I have finally locked my bootloader. After many failed attempts, I've realized doing the next:

Flash a Stock Firmware (most probably an old version)
Boot it and apply all system updates.
Reboot into Bootloader
Run fastboot oem lock
Boot noramlly :D

And before that, I was able to unlock and lock the bootloader without a problem. Yesterday something strange happened. I entered fastboot mode, you unlocked the bootloader because I can't flash the stock on locked, I installed the latest version from the August patch and strange things started to happen. After starting the phone and entering the updates, I have information about the patch from August, but it also says that the integrity of the software has been compromised and I will not get updates. It is written that I would like to contact the service center to re-program the device. So I went into fastboot again and threw the June patch version. But now I have a situation that. I can not lock the bootloader because when I do it with the fastboot OEM lock command, the phone does not start and gets a message that the device is damaged. Only after unlocking the bootloader can I start the phone.

Its nothing. You first need to flash stock ROM from fastboot and then when your ROM normally.
You now need to have Lenovo rescue tool installed on your sytem. After skipping initial setup in stock ROM,
attach your phone to computer and open Lenovo rescue tool. It will ask for permissions. From there you need to go to rescue option. Once there, the tool itself going to guide you. It will now download the latest stock ROM. Have some patience. Once downloaded just let it flash the stock ROM.
After it finishes flashing and your phones boot to stock ROM. Just go to fastboot again and relock bootloader again. This should work now.

Anybody knows if there is a youtube video for this process? Or any most exhausted step by step list.
