I've searched and looked at a couple of guides, etc. but am still unsure: How can I get my Verizon Note 4 up to date with latest Marshmallow? I have seen some guides that say that flashing the official rom will lock the bootloader - I'm assuming this isn't a problem for Page Plus?
My phone is from ebay, but unmodified as far as I can tell.

Since you're not going to get an OTA the way I would do it is to drop this file (Thanks, hsbadr!) on your SD card, boot into recovery and flash the update.zip. You can do the same with this file (thanks again, hsbadr!) to bring yourself up to date. The second file is the monthly Android security update. That will leave you with a locked Marshmallow bootloader. If it is your intention to unlock a Marshmallow bootloader, that is not how I would do it.
This is how I would do it. Follow the directions closely.

Thanks for being so helpful. I have flashed custom roms, rooted, etc with other phones, but I don't have plans for this one just yet. I suppose it's best to have the option in the future. I saw a thread with links to the OTA upgrade files - can they be downloaded and upgraded manually?

Use the first two links I gave you, drop the files one at a time starting with the first one, boot into recovery and chose the option that says something about update. Then drop the second file on the sd card and do the same thing.
If you decide to unlock the bootloader, you'll need to downgrade to 5.1.1 in ODIN. If you want an unlocked Marshmallow bootloader, you'll have to do the unlock process twice.

Krassermensch's Firmware Update Tool
My situation:
I'm too young to buy the Sunshine App to set my device S-Off but I want to update my device's firmware every time a firmware update's available. Since I compile ROMs and cannot do that via OTA updates the only acceptable way for me is to install signed firmwares in a locked bootloader. After doing that manually I thought I should write a tool that installs the right firmware for your device automatically. As I'm already running the latest firmware on my device after doing the procedure manually I cannot test if the flash part works correctly. Anyway, I achieved to read out the CID as well as the current firmware version and my tool reports that I'm running the latest firmware version I integrated for my device what's correct. So this part works well.
How the tool works:
The tool asks you if you've already installed the HTC USB drivers on your computer. If you haven't you can install it easily using my tool. After that the tool explains you how to set up your phone to be detected by the computer. Then it checks which device you have and checks which firmware's currently installed on it. Right after that the tool installs all the firmwares newer than the one that's currently installed on your phone one after another until the latest firmware my tool is shiped with runs on your device. The procedure doesn't wipe your data since signed firmware-updates are installed.
Requirements:
- An HTC 10
- A computer running windows
- An internet connection
- An unlocked bootloader
- An installed TWRP
Who is this tool for?
All the people who can't or don't want to set their device S-Off while running a non-stock ROM.
Why should I use this tool?
- It updates your firmware to the latest one available for your device automatically
- It doesn't wipe your storage
- You don't need to be S-Off
Download
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120704223
When the file is downloaded just extract it on your Windows computer and run the batch file. Everything else will be explained.
Important to know
Your boot and recovery partitions will be replaced by the stock ones so after successfully updating your firmware you need to reflash TWRP as well as your Boot partition.
This process is performed automatically now. No need to do that manually.
Tools using ADB just like mine may interfere with other tools that also use ADB. Make sure all these tools are disabled.
Now I need your feedback to be able to optimize the tool! I'll add new firmwares from time to time. I'm looking forward to your reviews

I would guess that you would have to have matching CID and MID of course.

No no, not unsigned firmware. I'll explain it more detailed tomorrow or so. The tool just checks your device's CID as well as your device's current firmware version and updates it to the most current firmware version I integrated in my tool. If your firmware is very old the tool also updates again and again until you have the lässt firmware automatically.But it uses signed firmware packages. The biggest advantage is that it should work fully automatic. Try it out and let me know what you think. I go to bed now...

It sounds like a great idea. I'm sure lot of people will appreciate this. If it does work like you say, WAY better than going back to stock.

Since when do you have to go back to stock to "fastboot flash zip some_firmware.zip" (as this tool does)?
--beaups
Hm sounds good, but i wont use it until we have some more information what it actually does.
As far as i know, theres no way to just update your firmware with signed zips without partly wiping your device. I had to reflash Viper10 (or restore a nandroid backup) the last time i updated my firmware, cause boot and recovery partitions got replaced. Not completely sure if this affects stock devices, it may work there, but not for devices which are modified with a custom ROM. For this you need a NoWipe firmware from sneakyghosts thread, but these cant be flashed while s-on.
So please explain in more details what your tool does, of course when youve got your sleep .
It most likely flashes firmware zips from OTA updates since those do not wipe the device. He already said it does that, he said if you're on a very old firmware it will keep updating your firmware progressively until you're on the latest version. So if you've never updated before, and there have been three updates since then, the tool will flash the firmware zip of each OTA one after the other.
Updated the main post, hopefully everything's clear now. I need your reviews now. I'm also thinking about an automatic bootloader lock with backup solution so you don't need to lock your bootloader manually and also don't lose your data partition.

