How To Lock Bootloader?

[CoronaDabs]

I want to lock my bootloader so I can use android pay, but when I run fastboot oem lock it still says unlocked. Plz tell me how to relock the bootloader. Thanks

Specifically on my HTC a9 I can lock or unlock my bootloader through developer menu. Looking to root with a custom rom. I'm new to the game and have never done it before.

You cannot lock or relocked bootloader from developer options, I think you are talking about allow oem unlocking which means you turn a setting on or off to allow the bootloader to be unlocked

If you are on Android nougat, you cannot relock bootloader, you have to downgrade first

If I downgrade then lock the boot loader can I still flash the nougat ruu on my phone with a locked bootloader?

Yes you will be able to flash nougat just fine

If you are aiming for Android pay, locking the bootloader isn't the way to go. Just install magisk v10, not 11, with phhs superuser on stock or lineage. Then enable magisk hide from settings

It would be TWRP 3.0.3-beta 3 or something like that, also if you are already running a root, disable it, and flash magisk.zip, it will install superuser from there and you can install the phhs superuser manager form the play store

Do you mean that locking the bootloader won't allow Android pay to work? Or are you saying it's easier to just root and use the magisk to hide it?

I am asking, because I'm in the same boat as the OP. I switched to the dev version from at&t and don't need root or TWRP, so I'd be fine downgrading, locking and upgrading if that would get me Android pay again.
