How do I get the bootloader to relock?I tried fastboot oem lock but it tells me to use fastboot oem lock begin first so I do that and then it says to flash signed image first so I do and then the process starts all over again.I want to relock so I can return the phone but I can't get it to lock,keep getting the run around by my computer

I figured it out,instead of running the .bat file you have to flash 1 by 1 using fastboot.The .bat file will automatically reboot the phone and the locking process can't happen.it doesn't say relocked,just locked status code 2 but the people at Motorola will know the difference but those at best buy won't, I just need to exchange it for another,the volume rocker sticks.I thank all for the replies and the help

What files need to be manually ran?
I am running into the same issues you were.
I can't get any of the files to flash though.

Thanks

The files a couple posts up will get you back to stock but first you have to type in fastboot OEM lock begin.Then flash all files inside the zip one by one starting with gpt..bin,then boot loader,then the boot.IMG,followed by the rest one by one until you get all of them flashed.Then type fastboot oem lock and it'll give you conformation that it was successful. It'll wipe your data so if you have photos or music you don't want to lose then back it all up.you'll be relocked afterwards.if you need further help p.m. me and I'll be glad to give a hand.Oh,make sure your adb and fastboot is up to date

Thanks for the rundown, ended up getting it. I was running into computer problems seemed to lose connection to my phone. Lots of tries but eventually got it to work.
