I have a Moto Z (XT1650-03) which I OEM Unlocked using the process to obtain a code from the Motorola site. I've reflashed the stock firmware XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETCA_MPL24.246-17_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC. However, whenever I try to use the fastboot oem lock function, I get the message "(bootloader) still require signed boot.img".
In another thread, Entrec mentioned something about flashing a custom logo to at least get rid of the unlocked bootloader message but I'd still like to re-lock the phone period. Any suggestions?
Cheers!
UPDATE: finally got the Nougat update to install, so I guess my updated question is this: is there any way to relock my Moto Z on the Nougat update?
May I ask the reason?

One reason for some is being able to use Android Pay

Are you sure locked bootloader is needed for it? I've only heard about root issues...

The SafetyNet API used by Android Pay now detects and flags unlocked bootloader :crying:

At the moment, no real reason but yes, I've heard that some apps (like Android Pay which is supposedly coming here soon) don't work on devices with an unlocked bootloader.
I also cannot relock the bootloader. I downloaded a stock rom and flashed everything one at a time but at the end when I type fastboot oem lock it still says I need to flash a motorola signed boot.

Yup, I used the RETCA version and got the same issue. Was doing a bit more reading and sounds like it's a pretty moot point anyways. If you can manage to relock it, the unlocked bootloader message still remains.

I'm only trying to lock it because I wasn't able to fully root it. I can't get root to stick and I'd rather relock it so I can still use Android Pay. I'm stuck in between, I can't root it and I can't unroot it. -__-
Unlocking the boot loader has been a "one way" process for Motorola phones for a long time. I am not sure if it's a fuse that gets blown or what but I have never heard of some one re-locking anything but Nexus devices.

Thanks for comfirming, wasn't sure if Android Pay worked with an unlocked phone or not... oh well. Still haven't been able to ftr.
Locking the unlocked bootloader
I have spent days on the forums here on xda. I did come across a post from someone who seemed to have expertise (the development forum). It seems the Moto Z has a Qfuse. I you trip it then there is no going back. So Nougat is a one way path.
The good news that if you are patient then there is a path forward towards unlocking and rooting. Motorola voids you warranty but on the other hand they very much promote development and experimentation.

Since I've been researching on XDA today about relocking on another platform I can say confidently that many devices can have their bootloaders relocked. (Sometimes requiring 'tricky techniques') However there are generally a bunch of restrictions.
Specifically what I hoped to achieve was being able to customize a device with a 3rd-party rom and recovery, and then re-lock the bootloader for security reasons. (Making it harder for someone else to break into it if it gets stolen etc) But unfortunately most of them require all the partitions to be stock builds before they will re-lock.
Not sure, as I'm new to Moto Z, but my old Moto X could be rekocked. But it wouldn't return to a "locked" state. It world show as "relocked".
Could be the same result with the Z, and not sure how that would affect any software that is looking for a "locked" bootloader.

Very interesting.
I know the OnePlus devices are very blase about such things, whereas Samsung's have some sort of "tamper" flag whenever you unlock the bootloader.
I'm slowly but surely starting to get up to speed on which vendor does what.. lots to learn..

Thank You Your post Was very helpful to me. My bootloader is now locked.
When you relock the bootloader, can anyone confirm for me if the message about the bootloader being unlocked is still there? I plan to sell this in the future and that could determine potential buyers
Ok, i have unlocked bootloader, installed this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342, added twrp via fastboot, rooted and so on.
Everything worked like a charm.
Than yesterday I got this update notification (from nplp 25.86-15 to nplp 25.86 -17-3; something about fixing notification sound - about 500mb). I thought what the hell lets try it - ended up in boot loop to recovery(twrp).
After that I installed this rom (odexed version) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/twrp-ported-to-moto-z-eu-version-t3470920.
Again I tried the update since it restored stock recovery - it went into the process and than reported some error.
Now, no matter what rom I install(those 2 and I tried cm14) phone acts messed up, it freezes and reboots when using it randomly and always reboots when screen goes to sleep 4 about 10 seconds.
I have also tried to install mm rom via twrp but ended up in recovery loop.
Any help is highly appreciated..
You need to flash back full stock ROM for your device. Had same issue. But that's if you are downgradable to MM roms

I tried with cm but it's not helping.
Phone is stable so far after that initial self-reboot; I'll wait 4 couple hours and if it stays stable returning to n version because mm is too big of a downgrade.
If it continues rebooting, well I guess I'll just bang my head on the wall few times) cause I am out of ideas..

I have flashed nougat again after that and had one random reboot since. Don't like the fact that reboot happened but otherwise it feels stable and smooth.

Hello @tafarelli what versión bootloader have your ?? Very thanks
Downgrade the Nougat at Mm ?

I never upgraded to nougat through OTA but from fastbooting this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342
so I believe I still have mm bootloader.

