this is a guide wich explains how to lock the bootloader
ok with these u will lose all ur data or apps so please make a backup first
the status code will not return to 0 but to 2 (i have no solution for this -if someone could help me)
1 first go here and download ur firmware
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
2 extract the firmware on desktop or where u want and rename to X or how u want.
3 after u extract go into the folder and search for Windows folder.Copy the 3 files on X folder
4 download these files
http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/60108039/file.html
extract and copy the files in X folder
delete flashall.bat from X folder if u have one if not don t do nothing
5 put ur phone in fastboot .Power off ur phone.Then power on and volume down together.after 3-5 seconds let the power button.
u will be in bootloader mode
6 go in ur X folder and double click on Flash Moto G.bat
7 if Windows 8 request ur admin privilege just say ok
9 wait
10 when all finish the phone will reboot
wait untill the phones is on.Power off again and put one more time in fastboot mode.Then with power button just click on Normal Power up and it will flash ur logo for removing the bootloader warning
11 done ur bootloader is locked
for me works let me know if works for u
thanks to toco93 for help
And if I want to upgrade my Android Version, can I just flash the firmware in a recovery?
Or do I need to extract it and
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
etc.
EDIT: Thank you !
Worked for me.
Doing this we recover again our warranty?
Thanks!!

Technicaly (for Motorola) you can`t restore warranty after requesting a unlock_code and unlocking your bootloader with it. They may still deny warranty even if you relocked the bootloader.

Requesting the unlock code does not mean you will use it. Obly way to prove that is by the unlocked message screen

Is it clear now?
The question is... Is possible for Motorola to know that you have unlocked the BL if it is locked when phone goes to warranty?
You can have requested an unlock code, and haven't used it...

True but i think once you unlock your device using the unlocked BL code it stays in their database so they should be able to tell if your phone has been unlocked or not.

When is my warranty voided?
Your device warranty will be voided as soon as an unlock code has been generated through our online tool, regardless of whether you actually unlock your device.
Please do not request a bootloader unlock code unless you have read and accepted the terms of our legal agreement.

Wrong. Warranty void is still to No. Specially in EU, impossible to void warranty only for asking that code. If you don't use it the bl is still the same. No change on it. No warning message. No fuse burned. Come on...
Agree, silly and illegal, but if Motorola deny my warranty what can i do? Go to a court?

The problem is "transitive property" or "consecutio temporum".
The OFFICIAL thinking motorola about this: IF i ask the code, AUTOMATICALLY then i will unlock the bl. OFFICIALLY IS THIS, because they don not cover the other "street":
IF i ask the code, I asked simply a code. STOP. No other. There is not a "transitive property" for that if i ask a code then bl unlocked. Only this last exists for Motorola, and it's right in this sense, it's logic.
But the real life is different: IF i ask the code, I asked simply a code. STOP. So It's impossible that warranty can be void from them only for "asking the code". There is no change on phone and so on... In EU especially.

I have actually no problem with that what you are saying. I see it in a similar way. But logic and law is sometimes not very close to each other. I don't wanna go toooo off topic but how is it with computer games? You can buy a Game but it is not yours. You have often only the license to use it. This is also somehow strange and does not fit in my logic.
I understand that in the EU we have a big benefit because of our law to these things but are you a lawyer and can you be so sure about that what you are saying? Especially for the rest of the world? Have you read the complete license agreement? Sure, maybe the license agreement is futile........i hope so I'm not worried in any way......but just my 5 cents.
Hi there,
I want to lock my bootloader. I followed your guide and other guides too but when cmd comes to the step : " fastboot oem lock " It gives me the error : "(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.047s]
finished. total time: 0.048s "
And my Status Code is still 3. Does somebody knows why I get this error ? As I already said this is not the first method I tried but all failed.
Thanks.

Yes I'm on the stock Motorola 5.0.2 Germany Rom and I don't have root and no modifications. So I'm pure stock.
Hi.
Somewhere, I've read that after relocking the Bootloader, one can see that it was unlocked before. Is that really so?
Can someone tell me what the Bootloader status says, after relocking?
I don't want to run that procedure just to be able to see what the status is.
Thanks in advance

You can relock yes, but Motorola already knows that you unlocked it, because you asked them the unlock code giving your IMEI. Relocking is pointless for warranty

According to some, it would be a security measure.
Yes, I understand that the warranty is gone the moment I agree to that on Motorola's site even if I never actually use the code and unlock the phone. The question is from curiosity, really.

