With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?
My bootloader is also unlocked and I dont have any problems with receiving and installing OTAs I also have Magisk and EdExposed installed - no problems at all.

Phew! I'm glad I'll be able to install OTAs. Have you tried flashing it manually or via RSD Lite? Here it won't flash.

What instruction did you use to unlock the bootloader?
What region is your device manufactured for?
Does your PC see your device connected to the fastboot mod?
What does this command give you:
Code:
fastboot devices
If the device is detected, enter the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Hey all,
I have the Moto One Zoom running on Android 9.
Also, It's Rooted with Magisk and have Riru EdXposed installed, can I install my OTA updates without bootloop or do I have to Uninstall Magisk, relock bootloader and factory reset/flash stock firmware to get latest OTA updates?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

I attempted to flash and unroot my Nexus 6 via Wugfresh's tool, and thought it was a success. I hit 'relock' and now the device is bootloader locked with no OS installed.
However, I can connect via fastboot so far, but I am not very good with it. I think I may also be able to push files, but when I attempted to flash SlimLP the device just reset.
TWRP is still present on the device, but I cannot unlock my bootloader without getting a ROM on there... So I am stuck...
I need to mail this phone back in tomorrow for cracked screen, so I am hoping someone can help me. Thank you.

First check here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
Get the sdk tools and once set up, see if you can do adb devices and have the phone show up on the PC, if so, do adb push (name of rom file) then boot to twrp and install. If that doesn't work, check the same page above (since you don't have an OS not sure what would happen) try the unlock instructions for fastboot ( I would wait for someone else to comment before trying this). You might want to message this user http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2872010 rootSU and see if he can give guidance, he has lots of experience.

Unlocked Bootloader
The thread says they are for unlocked bootloader only.
I have TWRP installed, but for some reason at one point my bootloader was relocked.
So now I have No OS to 'enable oem unlock' to unlock my bootloader.
This is my issue.

I don't understand, what do you mean it worked for other users? The thread specifically states the bootloader has to be unlocked, and unfortunately I do not have an unlocked bootloader.
So I cannot fix this issue unless I either get a rom to flash with a locked bootloader, or somehow force unlock the bootloader

Go to terminal in root mode and do

Than you can change the value and its not longer greyed out.

If that dosent work you can also follow the below procedure.
Relock your bootloader. Your phone will factory reset and boot. Then head to developer options and you will see oem unlock is not greyed out. Then just enable oem unlocking and unlock the bootloader. When you boot up again you will see that oem is greyed out but it'll be enabled. So you'll have unlocked fastboot and unlocked frp now.

I haven't gone that far. I've unlocked and then relocked.
Everything fine. I believe it's completely safe if you have complete stock firmware installed ie, stock rom, stock recovery, stock Kernal and all that stuff. Otherwise you'll end up in a loop. Guess I forgot that part sorry.
So I know this is someone else's thread but can you tell me if I relocked bootloader will the service center be able to know I'd unlocked before? I don't have the phone unlocked warning at boot. Just curious.

Some if not all bootloaders nowadays are not "locked" by the manufacturer using a code but are usually "locked" by employing a digital signature and/or a CID (carrier Id) hard coded into the OS. When we "unlock" a bootloader with a code we are simply using a routine written into the loader by the manufacturer to now ignore signatures and/or CIDs of the OS and this allows us to flash whatever we wish.
Sometimes upon unlocking using a code the DS/CID is erased/altered and cannot be retrieved, so not a good idea to relock an altered bootloader.
At least, that is my understanding of it.

If you have unlocked bootloader and critical partition flashing, and still have problems to enter EDL mode, try on another PC and USB 2.0 port.

Hello
I purchased the device of the title already unlocked and would like to return it to stock rom and lock the bootloader but I don't have the unlock code. I followed a guide found here using an otg cable and a pendrive to return to stock in hopes that it would also lock my bootloader but it did not. The procedure completed successfully twice, 1st going from .178 to .185 and second attempt from .185 back to .178. Every time the phone was factory reset but the bootloader remained unlocked. Any ideas on how to relock the bootloader on this thing without having the unlock code?

That's very strange, service firmware always lock bootloader but in your case it can't. Anyway I have two suggestions for you first go to developer option and uncheck OEM Unlock option then try dload.
Second is try this method Thread Link Click here. Third and last use erecovery for stock firmware restore.
Hope this will help you.

Hi. I'm in the same situation. I have a Huawei P30 Pro that came with an unlocked bootloader. The yellow message at startup is really disturbing. I would like to relork the bootloader but in vain. The fastboot oem relock command does not work. I flashed the firmware in ota and also by erecovery but nothing works. Recently I noticed on the back of the phone the inscription NOT FOR SALE. I don't know if it has anything to do with it or not.

Hi guys,
Sorry for this stupid question but how do you check your bootloader status on this device?
fastboot oem relock command need oem bootloader code.
you can try with full ota upgrade via OTG via Dload metod. long press the volume up key + volume down key + power button.
Choose the right firmware ,same country of your PHone (example europe C432).
But you are very lucky to have an P30 pro unlocked...don't relock.....

Oh, okay.
If you flash in DOWNLOAD MODE, bootloader will keeps SAME, locked or unlocked.
If you flash in FIRMWARE UPGRADE MODE, bootloader will be LOCKED again.
If you flash in FORMAT ALL MODE, bootloader will be LOCKED again and you will lose all identications of the device like IMEI, BLUETOOTH MAC, WIFI MAC.
You can downgrade MIUI safely and securely using download mode.
