Haven't unlocked mine yet. I can try your exploit

Though I've already requested the unlock key so warranty is gone.. :D
[Moto E General] m11kkaa:
great :)

press vol-down while booting this image with "fastboot boot motoe_mbm_boot.img" so he'll enter fastboot mode.

If it worked you'll see "Hacked Powerup" instead of "Normal Powerup", if not you'll see a error message :P

might not have removed all the spaces the first time

How to relock the bootloader?

fastboot oem lock

Can't relock the bootloader

When I give the fastboot oem lock command, the system says:

C:\adb>fastboot oem lock
(bootloader) FAIL: Please run fastboot oem lock begin first!
(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.011s]

and then if I run that commend first and then the lock one, its an error again:

On the phone it shows the following:

Failed to validate system image.

I have my phone rooted and no other change done as such. Any help?
[Moto E General] Lucas Eugene:
you cannot lock while rooted. there is a function in super su that allows full unroot. do that first.

also you'll need to be on stock kernel
[Moto E General] singhnsk:
The reason behind unlocking was to root the phone and I thought I could lock it back after doing the root. Is there just no other way to lock it while the phone is rooted?

I haven't changed any other thing in the phone. So are there chances that I am on stock kernel only?

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Okay! I did a full unroot from SuperSU and the same error remains. What to do now? :/
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
The relock doesn't work for E. AFAIK. Check a few pages back, its mentioned.

However, since you've already unlocked it, why don't keep it that way.

It won't harm your device unles you try to flash a wrong file.

From the E
[Moto E General] singhnsk:
No other reason besides the fact that I should be able to re-lock it when I need a repair under warranty. I am sure nobody is going to check the bootloader unlock logs at the Moto website to void my warranty, but they can definitely see the UNLOCKED indicator at the fastboot.

Plus it is not good to write something in the OP that is untrue. Something that is not tested should be marked already, NO? Many will be stuck here just like me.

You're a senior member here. Is it really not possible to lock it now? :eek:
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
You can try and flash the logo.bin. It'll remove the warning logo.

Though I'm not sure how Moto will treat the unlocked devices but chances are the IMEI are flagged. However, that's another story.

I haven't spend much time on this device to be certain but you can try something.

If its a software lock, it can be relocked by flashing the stock firmware files.

If it is dependant on the efuse state, then it can't be relocked.

And, Yes the OP should've confirmed it before posting.

From the E
[Moto E General] singhnsk:
Okay! I will try to flash the stock firmware now. The post which details the flashing process says that it locks the bootloader. So just need to confirm that :)
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
You'd be first one to test I guess.

From the E
[Moto E General] singhnsk:
And it works! Flash the stock Firmware and thereafter use the OEM LOCK command. It will verify all the files as original and then will lock the device. Checked the Fastboot and there it says "Locked. Status code 2". Earlier it was unlocked with status code as 3.

However, we still need to flash that logo.bin to get rid of the bootloader unlocked warning.

Another thing that I want to confirm here is that the bootloader can be unlocked again by using the same key that Motorola sent via email. So there is no need to request a new unlock code or whatever :) I hope I will save somebody's day of searching :D

BTW [MENTION=4022462]neo.ank[/MENTION]

Do you seem to have a workaround to mount the extSD as internal? Tried hell lot of things but nothing has helped me. I managed to install some apps to the ext SD, but some (like asphalt 8) still keep on eating the internal SD storage. And that 2GB is too less to help me with anything :(

Sorry for going off-topic here.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
Unfortunately, Kitkat limit the usage of sdcards. You can't swap cards anymore. However, you can try the app

Link2SD. It allows to store app/data on sdcards.You'll need to partition your card though (and a fast card is required)
[Moto E General] kramkumar:
Yes, I unlocked my bootloader, installed recovery and rooted my phone. Then I flashed stock firmware, my bootloader was locked. Again I unlocked my bootloader using the same unlock code supplied by Motorola during first process. Now my phone is again unlocked.
[Moto E General] overclockthesun:
I read here on a thread that unlocked bootloader shows a code as 2 instead of 0. Will relocking it bring it back to the original state or will it still be detectable by moto. You know just in case of a warranty claim, I want to be safe. You will have to excuse my question, my previous phone was the Defy and its bootloader was locked so this is the first time unlocking a bl for me.
[Moto E General] Hetalk:
You need a code from Motorola. So irrespective of what you do with your device, they know that warranty is void.
[Moto E General] overclockthesun:
that sucks. I will wait for a root method that does not involve unlocking bootloader. Man in this case sony is way better.
[Moto E General] :
Thanks...

