Hi!
I'm from Brazil and I bought a Moto G6 XT1925-3.
I want to unlock bootloader but the option OEM Unlock is greyed out on Developer Options.
I tried RSD Lite with many firmware available on https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official but none worked.
Does someone have a tip?
Thanks!
I had the exact same problem. To fix it, I had to enable WiFi and get connected to the Interwebs. Wait a couple minutes to see if the option becomes available. If it does not, disable developer options, and re-enable it. That worked for me.

I already tried everything that is possible!
I flahed retail firmware through RSD Lite and nothing happens: allow oem unlock greyed out.
Maybe your OEM is already unlocked. Try running this command: fastboot oem device-info in fastboot and see what it says
Guys, it's true!
After some days the 'Allow OEM Unlock' option became enable!
I did nothing! It's a matter of time, considered as a security measure.
That's it!

Still waiting here. How much time did you wait?
You can also try to delete user 999 and oem option should reflect under dev option.

What do you mean? Please explain
You need to connect your mobile to wifi and follow steps for date change to year back.
Then look for software update. This would resolve it.
Here is the reference;
Hope it helps.

Thanks for replying, but this didn't work. I tried one year, one month, 7 days before and after and it still is grayed out :crying:
@mrsiri Are you trying to unlock the bootloader or is it already unlocked?

Trying to unlock it. I locked it by mistake and now need to wait 7 days for the OEM Unlock button in developer settings to be enabled. It could also be locked forever ( Is it possible?) but then there's no hope for me.
Edit: I can also boot the stock room boot.img image but that doesn't help with the OEM Unlock button. it is still grayed out. What I could do is boot a magisk patched image to get root, but by doing this all my phone did was reboot twice and forcing me to factory reset and then use the old regular non patched boot image that I'm currently using. My current flashed boot image has verity mode off, in case that could help into anything.
Thanks in advance for replying

Your bootloader seems to be unlocked. It is not possible to flash another boot.img with a locked bootloader. What else should be the purpose of a unlocked bootloader?? This is the prerequisite to flash a ROM or a twrp.img

What exactly is the text right under the toggle to turn on the OEM unlocking option?

The text is "connect to the internet or contact your carrier". I didn't flash the boot.img, but booted it. Like when you boot TWRP, but in this case it was the original stock boot.img
My bootloader says "flashing_locked", so it is not fully unlocked. And I can't unlock it without enabling the "OEM Unlock" Button ?
Yes, you have to wait.

In the end I sent my device to a repair service. Thanks for the help, but I can't rely on waiting 7 days and assuming the button will re-enable itself. I need it fixed as soon as possible.
I think that was a very bad idea! Since four days you are waiting for that button become active and there are only three days left. Do you really think a repair station will send it back in three days?? This button becomes active by itself in three days and after that they will send it back to you and earn the money for nothing!

Maybe you're right. But you have no idea all what was done in my phone. I really don't think that button was ever going to change. I'll actually be surprised if they can fix it without replacing parts. That's why I think this time it's better if the professionals take care of it, and I'll get the phone Thursday with the guarantee it will be fixed ( Motorola service is taking care of it)

The repair service couldn't fix the problem so I wasn't charged for it.

This time I'll wait the 7 days.

Ooooh... That's tough. The only place I've heard of any kind of fix is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/relock-bootloader-time-updating-to-5-1-t3053497
But, I don't think your situation applies... You're probably SOL.
There's no fix. You can try fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata. If that doesn't work, there's no fix.

I wouldn't yet. Someone may eventually find a fix. But yes, you're going to need a new phone in the meantime.
Just a random thought; so what is covered by warranty? Say an internal connection was to get detached and the phone just won't power up, I think that would probably be something they may honor and replace the phone. I would not go back to the same place you tried to have it fixed, I would contact Motorola direct.
Again just a thought without thinking through all the scenarios nor with any thought of the morality of it.

He probably locked the bootloader and had oem-unlock disabled in developer options, and now he can`t flash anything and the phone has no OS.

"Hello Ms. Motorola, yes my mother called earlier today, she thought my N6 was in some sort of loop or something, man you know how moms can be. It just won't turn on, I have no idea why, I just know it was working great 1 minute and now, nothing. OK, where do I send it? Thanks"
The crap part would be if someone finds a fix after the phone is damaged. But, before you do anything, make the call.
I see many many threads regarding how to get free tethering, so I don't feel this is too out of place. Again, everyone has to work out for themselves whats right for them.

