This guide will only work up to OOS 11.
This guide is for users that can't or just don't want to download MsmDownloadTool. Linux users especially, since the tool is not available for linux. All you need is a recent version of android tools with a fastboot capable of executing fastboot reboot fastbootd.
To start, download the appropriate Oxygen OS zip for your device from the OP8T repo thread. Extracting the zip file should give you a file named
payload.bin.
Use payload dumper to extract payload.bin.
You can grab payload_dumper from here (Windows and macOS), here (linux), or here (github, any OS).
For the download link from github, make sure you're running python 3.6 or higher. Run payload dumper with:
python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
The image files will be extracted to a folder named output.
Before starting the flashing process, you can check your device memory type using the DevCheck app by flar2 or with the command adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type. The adb command will return 0 for LPDDR4X chips and 1 for LPDDR5 chips. This is important to flash the right xbl img files. LPDDR4X is more common for OP8T, so no worries if you miss this step.
You can start flashing from the standard bootloader or fastbootd. The first three lines below will flash the stock recovery then reboot into fastbootd.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash --slot=all recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash --slot=all boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot=all dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl.img
fastboot flash --slot=all aop aop.img
fastboot flash --slot=all bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash --slot=all cmnlib64 cmnlib64.img
fastboot flash --slot=all cmnlib cmnlib.img
fastboot flash --slot=all devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash --slot=all dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all featenabler featenabler.img
fastboot flash --slot=all hyp hyp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all imagefv imagefv.img
fastboot flash --slot=all keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash --slot=all logo logo.img
fastboot flash --slot=all mdm_oem_stanvbk mdm_oem_stanvbk.img
fastboot flash --slot=all modem modem.img
fastboot flash --slot=all multiimgoem multiimgoem.img
fastboot flash --slot=all qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash --slot=all spunvm spunvm.img
fastboot flash --slot=all storsec storsec.img
fastboot flash --slot=all tz tz.img
fastboot flash --slot=all uefisecapp uefisecapp.img
If your phone has the LPDDR4X memory chip (returned 0 with the adb shell command above), flash the images below:
Code:
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl_config xbl_config.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl xbl.img
LPDDR4X is the more common chip for OP8T, so if you forgot to check, you can flash this.
If your phone has the LPDDR5 chip (returned 1 with the adb shell command above), flash the images below:
Code:
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl_config xbl_config_lp5.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl xbl_lp5.img
This next section will clear the super partition (contains odm, system, system_ext, vendor and product). It's not absolutely necessary, so you can skip to the next step. Clearing the super partition will help avoid the following error, which can come up if you had manually flashed ROMs on both slots previously.
Code:
Resizing '<partition name>' FAILED (remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition')
Example: Resizing 'product' FAILED (remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition')
If you've ever had this error or you just want to be sure that everything is cleared, check the spoiler.
Spoiler
Before deleting, you can check the names of the logical partitions on your phone using fastboot getvar all. Scroll up to the section that looks like this:
Code:
(bootloader) is-logical:odm_a:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:product_a:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:system_a:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:system_ext_a:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:vendor_a:yes
or
(bootloader) is-logical:odm_b:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:product_b:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:system_b:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:system_ext_b:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:vendor_b:yes
As @Matt85m pointed out, you may also have:
Code:
(bootloader) is-logical:odm:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:product:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:system:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:system_ext:yes
(bootloader) is-logical:vendor:yes
It is also possible to have logical partitions with the same names ending in -cow (system_a-cow, system_b-cow, system_ext_b-cow, vendor_a-cow, product_b-cow, etc).
These are created by various ROMs during an OTA. Shout out to @mslezak for the discovery.
Delete everything with the commands below:
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm
fastboot delete-logical-partition system
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
fastboot delete-logical-partition vendor
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition vendor_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition vendor_b
Delete any -cow partitions with the same command:
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a-cow
and so on.
If you get an error deleting the -cow partitions, @firegate22 suggests changing slots from the bootloader (fastboot --set-active=a or b) not from fastbootd, then return to fastbootd and try the delete command again.
All logical partitions can be deleted to free up space in the super partition.
Recreate partitions a and b with the commands below.
Code:
fastboot create-logical-partition odm_a 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition odm_b 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition system_a 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition system_b 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition system_ext_a 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition system_ext_b 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition product_a 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition product_b 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition vendor_a 100000
fastboot create-logical-partition vendor_b 100000
Flash the rest of the images.
Code:
fastboot flash odm odm.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash --slot=all vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash --slot=all vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
Assuming everything flashes with no errors, return to recovery, do a factory reset and reboot.
I like what you're proposing. I've been thinking along these lines also.
Would you mind explaining why you're flashing to both slots rather than just the inactive one?
If you leave the current slot untouched you have a fallback position (the whole point of having A/B partitioning).
The same question applies to the flashing/deleting of the dynamic partitions in super.

