Hi,
I have a silly question...and I've been looking for a long time but I still don't have a clear answer.
Is it necessary to relock the bootloader after a successfull rooting ?

Do you want a paperweight?
In short tems, no. If you do lock the bootloader (assuming it's a Pixel), you will brick your device (LITERALLY). Meaning it won't work!!! Bahh!!
Thank xXx yYy and webhook
And No thanks for the paperweight.
=P

if so, don't force to unlock your phone, because it will end up hard brick!
If it says no, it's no. Nobody but Sony can change that. Fact.
Hi guys, I've unlocked the bootloader, then I tried to lock it again, but now BL is set on "RELOCKED" and not on "LOCKED".
So, I think, in case I've to send my phone in warranty, I will have problems!
So, the question is: how can I set again in "LOCKED" the bootloader?
Thank you so much!
Did you not use the unlock code provided by Huawei? Otherwise, they already know you voided the warranty.

There is no way if you did it with the 16 digit code. It will be only relock and no lock. Had you used the other way of unlocking, you may have locked it again. Whats the requirements, only to regain warranty?

Yeah, I've requested the code, but it doesn't mean nothing: I Can request it but it doesn't mean that I have to use it! ^_^
Is there a way to set on "locked" the bootloader?
I knew about dc-unlocker, a payware program.. Does It works?

Don't worry. Unless you run into something very critical you wont need it..even though if you go to service centre, not all cares for bootloader.

Ok! Thanks for the support
first relock the bootloader
and then flash the org firmware from Huawei site
same as new
just wipe your device & install stock fimware with sd card everything will fine, like brand new
Ok, perfect.. thx everybody!! Love you

sorry - I misread your post (I thought you wanted to relock the bootloader without TA-backup - possible but useless)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=xperia bootloader warning
found me https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...o-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3201141
THIS is different on my XZ!
But there might be a way without writing a new bootloader.
The guy just patched a binary to jump to the same display as if the bootloader was locked.
No big deal but still highly risky.
I do not know how it works on the XZ. And since this does not bother me, I will not invest my time or risk my phone on a solution.

I might not be that hard.
If it is soft (I do not know) then you could still flash the original binary.

How do i relock bootloader and unroot?
Easiest way is to flash the factory image.

I thought the locked/unlocked bootloader setting was "sticky" though. Is that true?

You should now lock the bootloader for security...
Maybe this question deserves its own thread, but
Why is an unlocked bootloader insecure?

Simple, it allows anyone with physical access to your phone the ability to flash basically anything on it. That said, Ive unlocked every device Ive owned immediately after getting it.
