[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
Hi. Thanks a lot for your guide.

I have unlocked bootloader with android 6.0.1 from lost101's post.

Can I download the factory image for android 6.01 and flash it the way you said?

If it is true, afterwards I get a stock phone with relocked bootloader, right?

After this, can I follow this guide to get rid of unlocked bootloader message? Or can I just replace the logo.bin file when I follow your guide?

Thanks a lot.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Yes, you get a stock phone with a relocked bootloader, and I don't believe you get the Unlock Bootloader message anymore either so you don't need to flash anything. Remember that getting the bootloader locked will not return your warranty status though.
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
Thanks. Can you/somebody confirm this?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Eh... I have an unused Moto G3 that is unlocked but otherwise stock and blank, and I still have the unlock code. I'll give it a go. Not much else to do on a hot, muggy Saturday afternoon. :/
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
I'll ask lost101 in his thread if I can replace the logo.bin file when flashing his stock images.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
OK, so I followed the procedure in the OP, it got stuck on first boot, I had to repeat the process and do a factory reset in recovery prior to the procedure... it definitely locks the bootloader, although it did still show the Bootloader Unlocked warning screen...

Before starting procedure in first boot:

Device is UNLOCKED. Status code: 3

Software Status: Modified

After following the procedure in first post:

Device is LOCKED. Status code: 2

Software Status: Modified

I did try to stop the process early, like by skipping the sparcechunks or something in order to try to keep root or something, but it failed... if I didn't flash every piece all the way through to the end, I would get this message:

I was still able to unlock it again with the same unlock code, and it did wipe any data for the subsequent unlock, so any amount of personal security you get from relocking is decent. So in the end, there isn't much it does but provide a small amount of security.

As far as removing the Unlocked Bootloader warning screen, I find the attached file by [MENTION=4480917]Alberto97[/MENTION] from this thread works well and survives a factory default. Personally, I am going to leave mine unlocked and flash this via a one-time TWRP boot.
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
Thanks for your effort. What I would like to do is simply return to stock, relock and then change the unlocked bootloader warning. Is it possible to flash the logo.bin after doing the factory firmware flash? After doing that I won't have twrp to flash alberto's file.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Not once a lock has occurred... Well unlocked you can boot TWRP with fastboot and flash it.
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
Alberto's logo will not survive the bootloader lock, will it? What do you think? In the process, what if we use alberto's file as logo.bin? Would that remove the unlocked bootloader message?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
No, it will not survive a bootloader lock. The file is not a logo, it modifies a string to display the normal Moto logo instead of unlocked logo. Unsigned files cannot be flashed in the oem lock or fb_mode_set modes of flashing.

Basically, if your relocked your probably not going to get rid of the Unlocked warning screen.
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
[MENTION=3938119]zedaale[/MENTION]

After lock the bootloader:

The warning will appear, so you'll need to flash a different logo.bin, logo is a unique partition that you can replace after relocking a bootloader.

Sorry, I was really busy in these days.
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
My bootloader is locked, and I'm using Google Nexus's logo.
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
How do you flash the logo after relocking the bootloader?

Would this (http://techbeasts.com/how-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-moto-g2015-x-style-play/) work?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
How?

I don't think you can fastboot flash an unsigned file with a locked bootloader.
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
download any logo.bin file for osprey and flash it via fastboot.

most of boot logo made for us a packed on zip file, just extract you'll find it.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Just read your post in another thread saying the same thing... Thanks for the info!
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
I'm sorry for being a little noob , but does the guide I mentioned work with a locked bootloader?

How do I flash it?
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
After lock bootloader, reboot system, the warning message will appear, just reboot to fastboot again, take a different logo.bin file (your preferred) but I tested this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzYJzSCMX8M_Y3FaZUZHTl9CTDA/view?usp=drivesdk (sorry for the link not managed ????) and is working on mine.

To flash:

Run the specific command

fastboot flash logo GNlogo.bin

This will replace with Google Nexus's 6P logo, to flash Moto logo use logo.bin file modified by lost101 or Alberto, or others, but remember to flash.

Extract the files and use .bin file.
[Moto G 2015 General] PalmCentro:
Wow, this is news for me.

So we can flash any modified (custom) logo.bin on any locked device?
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
YES
[Moto G 2015 General] zedaale:
Just followed your guide. Everything is like I wanted it to be.

