My phone came with unlocked bootloader and I want to lock it.
Any guidelines will be much appreciated.
Also how do I reset phone as i can't find any reset option in settings menu and since it doesn't come with recovery i can't even reset it using that.

I'll add my request for you to share how the reset worked, in case any other XDAers would like to do the same.

I've managed to reset phone not lock bootloader for the record.
For future reference, if I'm not mistaking, using ADB/Fastboot, you need to use the command fastboot oem relock or fastboot oem lock.
Alternatively, since you're already bootloader unlocked, you can place the device in EDL mode and use the MiFlashTool which has an option somewhere to lock.
I'm amazed nobody really answered this. I'll post the process later as I plan on relocking mine in order to be able to use Android Pay.

Samsung Pay isn't available for our device. If you installed it from an APK, I am more than positive it will not work since itost likely needs to be embedded into the system on a Samsung device. In short, it's a Samsung thing.

Just out of curiousity, when you say "holiday edition", are you referring to the N1s given to Google employees before the phone was released, or is this just a clever way of acknowledging the good luck of those who got a re-lockable phone?
If the latter, is there any pattern by which one can recognise these phones (serial number, manufacturing date/facility, etc.), or is it just luck of the draw?

I'm not 100% sure but I believe "Holiday edition" refers to the special versions of the phones that have the battery cover with a QR code in it, as said QR code leads to a special holiday game when scanned on the Nexus One. Serial number can't be used to determine which Nexii (Nexuses?) can be relocked and which can't. The easiest way to tell if a Nexus One can be relocked is to power it off, hold the track ball, and power it on again. This boots into the bootloader where you will see on the second line something like "NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON." 'S-ON' means that the bootloader can not be relocked while 'S-OFF' indicates a device can be easily be relocked by running a simple fastboot command from your computer, ''fastboot oem lock." I hope this answers your question.
I know the Nexus One has already been successfully rooted without unlocking the bootloader, but I still hope we can figure out a method for relocking the bootloader. I don't mean to scam warranty, I just hate that awful lock icon on the boot screen.

Shouldn't it be possible to simply flash the SPL from a re-lockable phone onto a phone that (before) couldn't?

Unfortunately, no this is not possible. Trying to do so would most likely lead to a bricked handset as the retail devices have a 512k spl and the engineering spl from holiday phones is 768k in size.

It will not brick the phone. It will work fine for what it's meant to do. Here's a quote from the page
What will be the end result of your Nexus One:
It will reset your system files to the original System Files
It will reset your kernel/boot image to the original shipping boot image
It will reset your recovery to original recovery
The only thing we will not be able to do at this time is to RE-LOCK your Nexus One.

Note that this does not re-lock the device which is what this thread is about. As of right now, there is no way that has been made publicly visible to relock the bootloader of an unlocked S-ON Nexus One. Maybe in the future there will be a way. I hope so, but for now, we're stuck. The method from the link can be used only to restore your phone to the stock ROM, so that you can once again receive OTA updates. It will take away your root priveleges, which I'd assume is the reason you've unlocked your device in the first place. So unless you're tired of being in control of your device, it's pointless.

hi all
sorry for my bad English
my nexus is bootlooped and locked , the oem (what the hell is that google?) is not marked , and i've read 4 topic in here and have founded there is no way to fix it
so the only way is : send it for replacement ?
in my country Moto doesn't have any representation and i must send it to another country like France to change it , my question is : does Moto change it for free or do i have to pay for replacement?

If you send first it should be free unless they have a small handling fee. If they send first will put a hold on a credit card for the amount it is selling for now. Will remove charge when they receive the device.

There is no way to unlock the bootloader of a non-booting device that complains about allowing oem unlock.
Hey guys,
Not sure if I am going to be able to do anything about this. I signed up for the OTA beta program, device downloaded the OTA. When I got to the flashing stage it went to recovery and failed for some reason. Now I am unable to boot the device just gets stuck at Google splash screen. Cannot OEM unlock in fastboot because it was not enabled in developer options prior so flashing any images is out of the question. Is there any hope for me past this point or is the device bricked?

the OTA wiped your custom recovery and didn't load the ROM properly !??!?!?! Yikes....................if your phone has stock recovery and the bootloader is locked then it is bricked and you need to send it in.

This is even more unfortunate. You can use Android Pay with an unlocked bootloader. I've flashed my phone back to stock images with the bootloader unlocked and Android Pay works. It's not contingent on a locked bootloader, only factory stock images.

Count me in as one of the potentially many more that bricked his phone while trying out the Beta program via OTA...
sorry to tell you this , but with locked bootloader , your phone is hard bricked, no way to recover, only by sending it back to motorola or amazon if you bought from them. i sold about 100 pieces of nexus 6 to customers and my first advice to them is to check " Enable oem unlocking "
anyway email google and blame them for this and i am sure they will help
hi all,
Just having a thought (might not work but thought i'd ask)
Some OTA's / Firmwares which you can install from the bootloader have the ability to re-lock the device, would the same be possible for the other way around?
I mean i'm on a locked bootloader now cos of the crap i installed which updated me to 9.1, it relocked the bootloader, I can turn on OEM unlocking (FRP) but obviously it remains unlocked.
Would there be a way to repackage a firmware package so that it does the opposite to re-locking?
I think everyone has pretty much given up on Huawei devices, I was just trying to disable zRAM and i can't.
Any thoughts ? Is this a possible avenue? or is this simply not going to work?
I'd guess the latter but thought i'd ask.
Which firmware version relocked your bootloader? I can perhaps take a look at it in my free time.

Nope! DLOAD re-lock bootloader to factory condition, but there's no way to unlock the bootloader with it.
I don't think Huawei will give you the unlock code a second time, but maybe you will be lucky, who knows.
Maybe you can retrieve it from an email from them!?
Edit: You can download your HuaweiID data from Settings - > HuaweiID - > Privacy Center but i doubt you will get the bootloader code from there

No, and OnePlus seems to have no interest in updating its unlock token page since the 9 Pro. I have asked several times and no one in cust. service has any idea what's going on months after release of the NE2217.
I only bought the 10 Pro because I expected to be able to unlock the bootloader, as I did easily with the 8. At this point, I'm looking to sell the 10 Pro.
I upgraded from an unlocked 7 pro. I only got the T-Mobile version because they gave me too good of a deal to pass up. Honestly I'm pretty happy with it stock. There's not much you really need root for anymore unless you're developing. It was a big plus back in the day but not so much anymore.

Honestly if a service provider is going to tamper with the device, just don't bother with them.
I'm in the UK but the crap I've seen people have with T-Mobile and Verizon is just insane, avoid them like the plague.
I think you'd be better off converting a Chinese phone and that's something I'd avoid more than sleeping on the opposite side of the bed to amber heard.
Go global, unless theres a fool proof way to make it to global.
EE in the UK did this on the Sony z1, I ended up bricking my device, so I sent it back via a third party retailer.
Original - EE.
Retailer - carphone warehouse.
They sent me an unlocked version, with a normal bootloader.
Not sure if that's an option for you. A little convaluted but certainly worked for me.