I'm thinking abt getting a n6. Can u elaborate a little more? Wouldn't "unlocked disabled" mean locked, so that phrase would mean the same as a locked bootloader which he did?

Since 5.1, you need "enable OEM unlock" set in settings to unlock the bootloader. If it is not set, you cannot unlock the bootloader. It only stays set until you boot up.
So some people update then immediately lock the bootloader. Then their phone won't boot so they cannot set "enable OEM unlock" so they're screwed.

You have to enable oem-unlock after every boot, it will not stick after a reboot.

No. The "enable OEM unlock" setting allows you to boot to the bootloader, connect to a pc and use the "fastboot oem unlock" command to unlock the bootloader.

Is this the same with aosp ROMs?
What happens if I forget to check it after a reboot? Like if my ROM does a random reboot and I don't know about it

I think we're confusing the issue. It doesn't need to stay ticked. All it stops you doing is unlocking the bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, its unlocked.
The only reason you'll need to tick it is if you relocked the bootloader and then wanted to unlock it again. But this is dangerous because if your ROM breaks and you're locked, you cannot then unlock.

With OTA should be fine.. If something goes wrong during ota thats covered by warranty, but i was impatient to wait for it, so i did for my self over USB thats not covered by warranty like when u **** up something with root permissions.. This method is not the original updating method. but its a bit confusing because this was an official google suggested method (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) Terms of use, i accepted hurray!
"Send it in for repair mate, off course its fixable in a servicecenter but not by us consumers."
I did it and they cant repair it.. No way to access to that software part
Hi there,
So I just bought a brand new N6.
Did nothing to it, did not unklock the bootloader, di not flash anything.
Just ran it a first time, set my account, donwloaded the 5.1 OTA when proposed to and then it was over.
After the OTA installation my phone displayed a dead android and "Error".
When rebooting my phone, the apps are "optimizing" undefinitely and then the phone will restart.
I tried factory reset from recovery, that did nothing, I mean, the phone will still bootloop endlessly.
My bootloader is not unlocked so I cannot flash my phone..
Is there anything I can do ?
Thank you in advance

Well, since you haven't enabled OEM unlock, there's not much you can do besides RMA at this point.

unfortunately, that might have been your only option. as you need to boot up first, to enable unlocking of your bootloader, to reflash the factory image. and you cant boot up

id get the phone refurbished, from google or from motorola, since it wasnt anything that you did, but was the updates fault. btw, that happens, very rarely, but it does happen that updates can cause issues.

One last question, since my phone won't stop rebooting endlessly is there any way to turn it off ? Long press on power does not do anythng, it will stil restart...
Edit: I found how to turn it off through bootloader.

Sorry to come back on this thread.
So now I have noticed that when in fastboot, if I type "fastboot oem unlock" I'm getting the popup proposing to unlock bootloader.
As I never selected USB debugging nor enabled developper option when my phone was working, I doubt it would work properly.
Would I have any chance to recover my phone if choosing to unlock the bootloader ?

yes! if you can unlock the bootloader, then you can flash the factory image via fastboot while youre in your bootloader. which would fix you not booting

grab a factory image, and read directions for flashing a factory image. you want to flash each individual file inside separately, instead of using the flash-all script.

(Although it's a bit strange that I was able to unlock bootloader without usb debbugging mode enabled no ?)
This is very interesting indeed. To the OP, where did you purchase the device? I find it very peculiar that you were able to issue the OEM unlock command without using the toggle in settings.
I had rooted my H811 but ive had problems with my phone contacted T-Mobile and they are going to replace my phone but i had flashed the 81110n kdz i got no unlocked bootloader warning but once it updated to 20i the warning came back is there any way to relock the bootloader or pull the warning help plz
Doubt it will even matter

To lock the bootloader back is as simple as unlocking it, just follow the next steps and you'll be good to go :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader [b] (this reboots to bootloader)[/b]
fastboot oem lock[B] (this wipes all data)[/B]
P.S. This process may or will erase ALL DATA from Internal Storage.

