i was using my phone(its never rooted or try to experiment something its just a original factory setted piece) and suddenly my moto g2 gets switched off and when I try to switch it on a black color screen came with just a message saying "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)"
Please help me with this
I have tried to unlock the bootloader I got the unlock code from motorola and when iam using the next query "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxx......." then error comes invalid unlock data
please help me in making my phone normal with back to stock rom
Thats a lot, sometimes the most easiest answer is just return the phone to carrier if under Warrenty. If not under Warrenty get another phone, sometimes we might not be able to buy new phone .
Then comes the headache of solving the question ??if rooted, easy install new ROM that works with your phone.
If not rooted then no Warrenty then root device, find other users that have rooted your device. I know I always find the most complicated answer to the simplest question by posting and asking other users. I wish you luck in finding your answer dont forget to share your answer and experience .

Hello, my name is Armando. This is my first post here, and I only have one question. First of all I want to say thanks to all you guys, I've found a lot of useful stuff here for my phone Ok, let's go for it:
I recently unlocked my Huawei Y511 to use it on any carrier, and it was succesful (I didn't unlock it by myself, a repairman did it). The problem is... my phone still got all the original carrier stuff (boot animation, some crappy apps and sounds) and I want to delete all of them. I rooted my phone before the unlock (temporary root which I found in this same forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276) and I leave all the stock ROM untouched before the unlock. I noticed that the guy who unlocked it used a "unlock box" named "SigmaBox" and he told me that my phone was able to be unlocked directly, without needing to wipe and reinstall all the software (I give him the phone, then one hour later I have my phone all unlocked, and it was the same way it was before it).
Now my question is... if I install a new ROM or whatever... will I lose my sim unlock?
I don't understand how he unlocked the phone, all I know is that he did a "direct unlock" but I don't know if he used unlocking codes. All I know is that he used some kind of USB box connected from my phone to a computer, and did his magic and surprise, phone unlocked.
Do you know what kind of unlock is this? And how does it work?
PD: Sorry for my bad english, my native language is spanish but I'm trying to improve my english skills (so I didn't use a translator).
I don't know much about unlocking. But I'm pretty sure that you won't loose the unlock status if you flash custom rom

Thanks for your reply, and yeah, I think you are right.
After doing a little research, I found that a "direct unlock" is basically the generation and input of unlocking codes generated by both IMEI and carrier code, and the unlock box generated three codes which only one of them worked and the phone gets unlocked. So, my phone is
unlocked for ever and I won't lose my unlock status even if I install/update/reinstall the ROM.
If any of you guys know something else about this unlock procedure, please let us know!
Hi guys,
It might sound dumb but I was wondering if it was possible to relock the bootloader while keeping root.
In fact, I did not want to modify my Honor 8 that much too soon but I enjoy playing some games on my phone using a pad, I did not want to spend alot so I just went with a pad I already have, the DualShock 4. It works well except the button mapping in native Android games, that's why I have to root to use Sixaxis app to solve the issue.
So I may have to root my device soon but I don't plan any other modification to the system atm and I particularly hate the warning message when you boot (gosh, I hated it on my Moto G but it was easy to replace).
That leads me to the thread title: Is it possible to root and then get rid of the unlocking message (relock the bootloader or anything else would be okayish)?
I just want to get root access on the phone for my gamepad issue and eventually setup some typical things such as a real adblocking solution (DNS66 is not bad but hosts file is still the way to go imo) and maybe Xposed.
Is there a way to reduce the modification on the phone? (Thus the idea of relocking it, I was thinking that maybe, once relocked it won't show the message. But maybe relocking just wipe the phone again? (as unlocking it does))
Thank you guys
thats possible to relock bootloader .but if u used flash custom recovery and SuperSu.zip to root your phone , after rooted device , please reflash stock recovery vi fastboot and relock your bootloader
I don't think it's possible to relock the bootloader and keep your device rooted.

It was possible with the Nexus 5 and a few other phones to root it and then relock it. Obviously the only way to know if that's the case on this phone is to try it. But you just have to make sure that the stock recovery is there instead of twrp before relocking.
One brave soul needs to try it though. [emoji4]

Well, I'll wait until someone who has a rooted device give it a try.
That screen would really annoy me... I always thought it was dumb to put that kind of screen... Damn, no need to remind us that it is unlocked if WE DID IT OURSELVES.
So today i decided to downgrade from V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM to V10.0.11.0.PEEMIFH because i was having serious battery issues on V10.2.1.0.
I should have looked into it more carefully but nope, my dumb ass decided to install the older ROM version via the Updater in Settings and it bricked my device in the process.
Now my device is stuck on boot with the message "The system has been destroyed. Press power button to shutdown".
I have the global version with the bootloader locked. The only thing i have access to now is fastboot.
Any ways i can recover from this? Any help is greatlyyy appreciated.
You can try to unlock bootloader with fastboot mode, but i'm not sure that works because the system has been destroyed and your account has been destryed too. I think, the best for you, is to send it in warranty for repair. I have bricked a Redmi Note 4 like that and even with the test point method, he has never work again.

If you can find the fastboot version of the ROM you were on before downgrading just flash it with miflash

Fortunately for me i was able to unlock the bootloader. Likely because i registered my device since i first got it (about 1 month now), so i think i must have met the wait time requirement and it was fine that i couldn't access the system.

