Hey,
Just wondering if its still possible after rooting and installing a custom ROM if you can still receive official updates from SE. And if so how?
Xperia ARC - Cyangenmod 7
Yes, you've to relock your bootloader and can update your device via PCC/SEUS/OTA.
And pls post in the correct section.

If you update via OTA after relocking bootloader you will brick your phone! Use PCC.

I've never tried it, but a lot of user in the thread reported, that they were able to update via OTA after relocking.

No, there's a specific Q&A (Questions & Answers) subforum.
There you go to relock thread.
Thanks for the help

bootloader unlock
At the moment you can not unlock the bootloader... you can root it...and from the reading up on it I did it doesn't look like the unlock will come soon either... I went through the same thing I feel for you ... best of luck...

Hmm...
So is it just the RAZR M XT907 that got this update? Or did the XT926 get the same thing? My thread I linked was for both, though I only had an XT926 to play with but as with all phones I unlock for customers I check for the most recent updates on the phone and I wasnt notified of any. I'm leaving the thread up because its useful to those who haven't taken it for the XT907, but could it go void because of the inability to downgrade the bootloader yet?

yes, you can reroot. since your bootloader is already unlocked, I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM)? if so, then you can flash supersu (search for it on XDA) via recovery.

Hi,
I just unlocked my bootloader and I wasn't sure if I would still get OTA updates on the phone. If not, can I relock the bootloader and keep root access?

There is but it can seriously mess your phone. Apps such as kingroot can root your device without having you to unlock the phone but these apps have a bad reputation. So recommend to root by classical method.

Hi
Doing the classic method do I lose my warranty? Unlocking bootloader Huawei knows I've rooted my device...

Either way you will lose warranty. Using kingroot etc will void your warranty.
Only software warranty will be void not hardware.

No. You won't be able to update via ota (over the air) nor you will be able to update via Update.APP. However you can flash update.zip via twrp. You can find it on xda. It will erase your data though.

Bro, you can Unlock unofficially bootloader & flash TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
And you can update stock ROM while keeping Magisk & TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...to/rom-update-stock-firmware-keeping-t3808269
Both threads are tested and working on most of the device include mine.
Gud luck.
