Questions that say effectively "I have a problem" but don't say what exactly you've done to resolve it have no chance of being answered.
Start with fastboot. What did you do?

The answer is in the output. You must go into Settings > Developer Options and select "Enable OEM Unlock" before you can unlock the bootloader.

Can't you get into twrp and do a restore of made backup? Then after booting go to Developer Options and select "Enable OEM Unlock" then unlock the bootloader and leave it unlocked and leave the OEM Unlock setting in Developer options enabled.

im sorry to late phone is locked plz be fix and not open just google screen not work even after wip frm recvry

Do you have TWRP installed? If so, move a custom rom zip to the phone and flash it in TWRP. After that you can boot the phone and enable OEM unlock and proceed to unlock your phone (and then flash stock or whatever you would like to use). Your phone will be wiped (no way to save your data anyway, unless you have a previous backup), but it'll work.
If you only have stock recovery, you are out of luck and have a nice new desk ornament.

No, if he's on stock he can sideloade the N preview one OTA through ADB in stock recovery. Doesn't need fastboot for the OTA zip. The links somewhere here. After that he can enroll in the N preview program and then select the option to either unenroll or roll back I can't remember what it is. It will then push an OTA for the latest 6.0.1.

True... Didn't think of that. That's a good workaround until N is released.

Follow the Instructions on the devices screen to Unlock your BootLoader.
Enable the developer options screen by going to the settings, about screen and
clicking on build number at the bottom 7 times. Then go to developer options and
tick USB debugging so the procedure to continue.
If you get stuck on 'Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled' and have already
enabled USB debugging then just unplug/replug the usb cable and it should proceed.
IF NOTHING HAPPENS TRY PULLING DOWN THE NOTIFICATION SCREEN AT THE TOP LEFT WITH
THE DEVICE CONNECTED, THEN CLICK ON 'CONNECTED AS' AND CHANGE TO PTP MODE.
On Android 4.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging
for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc.
Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok' and everything should carry on as normal.
LASTLY BEFORE STARTING, LOOK IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS IF YOU NEED TO CHECK THE
'ENABLE/ALLOW OEM UNLOCKING' OPTION TO ALLOW THE DEVICE TO BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you ready to start? Type y[yes] or n[no]:y
Device detected in FASTBOOT MODE
Device Serial Number is: ZX1G4244LL
When prompted, Press the 'Volume up' button to highlight Yes on the screen, then
press the 'Power' button to select it and Unlock your Bootloader. If you are
already unlocked then this will just be skipped and your device will not be wiped.
ERROR: The device cannot be bootloader unlocked in its present state
You need to enable OEM Unlock in developer options in Developer options..
Once the device has rebooted to Android do this and the Unlock routine should work

any help

Ok... You need to stop trying to unlock your bootloader. You can't.
You have a couple of options:
1 - If you have TWRP recovery installed, flash a custom rom and you'll be good to go.
2 - If you do not have a custom recovery, try flashing the N OTA from here: http://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html. After that, go here https://www.google.com/android/beta and enroll and then unenroll your device. Soon after (up to a day, probably) you'll get an OTA for Marshmallow.
You might want to unlock your bootloader while you're in the N preview, so you won't have to go through this again...
Edit: Reading your post again I realised you probably don't have TWRP installed, since you wouldn't have gotten that far with an OTA in that case.

C:\android>adb sideload <ota-package>
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
C:\android>

thanx to replay
but not work with me cannot read update zip:crying:

I'm assuming you know the basics here, so I'm not going to go into much detail.
Before starting, make sure you have the ADB drivers installed and have ADB in a directory on the PC.
Rename the OTA file to something simple, e.g. n6ota.zip.
Go here and follow the steps, including the Option 2 instructions here to factory reset the device.
After the factory reset, enter recovery once again and make sure the recovery is set to adb sideload mode. If you don't have it set to this mode the OTA will not install.
Open a command prompt in the directory where ADB is located and type "adb sideload [filename.zip]", replacing filename.zip with the name of the OTA file. For example, using the name I gave above for the OTA file, the command would be "adb sideload n6ota.zip".

