Hello,
recently I wanted to lock bootloader with a key. When I type in fastboot oem relock + key, it doesn´t work. I should be in stock EMUI without root etc. But I am on stock, so I assume that I am using a bad version of EMUI.
So my question is: Which ROM from Firmware finder should I flash to be able to lock bootloader?
Thanks for answers

Boot into erecovery and download stock emui then try relock again if it doesn't relock

Well, I tried with EMUI 8 .151 flashed in Multi tool in PC
EDIT: Finally I somehow get it, now I am downloading latest EMUI and then hopefully I will be able to lock bootloader.

Hello,
situation ist this:
Cyanogen Recovery is installed and there is no rom on the phone. But it won't install a new one through apply update. So I tried installing twrp through fast boot. But it failed with:
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
So i tried to unlock it which gave me:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is disabled)
oem devices gave me tampered = false and unlocked = false
What can I do.
Would appreciate help

Flash stock recovery and try unlock again.
Dumb Question but how exactly do I do that?
Just flash it via fast boot? And where do i get it?

You dont need to be sorry, thats okay i jus asked... Maybe OP didnt enable oem unlocking.
I didnt enable oem unlocking because it wasnt necessary. The device was unlocked and twrp and cyanogenmod were installed. But somehow cyanogen recovery was installed. Super user was away and I tried to reinstall it. Not knowing the recovery had changed I chose twrp/cwm to install it what resulted in a boot loop. No problem I thought just flash a ROM which didn't worked. No problem just flash a proper recovery it didn't worked. And somehow the device is locked again..
Sorry I was little brief when I said flash stock recovery. I believe if you revert back completely stock you can start the process from the beginning again. That would mean fastboot flash stock recovery then any firmware of OnePlus X. I'm not sure how a bootloader can relock itself.

But I couldn't flash twrp.. Is it possible to flash the stock recovery with a locked boot loader? I don't have access to the phone at the moment and i want to gather as much information possible thats why i'm asking

Found a hard brick guide. You mean that?
So I just remembered something was able to help someone else with a similar issue. If you can boot Into something and your rooted download the app Rashr. With it you can flash stock recovery and be back in business.
The problem is i dont have anything to Boot
//UPDATE: So I tried booting with fastboot boot but it said cannot boot device isn't unlocked.
Edited
So i managed to save the Phone using the Hard Brick Guide. Thanks everyone!
Thank goodness for the hard brick guide. ?

can i fastboot my kiwl22 (honor 5x) which is in b370 without any problems (bootloop) and flash in lineage or RR N?
if yes, please let me know hiw to fastboot, and any suggestions for the best ROM availabke to be put on kiw l22 without major problems?
Here's the guide to unlock bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-honor-5x-t3328600
For the ROM, I recommend you LineageOS or Resurrection Remix, which is very customizable

Boot to fastboot and try to unlock bootloader, it will either says it's not allowed if OEM unlock is not allowed or unlock the bootloader. After that if you manage to unlock it, you have to flash TWRP

Bootloader is locked by default ? do you have unlock code? You may check my threads for getting unlock code. In order to flash TWRP, you have to downgrade from B370 to B320/B340 ? otherwise you will get endless boot loops. Download B320 firmware package, extract it, copy "update.app", create a folder "dload" on External SD card and paste "update.app". Turn off your phone, hold vol up+vol down+power button simultaneously and release all the three buttons when Honor logo shows up. Wait until stock rom flashing finishes. I recommend you to do a factory reset. Done! You may proceed to unlock bootloader and flash twrp.
Hi, I've unlocked the bootloader on my honor 9, installed TWRP and get root premissions. Now i want to know if there is a way to relock the bootloader after flashing all the original roms(boot, curl, recovery ecc.)
Thanks

No need to rollback.
If root os no more required- just boot to recovery, flash the unroot file, boot normally.
Flash the stock recovery, boot.
Do factory reset and boot.
Boot to fastboot and relock as
Fastboot relock <16 digit code>
If no root needed-
Boot to fastboot and relock as above command.

