[GUIDE] Relock bootloader (Should work in all versions)

Guide updated!!!!!
If you wanna get back to stock ROM and relock bootloader + get OTAs working again, this is the right place!
DISCLAIMER: Relocking bootloader erases all your data/internal storage and (off course) remove TWRP/modules/root, so do a backup of all your data first. Also, I'm not responsible for any bricked devices (phones, SD Cards, etc). I tested it in my XT1955-1 and it worked fine, but we all know that errors might occur.
Finally, let's go to the steps.
Step 1 - Downloading necessary files
Download Android Platform Tools here and then extract it.
Install Motorola Drivers on your PC (download here).
Download the lastest firmware according to your variant/software channel here and extract it in the same folder you had extracted Android Platform Tools.
Download the "Lock Script" here, according to your android version and PC's OS.
For example: if your PC uses Windows as OS, and your phone is in android 10, download the "Lock-10q_windows.bat" file.
Or if you have a Linux distro on your PC and android 9 on your phone, download "Lock-9pie_linux.sh" file.
Place the file inside the platform-tools folder, where the ROM was extracted too.
Step 2 - Preparing your phone
Remove all your google account in device's settings and then go to Developer Options. Enable Android debugging and OEM unlocking (if you can't enable OEM unlocking, you may need to root your device first to get it avaible again (see Rooting thread)).
Power off your phone and put it fastboot mode. Connect it on PC using USB cable.
Step 3 - Installing Stock ROM and re-locking bootloader
Just double click on the Lock.bat/.sh file and it will reflash stock ROM and lock bootloader. Now all you have to do is wait till it finishes. This should take a few minutes to be done.
The phone will boot automatically after the last command is executed.
It seems to be a little hard, but it's easy. If you have any questions, let me know, I'll try to answer ASAP.

Very nice, it's really working! Thanks!

Works on xt1955-4 thanks very much, will the warranty still apply?

Yes, should work fine. Afaik, once you unlock your bootloader, your warranty is avoid, theoretically. But I guess you can send it to service center (if it's needed) with no problems. They don't always check if you have unlocked your bootloader or not.

Warning: Due to some changes in bootloader and people getting hard bricks in February security patch, i don't recommend to relock bootloader in that version, do it in December security patch instead!

Hello guys. I have Motorola Moto G7 Power (XT1955-4). I've tried to put in twrp and a rom, but when I rebooted my device it don't power on anymore. So I've searched many guides to repair. I've used "blankflash" and after many times I was finally power on my device and go in Fastboot Mode. But now there's another problem. When I connect with usb and open CMD and type "adb devices" appear:
LIST OF DEVICES ATTACHED
or
WAITING FOR DEVICES
I tried many things to fix it but nothing work. Now I've uninstalled everything on my pc, drivers too.
Maybe I've installed bad "blankflash"???
How can I fix my troubles?

If you're already in stock ROM with no modules and stuff installed on it, just skip this and jump to the next step. If you're not, then stay here.
Open CMD (command prompt) in the same folder you had extracted firmware and android platform tools.
Shift+right click and then "Open command window here" or just type CMD in the folder path bar at the top in windows explorer. Run this commands all at once in CMD:
Once it is done, DON'T power on your phone, just leave it as it is and let's go to the last step.
Step 4 - Relocking Bootoader
In cmd, run this commands all at once
Done! The phone will boot automatically after the last command is executed.

Problem with Fastboot reboot and Can't install new firmware

Hello guys, i have a mi 10t pro, today try after unlock devices 7 days to flashed and downgrade because my battery drain is significative, i had 12.5.1 eea firmware and try to downgrade to 12.0.19, but now phone is in continus reboot in to fastboot, i try to flash with last miflash tool, but after 2sec is tell me that firmware upgrade is complete and now i can't start my smartphone. i can try to flash last rom fastboot 12.5.1 but without result. How i can resolve this problem? thanks in advance

