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.

Spend some time reading the materials in the Google Nexus 4 forum on XDA then you will be able to unlock the bootloader and correct your problem

To connect the phone to your computer you need drivers (search them on Google), then use fasboot for unlocking bootloader (you will found fastboot tool in Android sdk)
There many guides that explain in more details how to do this
you said you are a noob and you do not know how to unlock bootloader. Lets be honest since you are in a development forum and you know that your bootloader is locked then you should know there is obviously a way to unlock them. Search that my friend and dont spend your time posting here but looking for answers to your problem which there are plenty of them....Good Luck
all good now

Thanks guys I managed to unlock the boot loader with adb fastboot and then used the nexus toolkit to rest or 4.4 kk ..
I was afraid tbh and I was looking for a custom help guide just so I can follow.. But I managed and it made me look dumb and lazy.
Thanks guys

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
I'm on QAA and just rooted it. I'm guessing that the boot loader is still locked and nothing works. I've heard people say that the OEM unlock would unlock the boot loader but I don't believe that is the case.
Anybody??

Recover program? This phones bootloader is unfortunately still locked and will probably never get unlocked. Only root is achievable right now...
That's what I thought. I had read a thread here somewhere that they thought the OEM unlock unlocked the bootloader.

where?found it and share to us。
I called Sprint tech and they told me it was for security to keep someone else from returning your phone to stock settings. When I went to the boot loader the highlighted area seemed to bounce around between the options. Here's the link to the conversation.

Cant get to bootloader was the issue for rooting this phone. But now with the latest update you can oem unlock and then enable usb debugging. This is how you get to unlock the bootloader. Then its on from there. So, lets get some root on this thing guys.
Update please!!
So then what version ota is that they change it?
