As long as you updated through the update center it's ok. Just don't use LG Bridge to update.

If I relocked and unrooted my phone I'll be able to get the OTA update?

yes, but you also need to flash the stock recovery. after you get the OTA, you can unlock and install TWRP again.

My box is hardware rooted at 51.1.4.3. Is there a way to update my firmware to 51.1.5.0 and retain root without having to resolder the wires?

If he is at 51.1.4.3 then he can't use the custom roms because those require recovery, which require unlocked bootloader. You can't unlock if you are at 51.1.4.3.

Is it possible to copy su to the official 51.1.5 rom and perform a manual update?
you should be able to downgrade to 51.1.0.2_user_510058520, install CWM, unlock the bootloader, upgrade to bueller-51.1.4.0_514006420-rooted+updated, install Rbox's boot menu, and upgrade to bueller-51.1.5.0_515020820-rooted.
if you do this, I'd stick towel root on there just in case.
My boot loader is locked. Can't downgrade. My box is hardware rooted at v51.1.4.3. If I allow it to accept the latest v51.1.5 update over the network, I will lose root. The only way to regain root is by re-soldering the wires and perform hardware root again.
The question was: Is it possible to somehow add su to the official firmware, bueller-ota-51.1.5.0_user_515030720-signed.bin, and perform a manual update using this modified file?

Can I ota update, or maybe I should use the pcsuite? Will I lose any data during the update? Is it safe?
Thanks

There's a flashable zip here which contains the stagefright fix, meaning it's the latest update, even though it has a different version name. It's from the Taiwanese (?) or whichever other version of the h815. Works on our international unbranded phones.
DON'T TAKE AN OTA
No, you can't update your phone wit ota if you have root. Is there twrp available for h815?

I was in the same case. This is what I did:
I updated my rooted 10c (locked bootloader) to 10d (stock kdz image) with LG Flashtool.
After reboot, I switched off the phone BEFORE first setup.
Then I used the command tool to flash a rooted 10d.
I didin't loose any app, setting, or whatsoever...:good:
Cannot seem to install custom recovery. Rooted and I THINK bootloader is unlocked.
Hi everyone, I'm in dire need of help.
I believe my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted using the one click method. But no matter what I do I can't seem to get a custom recovery installed. Please help me and advise me on what to do.

After you unlock your bootloader the splashscreen when booting has a WHITE background, not black. Unless you have seen and replaced the splashscreen then you haven't unlocked the bootloader and you can flash until the cows come home but it won't do any good...

Ah you're right. My bootloader isn't flashed after all. And even that isn't possible for some reason, neither the unofficial or official way is working
Oh my God, I don't know how but the official bootloader unlock tool just worked! Victory!

Congrats, just be aware now though that you are without warranty and won't be on the OTA list from ASUS...

Even if your bootloader is unlocked, still u will receive OTA updates.
My Z008 is unlocked and rooted. still i receive OTA updates. I just unroot and update the OTA and then re-root.

Official unlock tool or XDA unlock tool?
Once you unlock using ASUS's tool it removes you from the update server or so it has been said...
You can still download from ASUS site and flash through recovery but it generally don't get OTA's...

Does OTA updating work while bootloader is unlocked? Or does it not work only when rooted/custom recovery?

Having an unlocked bootloader does not interfere with accepting an ota, root, exposed , TWRP recovery and any other alteration will cause the ota to fail.

You have to reflash stock. Root and TWRP will cause OTA updates to fail.
