free?
It's locked cause it has more enterprise security than Samsung phones. It was accepted by the NSA.

You have to buy international variant and you are sure will be released from LG official bootloader unlock solution as it was for G4...
Grab it from handtech.co.uk store
It looks like it's an 820 thing. Qualcomm is driving this. T-Mo is already working on an approved unlock from Samsung for the S7 and S7e.
Disappointed to hear the latest news, but I would be happy enough to get root (most of the G4s with locked bootloaders have root at least). Hopefully all is not lost!
Has anyone with their device in hand actually confirmed this? I've got mine in hand and don't wanna brick anything by trying to run fastboot oem unlock on it...

a) enable developer options (Settings in ROM)
check to see if there is a "Enable OEM unlock" option
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...nable-oem-unlock-option-in-developer-options/
b) reboot into bootloader/fastboot (turn phone fully off... then hold volume up+power, or volume down+power)
there should be a screen (serial number, ROM build number etc)... provide photo of screen
it usually tells you whether bootloader is locked or unlocked

There definitely was an Enable OEM Unlock options in developer options. So I enabled it..
Rebooted into fastboot (Hold volume down and then insert usb cable while phone is off) and ran the fastboot oem unlock just as shown above in the screen cap. Unfortunately when I try to get the status now, it doesn't say unlocked or locked. It's empty (see screenshot)
Fastboot now says the exact following:
---------------------------------------------
*Welcome to Fastboot Mode :
*HOW TO exit fastboot mode
1. Press the Power button for 10 secs to turn off the device
2. Use 'fastboot reboot' command if the fastboot is avaible
---------------------------------------
On reboot a yellow caution sign comes up and says
"Your device cannot be checked for software corruption"
So I bought myself the Motorola G10 phone just today and I'm interested in getting it rooted.

You wouldn't happen to know a way to get the OEM part unlocked?

It doesn't detect it when I'm in fastboot.

Still can't get the above command to work tho.
If I try and unlock the bootloader the normal way I can't because oem is not enabled because it's grayed out and won't let me enable it

You have to wait something like 48/72 hours and OEM unlock option will "unlock", then you can proceed with fastboot oem unlock *code*. It was driving me crazy too, then I found out some people on Lenovo forums saying that it magically un-greyed out after some days, so I just waited 3 days and it was actually true. Unfortunately chinese phones have their own "particularities" when it comes to unlocking bootloader.

It took me over an hour to figure out that tutorial of yours since it wasn't that clear but got it figured out at the end.
Hello colleagues, I would like you to help me please, I recently unlocked my device's bootloader and in an attempt to lock it again to remove the bootloader locked message, I got the following error: "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot." when flashing the rom to the device again it refuses, stating that the bootloader is locked, and when I ask to unlock it returns me to go to the settings, in the developer options section and from there activate the oem unlock, but it is not possible because the device it doesn't turn on, it's just from the error screen to the cell phone off, or from the cell phone off to the bootloader.
I'm desperate because the device is for my own use and I need to fix it urgently.
I faced the same issue. You cannot do anything about it. If you're under warranty, get the motherboard replaced in service center. Or you'll have to get your emmc replaced outside

Got it, it's not under warranty because I unlocked the bootloader, so the only way is to replace a motherboard?
If so where can I get support? Can it be at any technical assistance in the city or does it have to be an authorized motorola company?
Check in your area if someone can do it. Else getting a new motherboard is going to be very expensive

If so, is there any other way without having to replace the motherboard?
Hy patrick......can your phone gets in fastboot mode
You made a cardinal mistake - NEVER lock the bootloader on custom software.
The error message means that the firmware you installed is not signed or cannot be verified by the bootloader.
It looks like Motorola has a rescue tool here that may help. Otherwise, you might try sideloading an OTA package (if available); there is a tool here that may be helpful.
If not, you're SOL.
Yes you can repair it by flashing the stock rom through platform tools by fastboot method but firstly install adb drivers and usb drivers for your phone on pc check whether your phone is detected by pc in fastboot mode or not connect your phone to pc through usb cable and put your phone in fastboot mode and type fastboot devices on Command prompt if it detect your device then you are good to go .....and it doesn't require a unlocked bootloader this can help you......

I tried this method but it returned saying that the "bootloader flash permission denied" even with the device rom provided by motorola

A locked bootloader will always refuse flash commands.

