Locking Motorola Bootloader
Relocking Motorola Bootloaders can be difficult.
Don't relock the bootloader if it was unlocked by any other method than Offical.
ReFlash Stock Firmware, Factory Reset, Reboot. and make sure everything is working correctly before relocking.
Current locking instructions - 27 April 2021
You can't relock the bootloader without the stock firmware!! - Jun 1, 2020
If the device was rooted, reflash stock firmware.
Your device likely uses fastbootd
[Guide] Flashing Motorola Firmware
After flashing Firmware, power up the phone to make sure it will boot.
If it starts up ok
return to bootloader and run
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Follow the instructions in your terminal's output.
You should see something like "signed system image required" which means you have to
Flash all system.img_sparsechunk.X parts a second time.
When finished run the lock command again and follow the instructions in your output line.
Continue until your bootloader is locked.
Other methods that have worked in the past
Run
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot bootloader
Check if bootloader says
Code:
flashing_locked
If the bootloader doesn't lock
You may need to try something like.
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
or
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
I saw the same thing on my end at first. Found this to work repeatedly....
fastboot oem lock (enter this a few times until i says something to the effect of...."you still need to flash a signed boot.img")
fastboot flash boot boot.img (this will now flash fine without saying the image is not signed)
fastboot oem lock (if you prefer to re-lock. You'll need the unlock key again if you plan to unlock).

Head on over to https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291 and download the tool, after installed put your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode and go through the rescue steps up until the firmware is downloaded, do not click rescue after the firmware is fully downloaded just head on over to C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles and open the downloaded firmware and take the boot image from there and copy it to your fastboot tools folder and flash that boot.img check that the firmware matches the version installed on your phone before flashing the boot.img.

Re-lock bootloader without OEM unlocking
It's been 7 days since I came back to stock already and OEM unlocking is still greyed out. Is there any way to force it true so I can relock bootloader? That happened when I first tried to unlock bootloader, but I could allow it in like 4 days If...

flash either stock or a stock-based rom along with Magisk and enable OEM unlock in the dev options and the you should be able to re-lock.

Magisk Hide must be enabled. Only this option hides the unlocked bootloader which results in an active toggle for the OEM Unlock option.

You have to remove the hashtags "#" from the code you get from the phone.
Remove the quotes "Part1" from the link below.
Code:
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/api/mse/bootLoaderVerifyPhone?serialNo="Part1"&secSerialNo=&processorUid="part4"&bootloaderHash="Part3"&infoOnly=N
There is a chance this could change with newer devices.
The 1st part should be 16 characters long.
The 4th part should be 32 characters long.
The 3rd part should be 40 characters long.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, a good unlock code will look like this. Mine is 19 characters long.
Code:
{"status_code":"0000","status_description":"Successful!","Boot_loader_unlock_code":"7*****************B"}
If it cannot be unlocked. It maybe something like.
Code:
{"status_code":"0020","status_description":"Either there are errors in input data or this device does not have bootloader lock code available yet.","Boot_loader_unlock_code":null}
if you see
Code:
{"status_code":"0003","status_description":"Processor UID cannot be empty!","Boot_loader_unlock_code":null}
the link is not correct, try creating the link again.

Trouble unlocking bootloader? try this! by jbtumbleson
Just copied from link below
Setting lock/unlock propertiesThe ro.oem_unlock_supported property should be set at build time based on whether the device supports flashing unlock.
If the device suppports flashing unlock, set ro.oem_unlock_supported to 1.
If the device doesn't support flashing unlock, set ro.oem_unlock_supported to 0.
If the device supports flashing unlock, then the bootloader should indicate the lock status by setting the kernel command line variable androidboot.flash.locked to 1 if locked or 0 if unlocked.
For devices that support dm-verity, use ro.boot.verifiedbootstate to set the value of ro.boot.flash.locked to 0; this unlocks the bootloader if the verified boot state is orange.

If you see this the Bootloader is still Locked
Code:

If you see this the bootloader is UnLocked
Code:

Why is OEM unlocking greyed out/ unavailable?
It's not unusual for OEM unlocking on Moto devices, to be greyed out.
You need to connect to wifi/LTE and it should be available in 3 or so days after that.

Yes, Locking Moto Bootloaders is a mess.
Locking is actually more likely to cause a bricked device than unlocking.
The only advice I can give is the following
Follow the instructions in your terminal's output.
You should see something like "signed system image required" which means you have to
Flash all system.img_sparsechunk.X parts a second time.

Thank you. Since all I really want to do is restore deleted text pics and data, Is there any other way you might recommend that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader?
I have also read an article suggested to install TWRP and that the bootloader doesnt have to be unlocked in order to do it. Therefore , enabling root like capabilities. Any thoughts on this?
And another article saying that the Tracfones will unlock after 12 months and 1 day of service?

