Hello,
Please advise hot to update my Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L09CO2B102 to OREO.
Currently Stock Rooted EMUI 5.1 - Android 7.0 - TWRP 3.1.0-0 - root Superuser Koushik.
Did not update since purchase in June 2017. No security updates as well. I deactivated the updater.
Now I would like to update to OREO, update TWRP, and root.
Please advice how to.
Hi.
I see my head-unit around with updates versions on android 7.1 nougat and some with 8.0 oreo.
Mine is stuck on 6.0 marshmellow.
Is there any way to update these units to the latest software?
I am curious about these issues, my question is the following when I unlock my Bootloader I can do an update via OTA when it arrives on my device? Or is my phone going to have Hard Brick?
I want to give a Downgrande on my smartphone but it is still in stock without any modification. And through the tutorials I read ask for the unlock Bootloader. My intention is to only downgrade. A friend of mine gave the following idea: "unlock the bootloader to then downgrade and after it has been successfully done." I search how to lock the bootloader again using CMD to put a system with the bootloader locked and so in the future I will be able to receive updates via Ota. " Does This Worker Ideas In Practice?
This my Frist Post here If I make a mistake, tell me, we will not repeat.:fingers-crossed:
When it comes to being able to receive updates when bl is unlocked, that's a yes, it will work fine and won't affect your phone's functionality.
On the other hand downgrading is generally a bad idea. The problem is, when you update your phone your bootloader also gets an update. All parts of the OS except for the bootloader can be downgraded to a previous version, and if you do that, the downgraded OS can function normally on the newer bootloader.
Now comes the tricky part. If you try to do an OTA on a downgraded OS with a new bootloader, the OTA will treat the bootloader as if it were the old one, and will overwrite parts of it that it shouldn't, which will corrupt it. And there you have a pricey paperweight.
The only way of updating a downgraded device is to flash it clean with a newer version (or the version same as the bootloader).
Now what is the reason you'd want to downgrade?

My bootloader is unlocked.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware and because I was rooted I flashed the firmware I was on at that moment (no down - or upgrade) again and after that I was able to apply and install every single OTA up to the latest. I could have flashed the latest Oreo firmware directly too but I wanted to test this way and to update by flashing latest firmware would have been possible after that too.
So updating via OTA with an unlocked bootloader was no problem for me.
In the end you get the unlock code from Motorola itself and it would be kind of strange if they won't deliver updates anymore for a feature they provide for their devices.

This is a thread for potter (Moto G5+) so your question most probably won't be answered here.

I am planning on to unlock bootloader only will I continue recieving official updates from Samsung and able to install them (not flashing that, OTA ones). I am not going to install custom recovery or kernel or even custom rom. Will it work that way?

Hello,
I have a tablet galaxy tab a 8 sm-t290 that I updated to Android 11, but now I want to downgrade it to Android 9. Could you please guide me through the process of how to do this?
You can't, because new bootloader can't be downgraded to a supported unlockable version
