Hello XDA just had a question I wanted to clear up. I've had my z play -02 variant for a while now and I'm currently running lineage is 15.0. Just wanted to know if there is a way to get back to complete stock? I know the bootloader can't be locked, but is there a way to regain stock and still get motos ota's? Or is it impossible to get ota's after you've unlocked the bootloader?
OTA is working on unlocked device with STOCK ROM.
Try to flash STOCK ROM via fastboot or RSD tool.
Warning: do not try to flash MM version, OTA update from MM to N cause hard brick.
Try to flash latest 7.1.1 STOCK. I used this stock rom https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620757667 on my 1635-02 RETEU dualsim version.

Thank you!
When I try to flash it, rsd tool doesn't recognize my phone (probably because I'm in Windows 10) what's the command to flash it via fastboot?
you must be in bootloader mode for flashing.
maybe you do not have important drivers installed. I am using - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
look at this before installing drivers https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
adb commands are different for each version of stock rom, because stock roms have different files to flash.
sorry for my english.

Hello all developers, I have a noob question, please guide. I have ZenFone 2 running on stock android 5.0 and it is rooted. Now I have to flash custom roms and mods but also want to update stock Rom to android 6.0 whenever ASUS provide updates. So I have a simple idea as below -
1) Install flashify app.
2) Take backup of stock recovery.
3) Flash CWM.
4) Take nandroid backup.
5) Now I can flash custom roms.
6) When ASUS provide updates, flash nandroid backup.
7) Flash stock recovery through Flashify.
8) Full unroot from supersu.
Thus my phone will be fully stock and I can update stock Rom to android 6.0 .
Will this trick work; please tell. I am eagerly waiting for your replies.
[emoji4] Thank you [emoji4]
you have to unlock bootloader if you want to flash custom rom !!!
if you unlock bootloader with official tools. you cant receive any update from asus with OTA. but you can flash full stock rom with twrp via sideload or edit stock rom zip then install with twrp.
somebody can unlock bootloader without official tools (i dont try) and they can update OTA
srr my english

Thank you very much for the information. Btw, can I make changes to stock Rom without unlocking bootloader and revert back to fully stock phone when OTA comes with the above method ?

just root and xposed. but you can receive OTA until unroot and delete xposed (if you know how to)
In short, I have a SM-T800 on 4.4.2 stock. I have TWRP installed. The problem is the USB is out of order, it's just busted on hardware level, so I can't use ODIN or ADB or anything requiring USB.
Does there exist a way to flash the device upwards (maybe to 6.0.1) with only these tools available? I can't get OTA updates due to the custom recovery.
I've tried flashing with FlashFire a stock 5.0.2 firmware from samsung-updates, but FlashFire can't flash the bootloader, and the SM-T800 needs a bootloader upgrade to go over 4.4.2. The flash resulted in softbricking, but I've managed to return back to working 4.4.2.
Basically what I need (I would imagine) is a TWRP flashable package, which includes the bootloader.

There is literally no way to flash the bootloader except by official means.
Kingroot is able to root most LL roms.
So if you go back to complete stock you can take the OTA and get the LL bootloader.
The thing I'm not sure about is if you will be offered the LL update or just the MM update.
Once you have the LL bootloader you will be able to root and install MM via FF.

Thanks, I'll have to go back to stock recovery then and see after if I can get rooted without USB after that, will see.
But how do you get back to stock if your on a custom room. I can't seem to get the right file to work. Everytime I try and extract and do it through Odin it fails
So, I'm still in lollipop blobs and would like to update to marshmallow. Can I just flash the latest mm stock rom to any stock recovery? Or do I need to flash the first mm stock rom release before flashing the latest stock?
Edit: Does upgrading to mm makes the bl locked?
Hello,
You could grab the latest full stock MM to the root of SD card and let FOTAService to detect it and choose the package. It'll automatically reboot to recovery to flash updates.
I successfully updated to stock MM .134 from .196 LL without relocking bootloader. Some may have their bootloader re-locked.

I updated to Q by flashing via fastboot. I am not happy with it. I tried to downgrade by flashing a stock image via fastboot but I get an error saying the wrong BL is installed. It's asking for an older version.
How can I flash this older version? Or, better yet, how can I flash a stock image or custom ROM of Android Pie without encountering an error?
I've searched and everything I tried from what I found still results in the version error.
If I remember correctly, you'll need to flash using the flash-all script so that it overwrites everything.

You can only downgrade with an unlocked bootloader. Downgrading without can brick your p3xl. After unlocking you can flash the 9.0 firmware and you won't have any bootloader or partition errors it will just work.
I'm using rooted stock ROM, tried a few GSI but none of them had working NFC which I use a lot.
Anyway have had the update software thing flashing at me for some weeks now, would like to upgrade to the latest OTA.
Obviously the OTA doesn't work on unlocked bootloader.
How can I update my software? If I flash just System in fastboot will that work? Or is there some way to make the OTA work or convert the OTA into a flashable zip?
Thanks.

You can use ota update with unlocked bootloader, just root is an issue.
I would use LMSA'S Flash Rescue option
It will flash newer firmware and the you can reroot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/update-moto-lenovo-moto-smart-assistant-t3951714
Or you can flash with fastboot or mfastboot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-flashing-motorola-firmware-t4042039
Still will need to reroot
