Reflash the Bootloader - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a moto G Xt1032 bootloader unlocked,rooted if I flash again the bootloader in the device info can I see the "warranty was void" message?

If you flash again the bootloader nothing will change.

If you just want to remove that warning screen, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
That will put your bootup logo to how it was before you unlocked, yet your devices will still be unlocked. This is probably your best option.
If you re-lock your Moto-G, it is still possible to tell that the phone was once unlocked. This will not restore the warranty. I generally don't bother doing this.

LOCKING BOOT LOADER
You need ADB so follow these steps.
To lock your boot loader you definitely need to have a proper connection between your device and computer.
To re lock your boot loader you need to:
1. Turn off your device
2. Hold your volume down button and press the power button. (KEEP HOLDING YOUR VOLUME DOWN BUTTON) You will see a white screen with fastboot written on it.
3. Navigate with your volume up or down to fastboot and press the power button to select it.
4. Connect your device with your computer,
5. Open the terminal in your computer and type in 'adb devices',
6. Type in 'fastboot oem lock' without quotes and your device is locked again, you will see relocked.

You could try flashing a custom recovery to it. If it works, then your bootloader is unlocked.

Only try to flash a custom recovery. If it works, you have unlocked bootloader.
Remember that locking back your bootloader can brick your tablet, and that locked bootloader is not needed for the updates.
I unlocked twice my unlocked bootloader and notting happened, it said "it's already unlocked" or something similar, but do at your own risk.
i dont flash a recovery yet but.. i can enter to android system recovery <3e>
does this mean that i have bootloader unlocked?
thanks!
EDIT. i flash twp2 and it works.. so i hadn't have my bootloader locked..
sure, i'm gonna flash ICS.. no more JB now

[Q] The warning won't go even after relocking bootloader.

Hello guys,
I have a Moto G, Dual Sim variant.
I decided to lock my bootloader, but even after i locked the bootloader back, the warning on the boot screen won't go
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
Fix
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
Download the second zip in the OP, "logo.zip"
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

Soft-Bricked

When i did the OTA update, the device is bootlooping. Unfortunately i dont have an unlocked bootloader and have no way of unlocking it as the phone needs to restart to unlock the bootloader. It still stays locked after go to fastboot mode again. I have the stock image from google but have no way of flashing it. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader without having to restart?
The bootloader relocks itself after reboot? If it does, the emmc is defective and cannot be repaired by reflashing a stock rom or custom rom.

Lock/Unlock boot loader?

Can we re-lock the boot loader on Pixel devices if the device is rooted and modded with custom boot and recovery partitions? I heard that it will brick the device when you try to re-lock the boot loader.
Also what if recovery partition ever gets corrupted and a user never had enabled OEM unlocking for the boot loader in the developer option as set as default, and the boot loader is locked as is, user can'f flash the factory images and /or full OTA from ADB.
I'm no expert but from what I've read 'Never relock the bootloader unless you are 10000% sure it's full stuck' and if I remember correctly there is no recovery partition on A/B slot builds which is why a brick is a non recoverable scenario (check that out just in case I'm wrong)
I've unlocked my bootloader and it ain't getting relocked after reading through heaps of bricked pixel threads, best to be safe than bricked.
Yep @junglism93 is right, only re-lock bootloader if you are 100% stock and unrooted to avoid bricks. Also Pixel doesn't have a recovery partition, everything happens in the boot partition, that means that in case of problems if you don't want to reflash the whole factory image (which needs unlocked bootloader), you can just reflash boot.img on slot-a and slot-b (which needs unlocked bootloader anyway).
I unlocked my bootloader straight after the unboxing and I can tell it's like a life saviour, if any problem occurs you can always solve it with an unlocked bootloader.

That seems like a crazy partition scheme on the device. I can't stand that dreaded unlock screen at the startup. plus you never know for sure if that OEM unlock switch in the developer menu will stay enabled all the time and not accidentally get disabled after modding your device so you're just having a very vulnerable device if it is modded...eh?
I wonder if there is a pure Android device which does not have such restrictions and/or actually comes pre-rooted?

Please help me make my phone work properly

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.
