You will re-lock the phone by flashing the SBF. To unlock reflash the unlock file..you'll still be on the latest SBF.
I unlocked my bootloader by going into fastboot and typing fastboot oem unlock, then it asked my to type it with my device id, so i copied the device id so i typed fastboot oem unlock ******** and it worked, it says unlocked and works

hi there,
like the title says im trying to flash a different / older/ stock ROM to see if i can unlock the bootloader and or if anyone knows a way i can root my device without the bootloader that would be great too but i think ive expended all my options..... if you can help in any way that would be great! thank you
also i have flashtool downloaded but can not get it to work with my device just keeps saying my bootloader can not be officially unlocked ..... can it be unofficially unlocked?
You have to use the Xperia M2 method to unlock the bootloader as there is still no official way.
There are more than enough guides in other topics where you can read how to unlock your bootloader. First enter the service menu(*"*"service"*"*) and check is it is allowed on your device. If it says 'no' there is no way to unlock. Also if you can unlock don't forget to tick the box in developer options
For root you can afaik just install twrp for locked bootloaders and flash a root (supersu for example)
thanks guys ,
yes i have looked into the tutorials and cannot seem to make it work.
i tried the m2 method and nothing either ..... my bootloader says it cannot be unlocked but ive been reading and apparently there is a way to get around it .... ive successfully flashed different ROMS to try and gain root access too but with no luck
so i guess im asking if anyone has had luck with unclocking there "locked" bootloader on an m4 or if it is even possible at all?
any help is greatly appreciated
I just got this phone today and i've been reading about how to root. A lot of people are saying we can't unlock the bootloader on the LG-H831 varient because we can't unlock the boatloader but I just found this
Doesnt seem to make a diff with mine...still cant even boot the bootloader
Using T-Mobile file
Did you try this root method??
If so did it work??
This is just the option to allow OEM unlock IF you have the unlock.bin file. But I think LG doesn't release the unlocking codes for the H831. But trying is always worth the time
I dont have OEM options in dev menu, already rooted device and bootloader unlocked, I even installed TWRP and LineageOS - now i wanna update device but cant update TWRP because FRP is unlocked
Well, you need the OEM unlock option in the first place to lock the FRP.
As of how to do it?! I'll look in the forums and see if I come by anything
Hi there . Recently i just rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader but i want to roll it back to stock status.
I read a lot and i can not understand ,
Is it possible to lock the bootloader on that phone or not ? If yes ,how ?
EDIT : I tried with fastboot commands oem relock but it didn't work .I removed the root but still need to lock the bootlodaer
Hey, you can flash official firmware into your device and get back to the stock firmware without root. But you can't re-lock the bootloader. I have tried so many command in fastboot and any of em doesn't work.

I was able to remove the root manually so no need to reflash stock frimware,but about bootloader still not successed to lock it even via flash tool BLU option. There should be warning that you can't lock it once its unlocked damn..

Yes indeed. I've tried that too. apparently you can't relock the bootloader in newer devices. Only thing to do right now is, hope that Sony will release some kind of commands to relock the bootloader. Unless there's no other way.
