how do i check if my bootloader is locked?

so i just recently unrooted my phone. and was wondering how do i check if i successfully locked the bootloader?

It would normally say in boot loader on the bottom left lock state unlocked

When you reboot the phone, you will see a little open lock symbol underneath the Google logo. That means u have an unlocked bootloader. (fastboot oem lock) <- Will not format the phone!

Yep.

Does this mean bootloader is unlockable?

So I've got a Pixel XL I got from Bell here in Canada. I kinda assumed the bootloader wouldn't be unlockable the way direct from Google phones are and thought I would need to use the Verizon unlock method. I was gonna do this today before downloading the November update just to be sure I didn't lose the ability. Well I thought I would try it the regular way first with "fastboot oem unlock". Anyway I get the option on my phone to select yes or no if I want to unlock after putting in the comand. Do the Verizon versions do this or does that mean the Bell version is bootloader unlockable out of the box with no special expolit? If so I don't think I'll unlock the bootloader right now because of the required whipe and I was just doing it so I didn't lose the ability.

You should be able to just unlock it.

Sweet! That's great to hear. Bell didn't mess with the bootloader.

Non VZW Pixel 2 cannot be OEM unlocked

Hey XDA! Recently got a Pixel 2 from a friend, and was planning on rooting when I found out OEM unlocking was greyed out. Which is strange, because I know this is not a Verizon version. Using the BYOD page of Verizon like some threads say brings up this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So it's definitely not a Verizon model. Any chance to get bootloader unlocked so I can root? Thanks.
Note: Phone is running the latest security update.

Okay, so weird thing, OEM unlocking option just ungreyed out itself, yet it still cannot be bootloader unlocked. Strange.
EDIT: After trying fastboot, option just disabled itself again.

You cannot go by that BYOD page. Run the device IMEI through an IMEI check website instead. I'm willing to lay odds it IS a Verizon device, in which case you're f*****.

Can I flash partition images I made before through ResearchDownload program in order to unlock my now locked Huawei device?

I have a Huawei Y560-U02. They published this device with an unlocked bootloader.
But device's bootloader got locked after I flashed another firmware on it with ResearchDownload program.
I have backup images of each and every partitions of emmc, including 'boot.img'.
When I prepare/extract the same .pac file that locked the bootloader with ResearchDownload, in the main tab there are EraseUBOOT, BOOT and UBOOT_LOADER already checked.
Now I'm asking, is it possible to unlock the bootloader by:
- Keeping the EraseUBOOT checked.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Replacing BOOT with my own 'boot.img'
- Unchecking UBOOT_LOADER
I'm not sure what this procedure implies. Will I be able to unlock the bootloader like this?
Is there any risk of hard bricking?
I don't want to brick the phone further (or, harder). Right now it's just a manufacturer phone with a locked bootloader. edit: Oh, and no IMEI!
P.S. For more info on how I got into this state you can read this post and its previous one from my posting history.

It doesn't mention or say without root. And my title just say with bootloader locked. The Dev in screenshot claims his root exploit was a success, meaning he managed to get root without bootloader unlock and without magisk

Thank you for the explanation. Cheers!

@fuadhdmini you may be interested in changing the thread type from "Question" to "General".

Are you making a guide for this?
