Simply obtaining the bootloader unlock key WILL void the warranty. Please read the actual “fine print” legal terms and you will see language such as: “Once you get the unlock code, you are on your own.”. That is, getting the code (even if you don’t actually unlock the bootloader with it) voids your warranty and support from Motorola. Re-locking the bootloader does nothing in terms of warranty.
