[Q] Warranty after unlocking bootloader - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After entering to Moto G's fastboot and typing "fastboot getvar all" a lot of interesting informations about device are showed. There are two, that interest me:
Code:
(bootloader) unlocked: no
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid: no
I know, that bootloader can be easily unlocked with quick "fastboot oem unlock". What's more, "fastboot oem lock" relocks bootloader like in Nexus devices. However, in Nexus world relocking and stock reflashing is equal with warranty restore - I've tested this on myself, when my Nexus 7's screen has cracked (it was little raised on one side) and speaker was buzzing - I've relocked, restored stock, wiped, sent it back and they have repaired it.
So my question is: does relocking bootloader and full stock reflash (like one from there) restore iswarrantyvoid variable back to no? Or at least does Motorola still pay attention to it after Moto X's liberal warranty declarations?

Nope. Unlocking the devices triggers a hardware fuse that lets Motorola know that the device has been unlocked. Plus the UUID or whatever it is that is used to give you the bootloader unlock code is probably marked down as unlocked on Moto's side, as well, which voids your warranty.

We need a better 'crack' to go back iswarrantyvoid: no to yes without cross motorola side..

If you have a hardware fault then you are still covered under EU law so Motorola cannot use this bootloader unlock thing to get out of repairs.

Yesterday, I unlocked bootloader and rooted my Moto G. Today, after relocked boatloader and unroot (reinstalled the stock rom and reset factory), my phone come back to status
(bootloader) unlocked: no
(bootloader) iswarrantyvoid: no
Does that mean I will have my guarantee back again

That sounds good! I'll wait for stable CWM/TWRP and CM 11 nightlies though (I assume official one are on way).

Here we talk about unlock bootloader brother. We no need a code to unlock bootloader and root device. Unlock code is to let device using many different networks, not lock to only 1 network.

Just in reply to the OP....
re the N7 "cracked screen" and "buzzing speaker"...
Just how did or could the unlocked boatloader cause these apparent manufacturing faults?
In what way would the unlocked bootloader allow Motorola a get out from any Warranty, even outside of the EU??
Manufacturers and retailers hide behind this myth of "your warranty is now void"....in circumstances where it is wholly BS.

Incorrect. Currently the only way to unlock the bootloader on the MotoG is to get an unlock code directly from Motorola's website.

Wrong. We DO need an unlock code from Moto to unlock the bootloader. The Moto G comes without simlock by default (exception with PrePay phones) so that sort of unlocking is mostly rather pointless.

To unlock you used an unlock code from motorola or simply you used a oem unlock command ?

Unlocked my bootloader for nothing

Peace be upon everybody, and good morning/evening
Last night I remained using my PC for a whopping 9 hours of work to figure out how to unlock my E6633 bootloader - and I finally figured it out.
The whole process was bumpy and the Sony Mobile Developers tutorial didn't wholly work out, but it had some vital info for the process. I had to unlock the boot loader using the Flashtool (thankfully), and I had some lack of luck at the beginning, which involved a journey to find the lost driver for my Z5, and to install it in the Device Manager (took some time). And then I took a "detour", since facing another roadblock, by creating a folder in C:\Users\<User>\.flashTool\registeredDevices named by my devices code (that appears when you enter adb devices in cmd), then inside of that folder I've created a .txt named ulcode.txt which contains the serial code provided by Sony Mobile to unlock your boot loader. And I've gotta tell you, it was all a pain in the bass.
More frustratingly, this whole procedure has resulted in zero luck with rooting the goddamn device (thanks Sony), and now I'm stuck with an unrooted bootloader-unlocked device . I'm sure this requires taking another detour. I've failed in every way I know to flash the modified stock kernel for some reason. I've tried cmd to flash the kernel and it comes back with FAILED <Remote: command not allowed>. I've also tried Flashtool to root it directly, and it turned out to be non-working as well.
Now, I'm not going to complain about this whole situation, even though I'm recalling how easy rooting my good old Galaxy S3 was. I'm now looking for a solution for that last tiny bit of the puzzle, and I'm sure there are other fellow members who are facing the same hitch.
Cheers .
Is oem unlocking ticked? It sounds like your bootloader is still locked.
All I did to unlock mine was type the command Sony provided with the unlock code and unlocked it with fastboot, took maybe 10 seconds?

After unlocking the bootloader does the phone reset to factory settings? Just to make sure that you succeed unlocking.
Go to developer options and check if oem unlock is ticked
This difference in rooting experience that the OP had with the GS3 and now with the Z5 raises a question in my mind. Is the modding community more focused on popular devices? This is often a deal breaker for some people. If the 6P or the GS6 gets more ROMs and mods and faster root exploits than the Z5, then I myself would prefer those devices over the Z5.

It is indeed ticked and I'm positive that the bootloader is unlocked.
Yes I tried the easy way of doing it with cmd but it just didn't work out. Kept returning with FAILED <Remote: command did not succeed> and that's why I resorted to the other way of creating those files in the flashtool folders (as explained in the OP).

I think maybe the developers at Sony are narrowing down the possibility of modifying their devices.

I went through the steps in that thread and without any problems until the part with
Code:
fastboot –i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I have checked the recognition of my device by entering fastboot devices and it recognized my device successfully.
The X's above being the code provided by Sony, the cmd window (of minimal adb and fastboot) returned with
Code:
FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)
Although, the step prior to this one which is to unlock the bootloader using Flashtool has succeeded.
It's really mind-boggling...
As far as i know that unlocking bootloader will reset ur phone to factory settings.
And not sure but i think you need to remove a number from the code sony sent to you.
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-sony-xperia-z5-unlock-root-tweaks-t3298224
Bootloader unlock is under # STEP 1 - GENERAL GUIDE
I hope this will help
Also check if you're bootloader is allowed to be unlocked.
Type in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*)
Service info > configuration > rooting status.
If it says bootloader unlock allowed :YES you can unlock it, if it says NO u can't unlock it.
If it says rooted or unlocked, you've successfully unlocked it already.
UM, I have E6633 and everything works fine... I used flashtool to unlock bootloader.

