Hi there,
I hope I post in the right section. Did search for it but didn't found the info.
Is it possible to relock bootloader (and loose root)?
Thanks,
Mambobuzzz
Yes but not recommended as if bricked, it'll be harder to unbrick. Msmtool can reinstall oos10 with locked BL, the can ota to oos11
If on custom roms, definitely not recommended to lock BL, if even possible
Oh ****. I'm on iOS. But a pre-rooted image. Do you count this as custom build?
Funny guy
Sorry i'm quite ignorant. Si I mean custom. Ok.
iOS? what lol?
Oh sorry stupid auto correction. I meant OOS.

Oos is not custom so can use msmtool to reinstall locked oos10

Okay, thank you! Was not sure if pre-rooted OOS counts as custom or not. Will have a try.
Wondering. What happens if to the next OTA I just let it do?
I will loose root and get a full original ROM ready to relock bootloader?

Hi hope someone can verify.
I'm running stock 3.2.7 unrooted with stock recovery. The bootloader is still unlocked as I tried out a few custom ROMs about a month back. I now want to wipe and sell the phone so need to lock the bootloader. Can I just do the standard OEM lock in adb or should I also sideload the full 3.2.7 update zip again?
Thanks
just oem lock it. but everything will be removed when you do that.

Thanks, I thought so but I had to check. Strange... after rooting phones and installing custom ROMs for maybe 8 years, I don't think I've ever relocked a bootloader.
It's safer to flash stock again then to relock bootloader, even if you think you are stock (including recovery) maybe you are not.
But except the booting screen, you won't gain anything from relocking bootloader, even the warranty will work with bootloader unlocked.

Thanks, but I plan to sell my OP3 to a high street store that buys and sells second-hand phones and tablets. Although it's only 3 months old and in immaculate condition, I'm guessing they may be reluctant to buy it if the start up screen says 'this phone can't be trusted...'
No choice in this situation - I will need to relock the bootloader I guess.
If you lock the bootloader, everything will be wiped and phone won't boot till you flash OOS.

Thank you. So after OEM lock, when you say flash OOS do you mean sideload a full update zip? That's what I was asking in my original post.

Ta mate. I already saw that thread but as I'm running a clean sideloaded OOS that has never been rooted, I am already back to stock. Anyway, as opinion seems to be divided on whether OEM lock alone is enough, I will also sideload a full OOS update zip again to be sure.
Won't be doing it for a few days though so it's all academic at the moment.

i did that guide too. i came from cm13. thiss guide works perfect if you follow all steps exactly.
It seems that the Nougat and Marshmallow are the same procedures. The reason why I have made this post is, why didn't anyone here say that it is no different than the Marshmallow procedure?!
So far, everything is working without any complain!
Network is fine. Did I forget something that I should check if it's working or not?
Why should it be mentioned it isn't changed. It's actually only important when things DO change ! No news......no change. Simple as that. And if you do a xda search there will very likely be a post which will mention there are no changes regarding unlocking the bootloader, even sunshine to S-Off the device is still working the same.
Don't expect to be spoonfed but do some good old fashioned research. Checking the HTC dev site and the procedures there to unlock the bootloader hasn't changed either. Even their whole website layout hasn't changed.
But if something hasn't changed in the future we will put a reminder up to tell you

The same as MM. Unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and flash Superuser.zip (root access)

Indeed. Pretty much all the custom roms comes with root access.
Enjoy
I think I know the answer to this already but I'll ask anyway. If I flashed a custom ROM. Would it be possible at all to then go back to complete stock at some point and continue to get OTA updates once back?
Yes it is possible

Cusrom is like when you bored with stock rom, and you can easily back to stock rom also

You have a stock phone. Even if you flash an old rom, after a reboot you will get a ota.

Hi All,
I am currently rooted via Magisk with TWRP installed. I am unable to install the Feb OTA update because of this mostly. I am planning to get stock recovery while keeping the root - question is if I do this via the AIO tool <https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3730226> - will i lose all my data?
Thanks,

If you want to take the ota, you need to be unrooted, and on stock recovery. You won't lose your data if your careful with the toolkit.

Thanks Badger! For some reason I thought systemless root works with OTA.

It used to, but not so much on this phone. Friendly advice for ya, learn how to flash factory images, and ditch the OTA's. Much quicker, and less room for error that side loading or waiting on OTA's. Just my opinion my friend ?

Hi badger,
If you are referring to steps laid out here - https://developers.google.com/android/images, then I can do it. Won't it still require me to be unrooted?
I am not that Tech agnostic - so if I am wrong, can you refer me to a thread where this is outlined. My only thing is that I get latest patches and still get to keep root without losing data
Thanks,

Yep, that's the one. No, you don't have to be unrooted for it to work. You won't even lose any data once you learn the -w trick(you'll see) Here's a guide written by Flash, the kernel Dev Jedi Master. Look over that thread, and you'll figure it out pretty quick I bet ?

Well root yes. But if you delete the bootloader you will not be able to "load" anything to "boot"
In other words device will be just a brick

Well original state , Android has always had a bootloader. You cannot delete it.
Maybe you just want to unroot and relock bootloader?
This is possible. And answered in the thread. Do a search.

Couple of warnings first. If you are new to Android and rooting, you might not know, lot of times problems(bootloops) happen when you do not do it correctly.
If phone is not on full stock unrooted system then locking bootloader will cause phone to "brick".
Do you have reason to need it locked again?
Usually to unroot all you need to do is flash the stock boot.img if you are on nougat or stock Ramdisk if you are on Oreo.
Magisk manager has an unroot option that will work only if you installed root from twrp.

Well if what you want is to update. There is hwota for doing g that while rooted. And when it finishes you will be updated, unrooted, and if you want bootloader locked.
