Hi,
My phone went into a boot loop.
I can access the fastboot menu but the device is locked, I obviously now cannot enter developer options to unlock it
When means I can't unlock the bootloader, and without unlocking the bootloader I can't reflash the device. Bit of a loop of death
Any suggestions or is it a door wedge?

Hello guys,
I have a Moto G, Dual Sim variant.
I decided to lock my bootloader, but even after i locked the bootloader back, the warning on the boot screen won't go
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
Fix
Im assuming you're talking about the screen saying "Warning Bootloader Unlocked"??
If so, unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
Follow the instructions over here:

Download the second zip in the OP, "logo.zip"
Go to your recovery and flash it.
Your Warning Screen should be gone

This will remove the unlock message but if you check on the fastboot screen your phone will still say locked. code 2 Once unlocked you can relock the bootloader but you can never get back to a locked code 0
Forgot to mention that. What he said. Once you unlock your bootloader, it will never be 0. If you try to go for warranty or something like that, I'm assuming that's how Motorola or whatever will know you unlocked your bootloader and hence, voided your warranty.
Thank you everyone, I just wanted to unlock the bootloader because i am giving my Moto to my brother
hello i have a xt1032 GSM running android 4.4.4 kitkat and i wanted to root but it didn't go as plan and when i restored to default i discovered i don't have cellular reception.
can you help me get reception or help me at least relock my phone so i can get it to repair.
i also tried rootjunky.com's tool for recovering (used the 4.4.2 one , to get to his channel just search in youtube "Moto G Unbrick, Restore, Relock, & More")
i tried factory reseting but it didn't help and also hard reset but i don't know what to do :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
plz i am very desperate i need help :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
p.s
my phone is bootloader unlocked but not rooted / has any custom roms.
You can re lock the boot loader but Motorola repair will still know you unlocked the bootloader.
Boot into fast boot and try typing fastboot oem lock at the command prompt.
another method

Hello guys. Long story short.
I managed to lock bootloader with a custom kernel by accident
So I couldn't unlock bootloader again because it wouldn't boot up to the system and any other solution wouldn't work because it required unlocked bootloader.
did fastboot continue and managed to boot into the system to enable unlock bootloader again from settings
fixed it.
Would be nice to have it in the main guide in a section: If you relocked bootloader with custom kernel...

I don't think anyone would relock after reading that, but my point is that if you are in a google play pixel or xl there is still an easy solution but hard to find out there.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/5cbc9m/bricked_pixel_xl/
If you managed to relock with a custom kernel for ex. you will be stuck in the bootloader since you can no longer do oem unlock (need to enable it from developer settings but your device won't boot ).
If this is your case you can just do fastboot continue to start the OS, enable dev settings and enable OEM unlock from there.
Hi All,
I apologize if this is the wrong forum, or if this question has been asked elsewhere. I think my phablet no longer has a dedicated forum. I have a Phab Plus, PB1-770M that I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on. but I can't seem to get into bootloader mode. I can connect to the device with ADB, and I can run adb reboot recovery without issues, but when I try to adb reboot bootloader, it reboots and just hangs at the lenovo splash screen.
Is there anything I need to do first to get into bootloader? Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader?
I'm trying to put a more recent version of LineageOS on it, and I need to get the bootloader unlocked.
Thanks for any help,
Ivan

The bootloader mode doesn't actually have an interface, it's just a boot logo.
Use a computer and run "fastboot oem unlock", then flash a recovery to flash my ROMs.
Hey there,
I have a Pixel 3a, which refuses to start. After powering on, it directly hangs on the first google logo forever.
The device has stock rom and a locked bootloader.
I can still enter fastboot, but when I try to enter recovery mode from there I'm stuck at the google logo again.
Is there anything left I can do to revive the device?
- I cannot unlock the bootloader, because I need to the check this oem unlock setting which in turn is not possible whithout a working device. Or is there a different way?
- I cannot switch the A/B slot because the device is locked.
- I cannot flash something because the device is locked.
I'm grateful for any advice.

Hi there.
A couple of questions first:
Does it respond to any adb or fastboot commands?
Does it enter into Recovery or Rescue mode from Fastboot?
If yes, then your best bet is either https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/ or https://flash.android.com/
Both tools should work even with a locked bootloader, you just need Chrome and the USB driver.
Be warned tho, both tools will erase and factory reset your phone.
