Hello, i have a big doubt about unlock my Mate 9.
I have read some guides but i'am confused, i will not lose the warranty and i see that with software dc-unlocker is possible relock the bootloader at original status, it is right? there are other softwares that do same job?
Sorry for my bad english.
thanks for help

There's a difference between lock and relock.
Relock will say 're-locked' in the bootloader, and that's probably voiding warranty.
You can get it to say 'locked' by flashing official firmware, you have a few options here...
1. Firmware Finder
2. Flash update guide
3. Dload method (only for C636B136 and AL00C00B115)
4. FunkyHuawei (paid)
5. Dc unlocked (i think anyway, and paid)

No. When you flash stock firmware everything is back to stock. If there was a way to flash a modified update.zip with Twrp as recovery instead of stock recovery it would be possible. But as far as I know we can't yet. I've tried to repack using Huawei Update extractor but it doesn't want to, header mismatch. (this is on all extracted files, not just twrp)
The only reason to get locked bootloader would be if you needed to return the phone because of a software error. If it's hardware it should be replaced anyway.

Yep. Flashing stock firmware will do that.
You won't get rid of emui though. We don't have AOSP so emui is always there...

sorry for my bad thing. But can i ask you help me this case:
i have Mate 9 Pro LON-L29C636C361 (lastest Oreo ) , but my bootloader is unlocked, and maybe not have stock recovery .
So, which method can flash again full rom C361 (3 file : update.zip, data full, hw...etc) and complete back to stock with locked bootloader???
I read somewhere about method LON-HWOTA, but it fail when flash TWRP step, because i am on Oero, so this method can not use in this my case . Can you show me another way ?
to relock bootloader on Android 8 (MUI8), only works if you have your CORRECT oeminfo.bin. make sure you backup yours before rebranding
1. just flash TWRP
2. make folder folder HWOTA8 on SD card
3. Download HWOTA8 and copy "hwota8_rebrand" to SDcard
4. Copy your oeminfo.bin file to HWOTA8 folder.. Make sure to rename your file to oeminfo.bin
5. Boot into TWRP and install from SDcard hwota8_rebrand
Done bootloader relocked
Hi All.
I have an xz on oreo. My bootloader isnt unlockable so im wondering if theres a way to root the phone without having to flash twrp etc.
I see that oneclickroot say its unlockable but want 29$ which I think is a scam.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
No. It's literally impossible.
Any app saying otherwise is pure scam.

Sadly noway I know of. Again unfortunately After android lollipop and adding of dm variety check and ric protection there is noway to root without unlocked bootloader.

If you can download a MM firmware and flash that using flashtool you can root without unlocking the bootloader.

Yes, that is what I said. There was still a vulnaribility in the MM firmware (Dirtycow) so if you can find a FTF for MM, then you can flash that with flashtool and use the dirty cow exploit (Thread in general section) to root.

can you give a link for the method? pls
Hmm,,
Looking back I can only see threads about temporary root. I was positive you could root on marshmellow….maybe some more gooloing required
I have searched for it on Google and the results are only for those who have ubl yes, but is there really a way in this forum?

Yes, you can achieve temp root on marshmellow, that is how the TA backup tool work. I was pretty sure from there you could install arecoevry and flash a stock based rooted rom with a stock kernel. So its a system root not a kernel root, but this is going back a couple of years as since nougat this exploit was patched and only unlocked bootloader root was available.
But there the XZ can be downgraded to MM so its possible.
Oh, I've found it, maybe later I'll try it ... Thank you for the help bro ...
since xz came out on Android 6.01
so downgrade to ADROID 6.0
extract DRMKEYS ( TA.IMG)
UPGRADE TO ANDROID OREO
UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER
ROOT IT
AND RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER AGAIN WITH TA.IMG
just give me the android version you wana stay and i will send u modded kernel, the one given in the post has universal drm fix! and if you relock your bootloader it will go in to bootloops!

If you relock the bootloader you cannot use a modded kernel. You have to keep the bootloader unlocked.

What about Android 7.0 bro? Is it safe to extract the drmkey? And Is this method safe for XZ docomo?

No, can only be done on 6
But I searched Google for backup TA but the conditions must be rooted, whereas I want to backup TA for root

Yes, on android 6 you can temporarily root to backup the TA, then you can revert back to any version of android and unlock the bootloader to flash a custom rooted kernel to gain root.
However, if you restore your TA it relocks the bootloader, meaning only a stock unrooted kernel will work.
So, use flashtool to flash a MM FTF and use the TA backup tool to backup your TA. Then just unlock your bootloader and use a custom rom.
Ohh now I understand, thank you for your explanation bro and I hope I managed to try it
Does it work with Sony Xperia X Performance
---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------
I have sov33 Sony Xperia X performance... So what i should do is :
1.Downgrade to MM
2.Get temporary root
3.Install twrp app and install twrp
4.Flash rooted stock rom
5.Done
Hi, is It possible to relock bootloader for to have warranty back?
Thanks
once you flash the stock img, it will be locked again.
Till Nougat, we had dload method which locks it fully (other method for unlocking it would just re-lock it)

Hey, i am in the same situation and after flashing the stock rom + stock recovery my bootloader is still unlocked, and i still get that "This device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen on boot.
Is there any way to manually lock the bootloader?
Edit: i found this SRKTool and i was able to easily relock the bootloader. You need the Unlock code though and it resets your phone, so backup your data.

If so, better dload the current firmware and it will lock it safely.

i have 8.1.0.151 (c432)
i was downloaded this version when im trying to rebranding.. for official site..
if i relock with this version, the worse scenario it will be...??? brick???
if i dload the current firmware, i will install it with TWRP again? and after it will be locked safety?
and what firmware i must to dload?
I have the TMobile us gm1915 op7pro and my current firmware is 9.5.6 gm31cb
If I follow the root guides here on xda and I download OOS latest on their site is 9.5.4gm21aa and I use magisk on my phone to patch the boot.img and then root that way, will it erase my phone to where I have to start from scratch like a new phone?

The question is, can I lock the bootloader with the old version of the official firmware installed without getting a brick. Because the old version of the firmware works smoother.
Locking a bootloader doesn't affect ROM actually installed: Lock or Unlock will wipe your data, that's all.

You still, or I didn´t find, that you mention the model of your device, that´s matter to have the right answer.
Also, it depends on which method you used to flash the ROM, if you officially, flashed the ROM, and the rollback didn´t affect your device, then it won´t do, locking or unlocking it.

The stock ROM can be installed on the phone at any time. Mostly via ADB / Fastboot tools.

My phone is Sony Xperia 1 J9110. I flashed it officially to the latest ROM through settings. Then I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the old stock ROM via newflasher. Then I decided to relock the bootloader with old stock ROM installed. Does this mean that I will get my phone bricked if I lock the bootloader with old stock ROM actually installed?

Yes, always that you flash a stock ROM, you can re-lock it, fastboot will erase the data as a security measurement.
