Does the bootloader update when you install a new version of a stock rom such as 2.3.4 or how do you update it?
No, once you unlock it, it's going to stay unlocked unless you do a fastboot oem lock
There is no such thing as updating the bootloader
There is alot of confusing info here. locked, unlocked rooted, relocked... I have a new phone, just activated it, want to unlock and root. I havn't done anything yet.
1) should I wait until official update, download update, then unlock, root?
2)root, unlock, flash ruu?
3) other
Thanks for any help

the latest leaked update 1.85 isn't rootable so if you want to unlock your bootloader and get in on that fun you should go ahead and do it rather than wait.

i'm still on 1.73 and looking to root only for the purpose of being able to install root-only apps, and not for the purpose of flashing custom roms. if you say that 1.85 isn't rootable, does this mean i should root before getting the update (whenever it becomes available from Rogers)? and if i do take this route, will the update unroot my phone?

1.85 is possible to root and Bootloader unlock. First root your phone ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167)
Then use this tool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 ). That will unlock your bootloader and install SuperCID (that's why we do it, for SCID).
After unlocked, you must relock your bootloader, flash 1.85 RUU, then unlock again, flash cwm, and flash Superuser ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676101 ).
Good luck. It can happen, it's just a long process.

That method is incompatible with 1.85. You will receive an error when trying to root it with that.
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?
Hello,
A few days ago I managed to go back to a stock rom from a custom one. I have a FRD-L09432B360 firmware at the moment, but the bootloader is unlocked. I don't remember the code I used to unlock the bootloader, and I'd like to relock the bootloader so I am able to update to the latest firmwares. I've read that by downgrading to Marshmellow the bootloader will relock itself.
I am following this guide to do so, but when I reboot to apply the UPDATE.APP of the rollback package, it get stucks on 5% for a while, and after a few minutes it reboots, leaving me with the same firmware.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Is there another way to relock the bootloader without the unlocking code?
Thanks a lot,
Mcat
I still haven't been able to fix this issue? Any idea is appreciated, thanks
You don't need to relock the bootloader to update. Use hurupdater
Do you still receive oxygen updates OTA if the bootloader is unlocked?

Yes, it will be the full version.
Same when you also have twrp installed (follow the correct procedure to retain root)
