asus said they cancelled this update due to unstable update...
1st i dont know what is unstable in this version[same as previous and new bug of call screen animation
2nd lol which update came without new bugs?
3rd they removed after they heard about unlocking bootloader..something fishy right :laugh:
they will probably patch the unlock method with the next update, gonna unlock the bootloader before updating to next update.

Maybe there just will be a check and it will abort if the BL is unlocked
But it should be easy to adapt these OTA updates to unlocked devices

Nothing they can do. As long as you don't flash an OTA or full stock build. They may have a way to patch it in their droidboot.

That's how it works with all custom work. Once you're off stock, you're going to have to wait for someone to post a safe update/install.
Rushing in and taking an OTA is a very common way of breaking your build. Like what we see with running an OTA while rooted. Any number of problems can come up.
They could patch any number of things that would give you a very bad day.
With the support we have here though, we'll probably have flashable, safe OTA zips within a few hours of an OTA being captured/downloaded.

well i am from sony device..they release main update of android..and 1 bug fix,thats all...so we dont care..and no need to worry about relocking issues..
this is the first asus device...man they releasing update for every 10days..i thought we could apply just like that..but since they didnt gave unlocked bootloader tool ,i got these doubt..
and thanks for info..
so i must wait for zips which is modified for unlocked bootloader[if they trying to relock]
I honestly doubt they're going to find a way to relock it with an update, but who knows what voodoo they may come up with.
Either way, we'll grab the updates and get them ready to be flashed quickly. It's a simple process.
I highly doubt he will do anything regarding unlocking/locking bootloader. because:
1. last year they released their official tool to unlock zenfone 4,5,6 bootloader after 3-4 months of release.
2. This year when they launched the zf2 in US they hold contest and developer events via xda. Now xda is a place where no one keeps their bootloader locked. so they knew exactly where they are releasing and advertising the product.
So I dont think they would even bother about this bootloader . Maybe it is an unstable build in terms of their quality test.
Dang, and my 551 (2/16GB) is still in transit.
Was browsing the forum and this thread - has 2.19 been captured and saved somewhere else, or was everyone just downloading off ASUS servers for this OTA (when forced)?
I don't know if I would want 2.19 yet. Maybe to keep on my PC until the right time. That is, if 2.20 comes out and the BL hole is plugged, and those who were on 2.19 (and took advantage of the bootloader unlocking) still got the update successfully - if either of those two outcomes are false, I wouldn't use it.

Even if your phone gets here on a newer version (it won't), you could always downgrade everything and unlock from there. =)
Shakalaka has backups of everything going back to like version 2.12 or 2.13.

Problem is they can't support any ROM that isn't official on the zenfone. They'll pass you off. Like most manufacturers.
These are just official update links from Asus. Not backups. Asus can shut those down at any point. Not saying they will.
See here for pre-rooted ROM backups:

one more doubt..
i think 2.17 is stable build from asus without the android os drinking the battery
now i have unlocked the bootloader ,can i reflash the 2.17[asking since it doesnt have the things which enabled to unlock bootloader] ...or once unlocked,we can do anything like other brands phone?

I downloaded the appropriate OTA the other night, so if ASUS pulls the file, I still have it and can share it on Dropbox and/or Copy.
I get the phone today! So hopefully tonight I get the OTA up to 2.18 and then wait to see what upcoming 2.20 has to offer. If we can still unlock the BL with 2.20, I will let that OTA happen. Similarly if we find out that those who unlocked their bootloaders can't take the update (at that point I will cry a little, if there is no official way to unlock BL released with the update ).
If both scenarios above are false, then I will apply my downloaded 2.19, unlock the bootloader, then accept 2.20.
Best one could do eh?

I cannot imagine it would re-lock the bootloader. Should be able to downgrade, as long as you use the whole image and not just the OTA zip.

but the unlocked needed some file right..it modifies something right? ...and it is not present in old things..so can old fw run on unlocked bootloader? [or would it get bootloop or damage bootloader]

I saw this posted earlier. I think the big question is does he release it and thus burn an exploit or does he wait for 4.3 in hopes that it is still there and thus provides a root option for 4.3 as well. I'm not sure which is my preference. The only thing I personally miss by not being rooted is the tethering, which I only use in emergency situations anyway, so its not crucial for me. However, it is nice to have freedom from the carrier release cycle if we get a way to flash roms without an unlocked bootloader.

you got any idea what was going on with the order in which he clicked on things in the about phone menu? was that part of the exploit or what? I couldn't tell if it was doing something or he was just showing you it was the OTA.

Just proving the version.
I would rather that he wait and see if the exploit is still available in 4.3. There's a way to go back to the first build from this update, so if you really need root that badly, you can always just do that. Once SafeStrap is ready, we'll probably see a zip of the update that can be flashed, so I find little reason for him to burn this flaw right now.

Thanks for your help though
If you're on stock rom+recovery and you're not rooted, you can have your bootloader unlocked, you will still get the official update.

