Service needed advice for locking bootloader - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I need to take the Moto G to the service beacuse the microphone is bad and I need to lock the bootloader and reflash the original firmware. Now can I flash the original firmware except the modified logo.bin to not see that warning with unlocked bootloader ?
Basic I take the original full firmware and flash it with fastboot and flash the modified logo.bin and lock bootloader, can I do that ?
Beacuse with locked bootloader only Motorola signed images can boot and I don't know if the modified logo .bin is still signed by motorola.
I know that in bootloader mode is status code 2 but guys from this service are just noobs and If I am lucky they will give other Motorola phone
Thanks !

You can try but when you unlock the bootloader it triggers a tamper flag which is on. Even if you relock they will know your warranty is void. But to reflash stock go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
To relock bootloader, run
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
before you start the process from the thread above. Good luck!

I know about that flag with Status code 2 like I said. In my country there is no official Motorola Service or company and I will take it to my retailer.
My question was If my phone will boot up with modified logo.bin and locked bootloader.
Can someone answer to my question ?

No it won't, all parts must be Motorola factory signed images
In order to lock boot loader you must reflash all parts of the firmware and the boot loader will do signature checks while flashing.

Reflash the Bootloader

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.

[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

[Q] Does boot.img can brick bootloader

if we flash boot.img can we brick the bootloader. or bootloader need another type of img file. if bootloader image need another img file what if i flash everything like system/boot/and other but le bootloader and brick my phone does this mean it is a sot brick and i can boot into bootloader and flash stock.
last thing if bootloader need another img file so why do we even risk to flash bootloader why we need to modify it. and if we brick bootloader can we fix it or sony may be able to fix it.

Please share emmc_appsboot.mbn file of unlocked bootloader

Someone who has unlocked mi 5s plus bootloader please share the 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' and 'aboot.mbn'
file.we can replace these files from edl mode and unlock the bootloader,After I last repaired the phone, I can't unlock the bootloader, and I can't flash twrp. I heard that flash unlocked aboot partition by 9008 can unlock the bootloader. Please help me,thanks
I don't think the file will unlock anything since it's flashed with factory default everytime you flash zip update & the phone's still unlocked.
Plus: how to extract the one in the phone? TWRP can't do that...

remove unlocked bootloader message

Does anyone know how to remove the unlocked bootloader image?
It would be that danger image that appears when you turn on the phone.
someone needs to create modded logo.bin for this device
