[Q] Root with locked bootloader

Hello xda,
so I killed my EFS Partition on my last Moto X and had to send it in. That cost me 100€ but I got a new phone, with a locked bootloader. I confirmed this with 2 Motorola Chat Supports, but if you unlock your bootloader, they wont honor their warranty, even if its a hardware problem that was there from the beginning. So I'm kind of scared to unlock the bootloader again, but I really want root. Is there any way to root without unlocking? Thanks in advance !

Re-lock bootloader

Hi,
Some time ago I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device. Didn't know it was possible to root without unlocking the bootloader (yes, i'm quite new to rooting etc.). Now my phone has a defective headphone-jack and I need to send it on repair. Anyone know how to re-lock the bootloader so I still have the warranty?
Currently running sLIM 4.8 by Wajk.

Use flashtool

Thanks, but it says on Sony's website that the phone stays unlocked even after using flash tool?

Code:
fastboot oem lock
Never done it in Sony phone but most of HTC, Nexus and few other brands I'm locking just with this command.

Unlock bootloader again!

Hi,
I need advise. Bought mi8 from banggood with unlocked bootloader, but want to unlock again from my account, just in case of brick.
Is there a way to send request for unlock while bootloader is unlocked? If I install china rom and relock bootloader, root will disappear and my national language won't be set up.
The problem is because we have to wait a month for unlock permission...

I think, you don't need to relock bootloader. If you want to unlock again (with your account), you will wait 1 month for permission from Xiaomi.

Bootloader Unlock Code Questions

Is there any simple and fast way to get a Bootloader Unlock Code?
I already spent a bunch of money on the Phone and only found some quite untrustable shops i can actually buy unlock codes?!
What is this? Why not just some open Bootloader policy like other brands or an unlock program like xiaomi has?
I just want to root my Phone to get some extra functionality like Titanium Backup, i always used it to port my Apps and Data to a new phone..
best regards

Bootloader codes are not available at any cost right now. The sites you've found will not be able to provide you a code, they will only take your money.

So basically there is no way at all to get rid of the bootloader lock and root this phone, right?
Gnah, that means i'm forced to use this phone without my settings, app(data) and root.
Is this the same reason why there are still no custom roms? Is there any hope for custom roms?

I doubt there's gonna be any custom roms.
