Nope, no need at all, those don't affect your warranty with OnePlus.

No, you have lost the DRM keys forever.
You can relock using flashtool, but it will not restore your DRM keys

Possible to completely reset your Honor 8? Lock bootloader, reset warning etc

Is there any way to completely reset your Honor 8?
I unlocked bootloader with code from huawei, rooted, twrp etc.
Is there any way to completely restore it to factory default?
I tried unrooting it and locked the bootloader using the tool here on the forum. But the warning is still there when you booted, that its been tampered with and is unsafe etc.
Is there no way to completely factory reset it, like it was when it was new?

If u have L09 u should flash stock recovery and then flash stock full firmware B101 and the bootloader should be locked and warning should be gone.
I guess there is an internal counter that is tripped when bootloader is unlocked. Like Samsung's Knox.
I have L04, after updating manually root was wiped and stock recovery installed but was still getting bootloader warning. I booted into stock "erecovery" by holding volume up while booting. From there i restored stock firmware and when rebooted warning was gone. So I am now stock without unlocked warning on boot, YAY!
I unlocked my bootloader and then installed the B131 full update. Afterwards my bootloader was locked again and i had it to unlock again.
-> If you want to completely reset, install a full update and do a factory reset
@whiper: after the bootloader was locked and you unlock again, did the phone a factory reset?

Yes. The unlocking process was the same after the update as before including factory reset.
I think the B131 update includes all partitions so that the unlock flag is overwritten.
After the update all was normal, no data wipe, but bootloader locked. I had to unlock it again and all data was wiped.
When i do the next update i will try an ota version.
(With my Honor 7 i did a full update which does not lock the bootloader, so i think it depends from the partitions the update contains)
Guys, just to make it clear. I have a L04 model. i am bootloader unlocked, rooted and have TWRP installed. Is it possible to relock and go back to stock, but simply flashing the stock L04 firmware? Does Honor 8 have some inbuilt trip to notify that the bootloader is unlocked?

I already downloaded the package but one cannot simply rollback to previous version without flashing two
Update.app files.
I tried and failed. Wondering what does the 30mb update.app file does, does it unlock the bootloader or anything that voids warranty ?

In my case no, i broke my retro glass and i took the phone to the assistance, but before i relocked it with the roolback, and they did not sad nothing. And i got my phone fixed. If you enter in fastboot mode you can see frp/phone ulocked, and after flashing the roolback if you reenter in fastboot you will se frp locked in green
Thanks

does rooting void my warrenty??
To send phone for warranty :
1. unroot
2. flash stock ROM
If your phone China Set, flash China ROM
If your phone Global Set, flash Global ROM
3. Lock the bootloader
