Invalid boot state when trying to unlock oem - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I bought a Moto Z Play recently with the gearbest reduction. The software is locked in retcn so cannot be upgrade after 6.0.1
I would like to flash CM or stock rom, not decide yet.
But I have a problem now. I receive the message "Invalid boot state" (see screen). I verified if OEM is unlock in developer options and it is. So I don't understand why I can't unlock oem.
Have you got any idea ?
Thanks

Same problem here!

XT1635-02 Rom on XT1635-03

I intend to buy the chinese variant XT1635-03 at Gearbest. Is it possible to flash the XT1635-02 rom on it or will I be stuck with the chinese rom? If that is possible, would I receive the OTA updates?
You can flash the every rom you like i have the Chinese version and i flashed the Russian rom on it you just need to unlock your bootloader

Thank you very much. Your answer was decisive for my decision on buying the device, and I think the chinese version comes already with the bootloader unlocked.

Sorry to bother again, but did you flash the entire rom? I read at other thread that it is dangerous to flash modem, fsg and bootloader from another variant.

I read on another thread that he flashed a -02 firmware without the modem files and no partition wipe (64 vs 32 GB).
Is there a full "HowTo" to go from XT1635-03 Dual-SIM to a XT1635-02 Firmware? Of course, Dual-SIM should still work afterwards. OTA will not work in any way, right?
Are there custom Roms which can be used on the XT1635-03 ?
Thanks
i have a problem

I can not unlock my bootloader with the code of the bike my pc does not even recognize the device in fastboot, it only recognizes as an idle device called fastboot addison s. you know what to do?
Any progress to what can be done with the chinese moto z play?
Hi,
I got Moto Z from gearbest too and it also comes with ADDISON_CHINA_CUST image.
I was able to unlock bootloader with 'fastboot flashing unlock' and then I flashed it to retail 7.0 (via fastboot), then updated successfully to 7.1 (via adb sideload).
Unfortunately it still shows retcn channel and ADDISON_CHINA_CUST as baseband.
Is there any way to change it too?
Thanks!

To be short: no, there is no pracical way to change the software channel and modem version (they are tightened to hardware)
I do no think you receive any OTA but if so do not install them

Thanks for your reply! Sounds like buying a phone from gearbest is not a good idea if you want to receive OTAs and stay with official ROM.
One more thing: after I updated the phone to 7.1 it shows during startup 'ID: bad key' (apart from 'Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted'.).
When being flashed, it also returned:
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key
and
writing 'recovery...
(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key
Btw, maybe it's a stupid question, but is it justified to consider retcn channel and modem version (ADDISON_CHINA_CUST) as kind of backdoor? It still not official software (or at least the latter)...

Hi,
I received a Moto Z Play from Banggood as exchange for another phone under warranty.
I unlocked the bootloader, and via fastboot with RSD lite I updated to nougat 7.1.1
but the chineese version fot XT1635-03. I got it from here :https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison_cn/RETCN/
This rom is much worse than the original one, it's a chineese rom with only chineese and english language, no play store, no googleapps, no chrome...
At this time, I don't find the way to flash another Rom.
edit: repaired flashing another 7.1.1 custom rom

If you install the Verizon version your device will update automatically
My bootloader was already unlocked when I got it from banggood, which is similar to gearbest.
Install this via rsd lite and you will have updates via ota:

"Your Device isn’t supported by Mi Unlock"

Hi Guys,
I need your help. I want to unlock the bootloader of my new Mi Mix 2. But in the process of unlocking in the unlock software i face this error message: "Your Device isn’t supported by Mi Unlock".
I am on the latest global developer rom. Account is linked and has permission to unlock (I did unlock the mi mix 1 before).
Do you have any ideas? Maybe someone of you has the same problem and solved it!

Is OEM unlock selected in developer options? That's the only thing I can think of if the account is linked on the phone.
Yes it is. I have no Idea whats the problem of the unlock tool.
I send a unlock request mail to xiaomi. Maybe they can do anything.
You are definitely using the latest version of the unlock tool? It is updated frequently.

Did you unlocked officially and waited 360hrs via Mi Unlock tool? Also what is the MIUI Global/China version your currently using?
I had similar experience with a Redmi 5 Plus. If you're willing to open the phone up. You can short the two pins using tweezers. Then use Xiaomi MiFlash to flash the China ROM. Once done, you can now bound the account and wait 360 hours.
Otherwise return it and get your money back.
but add account on binding options , i didnt
mi account status just unlocked

So, you can still use your phone then, no hard brick whatsoever.. Well you didn't answer my question, what miui version you are using? Cause i assume that may be a bug from a tampered rom that's why your seeing Unlocked in your Dev Options and in reality it is still locked. If you can bind your account, bind it then try to unlock it officially via Mi Unlock tool using PC, see if you will get the 360hr waiting time.
sir iam sorry to late answer
well is fix i got fake rom from i buy from distributor
i see only the test point to flashing again
can you give me recomend rom ??
i use phonecell can't upload the pic
Finaly...I find same problem with my "Whyred"...
I have ready to try with other way to fix it, until now I still can't find the way....
Maybe to fix this problem only flash rom with test point way
But until now there's still no courage to do it....
Try flashing with fastboot rom and choose clean all and lock. Otherwise you can try with edl mode
edl mode is mean i must test point ??
sad of me

I am from Indonesia too. I bought the device from Batam. The first time i got it, the ROM is Global Stable 9.5.6 (i think it is). So, i upgraded it to 9.5.17 by downloading the full ROM and flashed it by updater, it succeed with nothing wrong happened. I was so lucky i didn't upgrade it to 9.5.19 as it has anti v4.
Have you tried to unlock using Mi Flash tool with present condition? What was the error message? I read this topic from the beginning and you haven't mention the result.
---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------
Or may be you can try to flash the ROM with built in updater app. Any possible solution is worth to try right? The worst case, you just take your phone to service center, may be they can help you with it.

