ok i know there are some tutorials here but i want to share my guide
this is a guide wich explains how to lock the bootloader
ok with these u will lose all ur data or apps so please make a backup first
the status code will not return to 0 but to 2 (i have no solution for this -if someone could help me)
1 first go here and download ur firmware
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
2 extract the firmware on desktop or where u want and rename to X or how u want.
3 after u extract go into the folder and search for Windows folder.Copy the 3 files on X folder
4 download these files
http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/60108039/file.html
extract and copy the files in X folder
delete flashall.bat from X folder if u have one if not don t do nothing
5 put ur phone in fastboot .Power off ur phone.Then power on and volume down together.after 3-5 seconds let the power button.
u will be in bootloader mode
6 go in ur X folder and double click on Flash Moto G.bat
7 if Windows 8 request ur admin privilege just say ok
9 wait
10 when all finish the phone will reboot
wait untill the phones is on.Power off again and put one more time in fastboot mode.Then with power button just click on Normal Power up and it will flash ur logo for removing the bootloader warning
11 done ur bootloader is locked
for me works let me know if works for u
thanks to toco93 for help
And if I want to upgrade my Android Version, can I just flash the firmware in a recovery?
Or do I need to extract it and
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
etc.
EDIT: Thank you !
Worked for me.
Doing this we recover again our warranty?
Thanks!!

Technicaly (for Motorola) you can`t restore warranty after requesting a unlock_code and unlocking your bootloader with it. They may still deny warranty even if you relocked the bootloader.

Requesting the unlock code does not mean you will use it. Obly way to prove that is by the unlocked message screen

Is it clear now?
The question is... Is possible for Motorola to know that you have unlocked the BL if it is locked when phone goes to warranty?
You can have requested an unlock code, and haven't used it...

True but i think once you unlock your device using the unlocked BL code it stays in their database so they should be able to tell if your phone has been unlocked or not.

When is my warranty voided?
Your device warranty will be voided as soon as an unlock code has been generated through our online tool, regardless of whether you actually unlock your device.
Please do not request a bootloader unlock code unless you have read and accepted the terms of our legal agreement.

Wrong. Warranty void is still to No. Specially in EU, impossible to void warranty only for asking that code. If you don't use it the bl is still the same. No change on it. No warning message. No fuse burned. Come on...
Agree, silly and illegal, but if Motorola deny my warranty what can i do? Go to a court?

The problem is "transitive property" or "consecutio temporum".
The OFFICIAL thinking motorola about this: IF i ask the code, AUTOMATICALLY then i will unlock the bl. OFFICIALLY IS THIS, because they don not cover the other "street":
IF i ask the code, I asked simply a code. STOP. No other. There is not a "transitive property" for that if i ask a code then bl unlocked. Only this last exists for Motorola, and it's right in this sense, it's logic.
But the real life is different: IF i ask the code, I asked simply a code. STOP. So It's impossible that warranty can be void from them only for "asking the code". There is no change on phone and so on... In EU especially.

I have actually no problem with that what you are saying. I see it in a similar way. But logic and law is sometimes not very close to each other. I don't wanna go toooo off topic but how is it with computer games? You can buy a Game but it is not yours. You have often only the license to use it. This is also somehow strange and does not fit in my logic.
I understand that in the EU we have a big benefit because of our law to these things but are you a lawyer and can you be so sure about that what you are saying? Especially for the rest of the world? Have you read the complete license agreement? Sure, maybe the license agreement is futile........i hope so I'm not worried in any way......but just my 5 cents.
Hi there,
I want to lock my bootloader. I followed your guide and other guides too but when cmd comes to the step : " fastboot oem lock " It gives me the error : "(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.047s]
finished. total time: 0.048s "
And my Status Code is still 3. Does somebody knows why I get this error ? As I already said this is not the first method I tried but all failed.
Thanks.

Hi!
I got an X10, but I had problems with the SIM.
It is, that when I put the SIM, start the device normally, and it shows "No Service". Flash the latest firmware through SEUS, and still the same. I thought it might be bad flash and lost their IMEI, or something, but at least to check your IMEI by code * # 06 # My IMEI is no problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
PD: Sorry for my English, Google Traductor that helped me a lot
Couple reasons it might not be working, not enough info about the phone....
1) Wrong network and not sim unlocked?
2a) Your X10 went through a bad bootloader unlock.
2b) Read this and this
2c) download this to check if it is sim-locked/unlocked. Note simlock / bootloader status
Report findings back here so someone can help you further.

