[Q] how to tell if bootloader has been relocked - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Ah, and now I see the edit... nevermind

Try using miracast
It's reported to be broken in devices with unlocked bootloader

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.

if you visit htc dev site again and go to unlock bootloader
you will see 1 or 2 last steps on how to relock bootloader
anyway use these commands to relock your device
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
i assume you know how to do it

no
the only way is replacing jtag

OTA with Chinaman unlock.

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...

[Q] How do I unroot Honor 6??

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!

Bootloader unlock allowed-no

I bought m2 from Croatian t-mobile and I can't unlock the bootloader.I can use this recovery:https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/development/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492
But I want to flash LinageOs 14.1, but @galaxyfreak says that it needs an unlocked bootloader.
I heard if you flash older firmware that it can change from no to yes.
Any recommendations?

The bootloader unlock allowed:no thing means that you'll never be able to use custom roms if they don't support locked bootloaders.
It can be unlocked, that is just nonsense. The phone is network locked since the bootloader cannot be unlocked. SIM unlock your phone and the bootloader will be able to be unlocked
Not work for me. My phone was network locked to telenor,and they give a code.
Now is sim unlocked for all networks,but still says -
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
