[Q][Solved] Relocking the bootloader

Hey guys,
I am currently trying to get my Moto X back to stock and relock the bootloader. Not because I need to, but just because I want to. I have a retDe XT1092 which I have converted to a XT1095. Is there any way to get the phone back to software status official and relock the bootloader? It doesn't matter to me that Motorola does know that I was unlocked before, I just want to relock it. I hope you guys can help me.

May I ask why you want to relock it? There really is no benefit to relocking it. :/
Anyway the command is:
fastboot oem lock

I know, but want to keep myself from flashing on this phone. I am trying to get away from rooting on non-nexus phones.
Yeah I've tried that multiple times, but as long as your software status isn't official the oem lock will fail. I'd guess this happens because most images you can download are not signed images.

Is your phone still converted to 1095? If so that is why lock wont work.
You would have to flash back the 1092 de image to be unmodified.

Okay good to know. I thought this wouldnt matter. But are there even any existing official images for the 1092?

These aren't official. I've already tried them. If you flash those you won't be able to relock the bootloader. This is the reason why I opened this thread because I don't know any way of accomplishing my goal.

One thing is official and other thing is carrier, and I think you need the firmware of your carrier, the one who came with your phone before the flashing. Maybe if you tell us we can find it for you.

I was able to get the signed firmware from motorola, You have to start with fastboot oem lock begin and then flash. After flashing you use the fastboot oem lock and the bootloader will relock, however, you will still get the unlocked warning message. You will have to flash the modified logo.bin to make it go away.

If you are so convinced that these are official I am willing to try them out but I am pretty sure they aren't

This doesn't sound right. Using oem unlock begin the phone will check if each and every image is signed. You shouldn't be able to flash a modified logo.bin and the message should actually go away by itself. Are you sure your relock attempt didn't fail?

I am 100% sure they are official because they are signed by motorola. If they were not official they wouldn't have motorola's signature.

I am currently downloading the XT1092 retDe image. I will report back in 6hours when I am back from work and this damn free download is finished. It takes forever..

The bootloader unlocked message would be a signed Motorola image since it is shipped with the phone. The bootloader essentially has a toggle that would switch between the normal and the unlocked message. I assume the toggle just doesn't get switched back when you OEM lock. It's not like he flashed a different custom logo or anything.

Correct. You will notice the status message when you enter the bootloader there is a status code. 1=LOCKED 2=RELOCKED and 3=UNLOCKED. Once you unlock the bootloader, you can never go back to status 1 again and you will always get the bootloader unlocked message. If you read the message it states that the bootloader HAS been unlocked. There is a counter trigger in the phone telling it how many times it has been unlocked. When I had my old Galaxy S2 Skyrocket I remembered a program that would "RESET" this counter, but I do not believe one exists for Motorola. Once you unlock your bootloader there is no going back.

Yeah I know about this relocked state, but it doesn't matter as I don't want to RMA the phone. I just want it locked but I wasn't able to accomplish a successful oem lock and I am now searching for a way to do so.
Edit: So this morning after the download had finished I brought my X to fastboot mode. And for whichever reason the software status was set to official even on the XT1095 image. I would have sworn that this wasn't the case when I flashed it and I have no idea why it changed. And a big thanks to you @AGISCI after typing "fastboot oem lock begin" I could flash the Image you linked here and software status stayed official and I was even able to relock the bootloader. So I simply must have had wrong images in the past, because I did entirely the same process I did now, 3 times already and it didn't work out at all.
So thanks again guys. The only annoyance is that I can't get rid of the bootloader unlocked message. This one seems to stay.

Relock Droid Turbo Bootloader

What's the process for going about it? I did do a search, but didn't find anything useful. Any help would be appreciated.
Reasoning: I'm going to be upgrading and turning in the phone, so it's time to put it back to factory.

1. Go back to stock everything by following section 0 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684
2. While in bootloader mode, use the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"
If you're turning in the phone to Verizon, this method is okay. However, don't do this if you plan on selling the phone to someone else. If they were to try and unlock the phone again, they would most likely brick it.

