Hi,
After replacing MotherBoard of MotoG 3gen (2015) bcs of a frontcam error is the fastboot "status is engineering" and "software status modified" because of this it is not possible to unlock device with a valid fastboot unlock code from motorola.
How can I change this in to "Device is LOCKED" Software status: Official
DeviceMotorola Moto g 3gen 2015 Model: XT1541
Devoloper Options incl OEM Unlock are ON, Drivers installed and have a unlock key
Fastboot:
C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastbootfastboot oem unlock U2IO745DXCUHXFQMFCKO ... (bootloader) Unlock code = U2IO745DXCUHXFQMFCKO
(bootloader) fastboot oem
lock currently disabled! FAILED (remote failure) finished. total time: 0.047s

Have you tried the normal relock procedure? http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-relocking-bootloader-t3398470

I would still try the above guide, it is really your own my option short of contacting Moto.

Engineer Bootloader means that there is no lock at all. Hence why it says Secure = no. It also means the OP has a very rare XT1541 Moto G 2015 which is worth a few bucks!.
It means the OP can do what ever to any partition there is no lock on anything.

Anything the OP wanted, Dump the whole partition sets. Set stuff that shouldn't be touch etc.

That is what I thought, but there is talk of a couple other phones with bootloader status Engineering, but most roms that are not stock won't boot. The Resurrection Remix UberTC thread is one of them... If you are familiar with this topic can you jump in that thread and assist the user?

Oké we have same opinion abt status engineering i installed cwm 12 in my never locked Motog 2015- XT1541 (osprey) and it works great interesting thing is that i cant install Cwm 13 or other A 6 based OS Except original / stock Android with fastboot or RSD Lite.

I have the same problem, when i boot RR 5.7.3 or any other r61 or later rom build i get a kernel panic and makes a ramdump. Not booting at all. Now im on vatsal RR 5.7.2 and i have no problems. Hope it helps someone to find something. Thx

FYI... Due to the fact that several users have seen this, and it's started showing up in the Moto X Pure community, I posted in the Lenovo forums for more information on this in this thread.
The response was quite clear from AlphaDog (Moto Sr Moderator):
The phones should not be showing Engineering. If you get a phone back this way, it was not flashed properly and needs to be reflashed - call customer service and make arrangements to have it reflashed.

You should flash back to stock and contact Moto customer service.. It is entirely possible your device was misflashed and isn't even reporting the correct RAM or storage space. A device with a Engineering state for the bootloader cannot be trusted.

No, the problem is that it should never have left Moto with an Engineering bootloader... Look back about 4 posts to see what Moto had to say.

[4.3] System dump /apps and /framework, deodexed

Thanks to the moderators for the new Moto G forum!
Until we have finally root and/or custom recovery, here is the dump of the /system/app and /system/framework folders, already deodexed and ready for modding and theming.
This is the stock factory ROM 14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE, which the devices are shipped in germany/europe.
[edit] the right build number is 14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8, sorry for the confusion.
Download here: http://d-h.st/Yqb
Enjoy!
Thanks! Here is all the extracted system dump so that you don`t have to download the entire thing incase anyone needs it

Well, do you know what you are doing?
If not so, I won't like to give you an advice because you may brick your phone if you do something wrong.
You can enter fastboot with Power+VolDown. You don't need root, but an unlocked bootloader.
How about root?

There is a custom recovery now, so you need an unlocked BL, flash the recovery, flash superuser and enjoy you can also test the countless exploits or one click rooting methods, like vroot or kingoo or whatever they are called.

Boot to fastboot, and select the last option in the list. Unless the last option is barcodes, then pick the second to last option. When the phone boots, RSD Lite will see it.

These are the options in the Moto G bootloader:
Code:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
Switch Console [NULL: null]
Barcodes
BP Tools

The last option "BP Tools" reboots the device to Android, but with a whole bunch of new devices detected in Windows Device Manager.
Manually add drivers for the new "Motorola QC Diag interface" device. These drivers are in the motorola driver package: http://www.mymotocast.com/download/MDM?platform=windows
The driver is the "Motorola QC Diag Port", Windows did NOT detect this, I had to go through the 'let me choose a driver' dialog. Finally the Moto G is detected in RSD Lite.
That's it, BP Tools at the end. I selected it wondering what it was and lo and behold, RSD Lite suddenly recognised the phone (I had left it open).

Sorry
Sorry,
I didnt see it.
I talked with LG on twitter and they told me that it will be an update.They didnt told me on what day but they said it is on calendar and it will take place in few days.
Looking like tomorrow actually. We need to wait for a KDZ to surface since we cant flash unsigned images.
Plus, there is no root for Android 6 ?

maybe are...if we have root for 5.1 why dont have for 6.0?! you are wrong...i belive someone like one guy i cant remember the nickname here on XDA make img's to flash with root built in...and if they do on other versions why they dont make with 6.0?!
You have to get your mind open because everything is possible, only thing i cant see possible now is getting the bootloader unlocked! :/
Its stupid not to open bootloader.We have a flashgrip without ROMs.
Recently,i found an option that maybe cal allow us to get into bootloader.OEM unlock?Anyboy knows about it?

In marshmallow it may not be possible to root the system without the bootloader being unlocked..
That is why the other LG phones with marshmallow bt no bootloader unlock are still waiting for just a simple root..
The bootloader of marshmallow itself verifies for system modification and override root.
-however there may be some way bt now it will be much more difficult to root itself.