I didn't try but normally your HTC 10 would block the installation if the bootloader is unlocked. Could you try it out and report. It's a bit hard to try it out by myself currently... It will most probably report that your new firmware's flashed but it actually will not be flashed after that if your bootloader's unlocked. If it's flashed anyway it'd be perfect since I'd not have to make a backup solution in that case. But I guess that the 10 isn't different to the M9 for example when it comes to firmware flashing. I read that you can have an unlocked bootloader if your device is S-Off but those are things I haven't been able to try out so far...

Really? You don't know how to unlock your bootloader? You don't need S-Off for it.
This answers the question I had wondered about. How does this install OTAs with a custom recovery? It doesn't, correct?
You need to be stock for this. The first thing you do after unlocking the bootloader (which pretty much anyone here has done) is to flash a custom recovery.
This tool will only work for users who are still completely on stock.
IO would test myself, but I'm already S-Off/unlocked bootloader/custom recovery/modified firmware/custom ROM|, and I don't want to take the time to go back to stock and incrementally update the steps to see what won't work. I think as soon as you flash custom recovery, you can't use this method.
If you want to unlock your bootloader, HTC provides the method and instructions at htcdev.com

Sure I know how to unlock a boitloader. If you watch my profile you can see I'm a ROM maintainer. I have to use custom recoveries to do that. People interpret my posts wrongly sometimes. I dunno why. Anyway, I use TWRP but after flashing a recovery or any other image file I lock my bootloader again for safety reasons. You just need to have a locked bootloader to use my tool currently... And no, u don't need to be stock. This tool just requires a locked or relocked bootloader. U can use whatever ROM u like. U just need to have a locked bootloader and my tool installs the latest firmware I integrated for your HTC 10 model. I know what I do. You should just read my posts a bit more carefully to prevent yourself from contending wrong things...

" I read that you can have an unlocked bootloader if your device is S-Off" quote from you
I did read it wrong. I was thinking that you meant you needed soff to unlock bootloader.\
And yes, now that I understand what you meant, with S-Off you shouldn't need to re-lock your bootloader.

Yeah, dude, I think I wouldn't be able to write a batch tool with fastboot and adb if I didn't know the whole stuff. My broken Nexus 4 has teached me a lot over the last 3½ years
Just to confirm... and thanks for the tool
I have a HTC 10 and nothing has been done to it since I bought it (Stock everything) will this tool keep it that way but give me the latest OTA?

No, I could write a tool for manual OTA flashing, too, but I don't want to do that since OTAs are for stock devices which are notified about OTA updates automatically. If you want to flash OTAs quicker: there's a thread here on xda where OTA zips are shared with an explaination how to flash it manually... This tool can be used by stock device's owners but it wouldn't be necessary...

Thanks for your explanations, now i understand your tool a bit more.
But if it only works with a locked/relocked bootloader i cant use it. Really no offense and i dont want to sound rude (!), but isnt it already a design problem? You said the tool is designed for people with non-stock ROMS, but that does imply that you have an unlocked bootloader to flash and keep your ROM and recovery up to date. To use your tool you have to relock the bootloader after flashing the ROM. But to update the ROM to a newer version you have to unlock the bootloader again via HTCDev (and loosing your data while doing this)? Sounds a bit weird to me...or did i miss something?
So which adb commands are you using? Didnt have the time to check your script yet (sorry!). Because im S-On with my bootloader unlocked an i COULD flash a signed firmware.zip i extracted from an official OTA via ADB. This wiped my boot and recovery partitions, but not data. Just had to restore the two partitions to get everything working again.

So you could flash the firmware-update.zip from the OTA without relocking your bootloader?
And it was really updated after that?

Thats what i did, bootloader was unlocked and flash successfully. I extracted the firmware.zip from an official OTA (TMOB-101) for my device and flashed it via ADB from my PC. Since the firmware.zip is signed, it can be flashed. Doesnt work with modified zips however, like the ones from sneakyghosts thread. He removed unnecessary stuff like the flash command for boot and recovery which my broke my phone initially. Thats why you need TWRP to restore them later.
As you already said with your tool, its also important here to get the right file to flash and not to skip a firmware update in between. You have to go from very old -> old -> current without skipping old.
I used the step-by-step instructions from here:

