On other phones, i have, unlocking bootloader does not affect OTA updates or QFIL flashing(bootloader stays unlock in both). Would it be the same on z6 pro?. Am on latest China stock rom

Hi,
I have rooted P10 Plus L29. Currently, it is on B133 and I want to update to B162. I did some research on how to update and found several methods (Link ).
I used HWOTA method when I update from B131 to B133 but unfortunately the bootloader is locked again after updated. To unlock bootloader, it will wrap all data from the device.
So, I just curious about the other method whether it will lock bootloader or not. Any suggestions on this?
Imho it is not possible to update without relocking bootloader.
I have a Xiami Redmi 4 since a while it is runnin MIUI Global 8.2 Stable, 8.2.13.0.0 (MCECNDG) but since like 6 months no updates has arrived for me, i check and the bootloader is locked, and i see now that MIUI 9 is avaible, wich procedure i need to update this little guy.
1- Unlock bootloader
2- Twrp recovery
3- Flash new rom.
????????????
Or there is another way to do it the officialy way that way i can get OTA updates?
Pd: Already tried to unlock the bootloader and this happens "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock"
Saludos.
Is it better to update to Oreo first before unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp? I have a brand new Zenfone 3 5.2 inch

You'll unlock the bootloader unofficially & will be upgraded to Oreo (warranty will not void & you'll receive OTAs)
Hi,
I'll preface this with my specs:
Model: P10 Lite
Model number: WAS-LX1 (3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage variant)
Build number: WAS-LX1C432B193
EMUI 5.1 - Android 7.0. My setup is fully stock, no mods of any sort whatsoever.
Now, I've been interested in unlocking the bootloader and trying out Oreo on the device. I've already requested the unlock code, but have not yet unlocked the bootloader itself.
Firstly, I would like to ask you if it's worth unlocking the bootloader/flashing any of the custom ROMs or stock based ROMs and if you find Oreo better than Nougat on this device. If yes, which ROMs (custom or stock-based) and recoveries do you recommend and how exactly would I go about the unlocking process? Are there any risks involved (compared to other OEMs like OnePlus) Are there any prerequisites or guides on all this? Coming from Nexus and OnePlus devices where this stuff is a breeze, I wonder how much does Huawei differ.
Thanks in advance!
First off, got the unlock code before the service shuts down. Then install TWRP via fastboot using the recovery_ramdisk command. Then update to Oreo ASAP. It's miles better than Nougat. There are no downsides other than no OTA updates with custom recovery. No DRM keys or that hassle. I'd recomment, no, insist enabling Enable OEM unlock from developer settings. Dunno how you unlock BL on pixel or OP devices, but for HUawei you enable OEM unlock. Then shut down the device, hold Vol - then connect the USB cable to the PC. here you issue the regular fastboot oem unlock *bl unlock code*.
Oreo is a godsend for this device.
Hi guys.
I am new in Xiaomi devices and a little confuse about region firmware, lock and unlock bootloader in Xiaomi phones.
My Mi 9T firmware is latest russian firmware (QFJRUXM) and bootloader locked now (I do unlock bootloader before, but re-locked and back to official FW)
Can i unlock bootloader again, install global firmware with MiFlash Tool, then re-lock bootloader?
I hear only relock after switch from china to global or reverse can break device. Is this true?