For this guide specifically, the idea is to return as close to stock as possible. Wiping everything and replacing with OOS would be the best way to do that.
More generally, other than boot.img and recovery.img, the images flashed on both slots in the first part are the firmware files. You can grab and flash them from pretty much any new OOS version to update the firmware without affecting the installed ROMs. The specific files for the ROM are all in the third part. If you extract the payload.bin for any custom ROM, those are usually the only image files included.
You can certainly run two different firmware versions on the two slots, but if the inactive slots are empty or contain much older firmware, you can end up with weird issues in the active slots (usually a boot loop but could be more or less serious). Keeping the versions close is just to avoid unnecessary issues.
Some custom ROMs for OP8T like Lineage recommend or insist on flashing the copy-partitions.zip package for this reason. It's also why the install instructions for older A/B phones that have TWRP generally begin with "flash the stock ROM on both slots" - only the firmware files are strictly necessary, so you can keep the fallback ROM on the other slot if you want to.
That ended up much longer than planned. Hope it answers your questions though!
I'm going through this process rn, and I figured I'd ask here. How long does it usually take to flash dsp? It's been over 20 minutes of Sending 'dsp_a' (65536 KB)
65 M looks pretty big, and that's maybe the max size? How long did it take for you?
edit: seems to be unrelated to size as the modem part went fine, and that's bigger
No go, next step : fastboot reboot fastboot enter QDLoader mode

Full time Linux user here, glad to see this guide after few days looking for a way to go back to stock without Msmtool.
However I do have some question, is it possible to have a OTA update from Oneplus if I go back to stock using this method and re-lock my bootloader?

Shouldn't be a problem. I was able to install an OTA update after returning to stock using this method with no issues even without relocking my bootloader.
thanks for this helped me alot to restore my device, i have one question though i checked all the commands and i see there might be one command missing, when i extracted the rom i checked all the img files and saw :
xbl_lp5.img
xbl_config_lp5.img
cant help wonder if i have to input the commands as well

Glad it helped. Those files depend on whether your device has a DDR type 0 (LPDDR4X) or DDR type 1 (LPDDR5) memory chip.
You can check your device memory type with adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type. It will return 0 or 1. You can also use the DevCheck app by flar2.
I believe most OP8Ts use DDR0, which requires xbl_config.img and xbl.img. The lp5 images are for DDR1.
According to the lineage OS wiki, you'd flash the lp5 images with the same commands on DDR1:
Code:
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl_config xbl_config_lp5.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl xbl_lp5.img
I've tried to bring my KB2003 back to stock from LineageOS using this guide and when it comes to flashing the odm, product and vendor files I get the following errors

edit: if I do these product and vendor files first, system throws the error. Are the posted logical partition sizes correct?

You need to clear more space in the super partition. You can basically delete and recreate both slots a and b for system, system_ext, product, vendor, and probably even odm to get more space.

