Relocked Bootloader... Bricked :(

[AndyMan386]

I need to wipe/relock bootloader because verizon sent me a replacement device because my screen cracked (you get one for free), any suggestions? I only have a few days. Computerfreek274 suggested that I install .44 via fastboot and then open a command prompt cmd.exe then enter " fastboot OEM lock".. Should that work?

For everyone with relocked by different reasons bootloaders which looks like 70.86(*) in my case and here https://plus.google.com/11473794480...6266357835653511202&oid=114737944807074302746
I have got this status of bootloader after using Turbo Unbrick tool

1) Download the most latest firmware for your device
2) Extract gpt.bin
3) Flash gpt.bin
4) Reboot bootloader/phone (Bootloader looks without (*) now. 70.8A in case of use this 5.1 firmware for XT1254 + on Mega)
5) Flash full firmware by RSD/recovery

Before I answer this question, I have to make one thing clear: DON'T EVER DO THIS!

Verizon will still replace your phone under warranty with an unlocked bootloader as long as there is no physical damage. Motorola will do the same. Even if they do decide to get picky about bootloaders, re-locking your bootloader does not erase all traces of it ever being unlocked. Your bootloader will show status code 2, which indicates that it has been unlocked and re-locked again. If you lock it before you sell it to someone else, and they try to unlock it again, the phone will be ruined. There is absolutely no reason to do this.

With that out of the way, the command is "fastboot oem lock"

Don't ever use it.

Hello. Since this thread is from eartly this year, do you know if Verizon will still warranty (moto screen assurance) a Turbo 1 if I leave the bootloader unlocked? The risk is a $275 penalty if they find evidence of change. of course I'll reinstall my stock backup and factory reset first.
Thanks very much.

Awesome - Thanks from bottom of my heart!

I did the same thing on my xt1254 this is what Beaups told me from sunshine and it worked for me. I did it from terminal emulated on the device and then was ablebto reflash twrp

tested this on my device and it worked. Keep in mind we can't guarantee it will work for you and also can't guarantee it won't kill your device (but I don't see why it should). Copy paste this command, do NOT make any errors.

From a ROOT adb shell (if you don't have root you'll need to figure out how to get it, kingroot, etc):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp bs=1 seek=8

It should hang for a few seconds and then you should see something like:

dd: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp: No space left on device
1048569+0 records in
1048568+0 records out
1048568 bytes transferred in 7.203 secs (145573 bytes/sec)

At that point reboot to bootloader and hopefully your problem is solved. Do NOT relock that device again in the future.

And a shout out to Beaups too!!!

I had raised a ticket with sunshine but due to time difference wasn't expecting reply for 12 hours....your post saved me sleepless night!!!
