I downgraded back to stock on my Moto g6 play, and I was wanting to relock my bootloader. Is there a way to do this, and how?

From my experience of years palying with moto phones only way is flashing the EXACT OFFICIAL FIRMWARE and even tho is not 100% reliable. I've never been able to relock a Motorola Bootloader once unlocked NEVER. Only cosmetic solution is to always flash Boot Logo everything you wipe sadly. YMMV

You can do it but there is no point. If you thinking relocking the bootloader will get passed a Moto service center and or sending it in will pass there warranty check your mistaken if you do a logcat and look through it you will eventually find in the logcat it says your warranty is void. Also requesting the unlock code and using it voids your warranty. each phone has a unique unlock code only made for that phone for it's bootloader. For example me and a friend have the same Moto g6 play but his bootloader unlock code is not the same as mine. Long explain short Your warranty is voided the second you unlock your bootloader it doesnt matter if you relock it. And you can't hide it from moto

Hello XDA Forums, wanted to know if I root my moto x has to take to get back after the warranty and leave no trace of root .. thanks
Depends. If you don't have a dev edition and unlock your bootloader. Warranty is void. Can't reverse that since you need to unlock it on their website.
If you don't unlock your bootloader, you can root with slap my Moto, but there's no root solution yet for 4.4.2. And could possibly not ever be. Technically that method voids your warranty too....but only if they discover you did it. I'm not an expert, cause I'm bootloader unlocked, but I think you can reverse this method. If your phone works and you are able to do it.
So basically , if you root any which way, you lose or risk your warranty.
Unless you have a dev edition, then you're golden.

I have not heard of that.
Besides the physical appearance, when it comes to the difference between the "Developer Edition" and Retail or Moto Maker edition, the only difference is unlocking the bootloader on the Dev Edition doesn't void the warranty, but on the "non-Dev" it does void the warranty.
For the most part, Motorola gives the bootloader unlock code away for free on their web site, along with the instructions to unlock. The exception being in the case of a few carriers like ATT, Verizon and Republic Wireless, where for what appears to be carrier requirements, they do NOT give out the code.
If you have ATT, VZW or Republic Wireless, and have an X built in 2014, see the China Middle Man is back thread in the general section about getting a bootloader unlock code from the only way possible at this time. But yes, it does void the warranty

thank you for your response I do know that the unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty but again I ask is there any way to JTAG in order to unlock for att or verizonhas anyone looked into that and how reliable are the Chinese middleman for unlocking the bootloader

I have seen NOTHING on using JTAG to unlock the bootloader on the Moto X.
Since its release, the only way to UNLOCK the Bootloader on the X has been to get the unlock code.
How reliable is the middle man? Just read that thread. If the build date on your phone is 2014, you will likely be able to get a code. The middle man doesn't have "real time access" to the database containing the unlock codes, so if your phone was built a week ago, you might have to wait. As long as you meet those conditions, you'll likely get your code. In cases where the middle man didn't have the code, he's refunded the money.

You might, but with an unlocked bootlaoder you can easily re-root at any time.
Is there any way to root the Moto X 2014 pure edition without unlocking the bootloader? I really want to keep my warranty on my device

Not sure if that is possible. But just as important of a question is: Will my warranty be voided on a Pure Edition if I unlock the bootloader?
I have seen posts of people who had no warranty issues with a PE and unlocked bootloader, but nothing official.
Hi guys i have the dev edition moto x. I rooted it and unlocked the bootlaoder, because i wanted to try out custom roms. i amtr now trying to put the phone back to stock. I followed the guide and i got the stock image back on the phone, but for some odd reason the bootloader wont get locked. I get sst lock failure in the command window. I need to send this phone back. any advice?
It's impossible to lock it again. If you have the pure edition you didn't lose your warranty anyway so don't worry.

Actually that does NOT put it back to locked. There are 3 bootloader states:
Locked
Unlocked
Relocked
Once you unlock it, it is impossible to go back to locked. He can only change it to "relocked" which anyone can see that it has been unlocked before. Try searching the forums more and you will see what I mean.

Relocked would be re-(LOCKED)
hence it is locked. Meaning that you can only flash signed images. You are right in the fact that people can see that it has be unlocked before. But when its relocked the bootloader is still locked.

... For warranty purposes "relocked" does not help. With relocked they WILL know that he unlocked it.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
For warranty purposes it does not matter when you have the pure edition. They have already said that its still covered under warranty.
In the first post he says he wants to lock it to send it back, but the point is that it does not matter and that they will know anyway.

Even if he never unlocked they would assume it has been unlocked anyway and if unlocking a Pure Edition would void the warranty (which it apparently doesn't) his warranty would already be void. When you put your ID string into the website to get the unlock code it very clearly tells you that once you click continue they update the device as unlocked in their records whether you actually unlock it or not because you asked them for the unlock code.
Well if he has dev edition moto x instead of pure edition then he probably needs to search OG moto x thread not the 2014 moto x
This is all irrelevant. Unlocking the bootloader on an XT1095 will not void the warranty per Motorola's website. Also per their website....requesting and have the unlock code for your device sent to you is the same as actually unlocking the device. In other words, they know what devices they sent out unlock codes for and as soon as they send that code they then assume that it was used and the device was unlocked. It does not matter if you decide not to use the code, if they sent it, then they consider it used on the device. They caution about that in the verbage that they want you to read before requesting the code. That of course does not apply to the Pure Edition (XT1095) since they consider that model a developers edition. So unless you have somehow damaged the device and it will no longer work properly, it really does not matter if the bootloader is unlocked or locked.
I have the Moto G6 Play boost mobile variant and i was wanting to relock the bootloader. I'm aware that it still voids the warranty but I'd like to lock it anyways. I tried going by a guide for the moto g6 but it didn't work; I may have done it wrong. Can someone explain how I can do this or refer me to a page where it's explained? Thanks

You're probably not going to be able to relock the bootloader. A few people have said they got it to work most saying that it does not work with this device.
