[GUIDE] [Osprey] BOOTLOADER LOCK

[ExaHamza]

BISSMILLAH
Hi, this guide will help you to relock your bootloader, in a few commands.
We know that it's was a tabu on Moto G3 environment, but a few times a go.

Requirement
OSPREY with considerable charge
PC/LAPTOP running Windows or Ubuntu (or other Linux Based OS also)
Only For Windows Users
Drivers: http://bit.ly/1WMv2L1
Only For Linux Users
Open TERMINAL and run the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Both Of Users
Official Images: http://bit.ly/1GfUqwr
Fastboot Files: http://bit.ly/1OncC0H

BEFORE PROCEED:
Relocking your bootloader means that you will no longer be a"tweaker" no TWRP no ROOT, no any other mods.
And its required to full flash the official images, so say goodbye for Custom ROMs.
In this process you'll lose all you data stored on internal storage, including all accounts, musics, videos, pic, installed apps. So, it's a good time to BackUp your important files.
After lock, on bootloader screen you should see:
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 2
Software status: Modified
(For Now) We Cant Change to 0 and official, but's locked.
The bootloader warning messege will appear, after all procedure change the official logo.bin with modified.
You'll need to factory reset your device before.
Ubuntu users will need permission to use fastboot commands, so run su before.
The system.img_sparsechunk files are variable, so make sure you have flashed sequentially until the last.


FQA:
Q: If I relock my bootloader, will I have my warranty alive again?
A: No.

Q: Can i install TWRP or Root after lock my device's bootloader?
A: No, maybe with some unknown tricks by me.

Q: How to (re)unlock?
A: In order to unlock your devices again you need to allow it on developer settings and also you'll need your bootloader code.
for security reason don't expose these information, turn off OEM unlock on developer setting and hide your unlock code given by Moto.

PROCEED:
Download required files, and place on easy-find-place.
Extract both of files and the images files on [adb-fastboot-latest_win_linux] folder.

And open CMD or TERMINAL on this folder
Connect your device to via USB CABLE

Test it, if everything is fine by running this command:

fastboot devices

You'll see [SERIAL NUMBER] fastboot
Meaning everything is OK.

Now just run this sequence of commands:

fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot

Now Your Bootloader will locked Successfully

Q: If I relock my bootloader, will I have my warranty alive again?

A: I don't know, probably no. Even after relocking your bootloader, it's possible to see if the smartphone was previously unlocked or not.

It will not allow you regain your warranty... Get the code, lose your warranty, the actual state of the device being locked, unlocked, modified or stock is not relevant.

Many people think this is the key to getting their warranty back... I didn't want anyone to be misinformed.

you're completely in the right, but sometimes local retailers only look at the bootloader status to check the warranty. so in theory you can gain your warranty back.

No, you're not gaining your warranty back, you are being deceptive and in most countries breaking the law as well.

Remember that in most EU countries the bootloader lock/unlock status is not relevant though, due to local laws in most countries there. (I noticed you were from the Netherlands)

My question is: in bootloader, after the commands, the device status is locked, software status is official and status code is 0? That's the information in a never-unlocked bootloader.
And the unlocked bootloader mensage desapear?

 

[ExaHamza]

In my case I have device LOCKED software status Modified and status code is 2 and the warning message didn't disappeared...
I don't know with your details...

but if you're seeing warning message you can flash different logo.bin

My guide is always on update, please check new information.

I have a query. If someone locks his bootloader using this, and wants to unlock again, will he need the code that he got from motorola again or just fastboot oem unlock will open it up? This is my first moto so I don't know the details. Any ideas mate?

Read carefully the guide, on FAQ section, I have explained that!

@ExaHamza - It is impossible to permanently lock Bootloader once it has been unlocked. I don't know how else to say this.

fastboot oem lock is not a miracle cure. It can simply be undone by anyone with fastboot access to your handset. Once you have unlocked the Bootloader, anyone can flash TWRP and has access to every partition on your phone. It's impossible for you to stop this. FRP partition can be wiped, so FRP does not exist either. FRP can only function as designed if the handset has never had it's Bootloader unlocked.

 

[ExaHamza]

On every possibility you're speaking I have tried, and no way to install TWRP after relocking. I'm not saying in theory, I have this device, and I have tested. So if you still able to install TWRP after locking the bootloader, believe me that's issue of your smartphone!

What happens if you type fastboot oem unlock and then try to flash TWRP?

See the screenshot
don't worry about nexus.... is just a folder that i stored the file.

@ExaHamza - Over the years people have posted problems with Moto G (1st Gen) and have mentioned they have relocked the Bootloader. These experiences have given me the impression that it's something that can be undone easily. This is why I believed fastboot oem unlock would be enough.

After typing: fastboot oem lock begin - is it possible to flash TWRP?

I showed in screenshot, even if I try fastboot oem lock begin will not work, I think that they have fixed this issue. Once locked no longer be able to flash TWRP unless you have reunlock.
