After following the bootloader unlock instructions to the letter, the message unlock unsuccessful appeared. Now when I boot up the phone, the unlocked bootloader warning message appears, but I have not been able to get a custom recovery flashed, or achieve root. I tried restarting the unlock process over and it says bootloader is already unlocked. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Heloooooo?

I am sorry, your post is not very coherent. You state that unlocking bootloader failed... however you also state that it says it is unlocked...
Could you please tell us what it is that you want? Because your bootloader is already unlocked... you can't open a door that is already open.

I relocked the bootloader but when i did , I got an error saying 'too many strings' or something
However, I restarted phone in bootloader and saw the status code (It was 2-bootloader status:Locked)
However i gave a 'oem lock' command again.
I get status 2-bootloader status:Locked, after relocking. (well thats ok) but i still see the bootloader unlocked warning.
I could Still flash the warning remover 'logo.bin' file
Now Im confused about whats happening! If my bootloader was locked then how could I get that warning? Rather , How could I ever flash a logo.bin file on my device?

It's no problem to unlock the device again. Just use the same code you received via email.
The bootloader-warning stays because even a relock does not restore warranty.
There's absolutely no reason to relock the device. As long as you are fully unrooted you will be able to install OTA even with unlocked bootloader.

You have to be unlocked for this. And just keep it unlocked. As I said, there's no point in relocking.

Interesting. Thanks for the input. learned somthing new..[emoji4]
I have a Nexus 6 that came rooted and with busybox.
how do I know if the bootloader has been unlocked?
You can't root it without unlocking the boot loader, so if its rooted then that's all the evidence you need

Also, as soon as you turn on the phone, the black screen with the white Google logo comes up, on the bottom of the screen should show and unlocked padlock. That also means your bootloader is unlocked.
do you see an open padlock on the bottom of the screen while booting? then it's unlocked. also, you can boot into the bootloader, itll say unlocked. but if you already havd root, its probably unlocked, or he relocked it. if you have root, you can use an app to re unlock it.

you are right, I see the padlock unlocked and the word "unlocked" on the bootloader screen.
thanks.
I'm coming from a Samsung device and have no idea how to flash roms on a Motorola device.
any suggestions you can give me?

I suggest you start with this, to learn adb fastboot and flashing.

If you run into the missing system.img problem here is the link to fix it:

Last question : is there anyway to change the icons colors and shape on the notification bar like wifi, signal etc?
Hi, some time ago I unlocked the titan's bootloader and re locked it, I tried rooting it again but I get Preflash validation, so i guess I need to unlock it again, wich makes no sense since everytime I boot up the warning shows up that the bootloader is unlocked, I have tried Motorola's website for unlocking the bootloader but my phone is ilegible anymore.
What can I do?
Thanks
Never mind, I was neglecting the spaces between the strings of numbers, I have got the unlock key already.

fastboot oem unlock XD
Just annoying to see, is there any way to remove that startup bootloader unlocked warning?
for now no way to remove this message , btw you can relock bootloader and unlock when needed that would help no need to always unlock

thats really good!! lock/unlock
thanks, I'm sure a solution will come in time.
Can you get to recovery and bootloader ECT as I can't just boots normally no matter what
I just dusted off my Turbo after not using it in a while. Shortly after powering it on, I was prompted for and without thinking, installed the ota MM update. I had previously unlocked bootloader via sunshine long before this, but never rooted. Is my bl still unlocked / root still possible or am I screwed?
It's still unlocked, if it was unlocked prior to the update.
And congratulations for having the foresight to unlock back when you could.
So that's what I was hoping, however I guess Im not clear as to what I need to do next to load twrp and root. I assumed all I'd need to do is pick up the official guide at section 2 in using adb / flashboot to flash twrp.img, but in trying to do so, I get an error "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed". I also noticed at the recovery mode screen it says "Device is LOCKED". Doesnt that mean the bootloader is in fact locked or is that unrelated?
Thanks!

@jcase, @TheSt33v, what's going on with this guy's phone? If he unlocked via Sunshine, should still be unlocked.

There is no bootloader lock command in the OTA. Myself and tons of others took the OTA with an unlocked bootloader. If the bootloader is locked after the OTA, either it was never unlocked or someone gave it the lock command using fastboot.

Depends on status code, either is wasn't unlocked or someone relocked it.
A number of ppl used mofo and has assumed they were unlocked

At the recovery screen where is said it was locked? I believe it was status code 0.

Recovery does the normally safe if locked or not.
Go check the status code, if it is 0 then it was never unlocked with sunshine

I did unlock using Sunshine... At least I really thought I did. I installed it, paid for it and ran through what I thought was the unlock process a few months ago. I didnt load twrp or root, but I didnt think that was needed before upgrading.