Locked and with the original logo.

Thanks a lot.

[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
I'd like to make anyone who has - unlocked their Bootloader and re-locked it - aware of a potentially serious situation.

User [MENTION=6044723]Morphine1[/MENTION] has re-locked his phone and now has a handset that will not accept any Factory Firmware Image currently available. This is a form of 'downgrade prevention.' Eventually a newer firmware image will be released and the handset useable again, but it may take months of waiting.

Post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68442857&postcount=710

For now it's worth considering that if your handset bricks (it can happen randomly) - you may be unable to flash any firmware image and be stuck with a dead phone.

--

Update: [MENTION=6044723]Morphine1[/MENTION]'s phone apparently got into this situation because of a failed Motorola OTA upgrade to Android 6.0.1. The upgrade process either failed or got interrupted and this appears to have created corruption on the phone. The OTA Upgrade process also flashes Bootloader - which is why it's a serious matter if something goes wrong.

Again the message here is that if you have unlocked your Bootloader - leaving it unlocked will give you more options for recovery. It may have been possible to repair the phone via TWRP / ADB had "OEM Unlocking" been enabled.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Good information!!!

BTW, to anyone who has unlocked, then subsequently relocked the bootloader... your original unlock code still works. I can verify that this works and unlocks the bootloader again. Note that once you lock the bootloader, the "OEM unlocking" flag in Developer Options will be turned off automatically, you must turn it on again.
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
Thanks for your information, monthly constantly I reset my phone and reinstall everything again (is just a habit), and I remember that sometimes I flashed those file without any problems.
[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
I updated the post above with more information. The situation described will only happen to a very small percentage of users. However it could occur for anyone, even those that have never unlocked their Bootloader - but obviously they can return the phone if still under warranty.

As I mention, with "OEM Unlocking" enabled - more options are available to repair the phone. If Bootloader corruption occurs, or the phone hard-bricks entirely then a recovery method like the following would be required:

[Moto G 2015 General] Mukesh kalaga:
can i downgrade my mobile (moto g 2015 cm14) to stock android 5.1.1 and lock bootloader without any problems
[Moto G 2015 General] ExaHamza:
If you have installed stock 6.0.1 probably you can't downgrade, in fact there's some guide to do it, but I heard that is not secure.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
It doesn't matter if you unlocked it or not... if you generated the unlock code on Moto's site that is all it takes, if they key in the IMEI or serial number they will know immediately that the warranty is void.

That and the lock status cannot be returned to 0, at least we don't know how to do it yet and it's doubtful we will be able to.
[Moto G 2015 General] althafvly:
you can downgrade. but the status code will be same. wont change to 0
[Moto G 2015 General] khaotik:
does this work for merlin?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
With the appropriate firmware and commands for it, yes... But you cannot downgrade and lock.

I can confirm this works for Merlin, with one thing: I couldn't execute the gpt partition command. but the whole process works in the end

I'm running latest version of lineageos on my osprey, and I was wanting to try out android pay. I have unrooted but I'm wondering if I re-lock bootloader, will TWRP stay in place and allow me to continue to flash custom ROMs in the future. Android pay is refusing to run because it knows I am either rooted, bootloader unlocked, or running a custom rom. I'm curious how to work around this.

Have you checked with flashing Magisk Root & passing after Safety net .. this thread will help you - https://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-pass-safetynet-custom-roms-t3603609
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
You can't relock the bootloader unless you are completely stock and flash a stock image which will remove TWRP and LineageOS.

I don't think you understand what a Bootloader lock is... If locked, in general you cannot modify any system level portion, like recovery, boot image, system partition, etc... Which means no TWRP, no custom ROM, etc.

If somehow you managed to relock the bootloader with TWRP or LineageOS installed, it wouldn't boot since the boot image or recovery image won't have the correct signature... Basically, you would have a unrecoverable brick.
[Moto G 2015 General] cllewis1:
Yes, magisk manager is installed as well as the magisk zip file, I have superuser via magisk, I can open up build.prop, after mounting /system/ as R/W, but when I add the line to build.prop, it won't save! Tells me just that it failed to save, no reason why or anything. Ideas?

