As of updating Flashtool to the latest v0.9.18.5, I'm no longer able to unlock or lock my bootloader with it. Even after uninstalling it and re-installing the previous v0.9.18.4, I'm still not able to unlock or lock my Z3's bootloader. Any idea on how I can unlock my bootloader? Because the regular fastboot method keeps failing every time I try it.
Code:
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
I re-locked my bootloader so that I can perform the DRM Restore method after unlocking it again and then flashing the latest AndroPlus Kernel. But I can't even do that now.

So just to clarify on what [NUT] means, is to create a folder first that's titled with my IMEI number, place it in Flashtool\custom\mydevices\ then create a ulcode.txt file which has my bootloader unlock key in it minus the 0x portion and place it inside the folder that I created named with my IMEI number? I'm kinda confused with what he means because he mentioned to take note of the ADB device number which is completely different but the 0x number involves the bootloader unlock key.

No, the folder should be named after your device's serial code. You can find it on Settings>>About Phone>>>Status>>Serial number. That's the same code that ADB DEVICES puts out.
And you're right about the bootloader unlock key part!

Okay, thanks, will give it a try as soon as I get that Serial Number from my device. Gotta boot it up for the first time cause I just flashed it earlier.
Edit: Success, thanks again man!

Again, if you even get 1 character wrong, the unlock will fail.
Do not post the code publicly, first part of it is your IMEI.

I didn't quote the code for a reason. Skrilax_CZ recommended you remove it, and I would concur.
Edit your post and remove the code. I never wanted you to paste it in here, sorry I did not make that clear.
At any rate, all I can say is make VERY sure that the code you are provided is the SAME code you are using for the fastboot command.
I didn't even think about asking - but I assume you're not using it as a CDMA device. Did you buy one with a bad ESN? If so, I wonder if they prevent bad ESN devices from being officially unlocked...
Good luck.
Oki
I find a solution after update to last new version
Download this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143437
After download and share fail with samba windows or mac sharing, you need to mount from file manage > remote storage
After fix permission go to adb folder and type : "adb shell", "cd /mnt/rfs0", "./su" , "cd /", "ln -s /mnt /storage"
Next step go to console and type :
adb kill-server
adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn
Next : Install apk package from phone , Reboot Phone and now your phone is rooted!
Update from Play Market SuperSu and go.
Best regards,

Rooting and unlocking bootloader is not the same thing.

Yes not the same but in this moment motorola support dumb to give unlock.

Where was your Q purchased? Second hand I presume?
I wonder if bad ESN devices do not qualify. Or if it has been unlocked, and relocked... perhaps it cannot be unlocked again.
Good luck.
Tried it once more a minute ago and it worked, looks like motorola servers weren't in the mood earlier
Thanks for your help
I've tried to unlock the bootloader on my Sony Xperia L C2105 and I messed up...
So, first I've decided to unlock it using the official method on the Sony site instead of using the Flashtool. Everything went fine, just followed the instructions that were given there (installing the fastboot...using the cmd). After finishing I tried to power on my phone but that didn't work. It just keeps showing the colors moving from the left to the right (I think this is called a bootloop).
After searching on internet I found out that after unlocking the bootloader I have to flash a stock .ftf file for my phone. I have downloaded the Flashtool and I've tried to flash two different stock .ftf files but none of them worked.
I thought that I messed up when trying to unlock the bootloader using the method given by the Sony official site and then I decided to try unlocking again using the Flashtool (yeah I didn't know that it's easier to unlock with the Flashtool). So I press the "BLU" button, I follow the instructions and after that, a window pops out. In this window I can see the IMEI number the Unlocking Code. The problem I found here is that the shown IMEI code is different from the one given by my google account (yeah I used google to get the IMEI because I can't dial that number on my phone because I can't open it). Below the IMEI code is an unclickable button "Get Unlock Code" and below the Unlock Code is the button "Relock" which is clickable. What is strange here is that if I click Relock and close the window, the next time I use the BLU button the same window pops out but instead of "Relock" I get an "Unlock" button. After pressing Unlock the next windows will have Relock and so on...
Is there a way to edit the IMEI code because the one shown is wrong. Or is there some way to just reset the phone and fix it even if I lose data or photos or anything else?
I didn't say that I have made a backup file before trying to unlock the bootloader using something called "TA" but I can't use it because the phone is not in USB Debugging mod for some reason and I can't turn it on when the phone won't open.
Also, I don't know if this really matters but every time I open flashtool, it asks me for the user home location (C:/Flashtool) and I can't use that until I delete all of the content of the firmware folder. Thank you for helping and sorry for my weird english...

