So i was given this phone, well i bought it broken for cheap and managed to fix it, im quite versed in htc/sony/samsung/LG procedures and this was my 1st moto device, i managed to load latest 5.1 image via mfastboot commands, and i found that i need to unlock the bootloader to flash twrp, when i go to bootloader it says device is LOCKED status code 0, does this mean its already unlocked? i went to moto site and did the whole get oem unlock procedure pasted it into the site and it said it cant be unlocked, this is a UK retails handset, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,
So i went to walmart a couple days ago and bought the virgin mobile Moto G. The first thing i did when i got home was root it. Turns out that the phone i got does not work for my plan. so i need to return it, and i'd like to make it completely stock for warranty reasons. The only problem is that i can't get the bootloader to relock. I've tried using the Windroid universal android tool and have followed this guide with the correct files for my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646415. Everything Went fine, phone is completely stock..but the bootloader still says its unlocked. Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

Scroll to the bottom of the post and you will find how to lock it again.
@eddie298 - Once Bootloader has been unlocked, it's permanent. Fastboot screen will always state unlocked, even if you do so-called 'OEM relocking' - Fastboot command:
fastboot oem lock
i just got the pixel and cannot unlock the bootloader i bought it off a guy who said he got it directly from google it is a real pixel but when i run the Fastboot Oem unlock command it just says waiting for device any help is greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE****
I Got the Bootloader to unlock my cable was bad is why .....
also had to boot into bootloader volume down and power.
Mod can delete if they want
Are you sure that's a Google version? It should be pretty simple with that. It's the Verizon version that might require additional steps

You flashed it using the flash_file.xml as a reference for flash commands?
These are my recommended steps If you have a Windows machine.

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.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...T_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC_R3_CFC.xml.zip Is the firmware I used to flash\
THanks in advanced!

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:

fastboot flashing unlock = FAILED
fastboot oem unlock = FAILED
is there a method to discern my oem unlock code ?
Thanks in Advance for any assistance !

I have a TracFone moto g pure (XT2163DL) running android 12, build number S3RHS32.20-42-13-2-1. I managed to get my oem unlock to show up and turned it on. First I tried using the Motorola unlock site to unlock my bootloader but it said it wasn't eligible. So then I tried using fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock" and a screen popped up telling me I can choose to unlock my bootloader and when I told it to unlock I received a message saying it was successful. But it isn't. It said it's unlocked but yet it is still locked anyway. I know TracFone has problems unlocking bootloader's but why would it let me get that far if it is impossible to unlock? Is there anything else I can do? If anyone knows something else I can try please point me in the right direction. I don't mind doing my homework after all that's how I learn but I'm just at a point where I need some guidance.please help me and always thank you so much for your time in advance...
If the bootloader reports unlocked, what makes you say it's still locked?

Nothing is wiped and it still says OEM secured on the fastboot page. The only difference now is when I try to reboot back into system it will first boot back into the bootloader again and then it will boot into system when I reboot a second time
ok so I have got a moto g pure (XT2163DL) with a tracfone bootloader and ive accepted that I cant find anyway so far to get my unlockable bootloader unlocked. I have looked and tried everything I could find without using a paid service which is probably what I need to do or just get another phone but first I have one more idea but I just dont know if it is even still possible or not. Can I use the cyanogenmod installer on my phone and unlock my bootloader and then switch back and keep an unlocked bootloader? Im running android 12. My oem unlock switch is not greyed out and it is set to unlock and even though I have tried using fastboot oem unlock and it said it was successful , it wasnt really unlocked afterall. motorola site just says my bootloader cant be unlocked. Is this a viable option?
