Hi, I have a Moto One (deen retail) XT1941-3, and I had unlocked the bootloader, but now I want to lock it again, I followed instructions I saw on the internet, rooted it, installed the stock rom, etc. But when I go to the settings, in OEM unlock it appears: The bootloader is already unlocked. and also it is disabled and greyed out. I saw here on the XDA forum that I needed to root, but I already did!! Can someone help me!?

Hi, be careful! Never lock the bootloader if you have a custom rom or root installed! Otherwise, you will block the phone and it will no longer be possible to start it. You have to install stock rom and type
Code:
fastboot oem lock
command. Good luck 🤗

Thanks, I didn't know I couldn't have root, but I already have the stock rom installed and I removed the root, but it still gives this error. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything here on the forum about this. :(

Look:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) WARNING: This command erases all user data.
(bootloader) Please re-run this command to continue.

The error tells you that you have to enable "oem unlock" in the developer settings, otherwise it won't work.

Thank you, would you know how long I need to wait to block it again? Because I unlocked the bootloader in January, I tried to block it but it didn't work, so this week I tried again, it didn't work, I already reinstalled the stock rom about 6 times but it never worked and every time I waited more than 7 days but it never worked , I'm starting to think my device is having issues.
When I run "fastboot flashing lock" it gives the same error, but says "(bootloader) This creates a recovery to unlock if Android fails to boot."
I don't have much experience with A/B devices, I started in January, before that I had a samsung so I used odin and it also only had A slot, which was much easier.
Did I do something wrong?

Have you been waiting since January? 😐 So I really don't know what to do with it.. And why do you want to lock the bootloader?

I also have an unlocked bootloader on my Motorola + I have a custom rom installed and I have root and I don't want to go back to the stock rom 😅
Actually I just wanted to remove the unlocked bootloader warning image...
but i was also happy with my android 10 but now that you mentioned not blocking i thought i would not try to block it again!
But, do you know why slot B does not work?
because it is also another reason, I always wanted to install something in slot B but it gives an error. :(