I am getting bad id on bootup. No issues afaik but can someone point out the cause of this?

You forgot 'WINDOWS PC"... or can it be done from Ubuntu?

@edilebe: Certainly you can:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
And then in a terminal:
To access adb :
Code:
adb devices
To access fastboot :
Code:
fastboot devices
Rest of the commands go on as usual.

Get also Bad Key on Bootscreen but its working

Will doing this disable OTA updates?

I apparently did some step wrong, Id: Bad Key shows on Bootscreen and I can't seem to install TWRP recovery, I get the following error
Code:
(bootloader) Image recovery failed validation
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
Also when I run ""fastboot getvar unlocked" I get:
Code:
(bootloader) unlocked: not found
getvar:unlocked FAILED (remote failure)
Maybe I put the wrong key, and now I can't try to unlock it again, what should I do?
I'll greatly appreciate some help

I tried to lock it again just in case, installed factory rom but got the same message.

I would also like to know the answer. Today I will receive a brand new G5S Plus.
If I unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, decrypt data, and install Magisk, will I still receive OTA updates (including in a few months Oreo)?

Installing TWRP will certainly prevent you from getting OTAs. Not sure whether simply unlocking the bootloader will disqualify you as well.

I like to have my phone rooted (for things like backup, adblocker).
Since the data partition has to be decrypted for TWRP and Magisk, would the following order make OTA possible?
Create backup
Uninstall Magisk
Flash stock bootloader
Reboot
Let OTA install do its work
Reinstall TWRP
Decrypt data partition
Reinstall Magisk
Restore data partition

You need original recovery for sure. Flashing bootloader alone is not sufficient. I believe you also need to lock the bootloader. What I do not know is whether you need signed images of bootloader and/or recovery. The firmware floating around here does not included signed images.

At the moment I am trying to create a backup of everything in the state directly after unlocking the bootloader.
I booted TWRP without flashing it, so I can create a backup. However, the backup freezes. I could create a backup of all partitions, except system. When I include system, the backup freezes. I tried three times. It froze at 13%, 21% and 1% (posted this here).

You don't need signed images, and you don't need a locked bootloader to install OTA.
Signed images are only necessary for locking bootloader. Nothing else should be concerned.
Locked bootloader is only necessary for passing SafetyNet. Alternative is using Magisk, which pretends to the verifying routine the bootloader would have been locked. Then you should pass SafetyNet again, until the checks SafetyNet do are modified. Then it fails, until Magisk is updated to circumvent these checks also ... it is a cat-and-mouse game, and the author of Magisk (topjohnwu) is a fast one. But there probably always will be times where neither PokemonGo nor Android Pay are running fine. If you want root (my personal belief is, if you own a device, you should have the right to access and modify all data on it), you need to deal with it.
OTA update checks some things (system, recovery, boot, oem, maybe some more) are not modified. Mounting system r/w may suffice to mark the partition as changed and prevent installation of OTA. Failed OTA usually reverts to previous state and gives an error message, then you may read the logs to see what went wrong. Your device stays in a usable state in most cases, at least that's my experience.
Disclaimer: I don't own a G5S Plus, but I'm usually recommending it if I'm asked which mobile is currently a good one to buy. What I write here is to the best of my knowledge applying to many Android, at least most Moto devices. Some behaviours may change when Oreo arrives. Always do a complete backup before any action, and don't forget to treat /data/media in a special way if using Nandroid in twrp.

I can't even unlock the bootloader...:crying:, let alone flashing twrp and rooting my device..... I have no idea where i am going wrong, i followed every step you mentioned. i tried running this command:
c:\adb>fastboot oem get_unlock_data
but it did not work, it showed me an error
---
FAILED < command write failed <No error>>
finished. total time: 0.003s
c:\adb>
Can anyone tell why is this happening? I must have done something wrong otherwise it would not happen.

