Hi, I have an moto g5s+ original (locked bootloader), but I'd like to remove the opertator apps without root changing. Can I flash a new rom retail in order to do that? In other words, changing firmware by fastboot or RSD needs unlocked bootloader? Thanks.

Most likely the bootloader will need to be unlocked, to flash different carrier firmware

Hey everyone, I just grabbed a Spain variant of the Moto X. The model number is XT1058. I did unlock the bootloader. However, i didn't flash a custom recovery or root the phone yet because I have a couple questions before I go any further..
1. Since the bootloader is unlocked now, will I still receive updates from Motorola/Google or would I have to re-lock the bootloader?
2. If I do flash a custom recovery and root, what roms can i flash...T-Mobile..ATT ..International..etc?
3. I am using the phone with ATT right now...I noticed the data icon goes from H, H+ to 4G....does 4G mean I am picking up ATT LTE?
4. If i wanted to re-lock the bootloader, am I able to with the fastboot command to re-lock it?
Thanks eveyone

Relocking your boot loader will not have any benefits, your warranty is void as soon as you unlock a retail version
You absolutely will receive the ota but you need to maintain the stock rom 100% as it was out of the box, flashing twrp recovery and rooting can easily be done but you will not be able to flash the ota successfully as it checks and requires stock recovery and a unroofed device, that being said you can reflash the stock recovery and unroot and then flash the ota.
Then all you would need to do is reflash twrp and superuser

Yes..you need to unlock boot loader first. I could be wrong....I'm not an rsd expert. Lol. Should say on that thread...first post.
You can root without unlocking, but you're limited in what you can still do.

no you can downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader. many people have done it. you just cant flash CWM or TWRP with a locked bootloader.
here check out this thread it shows two ways to flash back to 4.2.2 and even has a video you can watch hope it helps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
Hello, I am returning my Moto X back to motorola and had a few questions. I have the Tmo US xt1053 model that i've updated to 4.4.2, unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp and rooted. I want to return it to stock but there are no factory firmware images for the Tmobile US 4.4.2 and I would like to avoid bricking my phone. I was going to return to the stock recovery and then just factory reset it from the privacy menu but I am afraid to flash the stock recovery for fear of bricking it.
So my question is, can I flash the stock recovery found here: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/root-moto-x-install-cwm-recovery-complete-guide/ ? I can't seem to figure out if there are different recovery versions like there is bootloader versions and if I don't flash the correct one I'll brick something.
I know the bootloader was updated with 4.4.2 so I can't return to 4.4 but if I flash that stock recovery can I just use the factory restore option in the stock rom to remove all my data and root? I know the bootloader will still be unlocked but I highly doubt they will notice that since they never seem to check the bootloader unless its obviously unlocked.
Are you slow???
Turn your phone off then turn it back on and explain to me how you expect them not to notice your bootloader is unlocked?
Even if you used a different boot image to hide the warning, it shows that you're bootloader is unlocked in fastboot. I wouldn't bother hoping they don't notice, I'd hope they don't care.
MotoX Developer Edition went from German 4.4.2 to Great Britain 4.4.2 to T-Mobile 4.4.2 no problem. Fastboot FTW!
Did you read at all when you unlocked the bootloeader? Your warranty is voided. They do not need to have physical contact with your phone at all to determine it's voided.
Just for xt1053, you can downgrade firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.4, but just for this specific case, it doesn't mean it won't brick for other version.

I hope you didn't flash the bootloader for 4.4, if you did... enjoy your new paperweight

Relocking the bootloader and never locking the bootloader are completely different things. Good luck with that.

Turns out Motorola uses the QFuse system. While the bootloader will look perfectly "stock"/locked to you, Moto will be able to see that the secure boot fuse was blown, thus, re-locking your bootloader is effectively pointless.

It doesn't let you downgrade it regardless, so doesn't matter.
Also fastboot oem lock only work for developer version, and you have to go through the "fastboot oem lock begin" process: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
I don't think you can relock the regular version.

...Unless if you manually flash the files, in which the problem occurs
T-Mobile version is the same as the Dev, maybe the AT&T version is different
I have a rooted moto x with a unlocked bootloader. Im using cyanogem atm, but i would like to go to stock again.
I plan on installing a firmware, and i have some questions.
1- Will i lose root?
2- Do i need to unlock the bootloader again?
Thanks in advance
1. Yes but losing root is never a concern with an unlocked bootloader
2. No. Once it's unlocked, it's unlocked until you relock it.
3. Make sure you flash the same firmware or newer.
I have a moto x 2014 xt1097 phone and i like to gift it to someone so i wanted to relock the bootloader. but i am unable to relock the bootloader by the following cmd

I recently installed official marshmallow 6.0 on my verizon XT1096 from other variant like xt1092 after unlocking bootloader and now I also getting same error to re lock it. I was irritating by bootloader unlocked warning screen. If anyone knows please tell me also. But anyhow I got rid from that warning screen by installing logo.bin file in fastboot. By following this link.

To be able to relock it, you must be 100% stock. For example you would have to flash back the full 5.1verizon firmware.
But there is no point in locking it. Locking it does not restore the warrany, it was voided when you unlocked it.
Also it does not make the warning bootloader unlocked message disappear. That message will only disappear if you flash a different boot logo.
Honestly, there is not much point to relocking it.

Thanks Sir, I understood the point. But one thing to ask, can I flash back the stock 5.1 factory images of XT 1095 instead of Verizon. By following the factory restore instructions. Actually I want it be 100% pure stock XT1095, just like convert it and get clean OTA of 6.0 stock without any issue.
Because when I was installing 6.0 xt1092 stock on it I got some errors
Like failed check boot & recovery
shown in image below and I am doubtful it is not 100% pure because now when I connect it to my PC it still detect it as xt1096.
I am not rooted or custom recovery.
Please sir little bit more help.

No. It has to be the xt1096 firmware to lock the bootloader.
