My Moto Z XT1650-03 was hardbricked, finally after several days I found a blankfiles that worked with my version, however as soon as the phone started in fastboot I verified that the bootloader was blocked, hence I am not able to install recovery or any ROM, I have already tried several ROMS, I tried to install by RSD but with the bootloader blocked there is always the same error, when I try to unlock the bootloader the following error appears: (bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings> Developer)
Any solution?
*My bootloader is in version 91.08, but the newest ROM I found is with version 91.07, may be why I can not update with adb?

Hello friends of XDA, I have a big problem between hands, I have a MOTO Z and I had it in android 7.0 since last year the update to andorid 7.1.1 did not arrive and I felt that with android 7 the battery was consumed very quickly, so I tried to find the update to flash it and just about 3 days ago I found it, I proceeded to download it and flash it in fastboot and adb.
The thing is that a few months ago, browsing through my phone (I had already rotated it, and unlocked the bottloader, I decided to re-block the bootloader, and remove the root, which never worked at 100) I got into the developer options, and I saw an option that until then I didn't know about its "OEM Unlock"function, as it was turned on and deactivated because I thought it didn't work.
Returning to the update flashing I proceeded as usual, with the commands, I proceed to restart the device and show the image of the boot of motrola but then it shows me a message in red letters.
"Startup Failed"
"failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot.
I thought it was a compatibility problem with the downloaded version of 7.1.1 so again I decided to flash the stock rom 7.0 but when I finished and restart the same message appeared.
I started to investigate and it seems that the OEM blockade is responsible for not being able to install any Stock Rom, or anything, and now I have a nice brick with Moto mods and I can't use it.
I wanted to unlock OEM in fastboot but nothing. sends message from "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK IN SETTINGS"
There is way to unlock the OEM from pc or fastboot without needing to be unlocked from the android settings, as in my case it is impossible for me,
I'd be very grateful for your help friends, I know it's a bit tedious to read but it's the only phone I have and I feel weird without it on the street.:bueno::bueno::llorando:
I'm with same problem here!

Try to boot in Fastboot flash twrp and flash ressurection remix rom. It's great rom. Forget about locking. I had the same problem like you as I was trying to flash stock ROM and lock bootloader.
I gave up on this.

Well, when the root didn't work properly, I flashed the phone again and blocked the bootloader. Will I still be able to install TWPR or should I lose my phone?

What do you mean with "I blocked my bootloader"?
Twrp is easy to flash. Root is integrated in ressurection remix rom. And this rom is great. Just try to flash twrp in Fastboot and than ressurection remix with twrp.
Can you boot in Fastboot?
Do you remember what build of 7.1.1 you had on your device before downgrading to 7.0?
If so, I would suggest finding that firmware (the full stock firmware, not OTA updates) or newer if you can, and try to flash that. Since your bootloader is still likely from the 7.1.1 build, a locked bootloader will only permit files matching the same patch level (i.e. from the exact same stock ROM as that bootloader patch) to boot.
If not, then unfortunately there's not a lot we can do. You could wait for a newer firmware to get leaked, but as your device is unable to boot (due to failing the bootloader checks) and you cannot toggle OEM unlocking because you cannot boot, it's a nasty vicious circle that is difficult to get out of. You may have to consider sending your device for service and pay for an expensive motherboard replacement otherwise, since Motorola have a record of your device being unlocked. Your service centre experience may vary.
Only lock a bootloader after ensuring you've flashed all the stock firmware and it is all the same patch level as your bootloader. Hopefully you'll find newer firmware that you can repair with.

