ok, I have Moto Z play XT1635-02 and when I purchased the device it had MM installed, I dont remember the exact version. tired to wait for the nougat update I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP from alberto, then I installed a stock nougat ROM from @flashallthetime (7.1.1). before that I created a NANDROID backup with all the configurations I had in MM. as you can see I never touched the bootloader, but now I want to install a custom ROM with Android Oreo, but it requires a nougat bootloader, I guess my bootloader is from MM, so, my question is: can I restore the NANDROID backup, download a MM stock firmware and just flash the recovery, so I can get the OTA's again and get my bootloader updated to nougat?
thanks in advance

Bootloader being LOCKED or RELOCKED is not a requirement for OTA.
You need stock ROM, stock recovery, and that is all. Root is okay, and unlocked bootloader is okay (but LOCKED or RELOCKED will also work).
You sure LP has rolled out for your version of the M8? What version is it, and what region are you located?

No, you do not want to do that (install a 5.0 stock ROM with a current 4.4.4 setup). Reason being, your firmware will not be updated to Lollipop firmware.
What you want to do, is go to the stock backup thread, find the stock 4.4.4 ROM and stock recovery for your CID. Restore stock ROM and flash stock recovery, then OTA to 5.0. OTA will update your firmware. This is assuming your CID has rolled out Lollipop.

Hello guys,
following situation:
Long time I had a 4.4.something Rom installed. Before I flashed a custom Lollipop rom, I followed the advice to just go back to stock and let it update to Lollipop so that the firmware will be updated accordingly and I won't run into problems when flashing a Lollipop Custom Rom. Everything worked fine. Now I had to send my phone to HTC for display repair and just to make sure they won't nag about the custom Rom I reflashed some older stock rom via TWRP backup I found here, I think it was a 4.0 or so. The question is, does this also affect my phones firmware or is it still on the current newest level? So when I get it back, would I need to update to stock Lollipop again before flashing a custom rom or can I go for it straight away?

It won't affect your firmware.
Okay thanks, so Firmware should still be up to date and I can flash a Lollipop Custom Rom. I don't know what they do at HTC repair, if they only reset it or if they also update it, well I'll see.
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.

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.
Hey all,
Is it possible to relock bootloader and restore stock recovery? I have stock room with root and twrp but want to revert back to full stock. Anyone know if that is possible currently?
I'm pretty sure the only stock firmware that has been released for this device is the Chinese variant. If you're on the L24 variant like I am there is no way to get back to stock of you rooted and installed twrp unless you made your own backups.
I made my own backup from stock but would like to make sure I get any OTAs. I assume I need to get back to a locked bootloader?
Nope. I have an unlocked bootloader and I just got an OTA yesterday. Installed with no problem. The twrp is a definite reason why one wouldn't be able to install ota and I'm not 100% sure but I think that being rooted is another although I've read conflicting stories about the root part.