Unable to unlock Bootloader
Phone is unable to boot and ends up on fastboot screen.
Phone has a locked oem. It says software as modified in fastboot screen. Unable to load bootloader.
While trying to get unlock oem data throws data block read error. What can be done? Is there an alternate way to to get device ID so as to get oem unlock code from Motorola website?
This happened all of a sudden. It was running stock, nothing ever altered.

[Superseded] Crossflash US Unlocked Pie to your Bootloader Unlocked V40

SUPERSEDED: Go Here​
Prerequisites:
V35 Engineering Bootloader flashed to your device (Stock bootloader will NOT work for this)
USB 2.0 (USB 3.x does not work well with ADB or Fastboot)
The V40 Pie Conversion Tool
Be in fastboot mode before attempting this
Patience
ADB and Fastboot DRIVERS. Platform tools are already included in the archive
Windows. The tool is not designed for Linux.
This will NOT sim unlock your phone[/CENTER]
Note: I'm not responsible for any bricks that come about from using this tool. Once you crossflash, there's NO going back unless you have backups of your partitions, or a KDZ specifically for your device. I'm going to say this again, DO NOT use USB 3.x while attempting this. You will run into errors. You won't see anything for a little bit when it gets to flashing system_a and vendor_a because it has to load those images into ram.
Download the tool: Google Drive
1. Download the archive and unzip the tool.
2. Navigate to the folder you unzipped the tool to.
3. Enter the folder and inside the folder you should find "V40PIECONVERSION.cmd". Ignore the one with the "Stock Boot" at the end. All it does is flash the stock boot image instead of the TWRP that is required to do this.
4. Execute the batch file and follow the instructions. When the batch file is done, Pie will be flashed, but it will not boot due to encryption. We're going to disable that.
5. Boot TWRP by performing a master reset. To perform a master reset: Press and hold Vol- and Power. When you see the "V40 ThinQ" logo release the power button and quickly press back down. Keep holding Vol- and Power until you see a factory reset screen. Finally, follow the prompts (yes) and you should be in TWRP.
TWRP Instructions​
Head over to the wipe menu and format data (to remove encryption).
Next, head over to mount and mount vendor. Mount ONLY vendor.
Now, open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where you extracted the tool, and open a command prompt inside the folder (Type "CMD" in File Explorer's Address Bar)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Execute the adb command:
Code:
adb pull /vendor/etc/fstab.judypn
Edit the file (fstab.judypn) in your favorite text editor and on the /data mountpoint change "forceencrypt" to "encryptable".
Save and Close the file and push the file back with the command:
Code:
adb push fstab.judypn /vendor/etc
Now that encryption is disabled, you NEED to flash back the ORIGINAL boot image that's included with the tool. In order to do that, we need to get back into fastboot.
To get back into fastboot, we need to: Make sure USB is still plugged into the phone. Press and hold VOL+ (Or vol up). Power off the phone (Via TWRP reboot menu) while still holding vol+. Keep holding VOL+ until you see download mode flash for a brief second and you should be in fastboot. The fastboot you see now isn't the V35 Engineering Bootloader. It's the stock pie bootloader. Wiping the laf_a partition allows access to fastboot on devices that are locked (Nearly all US Carriers).
Finally, run the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot_a.image
and
Code:
fastboot format userdata
You should run into an "encryption unsuccessful" screen. Just hit reset phone. You may have to reboot once or twice to get to the setup screen.
For those of you that want root, here's a patched Magisk boot image: Google Drive
You can flash it by running the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
Make sure you open a command prompt in the directory you downloaded the image in. If you don't have adb and fastboot in your environment path, just place it in the V40PIEConversion folder and flash it from there.

