[Q] Strange thing happened ! (Dev- XT1068 Indian)

I relocked the bootloader but when i did , I got an error saying 'too many strings' or something
However, I restarted phone in bootloader and saw the status code (It was 2-bootloader status:Locked)
However i gave a 'oem lock' command again.
I get status 2-bootloader status:Locked, after relocking. (well thats ok) but i still see the bootloader unlocked warning.
I could Still flash the warning remover 'logo.bin' file
Now Im confused about whats happening! If my bootloader was locked then how could I get that warning? Rather , How could I ever flash a logo.bin file on my device?

It's no problem to unlock the device again. Just use the same code you received via email.
The bootloader-warning stays because even a relock does not restore warranty.
There's absolutely no reason to relock the device. As long as you are fully unrooted you will be able to install OTA even with unlocked bootloader.

You have to be unlocked for this. And just keep it unlocked. As I said, there's no point in relocking.

Relock bootloader

Hello,
Some way how to relock bootloader please?
Thank you so much.

In Fastboot the command:
fastboot oem relock UNLOCKCODE
Replace UNLOCKCODE with your unlock code you got from Huawei.

Does this result in a low-level-reset similar to the unlock-procedure?

I'm really not sure but I mean my P10 didn't format when I did the relock, but I really don't know anymore.

If I try this method to relock it again, will I be able to unlock it again?
I want to tray this, because my OEM unlock option is now greyed out and I can´t flash anything, not even the custom recovery.

Does relock wipe the data and factory resets the phone? I just unbricked mine today from soft-bricked and never want to experience that again, back on stock and want to relock the bootloader just to get the android pay and bank apps working but would like to avoid wipe if possible

Yes, relocking the bootloader will end up with a low-level factory reset (same as unlocking).

HWOTA update method final locked your bootloader and status "locked" not relocked, and no low level format, your data pic, video, download, music no delete!

Ok, good to know.
I just tried the oem relock.

Hey all, i did the "fastboot oem relock" followed by my unlock code i got from the Huawei website but after i hit enter it gave me:
FAILED (remote: root type is risk)
finished. total time: 0.016s
could anyone tell me why this has happened?
I have a vtr-l09. Thanks

How to Re-Lock Bootloader on Moto E4+ XT1770???

MOTO All-In-one Tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/motorola-moto-one-tool-v1-0-t3397159

Try the steps listed here: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/relock-bootloader-fastboot-android/
NOTE: You may lose all data. It also may be disabled once you have unlocked. You may not be able to get your warranty back.

Error
I have used your fastboot adb trick for relock my device but unfortunately it shows
Lock failed - Err:0x fffffffffe

That is unfortunately about what I expected. When you unlock your bootloader, you void your warranty. That is why I wrote "It also may be disabled once you have unlocked. You may not be able to get your warranty back."

I'm ussing XT1771 and still can't relock the boot loader i tried a lot of things gamn xD

Unlocking bootloader: definitive bye-bye to automatic updates?

With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?

My bootloader is also unlocked and I dont have any problems with receiving and installing OTAs I also have Magisk and EdExposed installed - no problems at all.

Phew! I'm glad I'll be able to install OTAs. Have you tried flashing it manually or via RSD Lite? Here it won't flash.

yes.
What instruction did you use to unlock the bootloader?
What region is your device manufactured for?
Does your PC see your device connected to the fastboot mod?
What does this command give you:
Code:
fastboot devices
If the device is detected, enter the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And copy the result here.

Hey all,
I have the Moto One Zoom running on Android 9.
Also, It's Rooted with Magisk and have Riru EdXposed installed, can I install my OTA updates without bootloop or do I have to Uninstall Magisk, relock bootloader and factory reset/flash stock firmware to get latest OTA updates?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

Question Relock Zenfone8

Hi, i need to relock my Zenfone 8. Right now it's running newest Beta, but everything is fully operational. Do you have any idea, how to relock?
fastboot oem lock is not working
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk also nothing
Both are giving:
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
Thanks.

As far as I know, once unlocked, it is not possible no relock again.

Asus says it's can't be relocked. At least it was reply to me from their support.

I relocked mine but you cannot restore OTAs since your IMEI is permanently blacklisted with Asus.

I don't think that it'll help you to fool ASUS service center. imei is blacklisted for OTA updates and i'm pretty sure that S/N too.
See no reason for that...

Hi again. One guy tried this and locked his BL (with followed factory reset).
He has Android 12 (beta 2 I think) and experienced some problems with phone auto-reboot when interent/sim card is active. If SIM is removed then he can use his ZF8.
Do you have same behavior or everything is ok for you?

After re-locking I also went back to Android 12 beta 2. I have not had any SIM or reboot issues AND my ramdump error has not re-appeared.

That person replied that those reboots were fixed by re-enabling some previously disabled apps through ADB command. It looks like too many apps were disabled.
It's interesting, will you have any OTA-updates in future or your S/N / IMEI still in blacklist for OTA's ?

No OTA; S/N is blacklisted :-( It's fine. You just download the update to storage and the phone will see it and do the update.
