For now, that is correct.

[Q] Can you be rooted and have a locked bootloader

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...

HI DID IT WORK?im usin lg g4 T-Mobile h811 version and i want to unlock my bootloader ! can someone please help me

Can I install an update without having the bootloader unlocked?

So I am the prime v6. 5 rom. I have twrp, I'm rooted and I have xposed. Would installing the 6.6 update brick the phone? I just don't have the bootloader unlocked. Any help is appreciated!

I thought you had to have an unlocked bootloader in order to install TWRP and root. Are you sure your bootloader is locked?

I got twrp and root without unlocking the bootloader.
I ended up doing that later by running rootjunky's script. It will wipe your data. So you would know if your bootloader was unlocked. If you look on his thread, he has a way for you to check.
Of course this all assumes you aren't on 6.6.