You are very welcome! Feel free to contact me if you run into any issues.
On the plus side, your b-slot is untouched throughout all of this, so you can use that to re-root or flash backups should something go wrong, or update. Enjoy the pie.

Hi guys,
I have a Sprint V40 bought off of Taobao that was rooted, sim unlocked, and crossflashed to US Cellular 11d but after I installed Pix3lify trying to get gestures on 8.1 I lost root. I don't seem to be able to get into fastboot, either with Vol- + cable or via adb, but I have an unlocked bootloader and I can get to download mode. Factory reset just reboots. Any tips as to how can I get root back, or upgrade to Pie? Can anybody please explain how to switch from slot a to slot b and vice versa?

There are some "globalised" china roms which are doing a decent job (with notifications sound fixed, chinese bloatware removed and google services installed), I recommend the one made by Francko76.
Also you can try all the treble stuff out there. I only tried two GSIs so far and I went back to Francko´s build.
Anyway I´m like you looking forward z6 pro dedicated custom roms.

Can you share a link to the Roms you mentioned ?
thanks

There are some "globalised" china roms which are doing a decent job (with notifications sound fixed, chinese bloatware removed and google services installed), I recommend the one made by Francko76.
Also you can try all the treble stuff out there. I only tried two GSIs so far and I went back to Francko´s build.
Anyway I´m like you looking forward z6 pro dedicated custom roms.

DISCLAIMER
As usual, you do anything described in this post at your own risk. No one but you is responsible for any data loss, bricking or damage of your device.
INSTALLATION:
Pre-Requirements
ADB means Android Debug Bridge, and it is software that you should always do have installed on your PC.
Pre-Requisite 1
Make sure that you have the drivers for your phone installed on your PC.
If not, you can download and install them from here
Pre-Requisite 2
You must also install: Minimal ADB & Fastboot, you can download the software
from here
Pre-Requisite 3
Your device needs this with unlocked bootloader
Pre-Requisite 4
Make sure you have enabled 'USB Debugging' and OEM Unlocking on your device
Settings -> Advanced settings -> Developer Options
PAY ATTENTION: If you do not see the Developer Options menu you need to do this:
Settings -> Device Info -> tap 6 or 7 times on the 'ZUI version' entry
A pop-up should appear, telling you 'now you are a developer'
And now, how to install:
1.Reboot phone to Fastboot mode (via adb -type adb reboot bootloader)
2.Download patched vbmeta and TWRP recovery
3.Extract it to folder with minimal adb and fastboot
4.Open cmd in this folder and type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
5.Then type fastboot reboot bootloader
6.Type fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.3.1_decrypt_works_by_alexeei.img
7.Press volume - and select Reboot recovery, then press power button
8.Enjoy
What worked:
All functions (may be if not, please say). Also TWRP now see exFAT microsd.
Thanks wzsx150 for it's TWRP for Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, some decrypt stuff taken from it.

Any idea?
Thanks

Restore stock bootloader?
Hello, I recently went through the whole process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP recovery and flashing ROM, and I am at version 11.0.350 ST ROW currently.
The ROM works fine, but now at every boot I am greeted by the "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. <snip> Press power button to pause boot/continue" notice.
According to google, it's apparently a result of the bootloader unlocking process.
I tried to lock the bootloader again using "fastboot flashing lock", but then the phone stopped booting normally. It got stuck at the boot logo (which I believe means bricked?).
It wouldn't work until I unlocked bootloader and reflash the ROM.
So what I want to ask is, is it possible at this time to restore the bootloader to stock to avoid that "boot loader unlocked" notice and possibly become eligible for warranty again?

The problem is your device is not providing the correct info, the first part should not be all zeros.
try reflashing firmware with LMSA.

October Security Patch

If Motorola unlock page show "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking",that means you need give up.
By the way if you just downgrade to 10 with official ROM,you just do it！No need unlock phone（in my experience with downgrade huawei P10）
