Hi to all!
my question is the following: if I unlock the bootloader, only start the custom recovery without flash it, flash magisk, and then re-lock the bootloader, i can have some problems?
Yes. It checks for non-stock data and it wipes the device upon relock. You may end up with a brick if you try to relock with non-stock software.

But I'm not going to change the system, magisk does not change the system, or am I wrong?

A locked bootloader will not boot a device that has a different signature from the stock one with any partition other than cache or userdata. Since Magisk has to change the boot image it has a different checksum than the stock because only OnePlus can resign an image with their signature.
On another note why do you need the bootloader to be locked? The only difference I can think for would be warranty but if you're that worried it wouldn't be worth it in the first place.

You can sign images yourself:

Do this wrong and you will have a bad day..., its easier to live with it. On some devices they have managed to change that image, but not eliminate it.

Installation Steps (Warranty can be restored whenever you wish)
-------------------------
Before starting your rom flashing journey it is always better to have Flashtool (latest -by androxyde) installed in your PC and your stock rom handy ; incase of any mishappenings.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* in your phone and see if your bootloader status is unlockable under service-->Configuration. Procede with below steps, only if your device is unlockable.
It is important that you follow the steps in order
1) First step for installing a custom rom over a mobile with stock rom is to backup the existing state of bootloader .Usually warranty will get void if any modification is done to bootloader. The below tool ensures that it takes the backup of existing state of bootloader when device is under warranty.
Goto
Backup TA for Sony Xperia (This tool helps you to have a )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598.
Download the tool.This tool will backup your DRM Securtiy keys . Successful backup can only be taken after the existing stock rom is rooted (Use towelroot application if your device is not already rooted) .Root it first then follow the process given in above link .
Once this is over , u will have a backup of the existing state of bootloader/TA partition (If you later wish to move back to stock rom from custom rom use the same tool to restore the backup you have just created.This means you will get your Warranty back);
2) Goto this website , follow the steps and get your unlock code via e mail.
Use fastboot mode to unlock your bootloader (Make sure that you have already backuped your existing DRM keys-Step 1).Follow it fully to unlock your bootloader
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/unlock/step1
3)Download any custom rom zips with recovery, for your mobile from xda developers forum and have fun.Extract boot.img using winrar or winzip .
Flash boot.img via fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
4)As the device reboots, when you see your LED glow press volume up or down. It will take you to CWM Recovery or TWRP recovery based on the rom that you have downloaded.
5)Just install the custom rom(*.zip ) from within the recovery.
What if that i already have the custom recovery?
So, just wipe data, dalvik, and cache, then flash the zip?
That's it?

Absolutely right. But before installing an custom rom in the first place i hope you have already backed up your DRM keys for warranty purpose(as mentioned in the guide) since if you unlock your bootloader without backing up your DRM keys, DRM keys might be lost forever .

Sure. Easiest way to do it is by using an app called, 'Titanium Backup Pro'.But you have to root your stock rom first for this application to run(Use towelroot if you are yet to root).Except for sony proprietary apps like walkman,Album,etc (will run only on stock rom as they use sony developed system libraries/API'S) other apps will get restored/run fine on a custom rom.

Thanks to @ foomanjackel for answering your questions.Regarding your 2nd question, 'Experience is the mother of invention'.Why don't you try and see what happens...just kidding.Couldn't resist it. Practically speaking of you install a custom rom with an custom kernel on a locked bootloader you will hard brick it.It will not boot and chances are that you might not be able to goto flashmode or fastbootmode anymoreto repair it.Reason this happens is that both your recovery and bootloader resides in the same partition in your mobile.If you try to install custom kernel on a locked bootloader in every probability, it not only corrupts your existing stocks kernel but also might corrupt your recovery leaving u helpless.
Theoretically, You should be able to install any custom-stock based rom on a locked bootloader (which runs exactly on ur stock kernel).In other words a custom rom which doesn't come up with a custom kernel but based on your existing stock kernel should be able to run on a locked bootloader.But my advice is you do not risk it.

I suppose it won't.I don't see the reason why u want to unlock the bootloader unless you want to install a new custom rom.
SO I made a n00b mistake and accidentally reloacked bootloader trying to flash a fresh system image. I wanted to go back to stock after being rooted and unlocked.
Now i get the red screen of death and it just shuts off the phone. No recovery seems to be installed.
What do I do? Do I throw it in the garbage? Or is there a way to salvage this device?

