check THIS or THIS or THIS(dark bootloader)
no need to flash recovery or ROM after updating firmware

Got another problem.
When the phone is on, I can give commands via the command prompt (reboot etc works)
When in bootloader it always says 'waiting for device"
I've already relocked the bootloader to install the firmware

boot into bootloader 1st
choose fastboot in the bootloader
then use all the fastboot comands in command prompt - it should work
eg. c:\adb\fastboot devices

Is it possible to flash the firmware.zip via adb sideload? or recovery? or just when android is on? in those cases adb works

[HELP]Making ADB work with Moto G 2014

Hi,
My friends Moto G just died and now it is just bootlooping. He asked me to try get contacts through ADB but it is not finding phone.
I installed Motorola Device Manager and it seems that it found phone and successfully used command "get variable", but when I use ADB via CMD it don't even finding phone.
How can I fix this?

at first learn what ADB is.
at second - fastboot it the proper place to begin with.

ADB can only be used from a fully booted device (you have to be past the login screen. It's a security measure so no one can mess with your data without approval). You can use fastboot commands though.
Try this
Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it.
start "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installtion or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and selecting "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
You should now see a command window open.
Put your device in fastboot mode and connect usb.
Now just do verify type this command
Code:
fastboot devices
the output should show something like this (your number is different)
Code:
fastboot devices
XXXXXXXXXXfastboot
Now do your thing, like flashing stock ROM. Multiple tutorials exist for that.

That is the answer that I needed!
Can I somehow pull data from this phone using fastboot? Because I think that flashing stock ROM will erase any personal data, but I really need to get it.

No. That would defeat the lock screen. Just imagine someone steals your phone and can access your data just by booting into fastboot.

Contacts are synchronised with your Google account (unless you choosed not to). Can't say the same about SMS.

Loading custom recovery via
fastboot boot TWRP.img should do the job.
than one can can make a full backup, which might be extracted on pc as a regular archive.

Is your bootloader locked?
Can you try fastboot oem partition dump userdata (using mfastboot, not Google's fastboot)?

I will try that. Firstly my friend want to message the seller to get his phone repaired. So I can not touch anything in software until he is done.

And the bootloader is locked.

this thread has continued to be unaswered for several years now.
only tested 2 phones... and it seems they both have bootloader status is unknown. i can do fastboot and recovery mode on the 2 phones but on fastboot mode.. only shows blank screen... idk why it's like that. i downgraded both phones to 12.2.0 version. and bootloader status is still unknown. it can be recognized by the computer in fastboot mode using fastboot devices command but you can't do anything to it. fastboot oem device-info does not work only shows .......... , fastboot oem unlock ....., only one working is fastboot adb_enable .. kinda useless. .. i gave up on unlocking the bootloader for this phone.. im too noob for this.

I opened this thread when I was still "noob-ish". The device's bootloader can't be unlocked. Unless someone hacks into it's bootloader (like LG L Fino), it might be possible.

I got root access with KingRoot and then flashed TWRP with Flashify.
Somehow that gave me access to bootloader without the necessity to downgrade the firmware.

[GUIDE] Temporary unlock bootloader to flash partitions on Nougat

This guide won't work with OFFICIAL Oreo. I've also made a batch script for this so you don't have to type though
This is the new guide for TWRP without the need of OST. I'll cover the other thread later
What you need:
-Service bootloader which is in the attachment, just delete the .zip extension
-ADB: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
-Nokia driver, available when you plug in the phone
Tutorial:
-Install Nokia driver and ADB first in which way you feel the most convenient
-Plug in your phone after allowing USB Debugging
-Type these commands, each one at a time
Boot your phone to download mode
adb reboot bootloader

It will throw back a string begin with D1A. Copy that string and generate its MD5. I use this service https://md5.gromweb.com
Unlock the bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity <your MD5 here>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When it says failed, your MD5 might be wrong
Flash the service bootloader
fastboot flash aboot <path to mbn file>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
BE CAREFUL AS CORRUPTED ABOOT MIGHT BRICK YOUR PHONE
If it says OK, proceed to the flashing part, else dm-verity again
Reboot bootloader again

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Re-unlock your bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity <your MD5 here>

Congrats! Now you can flash anything you want, shoutout to anyone who provided OST
Note
-Again, special thanks to @heineken78 and @the_laser for their discussion, and anyone involved with the great tool called OST
-The command is found within the file named AdbCmdDll.dll. You can just crack open it with IDA or whatever to find the command yourself
-After flashing, log is in C:\LogData\OUT or OST. Just find the txt file which is about 15KB in size, thanks @hikari_calyx

You mean if I use this option to OEM unlock the boot loader is still locked

Note, doesnt work after Oreo update

Besides the effort you made to place this into the forum; I disregard having to make click in a Website in Chinese.
Perhaps you know Chinese. Well.. Imagine all the users clicking blindly... Is that safe? Even though you've tested it; it is still pretty uncertain that users will not end with malware.
Or end up with anti privacy on their devices or receiving millions of ads. I honestly find this thread offensive and unsafe to everyone.
If you are the author; a mirror would be nice. Some information regarding TWRP; indicating that the TWRP itself wont be in Chinese.
Therefore i disregard this thread.

How To Guide [GUIDE] [DON'T ATTEMPT] Re-locking bootloader on 10R

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Recently we have noticed that trying to lock the bootloader is bricking many devices. We have found an alternate way, but that process is somewhat complicated, and I would not suggest attempting to lock the bootloader as of now. If anything changes, I will let you know here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA.
1. Connect your phone to PC / laptop and type command:
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then one usb-debugging popup will appear in your phone click allow there.
2. Give command:
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Then give the command:
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. If you can see the output, then go for the command:
fastboot flashing lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. A confirmation-screen will come on your phone asking to press the Volume Up button to lock the bootloader.
This will wipe your data and lock the bootloader.
If the device is stuck in fastboot mode and is not booting to the system on its own, execute the command:
fastboot reboot
