[Q] Bootloader upgrade after Android 5.0 update

I have updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0 manually via "adb sideload" and noticed, that the bootloader was not upgraded.
Should i upgrade my bootloader manually?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
Greetings,
mst0

Does nobody know an answer?

It's the same bootloader as the last preview so if you were using that it won't change

I've never installed the preview.
I updated from 4.4.4 to 5.0 and noticed, that my bootloader didnt't upgrade(but the radio did).

(To the top)

If your stock then when a update comes out it won't install. Other then that it doesn't affect anything.

So if i don't upgrade manually i won't be able to update Android.
Did i understand this correctly?
Are there any downsides, if I upgrade the bootloader?

If your running perfectly fine now then don't worry about it. If in the future you have issues upgrading or device won't boot properly then update it.
If you recieve a OTA update it'll check the version number of your bootloader and if it doesn't match what it's supposed to be then the OTA will refuse to install. I ran my nexus 7 1st edition for 8 months with an older version bootloader with no neg results. Updated it when flashing the Factory image, not that it needed it. Just for the sake of argument go ahead and update the bootloader using fastboot. Google updated the bootloader for a reason right?

Is Unlocking the Bootloader prevent automatic OTA updates?

Greetings,
Just bought a brand new (directly from Google) Nexus 5. It came with 4.4.3 and immediately notified about an "update available", in which it downloaded and installed 4.4.4.
I then went on and Unlocked my bootloader in preparation for a root (I did not root yet, full stock). But I am not getting any update for Lollipop, not even when I manually Check for Updates.
Are these OTA updates come/pushed randomly, or did the Unlocking of the bootloader prevented an automatic OTA update?
I am aware of the option to manually update, I am just curious if the Unlocking prevents updates. If so, if I re-lock the bootloader again will I then get the OTA update?
Thanks.

No, it doesn't change anything. OTA updates are staged so you just probably haven't had it yet...

Unlocking does not affect OTA. But keep in mind you'll likely have to re-root if you get auto updated.

Thank you both!
Am I correct to assume that Rooting also will not prevent OTA updates?

It won't prevent getting the ota but it will prevent it from installing

Gota. So either:
Stock+Root and no updates
Stock+No-Root
Or Root+Custom
?!

In order for the ota to install you have to be 100% stock system, kernel, recovery, and radio. If you've modified any of those you'll have to return them to stock before the ota will install. There are ways to do that but it depends on the specifics of any modifications you've done to the device. Frankly, it's easier to just flash the new factory image than it is to take the ota if you've modified your device.
Edit, to the best of my knowledge modifying your device, short of deleting our freezing some system files specifically related to receiving updates, will not prevent you from getting the ota, just installing it.

OK, so just to make sure I understand: Is Unlocking the Bootloader making my system not 100% stock? Which means, even if the update downloads it will not install?
Also - again, if I understand correctly - based on what you say I can root, I will receive the update OTA but it won't install. Is this correct?

If you just unlock the bootloader you should have no trouble installing the ota. You'll have to unroot to install the ota. You can use the full unroot option in supersu

From AT&T Website:

Select All Settings > General.
Select About phone > Software update > Update Now.
If not connected to Wi-Fi, message reads  A software update is available for your device that requires Wi-Fi connectivity for download process to begin. Connect to Wi-Fi network? (If already connected, skip and go to step 5)
A new software update from AT&T is available for your device. This software update will take several minutes and will not delete any personal data on your device. All services (including emergency calls) will be suspended during the install.

http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB423381&cv=820

One thing i noted is that phone is much more snappy afterward. maybe it's because of the cache rebuild that every build do or maybe there is some secret ingredient added in this update.

Very surprised to see another update from AT&T for the G2. I wonder if there's any chance of seeing 5.1.1 or 6.0.

Does this mess with root?

You can't update with root, at least I haven't been able to.
When updating it will just kick you back to the home screen with a message telling you, you're suspected of rooting and updates are not supported for rooted devices.
I also tried the method discribed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/links-manually-forcing-ota-20c-to-20u-t2828874 to force an update but I was unable to succeed

I'm waiting for dlpkgfile to update

How does one make this file root friendly? Wouldn't mind taking the time to do this.

i think thats the answer for no 5.1.1 i dont see why leave g2 at lollipop if its has bugs.. since they fix the stagefright on 5.1.1. so we need it 5.1.1 to get rid of this bug but aparently with this update theres no need to update to 5.1.1 but does this still have the memory leak bug?

