Any way to check if bootloader is still locked?
In the maintenance menu I just see "bootlocker allowed: YES"
I can't find "bootloaer unlocked: YES" anywhere?
(cant find "bootloader unlocked: NO" either btw)

I just checked. What it litteraly says is:
"Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes"
So is this unlocked or locked?

How did you unlock?
Official way - locked.
Test point method - Don't know.
Test point method doesn't change it.
That's what I thought first too. But then I read on some topic that the test screen was supposed to say "unlocked: yes". But I guess he was talking about the official unlock?
I used test point method. So I guess I'm still unlocked then.
Need to search for another reason I can't flash a custom kernel with fastboot then... I get the message "can't load boot.img". Any ideas straight of the bat?
Thanks

If you unlocked bootloader by official method, it says:
Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
If you unlocked by test point method, it still says:
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes
To find out if your bootloader is unlocked or not after unlocking by TestPoint method, just try to flash a custom kernel using flashtool
Thanks,
Rick

Place the boot.img file in the same folder as fastboot, that you are using.

No, downloading flashtool from flashtool.net should have everything you need to relock

I cant exactly remember the steps but one of them alows you to unlock your bootloader
If its already unlocked then it will give you an option to relock
It should provide all other instructions i havent explained here

Do you have all the drivers installed for Z2, fastboot, flashmode and adb?
Power off your phone
Plug in holding volume down
Blue light should show up

your bootloader is NOT unlocked.... but you CAN unlock it...thats what it says....so you didnt buy a z2 with unlocked bootloader... i am pretty sure you cant buy one with unlocked bl....you have no warranty....
it would say bootloader unlocked: yes if it was unlocked
it would say bootloader unlock allowed: yes if your device was unlockable
oh... thx everyone then

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.

Thanks man! The problem was that I didn't had the "oem unlock" option in developer settings activated!! That's the reason I couldn't unlock it! Thanks!
Now that I have my bootloader unlocked what is the safest method to root it? Do you know?
Install TWRP and flash Super SU. But I didn't tested it yet.
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?
