This kinds of cases happen some but I don't think it useless ! You must move to Service centre.
On my Sony Xperia phones, invoking the retail demo used to wipe out the lock, star hash star hash S E L L M O R E hash star hash star. Try & see...

well flashing stock will solve this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 if u wish u can install cm 12.1 which does not show such messages after u reset
ok plz help for installing stock rom should my phones bootloader be locked or unlocked
now my device says "device is locked"
what does this means
Can I restore Factory Firmware if my Bootloader is locked?
Yes. However attempting to downgrade to an older version of Android may fail. Even with an unlocked Bootloader, downgrading cannot be guaranteed. It's also important to be aware that flashing the wrong Bootloader (bootloader.img) for your model can have serious consequences. Always establish your model of Moto G before flashing.

I think your best chance is contact Motorola and expouse the case, to see what they recommend to be done...
Plz give me One Info : To flash custom rom in Phone, should rooting is compulsory?
Or without Rooting we can Flash with Custom Rom
Kindly Reply
well in that case u can try by unlocking your device and again try flashing stock ROM. second thing u need to have device unlocked and custom recovery to install custom rom, root not needed. if your device is still locked and u have warrenty than take it to service center. one more thing there is no alternative known to me for receiving unlock code from moto website.
Also, in order to unlock your device you have to get into the Settings menu, enable Developer menu, go into the Developer options and enable "OEM unlocking", without that you cannot unlock the device to load TWRP or a custom ROM. With the boot loader locked, you can only flash images that are digitally signed by Motorola, meaning factory images.
Your best bet at this point is to contact Motorola service.
thanks 4 reply but I didnt got my Answer,,,,,,,,,,,For Flashing Custom rom is Rooting compulsory

No, it is not... but unlocking the bootloader is mandatory. You cannot unlock the bootloader unless you can boot the device, go into the Settings -> Developer options and turn OEM Unlocking feature on.

Hi guys, i hope you can help me out here.
a Friend of mine is a taxi driver and had a guest who forgot his money and paid with his Moto G 2015 8GB.
As a friend of good deals, my friend now wants his father to use this Smartphone since it offers enough for his needs.
I already set it up from the scratch, but google now wants me to login with the first account data from the previous owner, which im afraid-, we wont be able to obtain any more.
Id install Cyanogenmod without Gapps to ignore the Google Questioning, but i need to check the "Oem bootloader unlock" option, which i cant, cause i cant setup the smartphone any more.
I hope anyone of you can help me? The Phone it not stolen, so as far as it is possible, please help me!

Goto stock recovery and using vol.down+power key u will be in fast boot mode using vol down chose recovery mode and press power key to enter into stock recovery. If u see a dead android just press power key first and holding it press vol. Up then just scroll down to factory data reset and now every g account will remove. Now set it up
A factory reset will probably not help. Moto G implements the new Factory Reset Protection feature which Google did introduce with Android 5.1. This check for the password of the last Google account registered on the device will survive a factory reset.
To my knowledge there is a way to circumvent the Factory Reset Protection on some Samsung devices due to a faulty implementation by Samsung (this was in the news a few days ago).
But this will probably not help with the Moto G.
Just reflash the stock firmware and you will be good I hope
You can't do anything with stock firmware, you can't unlock bootloader. The new system protection is exactly for that purpose. If your reflash the firmware via fastboot, at first boot prompts you to login with any google account used before in the phone.
The only way to revert the locked status is login with google asociated account and wipe from the settings menu once the phone has been unlocked.
i tried the stock firmware reflash as well.
you so are telling me there is no way to get a working firmware on this phone without going actualy in the developer options and activate bootloader thingie?
i mean google did a good job on that part. Still sucks though, but thanks for the answer

Yes, you have no option. To unlock bootloader you need to turn on the oem unlock permission in settings and actually you can't enter in that setting.

When you reflash the stock firmware via fastboot it clear all data & cache. When boots with clean system it prompts again to activate the phone.
For one side is nice to see that this works... Too bad for you... I guess you already googled it right?

Xiaomi.eu remove bootloader locking from its rom, so Xiaomi.eu and sMiui 6.1.14 roms are safe!
This is going to be a problem for me. Brought my phone from ibuygou and my phone came with a mi account already associated with it and I don't know the password for it :/

Create a new account, where you will input all your data, including the phone number...
Achive Diamond member on MIUI forum..with that new account, otherwise you will not be able to unlock it.
Just hit that restore to factory deff. button in security and your phone will be wiped. remember to backup everything on computer.
After your phone is factory deff. then on the initial setup, input the new MI account you just created.. and you're good to go.
Application will be made by the unlock tool, once you logged with your UID (the account number on forum) and password. As soon as MI will let you unlock the bootloader, you will receive an SMS, that your account was allowed to unlock it.
Only after that, you will be able to unlock the bootloader.

yes.. just a simple wipe will do..also cache and davilk cache..
after that, you can apply for new MI acoount. The one you will own, and know everything about it.
I didn't payed too much attention, but how in the world, ibuygou to send you a new device with a prestored MI account?! I don't get it.

It came with an xiaomi.eu ROM and twrp already installed. Worryingly I've done a full system wipe and clean install of a xiaomi.eu ROM before and it hasn't reset my mi account. Or so I thought, will try again Friday or at the weekend.
Isn't locking bootloader against Mi's 'geek' spirit?
Locking bootloader is aimed to provide better user experience, which we've been trying to do the whole time. In the meantime, we've provided a unlocking tool for senior users who know their ways around flashing and tweaking their devices. (Unlocking Tutorial)
The unlocking process is really simple. After unlocking, the device can do all the things as before we locked bootloader.
The unlocking procedure will need Internet access to get the unlocking password. Also, the Mi Account logged in on the Mi phone and the unlocking tool needs to be the same. Otherwise the unlocking request will be denied. This will ensure that ill-intentioned people will not get access to your personal data.

