Impossible to unlock the bootloader - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello
I sent my device for warranty because I have ghost touches. I received my phone and they brought it back without any change, I'm still facing ghost touches. BTW thats not the problem.
Previously I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device, before to send the device for warranty I locked the bootloader again and sent it like it was new.
Now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader but it is impossible to do. When I try to get the fastboot oem unlock data, I put the code on the motorola website and the answer is "Your devices does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".
I tried too to put the old code that Motorola sent me to my email, I put the commands on adb window but also I get an error message "Code validation failure with status 7".
If someone have faced this issue would be great to know how to solve it.
Thanks.

unable to unlock bootloader+wifi problem

Hey guys, I need your help. I'm unable to unlock bootloader. I downloaded everything I need, I got my unlock number from huawei site etc. When I run adb it detects my phone, I write down adb reboot bootloader, it switches my phone into that white screen where it says LOCKED. Then I run this command - fastboot oem unlock (my unlock number from huawei site) and it replies with- Waiting for any device and nothing happens. Phone is still locked, I cannot write more commands and even if I wait for some period of time, nothing changes and I am forced to reboot without unlocking
Do you guys have any suggestions?
PS: another problem...probably week and half ago my wifi stopped working..it detects different wifi routers, but I am unable to connect and if I connect, the internet is not working. I've read on other forums it could be hw issue. I've also tried every possible step to solve this problem but flashing new ROM, since I haven't been succesful with unlocking bootloader.
Thanks.

In fastboot(white screen with Android logo saying locked) type fastboot devices.
If it displays YOUR phone serial no of your phone then everything is fine. If no serial number appears then your phone isn't connected to minimal adb. Also it can be a driver/cable issue.

Three UK and bootloader status

Is anyone on the Three network in the UK and have tried rooting or ROMming their phone??
I have been trying for a week now to access the bootloader (using 'adb reboot-bootloader') so i can use fastboot but the phone just restarts and boots up like normal. This to me suggests a locked bootloader.
After several calls to Three and an official complaint made, they insist the bootloader is unlocked yet when i went to the Three store the other day they say it is locked. Someone is lying!
Can anyone else on Three confirm if its locked or not??
All i want is to boot temporarily into TWRP and create a nandroid backup. Ive done this at work plenty of times yet I cannot do it on my own phone!! :/
You need to set the OEM lock to off in developer mode.

I have set OEM Unlock and USB debugging and still no joy.
Someone at Samsung told me my phone is locked but Three still claim its not locked.
I have been able to get ODIN to see the phone but i cant risk flashing anything as Samsung have told me they wont repair my phone if i do.
All i want to do is boot the phone with a temporary recovery. For that i need fastboot but i cant get fastboot no matter what i do. Its should be so simple!

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

Issue unlocking bootloader on US996

Hello,
I am going through the official way of unlocking the bootloader through developer.lge.com
I am trying to see my device's ID but can't get into boot loader mode
When ever I run "adb reboot bootloader" in CMD I get the message "no device/emulator found"
- OEM unlock is enabled
- USB debugging is enabeled
- I am using LG usb drivers
Did a ton of googling and not sure what else to try.
I wanna root this phone so bad!
Well I was able to get past the ID issue by using a different PC, however once I was able to input my device ID and everything into the LG site, the message I got was this:
Your device (LGUS996Z) does not support unlocking the bootloader. Please check your model. Your account will be locked if you enter the wrong information more than 8 times.
I don't even understand how it's possible if this us a US996.. gonna be pretty upset if I can't unlock the bootloader
What the heck is a LGUS996Z anyway!?
Gonna be really upset if I can't unlock the bootloader
Here's a picture of the model number sticker:

pretty sure it isn't the us cellular version

I can not flash my unlock token!

I am trying to unlock my bootloader. I finally received my unlock token from OnePlus but for some reason i cant unlock the device. i have the unlock-bin file in the same folder as adb, i have usb debugging on, my device is in fastboot mode, but i keep getting this error (see attached picture). Can someone please help? Also, does unlocking the bootloader factory reset the device?

Replace <unlock_token.bin> with the ACTUAL unlock token you got.
Yes, unlocking bootloader wipes the phone.
There are multiple forums on this.
While the phone is plugged in to the PC reboot it to fastboot again leaving it plugged in. ( Make sure you selected OEM unlock in developer options)
I managed to get it to work by using the ALL IN ONE tool
Just give the command, and drag and drop the unlockbbin. Should look like this: fastboot flash cust-unlock 23857363fbsndhdnd.bin. {for future reference, i have to reuse a couple times a week
Not unlock.bin

how bro can u explain ?
Same problem here
I think I've been out of the game for too long........ I was just too embarrassed to post the same question , ha! Well, at least the first part of the OP's question, about having the token in the correct path and it producing an error. If there's a step by step command by command walk-thru out there, I'd be grateful for the link. And yes I know how a search bar works, but all of the guides or whatever you want to call them seem to be missing a few steps....... Or maybe I should just go back to eating my butterscotch and yelling at kids to stay off my lawn ?