I am carrying a XT1063, right out of the box, unmodified, as virgin as it could be and still NO Lolipop update 'til now and I keep patiently waiting.
The executive team should have cared for us more than worrying about rooted ones.
As usual chat support doesn't know diddly, because I received all the lollipop OTAs while being rooted.
You just can't install them while rooted though. So revert to your pre-root backup (YOU BACKED UP YOUR /SYSTEM BEFORE ROOTING, RIGHT??!??) and then install the OTA.

But here you missed the GOLDEN CHANCE TO HUMILIATE them! I would have typed this, >>>> "LIKE WE DO CARE? HA HA HA! Look MotoJokers, if update comes to one UnRooted/Locked phone, it will be on all Rooted/UnLocked Phones within few hours! Go ahead and prove yourself loser. BTW I am on Brazil Lollipop 5.0.1"

Thats not always true. The update installer can easily trace the status of UNLOCKED bootloader and may refuse to install. Thats mostly possible. So dont just under-estimate. Update procedures can also recognize the rooted phone status and reject to install.
Does not matter if one unlocked/rooted phone gets next update, most people here on xda will have within few hours.

In this case it's true, but if you don't beleive me, you can go to motorola owner's forum and ask them.
If people got the OTA's, then some of them will upload it so rooted and/or impatient users can flash them manually right?

Then each LG user can flash his own ROM and solve security issues very quickly with the community.

you have unlocked the bootloader, so you have a custom recovery and could of course install any rom .
Sure at the moment there are not a lot roms available, but the official ones are however posted...
beside that, i don't think that unlocking the bootloader (and rooting the phone) will disable the OTA feature...

Yeah they couldn't OTA as they had rooted, not because they had unlocked their bootloader.
OTA are still made available to people with unlocked bootloaders, just not to people who have rooted. At the end of the day you can just find the KDZ and flash it to update or make an update zip to do it from custom recovery.

That might be right, but as they said a simple unroot wouldn't work.
And BTW what is the point in unlocking the bootloader when you don't want to root?
I mean custom rom maybe but they are usually rooted as well for obvious reasons etc.

It should be possible to patch most everything -- however, if any of the partition hashes don't match, those partitions couldn't be patched. That would make minemeat out of the partition if you forced it, since they are updating blocks, and not direct files.

No, the bootloader unlocking process changes more than just the recovery. It changes boot, system, and fastboot as well. So even if you reflash a stock recovery, if the OTA tries to patch any of those other partitions, it'll fail. This is why people have been clamouring ZTE to post full system images, so people who unlocked their BL can roll back to full stock in order to get OTAs.
Plus, we don't know if ZTE will use the IMEIs of people who officially submitted a bootloader unlock as exceptions to the OTA rollout.

They have to be using a list like that. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to roll out the bootloader unlock OTA to the right phones.
Which of course, is still silly -- they should have used the method others use where it's just baked into the OS and you have to request the appropriate code to provide during unlock. Then everyone would be on the same software load.
I am on my new stock phone I just picked up from Best Buy yesterday. I check the updates screen and it shows MiFavor 4.0 and my current version of B20. I haven't hit next yet but how would I capture the OTA?

I'm still on stock. How would I go about capturing the OTA when it's released next week?
Also, it looks like the bootloader unlock request form on the ZTE site is no longer available, but instead says: "The form AXON 7/Pro Bootloader Unlock Request is no longer accepting responses. Try contacting the owner of the form if you think this is a mistake."
That could mean something significant (free bootloader unlocks for everyone with no voiding of warranty!) or it could mean that they borked something on the backend (I think it was a Google form, so any number of things could have changed that caused the form to disappear).

If you are running and adb logcat on your computer (or your phone) when you check for and/or download the OTA, the full link for the OTA should be in there somewhere. Or, to just save the file, after you download it but before you apply it, you can copy it off of the internal sd card partition. Getting the download location is better though, then people can download it directly for themselves.

This is Coming from a ZTE-Employee which many of us know him from ZTE-Community

ZTE has not changed their opinion on unlocking the bootloader. The bootloader will still be unlockable.
I have temporarily stopped the form from accepting new requests for good reason.
1.) The process for unlocking the bootloader will be changing if all goes well with testing. (This includes stock image)
2.) There is a software update coming next week - Since stock images have not yet been released, instead of adding more customers to the mix of those who will not be able to update, I've decided to not let this happen.

so that is GREAT news and something else meaning Unlock Bootloader Request or process will be different
I got the popup for a System Update pending. I'm on BRA1 now.
Any reason not to take it?
Where can see the Patch Notes (Never have been to find them easily. The Samsung 'official' would be fine, but is there some fan site that digs digger for techies who want to get past marketing speak and bullet points?
Thanks
Nope don't take it...best thing to do is to wait until you find out whether or not you can Odin back to old firmware...if you one of those who like to mod I would seriously wait until you find out more about it...nothing good ever comes from those who jump the gun...he'll were lucky enough to have root and modifications despite our locked bootloader. (Knocking on wood)

I just tried to root with it, but got stuck in a bootloop. I'm not sure if it's the update, but I'm not new to rooting and know my way around. Fairly certain I didn't screw anything up in the process.
