Question Can't unlock the bootloader again :(

[merlin200]

Hi,

I rooted, downgraded my Motorola G30 and now is not starting and it's hanging on warning screen. Did I bricked it?
Is there any possibility to rescue it.

What I did:

Unlock
1.adb reboot bootloader
2.fastboot devices
1.fastboot oem get_unlock_data
2.fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_KEY (with the key from Mortorola)
3.fastboot reboot

Downgrade from Android 12 to 11
1.adb reboot bootloader
2.fastboot devices

3.fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
4.fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
5.fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
6.fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
7.fastboot flash radio radio.img
8.fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
9.fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
10.fastboot flash logo logo.bin
11.fastboot flash boot boot.img
12.fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
13.fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
14.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0
15.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.1
16.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.2
17.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.3
18.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.4
19.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.5
20.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.6
21.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.7
22.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8
23.fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.9
24.fastboot erase carrier
25.fastboot erase userdata
26.fastboot erase metadata
27.fastboot erase ddr
28.fastboot reboot

After reboot Android 11 was installed and run correctly.
As next step I wanted to lock bootloader again.

1.I disabled USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking in Developer options in the menu and restarted.
2.adb reboot bootloader
3.fastboot devices
4.fastboot flashing lock

Now, after reboot I see a warning:

No valid operating system could be found.
The device will not boot
For more information, visit our support forums:
support.motorola.com

I know, I shouldn't properly disable the "USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking"
fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_KEY (with the key from Mortorola) is not working because the "USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking" in Developer options is enabled
PS Is also not possible to enter Recovery Mode

Thx for any help

Hello, good morning, afternoon or evening.
In this case, if you go to "bootloader mode" and look a little at what it says, there is a part where you can identify if the cell phone is UNLOCKED or LOCKED.
• If the bootloader says "oem_lock" the cell phone is LOCKED and in this case it is totally dead (it is most likely), the only solution is to change the board.
• If the bootloader says "oem_unlock" the phone is unlocked, so you can flash safely.

You will need to find the "short pin method" to get it into EDL so that you can use a Blankflash.

no need for that theres a tool that comes with it that reboots thr phone to edl from fastboot