I solved it, I finally flashed the stock rom to my phone and it works.
Apparently my pc was not flashing the stock rom in adb, and the phone turned off when loading the software. I did it 3 times until I load correctly and start well.
if you have the same problem apparently then OEM Blocking is not responsible. You have to flash the most current rom or the one that you had by default when the brick happened to you, you flash it in a normal way with commands of adb and ready, I would have to come back to life.
download from firmware center MotoZ Griffin the most current rom stock at 7.1.1

Thanks for your help friend, I finally flashed it with a recent android 7.1.1 update. Apparently the OEM lockout was not the culprit, but it was an interrupted flash of android 7.1.1 at some point when loading the software to the phone, it would shut down on its own and not complete the installation, which showed me the mentioned message. I didn't realize that and thought it was the OEM blockade.
I finally did it on another pc and it worked. the phone came back to life.
I have one Moto Z2 Force (XT1789-05), bought from coolicool.com, I didn't know device came Unlocked Bootloader, Device rom had problem with many apps, I googled and found one topic in XDA developer to Install Stock Rom, I downloaded and Installed India Rom, it's worked somehow fine, but still had problem, I downloaded Verizon Rom, Android 8, after Installed Android 8 Verizon Rom, Locked device bootloader immediately, now device stuck at Welcome Wizard in Android 8, after select language I got this message: (Please wait, this may take a few minutes) this is proof video (http://ahmn.co/Upload/IMG_0161.MOV), after this issue, device already locked, I can't unlock, because need to go to the Developer Option in Setting, I stucked in Welcome Wizard, there isn't any bypass, So, I start to search in Google, XDA-Forum, Android Central and more, I created many threads, many requests, no one can't help me, I tried to reach google developer support to the tell to me how can I bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, there is must be a way, but I can't find it, now I can access to Android Recovery and Bootloader
1. if you help me to FORCE UNLOCK device without need Developer Option in setting my problem will solve
2. If you help me to Bypass Android Welcome Wizard, access setting and enable OEM Unlock
3. If you help me to update the device from Android 8 to Android 9 Verizon ROM via ADB Sideload or Update from SD card in Recovery mode
4. If you have any idea to how can I fix it
Extra Information: I bought Belkin and Uni USB-C to Ethernet Adaptor to help me bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, I bought WSKY WIFI Adaptor because device Wifi can't find any network (I found QR setup by tap several times in Language Selection), after this section need to download google device policy apk, my device can't find any Wifi Network and my Ethernet Adaptor can't help me either, So, I just remained with my phone, and I can't do anything,
Please, someone, help me

Hey so i need literally any way to root this tablet, ive been able to unlock the bootloader (easiest bootloader on the planet) but havent been able to find a compatable twrp.
i just need a custom recovery that will work or p much any root ideas, i would consider a full custom firmware as well.
i considered compiling a twrp but i dont know how i would get the source files for it...

