So I unlocked it for the 769..flashed cm sucessfully
...then went to stock with flashing a kdz. Seems boot loader is relocked on stock but I read somewhere its only temporary, can't remember where..so how do I unlock it again? Without the whole kdz 20b europe process again.. I know its locked cause I got security error when flashing recovery/ROM..got it back with fastboot
Also hidden menu says locked...
However sw upgrade mode still says boot loader status unlocked..

I envy you so much, why in the world would you go through all of that simply to relock?

Hi matthewstice, I think that your bootloader is only apparently locked, you need JB roms (or at least load JB u-boot and x-loader with fastboot)... , I'm not sure, but I read something about it here, just don't remember the link.
Cheers. Good luck.

I forgot to relock and it did brick but following the UNBRICKING thread i got it back working. RELOCK bootloader then update then UNLOCK and REROOT all works fine now of course after root probably best to relock bootloader anyway just incase.

Once we have an .ftf of the new 2.3.4 VZW OTA update we will be able to flash that via fastboot, and re-root while keeping our bootloader unlocked?

Yeah, flashtool. Haha.
So I relocked my bootoader, and now I want to unlock it again, it fail. I even tried to just use fastboot commands to boot into recovery and it comes back as
failed phone must be rooted." I did use flashtool to reflash back to stock r800x firmware 2.3.2 I dont know what it s going on. I have flashed my phone before and unlocked the bootloader but now it wont.
I relocked my bootlaoder to ota to 2.3.3. but decided to go back to 2.3.2. for the time being.
Any ideas why this is happening?
tried to unlock the bootloader and it fails everytime. Using fastboot commands for recoveryPLAY comes back with a "phone must be rooted" line.
Hey guys.
Two days ago i have flashed back my SK17i to stock rom.
I updated from FOTA.
I didn't know i must relock bootloader before updating from FOTA, so i bricked my phone.
After 2 minutes of deep panic, i've flashed the relock .ftf file, but it won't work on phones unlocked with test point.
So, i found a way to relock bootloader and go back to stock. (On forums i didn't see any guide regarding the method to relock bootloaders unlocked by test point)
I've done in this way:
1) Flashed stock kernel
2) Flash the .ftf relock file
3) With S1Tool hit restore
The phone is now bootloader locked, without losing of DRM!

brov dont really understand dis, please break it down a little bit!
I just registered to confirm this method works. I foolishly allowed a FOTA yesterday and bricked my phone. It was unlocked via testpoint so the relock method didn't work, even though I tried it! I also tried flashing with S1tool with generic firmware and that didn't work. Then just out of curiousity/desperation I clicked on the RESTORE button in S1 and my phone actually started but was now locked again. I re-did the testpoint unlock this morning so now my phones fully updates and working with my SIM of choice.
I don't know if you need to do all the flashing as it may just be the RESTORE that does the trick. I definitely won't be allowing any OTA from now on. Lesson learned!
Just to confirm, so long as I do the update via PCCompanion or SEUS software I wont need to do all this?
Files to download please?

If you unlocked your bootloader with test point, no need to flash anything, just press restore button in s1tool.
anyone tried this method to relock the bootloader which unlocked by test point method and still have the sim/network unlock

There are many post that teach you this.
First unlock your bootloader and you can flash the boot.img or ftf with either fasrboot or flashtool

Check out this thread:
SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 by quangnhut123
hope this helps!
It's your phone sim locked?
If it is then: do you have access to fastboot mode?? ( turn off your phone hold the volume up key and connect the phone to your computer without letting go of the key, the notification led should turn blue. That is fastboot.)
If yes then you will need to unlock your bootloader either the official way here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com or the test point method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285.
If you don't have access to fastboot then you will need to simunlock your phone first and as of what I know and at this moment you will need to pay for it.
Once you unlocked your bootloader you have to flash the kernel of your choice using flashtool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309

well i know of people able to go into fastboot with locked bootloader the problem is when you have a sim lock and the bootloader unlock allowed: no message in the service menu then you will have to pay to unlock the sim along with the fastboot.
Hello,
is it possible to relock bootloader after ulocking it? I need it due to the warranty.
in short, No. please search the forum for details, as this is discussed.
i suggest you just try the luck sending the phone in and not mention anythong about the bootloader. of course should flash to stock rom if that still can be done

Why you want the warranty? Want to sell it later? Or did it already got any fault?

I think, he did not say he is sending to service center. He just said he needs it for warranty (in future).
See how smart these new pals are. May be we are all idiots to unlock it without giving a second thought. lolz
I do not have yet any fault, I just want to try alternative rom and I want to have way back to stock rom
My last phone had after 3 month of use some problem and I must return it. So I just want to know if it is possible
I thought that flashing the stock u-boot & x-boot will re-lock the bootloader.

Maybe this should be in a sticky post somewhere. I have seen a few people ask about re-locking the bootloader.
If this works, we should start collecting u-boot & x-boot images.
There is no way to relock bootloader. Here is good post about bootloader and omap4430, it applies to L9s. In our case ics xloader ,uboot or both simply don't recognize that bootloader had been unlocked and it just appears locked.
I see. Thanks you.
So, you guys with unlocked bootloader, have no problem with fact that your devices have no warranty?
If you don't mention the unlocked bootloader to the customer service and your device has an unrooted stock ROM, there is only a few chance that they check the bootloader if it is for an hardware issue.
It only requires a little bit luck .
If i will make root by this:

cwm requires unlocked bootloader
I think you need to install the "CWM Recovery" bootloader to flash a custom ROM. And with a locked bootloader, you can only have a bootloader signed by LG (not a "CWM Recovery" one).
However, you can try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825
It is a "CWM Recovery" which is not directly placed inside the bootloader (instead, it adds a step on Android start). When I tried it on my P760 (when it still had a locked bootloader), it failed (but you can still try).

Actually that recovery will not work on jb,
Ok, that's why it failed for me.
Now, you have your answer, you must stay on ICS if you wish to keep your bootloader locked with CWM Recovery.
However, I would be curious to know what happens if a JB ROM (custom or stock) is installed through using this "locked bootloader CWM Recovery".

I received "Security Error" when attempting to boot when I tried this a while back. It just won't work because the kernel needs to be signed by LG.
So may I at least root phone or even root is not possible without unlocked bootloader?

Get into software upgrade mode. Turn the phone off. Plug the phone into your computer, and hold volume up and down (might be another combination like volume up and home. Keep trying.)
If the bootloader is unlocked, it should say Bootloader unlocked on the top left of the screen. If not, it will say nothing.
Or just dial 3845#*769# and scroll all the way down, hit bootloader unlock check then click the button, too easy

No, that does not work (well on some roms, with the proper u-boot it will). The best way to check is putting phone in s/w upgrade mode. If it's unlocked (and on a V20F, V20H or a unlockable jellybean U-boot) it will say Unlocked Bootloader.
