If it says bootloader unlock allowed: no, then fastboot is missing from your phone which is necessary to unlock the bootloader. So yes, you cannot do that if that's the case.

Yes it says bootloader unlock allowed: no, then there is not way to change the status of bootloader for yes.[emoji22]

Fastboot is always there... Even on carrier locked devices you can even flash a custom kernel if you want but it just won't boot you can also install a ROM for locked bootloader

Seriously?? Then might be we can find a solution somehow using custom kernels? But I have tried for hours I could never get into FASTBOOT mode. It went into FLASHTOOL(green light) mode but never into FASTBOOT mode. I inferred, FASTBOOT is missing from the device. I think it is missing.
I have a Nexus 6 that came rooted and with busybox.
how do I know if the bootloader has been unlocked?
You can't root it without unlocking the boot loader, so if its rooted then that's all the evidence you need

Also, as soon as you turn on the phone, the black screen with the white Google logo comes up, on the bottom of the screen should show and unlocked padlock. That also means your bootloader is unlocked.
do you see an open padlock on the bottom of the screen while booting? then it's unlocked. also, you can boot into the bootloader, itll say unlocked. but if you already havd root, its probably unlocked, or he relocked it. if you have root, you can use an app to re unlock it.

you are right, I see the padlock unlocked and the word "unlocked" on the bootloader screen.
thanks.
I'm coming from a Samsung device and have no idea how to flash roms on a Motorola device.
any suggestions you can give me?

I suggest you start with this, to learn adb fastboot and flashing.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
If you run into the missing system.img problem here is the link to fix it:

Last question : is there anyway to change the icons colors and shape on the notification bar like wifi, signal etc?
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...

NOOO!!!!
To many folks have encountered an issue that soft-bricked their device afterwards.
You will still receive OTA with an unlocked bootloader.

you can relock it (safer) but if you want to flash any new rom later you will loose all your data. cause everytime you flash you need to unlock the bootloader. its up to you

Hang on now, lets be clear about the advice that we're giving here.
Yes, a locked bootloader is safer if a thief were to get his hands on your device. However, locking the bootloader has a whole host of other problems linked to it. For example, if you end up in a boot loop with a locked bootloader because something breaks in the rom or kernel, if you have stock recovery, you can never unlock the bootloader again, without sending it for repair.
I would suggest people using experimental ROMs should keep their bootloader unlcoked to avoid this

If I did lock the boot loader, can it not be unlocked again using NRT ? I'm wondering since this (Android M) is an official release from Google, there should be a way to unlock the Boot loader if someone wants to roll back to lollipop ... Am I wrong in this assumption ?

It's a security feature whereby if you do not have "enable OEM unlocking" set in the rom, you cannot unlock the bootloader. If you don't have it set, have stock recovery then have a rom that will not boot, you cannot set that, ergo cannot unlock the bootloader. If you're going to mess with exxperiemental previews, I would suggest not re-locking the bootloader.

I just checked and the 'OEM unlocking' option is turned on under Dev Options.
So, can I unlock the bootloader and flash back to 5.1.1 ?

Hi abhay, great work. I unlocked BL and installed aicp, but in the Lenovo help app it's showing the phone is still in warranty. So if I relock it somehow and use this boot logo, can I avail that warranty if something happens?

When a device with unlocked bootloader boots up, It shows a unlocked sign under the Lenovo logo.
Maybe that way people from the service center make out if a device has been unlocked and whether it still avails the warranty

I too has that doubt....how can you relock again. Normal fastboot don't allow that.
I think if you can relock, you get warranty bcz people there check bill, imei and bootloader lock or unlock status.
It's not like 15 day timer break warranty. Warranty is broken only when carryin support see unlocked logo and status on boot screen.
One can say Carryin support is dumb to differentiate relocked and locked.
If they say database shows its not under warranty, you have bill and bootloader locked status, you can say it's Lenovo server side error and have authority to file a complaint on Lenovo. So timer has nothing to do.