Hi,
I was reading the threads about upgrading / unlocking the bootloaders.
After spending almost half day rooting and rerooting, I have a few questions.
Right now I am on BPA1, rooted, stock. In order to install an Marshmallow ROM, it looks like I have to upgrade the bootloader, to minimum CPD1. Here it gets confusing. I already changed the CID to developer and the bootloader is unlocked. If I try to upgrade:
1. Can I flash just the bootloader (and eventually the modem) and not the entire stock firmware?
2. Will I lose root? If yes, I have to reroot, but the rooting tools are kind on unreliable, spent a lot of time already, no guarantee they will work again...In order to push the files for bootloader unlock, root is required. Is there a way to keep root? Flashing the stock firmware seems to lock the bootloader and eliminate root, so every time something needs to be upgraded, we have to go through the same process?
3. At this point, it looks that there are so many updates: CPD, CPF, CPG, CPJ, that I need a CPR if I have to repeat the process 4 times! Some roms don't require the latest update, but if it installed, will it work? E.g. the rom requires CPF and I upgrade to CPJ, what happens?
Thanks!

Yeah it definitely gets a little confusing, but I might be able to clear up a few of your questions. The bootloader you want to upgrade to is the cpd1 version, after that the only things that change when you upgrade to pf3, pg2, and pj1 are the kernels and modems. Right now I'm using the latest pj1 firmware and my bootloader has never changed from cpd1 and flashed between the different versions several times and for unlocking the bootloader on 6.0 you do have to repeat the process you did for lp, unfortunately.

OK, so what file do I need to download and flash? I have to unloack the CPD1 bootloader and reroot? Which app? Kingroot or Kingoroot?
Once this is updated, how can I upgrade the modems and kernels, can I flash them individually?
Thanks!

These are excellent questions that I'm sure a lot of members are thinking, but just haven't formally asked.
I have a Developer Device that I got directly from a Samsung 2 years ago. When hsbadr put out CM 14.1, I was still on Android 5.1.1. It seemed like a daunting task to do all that was required to get to CM 14.1, but I went ahead with it. I decided that it just made more sense to have my device CID changed to the one that everyone else was on, so I went through all the motions. Yes, the root thing was very touchy. But it really wasn't all that bad.
I'm now on bootloader CPD1, and just today upgraded the baseband by odin flashing the partial firmware for CPJ2 baseband.
Can't wait for hsbadr's next build!!!!
Ok, so in conclusion, which file needs to be flashed to upgrade to CPD1? Is it a stock tar, or the bootloader can be flashed just by itself? After flashing I'm gonna lose root again and have to start over before changing the CID?
You mentioned that you have a developer edition. I have one developer and one retail. My developer is still on an older Jasmine, but it needs to sent for repair. I'm trying to get the retail one done, so I can use it in the meantime. Then, the plan is to get the same thing done on the developer edition. I was hoping that would be easier, as the bootloader is unlocked, but apparently that's not the case.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Nobody can recommend the right file to flash?

restart phone in bootloader, connect to laptop.
run file with name OREO G5 PLUS DE CERO.bat (spanish whatever), once done, unplug and restart phone.
should delay a few moments and go into setup.
additionally, you may want to install latest TWRP 3231 found in RECOVERIEZ folder.
additionally, you may want to flash motorola boot logo found in BOOT LOGOZ folder, to prevent the unlocked phone boring screen.
additionally, you may want to flash Magisk 17.1 in ROOTZ folder, only Magisk file, nothing else.
additionally, you may want to flash Kernels like Extended or EX found in KERNELZ folder.
some apps in APPZ folder that I use.
in REVIVALZ you may find files to bring bricked phone to life, but that is another history you may need to find out by reading posts.
in ADBz you can find extra folders for CMD commands.
This tuto is for knowledgeable people.
I have my device working fine in official stock again, however........BOOTLOADER STAYS FOR MOTOZ, meaning, you cannot take OTAS, reason for which locking Bootloader is unnecesary, recommended that once TWRP3231 is flashed, you may backup averything, all partitions, remember this is the last backup for official STOCK we will have from Motonovo.
For further updated official releases, just flash as regular in adb-cmd.

Anything else, please read and follow this post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433
download and unzip file.
extract ROM folder and copy within very same folder the adb fastboot oreo g5+ folder and content extracted in same folder all together.
before going on, make sure you have motorola latest drivers installed, found in ADDONS, adbz folder, motorola device manager.
restart phone in bootloader, connect to laptop.
run file with name OREO G5 PLUS DE CERO.bat (spanish whatever), once done, unplug and restart phone.
should delay a few moments and go into setup.
additionally, you may want to install latest TWRP 3231 found in RECOVERIEZ folder.
additionally, you may want to flash motorola boot logo found in BOOT LOGOZ folder, to prevent the unlocked phone boring screen.
additionally, you may want to flash Magisk 17.1 in ROOTZ folder, only Magisk file, nothing else.
additionally, you may want to flash Kernels like Extended or EX found in KERNELZ folder.
some apps in APPZ folder that I use.
in REVIVALZ you may find files to bring bricked phone to life, but that is another history you may need to find out by reading posts.
in ADBz you can find extra folders for CMD commands.
This tuto is for knowledgeable people.
I have my device working fine in official stock again, however........BOOTLOADER STAYS FOR MOTOZ, meaning, you cannot take OTAS, reason for which locking Bootloader is unnecesary, recommended that once TWRP3231 is flashed, you may backup averything, all partitions, remember this is the last backup for official STOCK we will have from Motonovo.
For further updated official releases, just flash as regular in adb-cmd.

