According to 4PDA you CAN relock the bootloader after converting. But it was tried on earlier firmware AND somebody reported that he bricked his device this way on later firmware. Maybe he messed something else up and it was not related - but I am not willing to take the risk, personally.

Relocking wipes the phone afaik.
Just to report:
My outer display on the razr 2022 (cn rom unlocked and converted to eu rom)
quit working now after 5 months. So I have to send it for guarantee repair.
Did not want to do this with this annoying warnIng message for bootloader on start up.

So I relocked bootloader again and it IS WORKING!
Relock did wipe the device, but still is on eu rom and software channel is reteu and ota update search works. (device did get ota firmware updates from reteu before, actually is on s3sls32.16-72-14-4)

So will now send it for repair hoping they will not refuse it because of change of rom.

Did you guys find any version that's compatible with Netflix and other streaming apps?
I currently have latest update on 16-72-31 which takes out 8K30fps compatibility and only would allow 4K60 for the record

I have just successfully re-locked my bootloader as well. Getting ready to sell this phone if Motorola doesnt fix the camera soon. Really tired of their refusal to communicate.

Here is the full guide to re-lock:
...
Mate, seriously, you are a gosh-darned God!

Here's my story in a nutshell:
  • I love clamshells and think they make total sense as a form-factor, so I bought the Razr 2022 as soon as it came out, which meant I got the Chinese version.
  • That came with a lot of limitations I (naively) didn't expect, so I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader and flash it to the global version (then went through hell ... but eventually got it there ... to bypass Company Portal so I could use it for work - because Microsoft does a hell of a job detecting Magisk's work).
  • However, there were ongoing little niggles that were becoming too much of a pain in the ass, and with cyber security and data breaches becoming like the new battlefield of our age, not being able to update OTA without wiping everything and going through the whole process again just became too much trouble.
  • So, I went out and bought the same version, but from an Australian retailer.
  • However, that meant I now had two of the same phone and the one I wanted to sell was jail-broken and not updatable - I needed to try and take the risk and return it to the Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader to sell it.
I followed this word-for-word and it worked without a single problem.

On top of that, and just for your information to add to your guide, I never made a backup of my original CN ROM.

So, in your guide, you've said that flashing the backup reduces the risk of bricking, but I never flashed a backup and I didn't have any problems at all - purely thanks to your outstanding work.

Thank you SO MUCH.

You have absolutely no obligation to post stuff like this, but it's incredibly invaluable to so many people.

Thank you.

FIRST OFF: If you have not bought the phone yet and plan on getting it: DON'T. The camera is broken and Motorola refuses to communicate with their customers. Is a fix coming? I someone working on it? Who knows. The phone is also still on Android 12. DO NOT BUY MOTOROLA PHONES.

    Think that's only if you restore original firmware

    Remembering that the original firmware is the CN ROM. Better not lock.

    Global Firmware:
    - EQS_G_S3SQ32.16-16-22 (Brazilian)
    - EQS_G_S3SQ32.16_16_28 (Thanks to @onken)

    Where to find Firmware:
    - Lolinet
    - Rescue and Smart Assistant (only for your original device)

    It would be great if some Edge 30 Ultra buyers could download the global firmware through the Rescue and Smart Assistant and share a zip.

    Tools:
    -
    Universal Mount System RW (Guide)
    -> Fix for Android 12

    - Universal Safetynet Fix Magisk Module

    How to Update:
    If you don't get OTA updates simply follow these steps. You need a PC with working global ADB and fastboot.

    01. Download the latest Firmware from lolinet
    02. Extract it, open servicefile.xml and copy the contents into this website
    03. Reboot your phone into fastboot (adb reboot fastboot or press and hold Power + Volume Down)
    04. Open a CMD window in the extracted folder, paste the commands from the website and hit enter
    05. Don't disconnect the phone until the update has finished.

    It might be possible to upgrade by putting the firmware zip into the root of your phone, booting into recovery and selecting install firmware from zip. I didnt test this yet.

    I updated my locked bootloader device(frankenstein:))) via fastboot with no data loss🥳

    Important!!! Only when updating the rom of the same region. e.g RETEU: S3SQ32.16-16-28 --> S3SQ32.16-53-9 --> S3SQ32.16-53-13 such as.
    Don't RETCN --> RETEU versions!!!

    Steps:

    1. We extract the rom/updated rom .zip
    e.g : XT2241-2_EQS_RETEU_12_S3SQ32.16-53-13_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml
    2. We put the flashfile.bat we created (2.post: ''02. Extract, open servicefile.xml and copy the content to this site'') into the rom folder you extracted. Edit, we delete these lines:
    fastboot erase apdp
    fastboot erase apdpb
    fastboot erase debug_token
    fastboot erase carrier
    fastboot erase userdata
    fastboot erase metadata
    fastboot erase ddr
    And save it.
    3. Download the mfastboot ADB i gave and put it in the rom folder you extracted.
    4. Everything is ready, put your device in fastboot mode and click on the ''flashfile.bat'' file.

    Enter when the flashing is finished. Your device will start.
    Up-to-date software is ready to use without deleting any of your data. Enjoy👍