Yeah, that's what they're for. Strange. Any other errors before the one for odm? Would be helpful if you can upload a screenshot of your terminal with all the commands.
Edit: One suggestion is to make sure you're in fastbootd, not fastboot. Also, the size for the new logical partitions is arbitrary - they get resized when being flashed.

it definitely is in fastbootd, I ran into that issue initially as the android-tools package shipped with Fedora was out of date, I dumped the newer tools from google into my /usr/bin.
Here is a dump of my last step by step attempt text file
OK, couple things you can try.
- Switch to slot a and try flashing again.
- If that doesn't work, flash the copy-partitions zip from the lineage wiki then try again.
Btw you can check the size of the super partition using fastboot getvar partition-size:super (you'll have to convert the hex value to decimal). It should be around 7.5 gb. Use fastboot getvar all to get the sizes of all the logical partitions. The total should be between ~3.3 and 4 gb after flashing or about 500 mb after you delete/recreate them.

worked it out looking at the entire list of partitions - I had 3 lots of each rom partion for example system_a, system_b and system, for all vendor product etc. purging the ones without the _a/b allowed the process to complete.
Might be a quirk of lineageOS installation process - you might want to make a note of it on the OP incase someone else runs into it

I found a way to not return to stock It might work an any phone that is on the leak. I'm with Movistar Chile carrier
just fownload the file from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost/list.php and then flash as follow.
Please use the motorola fastboot.
Option 1
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
Option 2:
You can use also RSDlite, to do so remove the line from de xml
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
also you can remove this lines:
<step operation="erase" partition="cache" />
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />
if you have problems and cannot go out from bootloader using RSDlite you need to put the following commnad in fastboot mode.
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
this will clear any bad flashing.
just did and it worked using option 1, didn't test the second option..
I'm not responsable for any bricked phones. My carrier is Movistar Chile and has been with tmobile version for a while.
Edit: Adding motorola fastboot for Linux, Mac and Windows.
Hope this help to anyone

Glad it worms for you
For anyone impatient on Rogers (started with the official OTA update, bootloader unlcoked, TWRP installed in recovery)
Followed the instructions above, skipping the recovery (as I wanted to keep TWRP), but clearing cache just for good measure.

EDIT: I think some of my settings or XPosed modules were screwing stuff up. Quickly reset userdata and everything is great

I did erase cache, but that is what I did over the leaked version from tmobile.
You can also use rsdlite and just edit the xml file to remove the get var line near the top and the $ fastboot erase userdata. That is likely as simple as it gets to go from the updated leak to the final release.

That could work, I havent tested as dont have 4g yet. You can try it. You can even flash original files if I'm not mistaken. Even you can flash the AT&T ones as they have almost all bands.
I think you should try out.
I'm also a Movistar CL user, to flash any version of firmware bootloader unlocked is required, right?

I can confirm that rar contains factory images and it's working fine on my Moto G4 Plus XT1644 64GB/4Gb RAM (RETUS). Finally, running Nougat on my device.

Thanks, I had a browse and it looks like it's from http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22076-moto-g⁴-plus-npj2593-11/
Although the website says they are not an official Lenovo forum, if it's working for people, that's great. It'd be nice if we get a Nougat ROM we can flash in stock recovery without adb fastboot
Massive cleaning on the thread.. Please be warry of whatever type of file you are flashing on your devices.. A little mistake will brick your devices. I hope no one will post again a non-flashable zip.. and pls. put into considerations the knowledge of others. Not everyone knows what a RAR file or a ZIP file is... Please be cautious.. AND LASTLY .. NO FLAMING ..... NEVER ALLOWED HERE

Hi guys
I have an XT1643 and I have downloaded the firmware mentioned below. It was a 7z compressed file with password as "lenovo-forums.ru"
"athene_oem_user_7.0_NPJ25.93-14_16_release.7z"
I couldn't find the commands for flashing this through bootloader. If someone may know a solution, could you please post the command or guide me?
thanks

