Alright guys, I was trying to fix my fingerprint (which I ended up doing) by flashing the global dev ROM 7.8.31 via fastboot with the miflash tool but I accidentally locked the bootloader while doing so. My phone came with the bootloader unlocked and now I can no longer unlock the bootloader. in developper options, the OEM unlocking option is enabled but no matter what I do in fastboot, the process simply does not work. I get the remote token verification has failed message. I have tried every freakin guide out there but my phone now refuses to get unlocked. I can't flash anything with miflash tool anymore, it just says failed, even when trying to flash the global dev 7.8.31 ROM. Anyone can help me here? Xiaomi says my device is unsupported for unlocking yet it was unlocked from the start........
What i did was the official unlock guide from xiaomi where you will get the code from them. Sadly you have to wait for 3days to be able to unlock them again.
Well check this thread...

Well I did that but it kept on saying I had too many IP requests of sorts but I used TunnelBear and set my location to Hong Kong and that allowed me to bypass that and the request was passed through. Surprisingly, I got a message 4 hours later that said I was able to unlock it instead of the 2-7 days it took for most people to get theirs
Same happened to me. I re-lock bootloader to install android pay, and bricked my phone.
Have to reboot in EDL mode (after >50 tries) and flash again.
But... Flashed a locked bootloader version, so i have to request for official unlock (phone came unlocked)
Now I have unlocked bootloader, with Magisk and Safety Net module with Android Pay working fine.
PS: i also had the IP problem. Used a Chinese proxy to override restriction.
Is it possible to relock bootloader without wiping data? All my previous devices didn't require wipe, but I received such strange warning when tried to relock bootloader on Z2 Force Sprint

I believe you're not able to relock the bootloader until Motorola release a signed bootloader. I had the page once before I'll see if I can find it again and add an edit if I do.

Don't relock your bootloader unless you want a brick. Technically you can relock it, but everything has to be legit. You've already voided the warranty, relocking won't reinstate that, all that will happen is you'll be bricked with nothing to do about it because you've locked the bootloader.
Why do you want to relock it?
I would like to relock my bootloader and wondering the accuracy of this last post. Will relocking my Sprint Z2 Force bootloader brick my device?
I'm running completely stock via OTA 8.0.0 no root. The reason I want to relock my bootloader is bringing my phone to out of box status and pass SafetyNet. I don't want to root to get this done and I want to continue receiving OTA's.
I understand that my warranty is void when I unlocked bootloader originally and I understand relocking my bootloader will wipe data (factory reset).
Will this brick my phone?
Can I relock anymore?
What are the fastboot commands to relock the Z2?
Thanks!

I would suggest flashing one of the flash alls for sprint before doing it to ensure being fully stock. The command is below. Also i f you ever have any issues and want to reunlock, you always can with your original unlock code.
"fastboot oem lock"
You'll get a "are you sure" message. Type in the command again and poof, relocked status.

So, I did a "fastboot oem lock" and it re locked the bootloader. Restart bootloader, shows locked. Restart phone and still getting a splash screen similar to the one when your unlocked but this time it says "Device has loaded a different Operating System". Continues to boot normally into the system without issues. This was odd so I unlocked again did a Flashall w/ "XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-6_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" and "fastboot oem lock". Both times said the lock was successful. But I'm still getting this boot splash screen with test reading "Device has loaded a different Operating System". System boots but still fails SafetyNet.
What gives? What am I missing?
From what I can muster up on XDA I can see that "you need a signed boot.img". Does this mean something and how can I find this?
Can anyone who has unlocked and then relocked their bootloader report on the behavior of your phone? Do you get the same "different OS" splash screen? Has anyone been successful at making it go away and passing safetynet?

I've been working on this all morning trying a couple different methods. But none have been successful. But the best I can figure, when in bootloader, there is a message stating that your system is "Modified". Somehow, that needs to get changed to what I can only speculate as "unmodified", or something alike.
I tried 3 different versions of returning to stock
First one I tired I cannot seemed to find now
Secondly, I tired:

Posted by Uzephi
I added the command "fastboot oem lock" 2 times just above the fastboot reboot command; thus locking bootloader.
But upon reboot, I still get the modified OS message.
Lastly, I tried this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76850077&postcount=6
I downloaded https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/TMO/XT1789-04_NASH_TMO_C_8.0.0_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Followed the instructions (to some degree) and modified them for Linux since I am not a windows user.
After reboot, radio did not work. No WiFi, not data, nothing. Developer options was already enabled, but oem bootloader unlocking option was grayed out. Now I cannot unlock my bootloader and flash an updated OS.
Thanks for the reply! As of now I am stock latest Sprint 8.0.0 July update with bootloader locked. I get the "Your device has loaded a different Operating System" splash screen when I boot up with a "ID:" followed by nothing. I don't know what this "ID:" with nothing following this means. Also when I run a SafetyNet status app is says failed. But, everything else in the OS appears to be working. Google Play shows "Certified" status and all my apps that require SafetyNet is working (Banking apps, Netflix, Hulu, Google Pay, etc...). So I accomplished my mission in getting these apps working and everything else appears stock. The only thing that troubles me is this "Your device has loaded a different Operating System" splash screen and the failed status in the SafetyNet app. Would love to know how to fix this or an explanation on why.

That message appear because you've unlocked your bootloader before, I'm getting that message too and I can update my device via OTA. If you change that splash screen OTAs will fail.