The last command appears to force a package on the phone to start the update process without (or possibly after) a check for root, however when I run the command the nothing appears to happen making me think that the original Lollipop update(30f) either nerfed the command to prevent this kind of thing from happening, or they replaced the package with a new one for the 5.x iterations of Android. so it is a matter of waiting for people smarter than me to find out how to force the updates in the Lollipop update
TL;DR: yup I agree with you

Is there no way to unroot, install this update and then root again?

Negative

As far as I know you can't unroot a device. The way I'm doing it is reinstalling the original KK, then going trough the process of updating till the lastest update then rooting again.
I do hope someone could come up with way to install the latest update on rooted.

That did come to my mind but I felt it's just too much of a pain going that far back for a patch!

Can you people provide me the "D80030F" lollipop OTA Package file... i can not download it from any where all links says file is deleted or not available

Just download the file for which model u have and install with system recovery

Agreed. But its suggested to update to B130 first as this is stated in huawei official manual on the build number upgradable.
i m B128 user also. I have been gathering lots of info from different version users to make sure the upgrade is perfect. I've read that some users upgrade directly from B128 to B324 which then turn into nightmare and forced to return to kitkat to re-upgrade again by correct sequence. Now that i have upgraded to 5.1.1 following the correct sequence without having any issue and it works like charm!!
So the correct sequence is B128>>B130>>B324. Use the link given by our friend above to download all the files u need

No, you will still get updates from motorola.

How would people who got the soak test ota and updated there phones earlier update to official version of Android 7 ? Is it through new ota?
Can't we just side load there official update as we did with the soak test ota? I mean others who are on soak test build and didn't receive the official update.

Is the thread not clear ? I will update the thread to be more specific.
If you are on soak test currently! Then the only way as far as i know to go to the Official update is by first downgrading to marshmallow and then flashing the New OTA via recovery , you cannot directly flash(sideload) the official ota on the nougat soak test.
That's because the update is for marshmallow devices and the ota checks before installing if the phone is running the latest official marshmallow only then it flashes.

how to root?

Just installed the OTA through sideloading.
So, i couldn't wait until it ACTUALLY gets rolled out to everyone, therefore I used the OTA zip to sideload it.
Initial impression - I was actually surprised by the lack of changes on Nougat. But that's just me having used a Pixel.
Anyways, the Notification dropdown/slide is different, and slightly counter-intuitive than MM. In MM it was easy to turn on or off WiFi/Bluetooth/Data (single tap), whereas in N, you'll need 2 taps. The transitions on the notification shade are liquid-smooth, so :good:
On init, it asked me to reconfigure my SIM, where i found a particularly interesting menu... Emergency contact information... Good stuff, don't know if it was available in MM.
A cool new feature is the fingreprint to lock... Great :good:
The settings have a slightly revamped UI, but not by that much... Still feels a lot like MM.
The app drawer is the same. Was actually stupid of me to expect the Pixel launcher.
Didn't feel any changes in camera (image/video).
Opening the lockscreen is a little laggy using pattern. Opening it through fingerprint is still lightning fast.
App loading & use still the same as MM (Maybe apps need additional updates to support N).
Battery life virtually the same as stock MM.
Oh, PS - Was on stock MM, locked bootloader. Updated to N without data wipe.

Hello, could any early adopter of nougat update for G4 Plus confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency WITHOUT root(Google RIL version 12). Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you very much.

Read my link, a Moto rep already responded today that is NOT.

I have some doubt, pls feel free to help me.
1. Do we get OTA updates after unlocking bootloader (no changes in recovery, system and all), and are we able to install it as normal OTA if we get one.
2. If its possible, then can i stay in mm after downgrading from soak nougat first blur version, untill i recieve official nougat from the company directly and flash it as normal.
Thanks in advance.

I got the update myself.
Sorry i didnt add credits. The second link(mirror) i gave is the the update that i got. And moreover i confirmed from motorola support and they said it has started to roll out in batches. They have also updated the release notes if you havent seen
https://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/115401
I have owned previously Moto G 1st gen and 2nd Gen and in all of them to , you couldnt go from soak test to The official firmware with out unlocking bootloader. And i dont think this will be an exception but you guys can wait for the official release to hit everyone.

I have looked this morning and there where no release notes. I did check the site now is still no notice of upgrade:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/country-selector/software-upgrade
I guess this confusion is because of Moto...

There are any news about nougat for XT1641?

Hi, I tried to install it from MM on my 1642 and it gave me an error with signature verification