Technically, asking for a code doesn't mean you've used it, so it's not a proof of anything.

it doesn't have to be. It is when you request the code that you sign away your warranty. It is in the not-so-small print.

Seems like you're right. They're cheeky bastards
Will OTAs be Installable if we relock?
Relocking the phone won't give your warranty back for 2 reasons.
1) When you have unlocked your device you have asked a code to Motorola (and they have stored your device as unlocked)
2) If you watch on botloader there is a bootloader status (or something similar) that report code 3 (unlocked) and not 0 (not unlocked). If you relock your device the status code remain 3, so it continue to say it was unlocked. Relocked the bootloader haven't any utility (a locked device is a bit more secure but wipe your data everytime for a bit more security isn't so useful and if you want to reunlock it you have to ask the code to Motorola again (IDK if fastbot oem unlock is enought or not)).

So if I root it I will lose the warranty ? You sure ?
Yes you loose warranty. If you unroot it, you will have your warranty back.
To unroot, you must reflash the original software.
Unlocking bootloader won't affect warranty.

In my country, if you unlock your bootloader, it won't affect warranty...because the people at the service unlock your bootloader so they can fix the stuff that you encounter.

If you unlock the bootloader, you can easily root your phone. Did they install TWRP/CWM or any other custom recovery? Can you check it?
I unlocked my bootloader, officially. And basically, I got scared when I have read from somewhere that my warranty is void and I will not receive any FOTA. Is it true? Can I relock it officially? Help.
You can relock but you already lost your warranty
oh fckk. I'll just put in my mind that warranty is nothing lol. But if I relock, will it wipe all of my data?

If you relock, can they detect that it's been unlocked?
And what if you use a non-official unlock tool?

If you unlock officially, your phone will be registered in their system as unlocked device. So they won't track your device status anymore. They won't know if you relocked your device or not (since there's no official relock method).
If you unlock unofficially, then won't know your device is unlocked in the first place. So you can relock and claim warranty anytime.
Thanks for the clarification!

Then I presume you need an internet connection to perform the official unlock (otherwise they wouldn't get notified). What if you unlock while being totally offline?

Nothing is 100% safe. Anything could go wrong anytime. But most people unlocked by the unofficial way without any problem (I did too). So I'd say it's very safe.

Yeah, for real, I completely flipped when Xiaomi put a bootloader wait period on one of my devices. I caused as much a fuss as I could, emailed Xiaomi's support in several regions and researched extensively.
There's literally nothing you can do. Xiaomi has complete control over bootloader unlock authorization. As far as I'm aware there's no exploits and even staff at Xiaomi can't/won't override it.
Rest assured when that timer hits 0 you're good to go. Though for now, use the device as normal or switch it off and place it in a drawer for a couple of weeks if it bugs you too much. Just whatever you do, don't reflash it or attempt to change the account on the device; the timer will reset.
Once it's unlocked, avoid relocking it. There's no advantage to relocking the device when flashing images, it won't do a thing.
If you use MiFlash tool, it's worthwhile deleting the scripts suffixed with "lock" in the update folder when doing a fastboot flash from a PC (flash_all_lock.bat and flash_all_lock.sh, you don't want to go near flash_factory.sh/bat either - I'm confused as to why Xiaomi even includes that file in their update zips).
Always use flash_all.bat / flash_all.sh. Bonus tip: edit both files with notepad and remove the line which restarts the device (fastboot reboot is the line if I remember correctly). This way you can skip booting into MIUI and immediately push a custom recovery using fastboot boot C:/path/recovery.img (or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, boot is temporary).
Ps. Be sure to overwrite that "device unlocked" boot image if you're feeling meticulous.
actually you can bypass it but the solution is not free and very xpensive
My friend has redmi note 5 and for unlock waiting I read somewhere that if you use some old version of Mi tool it would skip the waiting and it did. Is there similar solution for redmi note 7?