According to jcase relocking the bootloader it still shows a modified status code. Your warranty is permanently voided.

Are you on an Edge plan? Otherwise I don't know why you would be returning the phone to upgrade. Also not sure what their rules are on permanently modifying the software of one of these essentially "lease-to-own" devices, so might want to check the terms and conditions if this applies to you. If you are just trading it in for credit toward a new phone, I'd just sell it yourself unlocked and get a lot more for it.

A bootloader unlocked, rooted XT1254 would be more valuable to a buyer than one locked down. You've already done all the hard work.

Heya so I'm in a serious bind.
I skipped your step 1 and locked my bootloader. I have an unlocked bootloader. I recently upgraded through the normal verizon pushed update the marshmallow update. Anyhow. I now want to return the phone for an upgrade and well... I locked the bootloader. Then turn the phone off and turned it back on and it now says locked, but it says failed to validate system image. I then got freaked out and downloaded all the step 1 files and tried to flash the stock rom (which i already had installed!) and that doesn't seem to work. Did I brick my phone? Is there any way to get it working now that it is locked with any kind of android at all?

You're probably fine @droidfun1. You just need to use the marshmallow firmware package instead of the lollipop one. Get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/dr...-official-stock-firmware-6-0-1-mcg24-t3531571

Yup, I tried flashing the stock 6.0.1 rom with fastboot on my mac but I got all kinds of fails.
I found a mac compatible command line version of RSDLite and it totally worked! Not sure why fastboot couldn't successfully flash the same stock rom?
Now I just need to remove the bootloader unlocked warning (my phone is now locked status 2), but not sure if I can now that it is locked.

Strange. As far as I understand it, RSDlite just automates fastboot, so even if you're using RSDlite, you're actually using fastboot. Whatever works though.
As for the unlocked bootloader message, see my response to that post you made.

Bootloader unlock after relock

Just wanted to confirm from somebody that unlocking the bootloader after relocking it isn't a problem.
ie; Unlock > Relock (to recieve ota or go back to stock) > Unlock again at future time.
I know in the past with other phones, this could cause problems.

I haven't seen anyone actually re lock it. It fails unless you run the command a few times in the right order. You don't need to lock it again for anything. You can use RSDlite to flash the new firmware (whole package) using the servicefile instead of the flashfile and it won't wipe any data. Just like applying an update.

It's in the firmware package. When you extract it, RSDlite will will use one or the other. Flashfile wipes data, servicefile does not.

Thanks. Just got around to downloading it and I see what you mean. RSD just does a fastboot flash for you and if you use the servicefile, it omits the "fastboot erase userdata" command. I remember when RSD would boot to Motorola's own download mode similar to Samsung's and Odin. I see it just uses fastboot now.

None that I can confirm. They locked them with new methods.
Unlocking by official means will always work. Meaning meet the carriers criteria, like activating the device on their network for 60 days (each carrier is different) then requesting unlock.
I've heard of unlock services, but never needed to try so cannot confirm.

although you're asking in the totally wrong place I'll tell you this:
It's probably not possible. New phones are locked down tight. If it is possible, expensive equipment is probably needed. Your best bet is to see if there's an unlocking service on eBay. If there's not, it's a pretty good indication that it's not possible at the moment. If there is, it'll be pretty cheap and worth paying someone else to do. Now hit thanks for highjacking my thread.

Guide SIM UNLOCK T-MOBILE version all type of IMEI supported

I was trying to sim unlock bad IMEI (financed) all services refused to unlock I managed to sim unlock very easy
1 you need to convert to international version follow this thread By AnonymousTipster ( great thanks ) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 )
2 unlock bootloader
3 type this commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
thats all
you can also backup modemst1 and modemst2 files before this steps
you won't loose imei or have some problem phone works without any problem just tested

Congrats bro
Alright bro, I thought this was an early April fool's joke at first but it's apparently not. Congrats n sorry for the early doubts... I had just read your posts about trying a sim unlock thru some company and it being successful but the tmo app wasn't working so I figured that's where your sim got unlocked it had just carried over to the international version but apparently not. It's crazy that this is how easy it is to bootloader unlock & unlock your sim. Definitely backup your modemst with readback mode in msm

I can help you do what you need as I've done it before. pm me.

