quick question, I have the chinese axon 7 which I just unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted and im siting on Marshmallow B13.
How would I go about updating to B16?
Does someone have the B16 that I can just flash in TWRP?

I am curious about these issues, my question is the following when I unlock my Bootloader I can do an update via OTA when it arrives on my device? Or is my phone going to have Hard Brick?
I want to give a Downgrande on my smartphone but it is still in stock without any modification. And through the tutorials I read ask for the unlock Bootloader. My intention is to only downgrade. A friend of mine gave the following idea: "unlock the bootloader to then downgrade and after it has been successfully done." I search how to lock the bootloader again using CMD to put a system with the bootloader locked and so in the future I will be able to receive updates via Ota. " Does This Worker Ideas In Practice?
This my Frist Post here If I make a mistake, tell me, we will not repeat.:fingers-crossed:
When it comes to being able to receive updates when bl is unlocked, that's a yes, it will work fine and won't affect your phone's functionality.
On the other hand downgrading is generally a bad idea. The problem is, when you update your phone your bootloader also gets an update. All parts of the OS except for the bootloader can be downgraded to a previous version, and if you do that, the downgraded OS can function normally on the newer bootloader.
Now comes the tricky part. If you try to do an OTA on a downgraded OS with a new bootloader, the OTA will treat the bootloader as if it were the old one, and will overwrite parts of it that it shouldn't, which will corrupt it. And there you have a pricey paperweight.
The only way of updating a downgraded device is to flash it clean with a newer version (or the version same as the bootloader).
Now what is the reason you'd want to downgrade?
After Unlocked Bootloader You Can't Get OTA Updated Even You Relock Bootloader ., tested On Moto G5s
Model X1795
However During try to Relock or downgrade Oreo 8.1 to 7.1.1 You May Get Complete Dead Your Phone as my phone goes During downgrade .

My bootloader is unlocked.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware and because I was rooted I flashed the firmware I was on at that moment (no down - or upgrade) again and after that I was able to apply and install every single OTA up to the latest. I could have flashed the latest Oreo firmware directly too but I wanted to test this way and to update by flashing latest firmware would have been possible after that too.
So updating via OTA with an unlocked bootloader was no problem for me.
In the end you get the unlock code from Motorola itself and it would be kind of strange if they won't deliver updates anymore for a feature they provide for their devices.

This is a thread for potter (Moto G5+) so your question most probably won't be answered here.

I am planning on to unlock bootloader only will I continue recieving official updates from Samsung and able to install them (not flashing that, OTA ones). I am not going to install custom recovery or kernel or even custom rom. Will it work that way?
Hey guys , hope you all are doing well. As we know the bootloader of S7 series has been updated to version 3 and we cannot easily downgrade ap back to nougat or earlier versions and bootloader version is permanently non downgradeable and we are stuck with oreo firmware with latest patch.. so whoever got updated to v3 bootloader, please post their issues and findings in this thread and were you successfully able to flash back to earlier bootloader incase of issues ? Also how does it effect root..
Hi guys, i have this Huawei P10 Lite (no brand) that is stuck on
Firmware Version : NRD90M test-keys.
Sadly I cannot update :crying:, the system version is
Nougat 7.0 with security patches of 5th July of 2017.
In 2017, i bricked that phone ‘cause i installed a wrong firmware (with TWRP), then i installed a firmware that now i cannot remember and i got the service rom. I wanna know if there is a way to upgrade the firmware (the boot loader is unlocked) to an official one. The recovery installed is the stock one, eRecovery
Thanks.
P.S.
please help me now because i’m stuck in this situation and i cannot update since 2017 ?
