Hi guys, I will appreciate if someone can help me. The things is:
I erase system.img from recovery and I backup from XT1706. After I found a site with stock XT1700 rom I downloaded last version which is the S503 I used SP Flash Tools and everything goes well. But when I tried to unlock Bootloader again adb windows said: This operation is not allowed. I tried everything but I wasn't able to unlock Bootloader again. So I downloaded the first version (S116) and surprisingly I could unlock Bootloader. But I get no notification of OTA updates it says that phone has the last version which is not true. Any ideas of what could be happening here? Thanks of hand for you help.
If you downloaded the ROMs from http://motorolastockrom.com/motorola-moto-e3-xt1700 then I suspect the problem is the ROMs have locked boot loaders. I tried installing the S503 version and the S302 version and had the same problem as you. In the end I ended up installing an XT1706 firmware and was able to unlock the bootloader, but sadly it is the same release date and adroid patch version as the XT1700 ROM I was on to begin with (S124)

Hello,
I want to relock the bootloader and go back to stock.
I tried flashing stock firmware using fastboot.
fastboot oem lock begin
flashed stock firmware
fastboot oem lock
But Bootloader is still unlocked.
I got message as first flash full stock system. Something like that. Don't remember as I tried this a week ago.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Edit : I also tried the Windows tool provided by one of the members but it failed too.
I used the same to unlock in the first place.
I think it depends on what you want to achive. While you might be able to re-lock the bootloader (which means it can't be flashed without being unlocked again), you will never ever get rid of the unlock message again. This - to my understanding - is an efuse which is permanently set. If you want to remove the unlocked bootloader boot message, I'd stay unlocked and would just flash a different boot logo (logo.bin) where the unlocked gfx are replaced with the standard gfx thus showing the standard boot logo.
I would like to relock the bootloader altogether.
I don't think you can. You can lock it but you can't remove the warning that it has been tampered with.
I don't care about the warning.
I just want to re-lock it.
Flashing the Official firmware for my Country - India did the job.
Last time I tried with firmware for ASIA.
I don't see any reason for that to fail but you never know.
Thanks for replying.
hey can you give me the link for that rom im also using the indian version but unable to lock the bootloader
I installed the bootloader unlock app and tried to unlock

next ... After unlocking the bootloader of my g4 plus bike, I made the installation of the rom and an update arrived via ota ... I placed to make the installation and after made the cell phone hung up and did not call any more ... then I did the blankflash and the mobile came back in fastboot mode with the boot blocked again, now I can not install any rom and nor unblock the boot by not having the option oem unlock checked ... my question is the following have some way to enable the option unlock boot without starting the system, by adb or something, or do the installation of some rom with the boot blocked? Thank you very much in advance
Which ROM did you flash onto your device?
As far as I understand, you cannot enable the OEM unlocking option without booting to system, and as your bootloader is set to OEM_locked by the blankflash, you need to flash the stock ROM firmware to get your system working.
I'd suggest looking into flashing the latest stock ROM firmware, follow this unbricking guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761
If that doesn't work, then you may have to wait for a newer firmware or submit your device for an expensive service repair.
For future reference, if you did flash an older stock ROM firmware, please delete that and only flash stock ROM firmware as new or newer than your bootloader. If you do want to flash older stock ROM firmware, do not use OTA updates please. Old OTA updates corrupt your bootloader and thus lead to a hard brick.
I updated to Pie today using OTA. This resulted in a bootloop. Since my bootloader was already unlocked, I booted TWRP (not flashed) and swapped slots. This resulted in booting to the recovery "no command" prompt instead. So I downloaded the only ROM Xiaomi has on their site - 8.1 - and flashed this with the "flash_all_except_storage" script. Still bootloops, only now the bootloader is relocked.
So, anyone know how to unlock the bootloader on a non-booting Android One device? Is there an EDL mode on these?

