Im sure there has been a lot of discussion on this, but I am interested in experimenting a little on this issue and havent been able to find much through searching the forum.

What I have determined is that running "fastboot oem lock" asks to first disable the security before proceeding.

Running "fastboot getvar security" shows that the security variable is set to "on"

I'm assuming that the security is turned off by running a task command using "fastboot oem task(appropriate task number to disable security here)" the only issue is im not sure what the task number is for the nexus one and am too afraid to try some educated guesses for fear of bricking.

My thinking is that once the task number for disabling security is found, then we can run "fastboot oem lock" to re-lock the bootloader, then run the correct task number to re-enable security and done, phone is back in its original locked state. Am I over-simplifying this??? Would love to hear some thoughts.

Little searching and you can see that this question has been beaten to death, revived and beaten to death again and again...

Only those with the "Holiday" edition with the S-OFF on the bootloader can relock their N1's.

No one has been able to find a way around this with non-holiday editions (the retail version).
