Hi People,
I've been off rooting/unlocking for a while now since my Pixel Purchase, always played around when I owned nexuses.
Is it possible today to Unblock Bootloader and Root and yet still receive OTA updates ?
Would appreciate a reply Thanks a lot.

As far as I know, you will reveive the OTA, but you can´t install it. You have to flash the OTA or factory image by yourself.

im on my stock rom and stock everything just rooted... i do have clockwork recovery though. question is does this prevent me from getting ota updates or not? i have read various things saying that if you have a custom recovery installed it will prevent the install of the ota update but you still get the file ota.... Also, if it does work to install an ota update will i lose root? thanks
Its always recommended not to flash an OTA over a rooted ROM as it can bugger things up
you are able to receive the OTA, but it is strongly recomended not to

this will still take some time, only brazil has it currently (soak test) i think 1 mounth or more
for your bootloader issue, if you get a code anyway try it. also maybe you wrong enter the key?? look for a good guide & try again.
also maybe your provider has locked it (, after 2 yrs (no warranty more) they mostly unlock them for free. just google or ask
It's rolling out country wise. Currently there is no information on when it will rollout in each country.
Hey all,
I immediately blocked any OTA updates since I got my G4 in anticipation for root.
I have three questions
Do the AT&T OTA updates have that anti-rollback feature? I didn't see it confirmed in the thread regarding the anti-rollback but I'm not sure if the info is current.
Is the latest OTA for AT&T the 10g version? Should I enable OTA on my LG G4 now to get it prior to rooting?
Thanks.
So far as i know..no anti-rollback features..
As stated of some members here, latest ota updates doesn't affect rooting...for now

10g is the latest as of yesterday (before I rooted and blocked OTA). If you absolutely can't wait for root, then unfreeze the update apps and get the 10g OTA. If you're on 10e, there's a strong likelihood that you will softbrick your phone if you try to flash the rooted system.img (at least a couple people already did). If you can wait a couple of weeks, just hang tight and wait for codefire to release their one-click unroot since we still don't know about rolling back the bootloader or future unlockability of the 10g bootloader.
I'm on 10g and rooted. I have no intention of running a non stock rom on this device, so blocking updated with Tit back up now, removing bloat and coasting with what I've Got till we find out about a method for custom recoverys yet.
Could someone link me to the thread on how to disable the OTA function? I remember seeing it, but can't find it.

Can you or someone else please list the app(s) that need to be frozen in order to block updates? Thanks in advance.

Hello community, I used my honor 8 for couple of weeks now, and I was thinking about unlocking the bootloader.
It would be nice to have root but on the other hand there isn't much development going on and also I would like to be able to update to oreo, so will unlocking bootloader screw OTA update that should bring treble support?

Yea but it surprised me to see how many people here on xda bricked their devices trying to unlock bootloader, it seems like a real hassle compared to nexus devices... But thanks for response
So I rooted my phone a few months ago and I got bored and unrooted it. But after that I stopped getting OTA updates. My last security patch is Sept. 1 2018. Can someone explain this to me and help me atleast?
