Like on the Nexus One, I would like to know if there is a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader. I have apps on my phone that I cant currently have wiped, so therefore cant unlock the bootloader. However if i can root, I can backup that specific app, and then unlock the bootloader, install roms etc, and then restore my app. Any help would be great, thanks.

He cant do a full wipe though is what he is saying
Bite the bullet and redo all your apps.
I cant bite the bullet, as the app has data that has to be remotely pushed to my phone and the people who do that are away for Christmas, Is there no way at all to root without unlocking the bootloader.
Hello Guys
I have a question how to look bootloader?
Because maybe if i want to sell this phone or send to service i must have locked bootloader because they are checking if the bootloader is locked or not...
i think you need a locking code, have to ask huawei for that
then use the adb command to lock bootloader
+1
if find please post!
i found something
type this "fastboot oem relock YOUR CODE"
where YOUR CODE its the unlocking code provided by huawei
try and comment
anyways, the phone will say "relocked" not "locked" as factory locked.
Confusion?

Assuming you already have your code...
adb reboot bootloader
then when it's at the bootloader and it mentions "phone unlocked"
fastboot oem lock
The lock and relock confusion ... was this ever tested with the relock command? Is there a difference?
I tried to lock back the phone with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Phone got restarted into bootloader directly, without locking it. I read about this around the net, and found that the system may have to be unrooted in order to get the above command working.
I think, when you unlock your bootloader you never can how back.
once unlocked, always unlocked.
that is why they say you lose all warranty when you unlock your phone.
By the way, I tried to do the relocking with the TWRP Recovery installed. Maybe after reflashing a stock ROM, and flashing the stock recovery back, it'll work.
Does this work for anyone? Really need to lock my bootloader again and it's not working.

I think if you install a update.app of your stock firmware the bootloader will be locked..This may be work though I didn't check it yet.

Sadly not. Then bootloader is still unlocked.
As far as I know there's no way to relock the bootloader after unlocking it. By default it should allow such an operation, but looks like our fastboot framework was modified in this way.
works

For unlock your bootloader
The command is :
"Fastboot oem unlock *********"
For relock it
The command is
"fastboot oem relock **********"
The stars was your unlock/lock code from Huawei.
It's the only way, other's command was wrong.
Install update don't relock your bootloader and you can update with your bootloader unlock.
It's only necessary to relock it in case of warranty.
Having his bootloader unlock is a great help when you have bad trouble like brick or softbrick.
Also you have to know exactly what you are making on your device's. And you are the only one to blame for the modifications you make on your device's
Lock the bootloader with DCUnlocker... it'll lock the bootloader without the 'relocked' on the screen.

No...Not Will Be Locked
For relock it, you have to use your unlock code too.
In fastboot type
fastboot oem relock ************
(the stars is your unlock code)
And now your bootloader become green and locked.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
And now your bootloader (maybe, i don't know for sure) become green and RE-locked.
If you use DC-unlocker it only reads "locked"

We are talking about warranty, i think that huawei doesn't use DC-unlocker!
Hi XDA!
I recently unlocked my phone's bootloader to install an update for my p8lite and I want to lock it back. There is an option called relocking the bootloader and I want to know whether it is the same as locking the bootloader. Also will the ability to flash ROMs through fastboot lose after i relock it?
Thanks
Yes, it is the same, and yes, you will lose the fastboot flash ability. However, the fastboot screen won't show "Locked", it will show "Relocked"
So I unlocked the bootloader through Moto's site. Now I want to relock the bootloader. I went through Moto's instructions and flashed the files for the X1625, however when I go to fastboot oem lock, it just says flash valid android system. It will boot up and run correctly, but it still gives the warning message and will not go back to "locked" status.
Thanks for any help
I recently saw that OEM unlocking toggle is working. I unlocked my bootloader long ago. I'm on stock Oreo right now and I didn't "RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER" but it shows to me as if it was relocked. Is it possible? I already have magisk installed. Dunno what to do. Any suggestions?
The OEM unlock toggle in Developer Settings means nothing once you have unlocked the bootloader. Make sure it is enabled and check the bootloader manually... To my knowledge it is impossible to relock the bootloader without a signed image.