The fastboot commands are the same as in the post you linked in your quote. Alternatively, you may refer to the instructions listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
One way to flash your stock ROM is (just expanding on the instructions mentioned previously):
1) Download the Motorola drivers and minimal adb tool from the links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369 Install the drivers and tool as directed by the installers.
2)Extract the 7z ROM with your preferred decompression tool (that can handle .7z file types). The resulting folder should be about 2 GB. Copy the files (from the extracted stock ROM) to your adb folder (may be on your C:\ drive, you may have to give permission to copy).
3)Connect your device to your computer. Enable USB debugging.
3a)Once recognised by your computer, open the adb terminal and type/execute 'adb devices' without the quotes. Your device should return back its serial number if properly detected.
4)Back up all necessary data and files to your computer. Flashing a fastboot ROM may wipe your data from your device.
5)Reboot your device to bootloader mode.
5a) Re-confirm you can still detect your device in fastboot mode by executing 'fastboot devices'. Should get your serial number again.
6)Run the commands as directed in the fastboot ROM thread in the adb terminal.
6a)These commands are for relocking your bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
6b) If you don't wish to type all this, you may wish to download and run the scripts from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 Ensure you copy the scripts to the adb folder, where your ROM files and the adb terminal should be. There should be 2 scripts there, one for if you want to relock your bootloader, one if you don't wish to.

What firmware did you have previously on your device, and are you trying to relock your bootloader? The firmware linked here is quite old (November 2016 security patch), and the warning you're getting suggests you have newer firmware on your device.
If you're on the June update, do not flash this firmware.

Can you please share the link for june fastboot rom for XT1643?
Hello,
So I decided to unlock and root my Pure today. Originally I was going to flash Lineage, but I later decided not to. Anyway, I was following the instructions here.
So I unlocked and installed TWRP succesfully. Then I decided to root. And that's where I screwed up.
Following these instructions, I now have a phone that won't boot past the "M" logo. Apparently my mistake was not using the current SU version.
I have been Googling for an hour now, but almost every solution I've come across has involved plugging the phone into the computer. My issue is that my computer isn't recognizing the phone when I plug it in, so my knowledge of how to fix this is limited (and my expertise in this topic was minimal to begin with...). I can get to recovery mode, and have tried a factory reset. No dice. I also put the latest official factory image from Motorola on the SD card, but when I went to install it, it wouldn't show up.
As you can tell I am quite stuck here. I haven't tried to root a phone since my Incredible back in the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Did you use TWRP to make a nandroid backup before attempting to root? If so, just restore it.
If not, you're going to have to either fastboot flash it back to stock. More info in the firmware thread.
Or you could give a custom rom, or this TWRP flashable stock rom a try. I've never used the TWRP flashable stock rom, but it might be an easy way out of your predicament if you aren't comfortable and familiar with fastboot and want to stay stock.
For future rooting attempts of the stock rom I'd recommend Magisk. It always works systemless, so there's no need to force it to install systemless like SuperSU. Just flash the zip in recovery and install the Magisk manager from the Play Store and you're rooted. No more soft bricks.

Ok, first, thanks for the response.
I think somehow I didn't actually install TWRP. Not sure how.
I followed that thread link and tried everything, but to no avail. Maybe I was doing it wrong? I did this:
- Downloaded everything under "6.0 MPH24.49-18 FIRMWARE"
- Put it on my SD card
- Booted into recovery
- Selected Install from SD Card
And there was nothing listed. I tried the same with the "6.0 MPH24.49-18-3 FIRMWARE".
I also did the "AutoFlashFirmwareScript", but I'm assuming that didn't work since I can't turn on USB Debugging. Is there a possibility I somehow wiped the entire OS and there isn't anything to boot into?

