I will receive my galaxy nexus few hours later and plan to unlock my phone. Is there a way to hide the unlock logo after I unlock the bootloader or Can I unlock the bootloader, then root the phone and relock the bootloader after to clear the logo but still get the root access. If yes, then how to relock the bootloader?
fastboot oem lock will re-lock the bootloader
But will I still get the root access of my phone after I relock the bootloader and will the unlock logo disappear when boot up after I relock the bootloader?
p.s. It is retail version
why do you need it locked?
I don't like the unlock logo at bootup and the warranty detail only state that I will lost the warranty if I unlock the bootloader, so relock it in case I need warranty, it may cheat them
so then you relock it if you need to. Development for this phone is very young right now so you'll likely be doing alot of flashing. I flash different rom/kernel combinations probably 3-5 times a day with how often things are updating right now. Besides the little unlock symbol is pretty awesome
I know the development is young, that's why I post this. I just need to confirm
1) Is it possible to relock the bootloader in retail version
2) Will the unlock logo disappear after relock
3) Will the phone can still get the root access after relock the bootloader
Thx very much and please reply me if anyone know!!

1) Yes, "fastboot oem lock"
2) Yes
3) Yes, while "fastboot oem lock" does not touch any of your data, "fastboot oem unlock WILL delete all your data. None of these processes can remove root access, the only way to remove it is to reflash the system partition, either by flashing it manually or through an OTA update.

So I'm on stock MRA58U right now and i'm trying to root with wugfresh nexus root toolkit.
When i go to start the root process with the tool it will end up telling me that the bootloader is locked and i need to unlock it, but i previously have unlocked the bootloader because I had root back on lollipop etc.
So i go through the prompts to unlock the bootloader and it does its thing and reboots etc. When i try to use the root option it will do the same and still tell me that the bootloader is locked...
and yes, i can confirm that in the bootloader it says unlocked. Any suggestions on what to do?

Having the same problem, had to down grade the rooting tool to v.2.0.5 for it to see the 7 as unlocked. You can get the older version here:

To make sure the 7 does the updates, I reflashed to stock unrooted MRA58K and let it do the 2 OTA update. Still trying to find the best way to root the MRA58V
Hello
I have some questions. Is there any consequences by unlocking boololader like a not working fingerprint sensor etc? After unlocking will working everything? And Is it possible to root htc 10 without unlockin bootloader?
Cheers
Unlocking will not break anything so you are safe to go. And it's impossible to root conveniently without unlocking the bootloader. (If any phone do root without unlocking, then it's seriously insecure by today's standard.)
I am planning to sell off my Motorola G5S.
At present, the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
Can someone tell me how to unroot the phone and lock the bootloader?
Additional Information: I used the following thread to unlock bootloader and root my phone.

Thanks in advance.
Hi my Sony Xperia xa2 say bootloader unlock no is there anyway to force software or at least root with out unlock bootloader thanks
This is not possible. In order to flash anything to the device, the bootloader must be unlocked. The whole point of the bootloader lock is to prevent flashing anything; firmware is updated via OTA.
