No, but if you're using a custom kernel, you'll brick the phone.

Totally Right, check very well what are you have on your phone then do what you want to do. Relock Bootloader can be possible with Stock Kernel only.

I have a Dev edition and have unlocked my bootloader and rooted. My next question is there any benefit to relocking bootloader and keeping root? In addition is there any benefit to flashing original recovery? I mainly wanted root for Xposed.
Simple answer no and no. You only need stock recovery if you want to take an ota

Would relocking bootloader provide more security?

This has been asked/answered many times.
As kwyrt said, No.
If/when something is out, you'll see a big thread about it. For now, don't hold your breath.
thank u
Do I loose root and does it lock my bootloader again if I factory reset my stock rom?

The Bootloader unlocked, is to use Custom rom, if you block it, the root and rom stock, will continue.

Yes you will lose root. I do not know if it locks the boot loader but if it is unlocked I do not think it would lock. Why are you factory resetting, just out of curiosity?

Maybe I sell the phone at somebody who wants an unlocked bootloader, twrp and root.

Alrighty. It may be better if you wipe the phone and then flash the modified stock ROM because it is debloated and you will already have root.

There is no such rom for d405n (there is one for d405...)

My apologies. I just checked and saw that it was only for the D415. Isn't the only difference between the D405n and the D405 was NFC so couldn't it work?
I doesn't work is said in the thread.
I'm interested in rooting my nexus 6. I know that you have to unlock the bootloader in order to root the phone and install a custom recovery. But after all of that is done is it ok for me to re-lock the bootloader for security reasons or will it have any issues?
Thanks in advance.

Why is that the case? I was able to unlock flash 5.0, relock and side load 5.1. Did Google change something in 5.1?

Yes. Very much so.
problem is.. you now have to enable oem unlocking, to unlock the bootloader. technically, you can still be rooted and lock your bootloader. but the problem is that some have gone back and relocked their bootloader(not with root i dont think so) only to find that they cant boot up, that they end up with a boot loop. and then they cant unlock their bootloaders to flash the factory.img, because you need to check that setting first, to unlock the bootloader. honestly, i think someone with root, and twrp, would be able to. if not, you can fix it by formatting a few things(if you have twrp).

If you have a custom recovery installed, then having a locked bootloader is no more secure than having an unlocked one...

Yeah the title says it all. Just wondering if that's possible or not since I'm not sure if I'd have to wait for a week for my phone to be unlocked, while I could get the job done in no time.
If unlocking the bootloader is required, then would force unlocking it using mtkclient work (triggers bootloop, haven't tried to relock it and see if it fixes it)? Or will it only work through official bootloader unlocking?
No, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a recovery over the stock one

Oh, alright then. Thanks. But can I just force unlock it or is official unlocking required?

You need to unlock first, since locked bootloader will block any flash over system partitions

I meant if I should unlock it using the official method, or using the mtkclient method?
