not able to lock the bootloader

i followed every step but as i typed oem lock(4.3 code) it gives an error

i m attaching an screenshot

please tell me whats the problem??:(
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
I remember a friend having this problem in his HTC, he sort of solved it by downgrading HTC.

For Moto G this is the first time I have heard anyone getting this error! So, frankly I have no clue why is it coming

please post output of

mfastboot getvar all

Also,

A guy suggest here that changing the machine(one that never had a nexus connected to it) helped him for his nexus 7.

you can try that too!
[Moto G General] ashwindogra9819:
Btw my bootloader is locked with status code 2

Will i get the ota 4.4.3 update??
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Yes you will, even if your bootloader is unlocked, the only requirement is stock ROM(rooted/unrooted) and stock Recovery

Thanku very much brother

U ve been very helpfull
[Moto G General] major9:
Can I flash the stock firmware on locked bootloader ? Its never been unlocked.

I'm having issues with call sound which started 1 week ago. This issue wasn't there for 2 weeks since I bought the phone. I think some part of the system has turned corrupt. Factory reset didn't solve the issue. I don't think Factory Reset is actually resetting system part of the mobile.
[Moto G General] Ozadroid:
Yes you can flash it with locked bootloader.

Factory reset doesnt touch system partition. It just erases data and caches.
[Moto G General] jonnug:
So... will this destroy the existing partitions and recreate them (as opposed to just emptying the folders, like factory reset does)?

I only ask because that's what I need to do - I'm sure my /data partition has become corrupt and needs fully rebuilding.
[Moto G General] Ozadroid:
This?

boot logo

i used the bat file.

when i boot into bootloader it shows device locked. does this mean my bootloader is locked ?

Also the logo didnt go back to the original motorola logo. Its still showing warning bootloader unlocked. what do i do ?
[Moto G General] Ozadroid:
Yes it means locked. For bootlogo fpash logo.bin separately.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Yes your bootloader is locked! as in above reply

motorolla has made their bootlogo in such a way that once the status code changes it always shows bootloader unlock warning

To change that you need to flash customly made logo.bin which is avalible here

what the difference between Retail_AS and Retail retail_AS+lock

:confused:
[Moto G General] Anantkumar:
Is there any difference among Retail_AS, Retail_AS+lock and the flashable zip?

I tried the flashable zip. It is running well. But, not able to play youtube videos on wifi. (it displays only Youtube search list displays).

On other youtube is working well...
[Moto G General] apitnauli:
same question. whats the different?
[Moto G General] jonnug:
They are nearly identical, only difference being '+lock' also relocks the bootloader.
[Moto G General] Anantkumar:
I just tried your method for getting stock rom. I am done it successfully. Thank you sooo much for this help. I would recommend all to follow this process only rather than flashing the zip. Because, it comes like as you had got with the new phone. :good::laugh:

But, if you don't have your own pc and want the stock then you can go for the flashable zip. otherwise this is the best post I have ever seen.

Thanks again bro..............:good::good:
[Moto G General] methuselah:
This is the right place to ask this question. My phone has some sort of problem with battery. I tried the battery calibration tips from moto care. I am still unrooted. Moto representative told me to visit service centre. My battery does not hold 100℅ charge even for an half-hour. Even when the phone is remain idle. I posses a HTC wildfire rooted and It can hold 100% battery even after 3 hours without any usage. Now what I want to do is flash a custom rom and flash a custom kernel and then i want to check whether this problem is with or Google APps or preinstalled apps l, which eats battery. A simple question I want to ask If root my moto g then will Motorola came to know that i rooted my phone. Coz in that case I will have no option to go to service centre to replace the battery which is very far from my town. If I root now then I know again reflashing stock firmware I can lock boot loader and get official ROM back. Does motrola has some sort of security that tell them I am rooted ???
[Moto G General] tansly:
To unlock your bootloader, you have to obtain an unlock code from Motorola. That means they can always know if you have unlocked it.

Also the bootloader shows status code 2 for unlocked then relocked bootladers, while it shows 0 if you have never unlocked.
[Moto G General] vj_dustin:
Thank you for this really reassuring thread [MENTION=5780497]deej_roamer[/MENTION].

