My e8 has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. For the upcoming lollipop update, is it necessary to relock the bootloader?

No need to relock bootloader. You just have to flash stock recovery. I'm newbie, I found it somewhere else (See attached item).

Hey guys! I unlocked my bootloader keeping my DRM Keys by using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Now I'm on ZyxxOS ROM and I would like to return to stock ROM, make root and relock the bootloader.
The problem is that I don't know how I can root the phone after flashing the ftf of the stock ROM, can someone tell me how o provide me a link to a tutorial? I've searched and didn't see any around the forum

Flash an insecure kernel. Its the easiest way to root. But in the OP you said you wanted to re-lock the bootloader, then you cannot boot an insecure kernel.
Please let me know if you will have a locked or unlocked bootloader.

Why? You will lose root when you re-lock
Just go back to stock and re-lock then use the massive thread in the general section to root.
Also, that rooting method works on unlocked bootloaders as well. Anything that works on a locked bootloader works on an unlocked bootloader as well.

Hey! My Z5 is new and I don`t want to unlock the bootloader right now. It`s factory new, so Android 6.0.1 (E6653_32.2.A.0.305) is clean. no root, no superuser etc.
is there a way to root and install the twrp recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

You can root without unlocking the bootloader, but in order to install a custom recovery you have to unlock the bootloader.
For more information on rooting and unlocking the bootloader, see this thread:

You need to follow parts 1, 2, & 3 to downgrade your firmware, then you can root with iovyroot. It wasn't spelled out in the thread I linked to (sorry about that) but you'll need to go to the iovyroot thread and follow the steps there to root your phone.
Can I ask why you don't want to unlock the bootloader?

I want to root my honor 8 L04 but I was wondering if it will void my warranty.

Yes it does and the current method for rooting is kinda sketchy at this time. I'm waiting untill the lineage ROM is done and hopefully by then we will have a better rooting method.

Is it possible to relock bootloader after unlock? I've read a lot of opposing opinions about this :/

Yes you can relock the bootloader, however it will say relocked bootloader and not locked bootloader like it originally said so you can still see that the bootloader had been unlocked at some point.

To get the status "locked" back you have to downgrade to emui 4.1

I have one question, if I had unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my phone, then unrooted it, reverted to stock recovery and relocked bootloader, can I still receive OTA updates?

Hello, i have a question, it's a way to change from the stock t-mobile ROM to a stock unlocked version? i don't like the t-mobile apps and that stuff, i just made this process in my old M9 ans M8, but i don't know if the process is the same on the U11 life.
are the same steps? Unlock bootloader, make the s-off, change CID, install new ROM?
Thanks guys

Steps would be similar, Unlock bootloader, Install twrp, install new ROM.
S-off is not available for this device, no need to change CID.

Here is a question:
Where is US open market ROM for TWRP, or how can I build TWRP flashable ROM from official RUU?

Not sure on an open market ROM, to build one you will need the system and boot images from the ruu. Use the HTC-RUU Decrypt Tool to get them from the ruu.
Use superr kitchen to build the rom.
Here is a Stock rom based on the unlocked ruu 2.15.617.12
Works on T-Mobile

Hi,
My HTC U12+ just have a broken screen. I wanted to revert to original by flashing the RUU zip file. May I know if it is necessary to relock the bootloader before flashing the RUU?
Thanks in advance.
No, it's not necessary

Thanks for replying.
Some people said it is required to ***RELOCKED** the bootloader first and some said no need. So I relock it by FASTBOOT OEM LOCK just for safe.
And I also followed the guide for U11 and it worked.
