Possible to relock bootloader? - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Is it possible to relock bootloader with stock recovery but with a custom rom like lineage os? It'd be really great to know how to do it if possible.

I think not a good idea

Of course you can, just flash stock service firmware. Ive done it many times.

but i cant flash recovery firmware
if you a link for fastboot can you provide

What I want to do is not revert to stock but just have stock recovery and other than that no root and a custom rom would I be able to lock the bootloader in this condition

First time building a ROM

I really want to put a custom ROM on my phone (Asus ZenFone Laser 2 - ZE500KL), obviously without bricking it. Because I can't find RessurectionRemix or LineageOS already built, I'm going to try building by myself.
I can't find any good tutorials, but I tried this one, but I got an error right when installing the libraries... Because I know no one is going to build it for me, can someone suggests a step by step tutorial? (I have amateur Linux skills, I'm not any pro, but not any noob)
You can find LineageOS/AOKP/RR for ZE500KL here. here
Make sure you get the Z00ED version.

Well, I found that post but didn't notice there was an "Z00ED" in the title... By the way, some steps would be good to install it, because if I brick this, I'm dead... I know the steps, but making sure of them would be great...

You unlock the bootloader then you flash TWRP.. After that you wipe DATA/CACHE/DALVICK CACHE and you flash your ROM and GAPPS (ARM64).

So, if something go wrong in the process, I would just need to do the exact same process but with the stock ROM right?
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked before flashing twrp, go to fastboot and type this
fastboot oem device-info
if you see this -->> (bootloader)Device unlocked: true
then you are unlocked, then proceed to flash your device twrp latest version.

(Sorry for these questions, but I have to make sure of everything)
Yes, It's unlocked. Tomorrow I'll try flashing TWRP and then Lineage OS...
I found the TWRP here.
If someone could give feedback about this site I would be grateful!

You need to flash the stock recovery and then flash the stock ROM. There are plenty of tutorials on XDA to help you with that so don't worry.. You can find more in the General section of this forum

The second on (androidfilehost)
Before installing make sure you are on Android 6.0 and you unlocked your bootloader using the official unlock: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE500KL/0518-1134_SIGNED_UnlockTool_ZE500KL_AndroidM.apk
You should find your twrp here in xda or twrp.me

(The bootloader is unlocked)
Just 2 more things I wanna make sure:
1. Do I need to root to flash LineageOS?
2. On that LineageOS post, what is the AOKP? xD I already checked the website but I didn't get what it is, and if it comes with the ROM...
You dont need to root because the rom is already pre rooted. But you can change root to SuperSU or PHH Superuser if you want.
AOKP are custom ROM developers/modders.

1: you don't need to root
2: AOKP is a custom ROM based on CyanogenMod/LineageOs but with extra features (Like Resurrection Remix has)
Thank you very much to everyone, Im just rocking LineageOS 14.1 on my smartphone! Until now, no errors!

Welcome to XDA!!
To install custom ROM, you will need to have a S-OFFed device to do so. S-OFFing need hardware tools, and it cost money. XTC2Clip and FireWater are the two known S-OFF tools that work on D820 for now.

If so, why dont you ask that guy from The Mainland forum, he should be the most well known of his own ROM.
Afaik, without S-OFF you can hardly do any modification to the system.

OTA (Over The Air) and flashing ROM are of totally two different thing, OTA came from HTC herself while ROM are created by people like us. So now which one is you proceed to do, OTA or flashing ROM?

Yes, you can search the web with your phone's CID and download the corresponding fw, after that rename the zip according to your phone MID, and place it onto your external SD Card, then boot into bootloader. The fw should be automatically flashed then.

Want to know if it is suitable or not? Use your CID to identify!
A TWRP backup can fix almost everything but not all.

I can probably see right now, you've done it wrong... Download stock rom from huawei.consumer... For some reason i thought it's gonna be android MM, but it was android N, so no problem here, just download stock rom and you will have newest android.
You probably downloader rom from xda, rom it's in .zip right? And you tried to flash it with TWRP?

Yesterday I had this issue, it's more easy than it seems. In Revolution Recovery for Nougat, flash the update.app ZIP with 6.0 , it will show you a lot of errors, but don't worry, it's ok. After this flash than DUALSIMOEM.zip and after that shutdown your phone and use the 3 buttons method to automatically ,,update" to B161.

My Zuk Z1 has died (it's always rebooting and I've already done every type of wipe)

Hey guys. My Zuk Z1 is always restarting. I've tried everything I could think: tried every type of wipe, tried to let it discharge, etc. etc.
What should I do? I was thinking to install a ROM (which one do you recommend to me) or to flash the original firmware (that by the way is what I've installed at the moment on my phone) with Odin.
In case I should install a ROM, could you tell me if there will be in the future the possibility of flashing the original firmware with Odin so that I can take advantage of the warranty? Thanks.

Thank you. But.. is there a way to flash the original firmware? I'm going to send my smartphone to customer service so I can use the warranty and get it repaired and I'm afraid they won't repair it if I have a custom ROM (as I've always knew that you lose the warranty if you don't have the original firmware).

Hello guys.
I had bootloader unlocked and installed lineage os 15.1 then i went back to the stock firmware and unlocked the bootloader.
The system is working fine but problem is the theme manager.
Whenever i install a new theme an apply it nothing happen, even if I tried ti change the icon pack nothing happen. The same theme, same wallpaper, same icons, same everything.
Any idea? Please help I hate the stock icons.