Yeah, I was trying to find out if the phone could be reverted back to an out of back state. Another words, no splash screen saying "HEY! I HAVE BEEN MESSED WITH!" like you can on any other phone I have ever owned.
Thanks!
Yes you can

Yes you can , I already had this issue with my moto z2 force in Morocco , so what I did is I connected the phone to internet via bluetooth and when I added my google accounte the unlocking oem in dev option was normal , so I was able to flash roms again . Hope this will help you
I think there is no way to relock bootloader without wipe the device. Also you can relock the bootloader and you will not have any problems. I've already done it, at least with my sprint moto z2 force. the message there is no way to remove it, only flashing a logo.bin, "the boot splash" or replacing the logo.bin of the flash all package by the one of your preference.

So, which of the methods to re-lock did finally work? I was running on Android 8 before, OTA failes for at least 10 times, but suddenly it worked to upgrade to Android 9. Now I am weirdly not passing SafetyNet-check anymore (was working fine on Android 8, GooglePay etc).
Any recommendations? I just need the stupid GPay thing working
Hi everyone.
I have got myself stuck in a weird case of brick for my honor 7x BND-AL10C675
I was in LOS, thought of trying Dolby, which caused bootloop. So I did factory reset in stock recovery, but somehow that locked my frp, and didn't solve my bootloop.
So I have an unlocked bootloader, but locked FRP
Options I have tried:
1. Flashing files - not allowed due to FRP
2. dload - giving software install error at 5%, still searching for correct firmware file.
3. Erecovery download - I don't have modem, so I am making proxy server in mobile and using that as an hotspot, but that too not working
I know about the proprietary solutions, but I am trying to find the open source ones. Please reply to this thread of you have any information.

same for me
i paid for DC-Unlocker ( 19€ for 72 hours ) but still in the same situation
*** edit ***
finally DC-Unlocker was useful because it allows to bypass "frp lock" and I finally managed to restore my phone
it was just not as simple as it supposed to be
Hi,
I have recently bought a T-mobile version of OP7T. Even though T-Mobile unlocked the network permanently, I still didn't like T-mobile branding at the start, plus I wanted Stock OxygenOs. So what did I do?
(No root and No TWRP)
1. I've Unlocked the bootloader via the method in this post. Stage-1
2. I have flashed the stock rom which I downloaded from this post. Stage-2
3. Phone loads up perfectly fine and now I have stock OOS. to make sure everything is fine, I also did a factory reset and re-flashed the stock rom to make sure there's no track of previous roms.
4. I then wanted to relock the bootloader in order to keep my device safe and enjoy having a normal device like any others without the ugly message at the startup.
5. So I put it in fastboot mode and executed "fastboot flashing lock" or "fastboot oem lock" and it gave me the options and I locked the bootloader.
6. after this, I can't do anything else. it keeps showing me the page where it says Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot and in order to get rid of I need to keep unlocking the devices relfashing everything and the rest of the story.
I've read all the accurate and inaccurate infos on forums where another guy claims when he did turn everything to stock (recovery + rom + factory reset) things go back to normal and he's done. in my case it doesn't work.
Please help me, how I can be able to relock the bootloader without running into Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot.
Thanks.
First I think no help is stupid, since that is the regular way of doing it. Second you should have read extensively before doing what you did. T-mobile is very specific device. What he probably didn't mention is that you need the original rom t-mobile branded, since you need original software to be able to relock bootloader. I would recommend use msm- tool to recover you device. Read carefully and next time just be sure that what you are doing is informed.
I have unlocked the device and installed everything. the phone works like a charm.
My only problem is that I can't re-lock the bootloader.

That was my point in order to relock your device you must have the original firmware that the phone came with if it's t-mobile. Installed in both slots. Then you can relock you device.

After the first boot you must update via OTA, then after the 7T reboots you can go back into the bootloader and relock it. I'm typing this message out on my T-Mobile 7T running the Global OOS 11 version. _ANY_ modification to the system whatsoever will cause the "Device is Corrupt" error, due to a mismatch of the keys used by OnePlus to sign the firmware. I've attached a screenshot of my "About phone" section as proof of the conversion, however, I can't show proof of my bootloader's state because I don't have access to a PC at the moment and *#*#7378423#*#* didn't work, neither did *#*#7378423*#*#. If I remember to the next time I'm near a PC I'll add proof of that too.

P.s. I do realize that I'm almost a year late to this discussion, but I thought knowing would/could still be useful to someone.
I have a Mi 10T purchased in Italy, and therefore coming factory loaded with a "branded" firmware RJDEUHG. It should be a Windtre modded ROM, please correct me if I'm wrong.
The latest known working ROM was the miui_APOLLOEEAHGGlobal_V12.5.3.0.RJDEUHG_da9e1c75b5_11.0.
Tired of waiting for the slow updates, compared to the unbranded global rooms, I decided to de-brand the phone and upgrade to a stock RJDEUXM.
But none of the XM firmware would load from recovery, therefore I applied and successfully unlocked the bootloader.
With the bootloader unlocked I managed to successfully flash
apollo_eea_global_images_V13.0.2.0.SJDEUXM_20220329.0000.00_12.0_eea_ad6f7ce846
apollo_eea_global_images_V12.5.12.0.RJDEUXM_20220208.0000.00_11.0_eea_664a15ed19
but both got stuck in a bootloop right after flashing.
During one of the many attempts, I used the MiFlash tool and accidentally left the default Flash & Lock option, the flashing was successful and the bootloader was locked.
At the moment I'm on V13.0.2.0.SJDEUXM, and can load onto bootloader and recovery, while, as mentioned before, the system won't load and get stuck in bootloop.
If I try to unlock the bootloader once again, the MiUnlock does not recognize the phone while in fastboot mode, remaining in the "Not connected to the phone" screen.
Any help would be really appreciated.
maybe, this is the solution, seems the same issue

if you have some lucky, boot normally
