Bootloader locked or unlocked ?

How do i see on my Nexus One if my bootloader is locked or unlocked ??
I am newbie on Nexus G1 - sorry.
thanks by spirotop

Hi,
You will see an unlocked icon at boot.

Sorry, can't post link yet.
What do you need to do ?
Flash a custom rom ? Don't need unlocked bootloader for that now (unless you are in 2.3.4)
Re-lock bootloader to sell phone ? You can't.

I don't see any icon at boot. I have installed Mark Denver's ROM 2.3.5.

Well if you don't see the unlocked pad lock at the splash screen that means your bootloader is locked. And just so you know you can do almost everything with only root access you don't need an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Xperia X8 Unlock-Sim question.

Hello! I'm sure I have read a post on the forums about this a few months back but cannot find it for the life of me so apologies if its been asked already....
I want to sim-unlock my SE x8 E15i. The phone was running custom kernel and ROM (with unlocked bootloader).
I've now restored the phone to stock (both kernel and rom) and relocked the bootloader - Its nowe back to "factory" settings.
I'm now ready to call and pay my provider for the sim-unlock code....
My question is, once the phone has been SIM-unlocked am i free to unlock the bootloader to flash kernels and roms WITHOUT loosing the sim-unlock which i have paid for.
I've tried to find out more about how the IMEI number and the unlock code behave (e.g. where the unlock code is saved to. Im not sure if it's in the bootloader. If it is will unlocking the bootloader mess up the unlock codes? etc).
Many thanks in advance.

[Q][DEV] Bootloaderproblem, Change ODM_reserved

Hello Community,
i have compared Bootloader unlocked and Bottloader locked Devices (all 262-000).
And itßs all same, except ODM_RESERVED in/sys/firmware/fuse/.
bootloader Unlocked have 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000040000000c0
but Bootloader locked devices have 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000008000000000
Is it the the problem for no unlocked Bootloader devices?
How can we change the ODM_RESERVED?
And Sry for my very bad english

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
due to the fact that it's in /sys, you can change everything as you wish. it's all kernel related and it gets restored after every reboot...
and i don't think that this is the value, that decides if the phone unlockable or not, i think it's only a flag, that tells the system if the BL is unlocked or not

[Q] Unlockable Bootloader

Hey,
I just had a thought this morning regarding the situation with Locked bootloader's that can't be unlocked is it possible to flash a stock ftf file which originally allowed the bootloader to be unlocked to a locked phone, if it is possible using this method can someone give me a stock ftf which has the original unlockable bootloader and I will try it.
I hope someone knows the answer to my question

You can flash the FTF, but it will not make a non-unlockable bootloader into an unlockable one. It is not that simple. If it was, don't you think it would be common knowledge and the recommended course of action?
