I unlocked my bootloader with the ez-unclock app. i opened the app and its status was unknown? i then clicked unlocked and it changed to "unlocked?
is this right?
how do we know if it is unlocked?
i "adb reboot bootloader" and see the normal odin download thing?
BY the way how do you guys get out of there without flashing using odin i have never figured it out?
Thanks
Paul
As long as you unlocked it it will be unlocked. It won't show unlocked in Odin nut it is unlocked. You el really won't know until you flash a kernel. It is unlocked though

Thanks. what about reflashing a stock bloated rom in odin. will that therefore restore the boot and will you loose the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks so much

hi sorry for noob question in advance!
i rooted my phone a while ago, and i think i remember unlocking bootloader but im not sure. i DO have TWRP recovery, does that mean that i had to unlock my bootloader to get it; thus it is unlocked?
thanks!

well to get root/custom recovery you either had to have made it s-off or you unlocked your bootloader. whats the problem? are you not able to get into hboot to check?
bootloader
If you let me know your phone make and model i will be happy to show you how to check boot loader status.
Hi all,
I have a rooted and unlocked Nexus 5. Just wondering if my bootloader will remain unlocked after Lollipop update, either through OTA or factory image. I need the bootloader to remain unlocked in case an unlocked bootloader becomes the prerequisite for rooting forever.
Thanks!

The bootloader will only lock if you specifically lock it using fastboot or an app. No other way

So a locked bootloader remains locked and an unlocked one stays unlocked if I don't change anything in the OTA zip or Factory Image when flashing? Or don't specify it in adb?

Hi I wonder how do I unroot Honor 6 I need it because I need to Get the phone in store so I can get a new screen (activate the varenty)
Sadly even if you unrooted they would know you have unlocked the bootloader. You should do the warranty via the retailer.
Don't try any unroot method/App. It will not 100% unroot your phone. Flash the stock Rom + relock the bootloader ( you would need the unlock code you used to unlock your boot loader to re-lock the bootlader. When you do those two steps, go the retail store and use your warranty without any issues

You can see the bootloader was unlocked by going to fastboot mode.

What does it show on fastboot mode if you locked the bootloader?

I don't know the precise wording but it goes something like "relocked state" or "relocked bootloader".

If it says REloced, then it will be depending on the warranty. But if it says Locked, then there is no issue.

If the person is wanting to unroot, that means they've unlocked the bootloader to root. That also means if they relocked the bootloader, the service center would know.

If the person isn't trying to understand the opposite side, and arguing instead of asking for clarification then he wouldn't really get the point!

Hey guys! I unlocked my bootloader keeping my DRM Keys by using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Now I'm on ZyxxOS ROM and I would like to return to stock ROM, make root and relock the bootloader.
The problem is that I don't know how I can root the phone after flashing the ftf of the stock ROM, can someone tell me how o provide me a link to a tutorial? I've searched and didn't see any around the forum

There is a big thread in the general section on how to root with a locked bootloader.

Flash an insecure kernel. Its the easiest way to root. But in the OP you said you wanted to re-lock the bootloader, then you cannot boot an insecure kernel.
Please let me know if you will have a locked or unlocked bootloader.

Why? You will lose root when you re-lock
Just go back to stock and re-lock then use the massive thread in the general section to root.
Also, that rooting method works on unlocked bootloaders as well. Anything that works on a locked bootloader works on an unlocked bootloader as well.

Yes it does and the current method for rooting is kinda sketchy at this time. I'm waiting untill the lineage ROM is done and hopefully by then we will have a better rooting method.

Is it possible to relock bootloader after unlock? I've read a lot of opposing opinions about this :/

Yes you can relock the bootloader, however it will say relocked bootloader and not locked bootloader like it originally said so you can still see that the bootloader had been unlocked at some point.

To get the status "locked" back you have to downgrade to emui 4.1

I have one question, if I had unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my phone, then unrooted it, reverted to stock recovery and relocked bootloader, can I still receive OTA updates?
