you cannot unless your phone is s-off...
Ninji is correct.
You need to S-Off then reflash RUU to obtain the "Locked" Status.

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 read somewhere that the AT&T version comes with an unlocked bootloader, how do I tell if mine has been unlocked?
It comes with an unlockABLE bootloader. You can do so by going to htcdev.com and going through the unlock process.
if I decide to unlock the bootloader and root my at&t m9, will it change the bootloader status to locked instead of relocked? Also im guessing if it did it would require me getting s-off with sunshine? Was thinking about rooting to remove the at&t bloat but want to make sure I can go back to completely stock if I need to.

If you unlock your bootloader it will say 'Unlocked' if you decide to go back to stock it will say 'Relocked' unless you have s-off then you can follow the instructions below and it will say 'Locked'

to unlock your bootloader you have to use the method made for your bootloader, if there is one.
downgrade is only possible while s-off, btw.

Hi. Many thanks. I used sunshine to unlock and s-off. When I open sunshine again it says it's already rooted and I can't unlock bootloader. Any idea?

if you used sunshine s-off, you are already able to downgrade. if you are s-off with that method, and most others, you dont need to relock to downgrade. just flash ruu through fastboot. for that issue, contact sunshine. never been in that situation but you should still downgrade if S-OFF'ed.
Hi, I awant to root my H901 by unlocking bootloader (V20J). However, my concern is can it be locked again as I will sell it after a month or so and I don't want any bootloader unlock alert at startup? Has anyone tried to relock? Plz let me know, thanks.

To relock the bootloader follow the following instructions:
Put your phone under the fastboot mode
enter the following commands: fastboot oem lock
Keep in mind that while your boot-loader is locked, you will not be able to root or flash ROMs to your phone.

Thanks. Yes I can unlock the bootloader again to gain root but I have read in unlock thread guide that relocking might have unknown results. Have you or anyone else tried relocking personally?

You should not re-lock you bootloader if you have root but if you are going to trade in your phone or sell it then you should definitely re-lock your bootloader after you flash a stock ROM.
Bump..... Anyone successfully relocked bootloader without any error and got rid of unlocked bootloader at startup?
