If I rooted my Nexus 5 and stayed on Stock ROM, would it be possible to re-lock the bootloader for security purposes (such as preventing cold-boot attacks) while still having root?
I would try it myself, but unfortunately, the bootloader is still locked on my Nexus and losing all data (even temporary) is no option.
Thanks in advance!

Couldn't find an app named exactly like this, but another one built for the same purpose. However, thanks a lot!

to do it manually, all you do is type via fastboot.. fastboot oem lock.
Hello Guys
I just got a M9 today. Reading here I see that the Android Oreo is available. My version is MHAL29. So, tried some methods to update but no success.
So, there is a way to update without unlocking bootloader ?! Like OTA or something like that

Why isn't your theme working? Are you on custom rom?

I don't know why. I put my device on fastboot mode, and my bootloader appears locked, but in settings I have no option to update (there is no app), and themes doesn't work. I read that when we get the bootloader unlocked, this features get broke.

I don't think there's an offline firmware update zip like there is for the C636, which would basically reinstall your firmware. That's why I asked which version you were on.
If you can't find a way to resolve this then you could always rebrand to the C636 and it will reinstall your firmware in full
I'd try using firmware finder from the play store first and see if you can install an update using the proxy add-on, however, you'll need to get into system update to do this. Can you not even get into that from settings?

no way you are rooted when you flashed the latest firmware via odin
and can't you just press on the oem-unlock button to lock the bootloader again?

Why should you want your OEM to be locked again, that has no advantage over anything

That's because knox is tripped, you can't undo that, shouldn't of rooted the phone if you wanted those apps to function.

This is not possible BL must be unlocked for any kind of flashing or installing twrp.

I just realized that when I boot up the phone, it shows the "Redmi by Xiaomi" and below it says unlocked, (IDK if it has any relation). But the Developer options say that BL is locked and OEM Unlocking can be enabled. What does this mean?
This is same with me miui 11 stockrom
Magisk flashing creats bootloader locked
If i uninstall magisk it show unlocked again
Even Netflix installation works by this in playstore

Well that's cos at one point you had unlocked your bootloader and might have dirty flashed MIUI or used fastboot images, which aren't able to recognise the state. But in reality it remains unlocked and it just shows locked in the settings.

Yes true. It is unlocked. The unlocked message at boot verifies that bl is unlocked.

I apologize if this is a bit too late, but I have a follow up question. Can I try to unlock the bootloader even if it's really unlocked just to connect my account to my phone or something like that?

If it's unlocked, the Mi account is already linked tho.
Even if you try you won't see a difference, maybe the unlocked symbol might come up.

So I won't have any problems doing it? The thing is I bought my phone with the BL already unlocked.

Woah. Unauthorised seller eh. Are you sure you are running the Orginal MIUI? The reason Xioami started locking away the bootloader was cos of these unauthorised sellers, unlocking the device and flashing it with an outdated ROM. You should try, Go to Developer settings, link your current Mi account and then proceed to unlock. Or if it says an acc is already linked, lock the bootloader (only if on MIUI Stock, Custom ROM would lead to a bootloop), and now go link your account. (Do take backups before proceeding)

Well, I did flash the latest MIUI Indian Global ROM a few weeks back so maybe I am running Original MIUI?
But I'm still gonna try to "unlock" it. And is there an option to keep all data after the unlock?
EDIT: I just read the Mi Unlock Tool's disclaimer and how they say some features won't work after the unlock. I mean, I know mine is unlocked but I think I'll just keep those features.

Usually the first time you unlock it wipes your internal storage , but it doesn't wipe it in the subsequent unlocks (as far as I've tried). Yep it doesn't actually affect any system functions.. everything is as smooth as before..Find my device works fine as well..the only risk is that if your device gets stolen they could easily wipe MIUI and bypass that account lock by flashing a custom ROM.
I have Tmobile Oneplus 8. I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet. Will I have any issues with Google pay with unlocked bootloader if I'm going to unlock it?
I'm using company secure email app on my phone as well. If I have any issues, will I be able to lock the bootloader?
I don't know about tmobile version. But i have unlocked bootloader + root on oos11 and google pay is working fine here
I'm trying stock with locked bootloader and no root for the first time in maybe 8 years, but I've always got everything to work. You tried hiding it in Magisk?
