I am planning to sell off my Motorola G5S.
At present, the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
Can someone tell me how to unroot the phone and lock the bootloader?
Additional Information: I used the following thread to unlock bootloader and root my phone.

Thanks in advance.

I have just rooted my phone. I wonder if I can unlock bootloader after rooting?
If I can, which way is the easiest way?
And also I want to know the benefits of unlocking Bootloader.
I want to add that I don't know so much about doing so complicated things, please know that while informing me.
I really appriciate your answers...
stock rom Gingerbread 2.3.3, rooted.
Rooting and bootloader unlocking are separate. Your bootloader has to be unlocked using a special code unique to your phone. The code is supplied by Sony Ericsson. It won't work if your phone is a carrier locked one. Unlocking the sim card won't enable it either. You need something called fastboot and only unbranded, unlocked phones have it.

Hi,
because of warranty I don't want to unlock my bootloader. Is there a way to root the device without onlocking the bootloader?

Hello guys, sorry because may be this is the 50th time someone ask this question but the situation change every day. Yesterday I won from lottery and decide to go from G3 to G4. My model is European H815, I want to ask you can I root G4, change the recovery and e.t.c. without unlocking the bootloader? And also if I unlocked it is their any way to locked it again or to use my warranty? Thank you!!
well you can only root using low effort root(google it or find it here ) But to change recovery you have to unlock bootloader
No there is no way confirmed to relock your bootloader
GOOD LUCK
Thank you! If I root by this way and download Flashify and try to change recover what will happen ? Thank you!
without bootloader unlocked nothing will chnage ( recovery wont be installed ) and when you reboot your phone it will get u error (authentication error #9) as i remember and you will have to flash new firmware using lg flash tool 2014 so i dont recommend you do so
if u wanna change recovery unlock ur bootloader
you are welcome anytime
I did not get it, I hope you can light me up:
1. Doing root using low effort root means rooting without unlocking bootloader? (because I flew over the thread and did not read anything about it)
2. If I do unlock Marshmallow's bootloader, what happens when I downgrade to Lollipop via flashing proper KDZ? (I would guess that the unlocked bootlader will be overwritten!? So flashing Marshmallow again would end up in a locked bootloader, doesn't it?)
thanks
You can root lollipop without unlocking bootloader but with marshmalow you can't, you have to unlock the bootloader.
You need an unlocked bootloader for custom recovery.
Bootloader unlocking is a one way operation , you can't go back.
Is their a way to root ZUK Z2 without unlocking the bootloader first? I don't want to unlock bootloader as it will void the warranty. I figured, phone can be unrooted easily too if can be rooted without unlocking bootloader and helps save the warranty.
You have to unlock bootloader first in order to gain root access.You can relock bootloader and regain warranty after flashing ZUI 1.9.004.But don't relock bootloader on custom roms as it can result in brick.
Hi my Sony Xperia xa2 say bootloader unlock no is there anyway to force software or at least root with out unlock bootloader thanks
This is not possible. In order to flash anything to the device, the bootloader must be unlocked. The whole point of the bootloader lock is to prevent flashing anything; firmware is updated via OTA.