Seriously? No one reads thread online?! I quote to NEVER, EVER, FLASH OREO/NOUGAT ROMS AFTER UPDATING TO PIE!!!
I downloaded the latest OFFICIAL ROM when it was already bootlooping.... Seriously? I'm supposed to go searching online for 3rd party information rather than the official?
Now how about people with useful information instead of arrogance?
If I'm not wrong you just need to boot into bootloader and fastboot oem unlock. With unlocked bootloader, go fastboot mode and flash official stock pie fastboot rom
I had hardbricked my devices while installing an OTA update and the device was Hardbricked .
I blank flashed the device and it booted and bootloader.
Now the problem starts here.
I flashed the OEM_Lock.bat as I wanted to relock the bootloader. I'm not sure what went wrong but the flash didn't complete and stuck in middle.
The problem remains here is it shows
Fastboot Reason: Failed to initialize partition table
I am unable to flash anything now. Recovery.img fails, bootloader.img fails, twrp flashing fails.
Nothing flashes as Bootloader is locked.
I went to Motorola Service Centre. They also couldn't do anything and simply said that their software doesnt read the phone.
Is there anyone whoe can really help me out with anything left to do?
Any method to force flash recovery, even twrp?
Phone is detected as Fastboot athene_16mp S in computer. It doesnt detect as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
What firmware are you attempting to flash?
Your device looks like it's still on the blank flash provided bootloader, which means you have to flash at least the GPT and bootloader. The lack of a serial number and the generic identifier implies you have not been able to flash an actual GPT and bootloader. Also, OEM_locked is normal until you get an actual bootloader flashed over the blank flash bootloader, which usually means trying to flash a GPT and bootloader at least as new as the latest version you had on your device (regardless of downgrades).
I'd suggest downloading the latest Nougat stock ROM we have from here. Do not use any of the scripts at this time.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
Unzip the file, delete any old stock ROMs from your ADB folder and copy over the new stock ROM. Try to flash just the GPT and bootloader then reboot to fastboot. See if you reboot into a fastboot screen with details.
If you do, I would proceed to flash the rest of the new ROM without locking your bootloader. If your device boots then, then you can reflash with the locking commands.
Edit - also, this post probably is better suited to the Q and A section...

The files in mentioned firmware did the trick. It flashed GPT and Bootloader and showed the needed info.:highfive: After that I flashed the same firmware via fastboot commands and device has booted to the stock 7.0 - Bootloader Unlocked. How crazy was I to ignore the proper files to flash? I probably tried 100 times to flash files (wrong once for sure). Thanks alot though for providing the link and instructions. :silly:
Now one last thing, should I flash OEM_Lock file to lock the bootloader so that I can get the lastest Oreo update? I might even think fo selling the device after locking the bootloader. Need your genuine opinion on this as well.

Eh, you live and learn. Besides, you've now got your device running now!
Honestly, it's up to you. Having a locked or unlocked bootloader will not affect your ability to receive OTA updates - you should still receive updates so long as your firmware matches your software channel (and since your device was XT1643, the NPJS25.93-14-18 April 2018 security update should be the correct firmware). At this moment in time, you'll have to use the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware to re-lock your bootloader - we don't have the stock Oreo firmware at this time. Thus, if you update to stock Oreo, you will not be able to re-lock your bootloader until you can get a leak of the Oreo firmware.
If you're selling, I'd choose to re-lock the bootloader. Else, a potential buyer who is not used to flashing custom ROMs might wonder if there's any tampering with the device (the bootloader unlocked warning, to someone not used to flashing custom firmware, might scare off potential buyers).
Back to Locked Bootloader, complete stock.

I am back to Locked Bootloader as feel the same as you said that anyone buying might get scared by looking the warning sign. Thanks for helping out. :highfive:
Oreo Update via OTA has already started rolling out as per the news I've been reading. I just wanted to see the oreo 8.1 before I sell the phone.
Anyways I got a new device now, Realme C1, 3|32GB as my smartphone usage has declined a lot recently and might remain similar. This device will suffice my requirements.
Thanks for the help and support. :victory:
