Full unroot and re-lock bootloader - Moto E General

I need to know about the full process to unroot and re-lock bootloader process and also is this necessary to lock bootloader for OTA update? Help me please

Unroot is required, bootloader lock is not required.
Read this post.

If I have flashed moto e stock android so do I need to do anything else for the ota update?

If you flashed stock ROM, did not flash a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) and did not root, then you can receive OTA updates. Bootloader lock/unlock does not matter.

Custom recovery is installed so I have to use firmware?

If you flashed the stock ROM then you already have stock recovery, UNLESS after you flashed the stock ROM you then flashed a custom recovery.

I have flashed zip ROM using custom recovery

You have to install stock ROM using this or this guide. Finding the stock ROM for your device variant is not easy, in my case i had to request for it in this thread (stock ROMs used to be here but they are not there any more).

Thanks nd last think can u provide me rom link which actually works?

My variant is XT1021, yours must be XT1022 as you are from India, so i can't share my stock ROM with you.
You could request stock ROM for your variant at firmware-team.com or droidevelopers.com but sadly both are no longer online. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53619330&postcount=35).
Post a request for your stock ROM in this thread and hopefully @lost101 can help you out.

I tried locking the bootloader in the past, to test if it works, there was an error "sst lock failure" (i retried several times, always the same error).
I searched for a solution and didn't find anything that works, i believe that after unlocking the bootloader on a Moto device there is no way to lock it.

Some report that they locked it successfully, others report that they weren't able to lock it, as i wrote above in my case locking the bootloader wasn't possible.
I found mentions of the "sst lock failure" error in many XDA threads for all Moto devices (Moto E, G, X), so it's not only the Moto E that is affected by this issue.

back to stock recovery and stock rom 4.4.4, locked bootloader is not required to OTA update.

But if we update our device with an unlocked bootloader then it bricks

bootloader can be locked but still the irritating bootloader unlocked startup flash screen remains. You can lock the bootloader but it gets the device status 3 instead of 0. which means your warranty has been voided completely.

You can't. You have to be booted in order to unlock it. Try to flash the last version that you were on, then redownload the KK fxz

Is Motorola allowing the M to be officially unlocked now? Last I knew you couldn't unlock the BL if you had upgraded past 4.1.1, Motorola had fixed the security loophole that allowed the M to be unofficially unlocked.

Yup . I have an M running KitStalk 4.4.4, but you have to either take the OTA or flash the KK FXZ. Plus, you' might have to because Custom ROMs are starting to update their kernels. I know for a fact that the CM11 nightlies are on the latest kernel.

That security hole is back in action on the KitKat update. It is still an exploit, so it isn't "officially unlocked," but it is certainly unlocked! Go to the KK update, get TowelRoot, root your device, get Motopocalypse (APK works fine!) and unlock that thing!

Zenfone 5 random freezing on every Lollipop ROM

I faced random freezing on every Lollipop rom I tried in my phone (RR, CM, Stock, Gecko), with bootloader unlocked, and with bootloader locked, and tried with various kernels too. I can't use Lollipop on my device because this problem, typically occurs when I'm on Youtube or when I'm charging the phone, but occurs when I'm using the phone normally. Anyone else have this problem?
For more details, my model is Zenfone 5 A501CG 1.6 Ghz 8GB
give details of your phone..
boot to bootloader and write its version..
may be you have installed wrong version bootloader..
many people have faced this problem after bootloader unlock..
Search the forum..
solution is available..

Every time I return to stock, I use the downgrade tool to 2.21.40.44, and re-lock my bootloader with correct file from rom, and flash stock fastboot and recovery. Even with locked or unlocked bootloader, system keeps freezing randomly, in stock or in custom roms...
on which version are you currently on.. are you on kk . 44 ? ? ? ?
are you on stock..
provide your phone details..
can't help you if no details are available..
---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------
random freeze is generally associated with incorrect bootloader unlock or incorrect root..
many tools which unlock bootloader change your base version..
and many tools which re_lock bootloader will keep the changed version..
I had same issue..
I found out correct version of my bootloader..
then made sure that my locked bootloader was back to correct version..
I had to unlock & lock my bootloader many times with many different tools to finally get to correct version..
hope you understand what I am trying to say..
hope this helps..

Currently I'm using AICP ROM, with bootloader unlocked by Unlock_relock program, it's freezing less now, much more less than in stock. How i can discover the correct base version of my phone? I've tried different methods to unlock my bootloader, but the freezing never stops. And even if I relock, in stock ROM still freezes. I'm facing this problem since the first version of official Lolllipop (3.23.40.52)

Before doing all this u need to revert back to stock KK firmware or even stock lolipop.I recommend stock lollipop.For both u can find instructions here http://www.windroidica.in/2015/07/how-to-revert-back-to-stock.html?m=1.After doing the above mentioned procedure then u should run the root.bat(ur phone will reboot many times) and then unroot.bat(again ur phone will reboot many times).This fixes the issue mostly

Go to stock kitkat.Cause the root tool works best for that.After u have done that and fixed the freeze problem then u can update to stock lp firmware( need to update to bridge kk firmware first)

I will try that too. But in zip from AICP ROM there's no dnx or ifwi files. But it's a RR/CM based ROM, so I think the dnx and ifwi files from RR will work with that.
Try going back to firmware you were on out of the box. Remember to relock bootloader.. It will say secure image when u flash locked bootloader and kernel.. Then use any of devs unlocker here and flash again.

Follow the above links I've provided. First you need root then unlock bootloader then TWRP recovery. After that you can install any ROM/kernel for Z00L devices. I've flashed every available ROM for our device and can help anyway I can.

You'll need the Stock N firmware to do that. Wait a few days/weeks and someone might upload it and post it here.
After that, you can use fastboot to flash the stock image, relocking BL in process.

Why would you do that? Warranty is gone anyway - when you have requested the bootloader unlock code from Moto, they keep that request on file.

I no longer need my bootloader to be unlocked so relocking is the best option for me

That is not correct.
'Official' status will be shown as long as you don't modify the system or boot partitions.
Unlocking bootloader is an official feature offered by Motorola (though it voids warranty) so that does not do anything to the status.

2nd post told how to solve the problem. Flash the factory firmware...then take an OTA. You can have system less root and it still say official. Once you change something on the system partition or flash TWRP it will say modified.

The point is definitely to solve the problem, which is why we are helping each other here right?
But giving unnecessary instructions will not solve it either. If you don't have a solution, it's best to educate someone on what the implications of the situation is
Unlocking, Custom Recovery, Systemless Rooting.. These do not change it to modified, but changing in system, oem or other partitions do (debloating, xposed or i dont remember all)
According to me, that status doesn't matter, nowhere in daily use...
Best & only way to make it official is to Downgrade to lower version of official ROM than available by OTA (as now available ROM is NPJ25.93-14 install NPJ25.93-11 or lower, not '25.93-14' )
Than you will receive OTA update to latest one '25.93-14' and completing that will result in official status...
NOTE: Installing update by zip, (available here) will not do anything.. And versions that i mentioned are of INDIAN variant, so check & take care of outside variants...
