OTA possible ? - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

Hi if i lock bootloader again after twrp and magisk root , would my A50 be able to get OTA again ?

From what I understand that won't work with the A50. When you unlock the bootloader it Trips Knox and you're unable to do Ota again. Other devices can receive Ota again after relocking bootloader but not Samsung A50.

type this keypad *#*#7378423#*#* and under bootloader see if it is bootloader unlock allowed :"Yes"
if its YES then you can unlock your bootloader bro
Note: Unlocking bootloader makes you loose your warranty but still you can relock it back
You can root your device even if it is Bootloader Locked or Unlocked..
try it out and search in google bro you'd find better solutions than mine :good:

For rooting .42 firmware and below use Zergrush method by Doomlord (file named DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip )
For rooting .62 firmware and above use Eroot (it's in chinese, but is easy to understand)
No need for unlocking bootloader, this is just for root stock firmware

The first thing is DO NOT TRY TO DWONGRADE THE 4.3 BOOTLOADER. You can Brick your Device. If you want to root the device. Check out the thread HERE.

As far as we have tested, after flashing complete firmware ND3 it is possible to run 4.3 custom roms (not tested older ones).
Regarding wifi and similar issues it is advantageous to have newest firmware including bootloader.

Which 4.3 firmware have you successfully flashed? Are all 4.3 firmwares working on ND3 bootloaders? I don't plan on going back to 4.3 but want to know for my knowledge Thank you

We only tested 4.3 custom roms, no firmware and depending on Knox status, in my opinion it could be possible to downgrade firmware to any 4.3 with knox enabled BL, as long as Knox isn't triggered. That's only theory and for me too late to test it. Never cared about warranty.
I have a silly doubt.. How can the Knox counter trip if we use Custom ROM without knox?
Above is valid if someone want to upgrade from MJ5 Bootloader to newer one with any new custom rom.

There is a difference between Knox app and Knox counter in the download menu of the phone. Once you go up/changing bootloader from mj5 then you get a present Knox counter for free.
Any custom room using higher bootloader will set up the Knox.
It's not about it is custom or not it's about flashing the bootloader.

Stock Rooted rom?

hi, I just recently aquired the Nexus 7 2013 model, and I am currently not rooted. I want to root but I dont want to run CM or all the other custom roms. I just want a stock rooted rom.
Is there a stock rooted 4.4.2 rom for this device?
That is all, thanks!
There is one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563017
You will need a custom recovery in order to flash it!
Or you can just flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and it'll be rooted

You will need to unlock the bootloader first before flashing a root zip. Then you will have a stock rooted ROM. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XM3CBtAaoWU

I'm curious. I've never used a device with a locked bootloader. Since this tablet is about to get the 4.4.3 update, will unlocking the bootloader affect the update? Will I still receive the update.
I'm planning on unlocking the bootloader but not flashing the rootzip yet until I get the update.

Yes, you will still receive the OTA. Having an unlocked bootloader has no effect on updating via OTA.
You could just root and then re-lock the bootloader

That won't work. If you relock the bootloader everything has to be stock.
It would just refuse to lock

Only recovery needs to be stock to relock the bootloader, you can unlock, root and then relock - then you have rooted stock ROM and a locked bootloader without having to flash a custom recovery or ROM.

Are you sure? This wasn't the case with my Motorola Xoom. I thought everything needs to be stock, wouldn't this defeat the point of relocking since its meant to be factory settings for warranty purposes?

Have done it on both my N7 and N5 - does provide a small measure of security for the phone (my company allows rooted devices, but only with locked bootloaders) see http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/info-understanding-risks-unlocked-t1898664
after rooting - fastboot oem lock

fair enough, I stand corrected! Didn't know you could re-lock a rooted device.
So could you flash OmniROM, flash stock recovery and re-lock?

From what I understand, yes, that is correct - although I have heard that some ROMs require a custom recovery