Carrier lock, unfortunately as far as I know since the very first Z series impossible to unlock unless u contact the carrier and they unlock it for u.
Keep in mind that they might charge u for that.

well my friend sry but you can't restore this code
most of devices like samsung,motorola etc they have.... lets say a key for the bootloader(is the door) and this key if you root your device
breaks and the half key stays inside the door hole to reminds you that the key is broken(the devicesis root/unlockbootloader).
so if you root any motorola device the code state goes
automatically 2 and stays like this,you can flash again the stock rom and relock the bootloader sure
but the code stays 2 for ever.

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but I think the jist of it is how do you relock the bootloader... the answer is you cannot, once it is unlocked it will always report as unlocked, even if you reflash stock and find a way to relock the device.
When you unlocked your device, it was plainly stated in the disclosure on the website that once the bootloader is unlocked, it is irreversible.
yeap

YEAAA we say the same think,but i use an othey way to say it.
i say in the end you can relock the bootloader (more or less) when i say this i mean that you put some partitions back in boot loader
so when you flash the stock rom you can take any ota update,but the main bootloader is unlock always.
i know that form my old moto g2gen, moto x2013!!!

You could relock the bootloader on older Motos, but not anymore... Actually, it can be relocked but it will never report as locked or relocked, it will always be reported as unlocked. I don't how to be more plain in describing this.
And yes, you can take an OTA when unlocked, as long as you have a stock ROM and recovery and your bootloader is the correct version for your ROM. If your bootload and ROM are out of sync (ie. you have a Marshmallow bootloader and a Lollipop ROM), if your bootloader and ROM are out of sync, you could potentially get into a hard bricked situation.
ohh!!

Once I sent my hard bricked phone to Motorola. I had unlocked the bootloader and done the stupid mistake of sideloading an older version and upgrading to a newer, but still older version. When it came back, it said it was Status Code 0.
Wonder how they did it.

They flash the eMMC chip (internal storage chip) directly... If you could get the right image you could possibly do it yourself with a few hundred to thousand dollar investment in a proper JTAG flashing unit.
Key would be getting the right Image, this would be far more than just a normal stock fastboot image, and is probably generated on the fly per device due to differences in serial number, IMEI, etc. These types of images don't get leaked out.

You unlocked the bootloader... It doesn't matter if you actually changed anything else or not. Once it's been done, this status code can never go back to 0. If the status code is 2 and you didn't unlock the bootloader, then someone else did.

No I didn't.. I don't even know how to.. I just found out about recovery mode.. Wait wait before i say that.. How do you unlock boot loader? Turning developer mode on? Going to recovery menu?

You unlock the bootloader with a series of steps that includes submitting a code to Motorola and getting an unlock code back... Performing it forces a factory reset as well. It's not something you can do by accident.
The issue with Status Code 2 was that an official update could have detected that and refused to update properly or done something worse... That never happened.
If everything is working fine, the status being 2 isn't important, it just means the previous owners had unlocked the bootloader and likely rooted or otherwise modified the phone.

root moto g3 locked bootloader

Hello.is their any method to root moto g3 without unlocking bootloader ? i am on Android M
Nope. Trying to do so with 1 click tools may end up with a brick.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Exactly as @Gravemind2015 said. No. You cannot root without unlocking the bootloader. Do not attempt any other methods than described here, they can and will fail, potentially leaving you bricked.

The OEM Unlocking option is what allows you to unlock the bootloader in the first place. If you are in fastboot mode and have not toggled that option, it won't allow you to unlock the bootloader. As for relocking the bootloader, I'm not sure. Though I can't imagine you WOULD need it toggled for it.

Probably nothing you can do, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader.
There is a chance that the unlock site isn't working, and is giving a false " not eligible" message it happens.
if that's the case you just will have to keep trying the site.
Which CID does the device have?

0x0002 is the Verizon Cid, Verizon doesn't want the bootloader unlocked.

Sorry, it usually only takes 72 hours for oem unlock to work, but the device needs to connect to wifi or carrier.
Which cid does the device have?
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Look for this line
Code:
(bootloader) cid:

Right now, It's on WiFi and I got it on MetroPCS network.
Not even 5hrs since I got it online through metro and my home wireless.
I'll check it in 72hrs and let you know if it doesn't work
It is a pretty nice phone for $400! Great internal storage, 256GB though I got 256GB sd card and 6gb ram, 2 more then my G7

Cid should be good,
You could try a factory reset, and reconnect to internet.
Or contact Motorola

Thanks - I've posted in there forum and will see what they say.
My G7 was also cid 32 and could unlock after 72hrs so we'll see about this one soon enough

I had not - I randomly checked the oem lock in developer options and it was available so i did the bootloader unlock.
Also got it rooted by getting the boot img file from LMSA and patching with magisk then running the patched boot in bootloader.
No ROMs seen at this moment to try/test.
Same boat, hopefully we get some roms soon.
This is the subsection for the 5G (XT2131-1, and probably a few more) version of the Moto G Stylus 2021, make sure to keep an eye in both subsections.

Is this variant to new for rebooting? XT2131-1 bought from bestbuy w/o activation so it's supposed to be unlocked for carrie
I was able to use it on metro/tmoble without issue but cannot seem to get the bootloader unlocked, grayed out
Errors on moto's site for unlocked, not eligible, is it because it's to new?