So I kept trying to do the freezer trick over and over again until I noticed that it actually had to be in the freezer the 20 mins just to start!! If it did not it would not boot at all. It was not a battery problem, it just stopped unless it was cold. I took a chance on sending it in since it was warrantied still, and crossed my fingers that they would not do the freezer trick at the factory. They did not and a few days later I checked and it was in their repair qwe. Keeping my fingers crossed until I saw that the resolution was "Replace motherboard" Reason "bent motherboard". I know the bent mobo was BS. But hey what ever it took right? A few days later it was in the mail and my son has been using it perfectly well since then with that same battery and another he purchased! They did take the protective glass screen saver off for some reason. So Bonus a practically new phone and I still got some warranty left until Oct of this year!

I bought it unlocked, it turned out to be one of the models with the bad motherboard. The previous owner directed me to here so I could re-lock the boot loader. I got to the window several times but it would not stay long enough for me to try re-locking it. That's why it was nice that the phone's mobo was bad enough that it just stopped booting up! I took a chance. If it had booted and they would have seen the un-locked BL they could have told me tough luck. But I have read in many forums that LG is pretty good about this issue with the bad models. So it's a roll of the dice and lucky for me either the phone did not boot up for the Tech who handled my phone, or he saw what was going on and went ahead and switched out the mobo despite seeing the first screen screaming "unlocked bootloader!"

i have heard some complaint from other users that theirs were denied. not unlocked, but he assumes they LG tought it was unlocked because he says that when you request unlock.bin you must place your imei or serial number so they have it on record....
so you planing on unlocking this ?? HAHA if you do. i would like to see someone post a video or relocking and that it works..
No I will not be unlocking it. My son has the phone and wants to keep it locked in case. Like I said he is still under warranty.

To lock the bootloader back is as simple as unlocking it, just follow the next steps and you'll be good to go :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader [b] (this reboots to bootloader)[/b]
fastboot oem lock[B] (this wipes all data)[/B]
P.S. This process may or will erase ALL DATA from Internal Storage.

This process will remove my all data like Images, Video, contacts etc.... or will wipe out my complete phone including OS files??
Just noticed that its default is greyed out on ON setting on 7.0.
I participated in the test build program thingy and did a fresh flash of stock before hand.
And i'm now on default 7.0 NBD90Z.
Did they drop this setting all together now??

Apparently. And I'm very happy with this, because it was Google's most stupid idea ever. In no way was the risk of bricking your phone with an OTA (a rather high risk, unfortuantely) worth the benefit, that a thief would throw your phone in the garbage, because it's useless for him.
Yeah very bad things happen if you "accidentally" hit that relock button.....
My BL was unlocked on MM but when ota to N the OEM thingy is now greyed on Disabled.
Checked in bootloader mode still shows Unlocked.
Any biggie?

To be more precise. When I was bl unlocked on MM I kept the Dev option menu off. When dev options menu is off the OEM switch will slide to disable. It was in this situation that I OTA to release N
Any advice?

It is PURELY a COSMETIC change.
When the bootloader IS unlocked, they disable the button to ENABLE unlocking.
Even if they didn't disable the button, it wouldn't actually make a difference, since IT NEVER CAUSED THE BOOTLOADER TO LOCK TO BEGIN WITH!!!! You would STILL have to go to fastboot and "fastboot oem lock" or "fastboot flashing lock" the thing, which CANNOT be disabled by that button.
All that button EVER did, was ENABLE the UNLOCK process.

I am reading this and decided to have a look-see. Mine is grayed out too, but in the off position. I am unlocked, rooted, stock otherwise.
Hi,
I've just semi killed my XT1965-2.
I've unlocked Bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [unlock_code]
and flashed Magisk with
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
and worked fine. But, some months later, I've decided to remove Magisk and at the same time downgrade Android from 10 to 9.
Following the commands listed in this site, after it booted into Google Wizard, I thought it worked and then I rebooted to fastboot again and relocked the Bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem lock
, after that I realized that the command for flashing the wi-fi module was missing.
So what happened was that I have a phone that boots up but won't find any wi-fi network or mobile data to connect and it won't bypass as I have my Google Account activate no the device.
In searchs I've found this and, as I cannot flash any partition as I have my Bootloader locked, I've thought I could boot via
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
and try to bypass the Google Wizard via adb, but no success.
The question is: is there another way a could use to access the OS to allow unlock bootloader again?
Via command that I'm missing or even adding the missing bluetooth modulo to the boot.img and making it available to the device and I can access the internet and log in the my account.
I hope I'm being clear enough.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
first of all I'd like to thank for the answer.
Using LMSA was my fist try to rescue the phone. It won't work, I get some kind of error saying I'm choosing the wrong model but I'm not.
I also tryed to use Motorola's RSD with no success.
Because of this I was looking for another solution.
Any way, thanks again!

