Firstly if this is already mentioned somewhere I apologize and moderator please delete this thread. I was on 5.0.2 lollipop and had my boot loader unlocked with root and I just got back my stock recovery and I'm also on the official marshmallow through ASUS but I'm wanting to know if I'm still unlocked and how if possible I can re-root my phone? Thanks in advance
@corybucher
Bootloader should be unlocked.
To confirm it you can run this command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Output should be 'device unlocked: true'. If not then you know how to unlock it.

Is there anyway to check this from the phone itself?

I think no. Fastboot is only option.

Topic says it. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader and root the original 4.4.2?
I just need the commands from the fastboot panel. This roottoolkit in the development section want to download a whole new nakasi image and I think that this cannot be exept it wants to install crapware on it.

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"

Have you unlocked the bootloader first?

yes it is already unlocked previously. i just did a new clean wipe for the phone and flashed the mtc19x factory image
Try this:
fastboot oem device-info
It will confirm if it is unlocked...
Also try to boot twrp by:
fastboot boot recovery_name.img
Both commands will confirm the same.
I'm holding off twrp + bootloader unlock because I want to be able to undo in case I need to use my warranty. Is twrp/bootloader unlock reversible? Many thanks
Yes. Flash complete stock everything, boot into bootloader, connect to PC, and "fastboot oem lock".
Is it sure that it works??I have a A2017G and i have open BL and a B29 Custom Rom and i want back to Lock Bootloader

Yup! I've done it plenty of times. You do need to format the data partition though. This could mean that it'll wipe out even your internal storage, so back that up as well!
Im on stock and then i go to edl and then i type fastboot oem lock but nothing happend

Boot into bootloader, not EDL.

and you can unlock it again afterwards?
Never heard of anyone wanting to lock the bootloader so I'd a newb in this kind of thing.

Locking it again is good for when you want to sell the device or send it in for warranty repair.

Yeah, the unlock procedure is the same as before. If you didn't restore the original boot image before the relock, then it's just a matter of booting into fastboot and unlocking the device. Note that this will cause your data to be wiped as well!
If you restore your boot.bin backup file from when your device was locked, does this lock the bootloader? "fastboot oem lock", "fastboot flashing lock" nor "fastboot oem device-info" does nothing for me. Is there any other way to check if your bootloader has been relocked?
Thanks

Hi there,
Were you ever able to re-lock your bootloader on your A2017G?
I just want root for now but understand that I'll need to unlock the bootloader first. Before doing that, I want to make sure I can re-lock the bootloader if needed.
Thanks for letting us know!

Guys/Gals, it is seriously as simple as using the fastboot command in reverse. I've done it a few times already with mine.
If you used the following to unlock....
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
.....then you can use the following commands to relock
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock
fastboot devices is not necessary, but I do it to make sure the devices is being recognized by ADB/FASTBOOT

Thanks for the answer.
But there are a few files to flash before using that command according to this thread.
Doesn't anything need to be flashed again (e. g. stock files or anything)?
Correct, but you would have already flashed those in order to use the unlock command in the first place.
Are you trying to relock on marshmallow or nougat?

My phone is only a few days old. I'm debating whether to keep it or not (considering the Mate 9, but the price is not the same - love the form factor and bigger screen though - sound won't be the same and I think I'll miss the MiPop button on the Axon (never thought that would happen )).
I'm on the latest MM (B10 - the A2017G model).
Following the mentioned thread, I got to the point of installing TWRP (the signed version), only to realize that besides making backups, there is not much else I can do with that without unlocking the bootloader. I really just wanted to flash supersu and install adaway fro the time being until development matured for this phone (maybe also play around with viper - had great results on my LG G4).
HI, I get the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" in ADB when I enter "fastboot oem lock". Any way to fix this?
Guys, can anyone help me? I really need to lock the bootloader!
How can I fix the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" in ADB when I enter "fastboot oem lock"?
I'm on MM B11 Stock.

Hi Guys,
The Axon 7 Model A2017U I just purchased has the bootloader locked and it is running LineageOS 14.1 - 2018032-Nightly-axon7. I need to relock the bootloader and get back to the stock MiFavor rom so that I can send the phone to ZTE for repair. Can you please explain to a newb in some detail how to achieve that.
Thank you.
Is there any way to do this? Don't want the amazon bloat on my device. Or if possible is there a list of amazon bloat to remove with a script or something?
You can unlock bootloader and flash stock unlocked firmware

From a G7 Play thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79684645&postcount=5
* first reflash the 'boot.img' from the correct firmware file - 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (in the Internet there are official images to the smartphone)
* then you can lock the bootloader again with 'fastboot oem lock'.
"bad key" is gone, SafetyNet test passed and OTA is working again.
