Hey guys -
Just got a Razr HD Maxx. It came with the 9.16.6.XT926 firmware.
I used Matt Groff's tool to unlock my bootloader and have confirmed that it's locked. My system is asking if I want to upgrade to 9.18.79.XT926 via OTA.
Question: If I take the OTA now (AFTER I UNLOCKED MY BOOTLOADER), will it re-lock it?
Thanks!!

For any current ota you bootloader ability will be unchanged.
For 4.4 unknown.

So, just to confirm: If i take this OTA with an unlocked bootloader, it will remain unlocked?

Is it possible to relock the bootloader on this device?
The usual "fastboot oem lock" command does not work. I want relock for recevice OTA message update of kitkat.
Thanks
You can't relock the BL once its been unlocked. Having an unlocked boot loader won't prevent you from taking OTAs as long as you are running 100% unrooted stock with stock recovery

The only devices for which you can relock the bootloader are the ones on this page : https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/rom-images
As far as OTAs are concerned it has already been discussed back when JB 4.1.2 was getting released with the whole Rogers fastboot image vs official OTA. You will get OTA even if bootloader is unlocked.
Hi all,
I have a rooted and unlocked Nexus 5. Just wondering if my bootloader will remain unlocked after Lollipop update, either through OTA or factory image. I need the bootloader to remain unlocked in case an unlocked bootloader becomes the prerequisite for rooting forever.
Thanks!

The bootloader will only lock if you specifically lock it using fastboot or an app. No other way

So a locked bootloader remains locked and an unlocked one stays unlocked if I don't change anything in the OTA zip or Factory Image when flashing? Or don't specify it in adb?

Yes. Though fastboot is not adb. two different things
Thanks!
Just got my OnePlus One yesterday and I was gonna unlock the bootloader but there is a update out.
So my question is:
Do I update THEN unlock the bootloader?
Do I unlock the bootloader THEN update?
Does it matter?
Thank you

It doesn't matter - just unlock it before you install anything
Doesn't matter at all, as @spanna said. The bootloader can be unlocked no matter which build you're on.

Just need a yes or no. I've read tons of threads but can't get a simple yes or no. I inherited this phone so I couldn't unlock before taking an update. Can I root this phone:
Yes
or
No
No, you cannot currently root a Pixel on NMF26O with the default locked bootloader. The current root method requires an unlocked bootloader, and the exploit that previously allowed the Verizon bootloader to be unlocked does not work on NMF26O.
Can you flash back to OEM image and unlock then reflash new build then root?

No. You can't flash unless it is already unlocked.
Do you still receive oxygen updates OTA if the bootloader is unlocked?

Yes, it will be the full version.
Same when you also have twrp installed (follow the correct procedure to retain root)
