Has anyone gone through the unroot/relock instructions and gotten the update notification...
I just want to see if that did indeed work and that it takes it back to true stock...
Just paranoid with updates and what not and want to be sure.
Thanks.
Doesn't sound like development to me
i wanna know if the same method for rooting the current honeycomb will work for the update. :/

Thanks. Just figured I'd post where the instructions were at for doing the relock unrooting. Sorry for wsting your time. Move the post. Or delete it then. Thanks again.
Here are detailed instructions of Unrooting and relocking Motorola Xoom.
I am having an issue unrooting and relocking...
Does anyone know what the problem is if after extracting the contents of HRI39 into \platform-tools after inputting adb reboot bootloader it does not accept any fastboot commands? It says its not a recognized command. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I don't know... If rooting is development, I'm not sure how unrooting isn't as well.
Moved to general.

Hey i need a help..
I have android one device of micromax but have a problem while installing the update of android 6.0.1 via OTA
I am sure you can do it without TB but just want to hear from some1 that did it and if that's possible just to update your system without reseting.

Start by reading this guide. Paragraph 10 has answer to your question.

The easiest way to update is by flashing the factory images for the latest build, you don't lose any data doing so as you don't need to wipe. I have detailed instructions in section 10 of my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
You'll just need to root again afterwards.

You're in the wrong place, you need to ask in the section for your device.

See above.
I thought it would be easy to find an answer to this question... but I haven't been able to find my specific situation.
I'm wondering if it is okay to take the 6.0.1 update? Everything is still stock except the only thing I have done is unlock the bootloader. I know you would normally not want to, but I wasn't sure if the bootloader is impacted or affects any system updates.
Thanks
Go for it, you'll be fine . Nothing system related has been modified.

Thanks both for the replies. Your guide is awesome, so thank you! I assumed most people would go all the way, so most people wouldn't be in my situation. I just wanted to do some research first before I decide what direction I want to go. I've been out of the game for a couple years due to locked down Samsung Notes. CM looks like a good option as it appears you can install updates without having to flash each time? Anyway, thanks again for the help!
So I understand that there is a new update out and I'm wanting to upgrade to it. I'm currently rooted and have xposed installed. I was wondering if I will keep root and not have to wipe my device.
If I have to re-root it, could someone please show me the steps to take? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Here you go....

Yes, to upgrade to the newest firmware you will lose root and more then likely have to fully wipe your phone, just make sure you back everything up. The root method is the same as when you 1st rooted your phone, but I will leave you a link to the root thread. Always try to search for the answer's before asking question's. Hope this helps you out buddy Click here

Hey bud I hope I caught you before you took the update. I would read the stock rom thread for that update. Something about not updating the bootloader . I have not taken the update as of yet so I dont know about it but here is the thread for it. You might want to ask in there before updating.
Thanks for taking time to read my query.
I was wondering if I've to lock boot-loader after rooting ( I just rooted my Oero)
and before looking can I take everything backup on titanium backup and then restore everything after locking ?
I'm I still be rooted?
Regards
Unless you are on the totally stock system then I wouldn't lock your bootloader.

Technically i believe you could and would still be rooted, but I've always seen it advised NOT to lock your bootloader again until you are on 100% stock (right now your boot.img isn't stock since it's patched for root).

So you mean I would not be able to re-lock bootloader even if I had installed Nougat, isn't it?
thats because we are using tampered boot.img. Is it possible in-future we can use original boot.img ?

If you relock your bootloader with anything other than a factory image you will brick your device.

If you modify your device, bottom line, you should leave it unlocked so you can fix things or go back to stock if needed, otherwise you could turn it into a paper weight. Even if root is done without modifying the boot.img, I would still keep it unlocked as there are usually still system changes.

This.
With a modified system or other partition, you risk a brick.
If anything goes wrong, once the bootloader is locked you can't fix it.
DO NOT LOCK THE BOOTLOADER ON ANY PHONE IF ROOTED!!!!!

I don't see anything about a phone type in the original question. Only that he asks about locking the boot loader.

Lol you are in the wrong thread genius. I don't know who "he" is but assume you are referring to the OP and in that case "He" doesn't need to mention anything about any specific phone because he is already posting in the right place. The question you asked about your k-whatever phone will most certainly be different for every phone. Good luck and who knows maybe a forum moderator can help you?

You are one trippy person ? if you really feel the need to post about your LG phone in the mata thread go right ahead buddy.

MOD EDIT
It's worth noting that the Essential PH-1 uses an A/B partition system so any advice given here would not be helpful in the slightest for devices that don't have the same file system. Quickly doing a search of your phone reveals it's not an A/B partitioned system so following advice here could potentially lead to you actually destroying your phone.
could you lock the BL once rooted if in fastboot mode it lists device tampering = false?
Wonderful reply

Just an opinion, but...there are rules for posting in forums that Dev's, no matter how over worked and underpaid/appreciated should follow as well. Teach by example not proxy. Applaud the calm gentleman who responded with eloquent grammar and poise.

If you patched boot.img (Android 11 stock) with magisk and then lock bootloader... Will that be possible since it's stock rom or it altered because of the boot.img patch?

I don't know.
So I am interested in rooting my LG V20 h91810s. From what I gather I have to roll it back to 10j or i. I have the bootloader unlocked already. But I'm not sure about the rollback. Will a factory reset take it back to 10j or 10i? If not, I haven't been able to find step by step instructions on doing this. I think once I can get it rolled back I should be able to follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 in order to root it. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
No can do..... You will make your phone into a paper weight.
So there is no way to root it? I need to root it in order to recover some very important texts. If it can't be rooted does anyone know how I could recover a deleted sms thread?
Thread title changed on OP's request
Thank you very much.
As of right now anything 10p or higher is ARB01. Which means you can't roll back to root. Trying will create a brick. There are people working hard to make it happen but until then it's a waiting game. As for the recovery of SMS hopefully someone can help you. Chances are if you've searched and searched for an answer with no luck, it'll be hard to get that answer here. But you never know. Good luck.
Ah, that sucks. Well tyvm anyway.
We are both on the same boat unfortunately, we'll have to wait patiently.....
Me too waiting to root my h91810s.... hopefully someone will find a method soon.....
Sucks! But I like this phone. It'll be a shame to switch. ?

No I remember I used it to root get the used flashify to flash TWRP.img then flashed magisk and removed kingroot after. If someone with a unlocked boot loader could try it because they had many requests for root
