Have you successfully unlocked bootloader?..I get same error messages when flashing on e5 play with unlockable bootloader..Motorola will not add the Verizon James variant to oem unlock list..but a locked bootloader will give you that error message..

Stock ROM for Moto G5s Plus

Hi
Is stock ROM for Moto G5s Plus available to download? I need to reflash my phone with stock ROM and unable to find it yet.
Thanks
Full firmware is available!
Here you go...
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B9VEaFoqTCkLX2JUd0lVdzZLUUk&export=download
Please tell me if it relocks your bootloader.
Thanks Raj.S. Just to confirm, this is for Indian variant of Moto G5s Plus, right?
Update: Tried to flash this using TWRP but got error: Invalid zip file format!
Tried fastboot update method and that also results into error: no android-info.txt file found.
Please help.
Ok, was able to install the ROM with fastboot. However, it doesn't relock bootloader.
There's a few additional steps required to relock the bootloader.
If you run "fastboot OEM lock" then it will tell you more.
Essentially you need to execute this command twice, then flash the OEM data (boot and system), and then execute the "fastboot OEM lock" command once more.
That should lock things back up again.
@Raminder_Singh
How did you overcome the no android-info.txt file found error?
I am unable to flash the ROM via fastboot.

Help bricked mi a2

I was trying to install stock rom after installing RR rom. MiFlash said "flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" and when i did "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" from cmd i got "remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed". I then used the allinone tool from xda and pressed "lock loader" to unlock it again and ended up bricking the device as it now shows "your device is corrupt. it can't e trusted and will not boot" I can't enter recovery either only fastoot and nothing works. PLEASE HELP FAST

Dude, how many threads do you need to create, it won't make it any more likely that anyone will help you
Your problem is caused by that you only unlocked the bootloader and not critical partitions
Which stock rom were you on before flashing a custom one?

Are you sure?, if so, manually flash boot, system and vendor using fastboot to your current slot
Fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Or boot_b if active slot is B etc...
Then go to developer options and enable oem unlocking, if you can't enable that option, lock the bootloader, enable the option then unlock bootloader and critical flashing

Hi , sorry for my bad English , if you can open you phone and enter to EDL MODE and flash the stock rom of your device may be solve your problem ,
(I get the same problem trying to install a custom rom)
If you can't acces to EDL via ABD i think that you only can enter to EDL disasembly your phone .. Suertee xd
Yo también me desesperé
same problem
i got the same problem, won't start normally, hangs in boot screen so can't enter the phone to put it in usb debugging, only responce is through fastboot mode. Every attempt is failing due to locked state and unlocking is not allowed.

its for chines version only
if you have Chinese version you have to unlock the bootloader first and then you will be able to flash the twrp recovery
unlocking the bootloader should be on the setting
you cant unlock the bootloader using the oem command in fastboot , you have to unlock it from the setting in developer option
and then enter fastboot and enter the command
fastbooot flashing unlock
remember unlocking the bootloader will erase all your data

am in version 2.27 and twrp working fine with me
you have to enter the command
fastboot flashing unlock
and when you boot there is a yellow warning message showing that you have unlocked the bootloader
after that just flash the right twrp file posted on the fourm
good luck

Bro, step by step...
First, lock again the bootloader.
Second, unlock bootloader again.
Third, flash the archives from Europe or Chinese ROM, all the from the same firmware. (Boot, recovery, system, parameters, etc...)
You can see that in the other link.
If you get do all ok, try flash with OTG since Recovery.

Few days before I was in the same situation.
Tried lot of solution but the simplest to solve was using the below 2 command when in fastboot.
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
fastboot flashing unlock
This should unlock the bootloader and you should be able continue the setup.
All the Best...
it says flashing unlock is not allowed

Can you tell full step and i guess i need system.img also where i can get it ...kindly please help sir ?
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16in6Jnyi4s5aIIuQwapQ1KK1LjysSfYm
Here is the link to download required file by an XDA member.
But before you flash system image first try with the boot img and recovery img.
I was to getting the message that i cant flash so used the command for oem unlock which reset the counter to 1
After which did flashing of boot .img and then recovery.img
If issue the use the falshboot flashing unlock.
This were the steps used by me to recovery, i didnot do any other flashing.
Hope this helps you
Edit: After the oem unlock command directly try to flash boot and then recovery and then if required flashing unlock command.
its still saying your device is corrupt ...anyone can help me

Flashing is not allowed in lock state (nubia_nx629j)

Can somebody help me?
I unlock the bootloader recently via adb fastboot.
My problem is, when i want to instal twrp in my phone, it failed. It says "FLASHING IS NOT ALLOWED IN LOCK STATE'
Why was that?
Appreciate if anyone can guide me.

Hi.
Try this:
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
, where you replace recoveryname.img with the name of your recovery image.
If you haven't previously unlocked your bootloader, the first command will delete your data, so backup... If the bootloader was previously unlocked, it won't wipe anything.
