Hey guys I'm fairly new to this scene and I was wondering if anyone knows if I'm able to flash a newer up to date bootloader and be able to revert back to an old one.
There's this rom Custom Rom that needs a specific bootloader (AQG5) for Oreo but I'm not to sure if I wanna flash it because I wanna be able to go back the previous version Nougat.
Thanks you. Rei-

This should be an easy question to answer for those of you that have had this device for any length of time. I am a new nexus user, I just received it yesterday, in fact. Here is my current setup, Android N beta program ota (latest) with unlocked bootloader, twrp, and systemless root. My question is, can I flash any rom of my choosing, marshmallow based or otherwise or do I need to be on stock marshmallow to start flashing the current roms? I ask this because I'm not sure if I'm on the correct bootloader, etc.....
Thank you in advance.

The latest Marshmallow build uses the same bootloader and radio as the Android N Developer Preview, so nothing to worry about there. You would need to flash the correct vendor image for the build that the ROM (you want to flash) is based on. This is standard procedure when flashing a ROM on this device anyway though.
Hey guys...
I have been running the official 3.0 beta for a week and now I want to revert to 2.2.1.
I know I have to downgrade TWRP (right?) but I find the posts a little clttered som I need a straight answer.
What do I need to go back? I would like to keep a modded recovery and I intend to root it afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-helper-zips-to-switch-oos-3-0-oos-t3351253
just follow this tutorial and flash back your 2.2.1 rom and then flash SuperSU to root it
I read that one but I´m unsure that the recovery is a modded one (TWRP)... cause I wanna keep that. But from what I understand I have to flash an older TWRP for Lollipop?
Edit: Nevermind... I got it. Now I just have to find the Stock 2.2.1
Finally upgraded to a 10 from M8. Glad I did. Right now I have it s-off and bootloader unlocked. Do I have to relock bootloader to flash RUU like the M8? Right now I am running Stock Sprint ROM. My question is how do I remove bloat and gain root? I have always been using SuperSU but now I want to try Magisk. My plan is to flash TWRP first and then Magisk on my Sprint ROM and manually remove bloat myself. I wonder if I flash the WWE_deoxed or Dev version would I mess up my radio and LTE bands/prl update ability? My goal is to have a Stock rooted sense rom with Magisk that works with my carrier Sprint. Also, I want to have the ability to have OTA updates from HTC directly if possible. If I have to flash the WWE or Dev version that's cool but I don't know if I have to change my CID or not. I just want a pure sense rom that works with Sprint and able to take updates? Btw what are the differences between WWE or Dev since my bootloader is already unlocked? will I be able to flash magisk on these two roms? I have read over the forums but there are too much information someone guide me in the right path please. thanks and god bless!

Rooting this device is no different than the M8, for the most part. Before you flash any sort of custom ROM I highly suggest making a backup of your current ROM, to include the system image, as this will help you take OTA updates in the future. Second, if you check OMJ's threads in the Sprint development forum you will find stock rooted ROM's for the 10. I believe he also has Magisk versions that you can install, if you so desire. As far as relocking the bootloader to run a RUU, that's not necessary now. If you plan on using a custom Nougat ROM you will need the latest TWRP recovery, which can be found in Captain Throwback's TWRP thread in the main HTC 10 development forum. I can't really help you with the rest of your questions, as I have a Sprint 10 and run ROM's that work for the device that don't require any sort of modification to the device outside of having an unlocked bootloader with S-off and TWRP.

Thanks for the reply. I am glad I don't have to relock and unlock bootloader again for RUU. Many thanks to Captain Throwback who has been providing stock roms since M8 days. Is there any ways to remove Sprint bloat? I wanted to go to the HTC 10 forum and flash Sprint_WWE rom but i don't know if it will mess up my modem or radio. Any ideas?
I saw that the BadBoyz Modded Rom have Magisk Flash option. What about Stock rooted rom Badboyz posted? I dont see an option to flash Magisk zip onto it. Do I grab a Magisk file from Generic HTC 10 topjohnwu's forum and flash it with Badboyz sprint stock rooted rom? will it be compatible and do I need TWRP to do the steps above? thanks!
Hi,
With all these issues like "IMEI 0" and volte not working, i just want to know a easy way to restore back to latest version of stock rom for indian variant with all the things working and a locked bootloader
Many Thanks!!!
I have the same question, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone but it broke the camera app,so i have installed the different kernel as a work round to get the camera working. But i want to go back to the stock rom with stock kernel. Can someone please guide us through
So I really want to install a custom rom and I know I need to unlock the boot loader and flash it with twrp. But I been reading around here and it seems unlocking the bootloader on Oreo is not possible and the only way to do that is to downgrade to nougat... except I don’t really know how to do this on my device since as previously stated, the boot loader is not unlocked and I don’t know where the stock rom for nougat is even available to download from, or any necessary tools to download to be able to do this (I’m a complete noob). Some info of my device: A2017u, Oreo, B20
Help would be appreciated, thank you
I think you may need to go back to Marshmallow to unlock bootloader and install TWRP but I'm not on an A2017U so won't try to advise you.
I did revert my own A2017G from latest Oreo back to Nougat ok. Since gone back to Oreo. It seems to work when stock but once you meddle with it that's when all the problems start.