will it work on a latin american one? xt1680 currently on npn25.137-92 november patch unlocked bootloader. This is not my daily driver. If the flash of this oreo rom doesnt work, can i just reflash my npn25.137-92 firmware back? or will that not work?

Can you please clarify the above info. I have a U.S. x1687 that is still stock nougat that I'd like to upgrade to Oreo (since Motonovo screwed everyone with the August security update and lots of us are experiencing major battery drain issues!) . I'd like to remain completely stock if at all possible. Any way to update with the Moto G5+ bootloader?

Sorry, I still a bit confused. The text I quoted says "bootloader stays MotoZ". If I install this update, as is, will my bootloader be MotoZ or remain Moto G5+?
Thanks...
I have the US version (retus), bootloader unlocked, nougat 7.0 with August patch (NPNS25. 137-93-18). Can I use this method safely? Thanks
I do not know what else to say...just flash as edpalined if phone breaks then unbrick it reading other tutos sorry pals but seems you are not reading enough
No risk no Win buddies
Hi, great write up! I like how your zip is a one stop shop. I used the included Moto G5+ toolkit to flash the stock Oreo zip which worked perfectly. I down graded to stock 7.1 from custom 9.0 however I'm noticing while on official Oreo whenever I reboot the device it will TWRP loop back into recovery and the only way to get back in the system is to go to bootloader and boot to system. Anyone else had this happen and fix it?
XT1867
OC.92 bootloader (unlocked)
TWRP 3.2.3.1

Hello, I'm quite new. I downgraded from Pie to Oreo with Miflash a couple of years ago cause I had wifi problems. I got V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF now. I want lock bootloader and keep updating via OTA. Which version should I install? stock version? Or some Pie version? I will lose all data of the phone right ? And where I can get the ROM? The old links I had not working now. Thanks
If you want security updates you have to use Android 10 but it's got some "known issues" you may not like. 11.0.16.0
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.16.0.QDLMIXM/daisy_global_images_V11.0.16.0.QDLMIXM_20201225.0000.00_10.0_79e5becb5f.tgz
If you just want to go back to Pie, you may as well get the last version. 10.0.20.0
There's a list of stock images here:

forum.xda-developers.com
That page also has install instructions if you aren't familiar.
Thanks @a1291762 Yes I prefer something stable so I'll install 10.0.20.0. I enter into fastboot mode and flash with miflash(clean all) right?
And I'm wondering if It is possible to lock the bootloader to update via OTA in the future? (clean and lock) It is possible with that version or you need to install the first Android 8.1.0 [V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF] ?

I haven't used miflash only the fastboot scripts. But I believe miflash has a lock bootloader option. As long as you are also flashing all of the partitions, it's safe to use. Note that you do not need a locked bootloader to OTA.
You can use that version (10.0.20.0). There is no need to use an older one.
If you are downgrading you need to flash a newer modem because it fails if you downgrade the modem firmware. That makes it trickier to flash and lock. Replacing the file works with the fastboot scripts.
After install, you will need to immediately enable developer mode to disable automatic system updates. Otherwise your phone will install Android 10 automatically.
Thanks it has been helpful. So can I update via OTA after install a fastboot ROM, no matter if bootloader is lock or unlock? Is that possible when you downgrade?

Yes. OTA only requires the A/B partitions to be unmodified. You can have an unlocked bootloader.
If you root with Magisk or install TWRP then your partitions will be modified. If you don't do that, you can OTA without issue.

FWIW: I am lending my phone to somebody else, and didn't want them to have to put up with Android 10's quirks (particularly the need to reboot regularly) so I put the phone into fastboot mode and used flash_all_lock_crc.sh from the Android 9 (10.0.20.0) fastboot image. https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.20....0.PDLMIXM_20200327.0000.00_9.0_2baf524aaf.tgz
Since I didn't have an Android 11 ROM handy, I left the 10.0.20.0 modem image in there, but it seems to be fine (for my single SIM in slot 2). I guess the modem thing (needing to flash a newer image) only applies to Android 8?
Before I let the phone on the network, I enabled developer mode and turned off automatic updates. Disabling the notification category Google Play Services -> System Update should prevent any prompts to install system updates.
