I unlocked my bootloader with the ez-unclock app. i opened the app and its status was unknown? i then clicked unlocked and it changed to "unlocked?
is this right?
how do we know if it is unlocked?
i "adb reboot bootloader" and see the normal odin download thing?
BY the way how do you guys get out of there without flashing using odin i have never figured it out?
Thanks
Paul
As long as you unlocked it it will be unlocked. It won't show unlocked in Odin nut it is unlocked. You el really won't know until you flash a kernel. It is unlocked though

Thanks. what about reflashing a stock bloated rom in odin. will that therefore restore the boot and will you loose the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks so much

Did you update the app?
Just curious if the bootloader is relocked after accepting the OTA, and if so will the code have to be re entered? Or will a Fastboot OEM unlock suffice?

It won't relock you.

So if I downgrade and take OTAs will the bootloader unlock remain, and is this even possible?
Once the bootloader is unlocked it cannot be changed to its original state...
Hi guys,
i have moto g xt1033 stock rom locked bootloader. want to try root on my device. it requires unlocked bootloader. that i can do. but is it possible to unlock it again in case want to get warranty ? if yes if any one can guide me for that will be helpfull.
You can relock the bootloader but, apparently, Motorola will know that you unlocked the bootloader even though it says "locked" on the fastboot screen.

Yeah, i agree because we have to grab the unlock key from them.

thanks for reply. m just worried about warranty. so will i get warranty back ? and btw m on 5.0.2 asiaretail.
I used to have a Motorola Atrix HD with a locked bootloader. Once the Atrix bootloader is unlocked, it blows an e-fuse which cannot be reset, like the Samsung phones. I think the Moto G uses an e-fuse too.

no, once the bootloader was unlocked, you lost the warranty

hello guys, im new here.
anybody tried relocking their bootloader by using this command?
fastboot oem lock
and does it work and restores warranty conditions?
That command has been tried since the original Moto G and no, contrary to what some people think you can't reset the internal unlock counter. They will always know you unlocked it. If nothing else, they know because you got the unlock code from them. I'm not sure why people overlook this clearly posted sentence when they request the unlock code from Motorola.
"Unless you have a Developer Edition device, once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty; in other words, please don't blame us if things go wrong, even if they appear unrelated to unlocking the bootloader."

That command will lock your bootloader again. However, locking and unlocking will wipe your device.
Upon receiving your unlock code from Motorola, your warranty is void; regardless if you unlock it or not. The sheer act of asking for and receiving the code voids your warranty.
Of course, if there is a true hardware issue that is not caused by software tinkering, you can still use that piece of the warranty.

but I think after reflashing stock, boot logo will be return to normal.
I tried that command and relock the bootloader several times as i didnt got the same battery backup as stock... So my question is after relocking and flahing stock rom... Do i get the OTA? and will it get flashed sucessfully?

Yes you will be able to get over the air updates after relocking bootloader if necessary system apps and files are not modified.
If you are not able to get ota you could also flash stick firmware images.
Thanks man... I flashed the whole stock rom from xda here only...
Even though I've run the commands to re-lock, going into the fastboot (bootloader) mode shows it's unlocked.
Anyone figure out a way to actually re-lock it?

No, once it's unlocked, the counter will always show an unlocked bootloader. Best you can do is hide the opening unlocked bootloader screen.
In the 1st Moto G i have sucessfully relocked the bootloader.
You can use the command 'fastboot oem lock begin', then flash all files from fastboot firmware changing the logo file to logo-mod.bin (File that have removed the unlocked warning image, because flashing custom logo.bin doesn't check crc or hash when relocking the bootloader), then finish with 'fastboot oem lock' command.
Example:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
- - - rest of commands
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem lock
I don't have tested because i don't have unlocked my g3 bootloader yet.
Just try

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, doesn't stop the banner from saying the bootloader is unlocked.

Have you flashed moded logo.bin?
I still don't understand the point of all this... why are people trying to go through all the work of relocking the bootloader?!?! There is ZERO benefit to it... your warranty is still void (you don't even have to unlock, just agree to the terms and get the unlock token), it doesn't enhance resale value, it doesn't change the performance, so why all the effort to try to do it?!?!

to get the new official OTA... if bootloader is locked and have stock rom we are able to get the OTA and can flash successfully with it... though it shows bootloader unlocked warning.

Hmm... Are you sure? If you are unlocked but otherwise pure stock, you should still get OTAs, if your not then they are most likely blocked server-side not client-side. In other words just accepting the T&C of a Motorola bootloader unlock could not only void your warranty, but also blacklist your IMEI from OTAs as well.
I could be wrong, but I think your "barking up the wrong tree" here... I can tell you for sure that Huawei does it this way since Lollipop, if you unlock the bootloader your IMEI is blacklisted server-side... They are very straightforward about it.

not at all... already flashed official firmware 3 times after experiencing the less battery backup on custom roms. in this 3 times i flashed the modified bootlogo so didnt got the warning of bootloader unstlocked and not able to get the OTA but then again i flashed the official firmware 4th time and without that modified bootlogo in hope to get the latest OTA build no. LPI23.72-65 and it worked i got that update next day... and still its show bootloader unlocked warning... so that warnling doesn't affect the OTA is you have everything stock with locked bootloder.
Can anyone post a modified logo without the unlocked warning? My bootlock is relocked but i wanna get rid of this message. Thanks!
Just to clear up any confusion. There is no need to relock the bootloader. In fact it seems like a waste of time to me...

After I unlock my device bootloader, am I still eligible to receive software upgrades from Motorola?
Unlocking your bootloader does not affect your eligibility to receive over-the-air (OTA) upgrades from Motorola. Upgrade packages to new versions of Android will be pushed to all eligible devices, regardless of their bootloader locking status.

Is there a way to just root your phone without unlocking your boot loader? I just want to simply root and install some apps that require root but that is it.

I'm pretty sure that you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Not sure if you can unlock - root - relock ??
I think this is not possible yet without unlocking the bootloader.

Once you unlock and relock your bootloader, its status will be relocked, so your warranty is void anyways.
So I have to unlock the boot loader first. Dam I assume that is on the difficult side of things as well...

If you want the status to show "locked" and not relocked to get your warranty back, you can use the downgrade package from nougat to marshmallow and flash stock B131.
I managed to relock my bootloader using this method : my fastboot screen says "locked" (and not "relocked")

Wait for kingroot method. No need to unlocking bootloader to root, people do it because its only one way to have root on honor 8 now - by flashing supersu in twrp, and twrp/modified recovery you can flash only if you unlocked your bootloader first.