Hi.
Recently I was interested in making a root for my device- LG G4 H815L(Israely version). So i started to explore about the difrences, and some guys told that there is a difference in the bootloader. BUT when I got my phone into bootloader the next massage was written:" *Welcome to Fastboot Mode for bootloader unlock:
Quick Guidance
1) Read Device ID : fastboot oem device-id
2) Write Unlock Key : fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
3) Check bootloader is unlocked : fastboot getwar unlocked"
As you see this is a guidance how to unlock the bootloader. Now Im in some dilemma because of it.
My questions are:
1. Can I unlock the bootloader?
2. What happens if i get to hard/soft break because of it (and what is the sulution if you know)?

Hello,
I'm planning to buy this device, specifically the XT1684 or XT1685 variant. Are these specfic variants supported and are there any culprits I should be aware of? For example, is there a possibility of me being locked out like with LG's G/V series devices? Or is the bootloader unlock procedure completely smooth?
thanks for the guide. I have just unlocked it.

I just flashed LOS17.1 yesterday and HOLY crap it's great. Good call.
Hi,
I am using my Nextbit Robin Oem Unlock from last 1 year but today i decided to go back to stock with locked Oem.
I flashed the stock rom and locked the Oem at the same time but when i restarted the phone it got stuck at the boot.
So I went ahead with the 'fastboot oem unlock' command, and here's the problem. All flashing command returns FAILED <remote: device is locked...>.
fastboot oem device-info reads: Device tampered: false, Device unlocked: false. So bootloader is locked. At this point I assume that the bootloader is unlocked, but revert back to locked after reboot (the phone automatically rebooted after executing oem unlock command, so can't get around that).
Tried numerous other methods, using different adb files, no dice. Can't even flash TWRP. Tried adb sideload, same. Tried executing fastboot oem unlock with various different parameter, still locked after reboot. I cannot flash anything into locked bootloader.
Google researched it for few hours, same problem happened to other phones from other manufacturers that came returned from warranty replacement with modified motherboard; OR tampered/broken eMMC/NAND flash. But no such case for Nextbit Robin (yet?).
Pretty hopeless right now since I just found out that Nextbit Robin support ended on Aug 1st.
Guess I'm stuck with locked bootloader and no cell signal phone. Unless someone can help. One can always hope.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

If you bootloader is unlocked I think you can give a try to the Nextbit's Unbrick Tool
As you want to go back to stock , I think this is a good idea.
Now if your bootloader isn't unlocked there is unfortunately nothing I can do for you , unless you unlock it .
Edit #1: If your bootloader is locked , go to bootloader mode by pressing volume down + power button for about 20 seconds and try to see the bootloader state with fastboot commands. If it is unlocked , follow the process in the @nextbitKhang's thread .
Yes that's the main issue. Oem is Locked.
Is there any Oem unlock code i can use to unlock from ADB?
I don't think so ,I'm not sure, but I hope you'll find one.
On your Robin go to settings > system > about phone > tap build number until it shows developer options.
Go into developer options which is in settings > system > developer options.
Make sure OEM unlocking is enabled. (for good measure disable then re-enable)
Also make sure usb debugging is enabled. Have the Robin plugged into a computer so you can enable to pop-up on Robin asking for access for the computer.
Once they are both enabled shut down your phone. Turn it back on while pressing vol down+power and plugged into your computer.
In adb run command fastboot oem unlock
please i'm experiencing the same issue not on nextbit but on GIonee.
i have re-activate both OEM unlocking and USB debugging several times but it all void

I also purchased 4 credits from dc-unlocker but for some unknown reason they refunded the payment and so not able to read the bootloader code.
Thanks for any comments!

Yes the first line says "phone locked"
That is bootloader.

Thanks, was expecting it but wasn't sure which one indicated it. Considering I am still on 5.1 / 7.0 and Feb security patch, would dc-unlocker with a 4 credits be able to read the code? Or it wouldn't help (even if it can read) in unlocking since "oem" commands are not being allowed?

Well only certain oem commands not work while phone locked.
I can't say why it did not give you a code. Maybe you missed a step on process.

All I did was put the phone in fastboot mode and connected to the PC. Before that I did enable OEM unlock in developer options but not sure if it had any effect on fastboot.
"fastboot devices" listed the device but none of the oem commands like "device-info" or "get-imei1" work (remote: Command not allowed). The bootloader code didn't work probably because dc-unlocker refunded me the money ($4.80) for some unknown reason and no credits available. When the bootloader read didn't work from HCU, I didn't notice the credit issue and was wondering whether I needed 15 credits (needed for the newer phones). Do you think 4 credits would do for my phone?
Just an update - I was able to unlock the bootloader with 4 credits following Wh1t3Rose guide. Dc-unlocker refunded the credits first time and that caused bootloder read to fail. Now have to get AT&T bands added, if possible... will start a new thread.
