can it be done?
Yes, if they're on the same bootloader version.

My bootloader version is nxtc900b120_fastboot. What does that mean and how do I change it ? :good:
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.
Is it safe to update from Nougat 7.1.1 with bootloader unlocked to oreo without softbricking the device or do I still have to lock the bootloader and then update?
Thanks in advance.

Depending on what firmware version you are on. Due to bootloader(binary) versions increasing you cannot downgrade to a previous version, only a previous version with the same bootloader number or a higher version.
Basically if you on version 5 (bootloader/binary) you won't be able to downgrade to Oreo.
The only way is if there is a custom rom that has an Oreo favour to it.
You can still root on pie.
