[HELP] Can't relock bootloader - Moto G5S Questions & Answers

So I've installed a custom ROM in a Moto G5s because was rebooting and lagging all time (sometimes reboot several times after start). But after the experience of a custom ROM, the problems persisted, so I decided return to the original firmware.
The thing is that I reinstalled the stock firm with CMD & fastboot, but I was not be able to unlock the bootloader (despite I used neccesary comands like fastboot oem fb_mode_set fastboot oem lock begin fastboot oem fb_mode_clear fastboot oem lock repeated times). So I download motorola RSD tool and flash it with it. The process was succesfull, but my bootloader still was unlocked.
What should I do? I missed any step?
Thanks

Stuck in bootloader –*not able to flash anything.

Hello and merry christmas.
I wanted to flash my BQ M5 with the new firmware 5.1.1 and now i'm stuck in bootloader with no way out?
To shorten it up: I did a fastboot flash sec sec.dat because i thought that this would fix things.
After a reboot-bootloader i ended up on a Fastboot-screen with a Linux Penguin in the middle. (i never had this before)
now any flash command suddenly ends in FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)
(flash-commands worked before with a unlocked bootloader)
but re-unlocking the bootloader with
fastboot oem unlock-go ends in FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
(This worked before after enabling OEM-unlock in the Developer options.)
Robooting brings it directly to the penguin-bootloader with no possibility to flash anything(?) or to unlock(?)
Is it now totally bricked?
Thanks for any advice!!

That is RUU mode. Flash the firmware now (twice).
Since you weren't in RUU mode before, the firmware would have just failed to flash, which means nothing changed, no harm done.

Booting into Recovery Automatically!

I unlocked my bootloader. Installed TWRP and when I was on stock I updated my moto z play to 7.1.1. I know never update through OTA when custom recovery is installed. But I didn't know that earlier. Device got rebooted and directly booted into TWRP and nothing happened. I then rebooted to bootloader and started the device and it booted up!
The problem is each time the phone is rebooted it goes into recovery and i have to reboot it to bootloader to start!
How can I solve this?
I'm currently on Resurrection remix Rom!
Thanks!
Fastboot command
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

I'll try this tomorrow.
Will update after I'm done!
Got the same problem - unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, did dual sim mod for a friend and then the "idiot" did an ota - now phone is stuck into booting to TWRP.
I tried the fastboot commands and they went through fine, but phone is still only booting into twrp - with fastboot and "start" its booting up though.
There must still be some "do-ota" flag enabled somewhere.. ?!

EDIT: ok well **** it - after i booted it up once normal over the fastboot start it boots normal again!
+1 with same problem.

Can you give some more details on how you managed to fix it?
I have the same problem was on stock with root and tried OTA :silly:
These fastboot commands don't work for me, does anyone have another solution?

Perfect !!!
After flashing the android 8 version, my phone could not start normally (directly into the bootloader.)
The command lines saved my Moto lol ?
Thank you very much !

Moto Z Play reboot on TWRP instead of ROM (if I don't go by fastboot before booting)

Hi there,
I've got a problem with my Moto Z Play. It is unlocked with lastest unofficial TWRP, bootloader unlocked and running lastest Lineage OS ROM.
I already checked these type of threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/booting-recovery-automatically-t3654698$
which gives a solution (doing some fastboot commands) but it doesn't work for me.
So I tried to do this in fastboot mode
" adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot "
But it didn't change anything. I need to boot on fastboot mode and then push power button while selecting start to get it runs on ROM.
Is anyone has a solution?

I faced the same issue ... Tried many things but simple solution worked like a charm
Flash twrp ... Re boot phone ... Don't boot to system instead boot to recovery ..then shutdown from recovery ... That's it twrp is permeant and phone boots to system normally
Tried this but still boots to recovery. Thanks for the idea.

Nexus 5X stuck in bootup

Hi,
I have a Nexus 5X that was on the latest 8.1 firmware, and I successfully downgraded to the latest 6.0.1 firmware by unlocking the device and flashing everything separately. Here's what I did
Enable OEM unlock in Developer settings
Reboot to boot loader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock (had to do this cos after rebooting, device is locked again)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recover recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
After this, I get the "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly" boot up message, but continue anyway, after which the device boots up and I set up the new device as per normal.
Then, I tried to flash TWRP in order to install Magisk. It is during this step that the device is stuck in the bootup process with the 4 colorful circles. Here's what I did
Reboot to boot loader
fastboot flash recover twrp-recovery.img
Reboot to recovery to check TWRP has been installed (it has)
Reboot to system (stuck in bootup!)
How can I get it to boot up again?
I ended up waiting for the battery to drain and the device to shutdown.
