[How to]Relock Bootloader - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My mobile:
ZF2 ZE551ML 2GB [ROOTED] [BT UNLOCKED]
bear with me!!!!!!!!
I had Hard Bricked my phone previously
[xFSTK Method] i flashed the .RAW file to recover it
After fewdays
I flashed TWRP
but when i try to open recovery it again boots to bootloader
i researched a lot and found that BT must be unlocked (i already unlocked though)
Then i again unlocked BT.. Im Successful in flashing
So,
Do i relocked the bootloader using the .RAW file??
can i able to relock it if i do the same(flash .RAW file)??

Did the black splash screen come back after you flashed the RAW image?

No

Nope.. I flashed Black Splash screen Later

I do believe what you are saying, cause I can actually relate it to changing of motherboard

I found a tutorial for bootlader unlocking but I can't try it 'cause I already haven't the ZF2.

Is there a way to know if the bootloader is relocked or not? A part from the white or black splashscreen

[Q] Sony Xperia Arc S won't boot up.

When I try to boot it up (using the power button of course), the LED above the USB connection place flashes green, and the phone vibrates once and does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I found the issue; can't use SEUS after you unlock the bootloader. Thanks anyways! All I did was flash a rom that relocked my bootloader (?? don't know the terms), and then run SEUS again.
you cant relock a bootloader with a rom.. you need help fro this thread. download a ftf firmware and flash t using flashtool so that the phone boots p and then check the bootloader status .....later depending on it, flash a custom kernel and rom (optional though recommended)

Well, there are scripts available that can relock the bootloader...
Link-in's method works too.

Whoops, guess I meant I flashed an FTF... lol. Something I found on YouTube.
But yeah, I've run into another problem; while rooting the phone (using this guide over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957), I think I've bricked my phone again. I didn't enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources, so it got stuck at Daemon Started Successfully. Haven't been able to boot into my phone since. Sorry if this problem has been solved before, wasn't able to find the solution while searching that thread.'
EDIT: ...sorry again, managed to stumble my way through and revive my phone.

You need to fastboot flash the ROM's boot.img. As every unlock thread says, you need to do so for every time you flash a ROM.

I did that....
Had to flash the stock again root install cwm again Rom. But it is the same everytime, evn aftr flashing kernel it always dead. I was trying to instsll another Rom and thn it went to brick mode then aftr lot of search I found to flash stock Rom so downloaded ftf of. 96 an then flashed it started working again I did rooting and installation of cwm again new Rom and it is going on and on right now im using stock Rom frm Sony and it is rooted had not gone further.
How do I solve this now?
so means your phone isn't dead ,so after you flash can't boot, I think you had better to check if you are unlock your boot loap or not, If you have unlocked, I think need to flash new boot for your rom, not only kernel.

right now ,you can flash customer rom,just choice what you want from the furom.Just before you flash the rom,follow the information which the developer said.
Another way is to get to customer service center.

Can I relock bootloader for warranty?

I'm going to get I ze551ml and I'm definitely going to root it as some apps I use require root.
Just in case something happen, like hardware fault, can I return to stock firmware stock recovery and locked bootloader without any trace of being rooted before and get warranty?

The fact that you can't lock the bootloader again is the reason why I haven't unlocked my phone yet.
You can still root the phone without unlocking the bootloader.
news?
Still no.
I believe that locking it won't be possible until Asus releases an official bootloader unlocker.

AFAIK, bootloader will be relocked after flashing RAW firmware via Asus Flash Tool.

I have a few questions:
Which tool should i use to flash the raw firmware, Asus flash tool or intel phone flash tool? Other?
What do i get afterflashing the 550 raw, bootloader(fastboot)? recovery? both?
Later i am supposed to flash the 551 zip via adb sideload from recovery? Or the system.img and boot.img via fastboot? Or what?
Do you remember the username of anybody who tested and succeed?
I'm a little bit confused.
Thank you again.

Almost fully working phone. Wrong DPI-like image on screen. May be you must flash splashscreen from 551 manually if you lost recovery. Wrong phone model in settings menu.

Your bootloader is unlocked. Put the phone into Factbook mode by using the menu when the phone first turns on. Download and Install this to your pc: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410 (its drivers and stuff). Then download twrp: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/dianl.../oneplus3/TWRP
Save the img file somewhere and plug your phone into your pc in fastboot mode. Open minimal adb fastboot from earlier and type: fastboot flash recovery PATHTOIMGFILE
Where path to img file could be c:\users\dave\desktop\twrp.img

Let me know if you manage it. Should be simple enough
You should use Grarak's TWRP. It's much more compatible with various ROMs.

I know, don't worry! I'm actually still hoping for a twrp that will let you back up EFS if one comes out. I have done it manually for now but it would be super convenient

We'll have that option when someone gets official build status. Efs backup is something you take for granted until you have an issue.
I'm getting this error message at the stage of trying to install twrp! Every time