It won't allow. It asks to enable OEM Unlock under Settings -> Developer Options.

Just out of curiosity, why in the world would you relock your bootloader. That serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and as you have found out, can cause a myriad of issues. There is nothing to be gained by relocking the bootloader. PERIOD!

Well, so your phone boots and everything, you only need to flash a newer build, go to https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/lake/, and find the newest build for your variant and flash it manually, after that you can boot your phone and unlock the bootloader again to do the downgrade correctly

If you dont know how to flash it manually, just tell me your variant and ill do a script to flash all the files

Okay, I didn't take it to the next step and offer him a solution. You are correct it was very inconsiderate. But at the same time, what I said is true. It appeared that it was when he tried relocking his boot loader that he ran into a problem. And there is no reason to relock the bootloader.

Unfortunately I had to find out in the worse way. But I really didn't need to keep the bootloader unlocked as some banking apps just won't work this way and I needed to root for a unique propurse that was to access a sqlite database file.

My device is Motorola Moto G7 Plus, XT1965-2.
I really, really appreciate your help.
I put myself at disposal for further information.
Thanks a lot.
PS: I've found some tools called Android Image Kitchen that could unpack and repack the boot image then I can boot it with
Code:
fastboot boot unsigned_new.img
but I don't know how to add the BTFM.bin to the extracted folders, and then repack, in a way that the device may recognize them.

I see. If I only had a way to connect to the internet and log in with my google account I think the problem would be solved.
But I cannot find a way to do so.
I already tried to put BTFM.bin in every folder and repacking using AIK, it boots up, but the system won't recognize the module.
I also tried using an ethernet and a wifi OTG without success as it should be enable in Developer Options.
Thanks anyway!

well if you want to connect to internet from PC to your android by USB you just have to use this tool and enable the OEM Unlock option
https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
I had a similar problem downloading the version of my Revvlry+ = Moto G7 Plus XT1965-T and then OEM was disabled and internet and baseband modem stopped working because I downgraded too low and with this tool I managed to recover.
but everywhere in the web I am looking for the way to restore the status of my device because in Bootloader Mode it says: flashing_locked. instead of telling me: oem_locked
and you can't remove the warning that appears every time I turn it on

Hi, darkherman,
thank you for you reply.
Unfortunately it won't work as according to documentation: "Make sure you enabled adb debugging on your device(s)."
I have to boot the system to enable it in Developer Options.
Thanks anyway!
Is there a way to bypass the Google Wizard and boot the system without logging in?
About the warning on startup I've read somewhere that's not possible because of some var value obtained from:
Code:
fastboot getvar allCODE]
Don't remember exactly what var, but its value may be 0, 1 or 2 that means locked, unlocked and relocked (not necessarily in this order)
-- runnig the above command I saw some variables such as securestate, verity-state and iswarrantyvoid than may mean something.
But, as far as I know, we have no command such as "set-iswarrantyvoid false" or "set-verity-state 1" or something like that.
Maybe this could be done by replacing/updating the firmware if possible, but I think it doesn't worth the risk of making the device irreversibly bricked.
Thanks again for your reply.
It seem there's no way to rescue it.
Gonna just give up and throw it away.
Thanks for those who tried to help!

Hi,
I've just semi killed my XT1965-2.....
This would be my last resort:
Might have to open it up and short the test points to get qloader edl mode to be recogized because I believe a blank flash.zip method will bypass from your sd card will reflash your device with an unlocked bootloader so you have fastboot access to flash firmware... I could do this but its not the best advice if you never have took apart a phone or know about test point shorting to emergancy mode.... Or If it is an unlocked no carrier phone buy you another just like it somewhere with an easy return policy and buy extra coverage for damage....Break the screen or whatever so it wont power up the return it and demand your money back... You would be out the price of the extended warranty...

Hi, thank you for your reply!
I really never have took apart a phone nor know about test point shorting so this is not an option for me. I could even try to do it but probably won't be able to mount it back.
It's a no carrier phone, but in my country, there's no so easy return policy that I know of, unfortunately.
The bypass won't work because the second pass, "Connect your Motorola Moto G7 Plus to your Wi-Fi", as I think this is the biggest problem, I cannot connect to Wi-Fi. I also tried the method suggested by @darkherman throught gnirehtet with no success.
