Hi, few days ago I tried to install a rom stock on my moto g5 plus, but i didn´t unlock the bootloader from the system (debugging usb, oem unlock), now my phone is bricked and only enters on fastboot mode, how can I unlock the bootloader? I tried many commands, including the code sended by motorola to unlock it, but it still locked,

Unfortunately, if you cannot boot into the operating system to enable "OEM Unlocking" in Developer Options, it is not possible to unlock the bootloader. Period... There is no way around it, and since you have been issued an unlock code your warranty is void (it doesn't matter if you actually unlock or not, your warranty is voided by the code being issued successfully).
With the bootloader being locked, downgrading is not possible, and since we don't have the latest factory firmware image your only options are to wait for it to become available and then flash it.
If look at the output of "fastboot getvar all" you should be able to see what version you have installed now. You need a full factory image that is the same or a higher version for the exact same variant you have, otherwise you just have a brick... Moto won't even lock at it, even if you pay for it.

several questions in no particular order:
Does the "OEM Unlocking" toggle do anything on the XT1572?
If I issue the fastboot OEM LOCK command after having sucessfully unlocked the device before, do I need to go through the full data wipe+send oem data+flash unlock code process again?
Lastly, I was able to flash the MM firmware for my Single SIM AISA model XT1572 despite having the bootloader locked (I think).
Is that normal that I can flash the official moto firmware using just fastboot without having to tweak with anything else?
I presume that since the digital signatures are correct the bootloader has no issue accepting the MM files.
Not quite the end of the world if I have to wipe everything and start over (it's only been a day) but I regret not knowing earlier. Nor did I expect to get this far with a relocked boot loader. Was trying to add SuperSU and found that while I can overwrite flash the stock recovery I cannot flash TWRP.

As far as I am concerned relocking the bootloader wont wipe your data and yes about the question regarding the stock firmware
PS: Dont relock your bootloader once you unlock it the warranty doesnt come back even if you lock it again
Same as the title

Open does not mean unlocked. Open means you have root access. Unlock means you can access the recovery partition and flash anything you want with a custom recovery.

With G version (6.3.0.0G), lk does not have fastboot unlock cmd. I had disassembled 6.1.3.3G lk to check and confirmed. Instead, A version does have it because of nougut port (Ie, 6.3.0.2A fw).
I knew it because tried today. I rooted and run global.sh then install A version fw on my G version phone. The drawback is fastboot USB is no longer working. So winxp PC USB connections to m3note fail. Lucky the phone still working.
So if somebody told you G version can unlock bootloader, then you have to pay attention. I assumed you less likely got the A version phone but a G version instead. If you are lucky with A version, you can have a try. FYI the above disassembled A version of lk does have below cmd:
oem p2u
oem reboot-recovery
oem unlock
oem lock
oem key
oem lks
flashing unlock
flashing lock
flashing get_unlock_ability
Many more....

I recently saw that OEM unlocking toggle is working. I unlocked my bootloader long ago. I'm on stock Oreo right now and I didn't "RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER" but it shows to me as if it was relocked. Is it possible? I already have magisk installed. Dunno what to do. Any suggestions?
The OEM unlock toggle in Developer Settings means nothing once you have unlocked the bootloader. Make sure it is enabled and check the bootloader manually... To my knowledge it is impossible to relock the bootloader without a signed image.
Hi guys,
I did something pretty silly yesterday while trying to unroot my phone.
First I uninstalled magisk
Then I disabled unlock OEM from developer options
Then from fastboot I did: fastboot oem lock
And then I restarted without flashing the stock rom...
The result is that I now have a locked bootloader, that does not boot to the ROM because previously rooted (it says device is corrupted), and I am unable to unlock to the bootloader because it is not enabled in the developer options.
I have no clue what to do... I can't flash anything because the bootloader is locked but I can't unlock the bootloader because the device wont boot...
Have I managed to reach the ultimate brick state ??? Please gib help.
nevermind boys I did a factory reset from the bootloader, and I started booting afterwards...funny because it did not work before, maybe it's because I attempted a rescue with the Lenovo smart assistant...dunno
Hi. My friend mistakenly turned off her phone while it was performing an OTA.
Now it won't boot up and recovery doesn't even work. Fastboot does however work but not much else.
The device is completely stock with no USB Debugging and a locked bootloader. Additionally, the bootloader can't even be unlocked (fastboot oem unlock), as it wasn't enabled for unlock in developer settings.
This means I'm not able to do almost anything with fastboot.
What are our options here to restore the recovery and OS?
