As far as I know, this is not possible. Well, technically it is possible but it will prevent your phone from booting since SFOS don't have a kernel signed by Sony. There's a thread over at TJC about that where someone mentioned that, so let's hope Jolla comes up with a solution.

Being able to relock the bootloader would also be great from a security point of view.
I was horrified at the ominous warning screen that was thrown at me in the startup when the bootloader is unlocked!
In all other android devices I have seen (not many though) there is just a very small-font discreet mentioning of an unlocked bootloader in the upper or lower corner of the device screen...

Shame on you Sony for making it so ugly!
Just like the openmode-warning on N9 was. Plain user harassment IMHO.

I wonder if there is possibility for a similar fix to it like we had in N9, where it was enough to remember to remove the warning before booting an unsigned kernel...?
