The ADB command to unlock is "fastboot oem unlock", so presumably the command to lock is "fastboot oem lock". I've done the former, but not the latter, as I'm unclear as to whether the locking wipes the device.

Thank you I will give it a try and report back

I'm interested whether re-locking the bootloader wipes the device, as when unlocking. I'd like to re-lock to eliminate the 30 second boot up message re the unlocked bootloader, but not enough to re-setup everything again.

It factory resets when you lock it

Follow up it wouldnt accept the modified system and would say os damaged and wouldnt boot system or recovery upon reunlocking system would boot normally

With all data still there

Downloading a factory image now to restore to factory and see if i can lock it then if not will lock and send it in coming up to the os damaged screen

Basically I had the bootloader unlocked and it was rooted. I unrooted the phone and then I locked the bootloader and I am here now. Just wanted to make it go back to stock.

There probably isn't, if you've altered system and relock and toggle OEM unlocking off in dev. options you get bricked.

Did you try:
fastboot flashing unlock
Since you only relocked, you unlikely toggled "OEM unlock"?!
If it fails, I think you are SOL. Maybe someone with a proper solution will chime in. Otherwise, you have to RMA your device...
Good luck...

Hey... Go into recovery and perform a factory reset.
Reboot bootloader and flash stock firmware. You could flash both slots to be sure your device is completely clean.
I wrote a how-to for someone having another issue. You.can follow this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71849370&postcount=28
When you are finished with flashing, reboot to be sure your system boot properly and your phone works as it should...
From here you can reboot into bootloader and issue:
fastboot flashing lock
If It was me I'd leave it unlocked though... Or at least OEM unlock enabled and ADB debugging ON. Since Google tend to release messed up OTA, you can always unlock the bootloader if needed.
But if you wish you can also disable the OEM unlock.
Good luck...

I'm pretty inexperienced with this kind of stuff and so you might have to explain it a bit further than what that link says. I did fastboot reboot bootloader in terminal but it can't find my device. Also I couldnt get into recovery when it was bricked so I probably still can't

Hey...
You boot into bootloader when the Device is powered off
Just like in your video: with power + volume down
You can see infos regarding:
Bootloader
Radio
S/N
DRAM
Boot-slot=
Etc...
This is the bootloader :good:
From here, unzip the google image you have downloaded, open the folder and from here run the flash-all script. Let your device reboot. Power it down, boot into bootloader again with power + volume down. Change active slot as I described in the link I gave you previously. Run the same flash-all again... Done!
Just for safety, remove your Google account before you continue. You'll add it again later...
Good luck...

Hey... Flash both slots... Just to be sure both are clean and nothing problematic​ remains on your device before locking your bootloader!
It could brick installing an OTA or whatever. Better restart 100% clean. :good:
Cheers...
Just flash the flash-all, relock and call it a day. Then you'll be fully stock and locked. I would however recommend rebooting once before locking to make sure its all good.

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?

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.

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.

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

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot

Hi friends
Please give me suggestion or guide how to solve problem about handset booting after mistakenly handset OEM locked through fastboot
It enter to fastboot mode but not going to recovery mode or restart in system mode
Is there any solution
If yes then please help me
fastboot oem unlock ?
Actually ive unlocked OEM and install twrp recovery and installed freedom os
Then while checking OEM status ive enter command fastboot OEM lock
It ask me I've pressed yes after that the massage is came after restart as your device is corrupt it can't be trusted and will not boot
After that it enter to fastboot but not going to recovery mode or system
While type command in fastboot OEM unlock massege come failed
This happens because your bootloader has been unlocked at one time. There is no going back, even if you use "fastboot oem lock" later.
Edit: Just noticed the part about your device will not boot. You need to find the system image and flash it. I read somewhere today that OnePlus just released the system image for 4.7.4.
Can you unlock again?
@op, IMHO the best possible solution will be to flash stock rom image and stock recovery if required but I think when you flash stock image it will also flash stock recovery.
When you turn off the phone and boot it with VOLUME UP plus POWER, this should send you straight away to Fastboot. Try if you can unlock again, otherwise... bad luck - you'll need a restore session with 1+.

Not to be unrespectful, but you're wrong, it is absolutely possible to relock bootloader without problems.
IMHO, trouble happened because he had a custom rom onboard... and a locked bootloader does exactly its purpose... to not boot insecure firmware!

After looking into it further, I agree with you. That's what I get for having a bootloader-locked Samsung device for two years. I must be getting rusty!
Yes, the bootloader can be re-locked. There may still be a tamper flag as with previous OnePlus devices. But having a locked bootloader with non-OEM software would likely cause the problem he is describing. So, he needs to flash the factory image from bootloader.
I've requested to 1+support for restore remote session
Support send me file link and l2 will assist me in within 2 days
DO NOT RELOCK BOOTLOADER UNLESS U READ UP FIRST!!!!!, its worth just waiting the few seconds after reboot, then to go and try to relock the bootloader

It's because of custom recovery.

You unlocked bootloader, flashed rom (custom) and relocked bootloader? Never lock your bootloader on a custom rom! Just enter fastboot again flash twrp (manual/force reboot recovery), copy internal storage to pc then wipe/format everything. Format data. Factory reset then flash latest official rom and reboot

Question Relock without MSM Tool

Is there no easy way to relock the bootloader without using the MSM Tool (which I've never done)? I relocked it in the normal way, fastboot oem lock, but that resulted in a "device is corrupt and will not boot" error. I unlocked it and it's fine, but... I want to re-lock it.

On OOS? Run a full local upgrade to whatever your current version is and try again
Yeah, it was just running stock firmware... Ok, so full local upgrade and try fastboot oem lock again?
Worth a try I guess, thanks!!!
The local update is running now, hope it works since the MSM Tool gives me a "failed to start" "because of a side by side configuration" error... lol. Sheesh, never experienced trouble relocking a device before.

Haven't done it in a while but I'm sure it's the same. Go into fastboot and make sure the device is recognized with "fastboot devices" then " fastboot flashing lock " and it will wipe device and reboot.

I did uninstall the magisk I had in my pixel 6 pro and now I don't have root, but now when I start the device I see lines at the boot about the fastboot so as I understand I should lock it for the OTA's of google, (is it right?)
So i saw here the command: fastboot flashing lock

As you may know, even though you uninstalled Magisk and don't have root, you could still have modified partitions on the phone.
You can use:
Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own)
(same as your link) but uncheck the option to wipe, then the phone won't be wiped.
Only then re-lock the bootloader.

You're welcome. I believe you have the lock command correct. See here -> Re-locking the bootloader
Keep in mind that when you do that, it will factory reset your device, and there's no way around that. Every single time you unlock the bootloader or lock it, it forces the phone to factory reset.
Also note that after re-locking the bootloader, you should toggle OEM unlocking in Developer options back to disabled.

Looks like @fil3s gave you some of this information in the separate thread you created here. Since I haven't used Official Google Android Flash Tool, I forgot that it appears there's an option right on that site to lock the bootloader. You should follow the directions that @fil3s gave you there, and yes, it will wipe. Factory Reset = Wipe
Ok no way so no way
Will do that

I did uninstall the magisk I had in my pixel 6 pro and now I don't have root, but now when I start the device I see lines at the boot about the fastboot so as I understand I should lock it for the OTA's of google, (is it right?)

Everything @roirraW "edor" ehT said, but just to be clear, if you only have the bootloader unlocked but nothing else modified, you should still be able to take OTAs. You don't need a locked bootlaoder to take OTAs.

So I think I will leave it like this if I will still get the OTAs, there is no problem with that right?
Thanks