I went S1tool status, but apparently nothing more than bad news
The device was going to be flashed, but the person failed in the attempt. I passed him for settlement, but I know that you can recover
Great, so you can easily unlock via setools, or some people actually had success relocking then unlocking a couple times using different qsd / setool unlock mentioned in above links. Easiest way is going to setool website. I also recommend EWjet kernel and rom combo from my xperiance

setool2: sim unlock service. look at your attachment, there is a link to it on S1tool. Also can go here and ask question to the_laser about sim-unlocking your phone the correct way.
After correct sim-unlocking, you can unlock bootloader and your phone will work on any GSM network.

Hi people I didn't know whether to post this in the android development forum so I posted it her.
Soooooooo.......... For people that are confused when they dial in *#*#7378423#*#* and they find out that it says boot loader unlock allowed:no.
I am just going to clarify a few things. Don't worry its not the end of the world you can still unlock your bootloader. thats the good news. The bad news is that it will require you to pay some money. You are probably having this problem because:
a) Your phone is sim locked
b) You are using the R800at or R800X if so then get out of this forum!!!!!!!!
So to solve this problem you will have to sim unlock your xperia play although, you MUST use a software that uses the phone's testpoint to sim unlock the phone e.g. Omnius any other unlocking method used that does not use the phone's testpoint will NOT work.
Once you have done that taaa daaaa!!!! now when you go into the service menu it should say bootloader unlock allowed.
Although your not done yet, now you will have to unlock your bootloader this is FREE to do in fact sony ericcson offers the instructions how to do it themselves. Here is the link to the instructions:
unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
Since i'm a new member xda not letting me put in any hyperlinked links.
Make sure you know the risks of unlocking it!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

No i'm just saying this because the requirements to unlock the bootloader on the se website says make sure it says boot loader unlock allowed: yes
I haven't tried using fastboot or anything this was just for people that were stuck here in unlocking their boot loader i was just sharing that it changes to yes when you take off the sim lock and i know it is possible to unlcok the bootloader of it even though it says its not the steps i have given does unlock the bootloader as i myself have tested it on my friend's o2 locked phone.
On my phone it says
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes
so do i have to pay money to unlock it or what?
I'd like to try and root it.
My phone was originally locked to O2, I got it sim unlocked from them and i still have bootloader unlock allowed:no ...
You have to do TEST POINT METHOD!
This Unlockes your Sim lock i think as well as fastboot which you need to unlock,
sim locked phones are branded and have Blocked Fastboot with a Unknown Patch the Bypass is test point method however you Must Not ever Update VIA PC companion or OTA Doing so = a brick.
If you want to pay up the money go to Aljendrissimo he has proven 12,000+ people with SE phones Bootloader Unlocked with OTA fix ans Pc companion which means you can have the ICS update but its got the sony suite

If it says bootloader unlock allowed:yes then you don't need to pay to unlock your bootloader just go to the link I put up and follow the instructions.
Also,on the other comments yes this does indeed has to be done through test point method which is very easy many sites do this, I used cellunlocker.net's se unlocking software to unlock mine. I also checked yes by doing the testpoint method it also,gives you the option to unlock the bootloader I do recommend omnius because you can by a android unlock liscense for just 10 pounds but to clarify you DO need your sim unlock to be done through test point so you can be able to unlock the bootloader

It has been broken down for you on the first page, if you do use the test point method then you can't do OTA updates which means, you can't officially update your play when offical updates come out but it's not all bad as you will be able to flash the offical update with a FTF with the flash tool. It is recommended to use the test point method.

No I don't think that is true because you cannot do OTA updates only if you have a locked boot loader i'm not sure where you got your info from mate but i'm pretty sure all the test point method does is sim unlock your phone and does something to make the bootloader unlock possible and that is what I m trying to find out- what it does to make the bootloader show yes .
I have confirmed with various trusted sources if you are still able to update even if you are sim unlocked with test point and they are saying yeah only if you haven't unlocked the bootloader.

I wanna share my experience with my locked bootloader.
I tried once to unlock and install a "just 4 unlocked" rom (2 roms actually) but the radio system didn't work (no phone, no wifi, no gps).
I got back by flashtools, i installed a rom 4 locked rom and i tried once more to unlock the BL. I installed CM10.1 and now everything is working perfect!!!
I got just a question 4 you: why does some xperia z has the BL locked while others unlocked?

