Any way to lock the Bootloader without flashing the stock firmware again?
Correct me if I am wrong, but the last time i checked you CAN'T lock Bootloader after you unlock it.

I unlocked my bootloader in the past but I needed to relock to update my stock firmware. I relocked it by flashing this https://www.dropbox.com/s/bq29i4f6vmlxptk/Xperia_U_ST25i_Relock_Bootloader.ftf . Now, is my bootloader still unlocked? If not how can I unlock and after that come to my current setup? Will a TB backup do it?
Anyone?
Hey guys i was just wondering if there was any way to flash back to stock without loosing my bootloader unlock?
the only way to re-lock the bootloader is by using the fastboot command for it.
This is an interesting question.
I am currently on the latest 4.4.4 and now I would like to try CM 12.x (5.1.).
In case I do not like 5.1, how do I get back to stock without losing the unlocked bootloader?
flashing back to stock will not relock your bootloader. the only way is by fastboot command. so if you an unlocked bootloader there is no need to worry about losing that. you will however lose root which is easy to get back.
I'm trying to flash a stock rom on my phone, but it doesn't work. I unlocked OEM unlocking and don't understand why it's not working.
Hello,
A few days ago I managed to go back to a stock rom from a custom one. I have a FRD-L09432B360 firmware at the moment, but the bootloader is unlocked. I don't remember the code I used to unlock the bootloader, and I'd like to relock the bootloader so I am able to update to the latest firmwares. I've read that by downgrading to Marshmellow the bootloader will relock itself.
I am following this guide to do so, but when I reboot to apply the UPDATE.APP of the rollback package, it get stucks on 5% for a while, and after a few minutes it reboots, leaving me with the same firmware.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Is there another way to relock the bootloader without the unlocking code?
Thanks a lot,
Mcat
I still haven't been able to fix this issue? Any idea is appreciated, thanks
You don't need to relock the bootloader to update. Use hurupdater
Hi all,
Does any of you have the answer for the above mentioned ?
Please advice
Nope, you have to relock manually after flashing the RUU. Do not relock ever unless you RUU first.
I thought flashing a fresh firmware will lock back the bootloader automatically.
What a waste, in this case HTC service centre people will know we have modified the software via unlocking bootloader
