Just curious if the bootloader is relocked after accepting the OTA, and if so will the code have to be re entered? Or will a Fastboot OEM unlock suffice?

So if I downgrade and take OTAs will the bootloader unlock remain, and is this even possible?
Once the bootloader is unlocked it cannot be changed to its original state...

Yes, make sure to backup your TA first, otherwise you can't relock it again.

You need not unlockbootloader just to root, but if you are changing kernels..then you should unlock
no need to unlock
Here you can find how to root .14 simply with no unlocked bootloader required

U can re-lock bootloader by using this command, however it will say re-locked instead of locked...
Code:
fastboot oem lock
I bought a used Z3. I want to make sure that the bootloader has not been relocked. I have gone into the service menu and it does not say that it is unlocked. If it had been relocked, would it say it there? Is there a way I can check that it hasn't been unlocked and then relocked?
*#*#7378423#*#*
Service info/configuration
Bootloader unlock allowed:No (Boot is locked and cannot be unlocked)
Bootloader unlock allowed:yes (Boot is loacked but can be unlocked)
Bootloader unlocked:yes (Boot is unlocked)

I don't think you can tell if it has been locked and relocked

Afaik
It won't
yeah I've got Bootloader unlock allowed:yes but that doesn't say whether it's been relocked.
on some HTC devices it would say "relocked" in the bootloader, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.
and unfortunately I don't have anything to miracast with anyway.

and that's how you do it, folks!
Just got my OnePlus One yesterday and I was gonna unlock the bootloader but there is a update out.
So my question is:
Do I update THEN unlock the bootloader?
Do I unlock the bootloader THEN update?
Does it matter?
Thank you

It doesn't matter - just unlock it before you install anything
Doesn't matter at all, as @spanna said. The bootloader can be unlocked no matter which build you're on.

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!