But is unrooting via SuperSU compulsory???

Won't just flashing the recovery allow to go forward with the OTA???
[Moto E General] Lucas Eugene:
No you'll run into an error. and the phone would reboot till the battery drains completely

Also you can root afterwards.

Hey, thanks for the tutorial.

I just had one question.

Say, I have unlocked my bootloader, and then rooted and installed apps and have a lot of data on my device.

Now, an update comes up. So, I use the quoted procedure. That is, I flash the stock recovery and do a full unroot by super su.

Then, would I be losing all my data, messages and applications through this as well? Or, I'll just be unrooting to get the update and then I can root back, and in no way is any of my applications or data lost?

Which way is it?

No you won't be losing any data. Yes you'll have to root again after OTA

Linux Tools for unlocking boot loader?

Regarding steps 2 and 3: are there any Linux equivalents that will work? I can't install windows software on my computer. Also the Motorola site instructed me to only use Motorola's fastboot and phone drivers which also don't support Linux. Is there any workaround?
[Moto E General] Lucas Eugene:
I don't think it works with linux
[Moto E General] ozarkhill:
More thoughts on hacking Moto E with linux

After poking around with my Linux setup I discovered that some adb commands are native. I installed android for x86 in a virtual machine. Then I was able to use NAT for a socket to connect adb to the running VM and port adb through http to the android system. Then I was able to issue adb install commands to grab apks from the Linux system and successfully install the apks on the running android VM.

However the x86 android VM does not have a boot loader or flash type setup (uses grub) so I don't think I can test the commands I would use on the Moto E. Yet if anyone has any ideas on what I might try, if I am successful I will gladly post an outline on how to hack it on Linux.

Looking in my Linux packages there are several android tools but they seem different than what I've read about the SDK and windows drivers. It seems the documentation is sparse so I am stuck at the moment.

Root phone, keep data?

Be gentle with me, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to phones.

I have a Moto E and was dissatisfied with the minimal amount of storage space, so bought a 32GB MicroSD card, only to later learn that my Apps will not move to my external SD card; only media will.

I've researched a bit, and found that using "FolderMount" (apparently I cannot link it since I've not spammed the forum enough), I'd be able to achieve what I wanted, basically using the SD card as part of the filesystem instead of a separate storage space.

It requires that I root my phone, and this is where my questions come in. I have never rooted a phone before. Heck, this is the first phone I've ever owned, and I only got it because my boss gave me $140 and ordered me to get one, hahaha.

From what I've read, my phone will be wiped--any media, settings, ringtones, call logs, contacts, apps, app data, so on and so forth. There's a lot on my phone I'd like to keep, and I'd like to know if it was possible to backup my phone, perform the rooting process, and then restore the backup. Or would something like that overwrite the rooting, or just be impossible in some other way?

If it is possible, which method would you more-experienced users recommend for backup/restore?

I'm comfortable at a linux shell (I'll actually have to perform the rooting in a VirtualBox, since there are no Windows computers in my house, heh), so feel free to recommend command-line utilities if that's best.

Thanks in advance, and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

same problem

Guys, I am having the same problem that many others here are having. Every time I put my unlock data code into the Motorola website and click "can my device be unlocked" I get a popup saying "your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking". I have tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE, on two different computers and the result is always the same. I tried using Motorola's customer service chat and got no help. The first guy I talked to just said "we don't promote unlocking your bootloader" and disconnected the chat on me while I was still asking questions. Customer service rep number two was just as helpful, saying "certain devices do not support bootloader unlocking, and the Moto E is one of them". Obviously that isn't true. I'm stumped. I can't seem to get this thing unlocked and I am now wondering if it has something to do with where I purchased the phone, and/or the service carrier that I have.
