LOCKING BOOT LOADER
You need ADB so follow these steps.
To lock your boot loader you definitely need to have a proper connection between your device and computer.
To re lock your boot loader you need to:
1. Turn off your device
2. Hold your volume down button and press the power button. (KEEP HOLDING YOUR VOLUME DOWN BUTTON) You will see a white screen with fastboot written on it.
3. Navigate with your volume up or down to fastboot and press the power button to select it.
4. Connect your device with your computer,
5. Open the terminal in your computer and type in 'adb devices',
6. Type in 'fastboot oem lock' without quotes and your device is locked again, you will see relocked.
but i don't know the status of my bootloader.. if i have bootloader unlocked, i can re-use the zip to back to stock, that it includes relock bootloader
and if i have bootloader locked, i will unlock it
how i can know if it is unlocked or locked? thanks!

You could try flashing a custom recovery to it. If it works, then your bootloader is unlocked.

Only try to flash a custom recovery. If it works, you have unlocked bootloader.
Remember that locking back your bootloader can brick your tablet, and that locked bootloader is not needed for the updates.
I unlocked twice my unlocked bootloader and notting happened, it said "it's already unlocked" or something similar, but do at your own risk.
i dont flash a recovery yet but.. i can enter to android system recovery <3e>
does this mean that i have bootloader unlocked?
thanks!
EDIT. i flash twp2 and it works.. so i hadn't have my bootloader locked..
sure, i'm gonna flash ICS.. no more JB now
I appear to be in a conundrum. I'm looking to change the recovery I have from CWM(T) 5.8.0.2 to the newest CWM(T), but my girlfriend insists on that I keep the bootloader locked. I updated it once before but I can't seem to find the instructions to update it again.
Can anyone help me here? and if at the very least, give me some reasons to help me convince her to let me unlock it.
Ignore the girlfriend and unlock the bootloader, it always can be relocked and no one will ever know that it was unlocked! once unlocked use fastboot to flash the recovery of your choice, plenty of guides with commands to do so.
I see there is a way to get root, but is there a way to unlock and get bootloader
Hello guys,
I have a Moto G, Dual Sim variant.
I decided to lock my bootloader, but even after i locked the bootloader back, the warning on the boot screen won't go
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Im assuming you're talking about the screen saying "Warning Bootloader Unlocked"??
If so, unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
Follow the instructions over here:

Download the second zip in the OP, "logo.zip"
Go to your recovery and flash it.
Your Warning Screen should be gone

This will remove the unlock message but if you check on the fastboot screen your phone will still say locked. code 2 Once unlocked you can relock the bootloader but you can never get back to a locked code 0
Forgot to mention that. What he said. Once you unlock your bootloader, it will never be 0. If you try to go for warranty or something like that, I'm assuming that's how Motorola or whatever will know you unlocked your bootloader and hence, voided your warranty.
Thank you everyone, I just wanted to unlock the bootloader because i am giving my Moto to my brother
Hi, I have the T-Mobile H830 Variant. I'm try to relock my bootloader because I have to take it back soon. I've already fully Unrooted my device but my bootloader is still unlock. I was wondering did anyone know of any way possible to relock the bootloader. It would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
I'm wondering the samething. Might have to do it the same way you unlocked it. I used fastboot to unlock the bootloader. How did you unroot it.
Boot to fastboot mode then thru an adb shell, type the following: fastboot oem lock
Note this will erase your entire device.
