Unlocking bootloader doesn't affect on OTA update. You get OTA updates and also flash on unlocked bootloader.
You are not rooted. Is your android have custom recovery or kernel. If yes then you get OTA update but can't flash in recovery. You get error because update checks your system and found that system is modified.
I don't have any custom recovery. It's a stock android but bootloader has been unlocked.

Go to fastboot mode and type
"fastboot devices" then enter and type
"fastboot oem device-info" enter and see device tampered option is true or false.
If it true it means your device is modified.

Basically, I need the 4.4.2 OTA.
I unlocked the bootloader. I need root to get S-off. Except I'm currently on S-on and the only way to install a recovery and get root is to have S-off (correct me if I'm wrong). Any workaround to this that isn't super complicated?
I've checked USB ports, and I can't seem to get my device to be recognized. "fastboot devices" shows up nothing. Currently unlocked, and S-on.
Forgot that unlocking bootloader again would wipe my phone, forgot to make backup, so everything's deleted ;(. Not possible to get s-off anymore?
Any help would be appreciated.

You just need an unlocked bootloader to install a recovery, when you are in fastboot (if you turn the phone on and do adb reboot fastboot, or hold down vol down and power and select fastboot when the HBOOT menu comes up) you can do the command line fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being your recovery you want to load) you can then start the phone up, copy superuser.zip on there somewhere and install with your custom recovery.
All that said, you don't need to do any of that to do 4.4.2 OTA, and in fact it wont install if you have a custom recovery. Are you having a problem that it wont download/install. If your phone is stock other than an unlocked bootloader it will install (trust me i just did it). If you have stock recovery just download the 4.4.2 OTA file from the other thread, then save it to the phone somewhere, the go to recovery in HBOOT, wait 1 second and then hold up vol and power for 5 seconds (may have to do this more than once). Menu comes up, do wipe cache, and then do install from device storage.
After thats done you can follow my above instructions and root it
Sorry if I didn't state it more clearly, but my issue is I can't install a recovery. I can boot into bootloader and fastboot but when I type in "fastboot" devices on my PC nothing comes up.

Have you installed HTC Sync? When you boot into the bootloader then fastboot and then plug in your usb cable does it say "fastboot usb" on screen?

I uninstalled HTC sync so as to not have it interfere with any s-off/etc. programs. I still have HTC drivers installed. Re-install both HTC sync and drivers?

HTC Sync won't interfere with anything. You need that and the drivers installed for it to work, I would start there and see what happens.
I'll re-install it again.
Is there anything I can do to just completely get back to stock everything? Willing to manually update it but I'd like to be able to just go to settings and just update via OTA from there.

As long as you have an active AT&T SIM card in there it will update even with an unlocked bootloader, even if its rooted. As long as you didn't mod anything. I just did the update like this, it worked fine.
I've rooted and unlocked the bootloader before but I've unrooted since then. Is there still a chance I just haven't gotten the update pushed to my device yet?

Thanks. I have that file all ready to go in my folder. Only problem I have now is that I can't get s-off. I've installed recovery + custom kernel but the su binaries are outdated for both superSU and superuser. I've tried to flash a 4.3 version of superSU only to have the same error.
I followed instructions for root after I flashed a super tool I also flashed a custom kernel. After I rebooted is where I started to get the "outdated binaries" prompts.

Ok that changes things. IMO you need to backup your data, install the 4.3 RUU to wipe everything out and make sure you have stock recovery, then you can install the OTA zip from stock recovery, or go ahead and download it direct from AT&T. You can then root and go from there. Now as for S-Off if you have HBOOT 1.55 or newer I don't think you can get it. I can't get it on mine I tried every way possible. You don't need S-Off for this to work
Hey all I'm having issues with a device that recieved an OTA update and is now bricked.
My device is a 2015 moto e surnia xt1526
I have tried applying factory firmware with mfastboot, but it is failing because the device the "enable OEM unlock" box is not checked. I can't boot the phone so I can't change this. I've been trying to sideload the firmware from the recovery, but that is failing as well. Does anyone know where I can get a sideload able firmware or how to get that oem unlock box checked from either the locked bootloader or recovery?

same problem i have... do you got any sollution??
Like the title says. I am rooted and have insatlled RR MM and TWRP is also installed. I am able to do stuff from TWRP.
But when I check bootloader status from fastboot, I see it's locked.
I had unlocked the bootloader UNOFFICIALLY.
How do I unlock it again? The unlock command gives me Invalid token error.

Go with official unlock. It takes a few days from the request, and you won't have any problem
Hi guys,
I got a bootloader unlocked ANE-LX2J and I want to lock it again but I dont know the next step.
I still have the bootloader unlock code and already flashed FULL OTA using TWRP and did factory reset.
So now, my P20 Lite is running pure stock again and ready to be locked right? or still not lol :silly:
Based on what I read here, after relocking bootloader using fastboot oem relock command, the warning/alert that shows when the device is booting is still there and I want to get rid of it.
Thanks :highfive:

Yes, you're ok to relock your bootloader if all partition and recovery are stock and your device is working without issues. After relock the recovery will do Factory Data Reset and no more warnings "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted"
Boot into Fastboot&Rescue Mode and use this command:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [I][B]yourcode[/B][/I]
Then you enter into Lock Bootloader menu and just follow the instructions.
YES -
NO -

Does the Lock Bootloader menu will automatically show after relock command? I'll give it a shot later. Thanks :highfive:

Yes, if your code is correct.

it will show a red text saying your system has been tampered with and turn off..
you will need to restore a completly stock rom with sdcard before you can boot the phone.
Afternoon folks.
I had upgraded to the 13 Beta, and was going to downgrade back to 12, the device rebooted and was left at the bootloader.
I had NOT OEM unlocked the device, so is there anyway I can unlock it from recovery, or rescue mode, just so I can flash the factory 12 image again.
or is there a way to install a factory image without the Unlock
