Hello.

Normally after relocking the bootloader on these phones it will say relocked. While debranding my phone I had the phone bootloader unlocked and rooted, with the untrusted boot up message. Half way through the debranded procedure I had massive issues with encryption and it not letting me past which took an age to sort out.
Once I passed that I managed to finish debranding the phone, but after flashing the the new firmware to the phone I stopped seeing the unlocked bootloader message, when I hadnt relocked the bootloader. When I checked, the bootloader was locked and frp was unlocked.
Everything is working fine with the phone, receiving updates, all themes working, everything working great.

I just don't fully understand how it's relocked itself, but Instead of it showing relocked it shows the original locked, but frp is now unlocked while the phone is locked, both originally said locked.

Anyone have any ideas. ????

Did you find out why frp doesn't go back to locked Instead of staying unlocked. I only ask because my NatWest app says i'm rooted or security settings have changed and won't let me log in via fingerprint. I wonder if it's because of this. ????


Edit. If you remove USB debugging and OEM unlock it relocks the frp lock.
