I rooted my device previously and I unlocked the bootloader ..
now I try to update but I can't .. how can I remove the root and relock the bootloader to be able to update ?
thank you​
You don't need to remove root or relock the bootloader, what you need is to be on the stock recovery. Which device and firmware are you running?

Hi everyone,
I want to root my "One X 3.18 AT&T cws_001" to flash my boot.img because i have a reboot/crash problem. However, to root the device the bootloader must be unlocked, and to unlock the Bootloader it must be rooted Anyone have an idea of how i can resolve this ? Thanks.

If your phone is not rooted flashing boot.img doesn't apply to you. If it's completely stock do factory reset in bootloader. If that doesn't work, download and run the 3.18 AT&T RUU EXE file not ZIP file and run it with your phone plugged in.

Rooting will not fix your issue if running the RUU does not. RUU is the software fix for rooted and none rooted phones. So if an RUU does not fix it. It's a hardware issue.
Your phone needs to be operational to root/unlock.
I'm in 4.4.4 stock, locked bootloader, non-root and s-on. I want to be in stock lollipop with tethering enabled. I'm not in US
I know that I can get s-off with WeakSauce+sunshine (then root, unlock bootloader and enable tethering) , but since i'm not in US I can't get OTA update, then I have to use RUU.
Then I'm thinking to get s-off, apply Lollipop RUU, but to enable tethering i need a custom recovery, then I need to unlock bootloader. But to unlock the bootloader I need root (since I can't unlock it by htcdev) and I can't root if i have locked bootloader.
Any ideas?
the same to me, but now I have updated 5.0.1,also s-on and locked.

Sunshine gets you s-off and unlocks your bootloader so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Make sure you get s-off before you update to lollipop. Sunshine doesn't support lollipop yet. Once you have a custom recovery installed it's a simple matter of flashing a zip file in recovery to get root access.

Is there a way to just root your phone without unlocking your boot loader? I just want to simply root and install some apps that require root but that is it.
Thanks...

I'm pretty sure that you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Not sure if you can unlock - root - relock ??
I think this is not possible yet without unlocking the bootloader.

Once you unlock and relock your bootloader, its status will be relocked, so your warranty is void anyways.
So I have to unlock the boot loader first. Dam I assume that is on the difficult side of things as well...

If you want the status to show "locked" and not relocked to get your warranty back, you can use the downgrade package from nougat to marshmallow and flash stock B131.
I managed to relock my bootloader using this method : my fastboot screen says "locked" (and not "relocked")

Wait for kingroot method. No need to unlocking bootloader to root, people do it because its only one way to have root on honor 8 now - by flashing supersu in twrp, and twrp/modified recovery you can flash only if you unlocked your bootloader first.

Hi all !!!
As soon as I received my ZS551KL, I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I cannot update to Android 8 because my bootloader is unlocked, but I cannot found how to relock it for updating. I have tried fastboot oem lock and fastboot oem relock in fastboot mode without success.
Do you know how to do it?
Thank you so much :good:
You can flash raffyvito's modified Oreo zip, that way you get the stock recovery from which you flash the official Asus zip with the firmware updates, then you flash TWRP again and you're golden. You should check out his thread.
Hi guys. Do we have any news on how to relock the bootloader? Also can someone of you share the stock oreo recovery?
Hi,
So I've unlocked my bootloader to get twrp and magisk...
Being that I'm still on a stock ROM except for kernel and recovery can I relock the bootloader?
Any harm to relocking?
Thanks
