I'm currently on android pie version PPSS29.55.24-2 and I'm experiencing severe lags on this version even after factory resetting it several times plus the audio quality is ****.
Bootloader is locked, can someone provide an step by step guide to downgrade it to Oreo?
Any help would be appreciated.

There is only one way to downgrade firmware. You need to unlock the bootloader. If you cannot or do not want to I can't think of another way. Sorry.

Also you sure I won't hard brick my device?

I'm interested in rooting my nexus 6. I know that you have to unlock the bootloader in order to root the phone and install a custom recovery. But after all of that is done is it ok for me to re-lock the bootloader for security reasons or will it have any issues?
Thanks in advance.

Why is that the case? I was able to unlock flash 5.0, relock and side load 5.1. Did Google change something in 5.1?

Yes. Very much so.
problem is.. you now have to enable oem unlocking, to unlock the bootloader. technically, you can still be rooted and lock your bootloader. but the problem is that some have gone back and relocked their bootloader(not with root i dont think so) only to find that they cant boot up, that they end up with a boot loop. and then they cant unlock their bootloaders to flash the factory.img, because you need to check that setting first, to unlock the bootloader. honestly, i think someone with root, and twrp, would be able to. if not, you can fix it by formatting a few things(if you have twrp).

If you have a custom recovery installed, then having a locked bootloader is no more secure than having an unlocked one...

Yes it will lock bootloader only if you have verizon or AT&T N910V/N910A.
On Other models the bootloader will lock just to downgrade to 5.0/4.4.4 if you flash 6.0.1 bootloader.
You won't be able to downgrade.

I'm sorry but you contradicted yourself (makes no sense).
On other models bootloader will lock "just to downgrade to 5?" if you flash 6 bootloader? I don't understand.....

I mean once you upgrade to mashamallow bootloader you cannot downgrade to 5.0 or 4.4.4 because bootloader will lock just to prevent downgrading otherwise no issues with root/roms/recovery.
You can still downgrade to 5.1.1 though.
On at&t and verizon bootloaders are locked for downgrading and flashing recovery/rooting etc.

You've been great help regardless, no problem! It's not that bad
Also - I have a Note 4 from Verizon - is that bootloader unlockable now? I do however have that on 6.0.1 already I think so no?

You can downgrade to 5.1.1 by odin then you can unlock bootloader .

Link below there is a guide first you have do downgrade to 5.1.1 then upgrade to marshmallow without relock the bootloader.
Once you do that then you can flash any marshmallow rom.
Good luck.

With or without PC?
I have a F8131 one, and the bootloader cannot be unlocked. I saw someone say there's a way to unlock bootloader without proof. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Unlock bootloader
Incidentally, I have this problem.
I have a SO-04H.
I tried different ways but to no avail.
I would ask the froum elders to find a solution or trick for this.
So i really want to go to stock Android. Is it possible to flash to stock android but keep a few apps? I want to keep the camera app since it was desigend for the camera, and maybe a few other things.
has anyoe else flashed a new OS to their pro+ yet and if you have what is your experience with it so far?

There is no chance for that since the bootloader isn't unlockable.

Maybe not yet, but probaly will be or someone will find a way to do it.
Is there a post i have misses where i can see which apps and files needed to be transfered to have accesess to specific features. Or is that a figure it out yourself thing?
A start would be to install the factory service software 1.5, but the common version doesn't work. Need Chinese phone number to register on a download website for the adapted one - may give some more insights but without exploit no bootloader unlock.

It may be because i haven't ventured further. But as far as i can see on my phone, the bootloader should be unlockable. Or at least i have allowed OEM unlocking which states "Allow bootloader to be unlocked".
So is it when i get further into the process it still won't allow the bootloader to eb unlocked?

You can tick the "allow unlock" button but that's all. None of the unlock commands work. I think @jericho246 tested that.
