Although I flashed the whole mm firmware including the logo.bin, the logo I'm getting is the old one 1454482429909.jpg, instead of the new one1454482460551.jpg.
Maybe it didn't flash properly. Could someone please post the logo.bin file so I don't need to download it again as I've already deleted the firmware? Or does everybody have the same logo?

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.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
[B][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6[/COLOR][/B]

Are you following the tutorial? Are you actually flashing all of the sparsechunk files in your zip and not just copy and pasting the tutorial? Did you do a 'Factory data reset' before flashing?

It might also help to see a log of the flashing process. Copy and paste command prompt screen. Take screenshots if necessary.

I never said anything was broken or wasn't working, I'm not sure why you quoted me.

relock commd pls for xt1557 . i want lock again bootloader
Why? It will always be marked as having been unlocked, so why bother locking it again, there is zero gain and most people would say this could be negative if you have ever manually flashed anything.

FYI, relocking will not regain your warranty, it was gone the moment you accepted Moto's T&C and got the token, even if you didn't actually unlock it.

This isn't kind of OT for this thread, Google it... All recent Motorola devices do it the same way. You must wipe and clean flash your stock rom image in the process.

Then your the first person to not get this, and lots of Europeans here have unlocked their devices. I can't say anything about your local laws, but Motorola's website makes it extremely clear that by going through the process you accept the T&C and you agree that your warranty is voided by getting the unlock token.

On the other hand, if local laws say it does not void the warranty, why bother relocking?

When i unlocked the phone i read something about warning your phone will be damage, after searching in internet about the European laws in this cases, sais the customer will dont loose the warranty of the phone by a software modification, so i understand, if the phone will be damage by a unofficial software maybe you can loose the warrany, but if the problem is for the hardware, it will be fixed by the warranty. you can find info about your local law in internet. in Europe is like this,

Regards

True... I just Googled it, Motorola did say that European customers who unlock will still have a partial warranty for the hardware only, any software issue or an issue caused by software modification, will not be covered. Guess that GMT tax gets balanced out a little bit here and there. :) Wish the rest of world got something like this, would probably help the development community.

Developer editions will still be covered under full warranty, software and hardware, worldwide even if unlocked.

Yes, is nice to know about this, in this case with Motorola, they take a lot of time to put out the 6.0 version, when always was a faster brand doing this, for this reason i didnt wait for android m on my phone, i was installed CM13, and it works really good! all working, good velocity, the battery expend the same than stock motorola 5.1.1, a great option CM13.

That seems to have been the case with European models on the older G models also. Originally I thought it was because the 2nd Gen European model came out with 2 different displays, one good, one terrible. Since Motorola has closed the US manufactoring facility and they're all made in the same place, I guess the European laws are a little better in that regard. Of course, Motorola has the small print that states that they're the final decision on whether it's hardware or failure due to software.

From my perspective, if there is a question mark over logo.bin not flashing successfully - then there is a question mark over the entire flashing process.

Any plans on adding the 2GB Marshmallow version for the XT1540 (Unlocked Moto G 3rd Gen)? I gather the unlocked version and US Retail are equivalent? I really only need the recovery.....Would the 1 GB version have the same recovery file a the 2GB version? If not, where would I find the 2GB full firmware or recovery image?
