Bootloader unlocking problem

Yesterday i visited moto care centre and they flash firmware. Thereafter I tried to unlock my bootloader at home with my previous unlock code but show error with key. I requested on motorola site to get bootloader code again by entering oem get unlock data but it shows bootloader cannot be unlocked. Before yesterday I lock and unlocked bootloader several times but now after service centre visit it is not unlocking. Searched other thread but none works even tried to contact motorola but they also have no idea.

I am not toooo good but i guess the passkey is changed correct me if i am wrong and i am not sure abt it

The data string u get while typing
"fastboot oem get unlock data" might be changed.
Do the complete process again by getting that string and putting it on the Moto site and get the unlock key on your mail. Maybe there would be a different key this time.

Already did that.. But now at moto site after putting unlock data it is showing not available for unlocking..

Make sure you connect your Google account to Motorola account in phone settings.,..and allow unlocking bootloader in developer settings....

Exactly. Your Moto I'd should be logged in.
I was facing this issue your device not available for unlocking. And when I signed in it was all fine. Try that out.
That's all I know.

It was due to server error of moto.. Continuously submitting the unlock data for 6-7 times solve the problem

How do i know if the bootloader is unlocked?

i just recently bought this phone off from a friend's family member , it had oreo beta 2 installed and i updated it to orea beta 3. ive seen posts that says if u have oreo beta it means u have the bootloader unlock. just wanna double confirm

If it's unlocked you'll get a message telling you so whenever you boot the phone.

If you updated it to the Oreo Beta 3 OTA then your bootloader is locked. OTA updates won't work otherwise

That's not exactly accurate.
An unlocked bootloader does not prevent an OTA. If you are rooted the OTA won't work.
An unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with it.

Also, I havent tested with this device but usually with other phones
fastboot oem device-info
Tells if the device is unlocked.
Otherwise you could try the command
fastboot flashing unlock
If the phone prompts you with a confirmation if you really want to unlock the bootloader, then I am guessing it isn't.

Just boot to the bootloader to check.
With the device of hold down the power and volume down together.
Also on a reboot if the screen says it's not secure then it also means it's unlocked

Did you by chance purchase the Amazon-exclusive variant of the device (with the ads to reduce the price)? They're both the same, except you can't unlock the Amazon version's bootloader.
Also, try opening developer options (tap the build number 7 times, press the back key, and then the new developer options menu that appeared) and then enabling the "OEM unlocking" option. Then try unlocking the bootloader again via fastboot.

Moto G6 Plus can't flash OEM Relocked

Hi, I need help with my evice, I used a script founded in a thread here to flash stock rom 8.0 oreo, but that locked the bootloader now I cant unlock it because when phone starts im stuck on oreo wizard with no wifi or data to acces oem unlock in developer settings, is there any way to skyp this wizar or to flash with locked bootloader, wherever i tried to flash another frimware i have the error mesage, Bootloader "Permission Denied".
Thanks in advance!
sorry bad spelling, is not my native lenguage.

You can skip the wizard with just giving it ok everywhere and it will eventually end
For the unlocking here's a tool to share internet from pc to your phone

Even if you get past the wizard, you still wouldn't be able to re-unlock the bootloader. It would stay gray forever. The only solution now is to get your phone hard bricked so you can enter edl mode and re-unlock it. You need either a deep flash cable, or short the 2 connection JTAG points from the motherboard. I'm on the same boat, but never got to do this to confirm if it works.

NO, you can pass the wizard with no internet connection, I did it several times on my evert, just keep saying yes to everything (unless you frp locked which would be weird since is not by default enabled) Once you pass the wizard use the tool I provided previously to unlock bl

yes i did, still i get stuck half way thru on odin when i was trying to install twrp

So in your bootloader after pressing up(short click not long), on the upper screen does it say Oem lock = true or false?
If it says oem lock = off it sounds like you have to flash vbmeta in AP so you can flash unofficial binaries. Sorry if I can't follow your problem correctly, just trying to figure out if you just failed at some point or if something really is going wrong... This phone should unlock really easily.
Also may I ask which guide you are following?
Edit: Saw your post on the TWRP thread. So it seems your bootloader is unlocked! As long as you can boot to it you are fine, don't worry!
Get your firmware from frija, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-checker.3910594/
Make sure you get the right Firmware (Look at your phones box if you still have it, CSC should be at the end of the Model number, also my Box says its a M30FZ even tho it's a M30FN).
After you're back to running firmware and still wanting to install magisk, follow santooshs TWRP thread's install guide.