how did you unlock bootloader and did you ever figure out how to root it? going through same thing now.
Kind of an old thread and old device now, but I own one myself (branded Packard Bell) and just figured this all out, so here goes:
Root
This one is really easy now thanks to a MediaTek flaw. Just go to https://github.com/JunioJsv/mtk-easy-su, download the latest release, install the APK on the device, and run it by opening the app and pressing the button in the lower-right corner (still works on this since the latest security patch level AFAIK is from 2017). Note that this gives root temporarily, so you will need to run it again after reboot if you want root again.
Bootloader Unlock
When Kenvarus said "easiest bootloader on the planet", I took a guess at the method and it worked:
Back up any important data on your tablet, as this will factory reset it.
Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer if they are not installed, including drivers. For Fastboot (as that can be tricky sometimes), it "just worked" for me and I think Windows used an Amazon driver I had installed for my KF2. YMMV.
If you haven't already, enable Development Settings by going to Settings->About tablet and tapping the build number 7 times.
Go to Settings->Developer options (switch them on if they're off) and enable the "OEM unlocking" toggle.
In the same menu, enable "USB debugging" if it is not enabled already.
Connect the tablet to your computer, confirming the authorization prompt that pops up if it wasn't connected before. Check whether the connection is good with the "adb devices" command if needed.
Run the command "adb reboot bootloader", this gave me a blank screen.
Use the "fastboot devices" command to make sure the Fastboot connection works.
Run the command "fastboot oem unlock".
Press Volume Up when the text-mode confirmation screen pops up on the tablet.
Once the unlock procedure is complete, reset the tablet. You should see text on your bootscreen saying "Orange State" and a factory reset on the first reboot if it worked.
WARNING: I highly recommend charging your battery to be at least 10-20% filled before doing this. I stupidly did this at 1% battery thinking "it's plugged in anyway" and had quite the time rebooting after unlocking the bootloader (I thought it was bricked for a good hour or so, only after walking away for 20 minutes to eat dinner did I see that the battery was now at 20% and I could boot the tablet).
After unlocking the bootloader and temp-rooting it with the above app, I was able to use Magisk to patch the boot image (using dd to shuttle the files to and from /dev/block/mmcblk0p10, use "strings saved_boot_partition_name|head -n1" and check for "ANDROID!" to make sure it's the right partition) and I now have persistent root after all these years (note that Direct Install in Magisk doesn't work here). I'd definitely be interested in a custom recovery and/or ROMs for this device, but I'm not holding my breath (I'd take a crack at it if I knew better how to do it, but I have near-zero experience with ROM development and so far have only recompiled existing ROMs for a few phones).
Hello everyone
Recently I've hard reseted my lenovo Phab (pb1-750n) mistakenly before removing my google account and unfortunately I stocked in google FRP lock, I've searched many sites and seen many videos to bypass the FRP with no success.
Finally I found a russian forum that uploaded the Chinese version of device ROM, since the google apps are banned in China therefore updating the ROM from recovery mode succeed (I downloaded ROM and put it in the SD card, then update the ROM from recovery) and device got back alive again. (NO Google NO FRP )
but the second struggle wave slapped my face, (NO google apps NO joy ), for instance I downloaded Gapps and tried to install it by replacing stock recovery with TWRP, so in device, I turned on developer mode by tapping build number many times and turned on USB debugging and oem unlock, see, I turned on damn oem unlock!!! but in the fastboot when I run the
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
, the result ends in oem unlock not allowed report and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
also failed due to the bootloader lock status. BTW international ROM seems to be all in Chines clouds and is not accessible for non Chines people to download them, at least I couldn't do it.
any idea what is wrong in here????? did Chines made ROM to be like that???? any chance to solve the issue???
this happens because you do not unlock the bootloader, just released to unlock

anyway thanks for reply.
Hey All!
I recently(2 days back) purchased a Yu Yutopia running android 5.1.1. I enabled developer options, but it didn't have the OEM unlock option. And whenever i go into fastboot, and type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 oem unlock
it says
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.008s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.. Any help would be appreciated. I went through tons of documentation. the only thing missing for now is the Yutopia Drivers. Is that the problem? If so, can someone share the driver packs? This thread had it, but the link is broken, and is old.
If in Android -> Settings -> Developer options -> OEM unlock option isn't present then unlocking phone's bootloader is denied, you can't unlock it by means of Fastboot.
May be you can obtain from OEM/Carrier an unlock-key. Contact them.
BTW: You always can check Android's system file named build.prop for device's bootloader-unlock capability
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.oem.unlock_supported"
If the device supports "fastboot flashing unlock", then the returned value is 1

Same here tried everything from flashing in EDL mode to downloading Yuware and trying to unlock bootloader. The adb commands
Code:
getprop sys.oem_unlock_allowed
getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported
both return blank. Using Miracle box software to check device info returns Bootloader : unknown. Trying to root via Miracle Box, Kingroot and other methods fails. The original Signed Android 5.1.1 based CM signed zips also won't flash via Recovery and the links are also almost non existent for those. Any hope of finding a original CM firmware to flash via QFIL is very slim. There has to be some way to get it working, there was a YouTube video showcasing the YU Yutopia on Stock Android 5.1.1 Engineering build that now doesn't have the OEM Unlock option only if someone would help. Getting it rooted somehow god knows how is the only option to get started.
Don't waste more time with trying to unlock phone's bootloader: it's NOT supported.
if anyone interested, I made some modifation in stock rom, so it is rooted, without unlocking bootloader, here is the link of my thread
Yu Yutopia (Yu5050) (Sambar) Stock engineering rom, rooted (Android 5.1)
For those interested, this is exactly engineering rom, with added modified patched boot, so it is rooted with magisk. v23 This is the detailed install procedure: You need to download the following: 1. YU_Yutopia_YU5050_V1_24.12.15 rom, link give...