I had rooted my dad's Moto G and now he's no longer getting OTA's

I just want to get it back to as it was when unboxed.

So now currently the device is unlocked, rooted on 4.4.2 stock. Not sure about the recovery though. It's the Indian flipkart sold device XT-1033 Dual Sim version.

Anyhow, I'm gonna try your method but can I use this exact method, step by step as mentioned with the 4.4.2 file provided in the OP, or do I need to use a 4.3 stock image given on this site - SBF Droid first?

I'm very new to phones with bootloaders, never dealt with them before (used a P500, GT-I9100 with simple recoveries), so I am really clueless here, so pardon the noob questions or possible 'noober' follow ups!

Ok, I followed through, and I have a working (thank god), dual sim again. With no superuser installed, I guess root is gone.

Still have the bootloader unlocked message though, not a priority really.

The thing is, I'm on 4.4.2 as I was before, and when I checked for OTA, it says, it's updated to the latest version.

Now I googled a bit and from what I read, Indian dual sim version devices are actually at 4.4.2 only. The 4.4.3 is for single sim variants only for now.

Is this true? Or have I made some mistake and I'm still off the OTA list due to custom recovery or something?
[Moto G General] cobracat:
can I get ota update with this stock?

do we need to lock bootloader too if want to get ota update?

2. No. Locking is not essential for OTA.

Download Brazil firmware and follow the same steps in this thread to flash. After flashing check for updates and you will receive 4.4.3

Thanks I just wanted to know that I flashed it correctly. I'm in no rush to get 4.4.2+ right now. I'll wait when 4.4.4 is launched and available.

I read that 4.4.3 has the openssl bug which is why Moto redacted the update

I also don't want to lose my warranty is it possible and if it is can you give me a link to Brazilian framwire and guides to the process
[Moto G General] BaghiXDA:
When you unlock bootloader you agree to void your warranty.
[Moto G General] vj_dustin:
Also there is no way of getting that warranty back even after you Relock it. Consider all options.

Also if you don't have lot of issues, then wait, 4.4.3 isn't a major update to root for, unless you plan on going custom.

3. Flash stock ROM ?

[Moto G General] jigar.in:
When you unlock bootloader, your warranty is void.

If you want quick update, flash Brazilian firmware. I did it. Sharing my personal experience.

Sorry for the silly question. I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom , can I flash 4.4.2 on it ?
[Moto G General] BaghiXDA:
Right now, it's either not possible or very difficult with heavy risk involved. I'd avoid doing that and wait for some foolproof way of flashing 4.4.2 because lately I'm seeing lots of folks wanting to go back to the 4.4.2 for various reasons, some even have bricked their device on software level. So, take my advice and don't do it at the moment.

i also tried to flash 4.4.2 stock firmware described in this thread over 4.4.2 but it gets failed.

what to do?

my cell is working good not any problem.

but i m unable to go to 4.4.2 and stock recovery is not working. pls help me.

i m on unlocked bootloader.

and pls tell me how to lock the bootloader. pls guys

thanks in advance.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Partition mismatched error is common, because the size of stock recovery and custom recovery are not same.

That shouldn't be a problem, other than that whatever problems you had, you should provide more details so that it becomes easy to find out the solution. For example, When you flash the recoveries post the command prompt log, or when you say flashing stock firmware gives you errors, mention the error name or post the log! That helps.

Currently your cry for help is very much a vague statement. Its like you call up a car mechanic and say my car doesn't work and nothing else! Please provide more details!

We want to help you, but provide more details so we are able to!

I just signed up with ATT, last September, I have the S4. But would like to get the new One (M8).

I thought I read an article few months ago, saying there was a new upgrade feature at ATT, that will let upgrade to a new phone, if you've been on your current contract / phone for at least 6 months in good standing. Which I am.

Is that true ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kevinallen4325:
Unless you signed up for that specific plan I think your best bet is to sell the s4 and pay out right for the m8. You can still get a good chunk of cash for the s4 and probably still have to pay around 200 for the HTC. Which is about the normal cost of an upgrade anyways. This is what I always do.
