Hey guys, I've been facing this issue for a while now and haven't been able to figure it out. On one screen, under diagnostics I find a meagre which tells me I have an update available for my device, where as on the other it tells me I'm up to date. Currently I'm running 5.0.2 My device is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. Have I in the process of trying to unlock my boot loader messed something up? Is there a place where I can get the latest firmware for my Indian Compact to flash using the software??
Thanks in advance

Sony updates won't work with unlocked bl. You'll have to use Flashtool/Xperifirm, or relock bl, then update.
Flashtool homepage here - http://www.flashtool.net/ Xperifirm is integrated in newer versions. Download fw with Xperifirm, then flash with Flashtool

You can flash the 2.3.4 update with flash tool or unlock your bootloader and install a custom rom

Hello there!
I have a locked H815 and I've had many issues with it, especially when I upgraded to 6.0 and V20D. I've got it back from repairs and it's been downgraded to Android 5.1.
I saw that it's ok to use LGUP and flash 5.1 and 6.0 firmwares and that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader nor root.
Now, I want to ask if I unlock my bootloader, will I still be able to receive OTA updates? Or updates through LG Bridge?
Also, if I install a custom ROM right now, will I be able to successfully flash the stock firmwares and have the phone as it was just with an unlocked bootloader?
Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I wanted to know.
Well I bought my zenfone 2 it's been 1 year ago, and on the end of 2016 I rooted it because I don't had hope on 6.0.1 update anymore since it was full of bugs. I still on 5.0 and now I want to update to 6.0.1 but I don't know how. My bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP I was planning on flash the stock recovery and then push the update but there is the problem. Can I update with unlocked bootloader? Or I'll need to lock it again then update? I really can't bare with the 5.0 firmware anymore and I need to update. But since I don't have a constant access to a computer I don't want to brick my phone.
Yes, I tried search for tutorials online but all I get is how to unlock bootloader on zenfone 2 on the 6.0 firmware and how to root it..but I don't get none answer to my question so I hope someone here can help me.

flash stock bootloader LP( boot, ifwi, recovery, fastboot). factory reset device. unlock bootloader with official app. and sideload latest MM. later on flash twrp.
Been trying to unlock my bootloader to no avail, but on the other hand, I can't seem to find a stock Nougat rom that I can install on stock recovery. Should I just return this phone, get a new one and obtain unlock code before updating to Oreo? Or is there any way to downgrade back to Nougat on locked bootloader?
Thanks.
I think it's possible with hisuite.

There is service rom that will flash with locked boooader, and one that is nougat. But it will leave you with strange build number. But should allow for dc-unlocker to read your code.
I was unaware that some trouble with reading the code in Oreo existed. But just got confirmation in other thread that service rom roll back helped
Thanks everyone, I ended up returning the phone and getting a new one. Read bootloader code from nougat, updated to oreo and unlocked everything no probs.

Bro.. How could u downgrade ur phone?? Mine is Indian variant bnd Al10c675
Question for those of you on L29 model w/ C636 region.
I purchased a bootloader unlocked EVR-L29 from a forum member here but don't want to bother him with more questions.
QUESTIONS:
-I am on version 9.0.0.7 I have tried manually updating within the phone itself but it says I am on latest version.
I downloaded latest HiSuite program on laptop and connected the phone to it using usb debug in dev mode. Still says on latest version. I have attempted to go into erecovery & force searching for an update. Which sorta worked but it just downloads the current version I am already on.
So I am guessing I am having these issues because it is bootloader unlocked?
I am guessing you bootloader unlocked guys have an alternate method of forcing an update?
If there is an alternate method I can use I am guessing it is best to incrementally update instead of pushing the latest build?
-Once fully updated to the latest build will the old root method still work on EMUI 9.1? Where we flash a recovery ramdisk as shown HERE?
If the answer is yes do you all flash a stock recovery ramdisk for L29 or a patched recovery ramdisk? What is the difference?
I unlocked the bootloader on my L29 and was on 9.0.0.208 and couldn't get the 9.1.0.300 OTA update until I used e-recovery to download and install 9.0.0.207. Once I did that the phone immediately received the 9.1.0.300 OTA update and then patch #1. I haven't rooted yet so I don't know if root survives the update. It might because the update didn't wipe anything.

Yup erecovery just keeps downloading and installing 9.0.0.207 and when the phone reboots I get no OTA. Odd. I'll try putting the sim card in to see if that helps since I'm using wifi
Update for any people in the future that have this problem.
NO METHODS WORKED except Dload method. Finally on .310 update.

I bought the phone already unlocked from a forum member that unlocked it back when the unlock codes were available.
