You can relock the bootloader but, apparently, Motorola will know that you unlocked the bootloader even though it says "locked" on the fastboot screen.

thanks for reply. m just worried about warranty. so will i get warranty back ? and btw m on 5.0.2 asiaretail.
I used to have a Motorola Atrix HD with a locked bootloader. Once the Atrix bootloader is unlocked, it blows an e-fuse which cannot be reset, like the Samsung phones. I think the Moto G uses an e-fuse too.

no, once the bootloader was unlocked, you lost the warranty

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...
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!

Just wondering whether the unlocked bootloader warning vanishes after relocking bootloader with code fastboot OEM LOCK
No the message does not go away.

You can flash one of the bootloader unlock fixes that have been posted. You'll have to boot to TWRP to flash them. Your bootloader will always show unlocked AFA Motorola is concerned. All you can do is remove that nag screen.

Please follow my Thread.. You will be solved.. Just use that logo.bin file for flashing in boatloader via 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' without quotes.. Done..

Remember that doing this will have no effect on your warranty, Motorola doesn't care what your phone shows, they don't even care if you actually unlock it, once you accept the T&C and get the unlock token, even if you never use it, your warranty is voided.
What I am saying is the screen is purely cosmetic, nothing else.
I want to root my honor 8 L04 but I was wondering if it will void my warranty.
Thanks,

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.

Ok thanks for the reply!
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?

You don't. You know the saying.... Once you go bootloader unlocked, you never go back. :laugh:
There's a DRM fix which brings back camera and other functionalities that are usually lost on unlock. So use that.
