Is bootloader locked?

I bought the Kenya version from Jumia. Is the bootloader locked? Is there anyway I can tell if its locked or not?
Also, if its unlocked, can I flash a custom recovery then root thru it?
Thanks!

It is locked, and there i a bug in which you cannot unlock it with the
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
command
Their is a method to install custom recovery, please see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/hot-2/development/android-one-rom-recovery-twrp-root-sp-t3227682

I bought mine from Jumia (Kenya) and after having hard time trying to unlock the bootloader, I switched to official infinix 5.1 & I flashed custom recovery, rooted

Don't know??? Never try to relock it...so you have to flash stock rom and your BL will be automatically locked...

As far as I know if you are running a custom boot image you won't be able to relock the bootloader on nougat. It's a feature to prevent you soft-bricking your phone, because if you lock it and it detects unauthorised firmware it will refuse to boot.
To relock nougat, simply use the dload method to get a completely stock device and you will see that the bootloader is now relocked.

can i flash latest stable rom via fastboot and set relock ? I read a lot about bricked devices during locking again

If you're device it's a china version china rom with locked bootloader if it's a global version device global rom with locked bootloader.
China version->China rom locked bootloader ok!
Global version->Global rom locked bootloader ok! /Unlocked bootloader=ok!
China version->Global rom locked bootloader =brick! / Unlocked bootloader=ok!
Global version->China rom locked bootloader=brick!

Unlock bootloader on Pie?

Hello everyone,
I see that there isn't a way to unlock bootloader in Pie. The only way is to rollback to Oreo and will be unlocked by cmd commands or is there another way?
After that can I go back to Pie with bootloader unlocked or no?

Yes, you can update OTA to pie afterwards.

About OTA updates after unlocking and re-locking bootloader

So I unlocked my bootloader a week ago in order to root my Samsung galaxy M21 Android 11 One UI 3.1, but since the steps were unclear and I was kinda scared I just ditched the idea of rooting. So I searched on Reddit and etc, once you unlock bootloader whether you get OTA updates. There were mixed answers, but then I found a thread saying that I could re-lock the bootloader so I went with the tutorial and re-locked it!!! My question is once you unlock and then lock the bootloader again will you get OTA updates or not???

Yup, you should get OTA updates if you flashed stock rom and relocked your bootloader

I actually unlocked the bootloader on my Mi 10T Pro 5G and then after a few weeks I decided to re-lock it. I installed the stock fastboot ROM and the locked the bootloader with the "fastboot oem lock" command. Will I still receive OTA updates? Thanks!
