[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Loperaco:
Hi, I'm Loperaco. Maybe they remind me of threads like "Help Help help !!! Deep Cable / Flash Cable Moto Z2 Force" or "How modify a qcn file to enable AWS band". Today I come to you with a new challenge, to keep your mind entertained during the Coronavirus quarantine.

I have this Moto Z2 Force with which I have had many adventures, lucky and unfortunate (I have spoiled it a couple of times), and this time is no different.

For silly (I have no other reason) forget to check the 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings after installing a new ROM on this cell phone that unlocked a long time ago, and then I got stuck in a loop in the bootloader, because when you try start shows the motorola message indicating "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" and when I go to the bootloader to try to flash because it is in "locked" state, so I cannot flash to recover the cel, and I can't start to unlock the OEM.

What I have tried to be able to unlock flashing:

- fastboot oem unlock: not working, I get it in "(bootloader) Check 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings> Developer Options"

- fastboot flashing unlock: not working, I get it in "(bootloader) Check 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings> Developer Options"

- fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability: Gives me instructions for initial unlocking via the Motorola website, which is a process that I went through a long time ago.

- fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: does not work, it results in "(bootloader) Check 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings> Developer / (bootloader) Options / OKAY [0.003s] / Finished. Total time: 0.006s"

I also tried to take the phone to blackflash mode and boot from there with Qualcomm drivers:

- adb reboot edl: results in "error: no devices / emulators found", because I am clearly not in ADB state.

- fastboot oem blankflash: results in "(bootloader) Command Restricted / FAILED (remote: '') / fastboot: error: Command failed"

- fastboot -w: results in "Erasing 'userdata' / (bootloader) Permission denied / FAILED (remote: '') / fastboot: error: Command failed"

- fastboot oem edl: results in "(bootloader) 'edl' is not a supported oem command / (bootloader) See 'fastboot oem help' / FAILED (remote: '') / fastboot: error: Command failed"

- fastboot oem -edl: results in "D: \ Desktop \ 3. Moto Z2 Force \ 2. Platform-tools \ 1a. Platform-tools v.29.0.6 \ fastboot.exe: unknown option -e"

I also tried to install the custom recovery (fastboot boot twrp.img) and it turned out that if you let me install it (yeah!), But when you reboot to boot with TWRP I get the message "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot ", so don't let TWRP (f.u.c.k!) start.

Lastly, and without giving up in the face of adversity, I tried to reinstall the same ROM that I had but it throws me denials of everything for having the "Flashing_locked". It turns out that that particular variation (XT1789-05_NASH_RETLA_SS_9.0_PPX29.159-23_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) doesn't have a higher ROM available (or at least I didn't find it), so I tried to install a higher one from another variation and I didn't leaves the same Flashing topic blocked (NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-24_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml).

Any good Samaritan with an almighty idea?
