I appear to be in a conundrum. I'm looking to change the recovery I have from CWM(T) 5.8.0.2 to the newest CWM(T), but my girlfriend insists on that I keep the bootloader locked. I updated it once before but I can't seem to find the instructions to update it again.
Can anyone help me here? and if at the very least, give me some reasons to help me convince her to let me unlock it.
Ignore the girlfriend and unlock the bootloader, it always can be relocked and no one will ever know that it was unlocked! once unlocked use fastboot to flash the recovery of your choice, plenty of guides with commands to do so.

I got S-off and unlocked bootloader. I have install Custom Recovery. I install a RUU without locking bootloader. After RUU complete, I go into bootloader again. Now the status of bootloader is unknown, meaning it doesn't say Lock or Unlock on the top of the screen but it does say S-OFF. I try to fastboot flash a custom recovery, it doesn't work. I try relock, it doesn't work either.
It give me this error, FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I try upgrade and downgrading, doesn't help.
How can I fix this problem?
seems like I can't use fastboot command anymore. I want to install custom recovery and I can't do fastboot flash recovery.
I am having this same exact issue with my Xperia Z Ultra. It is really hard to find any information on this. Anyone have some input on this?
I know this is the wrong forum for me, but the error is exactly the same. Thanks.
Hello guys,

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Im assuming you're talking about the screen saying "Warning Bootloader Unlocked"??
If so, unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
Follow the instructions over here:

Go to your recovery and flash it.
Your Warning Screen should be gone

This will remove the unlock message but if you check on the fastboot screen your phone will still say locked. code 2 Once unlocked you can relock the bootloader but you can never get back to a locked code 0
Forgot to mention that. What he said. Once you unlock your bootloader, it will never be 0. If you try to go for warranty or something like that, I'm assuming that's how Motorola or whatever will know you unlocked your bootloader and hence, voided your warranty.
Thank you everyone, I just wanted to unlock the bootloader because i am giving my Moto to my brother
So here's the history, one beautiful day my XT1033 (Brazil), starts rebooting by itself. Went online, found somethings to do, UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER TROUGH THE MOTOROLA SITE, and downgraded to 4.4.4, but I made the mistake of updating it, trough the normal motorola updater. It went black, wouldn't turn on, not even fastboot. Researched a bit more, did a blank flash and then I could access fastboot again. Problem is, somehow my device's bootloader got locked again, and when I tried to "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" , I would get a " couldn't get unlock data!".
So, now I can't flash a ROM , and can't unlock bootloader, is there a way to flash a ROM with it locked? Or to re-unlock the bootloader?
Pls help, I can't stand using a Galaxy pocket neo anymore, HELP ME.
GOD BLESS!
if you can access Bootloader i can recommend just reflash the original stock firmware and u can do that with locked bootloader.
This is the case, I have a problem with the Flash ROM, now the phone can go into fastboot, but there is no Recovery, and the phone's bootloader is locked.
You're going to have to give a bit more detail if you want help from this community.
For example:
What phone variant do you have?
What did you have on your phone when it was running properly? i.e stock android, locked bootloader, rooted etc.
What 'Flash ROM" do you mean a factory image or custom ROM?
What had been trying to do to your phone i.e upgrade from Android 9 to 10 by sideloading an image?
Had you previously unlocked the bootloader?
I'm not saying that I will ultimately be able to resolve your issues but the more info you give the more likely someone here will.
Now,my pixel 3 can not work,the bootload is locked.when I select recovery by fastboot,The phone noticed me can not find vaild operating system,the device will not start.
I used to unlock the bootloader, it is because I locked the bootloader that this situation has occurred.
Can you unlock the bootloader again in fastboot?

When I lock my devices bootload,then this devices auto wipe data, so I think oem unlock is not open.And I can not unlock bootload.
Hello
So I followed instructions for relock the bootloader but I think I made a mistake now I'm in a big big mess :/
I got a message "Your device is corrupt can't boot", thing is I wasn't rooted anymore I flash some file before relock the bootloader.
The thing is I don't have access to the Fastboot anymore no commands working so no EDL.
The only thing I have access is the Start/Restart Bootloader/Restart recovery
So I wanted to know is there a solution of do I need to contact asus and pay for repair.
Thanks in advance
