Are you maybe trying to ask how to know if your bootloader is unlocked and you have custom recovery installed?
If your bootloader is unlocked, then when you turn the tablet on, at the point where Google logo appears, there's unlocked lock displayed on the bottom. You cannot miss it, sou if you don't see it asap, your bootloader is most probably locked.
Other then that, you can download Nexus Root Toolkit (search here on forum; its a PC program, not android app), and try to root. If you fail, your bootloader is locked.
And if you haven't been tinkering around with the bootloader, it's probably still locked.
Thank you.

I was wondering,
what does the bootloader display when you relock it using the fast boot lock command.
Does it say relocked or locked?
Thanks,

It just says locked, just done it with mine
So does that mean that you can restore to complete factory settings and get warranty back?

Yeah, returned mine a few days ago to Tesco UK.
I used Wug's rooting toolkit, but it's your choice what you use. It downloads and flashes the stock image for you, so there is no evidence of root.
Then you use to Lock OEM feature, to re lock the boot loader. They will never know that you unlocked it
Is it possible to re-lock and unlocked bootloader?
I know updating should get rid of an unlocked bootloader, but I still get the warning screen on bootup.
Reason I ask is because I had it unlocked, got an OTA update from Verizon for kitkat, and soft bricked my phone. Got stuck in a boot loop with the unlocked bootloader warning message.
I just flashed back to 4.0.4 using RDS Lite 6.1.4. Id like to reset the boot loader to locked before updating to kitkat again.
It's not possible to re-lock. I've updated to KK and can confirm that the BL is, in fact, still unlocked.
I have read somewhere that when you unlock the bootloader, it actually physically blows some kind of physical fuse. or maybe I miusread it.
Someone had made a special logo.img you can flash to get rid of that message.
Although if you really want a locked BL phone, I'd be more than happy to trade you.

Not that it helps, but in Australia, we do not get the nasty warning message after unlocking the bootloader. And I think that the phones are actually sold with an unlocked bootloader.

Hi Guys
I have 3 questions regarding Moto X Style Bootloader unlocking.
Can we unlock the Moto X Style bootloader after locking it after first unlock?
Can this process be repeated multiple times if we need to?
Can we use the same unique unlock key that we received while unlocking the bootloader for the first time?
Thank you
Why would you want to do this?

Yes you can do it as many times as you want but 1: Why would you relock afterwards 2: You will have to deal with a factory reset every time
PS: I dont know about the unlock key but most likely you can use the same
Is there any way to remove the Bootloader unlock warning ⚠ without relocking bootloader?

Theres no reason really to relock it. Once its unlocked, the bootloader will show that it was unlocked regardless if you relock it.

Thanks for your reply.
The reason for attempting to re-lock bootloader is to get the OTA update from Motorola till date, especially Reliance Jio VoLTE support...But if I wish to make any further changes to my phone with any custom rom I should be able to do it by unlocking the bootloader again.
Thanks

You don't have to lock the bootloader to take an OTA. You just need to be in a completely unmodified stock state: stock recovery, unmodified system, no root, etc. Bootloader can be unlocked.

I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and rooted. If I unroot and flash stock recovery, I will be able to get OTA? Do I need to take care of anything else?

That might work. Frankly I'm not sure. I haven't actually taken successfully an OTA on any phone since sometime in 2013 honestly.
I once flashed this phone totally back to stock. Every partition but logo, and it failed to take an OTA. I don't know if it failed because I had a modified logo, or maybe I had mounted system r/w. Not sure.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on this topic will chime in.

The answer is maybe... it depends what you have changed and what this OTA updater script actually checks for.
We know that a stock bootloader (which can be unlocked, that is not relevant), stock recovery, and stock system image are required to take an OTA. If the system image has been modified it can fail, and we know the updater has the ability to see if /system has EVER been mounted R/W and can fail for that condition although so far it doesn't seem Moto is going that extreme.
We do know a modified logo does not affect an OTA, in fact, you can even relock the bootloader with a modified logo so it must not be a significant check.

On my father's moto e lte I received OTA without issue with unlocked bootloader, I just flashed stock image and it was ready to update, btw I'm not sure but I've seen somewhere info that you can change bootlogo even with locked bootloader so I don't think that's the issue.
Btw after you once unlock bootloader you won't be able to truly lock it again, next time you will be able to unlock it without any code so you lose some security in this process, frp won't be working anymore.

You still need code to unlock each time, but it's the same code, and if you relock OEM Unlocking gets turned off and you would have to turn it on again... So if something fails on the first boot after relocking, your f*cked, no way to unlock.
And FRP definitely works if the bootloader is unlocked, it is just much easier to bypass.

Hey guys
Has anyone had warranty work done after unlocking your bootloader and relocking?
Half the attraction of this phone was the outstanding two year warranty. But I need my root access.
Thx

If you unlock the bootloader using the unofficial method, you could always relock the bootloader before sending it on warranty (depending on how broken it is)

Well that's what I'm assuming, but I don't know if there is some kind of permanent bit like uh Samsung Knox that can tell them it was unlocked at one point.

On a bootloader unlocked device, boot into the stock recovery, select the bootloader option.
Look at the last entry - device state. On a virgin phone it says locked. I'd expect it to say something else if the BL is unlocked. Further, does relocking bring it back to locked state, or something else. If something else, then it would seem they can check if the BL was unlocked.
I haven't had time to mess with mine, will be this weekend's project.

I Asked this in one of the other unlocking topics before.
When it's locked, it says "locked".
When it's unlocked, it says "unlocked".
When the bootloader has been re-locked, it says "locked" again.
Besides this and having submitted for the official bootloader unlock (when it was available), it's unknown if there's any other way that ZTE can tell if you are/have been bootloader unlocked.
^^Thanks.
Valid point. Could be some hidden fuses that get tripped - like what samsung uses.
Highly unlikely that they can tell with the unofficial method.

I'm not 100% sure but I think there is nothing like Knox in the Axon 7.
Okay so I went back to stock but Google Play still says my device is uncertified and I'm guessing it's the unlocked bootloader. Does anyone know how to lock the bootloader.? Also my bootloader says bad key when booting up.

If your playstore isn't certified it has nothing to do with your unlocked BL.
My device is unlocked and rooted with magisk and the playstore is certified.
Check the magisk general thread for that and use the search function.
And for unlocking there's a thread too:
