If my bootloader says relocked not locked but everything else is stock then can i still claim under warranty in Australia on vodafone
Probably not. Bootloader has to be "locked". Relocked will let them know that you had unlocked it and flashed something.

That really depends Vodafone Australia's policy, as it seems to vary by country.
If you do need to be "locked" rather than "relocked" this link might help. For users that that have htcdev unlocked, the easiest way to regain the "locked" bootloader status is to do the JuopunutBear wire trick, which will leave the bootloader "locked", then flash an RUU and set S-ON with the "fastboot oem writesecureflg 3" command. That would set your phone back to totally stock.

I have rooted, but my bootloader never had "unlocked" text, I say it this way and not just "my bootloader isn't unlocked" because I'm not sure if it is unlocked or not.
Is my warranty void already? If so I'm giong to unlock the bootloader and add AOKP rom!
In my country (Turkey) rooting the device voids the warranty. In case someone needs to send his phone to service, he needs to unroot first.
Also you need to go into recovery by holding power + volume down buttons together at startup, and see which recovery you have installed. Is it the CWM or the moto recovery? If CWM, you're already unlocked. Unlocking bootloader obviously voids warranty, no hesitation about it.

Unrooting your device is really easy, so no worry about that. If you flashed a sbf file to your device, your bootloader is unlocked

Technically, your warranty is void. But if you just delete the Superuser app it is doubtful anyone will notice.
If you don't see "unlocked" on your splash screen, then your bootloader is locked.

You can flash an sbf with a locked bootloader. Remember, that is how we unlock the bootloader.

First you have to use the all in one toolkit to relock your bootloader, then you can run the ruu. Just FYI at the top of Hboot it will now say relocked, not locked. In other words HTC will know you tampered with it.
yes, but a relocked bootloader has nothing to do with warranty (in europe)...
How do I lock the bootloader to LOCKED as if it were a brand new phone and not say RELOCKED?

you cannot unless your phone is s-off...
Ninji is correct.
You need to S-Off then reflash RUU to obtain the "Locked" Status.
Is there a way to put bootloader in 'Locked' instead of 'Relocked' ? My phone was unlocked and S-off. I put it back to S-on, and tried to locked the bootloader with cmd 'fastboot oem lock', but in the bootloader it says 'relocked'. I wonder if there's a way to put it in 'locked', and not flashing RUU....
thank you!
you need to lock your bootloader while you are putting the phone back to s-on... there's a guide somewhere let me find it for you..here's the thread about how to lock the bootloader and s-on the phone
The only way I know of is to be s-off then flash the stock RUU. It will read "Locked" after its completed.
I need to return my Nexus 9 to stock to get a warranty return from HTC. I know exactly what to flash, and how to relock the bootloader, my question is does it leave any evidence of being relocked? Does the text at the top of Hboot say Locked, or relocked. How about the "this is a development device" red text? Will flashing the stock bootloader, recovery, system, etc fix that? Finally, will there be any evidence if they run "fastboot oem device-info " on hboot?
I just want to be 100% clear that there wont be any evidence of bootloader unlock when I'm done.
Thanks!
