Relocking the bootloader (Returning to complete stock) - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hey guys.
I have just unlocked the bootloader on my p9 and am about to flash TWRP and root. It got me thinking:
Is there a way to return it to complete stock if want to just in case? I've seen firmware lying around on the forum, but does it return the phone completely to stock? And in that case, how do exactly do I flash it?
And furthermore, is there a way to backup the stock recovery image?

Yes, you can unlock/lock bootloader, procedure is similar...
And you can flash stock recovery again, is not need to backup, around is a toolkit who do what you want (unlock/lock, root, flash stock recovery etc)...

Yes, flashing the stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/stock-firmware-links-t3468245) will relock the bootloader

Return to stock with unlocked boot loader?

Is there an easy way to return to the latest stock rom or the one before the latest? When I received the M I have it didn't have the stock rom on it or a backup of the stock rom so I was hoping there was a way to return to stock but still keep my unlocked boot loader and re-root.
My goal is to return to stock, root, install recovery, make a backup so I have a stock backup then flash the current rom I'm using now. If anyone has or could tell me the steps I need I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose the boot loader unlock so I won't be able to install roms

It's impossible to re-lock your bootloader. You can use Avi's solution, you can flash the FXZ from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php and re-root witth Motochopper or by flashing SU in recovery, or you can use Matt's utility 1.20 to flash to stock. There is also a pre-rooted, de-bloated ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408763 and stock flashable ROM here http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=devs/mhous33/XT907.
Your easiest bet is to use Avi's solution or flash one of the last 2 ROMs I listed. If you FXZ back to stock or use Matt's utility, you'll need to re-install your aftermarket recovery. With the last 2 ROMs, they can simply just be flashed in your aftermarket recovery.

safestrap vs flashfire and locked bootloader?

Hi,
I am running on rooted stocked OC4. This was done following the instruction which uses Flashfire to flash ROM and then ODIN to flash bootloader.
I am now looking to flash custom ROM (T-Mobile ROM specifically). From what I can read, the suggestion is to use safestrap which get around the locked boot loader in order to flash ROM.
However, there has been no update for saftstrap on 5.0.
Flashfire was able to flash stock ROM. Does it mean it has ways to get around locked bootloader?
Thanks

Thanks in advance.
Well, I finally managed to do it.
I had Flyme.
I simply flashed stock recovery (from faust93 repo: http://xep.8800.org/pro5/).
And then flashed Flyme with the locked bl to leave it as new.

TWRP

You can flash AFT ROM through fastboot mode. It'll revert everything back to stock, including recovery. You can download everything here.
