I have update my bootloader to 41.19, actually I can flash any rom I Iike , the only question is when I flash 4.4,there are some waves,but it will disappear after first turning off the screen, so I think you dont have to go back to 41.18.

Unable to update from 5.0 to 5.0.1 on stock

I am on stock lollipop 5.0 but flashed 4.4.2 radio on it using fastboot few weeks ago and locked the boot loader back.
I got 5.0.1 update and it downloads ,reboots and starts to install and hangs with a red icon halfway through the install.
Anybody know what I will need to do to update without losing any data or unlocking boot loader?

You can`t do anything if you don`t unlock the bootloader and flash the 5.0 radio or flash the 5.0.1 factory image, you can backup your apps and data with Helium.

That will be last resort but I was just trying to find out why the update doesn't work for me even though I'm on stock 5.0

Your radio is not 5.0 compatible (stock), everythinhg has to be 100% stock and not rooted to be able to install the OTA
And if I unlock bootloader I will lose my data. Right?

Yup, there is no other way though. Backup everything you can before you unlock.
-Edit- You could try to root the device with CF Auto Root, install Bootunlocker from PLay and unlock the Bootloader without loosing data. Then unroot from the superSU app and flash the 5.0. radio, wipe caches in recovery or fastboot erase cache and see if the OTA can be installed
by sideloading it in stock recovery, link to the OTA http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217

I believe you need to downgrade to lp before you can unlock the bootloader and install twrp.

how to downgrade and what is the unlock boot loader ?
and when i bought phone what is the default ? that boot loader is locked ?
You may be able to use the Panasonic Eluga software to downgrade to lp.
You must unlock the bootloader to install twrp and cm.
Some info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-tools-idol-3-5-5-4-7-t3441781
When flashing anything to any phone, things can go wrong; therefore, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with flashing and be ready in case of disaster.

You can't flash twrp unless the bootloader is unlocked. The bootloader cannot be unlocked on MM, only LP.

Good.
What version Android was your phone on before the problem?
Were you on stock (factory) or on custom ROM?
Surely you weren't on Kitkat for almost 3 years?

When you downgrade back to lower stock, you have to omit gpt.bin command. Because you have a newer bootloader.
This is also why you can't take OTA. Because it tries to install a different bootloader (which is probably still older than what you had with custom ROM). If you wanted stock 5.0.2 again, you have to flash full stock image and omit the gpt.bin command.
Are you able to use volume and power button to the bootloader screen?

Before this trouble, were you ever on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1? If so, you can flash back to full firmware of that, but needs to be the very latest. I'll find a link for you.
Also, do you have TWRP installed and did you have a backup you can restore?

Yes before this problem I was in the latest 6.0.1 and the stock I have here when I installed had a security update

OK, then that's the bootloader you were on and will always be on. You need to reflash that latest version (with the security update) to repair. Just reflash the entire full firmware.
There's a link to it here in this forum. I'll find it when I get home, if you don't have it.
Then in the future, if you try to downgrade, you always have to flash full stock version EXCEPT you omit the gpt.bin file. Whether 4.4.4 Kitkat or 5.0.2 Lollipop.
And you can never take OTA.
Because you really have 6.0.1 bootloader.

This is the most likely because all the methods say so old and not one was and when I try to pass any old stock also will not always get that error in the bootloader in the gptbin downgrade logs

You can not flash any older gpt.bin files. You have to omit (leave out) that flash command.
Your gpt.bin file is 6.0.1, and you cannot downgrade. Even on 4.4.4, trying to accept the 5.0.2 OTA update is still older gpt.bin file in that OTA than your 6.0.1.

Face first you're a myth. I just passed gpt.bin and got the bootloader ... I'm very happy. Do I need to pass the entire rom ??

Relock bootloader for warranty

Hi, is It possible to relock bootloader for to have warranty back?
Thanks
once you flash the stock img, it will be locked again.
Till Nougat, we had dload method which locks it fully (other method for unlocking it would just re-lock it)

Hey, i am in the same situation and after flashing the stock rom + stock recovery my bootloader is still unlocked, and i still get that "This device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen on boot.
Is there any way to manually lock the bootloader?
Edit: i found this SRKTool and i was able to easily relock the bootloader. You need the Unlock code though and it resets your phone, so backup your data.

Yes it will only relock the bootloader but not lock. Anyone experienced with this can get this that you had unlocked your bootloader earlier

i Read somewhere that if u flash the stock rom using dload after u have relocked the bootloader, the bootloader status will change from relock to locked. does this work? can anyone try and confirm this? i want to make sure of this before i unlock. I would be greatful forever.

Why you want to relock, to gain warranty?
If so, better dload the current firmware and it will lock it safely.
because, i dont want to see everytime when i reboot my phone,this stupid message, who tells me that i have unlock bl...
i have 8.1.0.151 (c432)
i was downloaded this version when im trying to rebranding.. for official site..
if i relock with this version, the worse scenario it will be...??? brick???
if i dload the current firmware, i will install it with TWRP again? and after it will be locked safety?
and what firmware i must to dload?

Not able to lock my bootloader again in my Redmi Note 7 Pro

I sucessfully installed Orange Fox Recovery in my Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet). But then after that I wanted to go back to the stock rom so I flashed it with Mi Flash. The Rom which I flashed was Global Stable Fastboot Rom (Version 11.0.8.0) but after flashing an error appeared that the system has been destroyed. Then I tried to unlock my bootloader, that took place successfully and my phone booted but the bootloader was still unlocked, I want to lock my bootloader. But whenever I do this the System Gets Destroyed.
You probably have the Chinese version and are flashing the Indian rom. Try to flash the Chinese rom and lock the bootloader and see if it works.

I want to relock my bootloader.
After unlocking bootloader I am facing just one issue, that is, my internet goes off (volte signal + internet) while receiving an incoming call. While it does not goes off and internet works fine when making outgoing calls. Are you also facing this issue? I am using Airtel.
Also, can someone please help us out?
I have did same it will work for me with unlocked bootloader and got a little issue with accessibility player in youtube
