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
how i can to know ?
thank you.
you mean unlocked bootloader. youll know when you unlock it. first, it says unlocked in the bootloader. second, youll notice the unlocked padlock under the google logo when booting up.

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've searched and couldnt find info on this. I need to RMA my phone due to dead pixels and I want to ensure there's no issue with warranty.
How can I unroot and re-lock the bootloader?
Thanks in advance.
Flash the stock image. Check efrants sticky.
After its flashed type the command: fastboot oem lock

I'll try it tonight, thanks for the response.
The toolkits available in development have options in them to reverse everything. I used mskips toolkit to unlock mine and root it, takes all the guess work out of it.

i am about to buy a used nexus 4 which is unlocked. I would like to ask if when locking it back (in case of rma) it says locked in the bootloader or it follows HTC policy showing "relocked". Thanx in advance.

It says "LOCKED". I checked it just now.
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.

You're right sorry
Is there any possible way to re-lock my bootloader and get back the warranty of my device?
Some buddy posted in my Kernel's thread that you should be able to do:
fastboot reboot oem-lock
But idk if this has some kind of sense and after unlocking BL your device is marked as non-appliable for warranty in Moto's database.
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G4 Play/
Go to here and find right for your moto g4 play edition. And flash.

Don't, after unlock you lose the warranty, if you re-lock after, the bootloader status don't go back to when you buyed the device (In the same way it says unlocked in the bootloader, it also says that it has been relocked), so it's useless.
And like facuarmo said:

Yeah, you can't get your warranty back once you've unlocked the boot loader. The fastboot command mentioned above can be used to re-lock your boot loader but that won't bring back warranty of your device.
