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.

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

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.
Hi everyone
Question for professionals and experienced people I hope to get a reliable answer on this matter
1- What do I lose when opening a bootloader other than air update and payment and warranty service?
2- Is it possible to return to the official status and receive air updates?
Thanks everyone in advance
Can't say for sure but you should still get OTA; if not you'll get full ROM zips delivered via OTA instead of the smaller chunk/patch updates.
The main thing is banking apps and Google Pay. Widevine should be OK. On mine it's L1 so still A-OK for Netflix/etc.
OTA updates work also if bootloader is unlocked. Idem for payement and warranty service...
If you root the phone it isn"t the same story.
Mine is rooted and OTA updates work. I download the update BUT I unroot the phone before installing it.
It"s possible to relock the bootloader but no need to do that...
PS: Unlocking bootloader resets the phone (Back up what you need before).
Unlock bootloader means no more hd on netflix n stuff.
Widevine stay L1 but netflix will failed to load unless you delete smthing n widevine drop to l3

Read carefully the forum! It seems people had problems by flashing a wrong global rom. I can't help you more because I've got MI9T Pro and didn't read a lot about that.

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.

Search in the guides section, there's a guide for it somewhere
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???

Yup, you should get OTA updates if you flashed stock rom and relocked your bootloader

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!
