questions about root and unlock bootloader

Hi all,
I want to ask to confirm a few things since my experience with android almost came from samsung notes, and I always unlock bootloader and root it right after I get my phones. Thanks in advance.
I bought a moto x pure edition from bh photo recently, and was thinking about unlock bootloader, root and enjoy the some features that need root access and/or customized room.
But I see that the vanilla (manufacturer) rom is very good and the release of OTA updates are relative reliably fast. My questions is
if I unlock bootloader and root, do I still have the OTA capability (I have to ask since I have not explore a lot customized room side of the moto x pure edition)?
if yes, what will happen if the OTA is applied? phone relocked or bootloader unlock and root access as usual?
Thanks

If you unlock bootloader, you will still have OTAs, but, im not sure if you root will still have OTA, i think yes, i think you loose OTAs if you change something in the firmware, but im not sure with the root tbh...

If you are unlocked only, it has zero effect on updates... if you unlocked and modified in anyway (root, TWRP, Xposed, whatever) the update with fail and either get stuck in recovery or bootloop, usually just wiping cache will get it booting again. OTAs cannot be applied unless you are purely stock.
Moto's will not relock the bootloader unless you specifically do it, but really there is no need to ever... other than purely security, there is nothing that can be regained by relocked that was lost in unlocking, including your warranty. Once you have been issues an unlock token, whether it is used or not, your warranty is gone forever.
Also be aware that rooting Moto's on Marshmallow is a bit different than older ways of rooting and requires a few extra steps, do your research on systemless and you won't have any problems.

help with unlock , twrp , root

i am about to buy an Axon7 and after reading sooo much and being new to ZTE (new terms and what not) Currently on htc m8 for the past 2+ years.
am a bit confused on unlocking bootloader , installing twrp and gaining root., ie. "dont unlock till take update" , "if on v.Bxx cant install twrp till …".
anyways ; can anyone point me to a more or less definitive guide , least risky of course ; on unlocking , twrp and root.

"err on the side of kindness"

One of your best choice is using @bkores tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108
Another is long way ,by rolling back to MM B20 then unlock and update / jump from MM to N 7.1.1 using my TWRP Flashable Zips.

[Request] How to root with traditional method?

Hello everyone, I request your help with this topic, I want to root my MI A1 but via the traditional method (unlock bootloader, install TWRP and flash SuperSu) but so far I haven't found any guide and tools needed for this root method, only Magisk which I'm not pretty confident, so, can anybody guide me and us with this method? I find it easier even though having to install stock OS in order to get updates.
Thanks in advance!

But if you are thinking about SuperSu, i would advice to reconsider Magisk. It is actually better in many way since it is systemless. and the procedure to root and use is just as easy if not easier

Thread cleaned....If you cant help, do not post. That's simple enough.
Its always nice to help so you can always point him in the right direction

Unlock and root Galaxy S8 (Exynos)

Hi guys,
want to unlock/root my S8: I heard there are very good variants of Camera app so I want take advantage about this.
I have the exynos (europe). I found many threads but not a specific one. I tried to search for a specific guide but I did not found.
I understand I have to "oem unlock" through developer option.
So I'm able to flash this TWRP trought Odin.
After that I have to root flashing Magisk through TWRP ?
And later I can choose a ROM to be flashed (any special to suggest?).
Is it important If I start from 7.0 ore 8.0 for all the above process?
All these processes are reversible? What about knox protection?
Thank u in advance,
ciao