When trying to do any major change like a downgrade, you must factory reset. MiFlash should have done that for you, but I guess there's a chance it didn't.
To do a factory reset from Fastboot you can use a compatible version of TWRP and just boot into it (not installing it).
Eg. fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
From within TWRP you can then do a factory reset and see if it'll boot.
If it still boots into fastboot then you have the option of an alternative ROM. Xiaomi.eu provides a debloated version of the Chinese MIUI ROM. I'm running its latest 12.6 version and it has no problems with battery drain. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-23.61942/

Thanks i can try any solution. i install trought cmd fastboot comand twrp image file and after try to reset it? help me if you have other solution to I was hoping there was a way to bring it back to a stock firmware or a recovery firmware. I tried to flash all.bat inside firmware 12.5.1 my last firmware, proceeded it's fine and complete but after install my phone reboot continuos after logo. as if it didn't have a firmware installed.
P.s. Explain to me the procedure to start twrp without installing it step by step. Thanks so much ^^

To use TWRP to factory reset, first find a compatible TWRP. I used the latest version from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-mi-10t-mi-10t-pro-redmi-k30s-ultra.4187427/
which was TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
Boot into download mode
Then type this exactly (or change to a different file name if you're using a different version of TWRP):
fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
Once TWRP starts up, go into Advanced, Wipe.
Tick
- data
- cache
- dalvik (dalvik cache)
and select to wipe it.
Reboot system.
That should leave you with no account set up and enable you to boot and setup from scratch in most cases.

hELLO PL1992, i have use now MiFlash20210226 version installed for 1sec and nothing is installed, the mobile is in fastboot but I can't figure out how to complete the flash of the fastboot rom. I am using the latest EEA fastboot rom for my device, I have tried several versions even earlier but nothing. he says he has completed the procedure but in 1 sec he does absolutely nothing. Do you have solution ideas to try? alternatives to miflash? I also tried to install by extracting the Fastboot rom from inside the rom with flash all.bat, the procedure always go well, but the phone keeps restarting after the MIUI logo every 2sec. I have windows 10 pro i don't know if it is the problem

Did you execute the code given to you before you flash it?
In Mi-flash, click Driver, then install.
After it's done, reboot your PC.
Then do the
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
command.
The flashing process should be more than 500 seconds if it's done correctly.
The fastboot ROM should be extracted, not using directly the tgz file.
Rename the extracted folder name short, like "1", and put in C:/ drive.

It seems the ROM and your device is not matching, so it don't flash.
First confirm what your phone model is. The model should be written on the box came with the phone.
Install this program:
XiaomiADBFastbootTools (Java)
https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
It will need java SE, follow the FAQ guide in that github to use the program.
It should show you what phone you have.

Question Need help rooting the Poco F3

Hello fellow XDA'ers
I have waited and unlocked the phone, running the MIUI 12.5.1.0 (RKHEUXM) the EU Official Rom that came with the phone, and was following the guide on how to root from NaldoTech, but i'm stuck, magisk can't patch any Firmware file i throw at it...
Don't know what i am doing wrong, i opened the zip files manually looking for the boot.img file but i cant seem to find it in any of the Firmwares i download from XiaomiFirmwareUpdater.
Also tried downloading the rom file and extracting the contents using the xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator, but no luck with that either, throws some permission error at extracting the payload.bin
what can i do from here??
thanks in advance

Easy peasy
Steps
Download Adb and fastboot tool.
Or just download TWRP image and start CMD from there "the folder containing the twrp img" (in destination bar type cmd and press Enter) /the drivers should be installed and working properly ofc.
1- set phone in fastboot mode then plug it in to PC
2- Type: fastboot boot twrp.img (twrp here is the img file)
Then the phone will boot into twrp.
The phone will be shown in PC. Paste Magisk in the phone. Then go back and flash it using TWRP. Then reboot to system. And you're all done.

You're doing something wrong then.
Check all drivers are set up properly. Try flashing twrp then boot to it using Volume UP + Power button.

