Don't relock bootloader with MM ROM.
(if you already have N firmware, right now)
After flashing MM, you will receive OTA for N, and it will brick your device.
Do it with latest N september patch (available in guide section)

You can, but you need to remember that "don't take OTA in future, never tap update notification"
Also if you sell or give your phone to someone else, give them latest N.

Yes, fastboot commands are same.

hi! i know this is something irrelevant but since this is related to bootloader unlocking,i wanted to question that if i wanted to relock my bootloader which was on the sept 01 patch when unlocked;would i have to flash the same build from the fastboot again to relock it?and will it be safe to install ota updates after relocking the bootloader and reverting to the stock rom?

Only for taking OTA, locked bootloader is not necessary, you can take OTA with unlocked bootloader too.
things to take care of,
don't flash older firmwares than you have at the moment,
As you have september patch, flash september (while relocking too), don't downgrade.
If you downgrade, then don't take OTA. Warned..

My bad!
GPT and bootloader won't get flashed if you downgrade, it will fail, you can't flash older versions.
I don't know if it's possible to lock without flashing them, You can try flashing without GPT and Bootloader.

Just a suggestion! You don't need to flash the firmware again, if you are already on it. For eg, If you are already on Sept patch and want to relock, you don't need to flash the ROM again to relock it. Just use the fastboot commands.
I would recommend to leave it unlocked, because if anything went wrong with your device, atleast you will be able to save the data of internal memory atleast!

I relocked it a couple of days ago. It was quite a hassle with continuous errors! I definitely want the official update of lollipop so I wait with re-unlocking until I'm sure I don't need an locked bootloader anymore!
I hate to be unrooted however (used to cyanogenmod 11 on my previous device).

Even with unlocked bootloader ull get official update. Only thing is you ll have to flash the update manually from cache folder.
And root, we ll have the zip file as soon as someone gets update on xt1068. No need to wait for ota update. Manually flashing is more simple i feel.
I cant stay without root[emoji14]
to relock the bootloader what procedure should I use?
I tried everything but I can not. thanks

I put the stock rom and stuck bootlaoder,
I get DEVICE IS LOCKED. STATUS CODE.2

the original version had STATUS CODE.0

About the status codes:
0 = locked, original, never been unlocked. Warranty OK!
3 = unlocked. Warranty void!
2 = locked, but has been unlocked in the past. Warranty void!
I don't know if there is a status code 1.
In other words: everything is as it should be, but you'll never get your warranty back.

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

does anyone still on v 7.10.14?

My device is 2 month old with locked bootloader and no root
I got one major ota update from September to October. No more updates for me. Does anyone face same problem?

You should probably flash the latest ROM, either 7.12.19 Nougat through Mi Flash or Oreo through Jamflux's flasher script.

You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash via MiFlash or Jamflux's flasher I think they do it automatically if they ever need it.
And they can also relock it after if you want.

Upgrade G5 Plus

Hi I have a G5+ US version phone. I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I want to upgrade to the latest OTA. Where can I get the OTA, and what is the procedure with an unlocked and rooted phone? See screen shots of about phone.
TIA

You need to flash the firmware to update the device if you update it's with root then the device will hard brick, so you need to flash the whole firmware so you can upgrade the device.

Can I remove root, and update it with an OTA, of does the unlocked bootloader cause a problem as well?
Do you know where I can get the firmware?

You need to unmodified all things which you have installed,such as root, module's,etc. To flash the ota if there any modifications, then there are changes of brick. So suggest you to flash the firmware. And if you want data then use LMSA and make a backup and restore after upgrading it.
I think I am just going to do a custom rom instead.

Oreo is flashed, done, not messing around, thanks for your input. Used the NZedPred ROM, looks like stock and all my data was untouched.
