Nope

You won't get back your warranty and un-locking the bootloader again means a full system wipe, again. So make a backup first.
The only big advantage of a locked bootloader is the added security when the device falls into the wrong hands. That's a bit of a double edged sword since it also forbids easy data recovery in the case of defective hard- or software.

fastboot oem lock begin
When trying to run "fastboot oem lock," fastboot tells me to run "fastboot oem lock begin," first. In turn, that command tells me to fully flash the signed build before I can lock it.
I've tried flashing "LUX_RETCA_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52_cid14_subsidy-TELUS_CFC" from the filefactory repository, and I'm downloading "XT1563_LUX_RETCA_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC" now, which will take all day.
Does anyone know if either of those builds are signed? Or is there an official motorola repository that I should look for?
I got the phone with MM, so I don't know if a 5.1.1 image will count as signed for the purpose of relocking.
This phone has been such a headache, never buying a Motorola device again...

Don't tell like this. When you unlock bootloader , you are accept to void your warranty and there is no go back. Even relock your bootloader it will be shown as relocked and not shown as locked . This is my 5 th moto after e 1gen, g2gen,g3 turbo, g3gen. After nexus and opo , moto phones have good development than any others .

That's nice and all but it's been a headache for me. Voiding my warranty doesn't excuse faulty hardware, it just means that motorola can disown their sloppy product. It's still poor hardware and it still has nothing to do with rooting.

It is not poor hardware , if you use . It may not be the best, but definitely better than most of the available phones.

If my phone *doesn't work* because of hardware defects, then the hardware in it is of poor quality. It's not about how the phone stacks up to other devices. It's that the phone I paid for is defective. Not sure where the confusion arises.

Now you're arguing semantics. Poor hardware, faulty hardware, the thing remains that it's a crappy, broken device. Doesn't matter what label you want to slap on it, I can't afford another one, and they'll blame me for a problem that has nothing to do with root. So, it's bad.

I assume you were asking the OP, but I thought I would add my two cents as they may be helpful.
When trying to type "fastboot oem lock" and receiving the warning to type "fastboot oem lock begin" first, I was a little confused, as typing both in a row did not work. I presume that it's due to a difference in hardware model, (mine is having more than enough weird issues to make that a reasonable assumption.)
The solution was to type "fastboot oem lock begin," go through the commands in this post, then type "fastboot oem lock" at the end. I avoided the final two commands, and it still showed software status as modified, so perhaps including those as well would fix that. Either way, the bootloader status was set back to "Locked" (not "Relocked.") Hope that helps someone, as this POS refuses to charge and I may as well throw it in the trash!

Unfortunately your warranty is void due to your request for the unlocking code from moto. Your only hope is koodo has its own repair facility and the tech who tries to repair your device has no brains or desire to verify that your bootloader was unlocked.
We've all had from time to time issues with our devices , I've had 4 moto devices and not once have I had any issues with the build quality, moto x 2013, nexus 6, moto 360 and the moto play.

can you run the command

and if you get the key, carry out the process of entering the key in moto website and see if they mail you the unlock code again.

[BOOTLOADER UNLOCK] Sign the petition and help get our G4 bootloaders unlocked!

It's been previously posted before, but this needs to be shared more widely and thoroughly. This is the only somewhat way we've advanced in being able to unlock our bootloader, we NEED more people to sign this petition. If LG sees what we've done and how far we've pushed with this petition so far they have to consider it, or atleast give us a message back on everything. Even if they deny, this petition is still enough to get us noticed by developers and people much more well equipped to crack the bootloader and then release a tutorial or program able to do it for us.
If LG sends us a statement refusing to unlock the bootloader, then that's more than enough of a reasonable cause for other developers and people who can crack it to get involved. It would probably cause an uproar in the LG community here on XDA either forcing LG to reconsider, or encouraging other people to help us.
PLEASE SIGN! Lets make progress in getting our bootloader unlocked!

There has been many emails sent all the same. They have no intentions on unlocking any other g4s.
I know nobody wants to hear it but. I feel now that the g5 is out this is a outadate smartphone and i feel every company should provide unlocks for outdated and outa waranty devices. But hopefully some one figures somthin out on the g5 and it may work for g4 then but prob not. I wont say never but i most def aint buyin lg for a long time

I wont being buying LG either unless they make a very good quality phone again. But in all honesty this phone with the 60fps alone kills other phones completely. I own the S7 now along with the S6 edge and the camera on this with the 60fps mod is very comparable to the S7's. Only huge difference is stability and zoom. Im very happy with the G4 and its a great home use device for me, but the S7 is my daily. I would buy LG again but I need to see better build quality and more customization like S6 or S7.
To extend on the warranty thing you said. G4's are still very much under warranty lol I picked mine up early January. So they are still selling G4's out there meaning they wont lose warranty for at least another year, which could mean no bootloader unlock officially from LG until then but who knows in all honesty. Id like to work with a dev on this and get us unlocked but thats very hard to for free now a days.

i will stick with my H818N until arive Samsung Note 6 (dual-sim) ... then i wish to never hear about buying LG phone ....

Phone hardware manufacturers are only obligated to do a carrier unlock (usually called a SIM unlock) if you buy the device outright or if you complete your contractual obligation, and only for phones manufactured in 2013+. There is no requirement for them to unlock the bootloader.

Is Warranty Usable After Bootloader Unlock?

Has anyone been able to use the warranty after unlocking the bootloader and relocking it? I ask cuz mine has the random camera buzzing/non-focusing problem and while it isn't annoying right now, it might get worse. I am unsure yet if the bootloader is required to be unlocked to gain any useful features or installing LineageOS

For exactly that reason I re-locked my bootloader on my A2017G device. This camera buzzing / vibrating noise is happening to a lot of people.
Just my opinion. There are no ROMs for me that justify a Bootloader unlock since 7.1.1 is stable, fast, reliable and has good Hi-Fi Audio qualities.

It is not an issue of bootloader unlock that causes this.
The camera rotor/OIS is faulty and will be needed to be sent in for repair.

I am aware, hence my phone being completely stock and asking about whether anyone has proof re-locking a unlocked boot-loader can allow for keeping warranty lol

I unoffically unlocked my bootloader, relocked/loaded stock on the device and returned it with no issues.

Well that's a bit different though, because say a place like Newegg or BHPhoto don't know how to check, they just make sure it powers on and everything is in the package. Still appreciate the response.

Odd. So basically you contact them and ask for permission, or hope they're dumb and say you keep the warranty with the unlock and that's good enough?
Or did you unlock then relock, then try to use the warranty and they found out?

Thanks, I'd still like confirmation from a few others though just in case its not a fluke haha

I "officially" unlocked mine through the ZTE website (when it was offered).. I was notified that my warranty was voided before pressing OK and they stated that anything that unlocked the bootloader voided the warranty. But, if you do it unofficially and re-lock it, or get it through Amazon or NewEgg - How are they going to know, or even know what to check (at Amazon or NewEgg)?

That is true... i'm just cautious because my phone isn't perfect, I have the common camera problem. If it was fine and then down the line it developed, then w/e. But right now I Should exchanged it, it's just not big enough of a problem where I need to. And tbh I feel like it would just develop again, since so many people have it. If I see a S7 drop down around 350 I am just gonna get this fixed and buy a S7.

Hello people i open this thread for all people like me that for a mistake or not a good information hard bricked his smartphone, i see that a lot of user found in my same situation, so at this point is a case to found someone that can finaly unbrick this phone.
