You can do manual update by downloading the firmware and flashing on yourself...

Hey guys had a few problems when modding my cousins Xperia play, I unlocked the bootloader and got it up and running no problems. But I also read if you have an unlocked bootloader you can't update with Over the air updates, is that true, if so, do I have to re-lock the bootloader in order to get them to work?
Yes,u have to re-lock it for OTAs,but using SEUS or PC companion is fine,but u might have to reset the phone.
Cheers
If you update using any method that isn't a manual flash, be prepared to brick the phone. Re-locking the bootloader is possible, but if I were you I would just flash newer firmware.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking about flashing something newer manually, hopefully it will stop the "there are updates available "messages for my cousin. Wish I didn't bother rooting the phone for him now

Using root explorer or any program that can delete system apps I just delete the mobile care apk and run free

No. But the update will fail if you have removed any apps from /system/app/.

I got that update on the same day I got mine, like a month ago. It was silent so I couldn't read what was it about.

unlocker bootloader is not a problem.
just extract recovery.img from your OTAPkg.zip\firmware.zip\
flash it with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and you will be able to flash ota zips

Hello guys, i'm planning to unlock my phone's bootloader, since its my first time on my Zenfone(I only use tethered recovery to flash root and xposed, i also have experience of unlocking the bootloader before on my previous device Xperia ZR but done it in a official way) i was wondering if the unofficial method i'm reading on some sites won't void my Asus warranty?
If any of this links is the right tutorial for unlocking bootloader in a unofficial way, kindly tell me if its still working for the latest 2.20.40.184 LP Firmware:

Plz correct the links above
This is the correct link http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
Try it with the current firmware if it doesn't work then u can try dowgrading
U should see a white boot screen instead of black if its unlocked

I see, after using the unofficial unlocker asus won't recognize my device from using it right? so i still got my warranty even if i flash MM Beta to relock my bootloader?

Yes if they don't find it via other means then u r ok with warranty
I don't recommend flashing the MM Beta Firmware cause it can potentially brick ur device

Actually, i already tried MM Beta before but i got annoyed by the bugs and lack of root functionality before so i reverted back to LP Stock.
Gonna wait for the MM Final release instead, atleast now i know how to unlock bootloader when MM Final is release incase there's no Tethered Recovery yet. thanks again for the response and tip.

I highly doubt that the current bootloader unlock method would work on MM Official release cause it doesnt work on MM Beta
Maybe some new method will be sorted out:fingers-crossed:
Hi guys, i have a problem.
After unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP ,i installed the CM13 and all went good.
After reboot the system this message: Your device has failed verification" boot message is appeared and the phone will automatically start the TWRP .
What can i do?
Maybe boot.img is broken.
As it said in the unlocking instructions, this is normal. As long as it's unlocked you will get this. Ignore it.

Solution
Downgrade to Lollipop and then unlock bootloader via official apk app provided by Asus then install twrp. It's done
I only get this message when I reboot into twrp

Hey guys,
Just ignore that warning. It won't harm anything on your device!

It's because you updated the phone to Asus MM, don't worry this is normal from now on custom roms due to MM bootloader
Just curious, is the bootloader is locked again.
If the message mentioned in the thread appears, does it means the bootloader is locked again or it is still unlocked because the splash screen had turned black again ??? Please reply, thanks in advance.
