Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I'm currently on 20i with root and TWRP and would like to upgrade to 20o+root+TWRP without erasing data. Is this possible?

that will be hard to do, bcuz bootloader gets lock and you need to unlocking again (don't quote me on that) and that process will erase data, what you can do is the Following :
1- Do a 20i Data only backup. (i say Data only cuz if you do Full Backup and you update to 20o you won't be using all of it for Hard-Brick reason)
2- Update using KDZ.
3- Follow existing Unlock Bootloader + TWRP + Root procedures.
4- Once that done just Reboot to TWRP and Restore DATA - Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
will take time but is the only way i can think off right now.

At the moment there is no possibility for that available because there is no flashable zip for the ota. If you want to go to 20o then you have to sacrifice your data ( you can use titanium backup on your own risk ). But Rooting and TWRP method are same as 20i for 20o.

okey... so my question is. if unlocked. and get hit by bootloop. can i relock it? and remove the message during boot? flash stock rom and be sent to either LG ot TMO.? it doesnt need to boot into android right so relocking could be achieve even with bootloop.. and then sent for repair with locked bootloader.?

you only problem will be entering Fastboot mode.... IF you unlock and didn't flash TWRP as far as i know only way to get your G4 back to normal if you get hit with Bootloops even with unlock bootloader is using LGUP + KDZ, but you need to use the same version you using right now , for sample if you are in 20o flash 20o kdz, cuz if you flash 20i you'll get Hard-brick and i don't know a way to fix that..

am on 10N and ive used 20i. and am not going onto 20o. its V3 antirollback so i want to stay here where i can go back to LP. i didnt get it.
you saying that flashing KDZ will remove the message that its unlocked.? doesnt phone stay unlockdd forever?
its fastboot mode same as download mode?? am very confused.
so if i get bootloop i cant enter fastboot and relock it.? then flash stock KDZ then phone would be like locked but with bootloop.. bootloop issue its only during booting into android.?
this is so confusing LOL... sorry. i just want to make sure i can relock it if i get bootloop if not then am staying locked untill warranty.

1- you didn't mention before you are in 20i , so i was assuming you were n 20o
2- i really doubt you'll get bootloop when unlocking the bootloader. (i'm 100% sure about that)
3- like you said IF (BIG IF) you get bootloop you can just boot your G4 in Download Mode and flash 20i KDZ with LG UP and get back to normal.
4- Unlocking the Bootloader doesn't mean you can't relocked back again after flashing the 20i KDZ OR unlocking....Relock bootloader is as easy as unlocking it.
5- Download Mode and Fastboot Mode are 2 different things and Download Mode (Flash KDZ) can be access if you have bootloop or not

are we both talking about the same bootloop?? the bootloop that can only be fixed by LG sednding for repair or named ILAPO?? cause when i unsintalled playsote and Gservices that updated after reboot i got bootloop but flashing KKDZ fix it.. i talk about the one that the motherboard main cores disconects and needs to be sent to LG.. if bootloader unlocked the warranty is void . just want to unlock it. be sure that i can relock it. then flash stock rom and send it to LG.. when they see phone they can see its locked.

The infamous bootloop is caused by the phone serial number...like 506-508 or 606 ive heard....i have 508...not a bootloop yet...but am always backing up..either tb[titainum backup] or lg backup..
Am on 20i rooted+TWRP unlocked bootloader h811...i just received the update yesterday...i was shocked cuz i know or at least thought i got rid of all ota files..but nope..i havent updated yet cuz i wanted to read up on this update and see if its root-able and twrp was able to install..am going to update thru ota and reove supersu..just to be safe...ill post later iff it worked ...dirty flash...no wipe just backing up apps and calls and msgs and removing superau and using the ota to update...so ill let you guys know in the next 30mins

so you have 508 and are rooted and bootloader unlock.. what would you do in case of bootloop. my concern its to get it fix. i dont care about data. i back up requently too. having the bootloader unlocked that voids warranty.. i have not unlock it cause i do not want to void warranty. i tought i could relock it , flash stock firmware and send to LG if bootloop happens.....
for the camera and sound you must flash KDZ 20o so i heard that fixes it . some people were on 20i after getting 20o camera and sound problem..