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

This was in fact exactly what I thought but I have seen other forums where the advice was to re-lock the bootloader in order to get android pay to work. I'm interested in android pay mainly just to test it out and see how it works - curiosity - so now I'm trying to figure out how to work around safety net.
[Moto G 2015 General] cllewis1:
the safety fix found here was the missing link for me: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74228114&postcount=194

But I am not seeing where I can use Android pay in stores; does the osprey not have the ability to do NFC, even on a custom ROM?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
That is correct, but you must be PURE stock.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groove9281:
Is anybody having this problem? When I am playing music over bluetooth to my car stereo or to bluetooth headphones, I can't hear any of my notification sounds.

The music gets quieter for a second or two and if I really pay attention I can just barely make out the sound of the notification. But really the only way I know that I had a notification is that the music volume turns down for a bit.

With Lollipop, everything worked as expected. The volume of the music would turn down and the notification would play loudly. I'm not sure why this change happened.

Any ideas?

Hello. So i installed CyanogenMod 13.0 Nightlies and its awesome, works great, looks great and etc. but i have problem. When i want to install SU i cant do it in normal mode. When i selected TWRP method and installed it from recovery, it restarted phone and i got error: Boot certification verify (it does not go to recovery and also deos not boot system). So i had to reinstall everything (i mean 47A kdz, than downgrade to 10B, than root, instal twrp, su etc and than install CM13.

So i tried 5 times with different SU versions. Same every time. :( If someone knows details how to fix it, please respond. Thanks. :)
[Verizon LG G3] Droid_JD:
Are you just trying to get Root access in CM13?

This is for Root in Cm13, if that's not your question, please disregard.

I don't think you need to flash/recovery SU. Root is built into cm13, you can enable it in the "Developer Options" (DO) settings.

If DO is not available to you, go to settings> about phone. Then tap "Build Number" 5-10 times until the toast notification tells you that DO is enabled.

Then go into the DO settings, and "Root Access" is maybe 5-6 options down.

Hope this helps/answered your question.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I know some people prefer to use SuperSU rather than CM's built-root option, but I'm sorry I can't advise regarding it since I haven't fooled with CM in about a year or more.

I just wanted to say that you didn't have to flash the 47A KDZ - you could go directly to flashing the 10B TOT. You can always flash the 10B KDZ instead, but since I was educated (and experienced) that TOTs flash more partitions and fix more problems than flashing KDZs, I just TOT when there's a choice.

Hi

I have recently aquired a Gionee W909 from China,

its running a Mediatek MT6755.

Since this phone is currently only available in China, the stock rom AmigoOS sv1.2 is the only rom I can find for it. and its based on lollipop 5.1

The phone comes without any gapps at all. Since I am using this in North America, I need all the gapps installed.

Kingroot works on this phone, so my phone is rooted with kingroot, trying to install gapp

I have googled a few articles saying install google framework, login service, play service, and then install vending in system/app via RE, and then install play store.

all the methods relating to downloading the service/framework apk, and then putting vending in system, have all failed catastrophically.

all of these ends up with a "service" has stopped working, and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", i've tried installing everything in system/app, or some in system/app, always made sure chmod is rw r r, and nothing worked.

I have also been trying to flash tk gapps and open gapps, downloaded ver 5.1 tried both 32 bit and 64bit. The stock recovery menu has an option to flash a zip onto it, it just doesnt read the tk gapps or the open gapps, the installation always terminate after a few seconds.

so i wanted to flash a twrp or a cwm recovery onto it, but there isnt one made for this phone yet, so i found another gionee phone, gn9007's twrp recovery which was on a chinese site, and tried to flash that in with its own one click flashing software. and it failed. Which seemed to me that boot loader is locked.

so I installed drivers and adb and fastboot.

when i tried fastboot oem unlock, the phone did prompt me and ask me if i wanted to unlock bootloader, and i pressed volume up/yes, and it gives me an error saying unlock operation is not allowed. none of the other flash oem commands work, such as flash oem device-info or flash oem get_identifier_token or get_unlock_data

so now im stuck trying to install gapps on this phone.

any idea is welcome.

thanks

Edit 1

today i tried using flashfire to flash the gapps zip file, and it didnt work, flashfire just stayed black screen for hours, even though the phone is rooted, theres no twrp or cwm made for it, is there any other way? I have also tried google installer made for MIUI, and ended up with service has stopped working, and com.google.process.gapps has stopped
