To summarize, I have a Moto G5 Plus, with locked bootloader and I decided to update a ROM STOCK and made a simple mistake by forgetting the OEM unlock option in advance in the configuration menu. An error occurred on the way and tried to return to the stock. Now, when the phone boots up, it enters the boot loader (which is locked) and displays a startup error message that states that you must use the Software Repair Wizard.
trying to enter the recovery gives a code:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode [Secure]
Fastboot Reason: UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot
failed to validate boot image
ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Boot up failed
Is there a known solution or force a recovery to work?
Thanks to all
Hello;
I found the solution, download the latest firmware from your cell phone, download it just unzip the zip and look for the files: gpt.bin and bootloader.img, those 2 ctrl + c and files go to the folder where they downloaded ADB tools and paste the files there , then execute the steps to open command window here and execute the following:
fastboot flash partitiongpt.bin
fastboot bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and it is ready to install the downloaded rom.
Gracias a AndresBRS https://www.clangsm.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=466891

Use Windows 7. Rsdlite doesn't work on Windows 10 if I'm not mistaken, probably also on 8/Vista.
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
wont work
I downloaded wine/wineloader on my mac because i have no windows and then i downloaded and used rsdlite for windows 7 but it still wouldnt read
Rsdlite was also unable to detect my Moto X Play. I tried Rsdlite on two laptops both running Window 7 as well as tried different data cables but to no avail.
Was the phone in fastboot mode when you connect it to rsdlite?
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes, mine was in fastboot. And I tried various advice from various forums but no success
its stuck on the bootloader screen, i tried it on windows 7 computers and windows 8, my phone wont be detected by any computer, its called "lux" and somethings wrong with the driver, i uninstalled it, installed it again (motorola device manager), in driver settings i uninstalled it, downloaded the latest update for the driver) and my phone would still not be recognized by rsdlite or the computer in general BUT when i tried using the verizon software repair software on my mac, it was read as razr 2 but it would get stuck at 6%

What ROM were you on when you tried Kingroot? It worked perfectly for me after I returned my Xt1564 to stock, then ran Kingroot, I trashed the root app that it installed and replaced with SuperSu Pro. Has been working like a charm for weeks.

Don't worry too much. Rsdlite works perfectly. It might show unknown device but it works
Hi I've seen threads around that have the same issue is there any help I can get.
I only have access to fastboot
my device will hang on LG logo
I've tried flashing recovery and it won't boot into it
I also tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70393155&postcount=3 and cannot flash misc, fota, but I can flash cache
- the error i get here is " remote: cannot erase this partition in unlocked state "
-- so i locked it with fastboot oem lock and fastboot flash lock and i get the same error with it declaring a " locked state " forcing me to unlock the bootloader again
I've attempted to flash .kdz files with no luck as im in download mode and the guides even say to put in download mode and LGMobile support tool isn't able to detect phone saying it's not even plugged in.
- is there a .dll file or something i need I've read twice in two different post maybe it's typos
I ran LGMobile support tool and it fails after downloading the .kdz file (my guess) not being able to put the phone in download mode is causing it to do so
I'm running out of ideas can anyone help?

My oem is locked and i tried to flash the entire system with adb but it's impossible
What firmware did you have prior to your device failing? What results do you get from trying to flash the firmware (I'm guessing you're flashing via fastboot/the bootloader)?
did you update the phone to 8.1 after which this has occured
Hi I flashed the ATHENE_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPJ28.111-22_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml in my Moto G4 Amazon variant phone.
Now the phone is stocked at logo.
Has anyone root this model with bootloader locked ?

i've just tried, tried rescue but i got an error when trying to install flashboot flash error. Says Flash failed, try again. stuck at 68 Percent
Currently looking in to flashing this.
Did you all try to flash the rom as a single file in twrp or similar or did you try to flash individual files to individual partitions?
With fastboot like:
DO NOT USE FOR THIS PHONE, SHOWN AS EXAMPLE!
sudo fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
sudo fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
I used this kind of code for flashing new software to my G7
(Sudo is for using these commands in linux)
Restore
Just follow those steps, doesn't matter if you have the bootloader locked.
Important:
Next time, unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery, twrp is the most common. After that flash the 8.1, it will reboot several times like if it has a problem but thats just the android config. Don't panic if you see it reach the homescreen and reboot, 3 or 4 times. It will do that untill you see the finishing progress bar prompt when it boots to homescreen
will give a try with this to see if it works.
edit tried, with 7.0 and the second command says preflash validation failed, with 8.1.0 the phone says okay all the commands but when i reboot the phone gets stuck on the blue m logo
1: my k20 phone got hard bricked as its boot loader was unlocked and i gave fast boot command : fast boot oem lock and my system got destroyed and boot loader got locked

3: mi flash tool unable to flash stock rom it says unable to erase in lock state
4: mi unlock tool inst unlocking as it says go to developer option and add account for unlocking but phone is bricked
5: i read many threads on how to flash with lock bootloader Qualcomm 9008 port by making deep flash cable at home but any other solution how to get into EDL mode without disassembling the device?

Since you can entr the fastboot mode, then pls download the latest fastboot rom for your phone and flash it as per this guide: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2.

That's the point, you can flash the original firmware (the same one that is currently in your smartphone) even with locked bootloader. Try it before you say it can't be done.
Nope buddy boot loader is locked and system is already installed therefore mi flash tool ia unable to erase it cuz it shows me error cannot erase in lock state i tried flashing stock global rom through mi flash tool
exactly - flash stock rom for fastboot - I've done it multiple times

Try using some older flashing tool and if that doesn't work try using some older Chinese flashing tool and of course the fastboot firmware file in the format *.tgz*.
Ok so i found a mi unlock tool which is a modded verion of original tool what it does is bypass server authentication and unlocks bootloader of device thanks it wont connect to xiaomi for checking device unlocking permission and will unlock it
