I recommend against it. What's your reason for wanting to do this? There's really not much benefit to doing it.
But it's certainly possible and simple to do.

I may be wanting to return my 10 - was a purchase directly from HTC. Just not sure if it fits my wants as a device. Their return policy doesn't say anything about reusing unlocked devices, but I felt that may be bad if I returned it unlocked.

Well if you received an unlocked code from htcdev, they will be able to tell you unlocked it, so I'm not sure how much it matters. Also, even if they didn't check the htcdev database, when you relock, your bootloader will show "relocked" instead of "locked".
I'm not sure what their return policy is on unlocked devices. Good luck.
Oh, and if you want to relock it, just go to download mode and enter "fastboot oem lock" in a command window.

Moderator Information,
I have removed the above two posts. The commands given are device specific commands. If used on another device, it could brick the phone.

If you want to relock your bootloader for warrenty, you'll have to S-OFF first and use some device-specific procedure(which hasn't released yet) to make it completely stock-like again.

As an aside if you do run that specific command on this device you will end up with some serious problems.. the adb echo command of the past devices is more.

I tried "fastboot oem lock" but it bounced back with a failure saying it's an unknown command. I tried a few other commands as well.
Fastboot flashing lock
Fastboot lock_bootloader (which was in the command list )
Fastboot OEM relock
But none worked. Need help.

How to Relock the Bootloader For Return

I bought my Pixel 2 XL from Google and I know they have a 15 day return policy but I don't know if unlocking the bootloader voids that. Can I re-lock the bootloader? Has anybody else returned their phone to Google?

That easy! Here are the instructions from Google:

Tells you the commands to unlock, flash stock rom and re-lock the bootloader...
This ain't no iPhone, son! Lol
You are allowed to do this stuff. All of the software to lock and unlock are provided by Google...

simply flash both partitions first then.
Just wipe it and ship it. Google will only inspect it for physical abuse and water damage. The don't care if it's unlocked. It Google, the sell us unlocked phones. I too have sent them back unlocked as have many others.
I just flashed the latest factory image then did a factory reset before I was going to re lock the bootloader. Now the oem unlock option on my phone is greyed out and adb/fastboot fives me errors trying to fastboot oem lock or fastboot flashing lock.

The slider will stay gray until the fastboot commands relock it. What are the errors you are getting. Exact wording please.

You said earlier they just check for physical damage. Don't they turn on the phone?
They shouldn't care when the locked boot loader screen shows at boot?

I sent one back with the bootloader unlocked they don't care. I'd make damn sure it's completely stock before you relock it maybe Flash the factory image to both slots just to be sure.

It is completely stock, but what does that mean

Go to Google's factory image page download January's image and do the flash all to slot a. Then change to slot B.
Fastboot --set-active=b then flash all to slot B. Probably Overkill but you'll for sure be stock. Then issue you're relock command to both critical and the regular bootloader one. For one you need to make sure your fastboot is current if it's not up to date you're probably going to have problems.
Edit. I would just send it back the way it is

fastboot unlock vs fastboot unlock critical

When I first got my device, everyone was talking about unlocking it with fastboot unlock.... Now I'm seeing several comments that fastboot unlock critical is needed.
Would someone be so kind as to share the difference, and the purpose for each of these?
I ran fastboot unlock back in October, and my device shows "OEM Unlocking" greyed out (bootloader is already unlocked)..
So now I'm wondering if I need to run fastboot unlock critical?
Thanks in advance...

Only if you want to update the bootloader. That's the only thing I can see that critical does.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I believe unlock_critical is necessary if you want to be able to flash updates manually..
"For Pixel 2 XL only: the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command, and should NOT be done on other devices:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
If you are updating an older device, run this command:
fastboot oem unlock "
Above quote is from Google Factory Image page.
thanks for the responses.
Since I already ran fastboot unlock, can I just run fastboot unlock_critical? Or do I need to do anything additional prior to running critical?
I've read @nathanchance 's guide where it says run one or the other, but haven't seen anything about running unlock prior to critical.
Thanks again!

You can just run it again. However, it WILL wipe your phone. Which is why I did mine back to back when I got the device. :good:

I ran the basic fastboot unlock when i first got the phone before i knew about the unlock_critical, so I went back recently to run the fastboot unlock critical and it would fail each time telling me the boot loader was already unlocked, even after i went and re-locked it just to run this command. Very interested to know if you can get it to work if you've already previously unlocked your bootloader because i had no luck

This is why I asked the question. I wasn't sure if doing the basic unlock prior to the critical unlock would be an issue.
I'm running the critical unlock when I get home tonight (I want to be able to update the bootlader in the future), I'll let you know what I run into, if anything.