This definitely seems helpful, but when I tried it gave me a bunch of Failures.
For "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin":

sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.006s]

And then a Failure for every command from "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to "fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8" (the build I used doesn't have sparsechunk 9 or else I'd assume that would have been a failure as well). It is encouraging to know I can at least somewhat communicate with the phone, for some reason yesterday I couldn't even do that.

im sure this will 100% work

if you are flashin sept patch it should have 8 i assume but if you just type system system.img_sparsechunk.9 it'll say file not found u won't encounter any error by that

if you see "invalid sparse file format at header magi" when flashing system and vendor, ignore it and wait.
if you needed root you can flash patched_boot.img
Code:
fastboot boot patch_boot.img
then Download Magisk installer and flash direct again Magisk.
or
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a patch_boot.img
This process take some time.
if you update O to P, frist boot will take long long time, you can force reboot(press 10s power button) to resolve it.
It may take a little time in frist screen.

I've got the same problem on windows 10 and ubuntu 18.04, amdFX6300 8gb ram.

It will take some time (around 5-7 mins) to complete when flashing system & vendor to both a/b .. after it is done, fastboot will be active again then can proceed to next image flashing.
To make it easier ... make those commands in a single batch file. So after you connect your device to PC in fastboot mode, just run the batch file .. let it do its thing until it finish .. this will take around 30 mins to complete.
EDIT : Sharing my own batch file here if anyone want to try, so you don't need to write each line of fastboot flash *** one after another images.

It got OTA'ed to Oreo 8.1 latter on, but still bootloader unlocked. That's weird, I thought a phone with open bootloader would not receive OTA, but mine does.
I just went through the flashing process to POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-4, same damn thing.
Everything works fine, except for Netflix that can't be installed no longer and my bank software who keeps complaining.

An unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with getting OTA updates. At least you get the unlock code from the manufacturer himself.
Only changes in /system or /vendor like rooting or other tweaks make OTA fail.
About locking the BL, a bit of research would have taken you here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-lock-bootloader-potter-version-t3694952
For Oreo the whole sets of commands are for
Locking:
-----------------
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Unlike you supposed, I just did not throw my problem in the forum and waited for someone else to hand me a solution on a silver plate. I did do my homeworks, I did *MANY* searches, I did see the post you pointed me toward, that one and many many others that resembled it closely. But this whole endeavour did not lead me to my expected objective, which is to relock my phone. I am in the same loop I was in when I started trying : The second time I issue the «fastboot oem lock» command, I get this :

You can get signed images from Lenovo Moto smart assistant app, just go for rescue and let the firmware gets download, then go to the c/LMSA/ROM there you can find the firmware which has signed, use that image for locking bootloader, then you can lock your bootloader.and don't get anger on wolfcity he just try to help you as, some person don't know how to lock bootloader so they just post on XDA without reading the other thread only.

I don't wanted to sound rude or something like that.
You didn't mention that you used all the fastboot locking commands in you first post, you just posted three lines of flashing boot, recovery and logo.
So no offense.
What sounds strange to me is that Netflix and your banking app aren't working with an unlocked bootloader. Normally these applications are looking for traces of rooting methods like magisk or SuperSU. I'm unlocked and rooted with magisk and Netflix is working for me if I put in on magisk's hide list. Maybe you have some files on your device that trigger these anti rooting mechanisms? Sometimes just a file or folder named magisk could be enough.

No hard feelings.
It turns out that with your instructions (1st part : Locking) I was sucessful at my aim, finally. It did whine again about the signed image requirement after line 2, I continued [9 sparsechunks though, not 5 ... ], then, upon hitting «enter» after the last line [fastboot oem lock], Shazam, it locked.
You may be right about some left over garbage files [or traces of] that could still be present in the file system. I have loaded many customs roms last year on this phone, magisk and SuperSu as well.
Last but not least : Thank you.

