Sideloaded NDE63X, can I relock bootloader for my Verizon Pixel XL?

[Anthony825]

As the title states, I successfully sideloaded the most recent ota since I couldn't find a proper guide to flash the factory image (nor the proper image for that matter). Checking the kernel and what not everything appears to be stock, and I know I don't have root anymore or any of the apps that go with that.

This being said, will I be able to relock the bootloader? I need to return my phone to Verizon and want to make sure the phone is as factory as I can get so they don't get all up in my face about it.

or.....

Will the fact that my bootloader is unlocked but nothing else has been changed be acceptable to return the phone? Anyone know from experience?

I doubt they'd care but the warning when turning the device one might. Anyways, I believe after a flash of the full factory image, you should be able to relock the bootloader.

Don't hold me liable for anything, but I'm almost certain that you just need to be running stock everything.

I couldn't do the factory image flash. Couldn't find exactly everything I needed and didn't want to chance guesswork. So I side loaded the most recent ota and it appears I'm stock everything....

Hey man, you ever managed to relock your bootloader? I'm thinking of doing it too since I may need to RMA mine as well.
