May I know if I relock the bootloader on my Zenfone 8, will it:
1) wipe out the data?
2) be able to pass safetynet again?
Thanks

1. yes
2. yes! Re-locking should get all functionality back, except OTA updates from the settings app.

Oh, too bad that it wipes out data
But thanks for the confirmation as I've been reading contradicting comments before. I need to think about how to restore my app data as I won't have root anymore after relocking.

Could you share the procedure to relock bootloader on Zenfone 8? I searched a while but couldn't find one that works on my phone.
Edit: never mind. Finallly figured it out.

I followed this post and used the command "fastboot oem asus-csc_lk" in bootloader mode. I mixed up with fastboot mode at first.
I am on the latest firmware on A12

Yeah but why lock bootloader when you can flash StatiX

Not familiar with StatiX. Do I need to have root with StatiX to pass SatefyNet? If yes, it's no good to me. Safetynet is very easy to pass. But I need my device for work, and my company has those root-detecting apps in my work profile which are playing cat and mouse games with Magisk. Really tired of this, so I have to go back to Stock root-free rom.

No, you don't need to have root to pass SafetyNet on StatiX

So I am the prime v6. 5 rom. I have twrp, I'm rooted and I have xposed. Would installing the 6.6 update brick the phone? I just don't have the bootloader unlocked. Any help is appreciated!
I thought you had to have an unlocked bootloader in order to install TWRP and root. Are you sure your bootloader is locked?

I got twrp and root without unlocking the bootloader.
I ended up doing that later by running rootjunky's script. It will wipe your data. So you would know if your bootloader was unlocked. If you look on his thread, he has a way for you to check.
Of course this all assumes you aren't on 6.6.

I am thinking of going back to stock as I see no need for root at the moment. Can I lock the bootloader again and unlock it again in the future?

If you're gonna use toolkits, at least use the right one... That link is for the outdated version. I'm sure it works, but still...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
And I'm gonna add the obligatory remark on how learning to use fastboot and adb can be very useful when tinkering with your device. It can sometimes save your device when toolkits can't and you'll learn a lot about how your device works. :good:
With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?
My bootloader is also unlocked and I dont have any problems with receiving and installing OTAs I also have Magisk and EdExposed installed - no problems at all.

yes.
What instruction did you use to unlock the bootloader?
What region is your device manufactured for?
Does your PC see your device connected to the fastboot mod?
What does this command give you:
Code:
fastboot devices
If the device is detected, enter the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And copy the result here.

Hey all,
I have the Moto One Zoom running on Android 9.
Also, It's Rooted with Magisk and have Riru EdXposed installed, can I install my OTA updates without bootloop or do I have to Uninstall Magisk, relock bootloader and factory reset/flash stock firmware to get latest OTA updates?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Hi, i need to relock my Zenfone 8. Right now it's running newest Beta, but everything is fully operational. Do you have any idea, how to relock?
fastboot oem lock is not working
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk also nothing
Both are giving:
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
Thanks.

As far as I know, once unlocked, it is not possible no relock again.
Asus says it's can't be relocked. At least it was reply to me from their support.
I relocked mine but you cannot restore OTAs since your IMEI is permanently blacklisted with Asus.

I don't think that it'll help you to fool ASUS service center. imei is blacklisted for OTA updates and i'm pretty sure that S/N too.
See no reason for that...

Hi again. One guy tried this and locked his BL (with followed factory reset).
He has Android 12 (beta 2 I think) and experienced some problems with phone auto-reboot when interent/sim card is active. If SIM is removed then he can use his ZF8.
Do you have same behavior or everything is ok for you?

After re-locking I also went back to Android 12 beta 2. I have not had any SIM or reboot issues AND my ramdump error has not re-appeared.

That person replied that those reboots were fixed by re-enabling some previously disabled apps through ADB command. It looks like too many apps were disabled.
It's interesting, will you have any OTA-updates in future or your S/N / IMEI still in blacklist for OTA's ?

No OTA; S/N is blacklisted :-( It's fine. You just download the update to storage and the phone will see it and do the update.
Hello. I wanted to root my redmi note 10s, and I unlocked the bootloader. But after reflexion, i want to cancel it, cause root will not be useful as I thought. Is it possible to relock the bootloader? And if yes, will the process erase all data ? And will everything be back like before? For example, will I be allowed to use Google One, witch doesn't work on bootloader unlocked devices ? Thanks by advance

yes, relocking the bootloader will erase all your data, to do so just use miflash and select the option clean flash and lock
