Hey people was on pie roms but prefer vanilla
eventually found a stock rom to get me back but want to relock bootloader usually on most phones i had you just flash stock rom and job done but not for this i am on a european version of the sanders model. Has anybody a european rom with signed bootloader i can flash
Join telegram discussion group there are several guide's to relock bootloader. But in my opinion don't relock bootloader as because many people facing so many problems while relocking their phones bootloader.

I've been using motorola defy before I bought my xz. The whole world knows about motorola and their bootloader policies. They arent customer friendly and now google has upper hand over motorola. The 2010 motorola devices like moto defy which I was using before is stuck with a locked bl. With the locked bootloader, we used 2ndboot, 2nd init and stuffs which exactly made us use custom kernels
Custom kernels with locked bls!!
So I feel its possible to use all the non stock roms with locked bl.
Link of cm10.2 for moto defy which uses 2nd init, 2nd boot with custom kernels

Any comments?

Just read the stickies. This is nothing like the Defy in terms of the bootloader regime.

There is nothing in the stickies about the discussion in this thread and defy has a locked bl, people are using cm,aokp on it.

Nope, unfortunately all carrier branded Xperias 2012 onwards are permanently bootloader locked. I'm not very familiar with the method you mentioned but I think I've heard of it before, sounds like kexec. To answer your questions, none of the devs here are willing to invest the amount of time it would take to be able to get a system like that working because they all have unlock-able devices as it is so they have no need for it
In short, as it stands non-unlockable bootloader, no custom kernel, no CM, AOKP, PA, MIUI. Sorry
I remember they unlocked the bootloader of the Xperia X10 backnin the day. I remember it was not that safe. One wrong flash and you could hard brick your device (did you brick your Defy that way). Unlike current official unlocking methods, today is very very hard to brick a device.

Its tuff to brick defy cos it has locked bl. Moto devices had efuse command on the bl that anyone tries to unlock it, hack it, mess with it or somethin, you hard brick it! And defy has fastboot locked or devs there are in a great doubt whether if its even there in that device.. the bl is very very strong.non unlockable...

There used to be 2nd boot , from there we can choose the boot methods like 2nd boot or 2nd init, and one thing..those devs are one rockin devs. Quarx and epsylon..they ve gone from eclair (2.1) to jb (4.3) !!. Patched hundreds in linux kernels and stuffs so that they can make it work..

All bootloader lock/unlock status with Xperia Z is tied up with TA partition. Any attempt to mess with it results in a hard-brick. Sorry guys

So if I root and install Custom 5.0 will I be able to get back to 4.4.4 afterwords

If it's a custom rom, you can... Cause you won't be updating the bootloader.
But once you update to official 5.0 when it's released, if things stay as they have been.... You will not be able to downgrade after without risking a brick.

How can I get root?
well i wanted to do the same as you. after unlocking the bootloader i wanted to root the phone but used a tut for an older version of android. I got in a bootloop and i fixed it by flashing original .img files on the device. Then i was running on 5.0 lollipop. So if you really really want that root acces, i would say downgrade your android version after unlocking the bootloader and then flash the files from motorola. Then follow a tutorial for android 5.0 for XT1092
Hello everyone. I just wanted to know if Android One First-Gen phones have unlocked bootloaders cos I am going to root my QMobile A1 and install a recovery on it to flash a Nougat ROM later on. If it's locked then how can I unlock it? Thanks for helping!

Use the techniques in this post -- but of course you want Droid Turbo 4.4.4 firmware, which you can download from many, many locations.
How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077
or this. Same guy, @Jaocagomez:
[Tutorial] How to Flash Different Official Firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/tutorial-how-to-flash-official-firmware-t3074724
FIRST, you need an unlocked bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then you need to buy/use Sunshine.
These instructions work for all Moto phones with unlocked bootloaders. (He says it's not for the Droid Turbo 2, because their bootloader was never unlocked. In the 2nd thread he says it's not for the Droid Turbo, but he wrote that before the Droid Turbo was unlocked.)
@Jaocagomez previously owned a Quark then moved on to Kinzie. He helped me get my second XT1225. He wrote a lot of the early dev stuff for our phones, but that was back then the Droid Turbo was still locked down. Doesn't matter, these instructions work for all Quark, Kinzie with unlocked bootloaders.
Do NOT flash GPT.BIN. Leave that off. He even mentions that in the Q&A. You can downgrade to earlier OS version, but you cannot downgrade bootloaders. You try to flash GPT.bin and you will either brick your phone or be in never ending bootloop.