Sorry guy, you are not the first one who has seen this option it's there since a few updates and doesn't do anything...
Android 6 requires a modified kernel in order to have root. There may be ways around it, but it is a compliaction for sure.
I´m not sure what everybody is using root for, but it´s not a problem for me. You can always download the system image, do any changes you like on your computer (like changing DPI, which is a must for me) and flash it to the phone afterwards.
Also, @adribarrueco please change the title. It´s not Android 6 and it´s not even Android 6 source code. This is just the opensource files that LG used in their flavor of Android 6. The complete source has tens of GB of data.

Damn I fall for that title every time.
Original poster, please change the title of that thread.
The title for this thread is bull...
Stop bumping this thread let it die.
I had sprint LG G2, for G2 new lg open source release would mean update comes to phone in 2-3 days . Open source code release generally means build is final and ready to hit phones or no further changes to open source code.
Given that H955 model is released in many countries, may be LG will start rolling out 6.0 in some country this week.
I hope lg relase any solution for 9008.... my flex 2 is dead

There are many Android experts that could unlock the bootloader Right ? Is it how it works ??? If yes that means they could unlock it ..
Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk
My understanding, not as a programmer by any means...is that the phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader prior to even having the ability to gain root. If the service provider (Verizon) doesn't unlock this, root cannot happen in a traditional sense. Carriers such as T-Mobile have a root for this phone as they come with unlocked bootloaders. You wont see root on the Verizon variant.

no there isnt hope unless u figure it out the "experts" have tried time and time again
the bootloaders arent locked they are signed with a very special key that would take ever computer together in the worl roughly 200000 years plus to brute force into. verizon and att are the worst
now you all know. as said before if u wanted to root you should have studied before buying a "locked" device
if u want root either get a rootable device or figure it out on your own
as with the g4 there will more than likely never be root for these "locked" devices
not being an ass just the cold hard truth

they cant unlock the bootloader or it would have been done
lgs verity key prevents this through qfused motherboards highly encrypted partitions that the bootloader verifys and if one thing is off bam lg secure boot error.
which again is basicly hardcoded into the device.
no one is going to waste their time trying a 99.9% impossible feat
The phone is just not popular enough the Verizon Galaxy S7 I believe is unlocked for the bootloader. If the phone is popular enough a developer will work on it.

You need to be on marshmallow or have anti-rollback to be 0 which <1% of ppl have. Also, it's not a complete root, so although you have root permissions, it's unstable and you have no root manager (SuperSU/Magisk/etc.)
Root

[Magisk] Root P20 Pro

So since apparently no one rooted their p20 yet and I heard it wasn't possible since no boot dumped yet.
I'll provide this https://mega.nz/#!jlBFWSwR!wzozF9Zi189upCm6mCVjTDEUcG9SpDHbNOPewKJ7so8
Magisk patched boot. (oh yeah you read right!)
All you need to do is obtain your bootloader unlock code.
If you somehow fail getting the bootloader code or getting wrong code. I can write up a thread for how we did it.
Unlock the bootloader and flash ramdisk with
Fastboot flash ramdisk CLT-L29-MAGISK.img
They reboot. Simple right?
This has been tested on a demo unit (C652) and works well!
We even dumped oeminfo!
Enjoy.

Since there is no procedure in case of brick phone, it would be better to be sure that it works each time before starting ..

Mine is from 8.1.0.106 (C185) , but am keeping yours as well, just in case, LoL
And, can you share the un-patched one as well ?

Ah, france one, ok, thx for the info ! File size is quite (if not exact) similar. So i guess, we're on a good track
i saw this : https://androidjungles.com/root-huawei-p20-and-install-twrp-recovery/
Is it a joke or a real tutorial ?

It's a copy-paste guide, don't use it.
And it's originally not even for Oreo, as they use 'recovery' partition rather than 'recovery_ramdisk'.
ok, thank you
I suspected a little.
However, just before I had the P20, I had an Oneplus 5T under oreo and it was still a partition recovery as usual. I rooted the Oneplus 5T by flashing the recovery quite normally: "Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then under twrp, flashing magisk.zip. No use of a recovery_ramdisk

It's certain. abd very logical
In the meantime, it is not very clever for these sites to offer fake tutorials because people in a hurry could try the adventure and end up with bricked phone, for a long time.
In any case, I hope that a formal and tested procedure will see the day soon, that we can have a little fun!

Has anybody managed to get a Viper4Android Magisk module working on the P20 Pro yet?
Can someone explain me better the flash method ?
I have a P20 pro (CLT-L29) build 8.1.0.107(C432). european version.
Now to root I download the package.
I've already unlock the bootloader.
How to do other Step to flash ?
I see the photo. They are in magisk manager ?
or I must flash in a powershell on my PC ?

It's not working on my Huawei P20 CLT-L29 C432 running EMUI 8.1.0
Unlocking the Bootloader works as described using the obtained unique unlocking code but after patching the .img file there doesn't seem to be root/SU available on my device. I would stay away from this as of now!

Yes I meant I tried the root checker Apps from Playstore, Titanium Backup root etc. to verify the Magisk .img was flashed properly and works but just doesn't

Nokia 8 official bootloader unlock method.

Rejoice people, Nokia just released an official bootloader unlock method for Nokia 8 confirming via a tweet from Juho Sarvikas.
Please check the tweet or Nokia website for more information, I am not yet allowed to post links/urls on XDA threads yet.
I will not definitely do that! Cause, it is a high risk to unlock a device with a cronic image retention problem. I don't want to make my warranty void until I can completely trust this device!

So, A big question to all participants. If we have already unlocked bootloader via unofficial one, do we need to unlock it via official method?
I want to know if it poses no big deal if you have already unlocked bootloader previously using unofficial method.

Simply speaking: the result is the same, because unofficial method calculated the same keys official does. You don't need to unlock again as it's unlocked already.
btw just would like to put this in this topic where it belongs: official announcement post about unlocking https://twitter.com/sarvikas/status/1045298106818949120
