Is there anyways to update to Oreo and keep root or root while on it? On this device of course. I know it has a locked bootloader I just wasn't sure if this was possible via flashfire or something. Also I have seen a lot of tutorials on how to update to the beta

I am planning to root my ZE551ML. I have .194 firmware.
Will it work fine to root using method 3 with my current firmware? And I can update OTA if ever there's an update right?
Another thing, will I be forced to reset my phone or wipe data? I hope not coz most of my accounts like steam, etc. are already linked.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate all input as I am still learning.
I hope to receive any response..
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader or reset/wipe your phone's data(like me) then use method 2 from this link:

Guys, I want to know whether the Asus official bootunlocker tool can be used in the MM .111 beta build.
Also, can I move to cm 13 directly from MM beta build after unlocking bootloader??....or should I downgrade to lollipop to do so....??

There's no official asus bootloader unlocking tool for any MM rom coz there's no official MM rom for zf2. So you should to downgrade to official LP
and then you should unlock boorloader and then you can install whatever you want.
Hi,
I have rooted P10 Plus L29. Currently, it is on B133 and I want to update to B162. I did some research on how to update and found several methods (Link ).
I used HWOTA method when I update from B131 to B133 but unfortunately the bootloader is locked again after updated. To unlock bootloader, it will wrap all data from the device.
So, I just curious about the other method whether it will lock bootloader or not. Any suggestions on this?
Imho it is not possible to update without relocking bootloader.
So recently huawei released android oreo on the p10 lite and i want to get the ota update but i rooted my phone so i searched online how to install ota updates on a rooted phone and i clicked on the first guide available in there it said that i could use flashfire to install ota updates and sure i installed flashfire and opened in and the first thing i see is a warning along these lines : Warning for huawei devices it is really easy to hard brick huawei devices by installing custom roms and frimwares and it is strongly advised against unless you consult with an expert. I do understand this is an ota update and is not a custom rom or firmware but i am still very worried as i dont have cash to get a new phone if i hard brick this one. Thanks in advance!
Sorry for posting this in q and a it says my post count is too low to post in roms and kernels section.
You can't flash the firmware in flashfire or you will brick your device.
Try upgrade your device using this method.

I've never seen this method shouldn't i just flash the original recovery through fastboot and perform the ota update and then re-root my phone?
So I installed Oreo soak test on Moto G5 plus which was shared by link over stock Nougat build with august security patch.But i want to go back to nougat with august security patch from this soak test build...How can i do that without bricking and losing imei etc.I have not rooted or unlocked bootlader ever...and yes i read some threads but none of them are matching my current situation ,so please guide me through proper process .
Well I'm in the same situation. And I was having wifi issues. Bt I managed to fix it. From what I've read so far you cannot downgrade the bootloader. So you can flash using fastboot bt leave out the gpt and bootloader commands. I'm not sure if this will let you download OTAs. I haven't tried it out yet. Or if u manage to get the C092 bootloader unlocked ( some people managed) then you install TWRP and flash a stock nougat zip. Or you will have to wait for someone to capture the actual 85-16 OTA , make a zip of it and then update. There was a guide for flashing, it was for g4 series to downgrade from N to MM, the commands should be the same. Hope this helps.
Can anyone share official oreo update zip?Not talking about soak test one.
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?

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?