This is my 5th g4.sold them like hotcakes...dont judge me[as my 7 yr would say]
I dont think they care about unlocking the bootloader with tmobbile..i send some in with unlock bootloader and crack screen and they send me a brand new device..lucky me right??
..but i only had 1 g4 bootloop and it was 505..and it was expected...i had twrp on it ..so when it did die of bootloop..i was still able to use twrp and it didnt bootloop in twrp unless i was doing a full backup..but if i was just backuping data it would do it...but the one i have now is a refurbished one from tmobile and am going to swapp it out today becuz of a lil yellowing of the screen near the right bottom on the nav bar...its noticeable..but thats 1 of my pet peeves...perfection on a device or any device i own...
If i was you i wouldnt worry about the bootloop unless u have a device made oct 2015...i think thats when it stop bootlooping...but i have red on reddit about some after oct 2015 still bootloop...but its a small number..
I heard that flashing 20o kdz will fix it...but i dont have a laptop in reach...so am screwed unless i make a 2hr trip..but i dont wanna do that

i get it..
mines 601 HW1.0 but i got it second hand. it was paid off i guess as its unlocked..currently using it on mexico.
i dont know how warranty works with tmobile. i dont think anyone can just walk in to store and have it fix. unless it has warranty and the owner of account its there.. i know i have warranty on LG. but they do check for bootloader unlock..
So just to be clear, it is possible to root vanilla 20o using the "official" root method found here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227
I just got my G4 that came with 20i. I'm not sure what the "kdz" is but since it was already on 20i, I unlocked the bootloader, loaded twrp, tried to install twrp but it failed saying it couldn't mount some directories, and then I flashed the SU zip and rebooted. Bootloader stayed unlocked but I didn't get root access. Anyway, I'd like to upgrade to 6.0.1 and have that rooted if possible. And that can be done using lgup?

Are you are using cm on v20x? Then making stock wouldn't recover your warranty cause you have surely unlocked bootloader, which can not be reverted. If you still want stock, then just do a kdz flash using KDZ flasher not LGFlashTool.
Here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
This will make full stock exept for Bootloader. Then just do a factory reset.
I hope you know, how to find correct firmware.

I guess that I need to flash original bootloader first to get S/W upgrade mode. In fastboot mode phone is not detected.
About bootloader, I can relock it. Also it depends on the laws of each country if I lost warranty by unlocking or not.

This not detected thing looks like a CM bug, happens to everyone maybe. Don't worry about that. Just open and reinsert the battery. S/W mode will work then. This happened for me too.
Can you please tell me, how to relock successfully? And can I unlock again after relocking?
Still no success in getting to S/W mode.

How "Finally"? Reinserting battery or flashing bootloader?
So, you are trying to relock? Please tell if you succeed.
S/W mode.
I'll send it into the service first with unlocked bootloader and only if it gets rejected I will try to lock.
I have some dust under the screen so it can be hardly affected by any software changes.

hey xda world,
first this is my first post ever on this forum and i cant hold myself of being amazed from how helpful and smart the people here,
my case is kinda hairy so bare with me
now lets get to the mess, so i got yesterday myself a p9 *EVA-L09C02B123/Vodafone*, unlocked its bootloader then installed twrp and root, after doing the process i tried to lock the bootloader because of the annoying message at the bootup, but i couldn't because of an error from fastboot {Root type is risk}.
i looked up the error around the interwebs and xda ofc, and somewhere i found that relocking can only be done if all the partitions are oem/stock, so i decided to get rid of the twrp and flashed back the default recovery from the SRK Tool and still couldnt relock it.
then i started to look for stock roms and couldn't find a stock for the L09C02, so i tried the dload B136 and it failed at 50%, knowing that oeminfo dictates which version the phone should get, i got the C432 one and flashed it using twrp, did factory reset and i noticed the vodafone boot logo being replaced by the default huawei, at this point the build became *EVA-L09C432B123* and tried the b136 dload and still no luck and failing at 50%.
please help ! :crying::crying::crying:
Welcome to xda
Does your phone still boot? And what is it you are trying to achieve right now? Relock your bootloader?

