So I tested lohzocum's kernel and it works, however when I tried restoring the TA partition, it wouldn't boot anymore. And I re-flash the stock KK firmware, it said Bootloader unlocked allow: Yes. So obviously my bootloader was locked again. Any way to avoid bootloader relocked ?

If you restore TA partition it relock your bootloader...
There's no way to avoid it ?

Why would you restore TA with unlocked bootloader ? it doesn't have any meaning .
It'd be nice to be able to restore the DRM keys but not relock the bootloader.
Especially after reading stuff like this: http://www.gsmarena.com/unlocking_the_sony_xperia_z3__bootloader_degrades_its_camera-news-9831.php
I wonder if it affects the M2 as well.
In any case, it's not as useless as you think.
I think it affects our camera, or is it just me ?

It doesn't. I took a picture before unlocking the bootloader and then another one right after unlocking - no difference in quality at least in manual mode.
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.

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

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.

Can I lock my bootloader again? Because I can't flash anythis, because FRP is locked, I think that is the problem why I can't flash no?And in the development settings enable oem unlock it's blocked and I can't switch the button...
Usually users report to do the rollback to MM and they get the phone locked and unrooted
Just like out of the box..
But in your case I would be more carefull since oem unlock can not be changed..
Let some more experiaced user tell you if you can do the rollback to MM evan with the
oem unlock not changed..
Use the adb command with the unlocking code you got

What to do with adb and unlocking code, because bootloader is unlocked, but i can t do anything, and i cannot enable oem unlock
I have answered similar question here. Now you have to flash rollback and after that B131 (everything as stock). Then you have to update to version you want to unlock and follow my steps.

Sorry, I thought I was answering someone else, there's lots of people talking about bootloader
As title says, is it possible?
I tried to unlock bootloader even with message saying "Bootloader unlock: No" and it worked. I didnt expect this to happend and I've lost TA partition. Most stupid move I've ever made.
Now I'm wondering about possibility of relocking without TA. I dont really care about X-Reality, low light camera issues etc.
Just want to know will it work? I really would like to avoid hard bricking.
Any information?
Without a TA partition backup, you can't relock.
Are you sure the bootloader was unlocked? Does the phone display the warning screen when phone boots?

This is impossible. If it said it was not allowed then you cannot unlock the bootloader. I imagine that your bootloader is still locked or that it was allowed in the first place.
You will not be able to restore your TA, but i believe you may be able to relock the bootloader using flashtool without it. However, you will not get back the lost functions so you will be better off keeping it unlocked (If you really are unlocked) and using a custom ROM/kernel with the DRM restore functions.
Yes I do have a warning message at boot stage. I'm currently using Existenz ROM, have root etc. So it is unlocked. I've seen a post on this forum with information that some phones display fake message about unlocking bootloader. Thats why I have tried unlocking my phone and it worked. Before bootloader unlock: no, now it says Yes. All I had to do was open dev options, check oem unlock and debug. I'm not lying to you guys.

bootloader unlocked :no it means that state of your bootloader is locked but you can unlocked.
bootloader unlocked allowed :no means you cant unlocked your bootloader because some restriccions on your phone. Only sony can change this state.
So sorry you cant relocked your bootloader if you lost your ta you only can fix it but flashing a custom kernel with drmfix. cheers
Have you relock your bootloader. I meet same sittuation with you. I unlocked bootloader for my xz1, now i want to relock it, but it cant be done. It has bootloader unlocked allowed :no

I dont know how to relock it again
I am considering relocking the bootloader for my HTC U12+. I unlocked it a long time ago (out of habit I guess). So my phone is completely running stock without any modifications. I want to relock the phone to get widewine back to L1, so I'll get Netflix updates and such.
A few questions about relocking that I couldn't find an answer to.
1. When I relock the bootloader will it do a factory reset to the phone? I'm asking because unlocking did.
2. If later on I decide to unlock the relocked bootloader again, do I have to get another unlock-code from HTC? Or is unlocking a relocked bootloader a simpler procedure?
So I decided to do the relocking. During the relocking procedure I was being told on the screen that the phone will be wiped if I continue. It remains to be seen how I'll unlock it later on if I want to.

2. You have to to go through the HTCDev website procedure (not sure if you can reuse the previous Unlock_code.bin file).
is it possible to get "locked bootloader" instead of "relocked bootloader" and get rid of system status modified?
