Use the code you already have. It's unique to your device.

this is just a quick howto am at work....
the files you need and will use are in moto g section of this forum.

firmware's here

relock bootloader
=============
keep in mind this will remove any and all personal files and settings
like any self respecting android user you have made backups right....!!!! GOOD

download adb and fastboot extract or place into a directory.
now download the factory firmware image of your phone extract zip/rar and place into the same directory.

download "relock bootloader.txt" rename to "relock bootloader.bat" place this in the same directory as the files and double click it ,this would save you typing in all the commands from below in by hand and does it all for you.recap....if you did download and run relock bootloader.bat you dont need to type anything form below

open a command prompt as administrator ,navigate to the directory where you placed all the files we are working with and type as follows giving time for each command to finish.

fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem lock

when i try to flash system image i got error can t open file imagine
whats wrong?

 

[RazorHail]

wth i just doing wrong???
the firmware is Blur_Version.14.91.11.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE

he gives me this error and on the phone says failed to validate system image

I think I solved this problem.....

executing "fastboot flash system system.img" didn't work for me either (permission denied)
But surprisingly it worked with the fastboot.exe included in the firmware-images zip-file....

so just do a "cd" to the root-directory of the folder, and then:
> Windows\fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(since the fastboot.exe is in the 'windows' subfolder)
this way, you won't be using your installed ADB/fastboot-versions, but the ones that are in the zip-file



unfortunately the logo.bin was still said "bootloader unlocked". though the bootloader said "locked". so you just have to manually flash the logo.bin from here:

So there is no way to get the warranty back, yet?

When flashing the system image sparse bundles as part of restoring stock firmeware, you have to use the supplied Moto Fastboot which is part of the zip file you downloaded with the stock images (I think). Using the stock android fastboot.exe will fail flashing moto system images for some reason even on unlocked bootloader.

This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1953948 has the Motorola version of fastboot to download (if it is ever not in the zip of stock firmeware). Just download this and use as fastboot. It allowed me to flash the system images (all three sparsechunck sections).

Motorola knows always if you have once unlocked bootloader. So if you are not living in EU area and have unlocked bootloader your warranty is gone. I don't think there is any way to get one's hands to motorola's database

I also live in EU, Italy, and i never had problem with warranty and unlcked bootloader.
Unless they proves that the damage was actually caused by the unlocked bootloader then you're in a barrel of iron, at least here.
EU is not United States, luckly. It's a your right the warranty, locked or unlocked bootloader it makes no difference. They must always prove that damage is caused by unlocked bootloader, so which "real damges" are caused by unlocked bootloader? So...
Here, in Italy but in all EU the consumer is protected, i think also in your country.

If you have root, go into cache folder, then recovery. You can read the files. Maybe something in there will help with the resetting

I'm not sure about the Moto G but there are some phones where the bootloader can't be re-locked (e.g. Motorola Atrix HD) to restore the warranty because unlocking will blow certain Qfuses.

QFuses and Trusted Boot

Much of Qualcomm's security architecture is implemented using QFuses, which are software-programmable fuses that allow one-time configuration of device settings and cryptographic materials such as hashes or keys. Because of their physical nature, once a QFuse has been blown, it is impossible to "unblow" it to revert its original value.

If the FORCE_TRUSTED_BOOT QFuse is blown, as is the case on all production Motorola devices, each stage of the boot chain is cryptographically verified to ensure only authorized bootloader stages may be run. In particular, the PBL ("Primary Bootloader"), which resides in mask ROM, verifies the integrity of the SBL1 ("Secondary Bootloader") via a SHA1 hash. Each stage of the boot chain verifies the next stage using RSA signatures, until finally Motorola's APPSBL ("Application Secondary Bootloader"), "MBM", is loaded and run.

re: Unlock Bootloader

Just remember that unless you download the Motorola version of FASTBOOT, you won't be able to flash the Sparsechunk files...

You will get:
C:\sdk-tools>fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
erasing 'system'...
(bootloader) Permission denied
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.016s

Once I downloaded the Motorola version of fastboot from here: http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/06/unroot-motorola-moto-g/ (see link in this article) - - - (or just google for Motorola g fastboot)

Also, the final step here, it says:
C:\sdk-tools>fastboot oem lock
... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 17.659s


it will still lock the bootloader - you can verify by reboot the device and you will see bootloader status "Locked"


Hope this helps

No. You have even lost your warranty once you generate the unlock code.

 

[lost101]

Given European Directive 1999/44/CE, just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty.

https://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/liberate.en.html

Does rooting your phone invalidate its warranty? (In EU)

In short: No. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.

Not everybody lives in the EU.

I know these links and i also had a discussion about that here at XDA because i know that it is not that easy for Motorola with this policy in the EU. Anyway it is important to know, that even requesting the Unlock code voids your warranty, at least for other users. Cause i read somewhere that somebody only wanted to request this code but not use it.

Okay, maybe i have quoted the wrong person......but anyway. I think it is important to know.

trying this method to relock the system sparsechunk 0 1 and 2 failed said bootloader permission denied. now i cant get into recover, is there a way to reflash from the desktop without getting into recovery?

I went through all this and got the same failed to lock message. When i restart the phone i still get the bootloader unlocked message before it starts up but in fastboot it is relocked status code 2

Edit: used the logo.bin to remove the warning!