my phone does boot, and yes i want to relock for the reason i might want to sell it but having that boot message is kinda cringey for non power users.
also an update on the case, yesterday after posting this thread i downloaded an update zip from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67122856&postcount=47
then i flashed the zip using twrp and succeeded, now the version is L09C432B136 but still no luck locking the bootloader.
Possible bad download? Try downloading the whole stock rom again.
Any error messages?

this is not a fix to lock the bootloader as that is hardware level not software level. Use the tool DC-Unlocker or SRK Tools, look on the other threads under Huawei P9 and you will find these two options to lock the bootloader again. I have already done it on mine after de-branding and network unlocking my (what is now a....) EVA-L09C432B136
If you can boot and have the correct version, I'd say try a factory reset, download that full stock rom again and try flashing. I don't see why that shouldn't work. Unless there is something different hardware wise about those branded ones...
first must remove root via super su, then flash stock recovery then relock
I get a "root type is risk" when i relock with SRK Tool, any idea?

i had an issue trying to update from B136 to B166 and i ****ed up everything
Only solution i found was to dload with stock rom B136 provided by PaulObrian in dev section, successfully, and guess what ? bootloader was locked again
just as the tiltle says cna it be relocked after unlocked? like if you get it unlocked, then you get hit by bootloop issue. can you like relock it then flash stock firmware? and send it back to LG or tmobile for repair. so relocking will remove the bootscreed info about unlocked..
anyone .? can confirm?? would love to see video of it.. relocking it.
yes, use the same command you used to unlock it - just change unlock to lock
ie: fastboot oem lock
use: fastboot getvar oem to check the status

If you have a custom boot loader then I think you are out of luck like I was. If you are on a stock boot loader then I don't know.

mines its locked.. dont want to void warranty, only if i could know that even if it bootloops and i can relock it i would unlock it..
So my scenario is that I unlocked mine and flashed TWRP to it. I then relocked it and that screwed me up bad (don't know what I was thinking). Anyway after I fixed it I was no longer able to relock it and when I got the next OTA I was back to my screwed up state and without thinking I followed my old steps exactly and restored the previous version of MM and never went back to 20o. One week later my phone is now a paper weight and I had to buy a new one.

i dont think relocking can damage the phone. what i think is this, you said you got ota. was that 20o? if so you update to that 20o, then downgrade you bricked your phone. as you stated restore previous version of MM never went back to 20o... you bricked it.. not relocking it... 20o its V3 of antirollback.. previous version of MM its 20i thats V2 and so its LP 10n. both V2 you could u[pdate or downgrade your phone from 10n-20i only... you brick it...
Ive done a bit of reading and the information seems to be in a few different threads and doesn't specifically mention the 20i update.
So here are my questions:
Can I root and install twrp without BL Unlock?
Can the BL be relocked? (Ive seen people stating it can and others say its impossible)
If TWRP cant be achieved w/o BL Unlock, can Xposed be installed without TWRP?
Im trying to avoid BL Unlock as I cant return it with an unlocked BL should I need to.
All I want is root, xposed and Viper4android
If I can unlock and relock BL then I'd be fine with that.
Id appreciate if all links and responses are applicable to the 20i update
Ive included a screenshot of the SW Info

