Hi there,
Is there anyway we could get rid of the annoying bootloader unlocking warranty when the phone boots for an unlocked bootloader device? I couldn't find anything on it here.

Oh thanks so much. I don't know how I could miss that.
I have to return my Nexus 6 to Motorala but I've removed the AT&T boot animation. Does anyone know how to restore it or if it will matter that I've removed it once the bootloader is locker?
Thanks,

If you are returning it to Motorola I would suggest flashing a stock image file and relocking your bootloader. This will accomplish what you are asking.

Thanks, I did that thinking it would bring back the animation but no luck. You don't think that they'll notice/care that the animation isn't there?
I returned mine. With out the animation. Haven't heard a word. Just flash to factory
I have the oem partition I believe. I got it from another user on this forum but can't remember where haha. If I remember correctly it's just unzip and place in all contents in the oem partition.

If I well understand your question, you have an AT&T purchased N6, and Motorola is going to let you RMA it to Motorola? They didn't tell you to contact AT&T? Most interesting....

Yea, it had a cracked screen so it wasn't strictly a software/bug issue. More of a... human error issue.
Hey guys,
Not sure if I am going to be able to do anything about this. I signed up for the OTA beta program, device downloaded the OTA. When I got to the flashing stage it went to recovery and failed for some reason. Now I am unable to boot the device just gets stuck at Google splash screen. Cannot OEM unlock in fastboot because it was not enabled in developer options prior so flashing any images is out of the question. Is there any hope for me past this point or is the device bricked?

reboot into bootloader mode and flash that way. OTA is the worst way to update, IMO.

I can't flash images with a locked bootloader or is there a way around that?

the OTA wiped your custom recovery and didn't load the ROM properly !??!?!?! Yikes....................if your phone has stock recovery and the bootloader is locked then it is bricked and you need to send it in.
Device was completely stock, including recovery no custom recovery or root or anything.
That's strange....

Lol I know tell me about it.... I am going to see if motorola will send me a replacement but not to confident they will.
did you have root before taking the ota? anyways, sounds like you have the first N brick.

They may....I think the big question is if they still have any in stock......anyways, let us know what happens....that's a very unfortunate situation. The first thing I did when I got my phone was unlock the bootloader and I have not re-locked it since.

Yea sucks, device is out of warranty so I am SOL it seems. Lol I don't unlock because it breaks android pay and other security features which I did not want to disable.

This is even more unfortunate. You can use Android Pay with an unlocked bootloader. I've flashed my phone back to stock images with the bootloader unlocked and Android Pay works. It's not contingent on a locked bootloader, only factory stock images.

That's just a general warning. No bearing on AP.......well you may be able to sell the phone as some people may buy it. I'm sure someone out there has a way to get it back, but I'm not sure how. I recall seeing a thread where someone in Cambodia did the same thing and he took it to a shop that was able to reverse it.....

I can't find the thread, but I did find this one:

It looks like you are not the first to be bricked with an OTA update. There should be a sticky about this issue moving forward.

Count me in as one of the potentially many more that bricked his phone while trying out the Beta program via OTA...
sorry to tell you this , but with locked bootloader , your phone is hard bricked, no way to recover, only by sending it back to motorola or amazon if you bought from them. i sold about 100 pieces of nexus 6 to customers and my first advice to them is to check " Enable oem unlocking "
anyway email google and blame them for this and i am sure they will help

No bootloader, no root

There's no way to flash anything. Bootloader is locked and you can't boot into fastboot mode. There's no way to root this phone.
I don't own this phone but would consider it. Has anyone tried this? Is it legit?
Hey,
Unlocked Bootloader give warning at boot time like most of new android phones ?
