relock bootloader for warranty? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ive been having this overheating issue with the phone, basically at times it gets really hto while chargeing. so im pretty sure i will have to send it in and id like to know a way to relock the bootloader so i may do so

Hi,
BootLoader unlocked by giving Motorola all infos to receive a bootloader unlock code ???
Obviously they already know your Moto G is unlocked...

im pretty sure that the motorola tech support doesnt even check for that, theyre not very bright. i would just like to relock the bootloader just so that warning doesnt come up when i turn it on

Ok ok...so, after just 10 secs of research, here you go : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597856
(flashing a bootlogo will do the job, if it's only for warning message...flash a Motorola original one...)

I don't think it matters. Just do:
fastboot oem lock

im getting an error, sst lock failure

i used the guide form the motorola faq thread, the one that satanas posted has broken links and hard to follow

[Q] Confuse about Booloader & Rooting

Hey Guys, I decide to unlock the bootloader and root my Moto G so i start to read about it and preparing everything to do it in my pc (drivers, etc)
But when i start to read de Resource Guide Thread in the General forum i read something that confuse me specifically in the Root part that says:
"If you do not have or do not wish to unlock your bootloader then you can opt for @oasoas014 's method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583652 ) of bootloader downgrade. You may also visit @Cooptx's more detailed guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585755 ) . Note, with the most recent recoveries, you do not need to downgrade your bootload"
But reading the @Cooptx's method says that need unlock bootloader, i really dont understand the @oasoas014 's method but reading all the comments says also that i need unlock bootloader.
So im kinda confuse here, is that im not reading well? or i just need to unlock it? someone can give me a strait answer?
You must unlock bootloader if you want root, there is not other solution for moto g atm. Maybe in future there will be an exploit to root bypassing bootloader like on moto x but not now.
Thanks you, the info is kinda confuse, im gonna put me in to work. Hope eveything goes well

It's not that much work and Motorola makes it really easy to unlock the bootloader If you still need some help or run into trouble let us know!
hey
i tried to unlock bootloader via motorola web site but it says my device does not qualify for unlocking
tried flashing recoveries, root zips and updated to official kitkat, but still does not work
phoned motorola support and they said motorola doesn't guarantee bootloaded getting unlocked, it depends on luck
any suggestion?

unlock bootloader

Hi guys,
Does anyone knows or this is real?
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/2015/04/lg-g-flex2-6916.html
And if so does this mean that a custom recovery is almost upon us?
I hope so
You have to do a quiz to "download" the file so I'm going to say it's fake.

I remembered waiting for custom ROMs on the first G flex worst experience ever. Though the flex 2 in red is so beautiful I couldn't go another year with locked bootloader and no development all over again and I hate to say it but a lot of people including devs are waiting to see if the bootloader would be unlock before jumping on to this device.
Also from the looks of the G4 I think most that was waiting for movements on the flex 2 is going straight ahead to the G4.
i think its fake and here is why:
he say he has the tutorial from this forum, but here is no tutorial

It's coming guys. People have noticed the Enable OEM Unlock option after updating to 5.1. That is for LG's official unlock method which is currently rolling out to the G4. See here: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS/

6) now pull out your usb cable and your battery, too
7) put your battery back in and boot
well, I'm sure we can't do these steps as our GF2 has got non-removable battery

The only purpose of pulling the battery is to power off the phone.
We can do that by holding power and volume down for a few seconds.
It was exactly the same for rooting the flex 2 and most people that have tried that have had no problems.

I'm by no means an expert but, surely "reboot" is a standard command that works across all terminal and command prompt interfaces. I imagine the only thing it requires is that the device the command is sent to has the ability to power off.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, it just seems ridiculous to me that you wouldn't be able to use "reboot" in oem or bootloader mode.