All Xperia Zs come locked from the factory. Most can be unlocked to flash custom roms. Some are permanently locked because their carriers are iffy (to put it nicely), but those are the minority.
Keep Questions in the Q/A section, not in General.
And No SONY device comes with locked Bootloader always. All are locked by default from the factory. Among which some can be unlocked and some can not because the Carrier.

Ok, but my gadget showed "no in Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status > Bootloader unlock allowed (and in the post about unlock BL they says that if it's "no" the device cannot be unlocked).
Thank you
PS: How can i move the 3d to Q/A ?
That is what I said.
All the Devices are locked bootloader by default.
Bootloader unlock allowed= Yes -- This means you can unlock the bootloader by following regular method.
Bootloader unlock allowed= NO -- This means you can not unlock the bootloader. Because of the Carrier issue i believe.

did you root it and put a different ROM on there? the status might change say no but you can still unlock it. Simply put if first time you boot up your phone and it say Unlock bootloader = NO, then dont try to unlock it. When you root and flash a different rom that status might change to yes but in reality it still a NO

Eventually a right answer.
I was told the same. But i love to risk "playing" with my gadgets. So when i bought the xperia z through a carrier I saw the first time i boot up that the phone Unlock bootloader = NO (about 5 minutes after i bought it from the shop, so it was "original as the carrier made it).
I didn't care it and i tried to unlock. I installed a unlocked bootloader and rom and i had all that problems with the radio stuff . But the second time, after i recovered it by flashtool and a sw from sony (i don't remember the name) I was allowed to unlock it and install unlocked stuff. Now I am with Paranoid and I am so happy

same here... unlock it. install all the unlocked stuff. Radio might don't work. . Get ur phone back by flashtool and sony sw (i don't rememmber the name). The sony software will say u after a while u r not able to recover the phone cuz you are using some some software that is not sony. Don't worry and install another time a rom unbranded by flashtool.
now unlock the phone again and install everything u might like
There is only a problem with the twrp recovery, so use only the other one

I think if you want others to try what you've done, (and it is interesting if we can unlock bootloaders this way)
then you may want to highlight which steps you did in more detail.
Which roms did you try to flash that resorted in no radio functions?
which rom did you try to flash with flashtool? which version of flashtool as well?
Did you do anything else?
I somehow doubt engineers would make an oversight as big as this one.
But fingers crossed nevertheless.

Hi.
Somewhere, I've read that after relocking the Bootloader, one can see that it was unlocked before. Is that really so?
Can someone tell me what the Bootloader status says, after relocking?
I don't want to run that procedure just to be able to see what the status is.
Thanks in advance

According to some, it would be a security measure.
Yes, I understand that the warranty is gone the moment I agree to that on Motorola's site even if I never actually use the code and unlock the phone. The question is from curiosity, really.

Technically, asking for a code doesn't mean you've used it, so it's not a proof of anything.

it doesn't have to be. It is when you request the code that you sign away your warranty. It is in the not-so-small print.

Seems like you're right. They're cheeky bastards
Will OTAs be Installable if we relock?
Relocking the phone won't give your warranty back for 2 reasons.
1) When you have unlocked your device you have asked a code to Motorola (and they have stored your device as unlocked)
2) If you watch on botloader there is a bootloader status (or something similar) that report code 3 (unlocked) and not 0 (not unlocked). If you relock your device the status code remain 3, so it continue to say it was unlocked. Relocked the bootloader haven't any utility (a locked device is a bit more secure but wipe your data everytime for a bit more security isn't so useful and if you want to reunlock it you have to ask the code to Motorola again (IDK if fastbot oem unlock is enought or not)).

So if I root it I will lose the warranty ? You sure ?
Yes you loose warranty. If you unroot it, you will have your warranty back.
To unroot, you must reflash the original software.
Unlocking bootloader won't affect warranty.

On another forum some guys said that when u unlock the BL the Huawei has this info (that u unlock it ) and u lose your warranty. I think always when you root you phone you lose .. Huawei just have this info about your phone .. is that real ?

In my country, if you unlock your bootloader, it won't affect warranty...because the people at the service unlock your bootloader so they can fix the stuff that you encounter.

Which country do you live
when i asked for bootloader code, there was some mesaage with, "unlocking will void warant" .. and jeah, they can see, if you are requested bootloader code.. and jeah, waranty are lost if you change software as it wasnt intend. but flashing stock room will lock bootloader and will unroot phone, so warranty need to be back, but thats only theory. better dont try things with phone, if dont know what you are doing!

Yes
If you unlock the bootloader, you can easily root your phone. Did they install TWRP/CWM or any other custom recovery? Can you check it?
