...I know. You've already said that. What I'm saying is that I don't understand why you didn't unlock the bootloader first, if you plan to anyways. Unless you just didn't think of it at the time. Anyways, It doesnt really matter.

[How to] Unlock the Nexus 9 Bootloader and Root
- Thread starter qbking77

FWIW, unlocking definitely voids the warranty. Here's the fine print:
[this limited warranty shall not apply]
12. to any Product in which the bootloader has been unlocked, or in which the operating system has been altered, including any failed attempts to unlock the bootloader or alter the operating system, regardless whether such modifications are authorized, approved, or otherwise sanctioned by HTC.
I wonder if they can tell it was unlocked if it is re-locked.
When I had my HTC M8 it posted a tampered flag once it was unlocked. Believe it showed in bootloader. Does it have knox (?) Like Samsungs tablets? I'm not unlocking until I'm damn sure it can be reverted back and I know I plan on keeping this tablet.
Does it show a flag anywhere after unlocking it?

Nop it looks exactly the same as locked
except it says unlocked
Only get tampered on HTC when flash recovery. Haven't tried on Nexus device. Even that flag can be removed if done correctly. If done correctly on HTC devices warranty is only voided if use HTC Dev to unlock as you blacklist your serial number. From what I can tell from previous devices actually only lose warranty if don't remove the unlocked and tampered tags before return.

Anybody tried relocking the bootloader?
On other HTC devices the bootloader will say "relocked" instead of "locked".
Message has been Baconized
That too. HTC M8 could show tampered, relocked, and for devolpment only blah blah blah.
Of course with s off most could be corrected. It just didn't leave you comfortable inside doing so. Again, I'm going to wait a little to see if there's a flag hidden and if so can we reset it.
Added a how to root video to the OP! Hope it helps.

Sweet, then no worries amigos, unless there's a hidden flag, they won't be able to see if we unlocked and customized the **** out of this bad boy
Lock also wipes data just like unlock.Sweet, then no worries amigos, unless there's a hidden flag, they won't be able to see if we unlocked and customized the **** out of this bad boy

Not so fast. Following the root thread apparently reflashing the factory image threw a flag.
Or more likely an action before the flash as there could be a legit reason to flash the image.
HTC is going to screw with you some way or another.

"Developer device not for sale"? ? I wonder how that message can be removed?
Can someone run
and see what that returns with? That's how you check the tamper flag on the nexus 4 and 5. It will probably be different on the N9, but it's worth checking.
