Bootloader relock?

[RPK925]

Hi I have a attic that has a data problem and am going to return it to warranty, I want to try out 2.3.4 but you need to unlocked the bootloader, but is there a way to relock it so I can still have it under warranty. Also I have been trying to flash the 1.26 SBF file from www.bandinnovations.com and everytime I try to unzip it says broken something or other. Is there another link to try? Thanks

Look for 1.26 in the dev section

They probably won't even check. I warranted mine yesterday because my fingerprint scanner was peeling. I was rooted with gingerblur, and couldn't even do a factory reset, so I had to go into Android Recovery and wipe data from there, but the rep didn't even ask what I was doing, or anything. DSCs (Device Support Centers) are usually franchise stores; in other words, they don't really care too much, just there for their $8/hr.

No way to relock after unlocking the bootloader. It's a hardware lock/unlock, not software.

It may be spotted at AT&T store or service center. If they turn the phone on the first thing they will see is "unlocked" in the upper left corner. Per what it says when you unlock your phone, this "MAY" void your warranty. Don't listen to advice saying they won't care at the service center. The one where I live does everything they can to get your phone back working before replacing it. Been there a couple of times.

You can remove the "unlocked" in the boot screen by flashing back to 4.1.26, 4.1.57, etc., but the phone is still unlocked, it just won't say unlocked anymore unless you reflash the unlock, after which it will be on the boot screen again.

I would say if you are returning it, don't unlock the bootloader.
