fastboot flash boot boot2.img
fastboot reboot

and why on earth would you run dirty santa on a US996 when there is an official unlock method with no bugs like this?

Can't access to lge developper when you living in an other country (France). By a VPN, I solved this issue, I wrote IMEI it returns a non compatibility with my phone.
It was the only solution
Thanks @nkhater for the trick !

Mine is a little different, I am in the US, but still told me that my IMEI is not qualified for bootloader unlock, so this was my only method

HI, can you help me to unlock bootloader?
I have the same issue with the region, but when I use VPN the page colapse and return an error message.
You have to take a VPN software, install it on Windows and then browse in private.
You have to create an account and specify in Country "USA" and whatever you want on city
Contact me if you need more details

Excellent, thank you. At least it will now work for others.
a quick basic question
When you unlock the bootloader, don't they keep record of your device ID that it was unlocked? And your warranty automatically voids? I'm just wondering? Were you able to relock it? Did you send it to the service centre and got it repaired?

They'll know from the bootloader, it has a flag showing that it has been previously unlocked.
What do you mean by this?

According to EU Directive 1999/44/CE there is a statutory warranty on all electronics in the EU.
The only way to void it is if the manufacturer/seller can irrefutably prove that the user caused the defect. And the burden of proof is on them, not you.
There is an excellent explanation here: http://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html

Apparently the Moto G has three BL states. Locked, Unlocked and relocked. However relocked gives a "Locked - Status Code 2" flag. So unless you're sending it to a Motorola repair centre, they wont notice the difference.
Hi, as we know we dont have to unlock bootloader to rooting the phone. But on Honor 8 its only possible to have rooted phone by flashing supersu script by twrp.
So, anyway, you tried kingroot method? (Below link to download). Works on many phones. Then you can remove it by script to have supersu app.
Anyone to test?

I don't think one click root methods work for any newer phones since like Android 4.4 or maybe Android 5.0.
Anyway all you have to do is "fastboot oem relock bootloader xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (x represents your 14 digit unlock code you get from Huawei website) and your bootloader is relocked. Just remember every time you unlock or relock it factory resets your phone.

But when service will check the phone they will see bootloader status as relocked. So you will loss warranty.

Thank you sir I can confirm the flash_file.xml reference was followed in the commands. I double checked.
I LMSA says it can't verify my software and won't let me continue . I got the new september update and i think lmsa don't have it yet. idk why else it would say this.
bump. Anyone?
update: I Reflashed 3 times successfully only the SOFTWARE CHANNEL still shows Universal SKU
This picture i found from ebay is from the same model I have. Yet they have no metro bloatware and North America Retail under software channel, Mine says Universal SKU.

Your best bet is honestly to just either use a custom rom or to remove all the bloatware either manually or systemlessly.
Long Story - Short:
Just got home with an Unlocked sofiap XT2043 - Moto G Stylus , networked unlocked, and I am able to toggle the OEM Unlock switch in Developer Options, However:
how did y'all unlock the Bootloader to start with ?
fastboot flashing unlock = FAILED
fastboot oem unlock = FAILED
is there a method to discern my oem unlock code ?
Thanks in Advance for any assistance !

forum.xda-developers.com
Update> Currently I recommend this method only for unbrick, if you are going to change regions or install stock use this new method: Here
>> Need bootloader unlocked <<
If you want to unbrick or flash stock, you must download the package corresponding to your device and RUI version
1. Download the .zip package and extract the .ofp file
Packages:IndiaRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.07: DownloadRUI 3.0 Android 12 C.03: Download---------------EuropeRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: DownloadRUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download---------------ChinaRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: Download---------------Russia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other regionsRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.02: DownloadRUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download---------------
2. Download and Install OppoRealme-OFP-Flash Tool: Here
3. Place the extracted .ofp file in the same folder as the program.
4. Run OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
5. When running if you have placed only one .ofp file in the folder it will automatically select it.
6. Choose the region you want to install, if you don't know you can search on google country code, or go in automatic mode by adb (if your cell phone isn't bricked).
7. Then it will ask if you want to keep some partitions (if you're doing it for bootloader lock you can't keep any).
8. Accept the terms and then plug the device into fastboot mode.
9. Done!
Note: after this process if you want to lock the bootloader, restart again in fastboot mode and type the command "fastboot flashing lock"
At last! Thank you! Will try it as soon as I have some free time to do it!
One quick question please. So let's say I want to go from Europe to India rom. I need to unlock bootloader and start the process you described. Do I need to take backup any partition in order not to lose IMEI or something? And after flashing to relock bootloader only type "fastbook flashing lock"? Some people were saying there is no official method to relock the bootloader again that's why I'm asking.

almost that, you don't lose the imei, you lock the bootloader I've already tested and proven it, but I don't recommend doing it without the rom that comes on your device.if you want to test, but it can happen hardbrick.

You mean lock the bootloader with the rom that my device has already? So if it's europe it has to stay europe and do the lock if I understand correctly.

That's right, I don't know if blocking with a system from another region would work, it could even work, but it's risky to test, only if you have 10usd to pay for the hard unbrick.

Listen, the thing is that I wouldn't even bother to test another rom. I already have made a thread here asking for some help because I have problem with incoming caller ID on 4G/5G with VoLTE enabled. Since no solution has been found, even after contacting Realme, the next thing to try was another (stock always) rom to see if it would work. If I would try to change rom I have to be VERY careful because there are absolutely NO service centers of Realme in my country. That's why I'm asking these questions. I want to know how safe is to "transfer" from another rom and if it is posible to return to my stock rom again with locked bootloader.

It's with my tool, it's totally safe, and it's easy to return to your region of origin, she has some protection so that nothing serious happened.

Thank you man. Totally appreciate your effort. Just to be clear one last time. You can do w/e test you want by changing roms/regions with unlocked BL and then after if you want to return your phone to what it was from factory you flash again your initial rom and lock BL.

Sorry if I may ask for clearer steps. The steps is kinda vague like you did not mention anything that need to be prepared from the device. And, if we change to another region rom, do we get future OTA official update form realme? Thank you in advance.