You cant boot into bootloader
Reading the twrp thread of lg g4 the only way to unlock their bootloader isvdownloading an unlock.bin from lg site after providing imei etc... Only european model of lg g4 can unlock their bootloader... So the same will happen to our device probably... The only solution waiting for lg.also for rooting first twrp then superSU.

well my friend sry but you can't restore this code
most of devices like samsung,motorola etc they have.... lets say a key for the bootloader(is the door) and this key if you root your device
breaks and the half key stays inside the door hole to reminds you that the key is broken(the devicesis root/unlockbootloader).
so if you root any motorola device the code state goes
automatically 2 and stays like this,you can flash again the stock rom and relock the bootloader sure
but the code stays 2 for ever.
i hope to help you

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but I think the jist of it is how do you relock the bootloader... the answer is you cannot, once it is unlocked it will always report as unlocked, even if you reflash stock and find a way to relock the device.
When you unlocked your device, it was plainly stated in the disclosure on the website that once the bootloader is unlocked, it is irreversible.
yeap

YEAAA we say the same think,but i use an othey way to say it.
i say in the end you can relock the bootloader (more or less) when i say this i mean that you put some partitions back in boot loader
so when you flash the stock rom you can take any ota update,but the main bootloader is unlock always.
i know that form my old moto g2gen, moto x2013!!!

You could relock the bootloader on older Motos, but not anymore... Actually, it can be relocked but it will never report as locked or relocked, it will always be reported as unlocked. I don't how to be more plain in describing this.
And yes, you can take an OTA when unlocked, as long as you have a stock ROM and recovery and your bootloader is the correct version for your ROM. If your bootload and ROM are out of sync (ie. you have a Marshmallow bootloader and a Lollipop ROM), if your bootloader and ROM are out of sync, you could potentially get into a hard bricked situation.
ohh!!

Once I sent my hard bricked phone to Motorola. I had unlocked the bootloader and done the stupid mistake of sideloading an older version and upgrading to a newer, but still older version. When it came back, it said it was Status Code 0.
Wonder how they did it.

They flash the eMMC chip (internal storage chip) directly... If you could get the right image you could possibly do it yourself with a few hundred to thousand dollar investment in a proper JTAG flashing unit.
Key would be getting the right Image, this would be far more than just a normal stock fastboot image, and is probably generated on the fly per device due to differences in serial number, IMEI, etc. These types of images don't get leaked out.

You unlocked the bootloader... It doesn't matter if you actually changed anything else or not. Once it's been done, this status code can never go back to 0. If the status code is 2 and you didn't unlock the bootloader, then someone else did.

No I didn't.. I don't even know how to.. I just found out about recovery mode.. Wait wait before i say that.. How do you unlock boot loader? Turning developer mode on? Going to recovery menu? I've never hard reset it.. Just soft or doing new device. You said it could work fine for a while then shirt out? Like guy I bought from did and then I bought used for couple years and then went tits up?

You unlock the bootloader with a series of steps that includes submitting a code to Motorola and getting an unlock code back... Performing it forces a factory reset as well. It's not something you can do by accident.
The issue with Status Code 2 was that an official update could have detected that and refused to update properly or done something worse... That never happened.
If everything is working fine, the status being 2 isn't important, it just means the previous owners had unlocked the bootloader and likely rooted or otherwise modified the phone.

Bootloader unlock first boot time

Ok new to Moto G. It's my cousins set and he told me to unlock the bootloader. I did everything as said in the tutorials, got "Unlock" at the screen too. But it did not reboot, I manually pressed the power button to boot that up and it wentbto bootloop (I guess). Can anyone verify how long does it take to boot after unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks

Put the phone in fastboot mode, then run `fastboot flashing unlock` from a PC. If it says unlocking not allowed, you're out of luck, it's a brick now. Never lock your phone without being 100% stock on both slots

No idea. I've never relocked unless I am completely stock and take at least one ota first to make sure, along with full factory resets before and after updating.
There are others here that claim they where able to unlock again and save their phones though so maybe it's possible.
