[SOLVED] Cannot unlock boot oader on new OTA update Z008 - ZenFone 2 General

I updated my Z008 to the new LP Ota update 2.20.40.155, not rooted nor unlocked before. And now I can't unlock my bootloader using ASUS's tool. I used to successfully unlock my bootloader via that method on 2.20.40.149. Does any one have the same problem like me?
Tried: reboot, reinstall tool => doesn't work

Your bootloader must be already unlocked. Try to flash and start TWRP.

Before updating, it hadn't been unlocked. And on the new firmware, I can't unlock it

Never mind, i unlocked it by one click tool

About official rom and bootloader moto x pure 2015

If it says software status official does that mean I have the official rom not rooted and able to receive ota updates even if my boot loader is unlocked? How can I relock bootloader?
No, you should be with locked bootloader. You can read this thread, it helped me to get stock system, and also to relock bootloader so I can get OTA update to 6.0 Marshmallow.

To take OTA locked bootloader is NOT NECESSARY.
If you have a unmodified system partition and stock recovery you are good to take OTA.
Unlocked boot loader helps you to flash files through fastboot.

Relocking Bootloader

Is there a way to relock bootloader? I tried flashing stock rom via TWRP but the prompt still shows that Device cannot be trusted blalbla unlocked.
Can anyone give me a way how to relock my BL? I also tried SRK tool with relock bootloader with my Unlock code, but it doesnt work.
Thanks
EDIT: Please lock thread. I tried locking via eRecovery and it worked. Thanks
Update your device. Use the full update rom like b161, 201 or whatever you like. That will remove the unlocked bootloader and root as well.

Yes is tested: at any update (via dialer or three key pressed) with stock firmware, you lose root, twrp and unlocked bootloader (if you have root, twrp and bootloader unlocked).

Want to relock bootloader

I tried to root H918 T-Mobile, and ended up with just an unlocked bootloader, and no TWRP install.
I'd like to re-lock the bootloader, but I can't find any instructions. Any unroot instructions I've seen, include using TWRP.
Thanks!
Same here, before i ended up bootloader unlocked. Well decided to relock the bootloader
Just fastboot oem locked

Old thread but i found it while trying to restore my US996 back to factory. The kdz method works then you just run the fastboot command to relock the bootloader. Amazing it was that easy to relock the bootloader....
I flashed the 10s update to h918 and very stupidly forgot to flash root so I'm stuck on unrootable 10s. I want to lock my bootloader so can at least have Android Pay working, if i lock it can it be unlocked again or do i have to wait for a root method for the new 10s software?

I think you can unlock /relock as many times as you want. Root take place after unlocking but you can't do that anymore.
I rooted my v20 f800l a few months ago using dirty Santa method. Everything was going fine until I decided to reset my phone via twrp. I selected system, internal memory, cache and ended up without an os with only access to twrp. I had a nandroid backup but twrp couldnt read or detect the nandroid backup files. With nothing else left to do i flashed it with a kdz file version 10e using lgup software. Now I have my phone running fresh os very smoothly but the bootloader is locked and root/twrp is not there anymore. Now I plan on rooting it again as I'm still on 10e version but I'm not sure if there is a bootloader lock/relock limit, I've already unlocked bootloader once and locked it once, can I do it again? Or is there a limit to it? Please help

We don't have it for any variant... Don't know if we ever will, never been leaked and the sources for them are questionable if we will ever get any more factory images at all.
What is the problem?

Why do you want relock BL? It can help with... nothing.
You can flash the newest version RetEu 6.0.1 with oem_lock commands.
I suggest rather:
Flash the first 6.0.1 reteu 24...58 without locking
If everything will be ok:
Flash the last 6.0.1 24...58-5 with locking BL.
After it you should get one or two OTAs.
Remember: bootloop with locked BL - only authorized service can help.

Oh, probably wont do that then.
Another question, can i download the android 7 ota uodate when i get it still? With an unlocked bootloader saying "Offical" and twrp?
So far ota update is only for 24...58-13.
With twrp you can't install any ota update.
Unlocked BL doesn't matter for OTAs.

Exactly, i need to get rid off twrp, but i can only do that if i flash a stock recovery, which i cant
It might be worth trying this older firmware whose name suggests that it is reteu for UK and FR, and seeing if newer OTAs show up:
https://firmware.center/firmware/Mo..._MPH24.49-18_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
More available here, but none of them seem like they're for UK phones:

If your bootloader is unlocked and you're trying to lock it, you could try flashing it while keeping the bootloader unlocked, and then flash it again as part of the flashboot oem lock begin -> flashboot oem lock process. (From what I've seen, the device is fine flashing older firmware with an unlocked bootloader, but not with a locked one.)

TWRP, Root, Xposed

My last android was a lollipop version and I guess there are a lot of changes and security "improvements".
On my Huawei P10 Lite (WAS-LX1 8.0.0.367 C02 / EMUI 8.0.0) I want to flash TWRP, root the stock ROM. I want also to use Xposed, but i'm afraid to not brick the phone, I also saw something regarding FRP, bootload unlock.
If it's not possible and you consider that it's more simple to install directly a custom rom, then which one?
Somebody can guide me?
For root or install a custom rom you will need unlock the bootloader and that requires an unlock code, you can get the code with DC Unlocker but it cost you some money.

First you need to use DC-Unlocker to get a bootloader code. It will cost you 4€. Then unlock your bootloader. Then install this TWRP. It works perfectly in stock EMUI 8, but in custom roms it doesn't even boot and also make sure to use "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk" and not "fastboot flash recovery". Then flash the latest magisk. And for Xposed you'll have to use v90 beta 4 version on stock EMUI 8 otherwise you'll get a bootloop. And it's not for magisk, you'll have to flash it in TWRP.

Does the DC-UNLOCKED read huawei p10 8.0.0.367?
How can Dc_Unlocker made an Bootloader Unlock Code? HUAWEI doesn't give any Bootloader Unlock Codes for anyone Out!
I would really like to Flash Costum Recovery and Root my P10Lite(WAS_LX1) android&emui 8!
Or can I flash With Stock Recovery Magisk and later Root Device and Flash Costum Recovery/Rom with locked Bootloader? Or Unlock Bootloader other Option?
Thanks a lot for every tip

You can't flash nothing with locked bootloader. You need to pay for dc phoenix credit.

DC have "backdoors" try search on their site something about bl codes.. It is your one solution because with locked bl you can't flash nothing..So pay for bl code --> unlock it --> do flash

Okay thanks,
So I decided their is an Universal Code(Key Gen.)for All Huawei/&other devices to generate an Unlock Code with the Imei Nummbers I think.
With the Right Knowing everyone could generate his Own Unlock Code.
Thanks for your Help now I Understand a bit more about Flashing and Bootloaders.

Thanks for your advices! Already done everything you said. Everything is working well, except one thing: GravityBox seems that it does no effect on my stock rom. Any idea how to make these tweaks work?
