Hi, phone is currently unlocked (with the official way) with magisk and I would like to relock bootloader with fastboot. I have heard that device can break, so I am asking if these rumors are true or not.
Make shure u are 100% stock.
Anyting els will brick it... So flash kdz and wipe everyting.
If magisk is left you will be Bricked, even wrong kdz might brick... Root will 100% brick your device

Don't flash ICS - the ICS bootloader is locked and will throw up a security error if you try and install a custom recovery.
Otherwise the steps are correct.

ok, so skip first one, just root...
any normal root option for 2.3.5?
you can root then install CWM recovery if you think that your device doesn't have secure bootloader.
if you try to boot into CWM recovery and you get a fast boot error, it means you have to unbrick using the unbricking guides found in the general forums, then flash cm10.1

dont try to install CM 10.1 if u aren't comfortable performing steps on unbricking guides, read one of them first then decide.

if you try to boot into CWM recovery with a secure bootloader your phone gets bricked, thats why i say dont do it unless ur comfortable unbricking. make sure ur phone is fully charged when u try to boot into cwm for first time
This method of rooting and installing CWM worked for me on a Bell P930: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784709
I am running Liquid Nitro v7 and intend to try CM10.1 RC2 later.
I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.
You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

I did try to flash Clockwork Recovery 6.0.4.3 using Odin, and did get a "Pass" but still cannot reach recovery mode.
Flash this and it should boot and get your recovery back

The first file is a 4.3 rom you can flash but the 2nd file is the bootloader and when I did the ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you have to flash that mk6 bootloader to make it boot

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?
If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work
Hello! I unlocked my bootloader, then flashed TWRP, when I tried to enter recovery, it started looping when the phone is connected to PC.I plugged it out, I tried to turn it on and it just shows the HTC logo with some little red text and turns off!When I plug it back in the PC it does not get recognized and it starts restarting.I cannot enter bootloader.Help!
You need to download the most recent twrp 3.0.3.0 and flash that as your recovery
---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------
Also, you can download the .exe file to go back to stock but your boot loader will still be unlocked

The latest TWRP is 3.0.3-9. It's available in Captain Throwback's TWRP thread.
Yes sorry
Oh, I tried flashing an image from the official site and it said that I need to be S-OFF.I will try this one now.
I flashed the chinese TWRP and rooted a few months back. Now, I want to upgrade to N, and will probably forgo rooting (main reasons I rooted on M was for some N features via xposed).
I was looking for a stock recovery.img for my specific variant, in order to flash that and then OTA, but I haven't had any luck. Then, I thought it might be best to just flash a stock M factory image and then OTA, to be safe, but I can't even find the US unlocked factory image anywhere on moto's site.
Can anyone link me to the right factory image and/or recovery? Thanks!

There are unsigned images for the RETUS:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/RETUS/
Flashing sparsechunks, boot, recovery, and optionally oem will clear you for an OTA.
---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------
The partitions they fall under are: system, boot, recovery, and oem respectively (from previous post) when doing your fastboot commands. Be sure to flash the sparsechunks​ consecutively (0 through 10).

Thanks! Will give this a try this evening
1. App unlock bootloader: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.1.0.10_190702_fulldpi.apk
2.Rom: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1HxSqpE83FW1U_k8WxCfaTkMUEAbS2QH-
In folder, file boot.img patched to root, no bootloop and wifi working.
3. Minimal ADB: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Step:
S1. Unlock bootloader by app unlock
S2.
a. Install Minimal ADB, copy 21 file .img to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
b. Flash 21 file img in fastboot mode (power + volumeup) using usb type C side of ROG Phone):
Run cmd-here.exe, command:
fastboot flash ***.img (*** same with name 21 file img, do not rename file)
EX: fastboot flash system system.im
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Boot in to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset then reboot system!
Done.
Sorry for my poor English
Mod edit: Deleted!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - if this is real, awesome job.
Damnnn good..but i'm afraid to try it
Could u explan more
After this ww rom will be installed? What about upgrade?
I mean can i do future update once in convert to ww rom ?
A Video would be nice (not doubting that this simple guide doesn't work) but to proof that indeed this method works) someone please be kind to post a video.
also, does flashing this WW ROM deletes all personal data? or does it flash like an update retaining data?
wow!!
is it works??
and is it without root??
Will OTA updates work on this? Also, could you rewrite the guide some parts are a bit confusing
It works. No OTA from now on though, without a patched boot.img the phone will always go into a bootloop. Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion.
"Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion. "
Is there more infomation about this? forum link or screenshot?
Thanks.

In my tele, 2 member rp dead camera, they reflash rom CN then reflash WW, evething ok expect setting theme not working
Can someone state the major differences between the two roms?. I don't see the point of losing OTA and warranty unless you need the stock UI, other than that i don't see any advantages. By the way can someone confirm the call recording option is still there with the WW Rom.

Yes Please, I Would also like to know the major differences..
Just to evaluate whether losing OTA is worth going to WW Rom.
Hello Guys, I messed up as I did not unlock bootloader first before flashing it from fastboot. Now I have a bootloop. Can anyone help me how to reflash CN. I have a lock bootloader. Thank you very much.
Unlocking BL also voids the Widevine L1 DRM btw, proceed at your own risk.
Can anyone help me how to unlock the bootloader via fastboot since I cannot get in the software as I have a bootloop. I greatly appreciate it as I have been figuring out this for the past 5 hours. Thank you.

You cannot unlock without the app. Hold the power and volume up key when the phone boots up until you enter the bootloader menu then using the volume keys navigate to recovery option from there just do a factory reset.
Hello Rashad83, I went to recovery and did a factory reset,but it still bootloop. I have a tencent ROG phone II model.

What did you do to get the bootloop in the first place, if you don't mind me asking?
I tried fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then it says parse error due to lock state, then after that I rebooted it then it just bootloop.
