once you unlock and relock, you can't received OTA anymore. same like mine. need to try unlock and relock EDL method but I'm so lazy to try

Can't you just flash the full OTA in fastboot? I know you can flash the zip files off ASUS' site through TWRP.

Once you unlocked your bootloader then your IMEI number becomes blacklisted by Asus OTA server. Which means relocking bootloader will not bring OTA back. You are stuck with manual flashing every update with zip or fastboot.
It even stated clearly in the description on Asus website where you download the tool that OTA will no longer work once you unlock your bootloader. Also warranty will be voided once you do it aswell.

[Q] Official Update after Bootlaoder unlock?

I have read that Sony Phones wont be able to update via OTA update once the bootloader is unlocked. I just got my HTC One and since i dont want to loose all my data, I want to unlock the bootloader right now. Will I still be able to receive the OTA 4.2 update for the one once my bootlader is unlocked?
I dont have experience with locked bootloaders as my previous phone was an old samsung that came with bootloader unlocked(not anymore).
Thanks for the help in advance.
If you have the bootloader unlocked, you will not receive the OTA.
P.s. If you will unlock your bootloader, you will lose all your data
Thank You

How to go back to stock and relock the Bootloader?

Hello
i have to sell my device so i want to get it to stock again.
My current Setup:
Bootloader Unlocked, Stock Recovery, Rooted with Magisk, Stock ROM 9.0.0.283
What are the Steps to go Back to Stock and wipe everything?
Ive read that if the bootloader relock again it is not able to unlock the second time? Is this correct? I want to get the Unlock Code to the person who buy it but if its real, he cant use the code anymore..
anyway is it possible to do the job with the Stock E-Recovery in the current state of my phone? Without bootloader Relocked? Or is it necessary to relock the bootloader again?
Thank you very much

Ask the buyer if they want it locked. Personally it wouldn't be worth my time if it couldn't be unlocked again. Better to check first..
If you want to lock (not relock) bl justdownload your adequate firmware from androidhost.ru and flash fw using Usb-otg method.
You can unlock/lock your bl using unlock code anytime you want (provided you haven't changed your mainboard in the meantime).

I thought you wanted to go back to stock. I've already gave you solution to bring back all the way stock.
I m not sure if it's even possible to re-lock bootloader using fastboot when you're on pie.
Bootloader status re-locked still means your warranty is void.

If I try it with the dload folder option and try to force flash the emui updater throws an error.
Even with the dialer code method.. same..
I'm not able to get it to stock.
I've tried the Huawei suite on PC and phone in fastboot mode..same..massage this phone can't be reset or so..
What can I do next?
Current state, halfway working phone that's boot into os 2 times from 10 reboots.

I want to go back to stock CN to be able to get OTA's (TENCENT)

HI.
I am currently using the Tencent verions 8/128gb rog phone 2.
My bootloader is unlocked and i am running the latest WW rom with WW fingerprint.
I want to go back to the original factory state so that i may be able to get the Updates via OTA.
I want to go back to the original CN version and be able to get the OTAs
I read in some posts that Once bootloader has been unlocked. There is no way to get ota anymore. Whether it be cn or ww.. even if you lock the bootloader again??? is that true?
Can someone answer/help me get back to the stock/original factory rom.
i have attached the detailed snapshots showing my current version
First you will never get any OTA updates because you unlocked the bootloader.
Second stay on WW better for you no need to get back to CN there is no updates about 2 month ago.

Whats the benefit of locking the bootloader again, when there is no chance of Auto OTAz anyways?

Does not work like that. It states clearly on Asus bootloader unlock tool, doing bootloader unlock will permanently disable OTA updates. Since your IEMI number will be automatically black listed from their OTA server. So even if you re-lock your bootloader you still won't receive any OTA updates.

Don't ask me ask asus. Since they are stating this clearly on their information about their tool.
Also unlocking bootloader does not change IMEI number. That's why doing OTA with re-locked or unlocked bootloader won't give you anymore OTA.
And yes I have seen people saying updates through OTA no longer works once bootloader is unlocked.

Keep in mind relocking your bootloader won't get you any OTA updates anymore. You will have to manually flash your device from now on, since your IMEI is blacklisted by Asus OTA server.

Is there a way to lock it again with my current firmware sir? My God I done very stupid things today. I don't even know how to flash a firmware manually. I just follow things on YouTube. But I'm a bit techy so if there's a way sir, please share it.

About OTA updates after unlocking and re-locking bootloader

So I unlocked my bootloader a week ago in order to root my Samsung galaxy M21 Android 11 One UI 3.1, but since the steps were unclear and I was kinda scared I just ditched the idea of rooting. So I searched on Reddit and etc, once you unlock bootloader whether you get OTA updates. There were mixed answers, but then I found a thread saying that I could re-lock the bootloader so I went with the tutorial and re-locked it!!! My question is once you unlock and then lock the bootloader again will you get OTA updates or not???

I actually unlocked the bootloader on my Mi 10T Pro 5G and then after a few weeks I decided to re-lock it. I installed the stock fastboot ROM and the locked the bootloader with the "fastboot oem lock" command. Will I still receive OTA updates? Thanks!