Hi guys, I've tried all the threads so far and have got no where. I unlocked my device and flashed a custom rom, that worked fine. I then noticed no way to go back to stock so I tried the odexed version with no luck. Now any rom I flash does not boot, just loops back to twrp. I would like to get as close to stock as possible even if it's another region. Has anyone had any luck on getting their phones booting after this?
I've tried flashing stock firmware from 6.0.1 then flashing ota through side load
Flashing other countries firmware (which always ends in fail messages)
I've tried multiple rom from the forum which just loop.
I've spent about 6 hours trying different combinations of recovery, boot and other images with no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

I have gotten stuck with bootloops a couple times now, for me re-flashing a backup or custom rom or custom kernel didn't fix it either. Keep in mind that you cannot go back to 6.0.1 once you have flashed 7.0, the bootloader won't allow it. I have had to flash back to a stock firmware from https:// firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/ (remove the space after https:// ) and re-fastboot flash TWRP, re-root, and restore my Titanium Backups to get going again.
It's extremely helpful if you create a servicefile.bat to flash all the firmware parts in the right order. This is the one I made for flashing the RETMX 7.0 image (the main difference I noticed between different firmwares from that link is the number of sparsechunks, so add or delete lines as necessary. I'm sure all this info is available elsewhere, but I didn't manage to find it all in one shot. So I figured I would post it to help others out that are in the same boat. Also note that even though you are re-flashing the bootloader.img it does not re-lock your bootloader.

Copy the above text and paste it into a new text file and change the name to "servicefile.bat" without quotes (not servicefile.bat.txt), and drop it in with the extracted firmware files. Then either copy-paste your adb and fastboot files into that folder or drop all that folder's contents into your Users/*YOURNAME*/App Data/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/ folder. Or better yet, add "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools" to your Path in your system's Environment Variables. The latter will make adb and fastboot work from any command prompt window, then you can just press shift+right-click in the folder that already has the firmware files and choose "Open command window here" and then just type servicefile.bat and press enter. Hope this helps! Good Luck and Happy Flashing!

I have gotten stuck with bootloops a couple times now, for me re-flashing a backup or custom rom or custom kernel didn't fix it either. Keep in mind that you cannot go back to 6.0.1 once you have flashed 7.0, the bootloader won't allow it. I have had to flash back to a stock firmware from https:// firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/ (remove the space after https:// ) and re-fastboot flash TWRP, re-root, and restore my Titanium Backups to get going again.
It's extremely helpful if you create a servicefile.bat to flash all the firmware parts in the right order. This is the one I made for flashing the RETMX 7.0 image (the main difference I noticed between different firmwares from that link is the number of sparsechunks, so add or delete lines as necessary. I'm sure all this info is available elsewhere, but I didn't manage to find it all in one shot. So I figured I would post it to help others out that are in the same boat. Also note that even though you are re-flashing the bootloader.img it does not re-lock your bootloader.

Dude, you are awesome. Worked like a charm. Was missing fastboot getvar max-sparse-size andbfastboot oem fb_mode_set plus I was flashing the modem after the chunks. Thanks again!

Anytime! Glad I could help!
Before unlocking or flashing my XT1650-03 it was labelled as retapac and I haven't been able to find any retapac 7.0 images for fastboot but I've found other regions, are they safe to flash?
Yes it's safe, I have done that (I have retmx and used a retbr) and it works exactly the same

How do you changed it? You unlocked the bootloader or something like that?, Im thinking about change my reteu stock rom by retbr too.

I use this steps:
0. Download files
1. install motorola device manager
2. install minimal adb&fastboot
3. extract files from zip and put them in the same directory as fastboot.exe
3. boot phone into fastboot mode
4. flash via fastboot:

I don't know if you need to have unlocked bootloader, when I tried it, I already had it unlocked.
Variant xt1605-05
I have a doubt, I have a Chinese version xt1605-05, I do not want to use Chinese roms, can I flash an xt1605-03 retbr? deleting gpt.bin and bootloader? sorry my english is bad

Hi takoa, thanks for your efforts. What are the differences with the firmware OPP28.85-16?
security update
Is this flashable in any cedric? I have a Moto G5 XT1675 italiani TIM brand (now with pixelexperience)
Any hope for capturing OTA update? I'd prefer to flash delta update instead of factory image
Hi. I’m currently on Android 7, build NPPS25.137-72-4, reteu channel.
I can directly flash this via fastboot to get 8.1? Thanks!
xfahim Hi, of course you can directly flash this firmware to go to 8.1. Greetings

Ah so it doesn’t matter which version am I using? I thought I’d need something for the reteu channel. Thanks for the confirmation!

Note in order to flash gpt & bootloader the firmware must be the same or newer than what is on your device
If you get a security downgrade error the firmware you are trying to flash is too old

Assuming you got no errors when flashing the firmware & all parts of the firmware were flashed correctly
Did you erase userdata?
You can also go into stock recovery mode and factory reset
Also you can try & remove any sim & sdcards from the device & see if it boots without them

I don't believe that is an error but rather an issue with that version of fastboot
I didn't say use another firmware - just use an older version of fastboot
Try versions from
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
Obviously I presume gpt & bootloader flashed successfully

Sorry, but I forgot to indicate that we have to eliminate the "m" from mfastboot.
or rename fastboot.exe to mfastboot.exe :good:
