I was wondering after rooting your device, is there a way we can UnVoid the warranty and re initiate the 'locked' status?
Yes, it's very easy to do. Just follow the directions in the "Relocking Bootloader" thread in Development.
P.S. If you had simply searched, you'd know the answer to this as it's been discussed ad nauseum.

Send your phone back to HTC for an unrelated issue. Seems there's a good chance it'll return with the bootloader locked.

any other way? such as a software method?
No. Only HTC can do it at the moment.
Here's how it should work in theory! LOL
fastboot-windows oem undo unlock HTC @#$$%%
*I want my freaken warranty back*
Actually with S-OFF 'fastboot OEM lock' would do it.
You just can't get S-OFF on a retail phone (yet).

They gave you back your warranty, how nice of them
At least we now know there is a way to relock the phone, no?

It is possible to lock the bootloader, but you have to be working at HTC to do it.

I reckon they have some sort of flashing box that just obliterates everything and replaces it with official software.
dont they just have to flash back the original spl, which we dont have?

Unless someone can get that, no luck. Though it's probably a good thing that we can't relock the bootloaders.
i wanna make it as the factory rom. can i do that?
Nope, pretty much we are stuck with root (i've been trying to find a solution as well)
same question, different day...
You can unroot it and restore back to stock rom, but your bootloader will remain unlocked. There is no way to re-lock the bootloader as of yet.

Follow this thread and it should put you back to stock excluding the bootloader.

Why don't you just do it? If your N1 ever has a hardware issue, HTC is repairing them, bootloader locked or not.
Hey guys i need some advice/help.
I returned my phone because of some screen issues and when it came back i noticed something strange, before returning my phone i already had unlocked my bootloader so i wanted to check if this still was the case. So i booted in to the bootloader screen and noticed the the device status had changed to an engineering device (see picture).
So now the questions what can i do with a engineering device or what does it mean, is my bootloader still unlocked or do i need to unlock it again or will unlocking it again remove the engineering status.
Christ! Engineering Bootloader haha...
What happens when you do OEM Unlock?

I wouldn't do that. This might change the status from Engineering to Unlocked and he might never be able to change it back to Engineering again.
I think this is a status that is reserved for servicing the phone and allows engineers to do all sorts of things to the phone, even more than what can be done when Unlocked.
I hope some dev can shed some light on this.
The Holy F-ing Grail!!!! LOL

Hi guys i have a "motorola confidencial property" phone with the same problem,can you help me to update android? the OS have some bugs,thanks in advance from Argentina
What's the problem? Op said he was able to flash recovery.
Guessing when they were working on it they forgot to relock it for customer status. Someone might pay you good money for that device.

I dont want to unlock bootloader yet. So i wanted to root the device safely without flashing anything.
You simply can't flash any zips unless on a custom recovery and for that you have to unlock bootloader.
BTW the first thing i did upon getting my op5 was to unlock the bootloader.
"Root without flashing anything."

You're more likely to brick your phone using a janky and sketchy no-unlocking method than using the documented and manufacturer-recommended method.

Rooting touches your device just as much. Unlocking the bootloader is like using the key to open a door to get into a building. Trying to do it without unlocking is like using a sledgehammer to break in through the door.

You can just lock the bootloader again and noone would know you'd unlocked it. One Plus isn't like Samsung!

Yes but one-click root apps are very unreliable in general and most don`t even work nowadays (especialy system less root). Unlocking the bootloader and flashing Magisk or superSU with TWRP is the best and safest method atm.

Sorry, quoted the wrong user meant the post of @xabierd
Mate, if you don't want to replace your recovery with TWRP, go to fastboot, make sure you have your phone discoverable and use the command "fastboot boot recovery.zip" - recovery.zip being TWRP. This will just boot into TWRP where you can flash magisk or supersu. This won't replace your stock recovery.
You will still need to unlock your bootloader however...
Thanks for taking time to read my query.
I was wondering if I've to lock boot-loader after rooting ( I just rooted my Oero)
and before looking can I take everything backup on titanium backup and then restore everything after locking ?
I'm I still be rooted?

Unless you are on the totally stock system then I wouldn't lock your bootloader.

Technically i believe you could and would still be rooted, but I've always seen it advised NOT to lock your bootloader again until you are on 100% stock (right now your boot.img isn't stock since it's patched for root).

So you mean I would not be able to re-lock bootloader even if I had installed Nougat, isn't it?
thats because we are using tampered boot.img. Is it possible in-future we can use original boot.img ?

If you relock your bootloader with anything other than a factory image you will brick your device.

If you modify your device, bottom line, you should leave it unlocked so you can fix things or go back to stock if needed, otherwise you could turn it into a paper weight. Even if root is done without modifying the boot.img, I would still keep it unlocked as there are usually still system changes.

This.
With a modified system or other partition, you risk a brick.
If anything goes wrong, once the bootloader is locked you can't fix it.

Lol you are in the wrong thread genius. I don't know who "he" is but assume you are referring to the OP and in that case "He" doesn't need to mention anything about any specific phone because he is already posting in the right place. The question you asked about your k-whatever phone will most certainly be different for every phone. Good luck and who knows maybe a forum moderator can help you?

MOD EDIT
It's worth noting that the Essential PH-1 uses an A/B partition system so any advice given here would not be helpful in the slightest for devices that don't have the same file system. Quickly doing a search of your phone reveals it's not an A/B partitioned system so following advice here could potentially lead to you actually destroying your phone.
could you lock the BL once rooted if in fastboot mode it lists device tampering = false?
