Ok so in short I unlocked the bootloader a while back, installed TWRP and magisk and I'm on version RMX1931EX_11_C.31. I would like to update to the newest version and lock the bootloader again.
Problem is since everything is in chaos I have no idea what to do especially since it's been a while since I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP.
So my question is simply what do I gotta do to basically get the X2 back into stock form and how large is the risk that I might brick it?

My gf has HTC One with latest stock T-Mobile US ROM, unlocked bootloader, is rooted, and has TWRP. T-Mobile is about to release an OTA (source), and I am wondering how to go about installing it. AFAIK, stock recovery is required, AND the bootloader needs to be locked again. If this is the case, re-rooting will require unlocking the bootloader and thus doing factory reset? Is there a simpler way to do this?
Stock recovery and preinstalled apps needed
Bootloader locked not needed

FYI I have actually tried running an RUU on unlocked bootloader with stock recovery, kept failing until I relocked the bootloader...

WTF dude.....
You relocked the bootloader with TWRP? You are really lucky to not have a bricked phone.
Unfortunately for you, to replace twrp with stock recovery and get the phone back to stock state you'll have to unlock the bootloader again as we cant do anything with a locked bootloader.
*>Unlock your phone like you did before.
*>Make sure you have twrp installed.

(just don't put image of twrp in the directory since you are aiming to go stock)

I've unlocked and relocked my BL about 10 times with no adverse effects that i can see apart from after relock BL displays 'relocked'. I've also loaded all 3 different versions of TWRP in between and about 4 gsi images. Now back to stock B136 with magisk 17.1 and BL unlocked again with safetynet passing and banking apps working plus google play showing 'certified'. Why does unlocking and rocking BL cause issue? apart from the obvious full wipe required. Isn't it just a software flag getting set and reset? It's a genuine question cause i really don't know.

Boy aren't you lucky. Some guys have a hard time with relocking bootloader.Maybe you are just lucky or they're doing something wrong.
But how did you flash twrp with a locked bootloader?
PS im also having the relocked status in fastboot. Do you think we can make it back to 'Locked'? Just in case of warranty issues.
Please help fellow person in trouble here guys, i have so many data stored in the device and the device only shows Always on Display (AOD) running after the update finished and restart. Can somebody tell is it possible to at least get my data back? My bootloader are not unlocked and I use global device performing local update using zip via Updater app. Then suddenly the black screen happen after the device prompt to reboot :/
You flashed the whole rom or the ota update? Im asking because i flashed the same as you yesterday 12.0.9.0 RKBMIXM but my bootloader is unlocked and i flashed the whole rom file (3.1gb) and everythings working fine for me
Same thing happened to mine, when updating via updater, flashed whole 3.1gb, after updating then rebooted it got stuck on bootloader, so i factory reset then it got locked, had to go to service center as the password on my mi account wont work. My bootloader was locked also btw.
Seems like the locked bootloader is the problem. Can someone else confirm this?
Usually you can try to enter recovery mode to wipe data. Which will format the phone, because the version you're trying to flash isn't yet stable to flash. Hope this helps.
Yes, after flash and reboot it will become blank screen, but when try to turn off, the usual four icon menu will appear, just restart into recovery and wipe data will start the phone successfully.

Guys I want to have some infos on Xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g.. i just buy it and want to root, I think there is no recovery for the moment. For root, I need to unlock bootloader, and it wipe the entire phone. But after root, does it block OTA, or I have to relock to update and so on...thanks

It doesnt block OTA if you unlock bootloader. You will be able to get OTA as long as you have stock recovery

good to know..have to create xiaomi account to get oem unlock and find a good tuto...that's 8 years I'm on a galaxy note 3....have to adapt to xiaomi device....
I am planning to return this phone to buy a xiaomi fold 2 but since I am rooted and bootloader unlocked I would need to relock the bootloader before I return it.
I would imagine I would need to downgrade back to the exploitable version to relock it as I am currently on12.0.16.6 but im not sure how as the OTA update zip isnt the standard partition image format im used to so I cant just do dd if=/xxxx.img of=/dev/xxxx
I already have the 12.0.13.6 firmware downloaded im just not sure how to get it back onto my phone.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
nevermind. The bootloader is now locked
I booted into EDL mode and soft bricked after booting out of it but it did relock the bootloader so I can now return in peace (for anyone wondering it was fastboot oem reboot_edl) I would not recommend running it at all though as you need to download new firmware from vivo recovery just to make the phone usable again.
I have a Moto Edge S pro, and he came with the global ROM, and of course, with the BL unlocked. My question is: if I root my device, will I be able to install android 13??? Cause he still on Android 11 and it takes a lot of battery, and using root can I block the bootloader? Or just using the unlocked bootloader, can I update my phone by myself? If yes, how? I saw here a lot of manuals but I'm not confident to do by myself without help, can someone help me? Thank you everybody!!!
There is no problem
I have official ROM 13
After the update locked the bootloader
and no problem(moto edge s pro)

Ok, I downloaded the stock rom (using the RMSA) but how can I know that it's already the one with android 13? Because my BL still unlocked and I know I have to put the command to lock again. So, if I install again the stock ROM of android 11 and block the BL, when my phone turns on, will I be able to update using OTA?
My suggestion that once the bootloader unlocked on a motorola phone let it stay unlocked then flash whatever compatible rom you want but don't lock back. Sometimes under special circumstances locking back can brick a phone. If there is an anti-rollback protection in your phone then it can brick the phone with locked bootloader and previous Android version.