Hi, i have tried using miflash tool and error occur in 99% said that i need to bind my account in developer option.
The thing is that miui status is unlocked in the developer option, so there is no option to bind mi account. Thats why it is called fake ubl.

Huge Problem, Locked Device and Stuck in Bootloader!!!!!

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
My Device SKU: XT1789-05
These coolicool phones always come with the wrong firmware install, the simple solution to that is to flash the correct firmware which is plain old RETAIL. Solved. That's for anyone who might have or end up with one of these phones.
As for your phone and since you're in the situation you are I'd flash VZW pie. That isn't the correct firmware for your phone, but you've got a locked BL with VZW on it now and nothing is working. Since your ultimate goal is to flash pie anyways, that's what I'd do. Maybe that will clean up your system enough to enable oem unlock. If you can get your BL unlocked, then you're half way there. Surely by now you've realized that you haven't got many if any options.

You shouldn't flash firmware from other variants like att, etc. However, if you're able to flash those firmwares and not get any permission denied errors then your bootloader is unlocked, which is good. If you have NOT flashed a pie firmware, good, do NOT do it until everything is up and running and you're sorted. If you have, then you'll need to use pie firmware to fix it since once you flash a pie modem there is no going back to an oreo modem.
Run this command from bootloader/fastboot mode and post back your output.

Try to download the latest rom in Android 10 rom and update (3 dots at the top right). Same procedure for A11 and A12,first and last.
If nothing works, unlock the bootloader and use Miflash.

You MUST unlock bootloader and install official global rom via fastboot and mi flash utility using PC. Once you unlock bootloader DON`T lock it again!!!!! I did all that few days ago since i wasn`t receiving any OTA updates either. Phone works like a charm.

The problem if you do not lock the bootloader, the play store will not be certified, which means that certain apps like Netflix, will not be available, also certain banking apps will not work. The solution being to root and use Magisk hide .
Locking the bootloader is possible provided your phone is not a Chinese version.
All this is useless with a Xiaomi Eu rom (playstore certified without root).
BTW:
Your first link has already been posted.
The second ?.
The third has nothing to do with the subject.
Didn`t have time to read all so i posted what he needs to get the update. Second link is where to get the rom, and third link of video tutorial has everything to do with subject because guy in the video shows how to flash official rom to your phone and what to do if flashing gives error. So it was meant for him to watch, not for others who need netflix. But if he needs netflix he can just ignore most of recommendations here and just root his phone if he knows how and finds some simple way so he doesn`t brick his phone

I posted the exact tutorial and process i used 3 days ago and it is to unlock bootloader, download rom he needs and use video to flash it. Simple. I had exact same situation and i fallowed these steps. I don`t see any problem, and if it is, let admins delete my posts and i won`t try to help since it gets judged immediately like i did something terrible. Anyway, since i posted a question my self with a little problem, if this is the way i might get some answers by explaining every single thing i or anyone else post, then this is not the right place to get answers... Best of luck to Powerhero with updating his phone. I hope he chooses best and easiest solution and enjoy his phone with new software.

Anyway, since i posted a question my self with a little problem, if this is the way i might get some answers by explaining every single thing i or anyone else post, then this is not the right place to get answers... Best of luck to Powerhero with updating his phone. I hope he chooses best and easiest solution and enjoy his phone with new software.
Farewell

"You MUST unlock bootloader and install official global rom via fastboot and mi flash utility using PC. Once you unlock bootloader DON`T lock it again!!!!! "

This is wrong, since you have a version of phone Global.

Didn`t have time to read all so i posted what he needs to get the update. Second link is where to get the rom, and third link of video tutorial has everything to do with subject because guy in the video shows how to flash official rom to your phone and what to do if flashing gives error. So it was meant for him to watch, not for others who need netflix. But if he needs netflix he can just ignore most of recommendations here and just root his phone if he knows how and finds some simple way so he doesn`t brick his phone

This is the problem, since you post a tutorial for those who have an unlocked bootloader and this is not the case.
And Youtube is not the reference unlike XDA

If you have a phone in a version other than Chinese, you can completely relock the bootloader. But this has already been mentioned.

Try to download the latest rom in Android 10 rom and update (3 dots at the top right). Same procedure for A11 and A12,first and last.
If nothing works, unlock the bootloader and use Miflash.

After using Mi unlock you will have to wait 168 hours to finalize the procedure.
Then use Miflash to flash the A12 rom, first do not relock the bootloader, check that everything works and that A12 suits you then lock the bootloader if you do not want to try other roms like Xaiomi EU rom.
Mi unlock and Miflash will erase all your data.

one more thing sir and sorry for that. the process with xaiomi phones is a bit different i used to do it with samsung phones.
i did all the steps to unlock the bootloader
and tells me to wait 168 hours to unlock.
now should i use the phone normally and what things not to do untill the 168 hours complete
and finally when flashing the rom.how to prevent re-locking the bootloader and how to lock it if i want to.
thank you best regards