Good to hear it worked out for you at last.
Seems that these "unsigned" messages are nothing to worry about to much. Sorry for the "sparechunk thing", copied the wrong flashall.bat file, this is the one for Oreo :https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfh67uzfle9hsco/flashallO.bat?dl=0
with 8 sparechunk files.
Last but not least: You're welcome.
Yeah this same thing happened to me today morning.. most guides have till sparsechunk4.. where as oreo has uptill 8.. so u need to flash the rest i.e 5,6,7,8. And then it will lock..

I also had same error. Followed what you said. Finally locked bootloader. I am very happy now.
Thank you.
Might be good for someone who has gone through it, to make a new write-up, with current info. The longer these phones have been out, and bootloader unlocked, the more fragmented the info gets. It gets harder to know what currently works, and what could possibly "fubar" the phone.

What do you mean? An "locking BL guide" or something more complete like "flashing/locking/encrypting/rooting"? I'm willing to that but I have to know what you guys need.

Sure,,,, all of it! I unlocked my first G5 plus a year and a half ago. I have hard bricked it 3 times, and now use it for a test phone, as it has an addison bootloader. My everyday G5 plus is unlocked and rooted, but I've kept it on stock roms and kernels, due to a little fear of how easily these can be corrupted. I am certainly not ignorant of most of the workings with these, even going so far as to use Qualcomm's factory utilities to dig deep inside. However, that being said, what worked when I first unlocked my original, isn't totally pertinent today. Nougat and Oreo factory roms, nougat, oreo, pie developer roms, 64 bit and 32 bit, all add to a confusing set list of what can be safely done without irreversible consequences. I've kept up on these forums for almost 2 years, but the fragmentation of guides makes it confusing enough for myself, much less a novice. Example of things that can go wrong to unsuspecting, is the loss of touchscreen with stock oreo. I haven't experienced it, but it is out there. I'm just saying it would be hugely beneficial for all, if we could get some current guides, stickied in place of our outdated ones. I have the test phone that I have put through the wringer, and am more than willing to use it as a guinea pig for any other processes that may add to the guides.

You're lucky you have the ability to financially purchase a second G5 Plus to use as a failsafe. When I purchased mine it was roughly around $300-400 (was brand new) so to have purchased another at the time wasn't an option, and may as well purchase a 700+ flagship with that money. To this day I've owned over 30 devices and tested well over that. Thus far only the Galaxy S2 and the Motorola G5 Plus were the only two that have surpassed a year with good stable service. I don't even purchase the phone cases cause devices are supposed to be visually appealing like cars, because tech will always be sexxy. Anyways, my point was since the Photon Q back in early 2014 to this G5 Plus, I've really liked Motorola. If you take the time the align this phone purrs. But I need to upgrade soon as.. Thinking of getting a Pixel 3 when it reaches my shores.. Anyways, it's 1:28am, goodnight.
I was able to purchase the second phone for less than $100 US, slightly used. So it was a no brainer to have a guinea pig phone.

Hi!!
I need to relock my Moto G5 Plus, because my country use a Covid App to transit trough states.
And I need it to use because I´m a essential worker. This App check the locked / unlocked devices.
I Know that Netlix do the same, but it never mattered to me to that app.
Now I really need to Re Locked my phone
I have tried several methods.. and doesn´t work any of them

www.dropbox.com
It may look like the first set would be enough but that's not true, you have to flash the whole firmware afterwards.
Be aware that all of your internal data (apps, settings and everything you have in internal storage) will be erased so make backups of everything. Also backup all partitions with TWRP especially persist and efs!

No, the user who was asking wanted to lock his BL so I gave him the lock commands too.
I don't know anything about your device but normally the BL has to be unlocked to flash firmware on a Moto.

Oh okay. I tried relocking the bootloader on Moto one p30 play but when repeatedly entering 'fastboot oem lock' it says "still require signed boot.img" and even after I flash the boot.img when it asks to whenever I enter the fastboot oem lock command it says "still require signed boot.img"
Can you help me out please?
