I've successfully reverted back to stock rom using the rescue software but couldn't figure out how to relock the bootloader. Could anyone post a tutorial on it?
Question Reverting to stock and relocking bootloader
- Thread starter raiprasant62
- Start date
Will I get widevine L1 support back if I relock bootloader? And will I be able to unlock it again?
@raiprasant62 it is VERY CRITICAL that you have the correct stock ROM variant for your model installed before relocking bootloader or it'll lock and give a corrupt device warning and fail to boot!!!!
The ONLY safe way to relock bootloader is to use Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant tool and then boot into the ROM and then attempt relocking

Has anyone successfully relocked the phone and checked Widevine L1 status after relock?
I read somewhere here that once unlocked.. this phone can never get L1 back and is stuck on L3 forever. But I can't find where. I wonder if it's speculation or has anyone actually tried it?

is there a fully working TWRP build available for this device which can backup /data? if yes then backup your data -> relock the bootloader -> boot into system and see what will happen.
As far as I know, there's no working TWRP currently, but I will keep looking. I haven't seen anyone talk about using it.
I did find this, from here, but I haven't found anyone talk about the pros and cons or if it worked or not. My phone hasn't been unlocked yet, because I'm unsure if I will get L1 back if I ever relock it. If I unlock it, I'll test a few of the ROMS on here out and see what happens.

that's all I could find, too. but it's unclear if it's able to decrypt & backup /data.
I assume it would be possible to bring back L1 since it depends on your verified boot state. it's like the Play Store certification I think.
Yeah it seems so.
Like you said in post #5, it seems the most important thing is to make sure to have correct version of stock rom installed for correct model. Outside of that, it just seems there aren't many people relocking in order to confirm it. But it seems like it should work like with any other phones. I've seen other Motorola users (for other models) that it relocks fine. I'm not sure where it came from that this phone can't do that, maybe it was a misunderstanding.
some Moto's will never get back the state of "oem_locked" once they were unlocked. maybe that's the reason. but it doesn't effect the verfied boot state.
Interesting. I've been outside the world of Android stuff for a few years and have been relearning everything, or some new things that have changed.
Is there a way to check the state of these things via an app or rooted file explorer or are this things inaccessible to us, in terms of modifying or viewing them?
on your fastboot screen bottom left: oem_locked, flashing_unlocked or flashing_locked
I don't know how to check that but after relock I was able to use Google wallet without any hacks. Also unlock again was not a problem. Now I am on stock 13 ROM rooted. That works good for me.
Could you explain how did you do that? I'm assuming you've unlocked bootloader, installed magisk and rooted the phone, then you've relocked the bootloader w/o losing magisk, right?
Did you relocked with command "fastboot flashing lock" or any other method?
Also, did you get widevine L1 back?
Edit: @hans3103 I've attached a screenshot of Netflix app (app config> streaming specs) showing widevine category.
