Hi everyone
Question for professionals and experienced people I hope to get a reliable answer on this matter
1- What do I lose when opening a bootloader other than air update and payment and warranty service?
2- Is it possible to return to the official status and receive air updates?
Thanks everyone in advance
Can't say for sure but you should still get OTA; if not you'll get full ROM zips delivered via OTA instead of the smaller chunk/patch updates.
The main thing is banking apps and Google Pay. Widevine should be OK. On mine it's L1 so still A-OK for Netflix/etc.
OTA updates work also if bootloader is unlocked. Idem for payement and warranty service...
If you root the phone it isn"t the same story.
Mine is rooted and OTA updates work. I download the update BUT I unroot the phone before installing it.
It"s possible to relock the bootloader but no need to do that...
PS: Unlocking bootloader resets the phone (Back up what you need before).
Unlock bootloader means no more hd on netflix n stuff.
Widevine stay L1 but netflix will failed to load unless you delete smthing n widevine drop to l3

Read carefully the forum! It seems people had problems by flashing a wrong global rom. I can't help you more because I've got MI9T Pro and didn't read a lot about that.

hi all,
Just having a thought (might not work but thought i'd ask)
Some OTA's / Firmwares which you can install from the bootloader have the ability to re-lock the device, would the same be possible for the other way around?
I mean i'm on a locked bootloader now cos of the crap i installed which updated me to 9.1, it relocked the bootloader, I can turn on OEM unlocking (FRP) but obviously it remains unlocked.
Would there be a way to repackage a firmware package so that it does the opposite to re-locking?
I think everyone has pretty much given up on Huawei devices, I was just trying to disable zRAM and i can't.
Any thoughts ? Is this a possible avenue? or is this simply not going to work?
I'd guess the latter but thought i'd ask.
Which firmware version relocked your bootloader? I can perhaps take a look at it in my free time.

Nope! DLOAD re-lock bootloader to factory condition, but there's no way to unlock the bootloader with it.
I don't think Huawei will give you the unlock code a second time, but maybe you will be lucky, who knows.
Maybe you can retrieve it from an email from them!?
Edit: You can download your HuaweiID data from Settings - > HuaweiID - > Privacy Center but i doubt you will get the bootloader code from there

I've spoke with them, they said they've not heard of a situation like this.
Bare in mind that this is information that has been passed to me before. Which is a correspondence, they are obligated to provide it regardless.
I don't believe it was in an email and I've checked all accounts
Thanks for sharing this topic
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
HI.
I am currently using the Tencent verions 8/128gb rog phone 2.
My bootloader is unlocked and i am running the latest WW rom with WW fingerprint.
I want to go back to the original factory state so that i may be able to get the Updates via OTA.
I want to go back to the original CN version and be able to get the OTAs
I read in some posts that Once bootloader has been unlocked. There is no way to get ota anymore. Whether it be cn or ww.. even if you lock the bootloader again??? is that true?
Can someone answer/help me get back to the stock/original factory rom.
i have attached the detailed snapshots showing my current version
First you will never get any OTA updates because you unlocked the bootloader.
Second stay on WW better for you no need to get back to CN there is no updates about 2 month ago.

Whats the benefit of locking the bootloader again, when there is no chance of Auto OTAz anyways?

Does not work like that. It states clearly on Asus bootloader unlock tool, doing bootloader unlock will permanently disable OTA updates. Since your IEMI number will be automatically black listed from their OTA server. So even if you re-lock your bootloader you still won't receive any OTA updates.

Don't ask me ask asus. Since they are stating this clearly on their information about their tool.
Also unlocking bootloader does not change IMEI number. That's why doing OTA with re-locked or unlocked bootloader won't give you anymore OTA.
And yes I have seen people saying updates through OTA no longer works once bootloader is unlocked.
hi guys, I made a stupid thing earlier, I went using the bootloader unlock for Asus rog tencent which can be found on the guide how to convert CN to WW, now I always get message when I turn on the phone that the bootloader is unlock and it makes.me sick, what I done is I unlock the bootloader then I'm wondering why I can't flash any firmware on my phone, do you have any idea or tips how can I relock my bootloader again? I don't want this message popping up each time I turn on my device. Help please. My software information is WW_16.0622.1906.19_0

Keep in mind relocking your bootloader won't get you any OTA updates anymore. You will have to manually flash your device from now on, since your IMEI is blacklisted by Asus OTA server.

Is there a way to lock it again with my current firmware sir? My God I done very stupid things today. I don't even know how to flash a firmware manually. I just follow things on YouTube. But I'm a bit techy so if there's a way sir, please share it.

That's a relief.
If i may, a related question:
When unlocking the bootloader with the unlock tool, will the phone be factory reset? Apps and settings gone?
I ask because I don't want to waste a whole week setting my new phone up just for it to be erased when the unlock is finally available next Wednesday.

Yes, everything gets wiped. However, you need to be using the phone in order to unlock it after the 7 day period. If not you'll get an error saying you need to use the phone more, and then you'll have to wait longer.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. That's annoying but I guess I can use the phone for certain basic things while I wait.

I have the same situation, did you get the updates automatically?
Hello,
After upgrading my op 10 pro to C.22 it started to show a message on boot: Orange State (Screenshot).
Bootloader unlocked and rooted.
Is there any way to remove it?
i cant be sure. but i would assume it is a cross-flashed device, and something in the new bootloader does not like a mismatch somewhere.
i have no information or proof or anything to confirm this, just a random thought i had.

Would someone share the update files to C22 for NE2213 plz?
It affects all models. This popped up on the Chinese op forum and I was wondering wtf they were blabbing about until I updated my 2215. This is normal on all previous op devices. Not seeing it was odd when I rooted.
I got the same message when upgraded to C22 on NE2215 from setting update.
i had the same problem when i updated to c22. after a moment of confusion i used adb relock the device and the orange line disappeared kkk

You were able to relock bootloader without bricking with JUST adb flaahing lock?

It won't brick if nothing of system was changed I've always unlocked previous devices and relocked them with no issues. As long as it's not rooted or system changed.
