It's not clear for me.
Unlocking bootloader on a p8lite will erase automatically all data on the phone ?
Thanks and Regards.
Unlocking bootloader wipes nothing, it just unlocks the bootloader
But it seems that for security reasons boot loader starts data wipe on unlock.
It never wiped anything on my phone when unlocked it but if you want to be sure that it will not wipe your data just flash TWRP directly after unlocking bootloader and before reboot

Wiping the XZ always lasts so long and the factory reset? Or because the boot loader is closed?

on a locked bootloader cwm will always take its time to wipe also there is a know fault on locked that you shouldnt factory it due to it has a problem mounting cache and the fails and skips
With an unlocked BL is faster and safer?

My question is when i unlock bootloader on my c6903 can i restore my data partition ? Beacause i have XZ dual recovery
Backup data first on your PC or sd-card before unlocking bootloader. But be aware that if you unlock bootloader you cant retrive data from PC-Companion.
is the procedure for flashing coustom rom is right!?
First i turn on the oem option then unlock the bootloader then it will dlt the user data and will boot to stock then again i will turn on the oem option then flash twrp then will wipe user data by twrp then will flash descendant rom using fastboot and then reboot amd will flash gapps

Yup that should work. Do remember that you can only enable oem unlocking if you sign into a google account during the setup(afer unlocking bootloader).
Also if you encounter an 'Error 7' of some sort when you flash Gapps(rare), boot to the rom without flashing Gapps. Then after the bootup, reboot to twrp and wipe data again.
Then flash gapps, it should work now.

I've a K20 Pro china version and it's running the china firmware. The device was unlocked a couple years ago for the purpose of rooting it. I've just flash the latest China firmware with "Flash all except storage", so as to unroot and keep my data partition intact. Now, I'll like to re-lock the bootloader. I know I can use Mi-Flash to reflash the China firmware with "Clean all & Lock" option, but this will also wipe the data partition. Is it possible to just re-lock the bootloader without wiping data? Can I use the command "fastboot oem lock" to re-lock? Will this command leave my data partition intact, or will I brick my phone? Any help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately, no. Relocking the bootloader would wipe your phone.
You can backup data or smth and restore after it.
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. Well, I guess I will have to go through the whole backup & restore process.