I was not under warranty and no one is able to fix yet with any tool.
A guy here in Bangalore had a tool named Easy JTAG, he was trying to write to the UFS but it's failing there too. Idk what motorola wants lol

The issue is that it is so illogical that it seems that this error was made specifically to stop us developers and make us go to an authorized one to fix it, it makes no sense to re-lock the bootloader to return a bizarre error like this, and motorola doesn't to comment on this, I took it to an authorized one and they gave me the budget of 920 R$, about 181.23 Dollars, they said that to solve the problem, the device's motherboard should be replaced and the worst thing is that for being a recent device, I can't find the motherboard anywhere so I can change it myself and pay less.

Did you manage to fix it?
The error occurs due to locking the bootloader when phone is running on a custom boot image/ROM/rooted with magisk. It is really simple to fix, just boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash factory image/stock firmware.
The right way to lock the bootloader is to first factory reset the phone or install a stock firmware /factory image and you'll never experience this error again.
I recently fixed this error on a Google Pixel 7. You can watch the step-by-step tutorial here.

It is that simple on a Pixel. On Moto devices, LMSA won't flash with a locked bootloader, when the device is in this specific state. You can see the error below.

Also, it will not let you unlock the bootloader again, since the "OEM Unlocking" option is not checked anymore. And, obviously, you can't check it, since you can't boot.
So yes, the solution is to flash stock ROM. The problem is...you can't flash from fastboot (bootloader won't accept flash commands), and you can't use LMSA to flash either. So...you need to make sure everything is clean BEFORE attempting to lock the bootloader. In other words, do the cleanup with an unlocked bootloader, and make sure everything is back to stock before locking back the bootloader.

You all fixed now? I had same problem found a guy on telegram who fixed for a small fee, best money I ever spent
I am getting this pop up window of "api not deployed" when clicking on check my application. Has anyone experienced this before. I have contacted OnePlus and they are looking into it. I have tried multiple browsers and different devices with same result.

It's down again. This has happened in the past. Sometimes for hours or sometimes for weeks at a time. I just logged in and get the same error.
You have the option to flash Eu to unlock bootloader, bypassing the token

Yeah, I'm super-tempted to go this way. Every step of this has been just excruciating. Finally got the right drivers installed this morning, got into fastboot, got the token, then the Unlock Token site isn't working—for me, nothing happens on the page even, after I hit 'submit.'
But I think I'll go the MSM conversion to EU to Global.
Do I need to worry about not having an unlock.bin, or is it enough that I have the token ready to submit when the site goes back online?

I submitted mine and then flashed to EU with the conversion. Then went back to Tmo to test something and while I was there, I verified my token worked to unlock the bootloader. Then went back to Eu conversion
You already have the stub to submit later, that's great. You probably won't ever need it again but it's good to have just to have.
I've been on Eu oos11, flashed my modem back in, rooted, magisk, unlocked bootloader, everything works great. You always have the option to go back to Tmo at any time with the Tmo msm tool so there's no real risk here. Other than standard flashing disclaimers

One thing I forgot to mention. Crazazn said you need to unlock your bootloader while in Android 11. Either right after flashing the EU conversion or after taking the 11.2.10.10 OTA update. But before you go to 12/13 as those will require the token from OnePlus again. Even for Eu/global 12/13, they apparently noticed the oversight and fixed it in 12/13. And 13 doesn't need the modem flashed back in as that was also fixed

Hey, thank you for this. Silly question time—does the conversion roll me back to A11?
Currently, my phone (LE2127) is bone-stock but fully updated to Android 12 (Build C.21). My idea is to do the conversion to EU using craznazn's tool, flash the firmware, update through Oxygen Updater to current and "convert" this TMO to LE2125. So, any bootloader unlock should be done right after the conversion, right? And that can be done directly in fastboot without an unlock.bin (which is the point of the conversion), if I understand things correctly.

Yes, the current Tmo->Eu MSM tool will roll you back to 11.2.2.2 if I remember right (or 11.2.3.3 if not) And the regular Tmo MSM tool also rolls you back to 11, I can't remember exactly where but definitely 11.
Correct, after conversion, enable developer mode, enable adb, toggle OEM unlock and then head to fastboot like normal.
From there to get to 12 and then 13, there are various ways, none of which I've done.
It seems to be if you stay on Eu, you update to C.47 then c.65 (oos12) and then F.72 (oos13). But if you go to global, it's c.47 then c.66 and then F.17. Definitely double check that, as I'm going from memory and not my own experience on that.
C.xx is oos12
F.xx is oos13
I haven't done it because of the issues of oos12 and hesitancy for oos13 but I found some good information, including the firmwares/OTA zips and boot Images in the first and second posts here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-magisk-unlock-root-keep-root-oos-13-f-72.4252373/