I've unlocked the ordinary bootloader first, then the bootloader_critical without any problems :good:
I got a replacement Pixel 2 XL and wanted to do unlock_critical from the outset. So, I enabled oem unlock, booted to bootloader, ran the command, the phone prompted me to unlock, which I did. I rebooted and it wiped my data. I thought I was all set. So, I setup my phone. I then went to root with Magisk and it told me I wasn't unlocked. I booted back into OS and it also showed that the bootloader wasn't unlocked. It's definitely a Google version (not Verizon). I rebooted into bootloader and ran the regular fastboot flashing unlock command and it wiped and rebooted to an unlocked bootloader. SO... what happened the first time? Has anyone seen this? Confused, I searched around online and found this link:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-your-pixel-2-pixel-2-xl-0180707/
It says that when you send the fastboot flashing unlock_critical, you *also* need to send the fastboot flashing unlock command when you are prompted to confirm the unlock on the phone. Did anyone else have to do this? The instructions on XDA do not indicate this step and I don't see comments that others' phones still showed as locked when only using the unlock_critical command.
I tried booting into bootloader to run the unlock_critical command again and it says my bootloader is already unlocked, but there's no indication whether I have critical unlock or regular. I know I could lock it again and try to enter the instructions as provided on that site. However, I'd prefer not to reset my phone again.
Thoughts?

The bootloader_critical unlock has to be performed only if you want to flash the bootloader (e.g. when you flash a factory image), but, if you want to perform all the other operations, such as rooting, kernel flashing, etc., you have to unlock the ordinary bootloader, too.
So, these are the two Fastboot commands:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical (for bootloader flashing, you've already performed this)
fastboot flashing unlock (for all the other operations)
The request which appears on your phone, when you enter these two commands, is the same, and you have to allow the bootloader unlock in both cases :good:

If you are planning to return or sell the device.
1. Do a factory reset.
2. Make sure OEM unlocking and USB debugging are set to ON in the developer options.
3. Reboot into bootloader mode.
4. Run "fastboot flashing lock"
5. Then run "fastboot flashing lock_critical
The last two commands will wipe your phone again. Your bootloader should then be locked.
If your not planning on returning or selling your device. Then just leave it unlocked. That is all ?

Bootloader unlock help

This is my first OnePlus device so I'm a little confused. I've followed a bootloader unlock guide found here; however, it says my device will be wiped once it is unlocked. Problem is, the device isn't wiping so I can only assume it hasn't unlocked. Can someone point me to a guide that works?
I've already got my unlock_code.bin file from OnePlus and I flashed it before trying the unlock commands. Every command claimed to be successful; yet, there seem to be no changes whatsoever.
Try "fastboot oem device-info" without quotes, to get bootloader info. Should tell you if it's unlocked or not

You are sure you flash unlock_code.bin???

I'll have a look at it after I get off work; but, yea, many of the guides I looked at previously said I had to get an unlock token file from OnePlus to unlock the bootloader. I used as to get the code and then used the site down below to get the unlock_code.bin file from OnePlus.
https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token
Regardless, flashing that file not the "fastboot OEM unlock," or whatever the command is, worked and I'm certain my device is still locked.
First thing I did after work was to try and unlock it again. I'm not sure what happened or what I did differently, but it worked. Bootloader is unlocked and now I'm trying to figure out my next step.

General ROOT RED MAGIC 8 PRO V3.18

ROOT RED MAGIC 8 PRO V3.18​Your device must be bootloader unlocked
To unlock bootloader enable oem unlock in developer options and usb debugging
Then type the command: adb reboot bootloader
Or access fastboot with hardware key: Power + volume down
Once in fastboot type the following command to unlock:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
Access fastboot then type the command:
fastboot flash init_boot_a magisk_patched-25200_3.18UN.img
fastboot reboot
Done
You check if the correct active slot is a, if it is b just change the command a with b
Only use for V3.18 version I have not tested other versions
Note: Absolutely do not patch the boot file, you will have a continuous boot error​
Root Done
The backups with just ommiting the B slots is 12.7 gb so i cant personally help you with that. Have you tried flashing the OTA's boot.img (might even try boot_a.img) and init_boot.img while slot A is selected? Not the magisk modded files either.

i flashed those 2 files but still can't boot the phone, go to logo then turn off the screen, can only go to fastboot and recovery, i sideload 47% it gives error
If you are rooted, please help me, I will send you coffee donate, please help me, full backup
I Pm'd you the backups now that i am at home, hopefully they help
Im at a stand still with this. I have already fastboot flashing unlock_critical as you can see in which it states Device already unlocked but whether I am in bootloader and fastboot I get Flashing is not allowed in a lock state. Any help from some else that ran into this or has knowledge on it?
Thanks
Update. Fixed the issue. Add the step of "fastboot flashing unlock" before "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
If You can flash a GSI, It'd be a decisive factor in getting people to buy this phone. The company should be paying you to do this, but they're probably too greedy to make a bigger profit
I've successfully flashed a few A13 GSIs but screen lock is a still a problem and so far calls and messaging doesn't work normally.
I know that this next question were asked before, but i keep not understanding much about it: if i revert back the root completely (unroot the phone, lock the oem and delete "third party apps" like magisk, etc.) will my warranty be back? i am talking about the redmagic 8 pro void specifically. Can someone help me understanding this? i have searched on internet about this and they all say that simply it depends on manufacturers to "detect" if the warranty was void (even if you unroot and lock oem and all).... Thank you in advance

Well once you unlock bootloader it clearly says warranty: void in fastboot so it probably is very easy to detect

In that case, why op said that the warranty can still be returned after relocking the bootloader?
As you see, it is very connfusing... Some guys say yes, some others not. :s

Did you follow the instructions correctly, this error may have you flashed the wrong boot file, right?

Yes, I unlocked the bootloader first.
Then I flash boot and an error occurred.
Did I get a brick or is there hope?)