What a poor move by them
Well, I think a *****, more coming from a company that its beginnings were a simple modified ROM, if all the phones have blocked today Xiaomi not exist. These behaviors piss me much. At least hopefully option to open it easily, like google with the nexus

excuse , as you become a diamond member?
Maybe they want to protect new costumers from bloatware installed by resellers, and the only option is locking the bootloader...
BUT
-the unlocking peocedure is only in Chinese at the moment
-you don't receive the unlock code immediately, the wait could be 15 days
-Xiaomi locked already sold phone by an update without writing it on changelog
I own a Mi4c by 2 weeks, fortunately I'm on sMiui, otherwise with this update I would have returned this phone

This move by Xiaomi will prevent other s**t from resellers...
Well I guess don't want to flash the developer rom, then
How will this affect roms like sMIUI or Xiaomi.eu?
I understand why they did it, but I don't like how they enabled it. They should have made all future phones being made/shipped out be locked, so then you know from the start you have a locked bootloader. I feel bad whoever ran into issues with updating with a custom recovery.

It might be foreboding of a move into more international markets for them. Seems like an attempt to cripple resellers that modify stock or flash the EU roms in any case.
I can't imagine any other incentive for them to make this move, since they've always been so focused on ROM development themselves, they must've realized this would not sit well with their audience. I remember people marveling at the first MIUI ROM when it came around for the Nexus One. Weird how that feels nostalgic already.
I ordered a 4c not 24 hours ago, I hope this doesn't mean I'll get treated to an unlock process exclusively in Chinese before I can get a crack at it. But no use worrying about that yet, cross that bridge when we get to it.
Does anyone has an idea on what to do with this phone now?
I just bought it today and I was going to install xiaomi.eu rom. Now I have just spent 2000 HKD on a phone full of "MI accounts" and Chinese software that is no use to me... Even the unlock method requires diamond status or whatsoever on your MI account? I don't even want to have a MI account!! This is madness.. and the unlock software is all in Chinese even on your phone!

Return the phone to the seller, if there is a pre existing MiAccount the phone is used, not new, I never heard of phone with TWRP installed from the seller, they usually use a live version to hide the modification...
I hope you have paid with PayPal

Probably your phone will come with a old unofficial version of miui, simply don't apply 6.1.14 china dev, if you want an official rom flash the last stable, or sMiui...
I think they need to sell of the existing stock before pushing locked bootloader smartphone to resellers...

It seems to be a panic solution from XIAOMI... But I for one, have had bloatware/malware installed when I got the device. I just bought one for my girlfriend, and I'm positive that there is bloatware installed as well.
I am sure that the team at Xiaomi are reading this, and when XDA members (like me) complain about bloatware, they see a threat, as I sure as hell won't recommend a device from Xiaomi to rookie users because of the bloatware.

Like I said, they need to do this, but they done it in the worst way, failing costumers trust...
At least now I can suggest the mi4c when normal people ask, as alternative to the factory locked RedMi Note 3...
Hello ppl,
I unlocked the bootloader and I can flash any custom ROM without problem...But when I'm installing the official MIUI comes back the lock screen ( this device is assosiated with mi account).
So, everytime I have to connect to WiFi and enter my password to unlock it!
Why is that? How can i free my device from this cloud lock? Is it enough to remove my device from the assosiated devices list from my cloud? ( I think no, cause my device has the lock already and waits...)
Do I have to use mi account unlock tool?
I don't need cloud xiaomi cloud at all .
I used it only to unlock my bootloader.
Thanks...

I'm not certain what is happening there. Have you got TWRP custom recovery installed? I have had a multitude of issues with MIUI activation and accounts. As I created a MIUI account from the phone and it was a different account number to when I sign in via the website, so they didn't match up when I went to sign into Mi Unlock. It said I had to wait 6 months to use the mobile number with a different account. So had to get another SIM just to unlock the phone.
Unless the phone hasn't been fully wiped. You might need a factory reset or format data.
Thanks... Phone works perfect on crdroid.. I have offcourse the Chinese twrp..
I can flash every ROM without problem...
Only when I'm installing Miui I have the lock screen asking for activation and password..
I know my pass and I can go on...
But I want to disable it..
I don't want cloud lock on my device..
I'm also curious how it stays cloud locked after factory reset/ wiping everything... Lock stays probably in another partition....
It's normal behaviour, I get the same prompt when I install MIUI.
yes is normal.. But very irritating.... If i dont have wifi i cannot unlock my phone!!!!
So no way to de-associate my device ?
Last time for me that I'm buying xiaomi....
Good hardware , but they want to control and spy..
Not nice..
Next time One plus...

To disable it install official miui, sign into your mi account, then go to settings and sign out, and reset the phone. It will not ask for an account afterwards

My phone is suddenly turn off and stuck on redmi logo. I havent backud up my data. I want to recover the data. I asked mi executives they suggested reset. but my data will be loss. I think that custom recovery like twrp will work. but bootloader should be unlock. I havent added my device in mi accounts so i cant do that with the mi unlock tool. does anybody have another suggestion regarding to recover data and unlocking bootloader.
FYI: As soon as phone's bootloader gets unlocked, as a consequence all user-data are wiped.

any other suggestion to recover data
.
For the average user a data recovery basically only is possible if phone's Android is got rooted AND accessible via an ADB USB-connection.
My recommendation: Take phone to authorized service center in hope they have the appropriate tools / mehods ( as police stations, secret services, etc pp. have ) to pull user-data of interest from phone.
