I have read that Sony Phones wont be able to update via OTA update once the bootloader is unlocked. I just got my HTC One and since i dont want to loose all my data, I want to unlock the bootloader right now. Will I still be able to receive the OTA 4.2 update for the one once my bootlader is unlocked?
I dont have experience with locked bootloaders as my previous phone was an old samsung that came with bootloader unlocked(not anymore).
Thanks for the help in advance.
If you have the bootloader unlocked, you will not receive the OTA.
P.s. If you will unlock your bootloader, you will lose all your data
Thank You

Are you referring to unlocked bootloader or SIM unlocked? To do the OTA update, you have to relock the bootloader yourself before the OTA update will work. If you're referring to SIM unlock, if your phone is already SIM unlocked, the OTA update will not alter that, it will still be SIM unlocked after the update.

I've never gotten a T-Mobile OTA update to work if the bootloader is unlocked. Any modification other than S-OFF causes the OTA to fail.

once you unlock and relock, you can't received OTA anymore. same like mine. need to try unlock and relock EDL method but I'm so lazy to try
Can't you just flash the full OTA in fastboot? I know you can flash the zip files off ASUS' site through TWRP.
Once you unlocked your bootloader then your IMEI number becomes blacklisted by Asus OTA server. Which means relocking bootloader will not bring OTA back. You are stuck with manual flashing every update with zip or fastboot.
It even stated clearly in the description on Asus website where you download the tool that OTA will no longer work once you unlock your bootloader. Also warranty will be voided once you do it aswell.
Is there any update on how to unlock the bootloader with the ex-new method of send a fake request to the servers?
