[Q] Bootloader *** UNLOCKED *** / *** RELOCKED *** / *** LOCKED *** - HTC Wildfire S

Hi,
I just woundring if after unlock bootloader with HTCDEV is it possible to back to factory state with *** LOCKED *** status of bootloader again.
I think that it's not possible, but many times I read here on XDA it coud be done.
I know that it's a tool to lock bootloader from CWM - but if we LOCKED bootloader from CWM after that we can't reflash bootloader to oryginal HTC ( becuse it's LOCKED ).
If we first reflash bootloader to stock ( by fastboot) one we can't use this tool.
So the last way to lock bootloader is to RELOCK it afrer flash ROM --> BOOTLOADER --> USB FASTBOOT, and after that we have factory state phone, but the status of bootloader is RELOCKED.
Am I Right ? There is no another way to LOCK bootloader after unlocking to use OTA ?
I'm just curious.

If your wanting to relock the bootloader I would flash to a stock Rom using fastboot and relock after that.

No no no... I know that I Can flash stock rom + stock recovery and after that relock bootloader with fasboot.
But after that bootloader show to us as RELOCKED.
My question is - Is it possible to do this an get LOCKED status of bootloader again ?

OK it is possible
I just do this on my phone...
BLTOOL in recovery --> option 4 SUPERVERSION--> make goldcard --> on goldcard inster lastest ROM.zip from RUU ( temp from windows ) reboot --> and we have stock rom with stock recovery and ***LOCKED*** status.

What locking tool you using? That seems long to get locked status.
I know this is not a phone but I locked a bootloader today on a Nexus 7 by using the same shell I unlocked it with.
I might be getting my wires crossed sorry if I am. Glad you got it sorted though.

by the shell on WFS You can lock bootloader using the same metod like before to unlock of course , but when you do this the bootloader status will be **RELOCKED** not **LOCKED**, so of course RUU and OTA update will works fine but Warranty is lost.
If you lock bootloader with this tool ( superversion option ) phone status will be **LOCKED** and you be able to flash stock ROM and stock bootloader.

Your bootloader did relock, the yes is telling you that your bootloader CAN be unlocked, this is normal. As for the nandroid error, it failed because you cannot rewrite the boot image after you have relocked. This is fixable though don't worry, just flash stock firmware using flashtool
How do i know
How do i know is my bootloader is locked or unlocked coz member in here said like this Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked.
So base on it mean my bootloader is still unlocked, But u said is locked? so can some one tell me how to double cross check my bootloader is locked or unlock

Xyge my phone posisiton is stuck on Sony logo and i'm will flash the official rom using flashtool so it's mean my kernel will be stock one. So should i try to flash again the kernel or try other thing?
you cant update your phone to pc companion when your phone is unlocked.
Sorry, I don't understand what it is you want to accomplish here. Do you want to just fix your phone and re-lock your bootloader?

Open flashtool and connect your phone in flash mode. On the screen look for "bootloader status:" or somethings similar. If your bootloader is locked it will say ROOTABLE or if your bootloader is unlocked it will say ROOTED.
If your bootloader is unlocked you cannot update from Sony PC direct and if you phone is locked Sony will allow you to update the phone

Actually thats not right. If you relocked the bootloader it will go back to Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes and not stay at Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
When you try flashing that bootloader relock in flashtool what happens? I have used it many times with my LT26i with no issues. Can you past the log from flashtool when you try to flash it?

How to lock bootloader and sim for warranty?

I need to simlock adn bootloader lock my phone for warranty,is there a tutorial how to do this?
I don't think SIM lock is required for warranty.
Give us a little bit more info, do you have a custom recovery installed? Custom Rom? If not and the only thing you have to do is lock the bootloader then the command is
Fastboot oem lock
Note: don't do this with a custom Rom or custom recovery it will result in a bootloop. For completely stock you need
Stock rom
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery.img
Locked or relocked (warranty)

Are you take the code from them or you take the code from some website? You can't lock the sim but you can try to send the phone with sim unloked and hope they will not see this. And something else Vodafone not repear OneX they send the phone to some other service I think!

[Q] bootloader unlock = yes and bootloader unlock allowed = yes are same?

so it is the same things or bootloader unlock = yes means your BL is unlocked.
and bootloader unlock allowed = yes mean you can unlock your bootloader.
im confused and i tried to unlock my bootloader, all data get wiped but i don't know whether its unlocked or not?
in service menu bootloader status show bootloader unlock = yes.
i also checked on my friends xperia ray, on his mobile it showing bootloader unlock allowed = yes.
It's pretty literal, except there's a bit of wrong grammar...
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes - This means the bootloader is not unlocked but you are allowed to unlock the bootloader.
Bootloader unlock: Yes - This means the bootloader is unlocked.
Bootloader unlock allowed: No - This means the bootloader is not unlocked and you cannot unlock the bootloader.

and can i install CM11 with you cwm recovery? - No! For CM flash the boot.img from the CM Zip.(boot.img is the CM kernel + CWM recovery)
then how can i extract boot image- Download boot image,start Flashtool,click on the flashlight and select Fastbootmod.Shutdown your phone,press and hold Vol+ key and connect usb cable to your phone(led light will turn blue light).Now from flashtool chose "Select kernel to flash" and flash boot.img fille who you want.

it is not possible to relock the bootloader, from Fastboot directly ... The device will be corrupted later. To relock the bootloader, use the restore tool which will return the phone to its factory configuration ... Under ROM 10.0.7 .. The bootloader will be relock ... and all the data on the phone will be erased. It's the only way.

I tried re-locking the bootloader using fastboot and it happened successfully.
I am on Beta 2. It got successful because i haven't modified my system. Also it did wipe all the data.