Actually i think you just need to reunlock using depixel8. That should unlock your bootloader and allow you to flash new firmware

My mind is blown on how you accomplished this. Did you ERASE the partitions and then plan on flashing stock ones yourself? Why not just run the script (flash-all.bat) that would have automatically done the ENTIRE process for you, except re-locking the bootloader?
If all you did was re-lock the bootloader, it should have done a factory reset on the next boot and used the existing system partition. If you erased the system partition and then re-locked the bootloader, you are almost certainly screwed and had better hope Google has some mercy to let you RMA the phone.
Couple options you could try off the top of my head. The pixel has A/B patitions try adb sideloading an update zip to get it to switch to the backup partition that might still be there.
You could also try downloading the Factory images and extracting the system and go into fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot boot system system.img
and see if that works. Then if it boots on the temp image run deadpixel8 or whatever its called and reflash the stock image with the flash-all.bat.
have the same problem on my pixel after accidentally relocking after root before flashing back to stock.
Does anyone have the stock pixel xl recovery.img? I thinking if I boot into recovery "fast boot boot recovery.img" then I can add side load etc the ota from google.

Hello guys, I'm on LineageOS. I want to go back to Oxygen OS. But I can't because of my locked bootloader.
I did try to connect with the pc via adb: "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it's says everytime bootloader is locked enable OEM. I know the OEM is in the Developer Options but not for me. It's not available.
What to do now?
Code:

Yes, that means it's not enabled in developer options.
Now you say you don't have that OEM option available in the developer options - are you sure you've turned developer options on? If not do as @gorillaCF says above.
If you have done that and still don't have the option then back everything up, do a factory reset and try again immediately after that.

LineageOS 15.1 doesn't have the OEM unlock feature. Normally, if you temper with the system and lock the bootloader it won't boot at all making this option useless. At least that's what I've experienced. As others stated you can only use the unbrick tool which will definitely work or contact OnePlus for an L2 technician who will use the same tool to do so.
So how did you do this? Did you do "fastboot oem lock" with TWRP and LineageOS on the device?

Normally, it is impossible to lock it without fastboot. Again, it's not LOS's fault. You should never lock your bootloader if on a custom ROM or modified system. I've been running LOS 15.1 for almost a week and never had such an issue.

Hey guys,
i just want to ask if there is a tested method to relock the bootloader of a rooted A2 Lite.
I use the stock rom, just unlocked and rooted it.
I've read something about the MiFlashTool and the Clean and Lock Option.
But I'm not sure about that, because the MiFlashTool is for Miui.
So what are the steps to relock the bootloader?

The MiFlashTool is also for the Stock Rom of the Mi A2 Lite (Not only MIUI!)
Download the Stock Rom and you can flash it via MiFlash. If you choose the option, you can relock the Bootloader when you do this.

Not sure if it would work, the cleanest way would be to download official fastboot ROM, flash it via MiFlash (select clean and lock option). This will erase all your data and turn your phone to stock ROM. I'm saying this is the cleanest way because you may have issues by unrooting and locking the phone. Maybe it would work. Unsure.

Ok, this was a misunderstanding
If you lock your bl at a modified system, you will get the message "your system got destroyed", I once had this. But I was lucky being able to unlock again... So no hardbrick... But doing all that leads to nothing. Btw. it's always useful to have an open bl... For example, if you mess up with a magik module and stuck @boot... Just ignore the stupid message of xiaomi!

Backup up everything first
Download MiFlash and the correct ROM (not OTA version)
Then you can flash the Stock ROM which will remove everything
You can also choose to leave unlocked or lock the bootloader (re-lock is selected by default)
As this is a somewhat new device I wouldn't tick the option to save your data.

want to put my p6p back to stock. currently rooted on stock firmware stock kernel etc. what's the best way to get it back to stock? do I need to flash back the stock boot image before I lock the bootloader?
Magisk has an option to unroot then you can lock the bootloader
Either as @spart0n proposed or flash the original factory image (for that I prefer to using the Android Flash Tool, using the fastboot method has so far always failed to work for me).... After that you are back on original stock and can proceed to relock the bootloader using "fastboot flashing lock" (detailed info on the above linked page)

Official Google Android Flash Tool, and then lock the bootloader after that.
Note that you should never lock the bootloader unless you're 100% stock, and flashing the full stock image is the only way of ensuring that, even if you choose to not let Official Google Android Flash Tool wipe your user data, as well.
ok thanks. so if I wasn't going to use the android flash tool, flash the full stock image, then lock bootloader?