No guide ends with the user deleting their modem. I mean come on man dont mess with people. You've been all over the forum last few days with a stolen phone with a bad imei trying to get it unlocked.

1 phone is not stolen its financed ordered from ebay as unlocked I was scammed was not able to return from oversies
2 you can backup your modems and then try deleting with this commands they are not deleting I tryed 2 times
3 after blowfish confirmed that phone was unlocked opened unlock app > permanent unlock was receiving same error delleted app data same error factory reset - same error reflashed firmware same error after that this commands worked

all unlock services included blowfish unlock cellunlocker few one from ebay . tyed many of them they refunded money (blowfish returned credits to account) main reason wan device was not active 40 days this services can unlock bad imei phones but if device was not active 40 days they can't more than month I was trying to unlock but only this commands worked if you think you will loose modems to backup try this method
Download & Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone
Once it's open you'll be greeted with a command line prompt, in which you can enter text commands, the first thing you need to do is enable root access by entering this line (press the enter key on your on-screen keyboard after each command to issue it):
Code:
su
If this is the first time you've used Terminal Emulator a Superuser or SuperSU popup will appear, make sure you grant root access.
Now enter these two commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048

gigilie said:
Bro ur funny we use magisk n we don't dd modems thru terminal to back anything up.... Tell me technically what sense would it make to delete your modem how would that unlock your sim? See if u really did unlock ur sim n bootloader for free by flashing to international and then deleting ur modems (lol) then you would have put twrp on and actually rooted upgraded to beta 7 or flashed an aosp (at least that's what I'd assume cause that's what we unlock the bootloader for) so post some screenshots of whatever ROM ur on or a video of the process with u proving ur not lying. Cause as far as I know absolutely no information regarding the devices unlocked sim state reside in the modem. Imei in Efs maybe or on the board in the phone but not on a piece of a stock rom that some of the best developers on here just overlooked but u magically figured it out.... Quit it dude go home

Some people I know discovered this work around in November if u make a modemst back up of both modems first, use msm readback to backup imei, then wipe modem, then sim unlocked, restore modem files and imei with msm readback mode. It's just very risky. So if u know how to use msm readback mode and smt mode then go for this, @nika_bego you are correct. For the haters, grow up man, u are incorrect, this man is correct. There are multiple ways to do things in android. I was part of the initial team that first achieved root with this phone with a locked bootloader via aging kernel. Which then led to wiping the modems..we had to keep it between ourselves or chaos would erupt on xda. Plus the mods get so upset if u talk about hacks, modded apps, imei anything and restoring stuff.
Thanks, good job man

I don't believe this guy either. However it is actually true that converting the TMO variant to the International using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 will allow a simple
Code:

instead of having to go through OnePlus/TMO to get unlock.bin file.
Doing the conversion, then unlocking the bootloader, then rooting as normal. However I do not for one second believe that erasing the modem will unlock the SIM.
Edit: Looks like it might be possible to SIM unlock with this HOWEVER it requires MORE STEPS not only what is listed in the OP.

Recover IMEI?

Well I have been modding phones for a while, and I've been able to avoid anything this catastrophic so far, but yesterday while using Qfil, I clicked on erase entire flash.
So far I have recovered everything except my IMEI so my phone is not connected to my network. My question is can anyone help recover or restore my IMEI to my ATT Locked LG V40 with unlocked BL and Unlocked Rom?

probably my guess is a no, you can get those back by flashing a kdz or using qfil unbrick method see if they restore imei

Not long enough obviously, one of the first things suggested before flashing anything is to backup the IMEI partition, EFS for Samsung, to avoid having an expensive paper weight like the one in front of you..
Might need to find someone with a box now.

Really I've never heard that before...I only backup what's tickable in TWRP .-. I think IMEI might be one of those options...