root with locked bootloader only on LP10n you can downgrade from 20i to LP10n only as they both antirollback V2.. the new 20o its V3.. so youll be stuck there.. in LP 10n yes you can root with locked bootloader using systemroot injected...
on MM to root you must unlock bootloader and have a kernel that supports systemless ..
so quick answer locked bootloader.. only root no twrp and must be on LP10n.
MM you need bootloader unlocked..
according to some guys it can just by changing command relock.. funny no ones has made a video of it relocking.. as the same some say it cant some say it does.. i think only H811 can..
yes on LP 10n you cna flash xposed .. with flash fire.. thats the only zip that installs .. the rest like mods wont install.. funny thing xposed does.. the mods i do them manually placing the files to their folders and changing permissons..
my question is.. if unlocked .. and get hit by bootloop can we relock it even that phone has ILAPO o bootloop issue... as it needs to boot it reboots... so its it need it to boot phone to recock it.?
if you unlock could you relock it flash stock fimrware then send for repairs..? thats what i need to know.. so i can unlock it..

My last device has an unlocked Bl on MM10i(Ithink) and I downgraded to lp10n and the Unlocked BL message at boot went away. However Im not sure if it was relocked by downgrading or the message stopped showing.
Currently, the phone is completely stock w/o root. You're saying that I should downgrade to 10n, root and flashify Xposed.
If I do take this approach can I get MM and retain the root and xposed?

thats interesting .. so you must be on 20i. then downgrade to 10n and message on boot dissapeared.? then how could one tell its still locked??
if you want root with locked bootloader.. yes LP 10n do the inject low effor root and flash xposed . not sure about flashify , i used flash fire..

Yes I'm on 20i. However I'm not sure if I can downgrade on this version without tripping the QFuse.
And in regards to the previous device, I think the BL might still be unlocked. Ive read somewhere that the message only shows up if you're on MM.
It wont show if your're on LP even if its unlocked. Im not sure tho someone would have to confirm that thats the case.
If in fact the BL is still unlocked but its just a matter of it not being displayed at boot in LP, I imagine they might be able to tell when they use whatever software they use to wipe them when refurbishing.

MM20i and LP10n are V2 you are safe to downgrade. you can only go from 20i to 10n or 10n to 20i.. if you update 20o youll be stuck there..
okey thanks then maybe it only shows in MM do to the systemless feature blah blah blah.. and on lollipop you can get past that security...
all i want is to know can i relock it even with phone in bootloop issue.. thats what keeping me from unlocking.
Hello
i have to sell my device so i want to get it to stock again.
My current Setup:
Bootloader Unlocked, Stock Recovery, Rooted with Magisk, Stock ROM 9.0.0.283
What are the Steps to go Back to Stock and wipe everything?
Ive read that if the bootloader relock again it is not able to unlock the second time? Is this correct? I want to get the Unlock Code to the person who buy it but if its real, he cant use the code anymore..
anyway is it possible to do the job with the Stock E-Recovery in the current state of my phone? Without bootloader Relocked? Or is it necessary to relock the bootloader again?
Thank you very much

Ask the buyer if they want it locked. Personally it wouldn't be worth my time if it couldn't be unlocked again. Better to check first..
If you want to lock (not relock) bl justdownload your adequate firmware from androidhost.ru and flash fw using Usb-otg method.
You can unlock/lock your bl using unlock code anytime you want (provided you haven't changed your mainboard in the meantime).

Hi is it possible to do the following..
Adb relock bootloader in my current state?
In my opinion the relock of the bootloader restore system to default over the erecovery or is this wrong?
Many thanks

I thought you wanted to go back to stock. I've already gave you solution to bring back all the way stock.
I m not sure if it's even possible to re-lock bootloader using fastboot when you're on pie.
Bootloader status re-locked still means your warranty is void.

Hey I've tried this otg method but without success
If I try it with the dload folder option and try to force flash the emui updater throws an error.
Even with the dialer code method.. same..
I'm not able to get it to stock.
I've tried the Huawei suite on PC and phone in fastboot mode..same..massage this phone can't be reset or so..
What can I do next?
Current state, halfway working phone that's boot into os 2 times from 10 reboots.
