Just curious if the bootloader is relocked after accepting the OTA, and if so will the code have to be re entered? Or will a Fastboot OEM unlock suffice?

So if I downgrade and take OTAs will the bootloader unlock remain, and is this even possible?
Once the bootloader is unlocked it cannot be changed to its original state...
I have an XT1033 Asia retail, and im trying to unlock its bootloader AFTER upgrading it to 4.4.4 stock kitkat. Ive read that it is a common bug with the bootloader of moto g after upgrading to 4.4.4. I follow all the steps perfectly, but when i type the unlock code in CMD prompt, it shows failure in unlocking due to wrong unlock code. Is there any fix available? Is there any way to downgrade XT1033 asia retail locked bootloader to 4.4.2? Would it do the trick? Please help me.

You can relock the bootloader but, apparently, Motorola will know that you unlocked the bootloader even though it says "locked" on the fastboot screen.

thanks for reply. m just worried about warranty. so will i get warranty back ? and btw m on 5.0.2 asiaretail.
I used to have a Motorola Atrix HD with a locked bootloader. Once the Atrix bootloader is unlocked, it blows an e-fuse which cannot be reset, like the Samsung phones. I think the Moto G uses an e-fuse too.

no, once the bootloader was unlocked, you lost the warranty

How to check bootloader if unlocked for moto g xt1033??
I buy it directly unlocked without carrier, so does it need unlocking?
