Had anyone tried it before?
After I unlock my bootloader using the official method, it is a silly way to unlock your Arc S bootloader. You will lost your DRM key and FOTA bricked, I learned my lesson. If you want to unlock your phone Testpointer method is obviously a better way.
So I relock my bootloader again using a common method you can find online:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20422618
fastboot flash -i 0x0fce getvar version
fastboot flash -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
Error: cannot load '0x0fce' is what I got after execute these command.
I am so desperate to get my bootloader unlock again.
Hello Guys
I have a question how to look bootloader?
Because maybe if i want to sell this phone or send to service i must have locked bootloader because they are checking if the bootloader is locked or not...
i think you need a locking code, have to ask huawei for that
then use the adb command to lock bootloader
+1
if find please post!
i found something
type this "fastboot oem relock YOUR CODE"
where YOUR CODE its the unlocking code provided by huawei
try and comment
anyways, the phone will say "relocked" not "locked" as factory locked.
Confusion?

Assuming you already have your code...
adb reboot bootloader
then when it's at the bootloader and it mentions "phone unlocked"
fastboot oem lock
The lock and relock confusion ... was this ever tested with the relock command? Is there a difference?
I tried to lock back the phone with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Phone got restarted into bootloader directly, without locking it. I read about this around the net, and found that the system may have to be unrooted in order to get the above command working.
I think, when you unlock your bootloader you never can how back.
once unlocked, always unlocked.
that is why they say you lose all warranty when you unlock your phone.
By the way, I tried to do the relocking with the TWRP Recovery installed. Maybe after reflashing a stock ROM, and flashing the stock recovery back, it'll work.
Does this work for anyone? Really need to lock my bootloader again and it's not working.

I think if you install a update.app of your stock firmware the bootloader will be locked..This may be work though I didn't check it yet.

Sadly not. Then bootloader is still unlocked.
As far as I know there's no way to relock the bootloader after unlocking it. By default it should allow such an operation, but looks like our fastboot framework was modified in this way.
works

For unlock your bootloader
The command is :
"Fastboot oem unlock *********"
For relock it
The command is
"fastboot oem relock **********"
The stars was your unlock/lock code from Huawei.
It's the only way, other's command was wrong.
Install update don't relock your bootloader and you can update with your bootloader unlock.
It's only necessary to relock it in case of warranty.
Having his bootloader unlock is a great help when you have bad trouble like brick or softbrick.
Also you have to know exactly what you are making on your device's. And you are the only one to blame for the modifications you make on your device's
Lock the bootloader with DCUnlocker... it'll lock the bootloader without the 'relocked' on the screen.

No...Not Will Be Locked
For relock it, you have to use your unlock code too.
In fastboot type
fastboot oem relock ************
(the stars is your unlock code)
And now your bootloader become green and locked.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
And now your bootloader (maybe, i don't know for sure) become green and RE-locked.
If you use DC-unlocker it only reads "locked"

We are talking about warranty, i think that huawei doesn't use DC-unlocker!
Could you brute force unlock the bootloader with trying random unlock codes with adb to unlock the bootloader?
I would like to confirm that dc unlocker can make M3 bootloader Relock to LOCKED.
This happen since I think to root device but realized that it is one way trip because we don't have stock recovery file.
So I use dc unlock to LOCKED bootloader after I relock it with fastboot.
Price is 4 Euro. (This task use 4 DC unlocker credit)
For how to done is on their website https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-lock-bootloader-from-relocked-to-locked.
(Don't get bootloader code with DC unlocker you can get it free on https://emui.com/cn/plugin/unlock/index )
Hi guys, I want to re-lock the bootloader of my Huawei P Smart FIG LX1 unlocked with PotatoNV. When I try to do the operation with adb "fastboot oem relock (or lock) 1111111111111111" I get this error message "failed: remote stat not match". But by entering the command "fastboot oem unlock 1111111111111111" the procedure is successful.
I also tried to install a stock rom but the bootloader remains unlocked. Thank you all!
Try to restore with stock recovery, it should relock it
