I have flashed several custom roms to my L01A 4GB Single sim and flashed the stock B183 stock rom and locked my bootloader. Why is it that I did not receive the OTA updates from the built in updater for B197, B199 and B203? I had to use FF to get these three updates. Have I broken my built in OTA? Do I know have to rely on FF? Anyone who can help, thanks
Hi there, im currently on the leaked oreo beta on my A2017G but since this month there should be the official oreo out i wish to rollback to stock. Do i just need to flash latest rom on it? Do i need to relock the bootloader and remove twrp to get new ota updates?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-return-to-stock-custom-rom-t3634369 (like i also suggested at reddit )
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.

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?
My bootloader is locked I know how to unlock it and I understand that all my data will be gone I am okay with it I need the fastboot rom file for the android pie with December security patch and also will I get continuous updates via OTA after switching to a beta rom while in stable I don't have twrp and am not going to flash twrp too is there a way to flash it normally using miflash like Techrapt has done in his video unfortunately he did not provide link to rom or steps
Can anybody please provide the rom and steps and also confirm I will continue getting the OTA updates regularly like stock rom
Thank You
Bypass and install with Fastboot method

PD: Don't Downgrade to 8.1 or destroy your bootloader (bricked), ONLY update to oficial Pie 9.0.0
Thread moved to the correct location.
Please be careful with other threads you open.

I have Max Pro M2 rooted smartphone with original stock firmware I want to update its latest official version. Update via TWRP its says this is for asus_x01bd and this is X01BD and update fails...same happened through adb sideload . Previously I updated with stock recovery that time its not rooted. There older firmware available on website and Google which is flash able to phone the asus flash tool AFT. I have to update the newer version one by one after that I have to root that because it's not updated after root.
