Is it possible to keep Root if I want to reloack the bootloader (for security and to avoid the "Your phone has been tampered with" screen when turning on the phone)
Yup buddy ,it restores the device completely after relocking
Does it remove TWRP also if I relocked the bootloader?!

ya i know. is it possible to go back just like new one and explorer bootloader show Locked instead of Relocked ?
And after re-relock bootloader when i factory reset. it shows super user app on app drawer. Whts this ??
simple answer = nope
once you`ve unlocked bootloader thats it, warranty is void.....there is no way as yet to re-lock bootloader without it saying "relocked"

ah, when you first unlocked bootloader you probably installed yannou`s recovery (CWM) and installed superuser too.....unless you did a nandroid backup BEFORE installing superuser then i think you`ll have to use RUU package to fully get back stock rom without superuser being included....word of warning it has been said that factory reseting phone from bootloader will cause bootloop if your rooted..........their are utilities like SuperOneClickv2.3.3 that can un-root aswell as root phones............personally I would use RUU package to get back TOTALLY stock rom..but thats me
Hello. is it possible to unlock bootloader without wiping the whole device ? I have unlocked it before and later relocked back.

No, it is not possible, every unlock will wipe the device.
I want to root my honor 8 L04 but I was wondering if it will void my warranty.
Thanks,
Thinh
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.

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.

Hi,
I haven't done anything in the way of rooting or custom recovery or anything. I did unlock the bootloader first thing due to the wipe that occurs as part of the process.
How do I relock the bootloader? I did some research and all that I've found so far is people cautioning for past OP devices about the standard relock procedure so I just wanted to ask the question to make sure I don't break anything.
I am on Stock everything so can I just fastboot oem lock?

Yep, that should be it as long as you didn't root.

Thanks!

Do we get widewine l1 back after relocking the bootloader?
U could always use the msm unbrick tool

You do know that any time you unlock or relock your bootloader it will wipe your phone?

Yup that's why the first thing I did was unlock it. Now I am relocking it since I don't intend to keep it.
Thanks!

Maybe I'm confused but why did you unlock it in the first place if you were just going to relock it?
Edit: I think I follow now, you unlock the bootloader when you first got the phone and now you're not keeping the phone so you're relocking the bootloader?

I got the phone, unlocked it so I wouldn't have to wipe later, used it for a week, decided it's not for me, and am relocking it.