Make sure you download Nebrassy's twrp 3.5.10

Managed to do it, not with twrp tho, the way i intended originally, i found this payload extractor, went on miui and download latest package (on the phone), after that sent the file to pc and extracted the contents to the payload extractor tool, follow the tool's guide and Tadaaaa! got yoursef a boot.img.
after that was simple and follow the rest of the NaldoTech guide, which is sending the boot.img to phone, open magisk manager, click install, select the boot image to pach, wait couple seconds and done. After that just copy the magisk patched boot image to pc and turn off your phone, enter fastboot, and flash the boot.img in boot_a and boot_b.
and you are done boot the phone and open magisk app to see the installed confirmation

Right OK so I have downloaded the ZIP package and have also managed to extract the payload.bin file. See file contents in the attached image.

I think this is getting closer. I managed to install drivers as in the attached. Please take a look. 3 out of 4 have yellow triangles not sure if that means any issue. The 4th one appears only when I connect the device to laptop via a cable.

Only works on win10/11

OK. I still tried on Windows 7 and I got the attached. If I manage to change the slot from a to b using "https://www.droidwin.com/fix-failed-remote-slot-change-is-not-allowed-in-lock-state/", then will I loose any data? Again, I'm very keen to retrieve my data.

Thats sad :-( I'm looking for a solution to retain all my data in a situation where my device is just booting in loops (not reaching the home screen), developer option is disabled and USB debugging is also disabled. Please help.

All you can do is keep repeating reboot to recovery, normal reboot, reboot to bootloader, reboot to recovery, normal reboot, while praying and hoping that your phone boots up.

Question Stuck in bootloop Xiaomi 11T

Hello,
I tried to install a GSI rom on my phone, but I encountered a lot of problems, I couldn't erase the system because it said "system" partition was not found. So I tried many things like editing the partitions. But now, my phone is stuck in bootloop, and I can't enter recovery mode or fastboot mode.
Please help :/

Hi!
I struggled with this for a while as well but I found what works for me.
first, make sure you have the proper drivers installed ( just google MTK drivers and you'll find plenty of links for auto-installers ).
you gotta bypass the auth and flash with sp flash tool.
for the bypass:
I use MTK META Utility v75 ( again, google and you'll find it ).
click "disable Auth", then plug in your phone while holding volume up button. If it doesn't disable the BRom protection, you gotta use libusb to install the device filter.
Once the auth is disabled, use sp flash tool to flash the stock firmware.
first, in options, click connections, select the right comport.
in format, click the "format all except bootloader". VERY IMPORTANT YOU CLICK THIS.
next in download select the download agent and scatter file ( found inside the fastboot stock rom folder ).
Check everything EXCEPT PRELOADER and click download

if you do the whole bypass thingy it's gonna skip certain boot-checks which causes the loop, putting it in a different mode. from there, sp flash tool can access the device.
you can also just hold down the volume up button and then plug in the usb, 9/10 the bypass utillity will catch the BRom

So the BROM protection is now deactivated, but I can't find any COM port in the connection panel. And what is the fastboot stock rom folder ? I need to download the stock rom of Xiaomi 11T?

alright I'm guessing you'll first need to add the device filter for the port.
download libusb, run it and click add filter. while you have the phone in bypass mode, you should see a mediatek device in the list. add that one.
and yeah. but you can just download it from mi.com!

Soo... libusb wasn't working, but I figured out that I have like one minute to flash, during this time, it recognizes the com port etc...
First, it says "lib da not match" in download-agent, then in scatter-loading file it says "the scatter file contains an unsupported version"...

Hey,
My friend is trying to follow your reply in order to get her phone out of bootloop.
Not sure if you are aware but if you google for "MTK META Utility v75" as you instruct people to do... you get a wall of spam uploads which are zip files with passwords on... which gives the impression that basically every spammer wanting to get a virus onto your computer, or youtuber wanting to force you to watch their videos, is uploading crap marked as "MTK META Utility".
Perhaps you could actually provide links to trustworthy software or make a topic with a proper guide for people to follow, instead of just a reply to someone's question?