The imei number is written on the side of the phone's box
PS:You been doing it right and i think actually you've been unlocking and relocking the bootloader all the time
PS2: Why the ftf files didnt work?
Do you still have the original packaging of the phone? If yes, the IMEI is printed there usually as well. If not, I believe there should be a label on the phone as well with an IMEI identification, somewhere visible when you remove the battery. Hope this helps!
---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------
But I guess you probably can get another unlock code for your present IMEI. Sounds strange. Usually the IMEI should not be overwritten I thought, though technically of course possible.
Now Motorola supported has updated to support G7. You should be able to unlock open market model.
Prerequisites:
1. ADB installed
2. Motorola drivers installed
3. Your phone has enabled OEM unlock (hit build number few times to enable developers options) and USB debugging
4. Backup your internal storage. ALL PERSONAL DATA ON INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE WIPED DURING OEM UNLOCK PROCESS!
----------------
Process:
1. Enter bootloader. After your phone connected to host computer, use the following:
Code:
adb devices
After your phone has been shown up, use the following command to enter bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Retrieve your phone unlock data and submit
Go to https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Retrieve your phone unlock data using the following and open notepad or any text editor
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You should see 5 lines of data starting (bootloader). Right click and mark the data on the line 2-5, drag until all data highlighted and right click once.
Paste the 4 line data on your favorite text editor and locate the cursor to the end of the line and press delete once, and repeat until 4 lines of data become a single line, and press Ctrl+a (select all) followed by Ctrl+c (copy)
Paste the single line to the box under #6 and verify. Accept the terms and press the blue button
3. Unlock your bootloader
After the unlock code delivered, highlight and copy 20 characters code
Enter the following command and press space once and paste the code
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
It should be fastboot oem unlock XXXXX (20 characters code)
You have to enter same command again to finish the process.
Your phone bootloader now unlocked and it's ready to install root
is there a way to relock once unlocked?
shaDNfro said:

Click to expand...

Yes. fastboot oem lock but doing so will wipe the device back to factory settings.
adb backup -all
will back up your phone to a cable connected laptop. Is there anything else one needs to back up before unlocking the bootloader wipes your data off the phone?
**Specifically, will it backup
1. Documents folder
2. Download folder
3. Other custom created folders like saved photographs, etc.
Thank you.
For anyone looking at this thread and wondering, yes, Amazon branded device's bootloaders can be unlocked.

Nope, the beauty of GSI's are that you can simply do an "fastboot flash system NameOfGSI.img" and the rom is flashed. No need for a custom recovery
Now that TWRP is finally available I'm picking up my courage to unlock and root my Moto G7. Thank you for all your instructions here and in the root thread.
Because I'm not an android expert and am scared I want to be sure I understand everything correctly.
1. ADB is installed and works. (I used adb to create an adb backup to my laptop).
2. Not sure what you mean by installing Motorola drivers. (I can see the Moto G7 when I connect it by cable to my W 10 laptop).
4. Backing up:
I used a cable connection to copy all the visible files to my laptop using Windows file explorer. I also have the adb backup mentioned above.
Final question:
What will need to be restored after unlocking the bootloader? Everything I backed up or only parts?
Thank you.
I would appreciate someone helping to answer @maybeme2 questions above in post #9. Specifically question 2 about drivers. I've downloaded the Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant and can ADB connect to my device. However when I set the device to fastboot mode then the connection is dropped.

That's part of unlocking and that warning is there for a reason. That said you can either relock or find another logo.bin to flash that covers it up. Flashing another logo.bin does not make your phone secure again it's just cosmetic.

It will not remove the warning. In fact rooting is even less secure fyi.
You'll have to search on xda for a modified logo.bin.

I never said that I removed the image named "orange". I did extract the "orange" image from logo.bin, edited the orange.png to black out the warning text, replaced the orange.png file in logo.bin and then flashed the modified logo.bin "fastboot flash logo modified-logo.bin".
I concur with ptn107's recommendation that you lock your bootloader and return your device to stock. That way you won't have to wait the five seconds which seems to be your concern.

Yes it is the imposed delay that I objects to. I've had other rooted phones and none had this warning and delay after unlocking the bootloader. So it is not part of android but something added by Moto.
It's not a big deal, but an unnecessary annoyance which is why I asked in a moto thread.

as far as I know, the corrupt may due to the bootloader being locked but your system is locked at a higher version. See if you can boot the 12.6 after unlocking the boot loader. Then you will need to apply ota manually and reach to the version "beyond" the highest version you have even installed, then you can relock the bootloader.
I have no information on the serial change though.

The bootloader is locked and i cant unlock it using sn.img or adb commands because the serial number is different. Tried using the new serial number to generate a new sn.img but failed.

You also try to Dial *#06# from your device. You'll should see your IMEI number displayed on your screen.