Hi there . Recently i just rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader but i want to roll it back to stock status.
I read a lot and i can not understand ,
Is it possible to lock the bootloader on that phone or not ? If yes ,how ?
EDIT : I tried with fastboot commands oem relock but it didn't work .I removed the root but still need to lock the bootlodaer
Hey, you can flash official firmware into your device and get back to the stock firmware without root. But you can't re-lock the bootloader. I have tried so many command in fastboot and any of em doesn't work.

I was able to remove the root manually so no need to reflash stock frimware,but about bootloader still not successed to lock it even via flash tool BLU option. There should be warning that you can't lock it once its unlocked damn..

Yes indeed. I've tried that too. apparently you can't relock the bootloader in newer devices. Only thing to do right now is, hope that Sony will release some kind of commands to relock the bootloader. Unless there's no other way.
Hello,
After receiving my new Motorola x40 I realized that I wasn't able to use my GooglePay nor did it have other language support. So I decided to unlock my x40 bootloader via https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your- device-a
It all worked. I managed to install a global rom with all the google apps and extra language support.
However, Global rom didn't allow my GooglePlay to use my cards or backup via googleOne since the flashing was unlocked. So I went to fastboot to " fastboot flashing lock". After which my cards were able to work.
After few days of using global rom I decided to go back to chinese one since I found it a bit easier to navigate.
So when I decided to go back to my old chinese rom, in "Developer Options" OEM unlocking says "Connect to the internet or contact your operator" and it is greyed out.
I tried using " fastboot flashing/oem unlock" in fastboot however it tells me that i need to unlock it in " developer options " first.
My phone has already been connected to wifi for around 90 hours on a Global rom And around a week before I transitioned from Chinese room over to global rom.
How long do I need to be connected to the internet or what operator do I need to contact to unlock my OEM again? Or maybe there is another way to unlock OEM without waiting?
Things I tried and failed:
1) Factory reset
2) Wipe/Cache reset via recovery3) "fastboot flashing/oem unlock" via bootloader
Global rom used: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/rtwo/official/RETGB/
Have same problem.

How many days are you in this state? maybe you are closer to 7 days than I am
The toggle to unlock the bootloader is now enabled for me after 8 days. I have the Edge 40 Pro.
mine too, didn't look before, i own mine since 14 april
Ok so the theory is that once you get a global rom and "fastboot oem lock", it will act like new phone and will only unlock after 7-8 days. Guess will have to wait to test this theory out.

Any update whether you can toggle OEM Unlocking?
Also, as someone who have been using Moto phones from China for years, CN ROM is way way way better the Global ROM when it comes to features and software updates. One useful feature is the built in Motorola Wallet app where I can use my phone as keycard and transpo card.

I'm assuming it's a Motorola issue. I'm assuming maybe even real Edge 40 Pro devices can't unlock yet? Honestly if OTA works and so do all features (banking, 5g, etc) then I have no problem doing the conversion.

It's possible that we won't get OTA, only will know for sure in the future, i'm in the same situation.
But you can always manually update your firmware with rescue tool or through ADB as long it's the official firmware. You don't need a unlocked bootloader for that

I think this method would work:
I screwed up...moto X40 bricked / Any EDL mode available?
Hi guys sadly I completely softbricked my motorola X40 phone i'm a idiot. I flashed to a wrong firmware file (edge 30 pro) and re-locked bootloader then found it phone doesn't properly boot anymore. I can boot it in fastboot mode but flashing in...
forum.xda-developers.com
But I think this will erase all your data so it's not a real "upgrade firmware" method
I also found out there is an "software update" in the lenovo rescue tool
Maybe it's worth the shot to try this out too, but for me it's says I have the latest firmware already (which is correct) so I can't test it out right now.