I tried miflash the first time with my bootloader still locked but miflash refused to work with a locked bootloader.
So i tried again with my bootlocker unlocked and it worked as expected.
Lesson learnt. All is well again and i'm able to keep my bootloader locked with the "flash_all_lock" option.
Thank you so much for all the help!

I am very sorry for reviving this thread, but if it's possible, can I ask you how you had managed to unlock the bootloader through fastboot? Now I am facing a similar situation to the one you once did, where my phone is stuck with the error message "The system has been destroyed" with a locked bootloader, and the only thing I have access to is Fastboot. I will greatly appreciate it if you could take some time to help me out because I have tried looking everywhere on xda forums and yours seems like the only one that is very similar to what I am currently facing now. Thanks so much.

Unless you have got unlock permission and linked phone to account you can't unlock.
Unlock like how you would normally - put the phone into fastboot, connect it to your PC, and run the mi unlock tool. For this to work, hopefully you have associated your device to a mi account and have met the unlock requirements ie. surpassed the waiting period. Otherwise you're out of luck as there is no other ways (that i know of) to register the device now as you can't get into the system.
As a last resort you can try opening up the back of the phone and flash new firmware using the test point if unlocking is not possible. I'm not sure how or where the testing point is located exactly, but it's a possible solution that i found while researching when my device was bricked. Good luck!

u say u can only access to fastboot..
How about pressing volume up and power button? can u enter in stock mi recovery with mi assistant options?
HHello, I wanted to consult something before getting into a problem. I have the moto g100 with the challenge channel, since the Android 12 ota did not come out for this channel, I decided to install the Android 12 retail ota, Everything worked correctly, but now I want to install my original firmware which is RETAR and block the bootloader, so my question is the following, can I flash my original firmware and lock the bootloader?.
Yes if you flash ORGINAL ROM (Android Version) for your device you can LOCK bootloader for your device.
Lock the bootloader at your own risk, this forum has a thread full of people who have bricked their device after relocking.
Phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back...
I wanted to help someone whose phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back, phone hangs on a red warning. And in the process of experimenting myself got confused and got into the same situation. Unlocking the bootloader...
forum.xda-developers.com
The stock roms found on lolinet won't boot after relocking and you'll loose the ability to flash anything else. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Also, you can't downgrade the bootloader. What this means is that if you flash older Android 11 stock image it may result in bootloop.
I have a G8 doha that was hard bricked a few years ago.. It did not show up in device manger at all, no matter how i tried. Not even the Qualcomm mode. This did happen after locking bootloader or change slot A/B. (Don't remember, sorry). The phone was totally dead, so it was just "archieved for later use".. Then one month ago i found a description on how to wake it up to qualcomm mode by shorting two points on pcb. I tried, and it did work. Phone showed up in device manager, and i flashed blankflash. After that i flashed stock rom. Phone is now working again. I had to do several tries to get it up running. The description on how to do it was not accurate, but i found a sequence to start it. Unfortunately i don't remember exactly. It is something with pushing/holding a button when connecting USB or shorting points on pcb.. Youtube link show how to do it..

Yes I relock my bootloader on the Moto g100 the North American version. Right after I did it I tried to set up my phone and it wanted my last four digit Google pin code and if you didn't do it fast enough it kept rebooting so for a half hour I tried everything under the sun Google kept asking me I want to try another way. But I have two step verification on my Google account so it couldn't send me the code over my telephone number so after a couple tries using the recover my account option underneath which asked you like personal information like your name and everything it finally gave me three options of three different Google emails I have. I got my unlock code and unlock the bootloader without using a PC or a computer. I used bugjaeger. The premium app is well worth the $10 it works super easy and super efficient

Hi everyone, to add some background I am fairly familiar with flashing this device as I have had it for 3 years and have done a lot of tinkering with it. However this does not mean I am good, and I have definitely soft bricked this phone a lot over the years, but today I think I finally hard bricked it.
Basically, I was using stock MIUI but with TWRP recovery and wanted to add my card to Google Pay, however it said my device was not secure (or something) so I thought it must be because I don't have fully stock MIUI. So I decided to see some way to return the stock recovery, and after doing 5 minutes of research I saw that I could flash the stock ROM and then through fastboot run "fastboot oem lock" which would reset it to stock. However I definitely did something wrong because after rebooting into recovery it says "The system has been destroyed, Press power button to shutdown", and the phone will not boot normally anymore.
You might now suggest that I should unlock my bootloader again through Mi account, but the problem is that I wasn't logged into my Mi account, so I think this is impossible. I have tried running "fastboot oem unlock", but that obviously returns an error when I tried.
Is there any hope to recover this device or is it gone forever? I would appreciate any advice. If you need more info please just ask.
Thanks!

Thanks for responding, I will try this as soon as I can get a different phone to receive the SMS for the Mi account. As for the recovery, I'm not really sure what exactly it is because as I said, when I try to boot recovery it just says, "The system has been destroyed".
Hi, I've found that tutorial, but for other Redmi model, still maybe helpful:

this is not helpful since u have locked bootloader, video is fake, it is just flashing fastboot rom by cmd nothing else.
Had this same problem a few months ago, just try to unlock the phone again using mi unlock. After unlocking quickly install a custom recovery and you should be good.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm in the process of trying to unlock with mi unlock however it says my account is suspended when I try to log in, I will be trying to recover it but I hope it will not cause any issues with unlocking the phone if I change the phone number as part of the recovery process.
Hello again, it would seem that I will not be able to unlock the Mi account that I used to unlock the device originally so I think I am out of options unfortunately. I will look into buying a new phone.
