I currently am on the ATT Android O beta FW and want to switch over to the un carrier firmware, before this locked bootloader thing happens, can someone please help lead me in the right direction?
Thanks
The only way to get Unlocked Oreo firmware is to be through the beta program right now. The only available beta firmwares are carrier versions.
Is it possible for me to downgrade to unlocked Android N? I'd rather have the unlocked FW over the O beta
How can I come back to stock with relocked bootloader from android oreo...I heard some issues regarding volte people's are facing....moreover...while locking the OEM it's shows the typical types of errors....can anybody give me a solution for how to relock the bootloader with stock android who had came from oreo roms??
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?
I have an international unlocked moto g6 plus. With build id opws27.113-89-5
I have it unlocked and rooted. But everytime I try to update to android 9.0 pie, it ultimately fails.
Any help would be great.
I am on the Nokia 6 TA-1025, and I can't figure out how to unlock the bootloader, as most of them are for the TA-1021. I am on the September security update of Android Pie. Thanks in advance!
