Hi everyone.
So I am in a bit of a pickle. I unlocked bootloader and rooted phone few months ago. Phone started playing up. Did not have a backup, I know, stupid me... So had to do official install stock rom straight after booting phone. Another thing to point out, I have lost my unlock bootloader code and huawei have stopped giving them out. Now when I boot in fastboot it's noted as unlocked but the other one think protection something is locked. In developer options oem unlocking is greyed out. Every fastboot command comes back as failed. Tried reflashing twrp and its result is yet again failed. Twrp has gone after the new official rom update. Root has also gone. Any ideas would be really helpful. Tried dc unlocker but it's gone, lol. Thank you everyone.

Hello everyone!
I've had my m4 for about 5/4 years now and my battery has been getting worse more and more slowly for about 2 months now. Because I want to invoke my guarantee I tried to return the phone to stock rom from Insertcoin, unroot it and lock the bootloader. I flashed the stock rom from this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791725) thread and everthing was working fine. After that I went into fastboot and typed the command "fastboot oem lock", because I read so on the internet. Now there seems to be no rom or recovery on my phone anymore and everytime i reboot it just straigth goes into the bootloader. None of the tools I found on google worked so I thought somebody here could help me because I'm almost getting desperate.
I will also include a link to a photo of the bootloader, maybe it's helpful (https://www.dropbox.com/s/0j7830bw6mxjjrv/IMG_20150511_190346.jpg?dl=0).
Also notice that this is one of my first posts in this forum and english isn't my mother tongue.
I would really appreciate a fast but especially useful and relative easily written response.
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I would unlock the bootloader, fasboot oem unlock, and flash the stock firmware from the link you provided.
fastboot oem unlock error
I tried fastboot oem unlock but it just wrote "[ERR] Command error!!!". I also tried to unlock it via HTCdev again but the sites seems to be down, everytime i select my device and click on Begin Unlock Bootloader it opens this small window and says that the site is unavailable, I also tried it a few different times. Is there no other tool to unlock the bootloader or somehow get my rom started again, because I'm wondering why it's erasing or at least not giving me access to the rom that was perfectly working before anymore after locking the bootloader.
-Edit:
OK so i found out how to do it with HTCdev. I just had to create an account, log in and do exactly the same as before. I had to give it a few tries, but in the end it worked. Now my question is how I can relock my bootloader without causing the same again? I didn't find anything other than the cmd prompt fastboot oem lock so if maybe somebody could help me.
Thread closed.
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
So I installed twrp root on my Pixel and got annoyed at the fact my phone kept telling me to relock my bootloader. I did what it told me. But beforehand I decided to disable oem. I've researched for hours trying to figure out if I can enable it from CMD on PC but nothing works. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me.

You may need to reflash back to stock via ADB or you could try this thread to jumpstart OEM unlock again https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030
If you get back up and running just ignore that relock bootloader, I've never relocked it once root and twrp are installed, I'd only relock the bootloader if I've gone back to full stock.
Good luck

I opened up the developer options on my Moto G Stylus and went under OEM Unlocking and selected the allow the bootloader to be unlocked option. That was either last week or a few weeks ago because I wanted to root it and put a custom rom on it. I didn't rooted it yet because I'm not sure what roms are good, I only had cyanogin mod roms on my other phones and I'm not sure which rom is the safest and best to use so I still use the stock rom. I turned on Pandora to play music before I went to sleep. When I woke up my phone was in some kind of recovery mode and said something like the operating system failed to boot. Two options were available, 1- to try booting again, and 2-factory reset the phone which would erase all data. I selected 1, and my phone booted up. Could this be because the bootloader is unlocked? Does having the bootloader unlocked leave it suspectable to being hacked? Could my phone have been hacked?
Switching OEM Unlocking is not enough to unlock, you then must on motorola unlock webpage paste code from your phone and, wait for unlock code in email, via fastboot with this unlock code doing finaly real umlocking...

Would selecting the bootloader option to be unlocked in the developer options make my phone more vulnerable to be hacked?
A few hours later my phone did the same thing and went into recovery mode saying that my phone could not load the OS and might be infected or something. I had the same options to either try to load the OS again or factory data reset the phone. How could this happen?
I factory data reset my phone this time. I just hope I don't have some kind of malware.
Mine was hacked like this. Changed stuff so it won't boot back to original. Got into system files and remote control my phone. Is there a way to get back to original without computer? It's useless now
Hi, I found my old Asus ZenFone 4 Max hard bricked from last time when I lock the bootloader after installing lineage OS. I leave the phone abandoned around 6 months since I already feel hopeless.
First I unlocked the bootloader, then flash lineage os recovery then lineage os.
After completing flashing lineage os, I locked the bootloader and it can't be unlocked anymore.
I tried to unlock the bootloader again but it receives an error. (Forgot the error long ago). Tried to flash stock ROM or recovery with bootloader locked also can't.
Send to service center probably cost more then the phone value, since it's not very good condition (screen crack) and old device.
Is there any way to solve it?
Thanks
Also, it can't be used any more. Stuck on fastboot screen but can't unlock bootloader.
